Whitechapel Hill

It's me again Cody Matthews, I'm that teenager who lives in Whitechapel, a small town that people don't care about, I may seem like any normal fourteen year old boy but I'm not. I'm actually a vampire. I've lived in Whitechapel for a couple of months and throughout those months lots of crazy stuff happened.

Whitechapel is a breeding ground for supernatural beings such as vampires, witches, and all sorts of different creatures, it's also the main reason of why I've almost been killed so many times. I've faced, fought, and defeated many supernatural creatures that I've lost count, my friends and seem to be the only people dealing with this stuff. I don't know how many more time this will happen to me again.

I was in my bedroom tying my shoes, I had a permission slip on my desk for the grade nine field trip to Whitechapel hill. Whitechapel hill is what we were learning about in history class, besides all the wars and other crap our teacher thought it was a good idea to teach us about the community.

Whitechapel hill is where the first residents settled in the 1800s and it rests on hill just outside of the actual town. I slipped my backpack over my shoulders and headed downstairs and suddenly I heard the familiar surprising voice.

"Hey, Cody!"

I almost tripped and turned around to see my friend Rory Keaner. He's one of those guys that people do not like to hang out with, but at least I can put up with him. He's shorter than me and has pale blonde hair and just like me he is also a vampire.

"Rory, how did you get there?" I said.

Rory was behind me on top of the stairs.

"I used vampire ninja skills to get up here."

"How did you even get into my house?"

"Jacob let me in," we both said in unison.

Jacob is my thank goodness to be mortal younger brother, I don't know how awkward it will be by the time he's thirty and I'll still look fourteen. We both walked down the stairs and out the house, there we were both surprised by Ethan and Benny falling to the ground. Wow two surprises today and it's not even noon yet.

"Ugh! Benny, please don't invite me to test your broomstick!"

As Ethan started to get up a broomstick with two bike seats and handles fell from the sky and hit Ethan on the head knocking him to the ground again.

"Aaaaarrgh!" Ethan groaned in both pain and frustration.

"Where did you find that?" I asked.

"It was in my grandma's basement, she said I could have it, but then I had to read this long and boring manual so I just took it and went."

"Okay," I said in a sarcastic tone.

"I'm never going on that thing again!" Ethan said sounding a bit traumatized.

"I'll go!" Rory joyfully volunteering.

The two got onto the broomstick, Benny was in front while Rory was in the back. The two took off into the sky at such a fast speed that we couldn't see them anymore. It just left me and Ethan.

"So how bad was it," I asked Ethan.

"Talk about horrible, we went so high into the air that we suffocated."

By this point we were talking and walking on our way to school.

"Wow that sounds horrible, I'm starting to think how can Benny get away with these magical acts."

"Beats me, so we tried to land on the roof of your house, but the broom snapped in half once we got to your bedroom window."

"So that's how you ended up on my porch. By the way how could your broom snap in half, it was in on piece when it fell on you."

"The broom can magically fix itself."

I then looked up into the sky, it was partly cloudy and nice, but the weather seemed nippy.

"So are you going on that field trip tomorrow?" I asked changing the subject.

"Yeah, I just want it to be over with, I'm afraid that going there will conjure us into another situation that could possibly kill us."

"It's been almost four weeks since the elevator incident."

"Yeah, I know, I'm just worried."

"So, between each supernatural situation we've been through the relaxation deadline was around two weeks, I think everything's done there's nothing else to worry about."

"I'm still not so sure, one time we went eight months without anything supernatural happening but stuff started to happen again."

"Ethan, I think you need to relax. You get too worried about what's real and what's not real."

"Cody, are you mad or something. Do you even remember what we've been through? You're acting like this stuff never happened."

"True, but we just have to learn how to relax every once and a while."

"You're starting to scare me now."

"I'm just telling the truth."

"Who are you and what have you done to Cody?" Ethan said sarcastically.

We both stopped talking once we got into the front entrance of the school. Ethan and I dropped our permission slips in the office. We both headed down the hall until Rory and Benny ran up to greet us.

"You guys should of been there it was amazing!" Rory said with excitement.

"I was there and it was terrifying."

"So what did you guys do?" I asked.

"Well first we took off into the sky all the way up until there was a decrease in gravity and oxygen so we flew back down and did a few loops I almost fell off a few times it was crazy!"

"Okay Benny, what drugs are you taking?"

"Wow, Cody, you're such a party pooper."

I was getting sick of people saying that I was too serious and never had any fun in my life, I feel like my job is to make sure that everyone is safe. I looked over and saw Sarah and Erica. They were are other friends and also vampires. I saw them putting permission slips in the basket. I thought this trip was for grade nine's only.

"You two are also going on the trip?" I asked them.

"Yeah, turns out student chaperones were needed so we both signed up?" Sarah said.

"You two signed up? How could that even happen in a million of years?" Benny asked.

"It's because we both got detention!" Erica said frustrated, "I need a bite!"

Erica stormed off, she wasn't in the best mood today, or any day.

"What did you two do?" I asked.

"Erica wanted a meal and she thought that drinking the animal blood in the science lab would help. I didn't do anything, I was actually trying to get her to stop. Principle Hicks caught the both of us and now we have to chaperone this field trip."

Sarah stormed off the same way Erica did, she was frustrated.

"Okay, why would the school trust blood drinkers chaperoning kids on a field trip?" Ethan asked.

"I don't know why, I've seen a lot more crazier stuff in Whitechapel."

I walked into my science class right before the bell rang, I sat near Rory who had his textbook out and turned to a certain page. Our teacher Mr. Goldstein came in about two minutes later with a bunch of old torn down books.

"Okay class, today we are not using our textbooks. Today we'll be using these books," he said holding them up.

Each row of desks got one box filled with books, the person at the front had to take them and pass a book back. Once I got my copy of the book I looked at the title.

History of Whitechapel Hill. I couldn't even believe that they wrote an entire book on the history of Whitechapel. You'd think that a small town like this wouldn't have much of a history. We opened up the first page.

The book started out with a man named Reverend Horace Black who was a cult leader at the time. That was the man who found the town. I pretty much knew about the history of Whitechapel since it has helped me defeat all of these monsters and has helped me survive. So I just put my head down into the book and slept all of class period

Sorry it took so long to write a sequel, I just wasn't feeling up to it. By the way this story is a little bit inspired by Silent Hill and A Nightmare on Elm Street which are two of my favourite films.

Also Vanessa Morgan (Sarah) is going to be on The Amazing Race Canada so I hope that everyone who reads this story supports her. I want her to win so badly!
