The queen of the covern
Oh God,no!!!
Carly stood up from the pavement and picked her way back home. She had been searching for Willy for some hours now. Where the hell did he go? She really needed to tell him a big secret. Last night,she had seen a man walk so fast she didn't see his face. He had turned back,stared at her and zoomed off like flash. Sure,she had seen flash movie when her sister came the last time. She ignored him and went back to sleep. She had woken up to see her mum by her side and being the brave girl that she was,she had kept it from her mum because she wanted to tell only Willy. Now he is gone. Tears threatened to fall from her green almond eyes.
"Willy!.....Willy!!"she choked on her sob. Just then,she felt prickled at the back of her head. Something was pulling her to the abandoned house which she had not entered since she was five.
*************************************
seven years ago
"Willy!....it's time already"Carly giggled as Willy licked her cheeks. They both wander aimlessly towards the building which had been erect as long as she could remember. Entering the building,she felt cold but ignored it. They picked their way into the rooms and saw a long box that was slim. She almost touched it when she heard her mom's voice. It must be in her head. Her mum was not around. She always went to office at dawn and only came back after sunset. Just as she touched the coffin,she heard Willy yelp. She turned back and realized that Willy had stepped on a broken glass and had it stuck in his feet. She momentarily forgot about the coffin and carried Willy, helping him get home to treat his injured leg.
Later that night,her mum had told her never to move near that house. She told her that there were evil people who lurk in that house.
"what does lurk mean,mum?" Carly asked lovingly
"it means stay.... move or inhabit a house in a dangerous or threatening way,mm....?"
"I perfectly understand,mum. I won't go back ever again."

And now,well it was normal to break the rules a bit. No one would hurt her. She ventured in and went straight to the room. The coffin was there as always. She went towards it and pushed the lid a little. It creaked. A little voice in her told her she was going to die but she ignored it anyway. She gathered enough courage and pushed it over. She awaited a stinky smell but nothing happened. Maybe nothing was there. She peeped over and saw the face of a young man.... sleeping?wasn't likely. She tried touching his face. It was cold. He really was dead. He was completely covered in bones. She shrugged and made to leave when suddenly something bit into her neck. She froze from fear and soon enough,images start swimming in the pool of her eyes. Just as she thought she was dead,the thing suddenly pushed her off. She fought for consciousness. Standing before her was a young man of about 20 years old handsome beyond measures. She stared at him. He looked at her, considering her for a while before carrying her and throwing her over his back. He moved so fast that she tried screaming.she was shocked that it was only a squeak that escaped her lips. She hung on for a few seconds before spiraling into blacknessCHAPTER TWO
It was really black and cold. She could not see anything and was struggling to swim out of the water. Just then,she felt a warm liquid press against her lips. She opened her mouth willingly and let the warm liquid slide down her throat. It was obviously a cup of herbal tea,from her mum. Emotions swirled in and she tried to open her eyes. She felt a stinging sensation in her eyes and reflectively shielded her eyes away from the sunlight. Her mum got this and closed the doors.
"Carly,are you okay?....can you see me?.....please answer me"her mum sobbed.
Again,she fought the force keeping her from opening her eyes. A shriek made her head ache so much that she closed it back. She tried again and saw herself staring into the eyes of her mum.
"I'm sorry" she mumbled, more to herself than her mum.
"It is okay....I'm just happy that you are awake. You fainted in front of the house,most likely from the scorching sun. Have more tea."
"in front of the house?...that's not possible....it was ..... it was.....I don't know.....maybe I had a dream instead"Carly said,confused. It sure was not a dream,but she couldn't tell her mum that. She will be disappointed in her.
To have a minute away from her mum's prying eyes,she thought of what will draw all mothers away from a child with this situation.
"Mum,I'm hungry,can I get something to eat?"
"Yes....yes,my dear...let me fetch the new bacons and fry them...wait a moment"
Her mum scuttled off. She closed her eyes for a moment. Yes, it was real. There was no way it wasn't. She touched her neck. She will have to check with a mirror though. Why would he bite her? Was he a vampire?....of course not...those are fictions,right?Fear crept to her heart. He wouldn't come after her. He wouldn't.He doesn't know her house ....yes,he doesn't. She tried to rest but his image keep hunting her. She felt a voice, a man's voice. She looked around,no one was there. It was probably aftereffect. She heard it again.
"you are mine. I have marked you....you can't get away from me. You will always be mine"... Carly shivered.
