BEEP, the alarm clock went. Edd struggled a bit but was able to silence the irritating thing. He looks at the clock which was probably the only light in the dark room; 6:30 am. Usually Edd would have no problems hoping out of bed and starting his daily routine, but ever since the redhead across the street from him went missing, he hasn't been himself lately.
It was about a month ago that Kevin disappeared; He went to a house party that was being held at one of his teammates' house. The kids that were there said that they saw him leave on his motorcycle around three o'clock in the morning, but he never came home. Edd would know that Kevin was home because he would wake up to the sound of Kevin's motorcycle pulling up in his driveway, but he didn't hear it. When Edd woke up, the police were outside of Kevin's house and asking all of the neighbors questions. Since then, Edd hasn't been able to do the things that he usually does. Yes, he still went to school and kept his house clean, but he was so worried about Kevin he couldn't really focus on them.
Luckily it was a weekend, so arriving to school on time wasn't a main priority. He laid back down on his bed and pulled the covers back on him, up to his shoulders. He stared up at the ceiling, thinking about the last he saw and even talked to Kevin. It was around Late November, Edd and Kevin were sitting in Edd's living room for a study session. Kevin was never really good at chemistry and math so he asked Edd for help. Out of topic, Kevin asked Edd about his plans for Christmas.
"Man, I can't stand this crap. How are you so good at this, dork?" Kevin asked as he slammed his head on the kitchen table. "Patience Kevin, you'll get through this. You're smarter than you think, you just need to put a little more effort into your school work instead of your popularity." Edd said as he ruffled Kevin's red hair. Kevin never really admit to this, but he actually kinda liked it when Edd's hand would run through his hair; It comforts him. "So what should we start on next?" Edd said as he opened up one of the textbooks. "Actually, could we…" Kevin took the book out of Edd's hands and placed it closed on the table. "Take a break for a bit? I wanna ask you something." Edd blinked in confusion. "Oh, uh…o-of course, Kevin. What's your question?"
Kevin rested his elbow on the back of the chair and placed the side of his face in his palm.
"I was wondering what you wanted for Christmas?" Kevin asked curiously. "What?" Edd asked in confusion. "You heard me, Double Dork. Is there something you want for Christmas this year?" Kevin asked again, this time with a hint of seriousness in his voice, "Oh! N-No, Kevin. You don't have to get me anything, really." Edd was blushing of embarrassment. "It's not worries, Dork. You've helped me out a lot with this school work, it's the least I can do to show my thanks." "That's very sweet of you, Kevin. But really, you don't have to get me anything, I'm just happy to help you with your school work." Edd said looking down at the book, blushing and smiling in embarrassment. "Okay, I won't…But if I were to, not saying I will. What would you want?" Kevin still asked, this time he was smiling as if he was joking. "Well…There is this book I found at the book store."
And that was the last time Edd saw Kevin. It was a week before Christmas and Kevin was still nowhere to be found.
"Oh Kevin, where are you?" Edd said and fell back to sleep.
Three hours later, Edd was sitting on his sofa watching the morning news, drinking a cup of coffee and still in his pajamas. A woman named Michelle Abbe was on the to.
"In other news, the Peach Creek animal attacks is still being investigated by police and animal control. The recent attack was found in the Peach Creek Junk Yard where 17-year-old Terrance Daves was attacked by the mysterious animal." Said Michelle Abbe. "That's the twelfth attack this month." Said Edd as he took a sip of his coffee.
A week after Kevin went missing, people have been getting attacked by some kind of animal who is roaming around the town at night, mainly in the junk yard. Everyone thinks it could be some wild dog or a coyote, but no one really knows for sure. People who have been attacked would always wind up in the hospital, some ended up dead.
"Police have let out a warning to stay indoors during night fall and if you're out late be sure not to be out by yourself and stay away from the Peach Creek junk yard. With that, I'm Michelle Abbe with the Saturday morning news."
Edd sat his cup on the table and went upstairs to take a shower. He shut the door and turned on the shower. The sound of water splashing echoed throughout the house. Edd took off his pajama shirt and pants before he took off his sleeping cap, letting his jet black hair fall onto his shoulders and his bangs covering half of his face. He was looking at himself in the mirror, completely naked. His skin was pale, he had little muscle on him, and he was quite curvy. If anything, he could be mistaken for a very flat chested woman. He pulled the curtains back a little and stepped in the shower, the water was warm and it felt good on his skin. He washed his body, face, and his hair until he was clean, cut off the water, and stepped out of the shower. Wrapping his robe around himself he left the bathroom and for the entire day he did nothing but chill at home and clean. Around nine o'clock in the evening, Edd woke up to the sound of a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" he yelled. "It's us, Sock head!" It was Eddy's voice from the other side of the door.
Edd got up and walked over to the answer the door, before he did he put on his black hat that he left off all day. He opened the door and there was Ed and Eddy standing there in the doorway. Eddy was wearing a puffy blue coat with a red scarf and hat, dark blue skinny jeans and dark brown timberland boots. Ed was in a green coat wearing his hat that covered his ears, dark green mittens, black straight pants, and black sneakers.
"Good evening, gentlemen. What're doing here so late?" Edd asked. "Hiya Double D." Said Ed as he warmed his arms around Double D and lifted him up in a slightly tight bear hug. "Oh! Hello to you, too, Ed." Edd giggled. "If you don't mind could you put me down, your kind of crushing me." He squeaked. "Get you coat on, Sock head. We're going to the junk yard." Edd's widen as Ed sat him down. "Eddy, have you not heard the news lately? Something has been attacking people at night, especially around the junk yard. Why do you need to go there?" Edd asked with concern and anger in his voice. "I know that, Double D, but there's something I need to get from there and I need some help getting it. I left the things in the old van there. You know, the purple one with the flames on it. I really need it, so just slip you shit on and come on." Eddy explained, Edd folded arms in disapproval and pouted his lips. "We'll be back before you know it, I promise."
Now the three Eds were walking around in the junk yard, the only lights they had were flashlights and Ed's helmet.
"Eddy, I really suggest we come back here in the morning…When it's safe." Said Edd. "No way. I need this thing; it can't wait until morning." "And what exactly is this thing that can't till morning?" Eddy glanced over his shoulder to look at edd but quickly looked away, his face tinted pink. "It's something important, that's all you need to know."
Edd let out an annoyed grunt as they continued walking to the old van. Suddenly, Edd heard a noise, something growling at them from a distance.
"What was that?" Edd panicked a little. "What's wrong Double D?" Ed asked. "D-Didn't you hear that? It sounded like growling." Edd looked around but saw nothing. "Your hallucinating, Sock head. Now come on, we're almost there." Eddy continued to walk Ed following behind him. Edd looked around once more, his flashlight moving from spot to spot. "Let's go, Sock head!" Eddy yelled.
Edd turned quickly to catch up with his friends, he glanced over his shoulder once more before he continued walking, but he felt something was following them. Finally, they arrived at the old van. Eddy opened the back doors, it was dark, but with the light from the flashlights, they revealed a reddish pink fur rug and the driver seats were a velvet color.
"Hold this." Eddy handed Edd his flashlight and climbed into the van. "God damn it, where is it?" he mumbled as he brushed his hands quickly through the rugged floor. "Eddy, what are you looking for?" "It's a pendant I want to give to someone for Christmas alright?" Said Eddy. "That's still not telling us anything." Said Edd. "Look…" Eddy turned around to face Double D. "I don't have time to argue with you right now, I gotta find this thing. So you can either help me out really quick, or go back home? Either way, I'm not leaving without this pendant." With that Eddy went back to finding his soon to be someone's Christmas present. "Fine. Here, Ed." Edd handed Eddy's flashlight to him. "I'm going home. It's too cold out here anyway." And just like that Edd left, heading back to the cul-de-sac.
Unfortunately, being as cold and tired as he was, Edd somehow lost his way in the junk yard.
"Oh great, where am I?" Edd asked himself.
Then he heard the noise again, the same sound of growling from earlier. Edd got frightened, his heart started racing. He looked around, his flashlight pointing in every direction, until it landed on something…something with red hair…familiar red hair.
"Kevin?" Edd asked, he began to walk closer. "K-Kevin? I-Is that you?" He stopped moving when he heard growling again, the figure walked closer into the light. "Hey, Double Dork."
There he was, alive and well. Kevin the star athlete of Peach Creek High, the most popular and handsomest guy in school, and he was staying right in front of Edd. He was still in the same clothes he went missing in, a pair of red and white Nikes, washed out skinny jeans, his letterman sports jacket, a black t-shirt, and his signature red hat.
"Kevin!" Edd dropped the flashlight and ran over to Kevin, he jumped and ran his arms around Kevin. He felt Kevin wrapping his arms around his waist, it felt good.
"What happened to you? Where have you been? I've been so worried. Everyone, even your parents, are wondering where you are right now." Edd said almost tearfully. "I can explain later, but I can't go back home right now… not like this." Said Kevin
He pulled back and looked at Kevin's face…there was something different about him.
"Kevin…There's something different about you." Edd said as he reached up to touch Kevin's cheek.
When his finger brushed against the side of Kevin's face, he pulled back his hand very quickly with a surprised look on his face.
"Kevin…Why are you so cold? How long have you been here? We should get you home." Edd went over to get the flashlight.
He picked the flashlight off the ground where dropped, when turned around Kevin was standing in front of him. Edd jumped back in surprised, almost falling back on his butt if Kevin hadn't grabbed him and pulled him to his chest.
"Edd, I can't go to my house. I'm not sure if I can even go back to the cul-de-sac. Something happened to me…something really bad, and it's hard to control it." Kevin sounded slightly and concerned. "Kevin, what are you talking about?" Edd asked concerned, Kevin stepped away from Edd, turning away and looking down at his hands. "Kevin…y-you're scaring me." "Edd..."
Without warning, Kevin pulled Edd's coat off of one of his shoulders, exposing his neck. Kevin could see the small blood vain pumping, he nuzzled into Edd's neck and took a whiff of his scent. Edd faces turned red, he could feel his body heating up. Kevin licked his neck, the feel of his cold tongue made him shiver. Kevin pulled away and that when Edd saw his eyes change from an emerald green, to blood shot red. The color in Edd's face vanished as fear took place as he looked in Kevin's eyes, then he saw fangs form in Kevin's mouth.
"K-Kevin?" "Forgive me for this, Edd."
Kevin opened his mouth wide for his fangs to be seen clearly and let out a loud growl before he stuck his fangs into Edd's neck. Edd let out a loud scream as he felt the sharp teeth pierce his skin like knives and felt the blood being drain out of his body, his strength leaving him until he was down on his knees, Kevin still holding him close and his grip on him becoming tighter the every drank he took. So much blood was being drained from Edd's body, he felt dizzy and his eyes starting to close.
Soon, everything went black.
