"Mom, you know this is fake news right?" I say to my mom who's sitting next to me on the couch. She always believes everything that's on the news. Now they're saying there's a vampire in our town stalking girls, and eating them. It's stupid and childish to make people so scared. "No this is real, just be careful" she says. I sigh and stand up. "I don't need to be careful cause there's nothing!" I yell. I run up to my room and sit down on my bed.
I love her, but she can be so stupid some times. I grab my school bag and put some books in it. I'm probably gonna skip school tomorrow, but who cares. I fall in my bed putting on my tv. I switch channels till I see something weird. I see a live video of.. my window?! I freeze, I feel adrenaline rush trough my veins
*knock knock*
I turn to my window and slowly stand up. I slowly walk to the window my legs feeling wobbly. I open the curtains but I see nothing. I open the window and a piece of paper flies in my face. I quickly grab it and pull it off my face. I look around a bit longer till I'm sure nothing is there. I close the window and close the curtains. I look down at the paper and furrow my brows.

"Seriously?" I say to myself. I sigh, people are obsessed with this. I put it on my desk and grab a book. I sit down on my bed and turn my tv off. "Whatever" I say while I sigh.
"CORA!" My mom yells from downstairs.
"Omg WHAT?" I yell back.
...
"MOM?" I say with a confused voice. I sigh deeply and walk downstairs. "What is it mom?" I say. Mom isn't sitting on the couch. The tv is on but mom isn't there. "Mom don't go and scare me now" I say walking around the house. I stand in front of the kitchen door. "Mom?" I say. I feel cold breath on the back of my neck and I quickly turn around.
Nothing is there.
I turn back to the kitchen door and carefully push it open. "Mom?" I say. I look around and mom still isn't there. "What the hell?" I whisper under my breath. I turn around and before I can turn around fully my mom comes crashing down on me. I fall to the ground with her head on my lower belly. "Mom?" I lift up her head and see her dead eyes. I scream on the top of my lungs and run to the living room.
I grab the phone and call the police and an ambulance.
I curl up on the couch my legs on my chest and my arms wrapped around them. I can't get her face out of my mind. Tears stream down my face but then I realise. Someone must have done this to her. The second that thought spooks trough my head I hear stumbling. I sit up immediately praying that the police will arrive soon.
"Fuck" I hear someone say from upstairs. I grab a big knife from the kitchen and tiptoe up the stairs. I stand in front of my bedroom door and hear stumbling. I carefully open it and see a boy my age stumbling around. My arms drop to the side of my body as I watch him. "Hello?" I say making him look up.
"Fuck, uh hey" he says. I see a trail of blood from his lips to his neck. "W-who are you? What did you do to my mom?" I say still holding the knife tightly. He wipes his mouth with his sleeve and smirks. "She tasted good" he says. I drop the knife and run downstairs. I hear his footsteps close behind me as I try not to jump off the stairs. I run to the kitchen en quickly try to find any wound on my moms body.
Before I can look he grabs my arms and tries to pull me out of the kitchen. My eyes catch two red dots on the side of mom's neck. I scream in fear and sadness as he pulls me to the ground. He gets on top of me staring at me with his lifeless eyes. I struggle under his grip trying to get loose. "Stay still, stay still" he says with a smooth whisper making me shiver.
I hear the sirens and see the red and blue light. The lights hit the side of his face as he holds my arms down tightly. The police knocks on the door "hello?"
I start screaming and crying for help, tears rolling down my face. "Shut up!" He yells in my face. The police starts banging against the door making him look up. "I'm not done with you yet" he says before getting off of me and running upstairs. I assume he jumped out the window.
The police breaks down the door running up to my shocked self. "Hey are you alright ma'am? What happened?" They ask helping me up. I point my shaky finger to the kitchen door and the look up. They slowly walk to the door with their guns loaded. They stand against the wall holding their guns to their chin. The nod at each other before pushing open the door and pointing the guns to every corner. They look fine at my mom "holy shit" one of them says.
**
I'm sitting in the ambulance a blanket wrapped around me as the police asks me questions. I watch the front door as they roll out a table with a white blanket with a nose and feet popping out. It doesn't take long for me to realise that's my mom. I start sobbing and I look at my feet trying to get the sight out of my head. I start to feel nauseous.
The police men help me out of the car. So the ambulance people can put my mom in. "Ma'am we need you to go to the police station with us" he says. I slowly nod my head and walk with him to the car.
