“What is it?” he asked her.
“I am wondering why there isn’t a snowfall today,” she replied.
Alexander let out a humorless chuckle. “I am trying to open the portal here and you are worried about the weather?”
“Alex, when the snow hits my skin, it heals my wounds automatically. Whenever I used to get hurt, snow would drift down from the sky and cure me. Then why isn’t it happening now?”
Alexander looked at her as if she had grown two heads. “Did Shier hit on your head as well?” He wasn’t in his right mind to think straight as well because the portal was still closed.
“No, I—let it be.” She sucked in a deep breath. Then she cupped his cheeks with her shaky hands and confessed with a cute smile, “I just wanted to let you know. I love you.”
Alexander was caught off-guard at her sudden confession. He didn’t expect her to have such deep feelings for him. Then again, he did too. For the time he spent away from her, every day he fell for her deeper and harder as he kept remembering her cute smiles, lively giggles, lame jokes, and everything else about her. He didn’t want to admit at first that he was in love with Becca, but when he finally did, he rushed back to the human world to be at her side.
Therefore, Alexander didn’t hesitate before saying, “And I love you too, Becca.”
Becca smiled and stood on her tiptoes to place her lips on his. Just like she had read in books, she definitely felt butterflies, but much more intense. It literally felt like sparklers were going off in her belly. Also, as if something was leaving her body, an important part was being sucked out.
On the other hand, Alexander ignored the sudden flow of energy throughout his body because he wanted to focus on their kiss and move his lips with hers in sync. After all the drama, it felt good to have in his arms. He wanted to enjoy the moment, yet the overwhelming sensation of power surging through his veins made him pull back from the kiss, leaving Becca breathless.
Becca couldn’t bear to look into Alexander’s eyes and averted her gaze while Alexander tried to open the portal once again. That was when Becca saw her father pointing a gun at Alexander from a distance. She watched Alexander still looking at the tree, kicking it in frustration.
Becca glanced at the banyan tree, finding a small hole appearing which meant the portal from the vampire world was opening. As soon as Becca saw Shier pulling the trigger, without a second thought, she pushed Alexander towards the portal and let the bullet hit her stomach. She whimpered in pain.
“Becca!” Alexander called out, but his voice faded since the portal closed as he had stepped into the vampire world.
Whereas, Becca laid there sprawled on the grass, groaning in pain as blood started to pour from her stomach. Her father ran away once the gun erupted, not looking back once to see whether he shot Alexander or his own daughter. Thinking he shot Alexander, he scurried away.
Becca felt her body going weaker than ever, as she felt her eyes drooping. She knew that death was near—she could feel it. She remembered the times she spent with Vanessa, Sebastian, Lucas, and most importantly, with the love of her life, Alexander Insworthe. The time was short, but within that period, Becca learned what happiness, love, care—it all felt like her dream came true. She always craved for these feelings since childhood, but she received it all at once, just for one reason—the vampire potion.
She laid there helplessly.
In the meantime, Phil, who came through the portal, saw Becca’s body on the ground. He got here from Becca’s house, but he was too late. He examined the body, to see whether she was really dead or not. When he couldn’t feel her breathing anymore, he chuckled and said, “Well, it’s better you are dead. If I didn’t get the potion, no one else should have either.” He further spoke, pulling a few strands of Becca’s hair behind her back. “Becca Hertford died with the potion to save the love of her life. Rot in hell.” With that, he returned to the vampire world.
###
It was midnight. The sky was darker than usual.
The vampire portal opened all of a sudden, and a woman with grey hair stepped into the human world.
The weather started changing and soft snow started to fall.
She looked at Becca’s body still lying near the portal. Her hazel eyes softened at the sight. She leaned to Becca and caressed her cheek, as she said with a smile, “Get up, sweetheart. Your Godmother is here.”
Suddenly, Becca opened her eyes.
