The sequel

Chips

Sky

The weekend was boring. We just sat around the house and played video game.

On Monday we were back to school. It was also boring.

It was after school that turned non boring.

We walked home, trying to avoid slipping on the ice that covered the sidewalk. We were taking a shortcut through the forest and saw a persons foot stuck in a bear trap. We quickly get him out and he falls to the ground. "Are you ok? What's your name? What happened?" Emma questions him repeatedly. "Yes I'm ok, I accidentally stepped on a bear trap, and my name is Charles" he answers. "That wasn't in order-" Emma states. "Why were you out in the forest?" I interrupt Emma before she gets a punch in the face. "Is this private property?" He asks, kinda ignoring my question. "I'm not sure, joe said it was, but I'm pretty sure he was lying" telling harlie and sparrow, more then him, since I'm guessing they were wondering the same thing. "Well, I apologize if it is, and to answer your question, I was just exploring" Charles says to me.

We help him get to our house. He stops at the doorway. "Come on in" Emma says sweetly, as if she was inviting in a stray dog. He hurried through the door, and we rush him up stairs to treat his wounds. We were able to avoid mom noticing him the first time. But we weren't so lucky in getting him out. "Sky, harlie! Who is this?" She asks in a scolding tone. We aren't allowed to have people over without her consent. "His name is Charles" Emma answers. "Why is he here?" She asks. We all stay quiet. "Sky?" She asks me. "Uh.." I struggle. I have a very hard time lying to mom. But if I tell her the truth, we will get in trouble, for going in the forest, since she said multiple times we aren't allowed in there because she's scared a wolf or something will attack us, but I think we can defend ourselves. "His foot got caught in a bear trap!" I say, pointing at Charles foot. "How?" Mom asks, sceptical. "I live in the forest, and I wasn't watching where I was going" Charles says, tearing welling up in his eyes. Mom looks horrified. "I'll take him to the hospital" mom states, leaving to find her cars keys. The second she leaves the tears in Charles eyes disappear. He runs out the door before we can stop him.

Charles shows up again later that day. I let him in through my window, not questioning how he got up there. "Why did you run away?" I question him, once harlie, sparrow and Emma are in my room. "My dads a doctor, so it would be quicker for me to be treated if I just went to him" he answers. "You should of explained instead of running out" harlie says. "I'll remember that next time" he smiles.

For the next few days Charles came to visit and hang out.

"What's Halloween? Kids were talking about it and I was wondering." Emma asks. We were waiting for Charles to show up, he was late. He usually shows up at 5:30 exactly. "It's on October 31 and kids dress up at night and knock on people's door, and then the people give them candy" I explain. "So Halloween is in a few days?" Sparrow asks. "4 days to be exact" harlie says. We heard the tv on in the living room. We were currently in the kitchen. It sounded like the news was on. Our parents don't really want us watching the news because it can sometimes be violent and scary. We were only able to see the screen a little without being spotted, we could only hear parts of it. "A mass murder of eleven"
"Victims have two small puncture holes in there necks" a picture appears on the screen, showing a bruised neck, with two little holes next to each other. Our eyes widen. "Looks like a vampire is loose" sparrow gasps. This is the first I've heard of a vampire in the human realm. They are extremely restricted from leaving realms, because of their feeding patterns. And they are definitely not allowed around humans.
