Chapter 4
Vampire
It was dark, very dark. I could barely see what was in front of me. I reached into my bag and pulled out the flashlight. I flicked the switch, and a blazing yellow light came from the end of it. 'Much better,' I thought to myself. I walked slowly, trying not to make much noise. I didn't want them to hear me. Who know what would happen then. Luckily, I was wearing all black, so it was difficult to see me in the darkness.
I searched for quite some time. The moon hung directly overhead. The forest was becoming even creepier then before. I didn't how late it was, but I was sure that if I was to return home now that I would have to face an angry mother. As I walked, I stared up at the moon. It seemed so radiant tonight. A full moon on Halloween was such a mysterious thing, but at the same time it seemed right. And while watching the bats fly past, I felt like I was in my pumpkin patch, I was at peace and everything was so serene, until I felt something bump into me. I fell to the ground and dropped my flashlight.
I got to my knees and felt around for my flashlight. My heart was skipping beats. What had I ran into, and was it human? If anything it was probably a tree. I began to calm, until I heard a voice. "You dropped this."
I screamed and jumped backwards. There was a hand holding out my flashlight. I took it away from them and swiftly turned it back on. I aimed the light at the person trying to see who it was. "Hey! Not in the eyes, please!" said the voice. There was someone there, but I couldn't see whom for they were covering their eyes from the bright light. Slowly they uncovered them, and I was relieved at who I saw.
"It's only you Alex," I said, giving a sigh of relief.
"Well yea. Who else would it be?"
Alexander, Alex for short, was a kid from school. Alex was a slim boy, with short sandy hair and deep emerald eyes. He was very kind to everyone, and always stuck up for people who couldn't for themselves. Everyone admired him and wanted to be his friend. For some odd reason though, he chose me to be his friend. We have known each other for a while now, and secretly I think that lately I have had feelings towards him. And in a way, I think he felt the same towards me. I was being silly though. I didn't even like boys. They are liars and only use girls.but Alex was different somehow. Whenever I saw him, there was a feeling of calmness inside of me. My heart would beat faster, and I would blush. I couldn't like him though. I am the kind of person who doesn't give into her emotions so easily. The heart was only a tool of your body to throw you off course. One should use their mind and not their heart.
"Are you okay?" He asked holding out his hand to help me up. I stared up at him. I hadn't noticed that he was wearing his costume. Alex was dressed as a vampire, with a long black cape and fangs. He was quite handsome in it I thought.No. What was I thinking? There I go again, letting my emotions get the better of me. But I couldn't help myself. I was even blushing by now. I tried to hide it, but it didn't work. I got up off the ground and brushed the dirt off of me. "Are you okay Pheonia?" he asked again. I gave him a death glare.
"What the hell do think you're doing out here?!?! Why'd you sneak up on me like that!?" I yelled at him, causing a few bats to fly out of the trees. He was taken aback, and almost fell over in surprise of my sudden outburst.
"Ack! I didn't mean to! I thought you saw me coming."
"Well what are you doing out here then?"
"I was taking a walk, just like you are."
"Uh, heh, yea, that's right. I'm taking a walk." That comment made me a bit nervous. I couldn't let Alex know why I was really out here. 'Oh hi Alex. I'm out here looking for The Poltergeists so that I may kill their leader to avenge my dead friend. And how is your evening?' Oh yea, that would go over well. At least he didn't ask what I was REALLY doing out here.
"I like your costume. You make a very pretty kitty."
"Oh heh, thank you I guess." I scratched the back of my head while blushing.
"Do you mind if I walk with you?" he asked smiling sweetly.
"Uh, sorry," I blushed, "I kinda want to be along right now."
"Oh. well that's alright. Maybe I'll bump into you again?"
"Heh, let's hope not. I don't need a sore bottom," I laughed forcefully.
"Well alright. See you," he said waving to me as he walked off. He was so handsome with his costume on, and his cape flowing gracefully behind him only added to it. There I went again, letting emotions take control. I hit my forehead, trying to regain my concentration. I picked my stuff off of the ground and started on my way again. Hopefully this time I would run into who I was looking for.
