Larissa chained me up in the underground. Fangs popped out of her mouth as she was finishing me up. It was at this moment that I knew: Larissa was a vampire.
"You-- you're a vampire, Larissa?" I asked, scared.
Larissa smiled and said, "Always have been, and always will be. Oh and by the way, we're gonna capture Steven and give him the revenge he's always deserved."
"Capture? Revenge? What do you mean by all this?"
A wolf howled in the distance. I looked to my left and saw another female vampire walking with what looked like a werewolf. The vampire chained up the wolf.
"Steven? Is that you?" I asked, looking at the wolf. The wolf howled.

My other best friend Christian Brooks was walking outside when he heard the howl.
"Steven?" he asked, quietly. He started to run when suddenly, a male vampire found him and kidnapped him. When they arrived to the cemetery underground, the male vampire chained up Christian, putting him next to me.
"Ariella, I have something to tell you," said Christian, in pain. "That werewolf that you see right there, is Steven."
"I'm so sorry that I didn't believe you, Christian," I said. "And Steven, I love you. Even if you are a werewolf. Oh my God."
Steven growled.
Larissa scoffed and said, "Stop all this Twilight romance bullshit you guys. It's getting boring."
"Larissa, they're just friends, let us go!" I shouted as Christian groaned in pain. I looked at him.
"Ariella, your boyfriend and other best friend are werewolves, my ancestral enemies," said Larissa. She almost passed out due to vampire thirst. Her eyes changed from brown to blood red. "Where was I? Oh yeah, that's right." She walked in front of Steven.
Christian looked at me as his eyes changed from chocolate brown to golden yellow.
"Say goodbye to werewolf life, Steven," said Larissa, getting ready to bite Steven.
"NO!" I shouted. The ground started to shake. I looked over and saw another werewolf in Christian's place. I couldn't believe what I saw. Christian was a werewolf, too. "How? He's not a werewolf too, is he?"
Larissa tensed up and said, "Uh, you guys, I'm gonna go." She flew away. I could tell she was scared.
Steven broke off his chains and let me free along with Christian. I walked in between the two werewolves. "Alright boys, it's time to fight the fight once and for all. Steven, you go beat some vampire ass. Christian can take me home so I'm safe."
Steven escaped to go fight the vampires.
"I love you Steven!" I shouted. Christian got in front of me and guided me home.
