Chapter 3: Meet The Parents
D: I don't own Bram Stoker's Dracula. (I only own the sequel, hehehe).
A/N: You all are such party poopers. Youre supposed to write a review explaining how dearly you love my story so far, and what you think Natum means! Oh well. I'll tell you anyways. Natum is Latin for: young/being once again. So, basically, she shall forever be sweet sixteen. Get the picture? Okee-Dokie! Well, here's chapter #3!
Chapter 3: Meet The Parents
Moira strode down the street in her gray hoodie and navy blue jeans. She sighed to herself as she walked down Anshunt Road. Hands in her pocket, Moira tried to keep out of site. Her surroundings weren't safe, and it was wise to keep a low profile. How could they do this to me? Thought Moira. They know that I love him, but they won't let me marry him! Sometimes I wish I was never even born.
Moira was a tall girl. She had pale skin, and dark, black hair. It was always somewhat curly, no matter how hard she tried to straighten it. Her eyes were forest green. Her best friend, Dawn, was much prettier than Moira, in her opinion. Dawn's parents let her do what she wants! They're letting her marry Josh. Why can't my parents be like that? Thought Mina. She rounded the corner, where a group of teens in hoodies stood clambered together at the end of the street.
Moira paused. It was getting late. The sun hung low in the sky. This isn't good, thought Moira. The group turned their heads towards her, and began whispering. Suddenly, they starting walking towards her. Most people would have run in the opposite direction, but Moira just stood there. She wasn't going to let them scare her.
"How's it chillin'?" She asked them, as they encircled her. None answered.
"Hey, are you picking up what I'm puttin' down?" She asked. All of a sudden, one of the teens lowered their hoodies.
"How's it goin' Moira?" asked the African American. Moira smiled.
"Hey Nikki, how's it going?" asked Moira in her usual sweet voice.
"You're gonna get yoself in trouble one o' 'dese days," said Nikki in an alto voice.
"Ah, don't worry about me. I can take care of myself."
"I'll see you 'round Moira." The two clapped their hands together, and then Nikki and his gang left. Moira continued walking down the street. Suddenly, it began to thunder.
"Ah, that's real nice!" she said, looking up at the sky. She picked up her pace, as it began to rain. She turned the corner onto Souuvim road. Across the street was a small grocery center. Moira ran across the street, and entered the post office.
Moira walked over to one of the boxes, and pulled out a key from her pocket. She then opened the box, and reached her hand inside. She retrieved three letters.

Moira dropped the letter on the ground, as she covered her mouth in shock. She stood there for a moment, silently crying. She then fell to her knees, hands in her lap, and began to weep freely.
The third letter went unnoticed.
