The Girls with the Eyes

The Meet Up

The car ride to the meeting place was anxious. I stared out the window, wishing my mom would drive faster. It was barely 7 in the morning, why are so many monster awake. Our little town isn't home to too many creatures, a few hundred. That's why I didn't understand why I , specifically, had to go.

"Mom, can I ask you a very important question?"

She nodded. Staying more focus on that old book.

"Why did you choose me to go? There are tons of monsters in town."

"Sweetheart, the others and I have talked and selected the monsters who we thought were smart and worthy enough to go through with the mission. "

"What is the mission exactly."

"You'll find out shortly."

After about an hour and a half. We pull up to a deserted lot. There were a few cars there already. I say a glimpse of a girl who was arguing with her dad in the car, and she eventually gave in. I saw a little boy in the back who would appear and reappear every now and then.

I heard the car door open and saw my mom step out.

"You coming honey?"she said to me. I looked at her anxiously and stepped out.

We walked a bit far from the car where there are other figures standing that I hadn't noticed before. Some monsters I recognized others unfamiliar faces. The one person I did recognize was Danielle Count it was one of my best monsters, something humans would call a 'A1' or 'Right Hand'.

"Good to see a Medusa it's been too long." Dracula said to my mother. I smiled at him careful to make eye contact. He's always scared me in some way , I mean he is a blood-sucking demon, but he's my best friend's father, kind of like a dad to me too. 

"Miss Mae, I take it that you've met the rest of the monsters that will be accompanying you on your journey."

"Yes sir, I remember quite a few."

I said as we got closer to the clear crowd. There were only a few monsters I recognize, Dani, of course she was my best friend, but I also recognizes the Wolfsen twins, we went to preschool together. The person I wasn't too happy about seeing was Lacey.

Lacey is very cruel and rude and you wouldn't want to be seen with her. She'd probably been in jail a couple times, that is if cops could actually see her. She's the daughter of The Invisible Man which works out in her favor, she'd probably have tons of felonies and a long prison record.

She glared at me as I made eye contact with her. We haven't gotten along very much ever since then. I guess things just weren't meant to be that way.

"We are so grateful you girls were able to go forward with this mission." The Invisible Man spoke up to break the silence.

" I'd much rather be hunting." I heard Dani mumble under her breath which caused a quick glare from her father.

" I know for a fact some of you didn't want to come." He said looking at Lacey who rolled her eyes.

"But we're happy did, please don't let us down."

"I have a question," one of the twins said.

"What exactly are we supposed to be doing?"

My mom spoke this time.

"You ladies will be posing as humans for a, experiment of sorts. Before we reveal ourselves to them, we'd like some intel. You are to contact us frequently and, whatever you do, do not show your true self."

We all nodded, paying close attention.

"Unfortunately we did our best to disguise you as normal humans, but we couldn't change the color of your eyes. "

I'd realized what they'd been saying. Dani eyes were a softer red than usually were, but the still unusual for humans. My eyes were a deep green color, the twins had a bright hazel, and Lacey's were grey, which shouldn't be too bad.

"If any of you need to get ahold of us, we've given you charms to contact us from. "

I looked down at the bracelet mother gave me.

"Excuse me, I have one last question?"

Everyone looked at me.

"How are we supposed to get to the Human World?"

My mother smirked, something she does when she's excited. With foreign words spilling from her mouth, and a wave of her hand, she opened a portal.

"Good luck on your journey and bring back as much information as possible." My mother said.

"Please don't get distracted." Dracula added.

"Don't let your world down." The Invisible Man added lastly.

With a kiss on our foreheads and bags in our hands, we stepped into the portal all at once, off to the Human World.
