Except my OC. You'll meet her in the next chapter.
"I want to find it." Darren said before he could think.
"Find what exactly?" asked Mr. Crepsley.
"The star..." Darren said, then realized how it sounded. "Well it's not like it could be that far away..." he said, trying to justify his strange request.
Mr. Crepsley sighed. "Why is it that you want to do this?" he said warily. "We need to keep going if we want to get there soon."
"Oh, come on! It can't be that far away. Besides, I haven't done anything fun in ages." Darren complained.
"I do not see how you think of this as fun..." Mr. Crepsley muttered.
"I'm up for it, as long as you guys quit talking for long enough for me to sleep..." Gavner said, slinking his back into the sleeping bag.
"But-" Mr. Crepsley started to protest.
"Did you not get the hint? STOP TALKING." groaned Gavner, then started to go back to sleep again.
The next day they started walking in the direction of the fallen star. This time Darren was the one walking in the front, and Mr. Crepsley was the one dragging behind. He still didn't like the idea of getting sidetracked by something unimportant.
"How will we know where it is, anyways?" Gavner asked, starting to get unsure of this himself. "Or are we just walking in circles until we see something?"
"We're not walking in circles." Darren assured, even though he wasn't too sure of it himself. "Besides," he said, "didn't you see the size of it? It must've left some type of trail."
They walked for a few hours before they started to get tired and it started to get pitch black with night time. They hadn't found anything, and the little people had started to get rather violent when Darren ignored their pleas for food. After one of the little people started swinging a fallen tree branch around, Darren decided it would be a good time to take a rest and make camp.
Mr. Crepsley made a small fire for light while Gavner set up the sleeping bags and tents. Darren went out into the forest to get some food for the rowdy Little People.
He was sneaking up behind an unknowing rabbit when he heard a loud roar. It sounded like an angry bear. The rabbit got scared and ran away. Darren groaned and started looking for another animal, when he heard something else.
A scream.
It sounded like a young girl. Darren put two and two together and realized that the girl was probably being attacked by the bear. Another scream confirmed his suspicions. He ran in the dark looking for whoever was in trouble. He wondered for a moment what a young girl was doing on vampire mountain. Maybe she was lost. He didn't have time to think about it then. He ran as fast as he could, faster than any normal human. He half wished he was a full vampire then, so he would be able to flit. He skidded to a stop when he nearly fell in a hole. Wait... it wasn't a hole... it was a crater!
Sorry that this was kind of short too. I'll post the next one soon. REVIEW, PLEASE!
