I headed downstairs for breakfast and found my dad mumbling to himself. I ignored him when he looked up at me with suspicion in his eyes. I served myself some of my favorite cereal and ate faster than usual. I washed my plate and felt my father come up to me. “Father, am I still the vampire bate?’ I asked him unsure about the answer he was going to give me. “Yes, there is no reason why you shouldn’t be”, he said with a booming voice, his words repeating in my ears over and over. I didn’t like the reason that I had to be the one used for all this wars. They think that I’m a good at these things just because I’m younger than anyone else.

The Boy!

I forgot all about him and what had happened. I wonder where he went after I found out what he was. I hope he’s still around the town so I can ask him about the war. He should know what happens since he is part of it, right? I ran upstairs and into my room before anyone knew what I was up to. I packed all the needed
equipment so I could leave. While I was, I tried not to make as much noise as possible. Once I was finished, I too jumped out my window and headed where the boy had. I already knew that this trip wasn't going to be as easy as I expect it to be.

As I was walking down the "road", I came up to three paths that lead to who knows where. I looked at the floor of all of them to see if there was any sign of footsteps. I couldn't really see much because it was starting to get darker. My senses told me to take the right path but I wasn't sure whether to listen to it. I followed it even though I wasn't sure about my choice.

Seven Days Later

I was growing tired and the luggage seemed heavier with every passing minute. I felt as if I was going to fall any second from the lack of sleep. It was night fall and I knew that I couldn’t fall asleep yet. I could hear my stomach growling and I couldn’t even remember when I ate.
I finally fell on top of a sack of flour in an alley. Before I fell into unconscious, I saw a black figure walk towards me. I couldn’t see after that and I let my eyes close as I drifted off to sleep.

I opened my eyes and found myself in some sort of house. I stood up and found myself face to face to the same boy. I screamed because he had just popped out of nowhere. The boy didn’t react the same way but he did jump back a bit. I looked at him with pure confusion in my eyes. “I know your very confused right now”, he started, “but don’t be frightened” I stood up and took four steps back. He just took more steps toward me as if he was my shadow. I was getting scared at his reactions and decided to just walk around him. Once I did that, he took a hold of my wrist and gripped it hard. “Please let go of me” It sounded more demanding than I thought it would have sounded. He did as I told but turned me around so I would be looking at him.

We were a few inches away from each of our faces and he started leaning in. I knew what would come after he came close enough to my face. I shut my eyes tightly and waited until.....
