EPISODE TWO{THE MOVIE}

GREG'S POV
I looked at Jane and i could see fear in her eyes as her bag dropped to the ground. "what was that sound?" Dianne asked, turning to look behind her as she disengaged from the hug. "Best, are you okay?" She asked confused.
"Dianne..... I thought I....." Jane stuttered, trying to find her words as she looked at me strangely and then at Dianne.
"Here" I said, handing over her bag to her. "Are you sure you're okay?" I asked.
"Yes, I'm fine. Sorry about that, my mind travelled elsewhere". Jane replied in an uneasy tone.
"Jane" Dianne called softly, looking like she wasn't really satisfied with Jane's answer.
"I have to check if things are in perfect order for the party" I announced.
" Oh" Dianne exclaimed, turning to me. "i can help out, is there anything I can do to assist?" Dianne offered.
"Not  really..... Uhm I think it's better to stay with Jane to make sure she's okay" I replied and Dianne turned to look at her, trying to ascertain if she's really okay.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. I just need a little rest" Jane countered.
"Greg, please go ahead. I'll join you in a minute" Dianne said with a smile which I returned as I excused the ladies, heading to the scheduled hall for the party. "What did she really see that made her that frightened?" I thought within myself.

JANE'S POV
"C'mon, I'm fine Best" I said again, assuring Dianne.
" You've been acting queer lately. You're getting me worried" Dianne complained looking concerned and I gave her an apologetic look. "you should take a nap then, you'll join us later, right?" she asked.
" Umm.... I'll just show up for a couple of minutes, Damien is coming to pick me up this evening" I replied and she gave me a funny look.
" it's just a friendly outing so don't give me that look" I said antagonizing whatever idea she was cooking up in her head.
" whatever, I didn't say anything, thank you for helping me pick my outfit. Gregory likes it" she said giggling. "Thanks Best" she said hugging me.
"Don't mention. I'll see you in a bit" I said, patting her back. " run along now Press Dianne, don't keep your prince charming waiting" I said as we both laughed as she made her way to the hall.
What was I really thinking earlier? i can't believe I imagined Greg as the vampire i saw on the movie ticket. What could l have told Dianne? 'Hi Best, I think the guy you like is a vampire'? I thought as laughed wryly at my own foolishness.
"But was i really imagining things when I saw Greg's eyes turn red?" I thought, placing my hands akimbo. I think it's because I've been talking about vampires all day. Dianne is really happy being around Greg and I don't want my weird thinking ruining that.
I laid back on the couch, dropping my bag on the glass center table and let my mind flash back to Leo. Leo was my ex fiance and I've known him for as long as I can remember. Our relationship was so strong that I thought i wouldn't survive the shock when Leo called of the wedding on our wedding day in front of everyone and till now, I don't still understand how things turned out that way.
"Oh Jesus!" I muttered as I crossed my right arm over my face, trying to solve past equations as i allowed nature take its course and drifted off to wonderland.

WRITER'S POV
Jane entered Damien's car
"I hope I'm not late" Jane said, adjusting the seatbelt.
"Not at all" Damien replied smiling as he starts the engine.

DAMIEN'S POV
I'm so glad Jane could come with me to see this movie. Jane is a nice lady and I appreciate the fact that she's still strong despite what she's been through.
"I'm happy you're here after many rescheduling" I said and she smiled.
" I'm sorry Damien, it's not like I didn't want to. I'm eager to know what will happen in this movie" she said excitedly.
"Same here" i said looking towards the stage as i sighted some actors in costumes.
"What's going on?" Jane asked and I beckoned to one of the officials.
"Okay" I said after the official whispered to my ear and I turned back to look at Jane whose curious eyes had been fixed on me the whole time i conversed with the man. "He said there'll be a short play before the movie will begin" I said to her as she nodded with satisfaction. "Isn't that Dianne?" I said, noticing her walk in with a guy.

JANE'S POV
"Isn't that Dianne?" Damien said as i looked towards the said direction.
"Dianne, Greg" I called softly and they came over to where we were. "I thought you guys would be at the party" I said, almost in shock.
" Yes Best, change of plans" Dianne said smilingly waving to Damien.
"Dianne's colleague called and told her about this vampire movie that was airing tonight and I thought it wouldn't be bad to be amongst the first to watch the premiere" Greg added as I shook my head in amusement.
"The drama is about starting, later Best" Dianne said holding Greg's hand as they moved over to the other side.
"Wow, it wasn't a bad idea being among the first after all" I said smiling.
The stage drama soon began and it was vampire based. The female lead was a vampire and she sucks the blood of men lured by her beauty. I was enjoying the play although it was really scary that even at some point I had to cling to Damien. My eyes drifted to an area behind the curtains where i could see a shadow of two figures. I could see the movement of the shadows and it was one sucking the blood of the other, just like what was being acted on the stage.
"Could this be part of the drama too or was i just seeing things?" I thought. I looked at Damien and he's gaze was fixed on the play. I looked towards Greg and Dianne and it was the same. "Am I the only one seeing this?" I asked within myself. Fear gripped me when I saw the other figure whose blood was being sucked drop to the floor and the attacker raising his head in victory and satisfaction. This wasn't looking like my imagination anymore.
"Da......" I was about to call Damien when the lights suddenly went off as i turned to him. Everywhere was pitch black and i couldn't see a thing. The lights came back on the stage and there was a guy standing in the midst of the people i supposed to be the actors acting earlier. They all seemed to have been bitten and were lying dead.
"Jesus!!!" My inner being screamed with fright as the guy turned out to be Greg. He raised his head slowly, his eyes burning red and his mouth dripping with blood. He opened his mouth, revealing his fangs.
"So I wasn't daydreaming after all" I muttered quaking as reality dawned on me.
