Vampire Reporter

Episode 11- Damn Those Elves

Before I knew it, Christmas was already here. I didn't know if vampires celebrate Christmas or not. But either way I was. I decorated my room. Christmas lights hung from the walls. A small tree sat in the corner. It was like I was back at home. I didn't want anything this year. I got what I wanted. My mom and I get to spend time with her and I became a vampire. It was nice. I loved this Christmas more than the others.

A knock at the door startled me. I walked to the door and opened it. Cien stood there holding a box. I moved out the way for him to come in. I told him he could help and he did. He too liked Christmas. I asked him, since I can't leave this place, to get me some wrapping paper.

He laid the box on my bed. I opened it.

"Hope this was worth it." He said stretching.

"It was. Cause I got you a present." I say grabbing a Santa hat. I put it on his head.

He smiled. "Well good. I think I've been a good boy this year." He laughed loud.

Man that laugh melted my heart. The more I got close to Cien the more I found out about him. I think I've developed a crush on him.

"Ambrose?" Cien said snapping his finger in my face.

I noticed I was staring at him. "Um...sorry." I look in the box and grab the wrapping paper.

"Now I'm going to wrap the gifts. So you need to leave." I say pushing him out the door.

I shut the door. I turn to grab the gifts and I start to wrap them.

Christmas was in just one day. I already wrapped my gifts and now all I had to do was wait.

I was walking down the hall and I was thinking. I got Cien something, my mom, and a little something for Cerberus. I know we haven't talked but I mean he would say hi once and a while when I would walk down the halls. Cien wasn't with me when he did. I don't know why they seem like this but something is going on between them and I wonder what?

As I was going on in my head a sudden scream woke me out of it. I had been walking down one of the halls and someone was screaming?

I ran towards the scream. As I got closer my ears hurt. Man this person has a loud scream.

I come to a door. I was about to open it when I heard another voice.

"Shut up!"

I heard a slap. It was a deep mannish voice. Who is this? What's going on?

I press my ear toward the door.

"Please...just...let..me..go.." someone pleaded.

I crack the door a little. It didn't make any noise. I peck inside.

A young girl with long blonde hair and tan skin sat at a chair tied to it. What is going on in there?

I listen closer.

"You and your kind are all the same." A man approach her. He wore a black jacket and dark red pants. I didn't see his face.

"Please just let me go. I promise I won't say anything about you!" She yelled crying. Tears rolled down her face.

This poor girl. How could he be so mean to her. Without thinking I open the door. The door slammed against the wall. The man and girl turned my way. The man before me was someone I haven't met. He looked different than Cien and Cerberus. His skin was not pale but grey. His hair was red and a long scar ran down his face.

"What are you doing here!" He yelled making the room feel like it was shaking.

"Please help me!" The girl yelled crying more.
