"Hey Thatch! This is not funny anymore!" I walked into the Dark Forest trying to search the number one pranker I've ever known in my whole life, Thatch. His pranks are funny but sometimes it gets too far. Like this situation I'm in.

I stopped at my tracks and looked up to the sky. The moon is shining so bright tonight. Maybe if I scanned the woods again, I might be able to find my way home, and sadly Thatch. Damn, why did I let myself be fooled by him in the beginning anyways?

"Hey Ace! November is drawing near! Want to visit the Dark Forest?" Thatch started to grinned at me while I organized my locker. I looked at him and shrugged my shoulders.

"If it will be for your pranks again, no thank you." I shut my locker door and turned my back on him. I felt his heavy arm on my shoulder.

"Come on. Just one night! We'll just scout the forest then if you feel a little bit uncomfortable then we'll go home. Deal?" I looked at my best friend eye to eye to see if he is telling the truth. When I finally saw it, I sighed.

"Fine. One night and that's it."

We got here together. Then we ended up getting separated with each other. Good thing it's the start of our term break. Meaning no school for a month. That will be a nice break for all of us students. But also a pain in the ass when school will start again. Teachers will give projects assignments and shit…

I sighed and took out my phone. No signal. Great! How am I going to contact Thatch now?! Damn! I sat on the tree just beside me and stared at the woods. Well, I got my bag with a notebook and pen for my sketches. Maybe I'll write and post it on a tree hoping for Thatch to stumble upon it?

Bringing out my pen and notebook, I started to write. The moon is full so I can clearly see somehow what I'm writing.

Thatch,

I went home already. No. I'm currently lost. Just so you know, where the fuck are you?! No signal, no phone in this fucking forest. Can't call you. Whatever. Just make a sign. Scream my name and hopefully I'll be able to find you.

Ace

I put my pen back at my bag and tear the page of my notebook. I looked around and saw a pointy branch so I stick the paper there. Fixing my things, I started to walked again.

It's been an hour and I am still in the forest. Lost. I'm lost. I don't know where I am. I stopped and scanned my surroundings. I've been here before right? Damn! I give up. I shut my eyes and listen. If I can't find the road to home, then better listen to it. There is silence. I hear nothing. No crickets, bugs or anything. Then out of the silence, I heard a voice.

"Ace!" it is a fainted sound, but I know that voice. It's Thatch! I opened my eyes and looked around trying to identify where the voice is coming from.

"Ace! Where are you?!" I ran as fast as I could in his direction. I shouted. "I'm here Thatch! I'm coming!"

"Ace!" His voice is getting closer and closer. I gather my whole stamina and sprinted in his direction. Because I was so occupied listening to my friend's voice, I tripped in the root of a tree. I fell face flat on the ground. I grunted in pain but good thing I fell on a grassy ground. I slowly stood up and was about to shout Thatch's name when I heard his voice. But this time, he sounded like… pleading?

"Ace! Run!" Run? Why? I slowly kneeled on the ground. Are we not alone in this forest? I silently crawled my way on Thatch's direction. He's near. I know. I continue to crawl and stopped when I reached a bush. I slowly shoved the small branches for me to see the other side, and I wish I didn't.

There I saw Thatch… his wrists are tied in the branch of a tree. He's… bleeding. He must have heard me because he looked at my direction and he mouthed 'Go'. His head is oozing with blood. This made my heart beat pound hard. All I have to say is, I'm scared for both of our lives. But he is still my friend…

I tried to looked around. I saw no one but us, so I stood up and hurriedly went to his direction. He looked at me, disapproving at what I was doing. I started to untie his bounds.

"I told you to go…" I glanced at him and smirked.

"I don't leave a brother behind." I successfully untied his bounds and caught him before he dropped on the ground. Thatch is bleeding so I need to stop it. I let his back gently leaned on the tree that he was hanging a while ago. I looked around and saw a herb. I took it and tried to squeeze its juice with my fingers. When the juice hits the wound, Thatch flinched. That's when I notice something is wrong with him. His panting and I could see it...

Fangs...

Vampire? But… they're not real… right? I was caught off guard and I know he notice it. He looked at me and I saw blood red eyes. I dropped the herb and all I know my mind and body is not coordinating with each other. He seem to notice it and reached his hand to touched my face. I moved back. Not leaving my eyes on him, I was trying to crawl myself away. But it seems like I wasn't moving. He withdraw his hand and looked down. My mouth fell opened and all I can say is that I don't know what to feel. In fact, I don't even feel anything at all. With a fateful moment, I wounded myself while trying to crawl away. Thatch looked at me with the same eyes and I held my bleeding arm. I didn't know exactly what happen but I heard Thatch screaming.

I felt a sharp pain in my neck and I can feel my blood is escaping my body real quick. Another vampire? I know I'm screaming my hearts out but can't hear it. My vision is starting to get blurry. And the last thing I can remember is that I fell into the ground.
