Chapter 11

Who the heck did this kid think he was, asking me such a stupid question? Of course I didn't believe in vampires. "Why are you asking?" I asked him, as I was waiting for his answer I noticed something in his eyes. A fierce hatred was locked tight and it looked like he wasn't going to let it go easily.

"Because a very good friend of mine was taken by one, and I want to get him back at any cost." I stared at him trying to figure out whether or not this was just a joke, but I still wanted to hear the rest of the story. "Alright but what makes you think that I believe you?"

He looked away, and as I bent down to pick up my stuff I got a flash of memory from the time I spent with one of the better foster families.

The wife hadn't come home late one night and still hadn't come home the next morning, this went on for a whole week before the husband finally put up missing posters. Another week past before her body turned up drained of blood in an abandoned boathouse.

A lot of rumors began to spread like the plague that it was a vampire that killed her, but I didn't believe the rumors until a few days later when the same thing happened to the husband.

After I remembered this I had to believe the kid. I looked up from my stuff and at the kid. "Steve, right?" He looked up at me. "Yeah what is it?" I looked at him and saw traces of tears running down his face, does that mean he was crying?

I spoke to him in a quiet resigned voice. "I'll help you, what do you want me to do?" He was shocked at first to hear that I would help but he soon got over it and started sprouting all these ideas he had for catching the vampire that stole his friend.

I was not paying attention though because I had an odd feeling that he was not telling me that whole truth. After Steve was done sprouting ideas he led me out of the theater and back into the city, then he led me through the streets and pulled me through an open door to my guess was his house.

I followed in as he led me up the stairs that were right in front of the door and down the upstairs hall into what I guessed was his room.

The bedroom was not even in good condition it was in fact in shambles (Someone in my opinion had not yet broken through the tantrum stage) I thought to myself as I looked around at the room. I looked at the walls and found a lot of posters advertising monsters such as vampires, werewolves, lake monsters, anything you could name. Then where ever there was not a poster of monsters there were gigantic holes in the wall and splinters sticking out.

This room in my opinion was not very livable. The only thing that looked remotely comfortable was the bed which Steve was now sitting on. I walked over being careful of where I stepped and sat down next to him waiting for his instructions.

Quickly he leaned over to a broken night stand next to his bed he grabbed a slightly decent cell phone. With the cell phone in his hand he sat back up and placed the device into my hand, he then explained that his cell phone number was already in the contact list.

He then went and told me what it was that he wanted me to do. Basically it was an easy task; all I had to do was travel around for any news of a traveling freak show, the Cirque Du Freak. The vampire who took his friend was traveling with the freak show so once I found it I was to look for his friend who he told me his name was Darren Shan.

After I located Darren and the vampire I was to call Steve and tell him where they were, then I was to stick around and relay all the information that I could about the cirque. Between where it was and the freaks that traveled with it, after the Steve said he would take care of the rest.

After Steve told me my job he led pushed me out of his room, down the stairs, and out the door. When I was out side he shut the door and I was once again left alone.

A.N. so short chapter but I will try to get another one up today to make up for it but this should make you a little happy right.
