Letters to Romeo.

In one of the hospitals in the town of Greasy Corner, the hunters regularly inquired to see if there were any new cases of humans attacked by vampires. And after getting a new report, the hunters walked through the corridor. When they reached the inner counter, one of them asked the nurse.

"Is Dr. Kipling in?"

"Dr. Kipling is making his rounds right now. You can wait for him until he finishes seeing the patients," answered the nurse. They waited for an hour before the doctor was free.

On meeting the doctor, one of the hunters asked, "We are detectives and we wanted to check on one of the patients, who was attacked in the forest. Is she alright now?"

The doctor nodded and replied, "Yes, the young lady is now fine. She should be able to leave this place tomorrow morning."

"You wouldn't mind if we asked her a few questions, would you?" asked one of the hunters, and the doctor gave his approval.

"You can, but before that you will need to show me your badge."

"Of course," replied the hunters, pulling out the badges they showed to the doctor, and he took them to the patient. Upon reaching the room, the hunters walked in and saw a man and a woman, and a girl, who laid on the bed with a bandage around her head. "Good evening, miss. We are from the detective agency and have a few questions to ask."

The girl nodded, watching the doctor leave; the other hunter asked, "Miss…"

"Shelby," replied the girl, suspiciously looking at the men.

"Shelby, can you tell us what happened the day you met with an accident?" asked the hunter.

The girl replied, "I was attacked by a man who looked like an animal. He tried to hurt me. He first killed…" she paused as if unable to speak about the boy who was killed in front of her. "He then tried to get to me. He was a beast."

"Shelby," her mother stopped her from saying any more. The woman then turned to look at the detectives and said, "Shelby is still recovering, and she needs time to recover from the grief and other things. Please don't take her words seriously."

"But it was a beast," the girl frowned.

"You have been traumatized due to the shock," said her mother, not wanting the doctors or the people to think that her daughter was making up stories or was imagining things where she would need to be admitted back to the hospital. "What you saw was just a dream. There is no such thing as man-beasts, or a human drinking blood," whispered the woman.

The hunters shared a look between them, and then one of them spoke to the woman, "We would like to have a minute alone with your daughter if that is okay with you."

"No," came the woman's quick reply. "We are more than happy that Shelby is alright, and came back to us. We don't want to be involved in the case of what happened, and my daughter didn't kill the boy."

The hunters found it hard to gather more information because of the girl's parents. But the girl was much more cooperative and said,

"You know I didn't believe the first time I saw the man, and what I saw. But he was drinking blood."

"You found this man beast near the town, can you tell what the person looks like if you still remember?" asked the second hunter.

The girl nodded her head, "I can. Also, it wasn't the town."

On hearing this, the hunter frowned and asked, "What do you mean? You both were brought to the hospital near the town."

The girl's eyes darted from the hunters to look at her parents before her eyes returned to look at the two men. She then said,

"We didn't go through the town's route. We heard from this couple that no one came to the forest on the other side, which is in front of… Veteris." historical

"The university?" asked the hunter, and the girl nodded.

"There are some other ghost rumors that float between us university students…"

The hunters left the patient's room, stepping into the corridor, and one of them turned to look at the other and said, "Isn't it strange how we never explored the properties near Veteris?"

"Why what's wrong with Veteris? We need to check the forest and there was probably a vampire hiding in there," remarked the other.

"It is just strange that none of them ever spoke about checking into Veteris' property," replied the first one. He called someone on the phone while taking a short walk, "Yes… no, she seems a little scared to speak about it… Yes, we did. She told us that it was Veteris. I wanted to ask if we have ever tried to look further into the university. If there are any vampires in there…"

The person on the other side of the phone was none other than Mr. Davis, who is Melanie's father. He replied,

"Melanie and Conner are already on it. Yes, so far they haven't contacted us about vampires, so I am guessing there has been no vampire activity…no… we'll be doing that today. Call me if you find any suspicious activity. Alright, bye."

Disconnecting the call, Mr. Davis put his phone in his pocket, and he raised his head, he met his wife's eyes.

"What was it about Veteris?" asked Mrs. Davis.

"Parkin suspects that Veteris might have vampires living in there. He suggested that we inspect it," Mr. Davis replied to his wife, and Mrs. Davis held a grim look.

"I think it would be better to have someone replace one of our reliable people as one of the staff to keep a closer eye. But getting through the process and getting a spot is hard," said the woman, "It isn't like we didn't try it before but have failed."

"The latest information shows nothing, and everything has been clean. Same number of students enter and graduate, and the ones who don't, we keep an eye," said Mr. Davis. "

"Maybe we should pay Mel a visit. It would be harmless, wouldn't it?" suggested Mrs.. Davis.
