~His Eyes Shine~
Chapter 2
(One week later)
"Annabelle! Dottie's on the phone for you!"
What the fluck? How did she even get our number? I pulled myself away from the beloved sketch pad, stuck my pencil in my ear, and ran downstairs.
"Hello?"
"Annabelle? Hi dear!"
"..."
"...Um, I just wanted to know if you were available tongiht? Me and Bob have a buisness party to go to, and we don't really know any babysitters around..."
"...You want me to babysit Tony?"
"Yes, please dear?"
My mom was gesturing me to say yes. Eavesdropper.
"Uh, ok I guess..."
"Thanks! Come by in five minutes ok?"
I hung up. Five bloody mintues? That's so freaking soon. Like really soon. It made me angry.
I stomped up the stairs to my room and put my sketch pad in my messenger bad, put a coat on, and was on my five minute trek to the Thompson house.
...
Finally making it, I knocked on the door and tapped my foot impatiently. It was sunset soon, I wanted to be indoors.
Dottie opened the door and let me in.
"Hi Annabelle! Thanks again for doing this!" She could've added, 'On such a short notice' too. But whatever.
She continued, "I need him in bed by nine, teeth brushed, face washed as well. The cell numbers are on the fridge too, ok?"
I nodded and climbed the stairs, determined to find Tony's room by myself.
I saw a door that was slightly opened and walked in. Tony was a desk, drawing. He looked up.
"Oh, hey Belly."
"Hey Tony." I see I got a nickname.
"So your babysitting me?"
"Yup." I popped the 'p'. Hehe, that sounds akward.
'Oh, Jenny guess what! I popped the 'p' with Daniel!'
I have a sick mind.
I looked over Tony's shoulder to see that he was drawing a red faced vampire.
Great, now I have the urge to draw a vampire. I honestly don't know where it came from. But whenever I have a muse, I don't ignore it.
I got out my sketch pad and colored pencils and started to draw a little vampire girl, with flowing blonde hair. I also colored her eyes to be crystal blue. I drew her dress to in Victorian style. It was red.
I was very proud of it.
Me and Tony were drawing in silence.
I looked down at the vampire girl I just drew. I had an odd feeling of deja vu.
I looked at Tony's desk again, and saw a drawing of a red crystal thing. It was drawn really pretty for a nine year old.
"Tony, can I have this?" I asked him.
"I guess."
I picked it up and stuck it in my messenger bag.
...
"Tony, what are doing?"
"Being a vampire. Do you believe in vampires?"
I swear that kid is obsessed. He just cut out fangs and stuck them in his mouth. He got a cape around his neck, and a bottle of ketchup on his desk. I am not cleaning the mess I know is about to happen.
"Yeah I guess..."
"Well, your the first." Tony turned away from me.
I looked at the clock. Eight forty.
"Hey dude, bed time soon. Go get ready."
He turned back at me. Then away. Hissed. And then ignored me. Obsessed.
I'd tackle him if he wasn't so tiny.
He started chanting weird words.
"Ab ovo, in totto!"
And then he did the most weirdest thing ever.
He got into an intimate moment with a stuffed monkey. By intimate, I meant he was pretending to suck it's blood.
Er...
I looked away.
Suddenly, I saw something go into Tony's fire place really fast. What the..?
I guess Tony saw it too, but he was staring at the window. I moved closer to the fireplace, Tony ran quickly to my side.
And inside the fireplace... was something really incredibale.
A boy. About my age. Spikey black hair. Old clothing. Pale skin.
But oddly enough,
Fangs.
"Is it safe, brother? Can I fly now?"
I was silent. This, this...vampire, was very...adorable. In a attractive way.
Shut up, Belle.
But what kind of nonsence is he talking about? Tony isn't his brother.. right?
That might explain his obsession.
Tony started mumbling, and his 'fangs' fell out.
This vampire must've felt really stupid for believing Tony was a vampire. Like really?
But he hissed at us. I jumped back, Tony stayed put.
"You are not a brother!" The vampire said.
"Well, obviously not. You must feel stupid" I'm just granting my death wish, ain't I?
The vampire showed off his fangs. "Your have blood flowing through your veins!"
Tony yelped and ran behind me.
I grabbed his hang.
"Yes, and we'd prefer to keep it that way!" I said, and ran with Tony to the door.
But that damn vampire was fast. He ran in front of us, and we bumped into him. Honestly, he didn't smell that bed. For an undead guy, anyway.
Me and Tony ran behind the desk.
So I admit it. I was scared...
Until the vampire tripped and fell. Smooth. I wanted to giggle, but I didn't. I mean, he still was a vampire after all.
...
So that was chapter two, tell me what you think? Btw, I knew it was supposed to be longer then the first. But I lied. :3
