Finally the painting was completed just in time, Alisya assisted with Agler went to meet his tutor to submit the painting he had made. Early on seeing the painting Alisya her tutor just stared without saying a word, it made Alisya nervous instead of playing.
"I love it, I'll put it on display with a painting of your friends" he said.
"Oh...really? thank you" said Alisya relieved.
"Come tomorrow to the exhibition and see how many visitors are interested in your painting"
"Well, I'm definitely coming" he said.
Alisya and Agler resigned after the painting was received, they celebrated it with a bowl of sweet ice cream.
"I told you you'd make it, your painting is so beautiful" Agler said.
"Thank you, without your support still I wouldn't make a masterpiece that good"
"I will definitely support you" Agler said.
"Mm do you want some bread? I think it's good to eat ice cream with fresh bread" Agler said.
"Your taste is pretty weird, but well there's no harm in trying"
"Then wait here" said Agler.
He ran to a nearby shop, letting Alisya walk alone on the sidewalk. It didn't take long for Agele to get the bread and he was out of the store. He smiled at Alisya who was seriously eating ice cream but suddenly saw a car right behind Alisya that was traveling at high speed but was very fast.
He moved quickly, running towards Alisya before the car reached them and.
Bruks....
Ngiii......
The ice cream in Alisya's hand fell somewhere along with her body, her ears ringing hard enough that there was no sound she could hear.
Only the smoke from the car hitting the tree could he see, and Agler shook it violently. Time seemed to be running very slowly as people began to approach them and help the driver get out of the car.
"Alisa! you all right?" ask Agler, whose voice he can hear.
Alisya nodded, but they were taken to a nearby hospital with an unconscious driver. A few minutes later when Alisya received police treatment came to interrogate them, because Alisya's state of shock eating Agler who recounted the incident.
He testified that he was walking with Alisya on the sidewalk, suddenly a car drove up behind them and hit a tree. Luckily Agler and Alisya quickly regained consciousness and ran before the car hit them, though Alisya fell and suffered minor injuries while trying to save herself.
"Thank you for the cooperation" said the policeman.
"Together Sir" replied Agler and let the policeman leave them.
"No. You were in the store when the car came, but suddenly you pulled me and we fell just before the car hit a tree" Alisya said, recalling the actual incident.
"You're still in shock, you don't remember what really happened" Agler said, trying to convince her.
"really?"
"Of course Alisya, how could I run so fast in such a short time?"
"You're right, it seems like my head was slightly formed earlier" Alisya said as she held her head.
Agler stroked Alisya's head and told her to rest again until she was completely recovered, what Alisya remembered was indeed the real thing.
But Agler couldn't possibly agree because it made no sense to Alisya, he didn't want Alisya to be suspicious and to know the truth that he wasn't a human being.
For a human like Alisya he is just a blood-sucking monster, he promises to tell Alisya but not anytime soon. He would tell her when Alisya was ready to accept that fact.

One day passed since the collision incident, Alisya is now better and ready to see the painting exhibition held by her teacher. Together with Agler they went to see how many visitors were interested in his paintings.
The place was quite crowded, making Alisya even more excited. He also saw one by one the work of his friends and his teacher, one of the abstract paintings caught his attention the work of his teacher.
"You like it?" ask Agler.
"I can feel the emotion in the painting. Teachers are indeed great people, the message is easily conveyed even though abstract like this"
"What about the other paintings?"
"Everything's great, I'm not sure my work will be enjoyed by people"
"Hey don't be like that, your painting is also good" Agler said encouragingly.
Even so Alisya remained a little moody as the visitors only looked briefly and then left, but a woman in a black dress and gloves remained there.
Alisya wondered who was the woman who stared at the painting for a long time, while Agler felt a cold aura that gripped the woman that made him uncomfortable.
"Hello." said Alisya.
"Hello." replied the woman.
"I've noticed you've been staring at this painting long enough, does it appeal to you?" ask Alisya.
"Who would not be interested in seeing a masterpiece like this, I felt a strong emotion drawn in it. There is happiness, ambition and struggle that becomes a whole unity"
"Well, how do you know all those emotions?" ask Alisya amazed.
"I'm not a painting expert, but good paintings always catch my eye. Introduce my name Tianna"
"I'm Alisya and this is Agler, the painting that I saw is my work" Alisya said.
Tianna shook their hands one by one, but clearly his gaze to Agler was quite different.
"It seems like it's my lucky day, being able to meet and chat directly with the painter was really unexpected" Tianna said.
"You're overreacting"
"How about we chat over a drink, honestly the other paintings don't really interest me"
"Then let me treat you to a cup of coffee" Alisya said.
Tianna happily accepted the offer, they went to a nearby cafe. Alisya seemed to enjoy the chat and happy to meet people who like the results of his work. For hours they were there even their chatter got out of the main topic.
"Sorry, excuse me for a moment" said Alisya who could not bear to go to the toilet.
"Please" replied Tianna.
Alisya rushed away, leaving behind Tianna and Agler who did not speak at all.
"Tonight come to the public cemetery, there is something I must say as one people in the same" Tianna said.
"You're not an outcast vampire, just fulfill my invitation" Tianna insisted.
For some reason from afar Tianna's cold aura made him dislike, let alone Tianna telling him to come without telling him the reason.
He felt that Tianna was not a good vampire and that he should stay away from it, but he could not ignore it.
As a result Agele still came as requested, Tianna apparently had been waiting for the arrival of Agler since earlier. Under the moonlight Tianna seemed freer than it had been this afternoon, Agler remembered that Tianna now did not wear gloves or hats. This led him to believe that Tianna was a pure vampire.
"What's wrong?" ask Agler.
"The girl you were with, she's human, isn't she?" ask Tianna.
"Why?"
"Looks like he didn't know you were a vampire"
"It's none of your business!" agler said he felt the smell of threat.
"You guys look so close, is she your boyfriend?"
"Say what you want!"
"Rather....what if he finds out that you're a vampire? can you imagine how he would express himself when he found out that the man he had known was a cold-blooded monster?" tianna said without caring about Agler's question.
Syuutts....
Gep
Ah...
As fast as lightning Agler ran and strangled Tianna with his one powerful hand, although his breath was stifled but Tianna could still smile.
"What do you want?" ask Agler again.
"Join me, vampires like us until any time will not be accepted by humans. He still smiles at you because he does not know your true identity, but when you show who you really are then immediately he will kick you out" Tianna said.
As Agler began to stretch, he knew Alisya would definitely be afraid of him. Even so he wanted to stay with Alisya, living their happy day as usual.
"Think about it.Awhile the smooth skin will wrinkle, then the beautiful hair turns dull and the beautiful face will disappear. He'll age and die, then what about you? stay on this body and be immortal"
"No! I'm a half-vampire, my body keeps growing and can die too" Agler said.
"But over a long period of time, your age increases but your body develops for a very long time. In the end you will split up because of her reason, if it is not her who left you out of fear then she will leave you because of death."
Agler releases his grip, leaving Tianna free and whispering hypnotic words Agler will do as he pleases. It was actually quite difficult for Tianna as half of Agler's body was a vampire who was not capable of hypnotizing him, but it was fortunate that the other half was human so Tianna only needed to provoke Agler's human nature by instilling despair.

Although the painting is less popular but Alisya still happy, there are visitors who realize the message of the painting. That night Agler invited him to meet to celebrate the success of Alisya, Agler treat him to eat even in a small street stall.
Although simple but Alisya was happy because of the small attention, finished eating they went to the dock where they always spent time together.
The cool sea water blew Alisya's hair into disarray, but she did not care and enjoyed it. The moon that seemed larger than usual reflected on the sea water that did not want to calm down, and the waves that swept round the romantic night.
"You happy?" agler asked looking at Alisya's smile that never went out.
"Mm, everything is going well. Moreover, you are beside me" replied Alisya while leaning her head on Agler's shoulder.
They smiled at each other and enjoyed the night, but before long some bullies came to disturb their calm. The three men were acting pretentious with knives in hand, they asked for all the property Agler had and tried to touch Alisya.
But of course Agler will not stay silent when his girl is nosy by others, he asks Alisya to stay behind him and slightly retreat to be safer.
"Heh wants to be pretentious to be a hero in front of a girlfriend yes." said one of the men.
"You'd better just give up, three to one is not balanced. Rather than you dying for nothing it would be better if you left your money and your girl for us."
Haha
Laughter accompanied one of the men's jokes even though Agler wasn't funny, without giving him a chance to come forward and hit one of the men hard enough to fall on the sand.
"Damn it!" shouted friend.
Buk Buk Buk Buk
Agler fought two people at once but he felt no difficulty at all, of course because his body was stronger and faster than theirs. But there's still one chance Agler's off guard and.
Sreet...
"Agler!" alisya shouted at the hand of Agler who was bleeding due to a knife incision.
The men smiled as they felt they were going to win, but something beyond reason happened. Agler removed the blood coming out of the scar, strangely there were no incisions left there. Agler's hand was smooth as if it had never been hurt, it made the men and Alisya astonished.
Agler's expression now turned cold with his sharp gaze, he raised his hand and with his sharp nails in the claws of one of the men.
Aaaaarrrgggh.....
The shout was so loud that it made his friends shudder, they realized that the one they were fighting was no ordinary human.
"The monster!" yelled one of the men.
"Run..save yourself!" said the other while taking a thousand steps.
But he was not fast enough for Agler, Agler easily caught up with him and pulled the man's hand until he could not run anymore.
Buccancy
Sreet...
Aaaah.....
Although the distance was quite far but Alisya could see Agler clawing at the man from the front, pieces of clothes and blood mixed into one of the wounds Agler gave. It wasn't enough to get there that Agler came back with his quick pace and.
Sreeet...
With just one incision Agler cut the neck of the man right in front of Alisya with his nails, now they have survived the robbers who tried to hurt them. The only one who did not survive was Alisya mentally, without a word or anything else Alisya stood looking at the changed man before her eyes.
Suddenly Alisya remembered the accident that almost took his life, he did not remember wrongly. At that time Agler was far away from him, and the reason why he survived was because Agler ran very fast to pull his hand.
"Alisya." call Agler slowly.
"I'm not a human being, I'm a monster" he said slowly.
