"Hey, Megan, there is a wolf behind you!" I yelled. "Run!"
"Where?" squeaked my little sister, Megan. "Hey! That's not funny! You know that I am scared of wolves. They're vicious." That was said while I was rolling on the ground laughing.
"I know, but is so funny. You are too gullible. Besides, wolves aren't vicious. You would scare them away. It is only werewolves that kill humans on free will. Wolves only kill humans during a meat famine. You know that, Megan." I said as I calmed myself down.
"Well then. Joe, Jack, Jill, and Liz are coming over later, so stay out of our hair." Megan demanded.
"Touchy!" So I went to my friends', Will and Sarah, house to hang.
By the way, I am Kerri Underwood. I am 13 and Megan is 9. I live in Florida, with my sister, of course, Mom and Dad. My best buds are Will and Sarah, who are twins. They have always lived next door.
"What's up? Any thing new?" they asked together. I bet they were hoping for my mom's double chocolate cookies.
"No cookies today, guys. I just got over laughing my head off with another joke on Megan," I told them.
"She is very gullible," Will said, "Just don't over do it." I knew what he meant, that I shouldn't do it every day.
"Hey, ya want to go to Bog Island?" Sarah asked. Only we knew the safe way across. It was where we kept the secret stuff.
"No. Besides, the guys are coming over for our game," I reminded her.
We just hung out. That is, till Archie and Reggie came over. They are our neighbors. Every Saturday, we have a game of girls vs. boys' football game. Sometimes, Archie and Reggie's girls would come to help us. But this time they didn't. We still won the game (Girls rule, boys drool!) because the boys were so unplanned. Or they just let us win.
After the game, Will, Sarah and I went over to the schoolyard. Then 3 kids zoomed past us on bikes and smacked us on the back of the head.
"Crystal! Harold! Cindy! Leave us alone! We never did any thing to you guys!" we yelled at them.
Crystal laughed in our faces. "You guys were our way. Besides, what can you do? Turn into wolves and kill us?"
"I wish! Or you disappearing will be great, too," I snapped at Crystal.
When I came home, Mom scolded me for playing football in a white shirt, again.
The next night something strange happened during dinner. Usually, Buck and Duke, our dogs, watch us eat our supper. They were looking out the back door the whole time, not even barking or whining. Then Mr. Peterson and Mr. Smith came to the door to see if we had seen Crystal. She had just disappeared.
"Yes!" I said, "I mean… what!" I couldn't help myself. I didn't what her back.
"Sorry gentlemen, but we haven't seen her. We'll contact you if we find her." Dad said to them after he gave me the look.
Then, that night, I heard cold howls from outside my window. When I looked, nothing was there. Only huge wolf like prints, but they were too big for a wolf. I was scared. Really scared.
