Lydia's POV:

I've hatched a sick plan. Basically I'm gonna carry my bike everywhere with me and when the bat starts flying away I'm gonna follow it. Yes obviously there's flaws, but idc it's better than nothing. I think I'll go the corner shop and then the park and just sit there until it budges. It's a Sunday and I have no other plans, my parents know my plans (they think im schizophrenic), and Lily's had her phone taken so I should be distraction free.

1hr in and I'm so bored, the bat hasn't moved an inch and I'm all out of scran ( if you want specifics I had a normal chocolate aero bar and an apple chupa chups, also a 50p energy drink).

Berry: "Lydia? Is that you?"
Lydia: "Shit Berry, you scared me. What are you doing here?"
Berry: "I'm vampire hunting."
Lydia: "At quarter to 12? Aren't they like allergic to the sun?"
Berry: "I don't think so, maybe not as a bat."

Something about that gave me chills. I'm not sure if it was because of how relevant that is to me because of the bat, or how relevant that is to me as a girl who met loads of vampire looking hotties in broad daylight. It scares me that one of my theories that shouldn't be possible is becoming gradually more undeniable as time goes on.

Berry: "What're you doing here?"

Should I tell her the truth?

Lydia: "Not much... just chilling ig."
Berry: "Hm. Fun? Hey is that bat still following you?"

I'm not sure I can lie to her as she can just look around and see that bloody big ba-
ARE YOU FUCKING JOKING ME.
It's gone. It's fucking gone, I've wasting all this fucking time on jack shit.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH.
I take an angry deep breath in.

Lydia: "Nope. No bat, look around."
Berry: "That sucks- o-or is good I guess I know it was really pissing you off."
Lydia: "Yeah it was."
I look back at the tree it was in.
"Really pissing me off."
