अलेक्जेंडर और मैं पिछवाड़े में एक झूले पर साथ बैठे थे। हल्के-फुल्के झूलते हुए अलेक्जेंडर ने कहा, "यह किसी सपने के सच होने जैसा है।" "आखिरकार अब हम सिर्फ एक-दूसरे पर ध्यान दे सकते हैं। 'लड़का लड़की से मिला, लड़की को लड़के से प्यार हुआ, और लड़का पिशाच निकला' वाली पारंपरिक कहानी को आगे बढ़ा सकते हैं।"

Alexander and I sat together on a backyard swing. "This is like a dream come true," Alexander said as we gently swung back and forth. "We can finally just focus on us now. Continue the traditional 'Boy meets girl, girl falls for boy, boy turns out to be a vampire' story.

आंटी लिबी: "मुझे लगता है मैं शादी करने जा रही हूँ! मैं तुम्हें यह बताने के लिए बेताब थी।" रेवेन: "सच में? बधाई हो! डैड ने तो ऐसा कुछ नहीं बताया..." आंटी लिबी: "खैर, ठीक है, अभी यह पक्का वग़ैरह नहीं हुआ है। बल्कि सच कहूँ तो अभी तक हमारी आधिकारिक तौर पर डेटिंग भी शुरू नहीं हुई है। मैं कल रात ही तो उससे मिली हूँ।"

Aunt Libby: "I think I'm getting married! I've been dying to tell you." Raven: "You are? Congrats! Dad didn't mention..." Aunt Libby: "Well, okay, it's not official or anything. In fact, we haven't officially gone out yet. I just met him last night.

लेकिन जैसे-जैसे हम अपने भविष्य की ओर देख रहे हैं, मुझे नहीं लगता कि यह मायने रखता है कि हम क्या बनना चाहते हैं, बल्कि यह ज़्यादा मायने रखता है कि हम कैसे इंसान बनना चाहते हैं। कोई ईमानदार या धोखेबाज़? कोई दयालु या क्रूर? कोई वफादार या बेवफा? हम किसी भी पेशे में हों, इनमें से कुछ भी चुन सकते हैं। मुझे लगता है कि यह असाइनमेंट सिर्फ इस बारे में नहीं है कि हम क्या करना चुनते हैं, बल्कि इस बारे में है कि हम क्या बनना चुनते हैं। मैं हमेशा खुद के प्रति वफादार रहना चुनती हूँ। - रेवेन मैडिसन

But as we are looking toward our future, I'm not sure it matters what we want to be but rather who we want to be. Someone honest or deceitful?Someone kind or cruel?Someone loyal or unfaithful? In any profession we can elect to be any of those things. I think this assignment is not only about what we choose to do but about who we choose to be. I choose to always be loyal to myself. -Raven Madison

स्कूल फोन करके कह दो कि मुझे इश्क़ की बीमारी हो गई है।

Call school, tell them I'm lovesick.

Call school, tell them I'm lovesick.

प्रतिबद्धता। बात बस इतनी सी है। उस पवित्र रिश्ते को एक साथ निभाना। पूरी कायनात के लिए एक-दूसरे से बंध जाना। क्या हम सब यही सब की तलाश में नहीं हैं? शायद अलेक्जेंडर मेरे साथ वह कदम उठाने के लिए तैयार नहीं था, लेकिन यह साफ है कि वह तुम्हारे साथ भी इसके लिए तैयार नहीं है।

Commitment. That's what it's all about. Taking that convenant together. Bonding yourselves for all eternity. Isn't that what we are all looking for? Maybe Alexander wasn't ready to do that with me, but it's obvious he isn't ready to do that with you, either.

मैंने तेवर दिखाते हुए कहा, "सिर्फ कामदेव के पास ही तीर नहीं होता।"

Cupid's not the only one with an arrow," I scowled

मेरे पीछे से किसी जाने-पहचाने मर्द की आवाज़ आई, "क्या मैंने सुना कि आज किसी का जन्मदिन है?" मैंने मुड़ने की जहमत तक नहीं उठाई और चलती रही, लेकिन इससे मेरे जानी-दुश्मन को मुझे परेशान करने से नहीं रोका जा सकता था। वह कूदकर मेरे आगे आ गया और मेरा रास्ता रोक लिया। उसने चाशनी में डूबी आवाज़ में पूछा, "पूरा एक साल हो गया है, है ना?" "शायद इस जन्मदिन पर मैं तुम्हें आखिरकार वह दे दूँ जो तुम हमेशा से चाहती थीं।"

Did I hear it's going to be someone's birthday?" a familiar male's voice said from behind me. I didnt even bother turning around and continued walking, but that didn't stop my nemesis from disturbing me. He jumped in front of me, blocking my way. "It's been a whole year, has it?" he asked in a syrupy tone. "Maybe this birthday I'll finally give you what you've always wanted.

फोन की हर घंटी के साथ मेरा दिल उछल पड़ता था। क्या वह अलेक्जेंडर था? और जब वह नहीं होता था, तो मेरा दिल टूटकर लाखों टुकड़ों में बिखर जाता था। अपने गोथिक प्रेमी से मिले हुए मुझे दो लंबे दिन बीत चुके थे। मैं अलेक्जेंडर के ख्यालों में इतनी डूबी रहती थी, बस अगली बार मिलने के सपने देखती रहती थी, कि बाकी कुछ मायने ही नहीं रखता था। मैंने उस जगह को धोया तक नहीं जहाँ उसके कोमल होठों ने मेरी त्वचा को छुआ था। मैं ऐसे बर्ताव कर रही थी जैसे मानो किसी पुरानी टीनएज फिल्म से सीधे निकलकर आई हूँ! मुझे यह क्या हो गया था? मैं अपना रुतबा खो रही थी! ज़िंदगी में पहली बार मुझे सचमुच डर लग रहा था—उसे फिर कभी न देख पाने का डर और ठुकराए जाने का डर।

Every time the phone rang, my heart jumped. Was it Alexander? And when it wasn't him my heart would break into a million pieces. It had been two longs days since I had seen my Gothic mate. I was so preoccupied with Alexander, dreaming of the next time we'd be together, nothing else mattered. I didn't wash the spot where his tender love lips had pressed against my flesh. I was acting like I was straight out of a Gidget movie! What had happened to me? I was losing my edge! For the first time in my life I was really afraid. Afraid of never seeing him again and afraid of being rejected.

वह इतने खोए-खोए से, गहरे जज्बात से भरे हुए और अकेले लग रहे थे। मैं चाहती थी कि वह अभी मुझे चूम लें। मैं उन्हें यह जताना चाहती थी कि मैं हमेशा-हमेशा के लिए उन्हीं की हूँ।

He looked so lost, so soulful, so lonely. I wanted him to kiss me now. I wanted to let him know I was his for all eternity.

मुझे इंसानों पर हमेशा दया आती थी, जो घंटों शीशे के सामने बिता देते हैं। अपने बाल, मेकअप और कपड़े ठीक करने में, जो ज़्यादातर दूसरों को प्रभावित करने के लिए होता था। क्या वे वाकई शीशे में खुद को देख पाते थे? क्या वे वही देखना चाहते थे जो वे देख रहे थे? क्या इससे उन्हें अच्छा या बुरा महसूस होता था? और सबसे बढ़कर मैं यह सोचती थी कि क्या वे अपनी छवि अपनी परछाई के आधार पर ही तय करते हैं।

I always felt sorry for humans, spending so much time in front of the mirror. Fixing their hair, makeup, and clothes, mostly to impress others. Did they really see themselves in the mirror? Was it what they wanted to see? Did it make them feel good or bad? And mostly I wondered if they based their self-image on their reflected one.

मैं हमेशा किरदारों को कहानियों को आगे बढ़ाने देती हूँ। वे खुद मुझे बताते हैं कि वे क्या कहना चाहते हैं और क्या करना चाहते हैं।

उसने गर्व से कहा, "मुझे यकीन है कि तुम्हारे दो दोस्तों को मेरे लिए इस तरह दीवाने देखकर तुम्हारा दिल टूट जाता होगा," "लूना... और अब स्कारलेट। वे मुझ से दूर रह ही नहीं पाते।" "यह सिर्फ इसलिए है क्योंकि तुम उनके लिए किसी अजूबे की तरह हो। यह ऐसा है जैसे वे किसी चिड़ियाघर में जाकर बंदरों को घूर रहे हों। और बंदर तुम हो।"

I bet it breaks your heart to have two of your friends pine for me the way they do," he said proudly. "Luna...and now Scarlet. They can't keep their hands off of me." "It's just because you are foreign to them. It's like if they went to the zoo and stared at the monkeys. You are the monkey.

पिशाचों के प्रति मेरी जुनूनी दुनिया में मैंने पहली बार किसी पिशाच को असल में काटते हुए देखा था। इकलौता पेंच यह था कि वह मेरी गर्दन नहीं थी जिस पर काटा जा रहा था।

I'd witnessed for the first time in my vampire- obsessed existence an actual vampire bite. The only problem was that it wasn't my neck being bitten.

"अगर तुम वाकई चाहते हो कि मैं सुरक्षित रहूँ, तो शायद अब यह सही वक्त है।" "मुझे तब ज़्यादा सुरक्षा महसूस होगी जब तुम ताबूत में सोना शुरू कर दोगी।" तभी मेरा दरवाज़ा चीखते हुए खुला। बिली का चेहरा हैरानी से भर गया। बिस्तर से कूदते हुए मैंने कहा, "बाहर जाओ!" "अरे... हम किसी गाने के बोल बना रहे हैं।" लेकिन इससे बिली बाहर नहीं गया। बल्कि वह इसमें पूरी तरह दिलचस्पी ले रहा था। "तुम गाना लिख रही हो? यह तो बहुत बढ़िया है। मैं सुनना चाहता हूँ।" "यह कुछ इस तरह है, 'ताबूत के अंदर ज़्यादा सुरक्षित हैं, और अगर तुम्हारा भाई यहाँ से नहीं गया, तो वह भी किसी ताबूत के अंदर ही होगा।'"

If you really want me to be safe, maybe it's time." "I'd just feel safer if you'd start sleeping in a coffin." Just then my door creaked open. Billy's expression turned to surprise. "Get out!" I said, hopping off the bed. "Uh...we are making up lyrics to a song." But that didn't keep Billy out. Instead he was totally interested. "You're writing a song? That's so cool. I want to hear it." "It goes, 'Safer in a coffin, and if your brother doesn't leave, he'll be in one too.

मुझे अब और बर्दाश्त नहीं है कि दूसरे लड़के तुम्हें अपनी तरफ खींचने की कोशिश करें, रेवेन। यहाँ सिर्फ एक ही पिशाच है जो ऐसा करेगा," उसने पूरे आत्मविश्वास से कहा। "वो, जिसके लिए तुम शुरू से बनी हो—यानी मैं।

मैं अभी तुमसे निपटा नहीं हूँ। क्या तुम अपनी सज़ा भुगतने के लिए तैयार हो?" मैंने अनिच्छा से सिर हिलाया। मुझे समझ नहीं आ रहा था कि पिशाच की सज़ा कैसी होती है। लेकिन मैं जानने के लिए बेताब थी। "मैं तुम्हें एक हज़ार चुंबनों की सज़ा देता हूँ," उसने कहा। "क्या मैं अब शुरुआत कर सकता हूँ?

I'm not through with you yet. Are you prepared to accept your punishment?" I nodded reluctantly. I wasn't sure what a vampire's punishment might be. But I was ready to find out. "I sentence you to a thousand kisses," he said. "Can I begin now?

बात खुद को बदलने की नहीं, बल्कि साथ मिलकर आगे बढ़ने की है," उसने अपनी समझदारी भरी आवाज़ में कहा। "मैं तुम्हें बस यह जताना चाहता था—कि मैं तुम्हारे साथ हूँ। हमेशा के लिए। फिर चाहे बीच में सूरज आए, स्कूल या फिर यह काली रात, हमें कोई जुदा नहीं कर सकता। अब मैं तुमसे बस एक क्लिक की दूरी पर हूँ।" ~एलेक्जेंडर

It's not about changing--it's about growing, together," he said, like the wise soul that he was. "I wanted to let you know--that I am with you. Always. Forever. We don't have to be separated by the sun, school, or even the night. Now I'm just a click away." ~Alexander

यह सबसे खूबसूरत चीज़ थी जो मैंने कभी देखी थी। कलाकार ने कितनी खूबसूरती से रोशनी को उकेरा था, मेरी माँ के गालों के डिम्पल, मेरे पिता की आँखों की खुशी—सब कुछ अपने ब्रश के हल्केहल्के स्ट्रोक्स से जीवंत कर दिया था। उस कलाकार ने मुझे तब जीवंत महसूस कराया जब मैं अंदर से बेहद अकेली और उदास थी। उस शख्स ने मुझे इसी नजरिए से देखा था। मैंने तभी तय कर लिया था कि मैं भी यही करूँगी।

It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. How the artist captured the light, the details of my mother's dimples, the joy in my father's eyes, all through gentle strokes from his palette. The artist made me look alive when I felt lonely and grim inside. That's the way this man saw me. I decided then that that's what I wanted to do

रेवेन: "क्या तुम्हारा इस पर ध्यान नहीं गया?" एलेक्जेंडर: "किस पर?" रेवेन: "लड़कियों पर?" एलेक्जेंडर: "कौन सी लड़कियाँ?" रेवेन: "अरे भाई! तुम तो मुझे यहाँ किसी बार में लाने से डर रहे थे, जबकि मुझे डरना चाहिए था कि मैं तुम्हें यहाँ लेकर आई हूँ।" एलेक्जेंडर: "मुझे समझ नहीं आ रहा तुम क्या कह रही हो।" रेवेन: "ये लड़कियाँ तुम पर मरी जा रही हैं!" एलेक्जेंडर: "अच्छा, पर मैं तो सिर्फ एक ही लड़की के साथ रहना चाहता हूँ और वो यहीं मेरे सामने है।"

Raven: "Don't you notice that?" Alexander: "Notice what?" Raven: "The girls?" Alexander: "What girls?" Raven: "Hello! You were worried about bringing me to a bar when all along I should have been concerned about bringing you." Alexander: "I don't know what you are talking about." Raven: "The girls are drooling all over you!" Alexander: "Well, there is only one girl I want to be with and she's right here.

तो उस चाबी का क्या?" मैंने पूछा। "मुझे पता था कि तुम मुझसे इसके बारे में आज नहीं तो कल जरूर पूछोगी।" उसने अपनी शर्ट के अंदर से डोरी निकाली और चाबी मेरे सामने हवा में झुला दी। "इसके बदले तुम्हें क्या चाहिए?" मैंने तंज कसते हुए पूछा। "पाँच डॉलर?" "मुझे पैसे नहीं चाहिए," उसने एक शातिर मुस्कान के साथ कहा। "यह चाबी किस ताले की है?" "एक चुंबन इस चाबी से कहीं ज्यादा ताले खोल देगा," उसने मेरे कान में फुसफुसा कर कहा।

So what about that key?" I asked. "I knew you'd be asking me about it sooner or later." He pulled the cord out from underneath his shirt and dangled the key in front of me. "What do you want for it?" I sneered. "Five dollars?" "I don't want money," he said with a wicked grin. "What does it go to?" "A kiss will unlock more than this key will," he whispered in my ear.

मेरी माँ मेरी लिपस्टिक और काले कपड़ों के बारे में यही तो नहीं समझ पाती हैं। मैं लोगों को डराने के लिए टैटू नहीं बनवाती; मैं उन्हें इसलिए पहनती हूँ क्योंकि मुझे ऐसा करना अच्छा लगता है। यह मेरी असलियत है।

That's what my mother doesn't understand about my lipstick and dark clothes. I don't wear tattoos to freak her out; I wear them because I have to. It's me.

शिकार से मेरा पेट नहीं भर रहा। मैं तो बस बहते हुए खून के लिए तरस रही हूँ। मेरे महबूब के शरीर पर टपकते और थिरकते हुए उस लाल, रसदार तरल का मीठा स्वाद और उसके साथ उसके पसीने का नमकीन अहसास। यह जानना कि कोई मेरे लिए उतना ही बेकरार है जितना मैं उसके लिए भूखी हूँ और हम एक-दूसरे की भूख अनंत काल तक शांत कर सकते हैं। मैं चाहती हूँ कि कोई मेरी इस भूख को हमेशा-हमेशा के लिए तृप्त कर दे।

The hunt isn't sustaining me. It's flowing blood that I really crave. The sweet taste of red succulent liquid mixing with the salt of my beloved as it drips and dances on his flesh. To know that someone will ache for me as much as I hunger for him and eternally satiate each other. I want someone to satisfy my hunger forever.

तो फिर एक चुंबन क्यों नहीं?" उसने एक कामुक मुस्कान के साथ कहा। "मुझे याद रखने के लिए कोई निशानी?"..."मैं तुम्हें एक ऐसी निशानी दूँगी जिसे तुम हमेशा याद रखोगे," मैंने कहा। "मेरे सिर का पिछला हिस्सा।" मैंने उसे परे धकेला और दरवाजे से बाहर निकलकर आज़ादी की तरफ भाग निकली।

Then how about one kiss?” he said with a sexy grin. “Something to remember me by?” ...“I’ll give you something to remember me by,” I said. “The back of my head.” I pushed past him and escaped through the door to freedom.

ट्रेवर में पिशाच न होने के बावजूद पिशाच जैसे कई गुण थे। वह लगातार मेरा शोषण करता था, बेहद करिश्माई था, और मेरी ज़िंदगी का रस चूसने की कोशिश करता था।

Trevor possessed many of the qualities of a vampire without actually being one. He constantly preyed on me, was deeply charismatic, and tried to suck the life out of me.

ट्रेवर जितना खूबसूरत था, उतना ही खतरनाक भी था। अगर वह पिशाच होता, तो वह अंधेरे साए वाला पिशाच होता—जो मासूम लड़कियों के पीछे छुपकर आता और बिना सोचे-समझे उनकी गर्दन दबोच लेता।

Trevor was as menacing as he was gorgeous. If he were a vampire, he'd be the dark kind, the kind that sneaks up on innocent girls and bites without a thought.

'जब तुम छोटे थे, तब किस चीज़ ने तुम्हें ऐसा महसूस करने के लिए प्रेरित किया था?' फिर वह रुका और बोला, 'क्या आईने में खुद को देखकर उसके दो टुकड़े हो जाना?' उसकी धुलाई करने के बजाए, मैं हँस पड़ी—वैसी हँसी जो मुँह से निकलने से पहले ही बेकाबू हो जाती है। हल्की सी फुसफुसाहट वाली हँसी जो थोड़ा सा अपनापन दिखाती है। ट्रेवर को बिल्कुल उम्मीद नहीं थी कि मेरी उसकी बात पर हँसी छूट जाएगी। वह तो मुझसे लड़ने के लिए पूरी तरह तैयार बैठा था। हम दोनों ज़ोर से हँस पड़े और हमारी नज़रें मिल गईं। उसकी नज़रें मुझ पर कुछ ज़्यादा ही देर तक टिकी रहीं, किसी अजीब तरीके से नहीं, बल्कि उस नज़र से जो कहती है कि मैं इस पल को अभी जाने नहीं देना चाहता।

'When you were little, what inspired you to feel this way?'" Then he paused and asked, "Looking in the mirror and having it crack in two?" Instead of clobbering him, I laughed-the kind of laugh that escapes into the air before you can catch it. The kind of chuckle that shows a tiny form of acceptance. Trevor obviously didn't expect me to find his remark entertaining. He was primed for a fight. We both cracked up and locked eyes. His gaze lingered a little too long, not in a creepy way, but in a way that says I'm not ready to let this moment go.

تم اتनी جلدي میں کہاں جا رہے ہو؟" اس کی خوبصورت سبز آنکھوں نے مجھے گھورا۔ "کسی لاشوں کے کنونشن میں؟" پسینے میں شرابور ہونے کے باوجود ٹریور بلا کا خوبصورت لگ رہا تھا۔ "تم کس چیز سے بھاگ رہے ہو؟" میں نے طنزیہ کہا۔ "اپنے آئینے سے؟"

Where are you off to in such a hurry?” His stunning green eyes bore through me. “A corpse convention?” Even sweaty, Trevor was gorgeous. “What are you running away from?” I retorted. “Your mirror?

بارش میں چھتری کی کس کو ضرورت ہے؟" اس نے کہا اور کار میں بیٹھ گئی۔

Who needs an umbrella in the rain?" she said, and stepped into the car.

تم بالکل ٹھیک کہتی ہو۔ ہم اندرونی خوبصورتی پر توجہ دینے کے بجائے اپنے ظاہر کو سنوارنے پر ہی اتنا وقت ضائع کر دیتے ہیں۔ - ریون آرٹسٹ میں یہ طاقت ہوتی ہے کہ وہ اس لمحے کو قید کر لے، اور اپنے موضوع کے بارے میں اپنے خیالات کا اظہار کرے۔ مجھے لگتا تھا کہ یہ اپنے آپ کو کسی سرد اور بے جان شیشے کے عکس میں دیکھنے سے کہیں زیادہ خوبصورت اور رومانوی ہے۔ - الیگزینڈر

Your right. We do spend a lot of time worrying about our looks, instead of focusing on what's inside. - Raven The artist has the power to capture that. To express what he thinks about the subject. I thought that was much more romantic then seeing myself in a cold, stark glass reflection. - Alexander

تم بالکل میرے جیسی لگتی ہو،" اس نے کہا۔ "تم مجھے ایسے نہیں گھور رہی جیسے میں کوئی عجوبہ ہوں۔" "جو بھی ایسا کرے گا، میں اس کی درگت بنا دوں گی۔" "مجھے لگتا ہے کہ تم پہلے ہی ایسا کر چکی ہو۔ یا کم از کم اسے ٹینس ریکیٹ سے تو مار ہی چکی ہو۔" - الیگزینڈر اور ریون، ویمپائر کِس، صفحہ 127، آغاز

You seem a lot like me," he said. "You don't gawk at me like I'm a freak." "I'll kick anyone who does." "I think you already did. Or at least smacked him with a tennis racket." -Alexander and Raven, Vampire Kisses, Pg.127, The Beginning

تم نے اسکول کی اپنی ساری طبی چھٹیاں ختم کر دی ہیں،" اس نے میری فائل دیکھتے ہوئے کہا۔ "اب تک اسکول کے ایک سو چالیس دنوں میں سے تم نے ایک سو تیس دن چھٹی کی درخواست دی ہے۔ تو کیا اکتیس وہ جادوئی عدد ہو سکتا ہے؟" پرنسپل ریڈ اور ریون

You've used up all your school sick days," he said, persuing my file. "You've requested to leave school one hundred and thirty days out of the one hudred and forty days of school so far." So thirty-one might be the magic number?" Principal Reed and Raven
