I don't know how to start this, I mean I know it should be easy but man it… it's harder then what I suspected it would be writing everything finally telling the truth about what happen but it's… hard. Can you give me awhile to get used to this please? Okay I think I should start with a simple introduction.

I'm not dead.

Ponyboy is.

Dallas isn't dead. Well not yet anyways… I need to find out what he wants to find out.

And the gang is broken.

I'll start how it all happens now.. It would make sense. It started when I was thirteen. My folks still yelled at each and went at each other throats but they never hit me back then. Back then we were such a good (not) family. I never wanted to die, I was happy and felt like I was worth something. And I don't blame him for taking that away from me. Let me get back on point I happen to do that a lot.

See me and my folk were up watching' an old movie Dracula. My mom and dad sat at either end of the couch and I was in the middle watching the movie at peace for one, we didn't have many times when we could do that anymore since I had more work to do and they had to get a daily dose of fighting in. we were half way in when I had to get a weed, it's been a whole 3 hours and that's a long time to go without one (considering how tense the air was here) so I lied and said I needed to help Pony-one of my best friends- with his homework. If anything I needed help with nine but I didn't want to ask an 11 year old for help.

"Be careful Johnny." My mother said, the concern in her eyes were completely evident, I know she was worried.

"He ain't dumb!" my father yelled at her.

'That's not what she meant..' I thought as I left the house money in my pocket to buy a new pack, I smoke the last one just 3 ours ago so I needed a new one.

What were my parents worried about? Someone was going around and killing folks some say drinking their blood first then ripping off the head. Pony says it's a vampire but I didn't believe him. Vampires aren't real everyone knows that. And yeah be here in this small ass town?

Sighing I continuing my walk to the store.

Shhh!

What was that? Looking around I didn't see anything behind me. Hell there were only starring buildings nothing to worry about. The air was still just like my heart and the tension.

It's nothing I thought shaking my head and continuing on my way. But in truth I knew something was going to happen even before I heard footsteps and hands grabbing my shoulders.

"Where you going Greaser?"

Sighing I turned around to a smile of white teeth.

"Hey Johnnycake!" Two-bit yelled still grinning. This was of course because he scared me.

After a small talk and getting my pack I was strolling down the same street the night air peaceful and quite the only light was the moon and nothing else.

I was grabbed then.
