wounds on his chest.
    “You’re dead ! I saw them killing you!” I said and my eyes were wide opened, shocked.
    I thought I was talking to a ghost.
    “ Did you forget I’m immortal?” he asked and leaped over, in a unique, double jump and came quickly in my direction.
    I stood up quietly and verified the shooting holes on his chest. I touched his dark T-shirt; pressing my fingers against the three wounds in his dead flesh.
    His blood was dark and thick. He didn’t bleed like humans. His blood was gummous.
    I was sure he wasn’t an illusion. He had really survived, he was an immortal. It would be impossible for a human being to escape that ambush.
    For the first time I understood that being a vampire had some pros and immortality was one of them.
    “ In a few hours I’ll be totally recovere,” he said, while removing the three bullets from his chest with his fingers. He contorted his face in pain after removing the bullets. The bullets fell on the floor, clinking.
     
    When I looked into his dark eyes, they changed color. Now his eyes became light-gray and there were dark rings around them.
    His teeth sprung slowly. He needed to show his true nature by doing that.
    I faced his light grey eyes without fear. It occurred to me that his supernatural look was even more irresistible than his human face.
     
    How could a creature from the darkness be dreadful and beautiful at the same time ?
    I interrupted my thoughts after I heard him say something.
    “You’re in danger!” He was so worried.
    “ What should I do? They’ll certainly come after me, and you’re also in danger,” I deduced, watching his face.
    I hadn’t realized that I was very concerned about him, instead of myself. I wouldn’t forgive myself if something bad happened to him again.
    “ You’ll have to come with me.” He stared into my eyes. “You might behave like a human, but you can’t do all they do,” Eros warned me, with a harsh voice.
    “ Where will we go?” I stared at him, confused.
    “ We will go to the place from where I came,” he communicated, looking up at the stars in the night sky.
    I watched his gloomy face.
     
    “We will go to our planet,” he said and turned to face me.
    “ Your father is there. I came to Earth to take you to him.” His voice seemed almost indifferent. .
    “ All this scares me,” I confessed and closed my eyes, shaking my head.
    “Neptune is our planet . There’s no danger for us there. And if you stay here… they’ll try to kill you,” he said, afflicted.
    “ I can’t leave my mother,” I said, looking down at the floor.
    “ It will be just for a while,” he insisted.
    “She needs me,” I insisted.
    “ Your father needs you too.”
    “ Why didn’t he come to see me instead of ordering you?” I asked, and saw his face which was very serious.
    “ When he figured out about you, it was too late. Your father, by being our master, needs to recover his energy and the only way he managed to do that was to be asleep for a long time.”
    “ Can’t he come back to Earth as soon as he wakes up?” I asked.
    “ He wants you by his side… in ‘Neptune,’” he softly said, touching my cheek with his hand. “As long as you’re with him, your mother won’t be aware of anything, she will be sleeping profoundly.”
    “ What will you do to her?” I was frightened.
    I panicked , afraid that something crucial could happen to my mother.
    “ Trust me,” he said in a friendly manner.
    It was impossible not to trust him.
     
    After a few seconds of silence, his supernatural vampire aspect metamorphosed into an owl and it flew away.
     
     
     
    I looked at him, surprised by with his transformation.
    Then I realized that it  was him all the time, the owl that stood almost every night on my window. That was him protecting me.
    Now I could understand why he was fond of owls, reading books about them. I remembered that day in which Douglas tried to burn that owl.
    That was him ; he was there, not
