"to show you how vampires have fun georgie."
clay states before grabbing me by the hand and leading me outside with the rest. he seemed to be in a hurry to show me whatever it is he wanted to. he had a bright giddy smile spread along his face that radiated the happy energy he always had. i must say it was contagious cause i couldn't help the slight smile that started forming on my lips.
he led us out down into the green and wet forest through the trail that passed the backside of his house a little ways down. we walked for what seemed like a minute or 2 before they all abruptly stopped making me bump into him and nick. clay turned right back to me scanning the whole forest in the process. "how does a piggyback ride sound?" he questioned with a smirk on his face.
i scrunched my eyebrows and scanned around to be met with the same bunches of smirks by the same group of vampires i was with before. "what's the catch?" i raise an eyebrow in disbelief. i mean, he had to be planning something, this wasn't exactly 'normal' for him, or anyone for that matter. "don't worry there's no catch. just a run through the forest with you on my back.... sound fun?" he said again. "i'm trusting you this once, don't ruin it." i roll my eyes at him before jumping on his back like he requested. "hold tight little monkey." he jokes before gripping back onto me and giving me a reassuring smile.
i was about to return it but before i knew it, the walls were blurry and the wind nearly knocked me off his back. if i didn't know he was running, I'd assume i was going insane. we were going miles upon miles per second, speeding every way through the forest with the others closely behind, not even breaking a sweat. it was exhilarating but fun, it made my heart thump and my feet tingle in all the good ways. what seemed to be hours of time came to a close when we finally reached the big open field i was at clay with days before. as we slowed a stop he slowly let me down to make sure i was okay after the wild run through the forest. i wobbled a little when i reached the floor, having clay hold onto my hips to keep me steady. after i got my balance he looks around us and says "how do you feel about freeze tag georgie?" "mate for the love of god stop calling him GeOrGiE, might as well call him gogy." tommy says cutting off clay.

he rolled his eyes in response before turning back to george to attempt to finish what he was saying. " if it's against you superhuman runners, count me OUT." george emphasized and smiled. "that's why we have teams gogy. you can ride on clays back since your not as fast, and the rest of us will split it up. count it... even." tommy obnoxiously smiled. "why would he ride his back when he could just be riding his di-" "NICK" karl yelled and covered nicks mouth causing a fit of laughter among the friends. "he's just being honest here, can ya blame him?" alex remarked after karl. "you guys are all annoying. ANYWAYS can we please just start?" clay huffed at the rest. "as you wish pretty boy," george complied and jumped on his back getting adjusted.
"wait who's it?" toby questioned and looked around. "you dumbass." wilbur snickered and started running leaving the rest behind. "HEY THATS NOT FAIR!" he yelled around as the rest scattered all through the field waiting for his first move. he looked around in a annoyance before running near wilbur and tommy towards the side portion of the field. all 3 of them bolted away attempting to get away a fair distance. for being pretty short, toby was pretty quick, catching up to wilbur easily and tagging him, quickly turning the other way towards clay and george since tommy was already a ways ahead.
noticing this pretty quickly, clay started bolting towards the trees behind them. he quickly maneuvered in between the sections of trees weaving through the grass and rocks. he eventually caught up with daryll, karl and nick nearly passing by them, getting both karl and daryll tagged, freezing them in place. as toby was still chasing clay and george he noticed them slowly stop running to a complete stop. glancing towards nick as this happened, toby bumped right into george's back stumbling away as he tried to regain his focus. as clays eyes barely moved from ahead, he lowered george as he stared ahead as well.

as i badly held in my giggles clutching clays back from behind, i notice toby tag daryll and nick closely behind us making them wait in their place by the trees. i smile in clays neck making sure he was running quick enough so we didn't get tagged. i turn my eyes back ahead of us to see where we were running to, but noticed clay slow down in the process. confused at what was going on, i look to where clay was supposedly staring, seeing a skinny male that looked to be around my age or younger appear from beyond the field and the fog. he had a short buzz cut and was pale with a defined jawline. in all honesty, he looked intimidating.
as clay was about to set me down, toby slammed right into us making both of us stumble a bit forward. the group around us noticed something was clearly off so they ignored the game and walked over to us. as the man came closer and closer, everyone started heading closer much quicker noticing there was a random stranger approaching. turning around clay looked right at me with fear educed eyes. he looked back before quickly ripping off his hoodie to put it over my head in one swift motion.
i was about to question what was going on but was interrupted by clays hands all over my hair ruffling it every which way possible. I stepped back a little in confusion as he said, "don't talk and keep this on. he's a vampire. stay behind us and don't move." he ordered, shoving me behind him. hlooked nervous so i decided to just obey what he said and keep quiet. I did what was asked and moved behind the group as the man approached clay. "what a lovely group of immortals we have here! i see your playing tag, may i join?"
"i'm sorry- who are you?" nick stared at him in disgust. "my apologies, i'm jack manifold but please call me jack. now about that game?" he raised an eyebrow at nick again. "sorry but we've got enough players." nick scolded before turning back and walking back towards the field and the wind. we all did the same turning to where we were playing tag before. i heard a slight sinister giggle from jack as he walked away before he disappeared into the fog ahead. i didn't think much of it, but it did put me in uneasiness.

when everyone got back, they all decided to put that little mishap with jack behind them and tried not to think of it as they continued on with their game. it got george's mind busy getting chased and laughing with his friends and boyfriend again, i mean surely this day couldn't get ruined...
..right?
