When he felt that he was perfect, he went out. Then he went out to attend party. Then he heard door bell. It must be his best friend, Kapil. Kapil was going to come home to meet him. He was so happy that Kapil was there to help him. Then Kapil came and hugged him. Harish felt as if life's best gift came to him. His best friend was there standing before him.
      Kapil started help Harish to get dress up. It was so nice on every point. He had dressed in best way. He looked so nice in mirror. He was so happy to get things as per his choice and style. Suddenly his birthday started to look so much better. Then suddenly he heard some noise from outside. He started to look out of window. He just couldn't see any thing. Kapil was standing just beside him, He was so sure that he heard something. He knew that it was risky but he just couldn't stay inside. He started running down from stairs whole time Kapil was following him. He began to think just one thing. That he was safe since Kapil was just behind him. Those noise were so loud. He was so scared of them. That loud sound which was near window was really loud. But when they came down,they just didn't find any thing. They both just kept searching on every point for something but they didn't find any thing. It was so strange that garden had many places to hide but they checked them all. Finally when they didn't find any thing, they were about to turn back. They heard Harish's Mom voice. She was calling Harish in different way. She sounded excited but not scared. When they reached there, they saw Mom was carrying a gift. "Harish this is gift on our foot step from your some friend Pradip." "Pradip?? But he is not coming. In fact I have not even invited him since he is shifted to Madurai." "Then how did he send this gift? Any way thank him on phone." "Phone but I don't have number?" "What you don't have number still he have send this gift?!!" Now Harish's Mom was scared. Mom "This is really strange." Kapil "Let's open gift." Mom "No..No you can't open like that." Harish could sense that Kapil was laughing on his Mom. He didn't want to look coward. Harish" Give it to me." Harish was scared but still he just opened his gift. When he opened it, at beginning he just kept opening box after box. He just didn't understand what was inside. Finally he reached to basic box. Inside that box he found one locket which had sign of bat. It was so interesting. One thing was clear. It was not any thing scary. It was just one cool locket which he could easily wore whenever he wanted to. He just took it in hand. He just loved it's touch. He knew that his Mom would object but he decided to keep it. After all Pradip was his friend and it could be his last gift. He loved it so he was going to keep it. But he had just one problem. He didn't got any chain. But then he suddenly remembered that silver chain which his uncle gave him. He just ran in room. He didn't listen to his Mom's protest and just wore it. That locket was just perfect. Then he looked at himself in mirror. He looked just perfect. Kapil gave him approving smile. His Mom protested for some time but then finally she agreed. After all she didn't had any option. She knew that Harish was not going to listen. She had to say yes to him. She didn't want to upset him on birthday and Kapil was encouraging him whole time so in this way that locket entered in Harish's life. His perfect locket that gave him perfect look.
       Harish just loved his style. He wore whole black dress and wore that chain which design of bat. His parents just hated his look. But he just loved it. When his friend came in one by one, they all admired it. Even girls seemed to like it. He just loved that day. He was looking so cool. Then they started playing games. While enjoying those games suddenly one of his friends said "Harish you seemed like you are in love with bats. First you selected project of bats and investigating on them. Now you started wearing locket of bat. I just don't understand why do you like bat so much?" "Because they are so mysterious. They woke up at night and sleep at days. It seemed as if they are mystery." Another friend " Or a criminal." Every one started laughing. It was so funny. They all just enjoyed even discussing bats. Then slowly their subject got interesting. They turned to vampire. Harish was in so much in mood to tell truth that he confessed. Harish "After reading many books about vampire I just want to be vampire." Kapil "So blood is tempting for you." Harish joked "Yes. I want to bite some one on neck and then drink blood. Such a fascinating idea." Every one started laughing. Every thing was getting better and better. They all started discussing horror which Harish loved. For whole time they just kept taking about monster. Every one shared their own horror stories. Harish enjoyed it so much and Kapil was recording it all. Then finally came Kapil's number. Kapil smiled and said "I will tale a story of vampire." Then he started telling story. This story was so interesting. It was just like Harish's life. A boy got a locket with bat but that locket got special power of turning person master of bats. It would make that person so power full then that boy slowly started biting all friends and finally they all became vampire except his best friend who sensed something was missing. His best friend began to observe him. He was keep telling it as if it was something true. It had special effect on them all. They just kept listening to it. Until Harish's Mom didn't enter in room with refreshers. When his Mom came suddenly that all magic vanished, Kapil wanted to continue his story but other people started objecting since they all wanted to dance and sing. They began to enjoy that dancing at every step. They started dancing and enjoying. But Harish was so unhappy from heart since he noticed that Kapil was hurt. Harish went near him and told him "Kapil you can tell me that story." Kapil was not that happy. "It was for them all not for you." Harish was confused after hearing this but still he nodded. Harish went to dance with friends. But Kapil just kept sitting quietly in corner with his book. It was common habit of Kapil when he was upset.He just started to reading some book. Even Harish loved books. But he never brought them with him in party.It was so wrong. When he was in some party, he had to enjoy or at least he should pretend that he was enjoying. But he did all wrong. Kapil didn't even enjoy his best friend's birthday. It was all so wrong. Harish decided just to ignore him and kept enjoying his party. After all it was his birthday. Even if Kapil didn't care about it, Harish knew that his parents cared.
        Harish enjoyed that day from heart. He just kept dancing for night. He just kept doing it without stopping for minute. It was so nice. But next morning he felt so tired. Even sunlight began to hurt his eyes. He just wanted to sleep in his bed. He just didn't want to move. His legs were paining so much. He just decided that he would skip school. But he knew that it was his 10th standard so it was not going to be easy. He had to take all notes. He just decided that he would call Kapil. But then he remembered Kapil's behavior. He decided against calling but then he suddenly hear that his mobile was ringing. He took it. Kapil spoke "How are you Harish? You must be tired. You can skip school. I give you my notes." Harish was now on top of world. He felt that Kapil must had feeling of guilt for his misbehavior. Harish " I am so sick. I just like to relax." "Fine ..Fine.. Just go to sleep." Then Harish was about to end the call. When Kapil asked " Does sunlight hurt your eyes? " Harish " Yes.."" Ohh.. You must be tired go to sleep. " Then that call was ended. Harish relaxed on that whole day. But at evening he decided that he must go out. Actually his Mom insisted. He went out with cycle in park. But then he decided that he would go to Kapil's house and collect notes for himself. He kept cycling. It took him long time to reach to that house. Evening during that evening he kept feeling heat from inside. Weather was so harsh on every point. He just kept feeling tired and thirsty. When he reached in Kapil's home, he was already sweating. So he had to clean his face twice with his towel. Then he looked at watch. He was late. He knew that Kapil must had gone to tuition. But he decided that he would go back. Then he felt so tired that he decided that he just waited in his house. He rang door bell. Kapil's Mom opened door and she welcomed him inside house with smile. Kapil's Mom told him to sit down on sofa. Then she asked him if he wanted something. He asked for water. She first gave his water then she gave him cool juice. It was so perfect that he just loved it's taste. He was drinking it peacefully, when suddenly Kapil came inside.  Kapil was so shocked to see him. He could clearly see fear in Kapil's eyes. He just didn't understood it's reason. Kapil "How did you come inside? " "Your Mom invited me. Why did you look so much upset?" "Mom shouldn't have done that." "What?" "Why are you here?" "To get notes." Suddenly Kapil started laughing. Kapil "I know. I know." Harish just felt something was strange in Kapil. Harish "What happened Kapil?" Then suddenly Kapil's Mom came there."Kapil!!What are you doing here?" Harish was so confused. Kapil "Nothing Mom. I just missed bus." "How did you miss it? You went ahead for an hour." "Mom Traffic!!" Harish "You are going somewhere? " "Yes, I am going to my grand mother. " "Wow great." Kapil "But now I have changed by plan." "Ohh!!""I was also sick yesterday. So I can't able to get notes." Harish was so upset but he was nodding. He was so tense. But he could clearly see something was wrong in Kapil. He didn't want to interfere in their family matters. He just said bye and went away.
       Next day Harish went to college. Every one was acting normal. He started asking to many friends for notes. But no one was ready to give them since most of his friends were absent since they all came to his party. It was so upsetting. Finally bell rang and he sat on bench. He began to study. Teacher was explaining her chapter. When suddenly Kapil came inside, there was wooden stick in his hand. It was so pointed that any one could guess that he wanted to kill some one. He had one book on another. Whole classroom started screaming, every one started to try to run out of classroom. Harish could see that many of his friends were getting injured in this. He was scared but he decided that he could reason with his friend. Since he saw clearly that his teacher was just helpless. Her whole body was shaking due to fear. He sensed that she could never able to say a word. Harish "Kapil relax. What happen why are you so angry?" "You dirty vampire. I am going to kill you." Harish was so shocked. Then suddenly his another friend screamed "Harish ran. He wanted to kill you with that wood. He is mad. He is claiming that you are vampire." Harish "He can't..." Then Harish just went away from that wood. But still it managed to cut his shoulder. Harish screamed in pain. "Die..Die .. You .. a evil.. vampire." Harish suddenly remembered sunlight. Harish decided to play along. Harish "Kapil I am not vampire. Can't you see I am standing in sunlight now? " Harish went in sunlight. Kapil looked at him carefully. Kapil "So you are cured. You are not burning." Harish was relaxed now. Suddenly Kapil began to come towards him. But their school security hold him tight. Harish just ran away. Harish was so exhausted and in pain. He just fainted in corridor. Then his many months went in just hospital. He just kept taking medicines and following doctor's advice. Many months of his tenth standard just wasted in house. He just suffered so much backlog in studies that he was so depressed. He just quit eating. He just kept looking at ceiling. Finally his parents decided to take him to psychiatrist. When he went there, he sat in corner. When he noticed, Kapil was sitting in corner. Kapil was looking in strange way towards window. Then Kapil suddenly began to scream "Bat.. Bat.." Then he came running towards Harish. Harish was about to run away. But then suddenly Kapil screamed "Give back my locket. I will give it to another vampire. Give it to me." Harish was so shocked and confused so that locket was gift of Kapil. Harish didn't had it there. But before he could answer nurse forcibly took Kapil away and apologized to Harish and his parents. Harish was still in shock when he went inside. He first asked psychiatrist about Kapil. At beginning psychiatrist denied to give information but when Harish's Mom explained every thing. He told that "Kapil was suffering from Schizophrenia. He just had his one imagination regarding vampire. He kept seeing them." "But until now I never realised." "Since it was not visible. Such things happened that at beginning patient is totally normal then it all goes in wrong way." "But will he become fine?" Psychiatrist nodded head negatively."In some cases we have hope but in this case we don't." Harish started crying but somewhere in his heart he knew that he would never dare to make friendship with Kapil again. Harish "Doctor he wanted one locket of bat.." "Don't give to him. He will start once again attacking just keep it in your house." Harish nodded. His Mom "But if we don't he would attack on Harish." "Tell him that it vanish when you spread some salt on it." Mom "But .." Harish "Enough Mom. I can do that much for Kapil. After all he was my friend." Harish knew that their friendship would become just past now. But he knew that he would miss Kapil. Then Harish once again returned back to his problems and started discussing them with psychiatrist.
