Kendal And The Vampire

Chapter 1: Kendal Martinez

A loud snoring sound can be heard throughout the hallway in the upper floor of a two story house on Darnett Road. In the upper hallway next to the restroom on the second floor. A large white painted door is cracked open. Next to the bed some sheets are move up and down as the large sounds of the young Randy Martinez's age fourteen can be heard. His room is filled with old records which are piled up in the right corner. His bed is made of light wood and his blue and white sheets cover his tall thin body. His hairy left leg sticks out of the sheets as his foot dangles down almost hitting the ground. His face and big nose blow air in and out of his throat. His dark lips breathe slowly and steadily to the rooms dry air. The headphones from the night before are still in his ears; but on his right ear the headphones are partially falling off. The music from his sound pod has stopped playing. His dark skin and freckles moves with his upper cheeks as he breathes in and out. Causing more snoring sounds to protrude from his mouth. A small tiny hand starts to move it's way over the young man's upper chest. In it is a small brown tarantula no bigger than the palm itself. The little hand gently places the spider on the young boys breast and starts to move closer to the young man's nose. The fingers walk up his chest like they are little legs. The hand moves over towards both of his nostrils and slowly moves down towards them. The index finger and the thumb of the tiny hand grab the nostrils and holds them shut. Randy struggles as he tries to breathe. He snorts one or two times until he finally he opens his eyes in a panic. At the same time another tiny hand turns on his music pod at full blast waking him up completely. He raises from his blankets and sees the spider which has now fallen to his lap. He starts to scream at the top of his lungs. However, he can't hear himself scream due to the loud rock music blasting in his ears. He looks over and sees a little girl wearing a girl scout uniform. She's wearing a brown collared shirt with a blue scarf wrapped around her neck. She has a small afro which is pulled back into a pony tail. Her little round nose and her puffy cheeks are light brown with freckles near her dimples. Her bright smile shines as she puts her small hands on her face and screams at the Randy who's in full panic mode. Her small blue jean shorts with a green belt wrapped around her waist shows itself as she jumps up from the floor where she was knelled down and grabs the tarantula. Her light brown eyes look up at her brother with a sadistic laughter in them as she keeps screaming with him and runs out of his room through his door which is wide open. He realizes what has just happened and as he goes to jump out of bed his one foot that was hanging out of the sheets earlier feels a pull. He shouts, "Keennnddaaaall! As loud as he can, but just as he pops out of the bed the tug he feels on his foot pulls his body back. He falls forward and lands flat on his face. A large thump can be hear in the hallway away from his room's door. He looks over at his leg and notices his shoelaces from his sneakers are tied around his ankle to his bed post. With a loud rage in his voice and an angry snort he yells, "I'm going to kill little mosquito!" He takes a moment and unties the childish knot wrapped around his ankle. As he gets up from the ground. His hair which was tied down with clips has unbundled itself and parts of his afro pops out as he gets himself to his feet. He gets himself up from the ground and rushes out the door in his blue T-shirt and red work out shorts he wears, before bed every night. His feet slide effortlessly across the floor. He slams into another white door which is Kendal's bedroom. He starts to pound the door. "I know your in there mosquito spawn. I'm going to give you to the count of ten to open up or I'm going to break it down." He waits for a moment to hear a response, but doesn't hear anything. He sees the crack at the bottom of the door and notices the light is on. "Kendal open this door and take your wooping. I promise I won't be to mean before I kill you. Just enough to make it hurt. Now open this door!" He pounds on it some more, but still no answer. He starts to make a count down from one to ten. "Alright, Kendal. I'm starting the count." He pulls his hand forward and starts with his index finger. "One!" He uses his middle finger on his right hand next. "Two!" He keeps going until he hits ten. "Alright mosquito queen. Time to meet the fly swatter. He backs up down the hallway and starts to run towards the door. Each foot makes a loud thump and just as he's about to hit the door. Kendal swings it open and ducks below him. As he flies through the air. He can sees Kendal's devious little brown eyes as he realizes she just got him again. She runs down the stairs as Randy sees her fly by. He goes flying into her room and lands on the ground with a perfect belly flop. Another thump is heard throughout the hallway. "Kennndaaaal!" He puts his head up and feels the pain in his stomach from hitting the ground really hard. His anger rises even more as he yells, "You're dead! You're so dead!" He gets up from her floor and notices the layout of her room. He tiny bed is neat and folded with little ant farm print on the comforter. Her pillows are giant shaped honey bees sticking out of the comforter. He notices all the pictures on the wall above her bed are pictures of insects she has drawn and collected. Some pictures are just her adding a picture of the bugs she found. He notices next to her door a little white desk with a book shelf on top. He sees her notebook computer sitting on the desk closed. He goes to get up and sees her camera bag which is closed up underneath the desk on the left side where a small storage drawer is. He sees her tiny office chair and sees her clothes are hanging over it. He notices all the books stuffed into the shelves. She has everything from biology books about bugs, to the nature of trees, down to her math and sciences books from school. He makes it to his feet and bursts out the door while making sure he doesn't slip.
