The Chronicles of a Teenage Vampire (Book One): Michelangelo, Teenage Vampire

Trouble

     Michael dropped Katrina to the floor in shock as Teryen stared at him in shock, disbelief, and fear.

"Looks like you're in trouble!" Katrina said in a singsongy voice while coughing up a bit of blood.

Michael ignored Katrina and stepped a little closer to Teryen.

"Now Teryen, let's not do anything crazy!" He said to her as she kept stepping back.

"You stay back!" She screamed as she put her fingers together in front of herself as a cross. "I knew you were strange, I just knew it! That's why you hang out with those strange losers! I bet your Mexican friend is strange too; I bet he's a real werewolf, isn't he?"

Michael didn't answer but kept walking towards Teryen as she was trying to walk away from him.

"He is!" She noticed by herself. "I'm calling the cops, or animal control... or something!!"

"No, Teryen! Don't do that!" Michael screamed.

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened and Margret peeked her head out to see what was going on.

"Michael?" She looked at him. "What's going on out here?!"

"I -" Michael tried to explain to her but saw Teryen running away and then saw Katrina's body was gone. "Dang! They're both gone!"

"Who's gone?!" Margret asked.

"Teryen and Katrina!" Michael answered.

"Who's Katrina?" Margret asked.

"I'll tell you later, Marge!" Michael shouted. "Is Carlos still in there with Jen?!"

"Of course!" Margret shouted back. "He's been helping me cheer Jen up."

Michael ran into the bathroom and saw Carlos sitting on the side of the tub beside Jennifer.

"Not cool, man!" Carlos said to Michael.

"I know, I know, I know!" Michael sighed. "But it wasn't my fault! Katrina played a trick on me and made me think Jennifer was her!"

"Katrina?! Katrina the witch?!?" Carlos asked as he slowly got up. "Katrina's been dead for years!"

"Yeah, well now she's back thanks to my grandfather!" Michael quickly explained.

"Man, that old man's getting vile within his so called golden years!" Carlos said.

"Yeah, tell me about it!" Michael said. "We need to get the girls out of here and go to my house!"

"Why?!" Carlos asked.

"Attention, attention!" Teryen said over the house intercom. "There are real vampires and werewolves in this mansion!! I'm not kidding. This is not a Halloween joke, I swear to you all!! I just saw that cutie Michelangelo suck the blood out of a poor innocent party guest!"

"What?!" Carlos shouted at Michael. "Haven't you learned anything?!"

"It was Katrina!" Michael said.

"Oh, she doesn't count. She's a witch, she's not human." Carlos calmed down.

"I advise you to lock your doors once you get inside your safe homes!" Teryen continued. "Get out your garlic, silver, crosses, wooden stakes, silver bullets and more ready! Remember, these monsters are dangerous; so don't look back, just run, Run, RUN!!!"

"What are we gonna do?" Carlos asked Michelangelo. "If we go out through the front or back door, we'll be killed."

"Ahem!" Jennifer coughed to get their attention. She pulled back the shower curtains and pushed a brick in the wall to reveal a secret passageway tunnel.

"Alright, Jen!" The boys cheered.

The boys went through the passageway with the girls and were instantly outside among the chaos. They then quickly ran to Michelangelo's house.
