My brother talks to me about what happened.  And of course he says that the man started it. What ever! So, people come in to tell me it’s time to leave.  They take my things and went out of the room.  Everyone wore raincoats because it was really raining hard and was lightning outside.  We came out of the bus.  While we went to the orphanage, I looked at the people on the streets.  It looked like a ghetto place and they looked bad and mean except for one.  He had dark black hair and pale skin like me, he looked like he could be related to me.  He looks like someone that Jared would hang out with.  I looked at the street name.

“12th Street.” I whisper to myself.

“Hey, how you doin?” This guy comes up to me.  “Where you going?”

“Leave her alone, Brandon.” the dark haired guy said.

“Shut up Alex! i’m talking to her.” Brandon said.

“Better hurry.” Alex whispered.

“Thanks.” I reply.

Somehow that Alex guy looked firmilur.

The outside of the orphanage looked all dull and worn out.  I run up the stairs into the orphanage and warm air blows into my face.  The place looked like a huge castle and palace.  Jared takes my bags off me, then leads me to my room.  Some other kids come  running down the stairs in beautiful clothes about the girls and Nicks age to welcome them.  The door looked like it was really old and torn.  But, when he opened the door, the room was huge just like a house inside of a house, like a mansion.  

The bed could probably fit 8 people, because it was that big.  I have my very own family room with my very own T.V., a kitchen, a bathroom, and I have my very own walk in closet with a remote that opens doors and shelves of clothes, sunglasses, and accessories.  This is like a dream come true.  I peer out my window to look out at the pouring rain.  I see creatures just like the one on the bus discised as a man.

“Come here Jared, do you see that?” I ask him.

“See what?” he asks.

“The creature duh!” I ask making it obvious.

“Uh I only see people.” he says.

“Yah that’s my point.” I say.

“They look like human-people but they remind me of the man who turned into a creature thing.  The creature was disguised as a man.” I said.

“Oh, all I see is human people?” he says.

“Ok.” I say.

He leaves the room.  These ones looked different.  Human-like but not, they were like the creatures that could only appear in dreams.  I looked back into my bedroom, to hear a knock.

“Come in.” I yell.

Then, I look back out the rainy window.  I felt as if I had died and came back alive.  I fell back from looking at the creature that looked to appear vampire like and was it staring at me.  I fall back and hit my head.

“Alice!” someone yells, but i’m to unconscious to see who it was. 

I blacked out and all I remember was the creature.  Then, everything became dark and someone put me in my bed.  

I wake up still sleepy and it's still dark out and look down to see me still in my clothes from yesterday.  Next, to me is Jared.  I wonder why he is there?  Who knows?  Whatever.  I get up to look at the time.  2:16 a.m. ugh.  I get up and find my pajamas.  Pink, silky, with laces edges.  I take them into my bathroom and look back to see Jared has rolled over on which was orignally my spot.  Ugh boys. Haha.

I shut the door and changed my clothes.   I took the silky top on and buttoned it up keeping the first couple buttons unbuttoned .  Then slipped on my capri's.  I unlock the door and see Jared awake and up on his phone playing games.  

"Hey, you feelin' better?" Jared asks.

"Ya, thanks?" I say questioning. "What are you doing here?"

" Oh you blacked out or something, I guess from seeing something outside.  I just decided to stay here with you so you would be safe while you slept." He replies.

"Oh, well in that case, thanks, I appreciate it.  I don't remember what I saw but I've seen it before somewhere.  It scares me."  I say.

"It's ok i'll make sure your safe when ever you need it." He says.  " I'll be like, your protector."  

"Okay?" I say and walk to the bed and get under the covers.  I glance over at Jared. 

"So." I say.

"Soooo,  I've heard your a troublemaker." He says.

"Um, no." I blush and look down. He looks at my face when I'm trying to hide my face.

"Really?, I find it cool actually." he replies.

"Um, well, uh, a little, i've only done like 50 million pranks!  Haha give or take a few." I say.

"Haha." He says.  " So watcha doin'?"

"Watching you play your games on your phone." I say laughing.

"Ya. " he replies.

I lay my head on his shoulder and watch him play.

"Yes!, next level!" he whispers.

"Wow!" I say sarcastically. "Um well its 2:30 now AM!  i'm going to sleep.  Good Night J." I reply.

"K, Good Night.  Let me just finish this next level and i'll go to sleep too." He says.

I curled up, on my side, under my covers and went to sleep.

My alarm clock came on at 8:45 I found myself laying by Jared's stomach.  I elbow Jared in the stomach.  

"Wake up." I say.

"10 more minutes." he replies.

"We got to get up come on." I say.

"10 more minutes Allie." he says.

"No, we can't." I say and keep elbowing him.

"Mm." he grunts. "I'm still tired."  and wraps his arm around mine so I can't elbow him anymore.

"Let go of me!" I whisper yell. He doesn't reply.  "Don't pretend your sleeping, cause I know your not."

"10 more minutes Allie." he says.

"Fine I guess you don't want to come tonight?" I say.

"Ok i'm up!" he says sitting up.

"Haha." I say laughing.
