The house seemed to shake from all the screams from outside.
Some were from terror others were from sadness of seeing their loved ones be killed right in front of them. But I didn’t dare move from my spot, I barely made any noise. Mom and Dad told me to be very quiet, as much as I could. I was huddled under their bed, Mom was in the closet, Dad was close to the door armed with a gun.
'Where on earth is Xavier', I thought to myself. The thought of my brother getting hurt made me shutter and have my fear boncing off the walls in the room. Oh, Xavier I hope that he is ok.
My thoughts are finally put to rest when I hear the doorknob shaking. Someone is finally trying to get in. I went deeper under the bed, just hoping that what was ever on the other side would leave. But I guess that was too much to ask for.
After a few seconds with messing with the knob, the door was thrust open.
I could only see the feet of the attacker but I already knew what they looked like. I had seen them before on T.V., but I always hoped that our town was too powerful for anything to attack us. But I guess that hope had to be diminished too.
What was standing there in front of my father as he impaled it with bullets was something not that ugly at all to be honest. The attackers were actually quite beautiful and handsome. Everything about them was perfect, their hair, their body, even their wicked smile.
The only thing that would chill you to the bone is their eyes and teeth. Their eyes were blood red and their teeth were pointed like daggers at the tip.
What stood in front of my father right now was a vampire. Their thirst for blood was enough to make my own blood run cold just thinking about their strange appetite.
My father kept shooting the vampire, but then all of a sudden no sound came from the gun. It was empty, life must be trying to make me suffer today.
The vampire chuckled darkly, and you could even here the wicked grin on his face as he. It gave me the chills.
Then suddenly there was the sound of a struggle.
I chanced a peek at what was happening, and quickly regretted it. I saw my father, on the ground writhing in pain as the vampire sank his teeth into him.
I had to restrain myself from screaming. I felt the tears coming just before they started pouring down my cheeks.
One last strangled, ragged breath escaped from my father before his body was dropped down limp in useless.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise. My mom had burst out of the closet and attacked the vampire.
But she only had the upper-hand for a moment, before she was on the ground struggling in his grip.
I could tell he was smiling down at her but she tried her best not to show her fear to the enemy. Then his teeth sink deep into her neck. She glanced at me slightly under the bed, I had terror written across my face. What kind of 11 year old should have to expierence true pain at this point in life? To see their parents being killed right before their eyes and they can’t do anything about it.
She only managed to mouth 'I love you', before her body went limp as well.
The screams that had been ringing in my ears from the outside world seemed to become silent, as if time had stopped itself.
The vampire finally pulled away from my mother and let her body fall from his arms.
He was almost out of the room, but he stopped right in his tracks.
I heard him sniff the air a few times. He slowly came back into the room. I felt my fear creep up all over me. He stopped by the bed and bent down. That was the first time I got a good look at this murderous creature's face.
He smiled his wicked grin at the sight of me under the bed, his pointed teeth, and red eyes sent chills down my back.
I sank more into the wall under the bed. But I knew it would be no use, they aren't known to give up the easily.
Tsk Tsk Tsk, was all I heard from him as he gave me one of his wicked grins.
I looked at him with fear, he chuckled at me, it was one of the most sinister and darkest things I have ever heard.
He got up and started to lift the bed, I closed my eyes accepting my fate.
But then I heard the pounding of footsteps rushing into the room and then a cry of pain. I mangaged a peek through small slits to see what was going on, I saw the feet of someone was standing over the now the twitching vampire.
A wooden stake impaled in it's back, after about 2 more seconds it layed there motionless and turned to ash. I managed a sigh in relief as my savior bent down.
An even bigger sigh escaped me. Xavier had been my savior from a terrible fate. He gave a sigh of relief at seeing me.
“Are you ok Spenc”, he asked as he looked at me carefully. I gave him a little nod. My full name was Spencer Millenia Brown, it was a very popular name these days.
A loud sound from outside shattered me from my thoughts.
Xavier looked outside from his postion on the ground real quick at then looked back at me. "Come on Spenc, we got to go", he said sticking out his hand for me to take. I hesitated, and looked at mom and dad, their eyes lost of their brilliant light and happiness. Xavier looked at them too and sighed deeply to try to cover up the tears that were taking form. He looked back at me, "I know Spencer, but we have to go now", he said trying to keep his tears a bay. I looked back at him and extended my hand at let him pull me out.
Once I was out from under the bed, he didn't hesitate to pull me out the door and down the stairs, as fast as he could go with me dragging behind.
He then pulled me to the front door and threw it open to reveal a scene that looked that it belonged in one of those horror films I would sometimes get glimpses of when Xavier was watching them with Dad.
We ran out the door and into the street as other people ran around screaming and crying.
Xavier looked around until he saw a van coming down the road. He ran out in front of it with me in tow, waving his hands frantically to get them to stop.
When the car stopped he ran over to the window which had an angry looking driver. He talked to him for a while but I couldn't hear him because my ears were ringing from all the noises from outside.
After a while I saw the guy look down at me and then he turned his attention to someone in the passenger seat. He also did a quick glance into the back. Finally he looked at us again and motioned for us to get in.
Xavier pulled me towards the door and threw it open before pratically throwing me in as well. He then clambered into the car as well and slammed the door shut.
I looked around the inside of the van as it took off. There were two girls that looked exactly the same in one corner, 'twins' , I thought. There was also a dude who looked like he was at least in his 20s. In the far corner was a girl with her dark hair styled in a pixie-cut.
But the one that caught my attention the most, was this young boy who looked around my age who was near the front of the car. Where the kind driver who had let us come wtih them was as well as a pretty brunette. I looked a little more closely at those two, their hands were interlocked as he drove and she looked out the window.
As we drove on I tried to stay awake and alert. But that started to prove almost impossible.
So eventually I just let myself slip off and layed my head down on Xavier's shoulder.
If only at that moment I had known what the future held for me, I would've stayed awake longer to get the first glance.
