Mason didn't bother me at all the rest of the class. When the bell rang, he did go out Mason style- already being packed up and leaving swiftly. I met my friends outside.

"Hey! So are we all ready for the sleepover?" In civics, Willow talked about having a sleepover.

"Ya, we will be going to your house. We will pick up all your stuff and bring it to Hera's and Cara's house while you cook dinner. Set it up for your dad and make it look like you have already been in your room. Cook something that can stay the same temperature after a while, like salad." Willow said. Wow, she had this all figured out.

"Ok sergeant Willow!" I replied jokingly. Everybody had a laugh and we started with the plan.

When in my house, I went to my room and grabbed some pajamas and an extra set of clothes. I then started making my favorite salad. It had spinach leaves, pineapple, praline pecans, feta cheese, and this tangerine honey sauce form Panera. We finished with this plan in about 25-30 minutes. We then drove off to the Lamborn's house. (Lamborn is Hera's/Cara's last name).

The drive was fun. We had a singing competition, and Hera won. How is it humanly possible to sing as good as her? There was also a beginning to a forest on the way. It could be really relaxing to walk along the outskirt of the forest, I'd just have to watch out, and that's not that hard. A few miles after the forest, we saw her neighborhood and arrived at her house.

We started by having some dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Lamborn were out so we all cooked dinner. We tried to make cake. Notice the word tried. The cake ended up being burned, and the kitchen looked like a huge flour war had happened. But that flour war was so fun though. It was Cara and Gabe against me and Willow. Hera was the 'referee'. Me and Willow won.

After cleaning that up, we played a few games and watched movies. Then after about 3 movies, some people wanted to sleep so we had a competition between those who wanted to stay up, which was Hera, Gabe, and I. We were going to watch horror movies and would keep watching until everyone chickened out. We started with house at the end of the street. It wasn't that bad and we were all still in. Then we watched Chuckie. Hera has seen it multiple times and still chickened out. Gabe had a really girly scream, but he didn't chicken out. I was still in control of myself though, not even one scream. Then we watched Poltergeist. I laughed so much at Gabe, I would be surprised if I didn't have a six-pack. He had to stop watching the movie really early on and I had to turn on all the house lights before he could leave the room. It was ridiculous. I thought a little girl was next to me! He went to sleep and I finished watching the movie. It was pretty cool. I saw it was 3:00 and decided it would be best to sleep. I did have school tomorrow anyway. Man, I wish today was Friday instead of Monday!

When I went to the room, Gabe jumped up from his sleep and screamed "POLTERGEEEEIST!!!"

I fell from laughing right away, and everybody woke up looking at Gabe. They all started laughing when they realized he was talking about one of the scary movies we watched.Cara went up to him and slapped him with a pillow for waking her up. It doesn't matter who you are, you never wake Cara up from her sleep. We all laughed at that even more. Eventually we all fell asleep. I kept my phone close to me, but Gabe never screamed again.

We all woke up to the home phone making an annoying ringing sound. Hera answered it and started jumping around like a lunatic. She hung up the phone and screamed,

"WE HAVE NO SCHOOL! THESE KIDS MESSED UP A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT SO WE CAN'T GO AT ALL TODAY!!"

Everybody jumped up at that. Hera dragged Cara and Gabe shopping. Me and Willow stayed here though and painted our nails, catched up on Once Upon a Time, and then played some board games. Willow wanted to study for the civics test coming up so I did some research. I researched about mythical creatures. I clicked this one article and my screen had a light gold glow around it for a second. That was very odd. Maybe I just imagined it. I shrugged it off and read the article.

I scanned through it until something caught my eye. It said 'How can you tell if somebody is a vampire? Well, they will be extremely pale. They will also be as cold as ice. Some differences you may not notice though is that they are extremely strong and fast. Also, their skin is very strong. Some also have 'gifts'. Gifts are like special powers, and different for every vampire. Some may be more better at using a gift than others. If they have black eyes, that means they are either really mad, or need to go hunting.'

They were extremely pale, cold as ice, and didn't really hang out with other people, to control blood lust maybe? But if they drink blood, how could they stay in a place with so many people? If Mason was 'hungry', then why didn't he lunge at anybody? Also, does Mason have a gift? I wasn't scared of him or his family, just interested. That means I was right about mythical creatures and I wanted to know more. I have way to many thoughts in my head. I closed my laptop.

"Hey Willow, I'm going to take a walk. If I'm not here after about, 2 hours, and I'm not picking up my phone, that's when you can start getting worried, okay? I shouldn't take that long though. Don't worry, I'll watch over myself."

"Okay, just please be very careful. Bye!"

With that, I headed out. I started walking towards the forest. When I got there, I went a few feet in the forest. I like to walk in peace, and nature was very peaceful. I started wondering off into my thoughts. I started thinking about Mason. Soon enough, I see him walking about a mile behind me. I don't think he can see me. Maybe he likes going for walks to?

I turned back around only to see a guy there, trying to trip me. I jumped right on time and tripped him. When I was tripping him, a really strong gust of wind came by, helping take him down. I ran back towards the way I came. I didn't see Mason. I turned back around to see him there, standing were the guy was, and the guy running off as if he was scared for his life. I looked at Mason, and he was looking back at me, as if waiting for me to say something. There is no way a human could have possibly ran that far that fast. I knew what to say to him.

"I know you are a vampire."
