The Monster Down the Street

The Abandoned

Raven POV
I walked down the streets to the shop my mother owned and stopped to wait for Achille to come out of the kitchen. "Hurry up!" I shouted. "Can't you see I'm trying?" Achille said as he walked over to me and put his arm around my shoulders. Together we walked to the shop and talked merrily about our morning. It has been two weeks since the fight with Claude, an evil vampire who killed Achille's parents. We reached the shop and found our two friends talked and laughing. "Well hello again Raven and Achille," King said looking over at us. "Not this love shit again!" Ibuki said while his wolf ears sprang up at the sight of them. "Shut it, Ibuki," King said."Let them have their fun." Ibuki looked at King like he was crazy. "FUN! I HAVEN'T HAD FUN IN YEARS!"Ibuki shouted. " Well maybe you can have it now, Ibuki, " Mother said coming out from the back. "Why?" He said going back to his book. "Because we're going home early," Mother said. "Oh," Ibuki said sitting up and smiling. "Raven restock the fourth shelf," Mother said plopping a box in my hands. While I restocked, King, Ibuki, and Achille talked about this coming up Christmas. Ibuki had blue hair, a blue jacket, blue jeans, light blue eyes, and a white shirt. Achille had silver and red hair, red eyes, a white hoodie, his blue jeans, and his necklace that was given to him when his mother died. King had a long green cloak, his blue jeans, light green eyes, blonde hair, which was long and braided, and a white shirt. I wore a dress of white, my long black hair hung down my back, my eye are brown that sparkle in the light. After I restocked the shelf we started home. "Ibuki hide your wolf ears!" King said. "Why?" Ibuki said irritated. "We can't be exposed idiot!" Achille said, giving Ibuki a pat on the back. "Grrrrr. I am not an idiot!" Ibuki said as his ears and tail disappeared. "Technically you are," King said looking ahead of us. "Hey guys?" "Yea King," I said jumping out of my thoughts. "Does anyone see a strange cat on the side of the road?" He asked. "Just now," I answered. "That is bloody hell weird!" Achille shouted. The cat looked over at me and disappeared down the alleyway. "Let's follow it," I suggested. "OK," King said following the others. Ibuki's ears sprang up again. I saw the cat again but before I got a glimpse of it, it turned into a little girl of five. She looked at me with the same crimson eyes as Achille's. "H-Hello?" She said shyly. "Hi," I said smiling. "Why are you out alone?" "Someone killed my mom and dad," she said jumping onto the ground. "Who?" I asked. She stared at me and looked at the ground. "Someone named Claude," she said. "Claude? Did you say Claude?" Achille asked with deep anger. "Yes," she said whipping her tears. "I am going to beat the shit out of him!" Achille yelled. The yell scared the girl and she hid behind my black cloak. "Sorry little one. It's just I know that guy. I will do everything to kill him OK?" Achille said holding out his hand to show he was a peaceful guy. The girl walked over and did the same. "Your a vampire?" He asked standing up. "Mhm! I have been hiding as a cat to shield myself from the sun. I miss my mom and dad," she said hugging my arm. "My name's Ayra. What's y'all's?" Ayra asked. "My name is Achille. This is Raven, the werewolf is Ibuki, and the traveler is King," Achille said pointing to each of us as he said our names.
