people, pushing them, with many of them staring at us angrily.
    Eros frowned at me, impatiently, and pulled down a group of people in front of us. We walked out of the club with in a few minutes. That was much easier than when we entered it.
    Then we reached the street , walking side by side on the pavement.
    “What’s the matter with you?” I asked.
    “I can’t stay in the middle of so many people. The blood of some of them enhances my appetite for human blood.” Eros looked confused.
    “Have you bitten many people?” I asked, curious.
    “ Enough.” His voice was aloof.
     
    We walked on a deserted street in silence. There were only some cars badly parked.
    After that, we heard a blaring noise of people coming after me.
    “She must be there!” That was my doctor’s voice.
    “ We’ll catch her,” other man said.
    I didn’t understand why the doctor was after me.
    “What does he want from me?”
     
    “Let’s run!” Eros said.
     
    We ran and stopped in a different street. I glared at him and he stared at my frightened eyes. There were five men along with the doctor.
    They reached us, we were trapped. Eros stopped and looked from side to side, between me and the gun.
    The doctor was pointing his gun in my direction.
    “What do you want from me?” I cautiously asked.
    “ We want you to come with us,” the doctor replied, and made a friendly gesture in my direction.
    “W hy?” My voice was frightened.
    “You have a rare type of blood. We need to examine you,” he stated.
    “No! I’m not going with you!” I said loudly.
    I glanced up apprehensively . I was very afraid.
    “ Either you come with us, or you will die right here,” the doctor said.
    I had no choice. After all, I would die sooner or later.
    “ I prefer to die now,” I said, in an outbreak of panic.
    Eros stood in front of me, trying to protect me from them.
    “You won’t get what you want. I won’t let anyone hurt her,” Eros said and his face was very grave.
    Eros fought the six men. He didn’t use his vampire powers as he struggled like a human being. For a few moments he dominated the fight, until he was beaten and fell on the ground.
    “ Run! Go away!” Eros yelled, in panic, looking towards me.
    “ I can’t leave you alone here with them,” I said, fearfully.
    “ Go way!” Eros vociferated.
    I had no choice and did it as he asked. I ran away.
    I heard shooting from the doctor’s gun. I stared back at them, alarmed, and I saw Eros lying on the floor.  His eyes were shut… he was dead.
    I tried to go back and die with him. I realized those men were pursuing me and then I ran even faster.
    I reached a street with several exits. I moved quickly towards one of them and saw a giant tree. I climbed it and stayed hidden on a branch. They walked from side to side but didn’t find me.
    Then they walked away.
    “We’ll catch her,” the doctor said aloud.
    I listened to everything they said. 
    I descended the tree hours later, when I was sure that they weren’t close to me and I wasn’t in danger anymore that night. During  my escape I had lost my shoes. My dress was torn to shreds and I was dusty. My hair was untidy. I didn’t care about that.
    I realized that Eros was really dead when I climbed the roof of a house. I stayed there, sitting and looking straight ahead the darkness in that horrid night.
    Eros was dead, that was all I could think of. I remembered again the noise of shooting and Eros’s body on the ground.
    I cried in a deep despair. First I thought that in my life I just depended on my mother to survive. Now I realized that Eros had become a part of my world too.
     
    What would I do without him?
     
    I figured out I would never see his face again, nor would hear his voice. Wouldn’t touch his cold skin, wouldn’t feel his gelid touch on my skin.
     
    My thoughts were interrupted when I heard footsteps on the roof. I looked slightly to the side and saw his image, standing in front of me, with three
