The young boy, looked nervous he had no idea what he was doing. He stopped in front of the balcony door and pulled it open. He wanted to know what his best friend was doing. He just had to know. He closed the door and lent against it. Breathing heavily, waiting.

When everyone has left he started slowly up the stairs, his heart pounding. There was a sudden rush of air and the boy was carried back down the stairs and through the door at the bottom.

"Don't kill me!" He yelled, petrified of the thing that carted him away.

The thing ripped of his hood and his mask. The boy screamed it was the most grotesque thing he has ever seen. Big green eyes like saucers, a grey stitched together face and a huge gaping mouth with pointed teeth. It raised its stubby arms and lurched at the shivering boy.

He screamed again and ran for his life. The boy ran all the way down the street and didn't stop. He was heading for home; he never wanted to back there again.

"Careful little fella." A voice said.

The boy crashed into the voice and fell backwards. He scrambled up and prepared to run again.

The owner of the voice stood up and caught him before he ran.

The boy looked up, the owner of the voice was a tall female who looked to be in her mid 30. She had long dark hair, which hung loose.

"Let me go!" He yelled struggling to get loose.

"Why are you so scared?" She asked.

"Evil, big, ugly thing!" He panted. Pointing to the theatre in the distance.

"Show me." She said.

The boy shook his head.

"Come on. Do you want to live in fear?" She asked taking him by the hand. "What's your name?" She asked as they walked back down the street.

"Darren." He muttered.

"I'm Arra. Come on, show me this evil being."

By the time they got back to the theatre, Darren was calm enough to have explained what had happened.

"Sounds to me, like you were scared by a Little Person." Arra said, as she walked through the front door.

Darren hesitated, before following Arra.

Arra was already talking to Mr Tall, when Darren finally arrived.

Arra smiled, "Mr Tall appolgises, for the behaviour of the Little Person. Come on let's go find your friend."

Arra led Darren to the door and pushed it open, so he could see and here what was happening.

"What's wrong?" Another boy asked a man with red hair.

The man screamed, "You have bad blood!"

Darren took a step back, what was going on? Arra placed her hand on his shoulder stopping him from going anywhere.

"I will not make you a vampire," The man said, "You must forget about it. Go home and get on with your life."

"No!" The boy screamed. Arra swiftly moved Darren out if the way and pulled him into the shadows as the boy ran out of the auditorium.

Darren started after him, but Arra held him back as the balcony door opened, and the Little Person who had scared Darren early walked out, and went swiftly towards the exit.

Arra let go of Darren. "Face your fears Darren. One day you'll need to be fearless." She gave Darren a small push then smiled as he bolted out the theatre and on to the street.

She stood up and walked into the auditorium, "Larten?" She called and the orange haired man came out from the wings of the stage.

Mr Tall also appeared. "Well done Arra, now we wait."

"That Little Person seemed to be heading in your direction." Arra said as she walked towards Larten.

"Yes." Mr Tall mussed, "And if it is who I think it is, then I must go act surprised."

"Who is it?" Larten asked giving Arra a quick squeeze.

"You will soon find out." He said walking towards the wings. "Now you two lovebirds behave, we have a Destiny to fulfil."
