Chapter Two
The next morning Sam stared at her ceiling for what had seemed like forever…thinking of the events that had occurred the night before. She had come in before her parents and brother the night before…and hadn't seen them yet this morning. She looked over at the black handkerchief laying on her nightstand. She sighed and took it into her hands. It was stained with tears…and the comment that she heard from one of Jared's friends came flooding back into her head. "Who does that freak think she is talking to the Pumpkin Prince?" She tried to shake it out… 'Why do I even bother going out anywhere…half the people don't know who I am…and the other just think I'm a freak…' Sam shook her head, closed her eyes and fell asleep once again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile…Jared, Jack and Sally surrounded the breakfast table…
"Last night was really fun dad…I'm glad you let me help you with the Halloween Plans…now when do we get started on next year's plans?" Jared stated, grabbing a piece of toast.
"You're starting to sound like the Mayor…We will start…whenever we start…now just eat." Jack answered, taking a bite of his piece of toast. "Where is your sister anyways…I haven't seen her today?" He said through bites.
"Jared could you go and see if she is awake." Sally said putting the juice on the table.
"Sure mother." Jared got up from the table and made his way up the stairs. He knocked gently on the big black door, and when there was no answer, he quietly opened it, and slid in.
"Sam are you awake?" He whispered when there still was no response, he made his way closer the edge of her bed. He looked at her with concern, because he could see the streaks running down her face. He sat down beside her and gently woke his little sister up. "Sam you okay?…"
Sam groaned and rolled over, when she saw her brother there, there was an expression of sadness and anger that could not be explained on her face, she sat up and took the mirror from her nightstand, 'Damn makeup' She thought to herself. "I'm fine…" She snapped, as she got off the other side of her bed, and made her way towards her bathroom.
Jared thought back to last night…and then he remembered what Valerie said… 'Did she really hear what she said…did she hear what I said?' He thought to himself.
"Sam…You heard what Valerie said…" He paused… "Didn't you…" He flinched when Sam slammed the bathroom door. He walked over, and was now talking to the door. "I'm sorry…she didn't know what she was saying…but I-"
He was cut off by Sam's quivering voice. "Just go…"
Jared could hear her starting to cry once again…and decided just to leave her alone… '…I'm sorry Sam…' He whispered, as he closed Sam's door behind him.
Jared made his way back to the kitchen where his mother and father were…trying to think of an excuse…He entered the room. Jack and Sally both looked up and Jack spoke "Where's Sam?" Sally had a worried look on her face.
Jared spoke. "She is still sleeping…she looks really exhausted from last night. It's best to leave her sleep for a while." He then sat down, and finished eating his breakfast in silence.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam sat up against her bathtub, she wanted to be left alone…She needed to get out of the house, Sam just hoped that Jared hadn't said anything to Jack or Sally. She didn't need to deal with them too. She managed to stand up and ran the water to wash her face off, she just stared at herself in the mirror, for a few minutes. "Why?" was all she said and thought. She stood there for a few more minutes.
Sam opened the door slightly to see if the coast was clear, when she saw that Jared had left she stumbled her way to her door, pushed in the lock, and then stumbled over to her bed, and got under the covers once again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Darryl get up!" A loud male voice echoed through the cave.
"Uhhh….what…why…" Darryl mumbled loudly while he rustled in his coffin. He glanced at his alarm clock, it read 3:00pm. He groaned again.
"It's Veronica, she's at the entrance." The voice echoed once again.
He moaned in disbelief. 'What does she want now…' Darryl thought to himself as he made his way out of his room.
"Darryl!" Veronica screeched as he turned the corner.
"Not so loud…" Darryl rubbed his aching head "What do you want. It's only 3…This is too early for me…" Darryl mumbled peeling Veronica off of him.
"Ohh…me?…I just came over to say hello…It's not early! You should be up and around by now." Veronica cheerfully replied.
Darryl pointed at his fangs and then to his pointed ears "Hello! Vampire!" He stated sarcastically, still half asleep.
Veronica gave him a dirty look and pointed her nose up.
"Bye…" Darryl mumbled…as he turned around to return to his chambers.
"No wait…I came here to remind you about tomorrow…" Darryl looked back at her with a confused look "Don't tell me you forgot about my party? You're still coming aren't you?" Veronica stuttered with a sad look on her face.
"Whatever." Darryl answered turning back to his chambers.
Veronica squealed "Okay well see you around…I have a surprise for you on tomorrow…so you better show!" She then left the cave.
"Goody…I can't wait!" he said sarcastically…he returned to his room, he climbed back into his coffin, and pulled the covers up tight.
"So are you going to the party?" The same voice as before questioned, this time it belonged to a tall vampire, silver hair, he wore a black shirt and worn black jeans.
"Dad, can we not discuss this now," Darryl replied as he rolled over.
"Whatever…I think you should go…you need some time out of the caves." Darryls' father turned and left where he entered.
Darryl sighed and turned to stare at the roof of the cave. He still couldn't get Sam out of his mind, he really wanted to know why she was so upset. He had never seen her around before…and he found that odd…because even though he was fairly new to town…he knew mostly everyone around. 'Is she new?…' He thought for a moment… 'No…she cant be…they would have held a town meeting…I wonder…' He rolled over and fell asleep thinking of Sam.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam walked down the stairs, and entered the kitchen, there she found the rest of her family, just sitting and talking…they all glanced up at the sight of Sam.
"Good morning dear…How was your sleep?" Jack asked extending his arm. Sam walked over to her father, and gave him a hug. "Good…I guess…" She answered. Sally was next to speak. "Sam…how was your night? Jared told us that you looked exhausted." Sally walked over to Sam to give her a big hug.
Sam gave a fake smile. "Great…dad that stage in the center of town was a great idea…" She gave her father thumbs up.
Jack chuckled "It's was mostly Jared's idea…"
Sam looked at Jared and her smile disappeared…she didn't want to make it obvious that she was mad at Jared so she put another fake smile and said "Good job Jared."
Jared could tell that she wasn't very happy with him, he didn't want to make it worse, so he just smiled.
"Would you like something to eat Sam?" Sally asked walking over to the fridge
"No thanks mom, I'm not that hungry. I think that I'm just going to go out…I'll be back later."
Her parents nodded in approval. Sam rarely went out anywhere, and when she did it was during Halloween. So when Sam asked to go out…her parents knew that it was to the graveyard…
Sam put her hood up and slid her bags' strap over her head. She didn't know where she was going…but she just had to get out of that house for a while.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darryl rolled over, the sun was just about to set, as he decided it was time to get up. He slid on his boots, and walked over to his closet to put his shirt and coat on. He had to get out of the caves, before his father started again with the stupid party thing. He didn't even want to go to Veronica's party…but he knew that his father wouldn't approve of that. He snuck out his window and headed into town. He didn't know where he was going…he just walked around…thinking of Sam, and the smile she had on her face the night before. Darryl thought that Sam was the most beautiful creature that he had ever seen. Yet he was still confused about why she was crying the night before…He thought of possible scenarios…as he continued to walk along the streets, not watching where he was going.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam walked down the center of Halloween Town…thinking of Darryl. She could not get him out of her mind…he was the only person that actually seemed to care about her besides her own family. He actually talked to her, came over to her to see if she was okay…instead of turning his nose up at her like everyone else. The only question that seemed to enter her head was 'Why?' Why did he take the time to see if she was alright…She had her hood up and she was in deep thought, she didn't see where she was going, until she bumped into someone, she looked up to apologize. "I'm so sorr-" She stopped what she was saying when she realized who it was that she bumped into. She giggled "I'm sorry Darryl!"
Darryl had a giant smile on his face and laughed. "I'm sorry too, I didn't see where I was going either…" They both laughed. Darryl was the first to speak. "Where are you headed?"
Sam smiled. "I have no idea…just walking around I suppose. Where are you headed?"
Darryl smiled back "No where in particular…would you mind if I walked around with you?"
Sam nodded "Of course not…I would love the company."
