You know I hate playing those 'games' right? Well I can kinda control my temper. Kinda not.

I walked to the end of the street to the eerie old house and knocked on the door that looked as if it was about to come off of its hinges.

I wasn't surprised when the white, clammy gloves greeted me.

"Boo!" I shrieked.

The gloves jerked back like they were startled.

I laughed hard.

There were now white, clammy, scardy-hands!

"Katelin is not!" boomed a voice.

"Hey! Do not look at me! It is not my fault!" shrieked another.

"Yes. It is. You had responsibility of the girl. You have to do it!"

I peeked through the door. There I saw a werewolf, a vampire, a bat, a black cat, a ghost, and the pair of hands. The cat was speaking.

"It's still not my fault!"

"Yessss!" the vampire hissed.

"I know where she was. She was at her house. Now-"

"I smell blood," the vampire said. "Human blood. It is familiar."

He sniffed the air.

"Yessss! Blood!"

I held my breath and hid around the corner and in the darkness of the walls protruding from door just as he stepped out.

He sniffed.

"My ssscent isss gone."

I peeked back in the room.

"We can't-!"

Megan? I thought.

"She's my friend! I don't want her to end up like me!"
