Chapter 9
2nd January 2013
Dear diary,
Karl owns this camp place, where you go if you have no one and nowhere to turn to. He say that 'this' place is where he came when he had no one to turn to and someone helped him, so he is now helping the people who have no one and where to turn to.
I saw Sara this morning, she was yelling at Karl for waking her up.
"Nothing changes." I say as a joke.
"He started it." She said in defence.
"Nothing new there then." I say.
"He rang me at 3am this morning. I was asleep." She said complaining. "He is so dead." She ran off to shout at Karl. I went into a room, no one else was in there. Karl knows I shouldn't be left alone, but he is not here, it just me.
My arm bleeding, I had picked at the scabs that spell out 'I'm sorry'. Then someone walked in. I knew I was dead when Karl found out. I was expecting him to run to Karl, but didn't.
"What's your name?" He asked. I knew there was no point lying.
"Erin." I replied.
"Nice to meet you, Erin. My name is Robin, Robin Branagh." Robin said. I had heard the name before, but at that moment I can't remember where. He looked down at my arm, he saw the 'blood' rushing down it. "What made you do it, if you not mind me asked?"
So I told him all about Vlad.
"When I was younger I had I friend called Vlad, he was a vampire but he never want to be one, he tried everything to stop himself from becoming one. I offend wonder if he ever stopped himself from one." He said.
That's where I heard the name Robin Branagh, from Vlad. "Did you once live in Stokely?" I ask quietly.
"Yeah, I grow up there. Why?" Robin said.
"So you are the famous Robin then." I said.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Your best friend when you were 13, was he called Vladimir Dracula?" I asked.
"Yeah." he said.
"No he didn't get out of becoming a Vampire." I said.
"How do you know?" He asked.
"It's the same Vlad. The Vlad you knew when you were 12 is the same Vlad I knew a few months ago." I said. I had finally met Vlad's best friend. I know I should tell Vlad where he is but if I did that I could be putting him in danger. So I will leave it for now.
Erin Noble
