32.

When they were driving by dirt road. Suddenly the silence of the night was broken by the sound of some footsteps. nop stopped the car. Becky  suddenly Startled and sat up straight and looked around. Faye sitting behind was surprised and asked nop, "what happened? Why did you stop the car? "

"Looks like someone is coming this way," nop replied. 

"There is no one in this forest," said Faye. But in a moment Fay was silenced by the sound of dry leaves and trees. Nop turned on the car lights and looked around. Nothing could be seen except the trees. But a little later someone jumped on the car from the side. It looks like a girl.

" what was that" faye asked.

" A girl just jumped onto the car." Becky said.

" Oof! ", Fai made a noise and jumped out of the car and came forward.  Nop got down and tried to look at the girl's face.

The footsteps of some more people were still heard behind.  Fai looked at the side and said, "Get in the car immediately with the girl. There will be any wild animals. " 

Nop did as Faye said without saying a word. He took the girl in the car and started the car. "p'faye the car is ready. get up. "

Faye didn't answer.  She kept looking around. Suddenly some goons came out of the forest.

"What do you want?" Faye asked. By that time a goon saw the girl in the car. "That girl, in the car!" One said.

Faye looked at the girl then at the thugs. "Hey, drop that girl. Look, there's a new flower. She's better." One said.

"  you wish you can have me? " Faye said with a smile.

The goons just smiled thinking she is just joking. Although she was not.

Faye looked at nop and said, " we need to get her to safety. Drive towards north."

Faye ordered and then looked at the goons.

" Where is north?" Nop asked becky who was same confused as becky was. It was still night. But the moon was begins them so nop just turned to his left wishing that would be the right direction. Although it wasn't. .

....

Nop seemed to drive to the main road. The only road in the forest. They waited for faye to come back wishing she saw which direction they left.

After fifteen minutes faye returned with no scratches.

Nop who was standing outside the car looked at faye with surprise in his eyes. Becky was to busy attending to the girl.

" Are you okay?" Asked nop.

" Quite a man you are! Left a woman to deal with all the goons back there." Faye said with a smile. She was more then capable to deal with them. But she wanted to mess with nop.

" Well...um.. I .." nop was embarrassed. He lowered his head and just apologised.

" I am sorry! I shouldn't have left you alone. I was worried about becky umm my fiance's safety. I was selfish. I promised her brother that I will protect her. And there is no way I could've fought with all of them. Becky could've she knows kick boxing. But that doesn't mean she won't get hurt. I am sorry."

With this long apology faye was impressed and surprised.

" That cheeky little human, back there a vampire is ready to die for her and here a man with no man ego protecting her. She is lucky. Lucky enough to be my bride." Faye thought with a smirk.

Then looked at nop and said," you are hopeless. Anyway let's take her to my place."

" Your place? Wouldn't hospital be a better place?" Asked nop.

" Hospital? Huh!" With a scuff she said," it'd take four hours to reach the nearest hospital. My place is ten minutes away. Let's go." Said faye.

" Oh! You got cut maybe, you are bleeding." Nop said and brought out his handkerchief and tried to wipe the blood but faye pushed him away.

" Hands off! Don't touch me!" Faye said and wiped the blood with her sleeve. " This ain't mine anything."

This sudden outburst of faye attracted becky's attention who was busy wiping the girl's face and fixing her hair. She was still unconscious.

" Nop!" Becky looked at nop asking if he was okay.

" I am okay na!" Said nop with a smile.

" Really hopeless." Said faye looking down on nop.

Then faye got into the car and ordered nop to drive.

.....

After ten minutes of detour they finally reached to the castle.

Becky looked at the old rusty gates and got a deja vu. Although it wasn't clear. But she felt like she was here. She was here before.

She looked around carefully. Although in her dreams the gates were rusty old scary and very unwelcomeing. But now it looks just old and rusty like a well maintained old castle.

Then entered through the castle gates. Faye who got down before and opened the gates. Becky was surprised to see how well maintained it was. The walls were painted in bright pink and white. But the outer walls were painted in white and royal green.

She remembered running around in those hallways and corridors. She is just getting deja vus after deja vu. Everything seems familiar.

Becky looked around carefully. While Becky was looking around nop was tried to get the unconscious girl out of the car. As he went to get the girl out faye came back and hit his back.

" Hands off! You have a fiance! She is right there. Get handsy with her!"

Faye then picked up the girl on her shoulder and went into the castle without leaving any instructions for becky and nop.

Then confusingly looked at each other and then decided to follow faye.

" Do you think we should be here? She didn't asked us to be here. We should've waited outside." Nop said.

" You know I wanted to come here from my childhood, I am not missing out on this opportunity." Becky whispered.

Becky was excited to be in the castle for the first time. Although she has been here before she just doesn't remembers it.

The castle was different from her imagination. She imagined some kind of scary dark castle but it was just old. The  old pillars, wooden furnitures old paintings. Everything is according to her imagination. She felt like she knew this place. The paintings on the wall with the princess's photo torn off. Every thing just like her dream. Only thing remained was her dark scary vampire Princess......
