Chapter 4
Miranda yawned and stretched her arms as she sat up in bed, feeling much better after that nap and the medicine she took. "Great nap." she said to herself as she hopped off of the bed and opened her bedroom door. Quietly, she tiptoed to the stairs and peered through the bars to see her uncle sitting infront of the fireplace with a glass of blood in his hands. She smiled mischievously to herself. Now, how to make his life a living hell. She thought as she pondered on what ideas she could use.
Her train of thought was broken by her cell phone vibrating nosily on the table. Quickly, she went back to her room and picked it up. "Hello? Oh, hi Brad." Miranda smiled cheerfully at the sound of her crush on the phone. They haven't been together long, but Miranda was really starting to like him. He was nice, sweet, caring, and loved to hang out with her. "Dinner? Tonight? Oh, well my parents aren't here right now. No, my uncle is watching me. I'll have to go ask him before we make any plans. Ok, bye." Miranda smiled dreamily as she hung up the phone. "I hope Uncle Damon agrees to let me go." Miranda ran excitedly downstairs and smiled up at her uncle with big brown eyes.
Damon looked down at his now awake niece. He knew she wanted something when she looked at him like that. "What do you want?"
Miranda shifted uncomfortably. "Well, this guy, Brad called and wanted to take me out to dinner and possibly a movie if we have time."
"And who is this Brad?" Damon said, not liking where this was going.
"Well, he's this guy from school. He's cute and he's a real sweetheart. Can I please go? Pretty please?" Miranda stared up at him with big brown eyes and a smile spread across her face.
Damon sighed. "What do your parents think about him?"
"My mom doesn't care."
Damon raised an eyebrow. "And you're dad?"
Miranda sighed. "Dads always care when they're daughter goes out. It's called being too over protective."
Damon nodded. "Well, if you're mom doesn't mind, then I guess its ok. Just don't be out too late, ok?"
Miranda nodded, jumping up and hugging Damon. "Oh thank you so much! I'll go tell Brad we have a date!"
Damon watched her bolt upstairs and shook his head as he drank some blood. "Teenagers."
The sound of a car honking outside made Damon look up as he watched Miranda descend from the stairs wearing a blue dress and heels with earrings and a bit of make up on her face. "How do I look?"
Damon smiled as he looked her over. Not bad. he thought. She knows how to clean up. "You look great. Have fun."
Miranda smiled at him as she walked out to the red car waiting for her. "Bye Uncle Damon!"
"Bye kid!" Damon sighed in peace when he heard the door shut. Finally he was alone. But for some reason he couldn't seem to shake off this bad feeling deep in his stomach, like something bad was going to happen to Miranda.
