"Excuse me?" Sara timidly asked her question to the hobbed old woman shouting across the street. The old woman looked mean and violent. Her face was winkled and tired but still held a sense of self rightness and distrust. She was waving her cane in the air like an old farmer yelling at his flock as she stood there in the doorway of her pastel pink house.

YOU! I knew someday that demon would return for revenge but not like this! Not in the form of a child. Who was it? What virgin Sacrifice did you spawn from? Was it the Boggs girl? That whore that forsake God and slept with that monster! Huh?

Sara wasn't sure how to response to an attack like this, she could run and solidify the crazy old woman's theories but Sara was too polite and stubborn to run away like a child from her problems.

"Im not sure what your talking about?"

"How could you NOT?" The old woman shouted at her as she hobbled off her front steps then into the street towards Sara.

"Look at you! I see the mark of Satan on you! You can't hide behind that angelic image monster, your evil tricks won't work on me!"

What the hell was this crazy old woman talking about? She wasn't some God forsaken love child of a demon. She was Sara Williams, newest resident of Suburbia. Sure she has some weird dreams at times but it doesn't make her a monster's child. A light sleeper Yes, but an abomination of love No! This lady's off her rocker and it scared the crap out of Sara as she began to inclose upon Sara's personal space. She needed to get away before something drastic happened but how?

"Grandma I was wondering where you kept... GRANDMA"

Both Sara and the old woman snapped their heads towards the manly disembodied voice.

A minute later a young man stepped out of the door of the colorful house. Oh thank God her personal savior. He then walked out towards the little verbal struggle between the old woman and Sara hopefully to either stop the old woman or to join in on the battle.

"GRANDMA! What are you doing!"

The old woman's face turned three shades of red as the young man ran towards them. She was angry, how dare he try to stop her exorcism.

"She IS the devil's child! I can feel it! Im not going to let her get away"

Finally catching up to them he held on to the old woman's shoulders in a comfortable manner then softly spoke to her, making her stop her noble quest.

"Grandma, she's not the devil's child, she's just a girl please come back into the house your shows are on."

Hearing this the old woman loosen her hatful intentions and let the young man lead her back to the house, the trip across the road had tired her out and she needed some rest.

A second later the young man step out of the house and jogged over the grass towards Sara.

" Im so sorry about Grandma Esmeralda, I swear her Alzheimer get worse and worse everyday. Forgive me, im Joe," said the giggling smiling boy as he held out his hand. Sara saw that he was trying to impress her so to flatter him she played along and gaped his hand in return. "Sara Williams, nice to meet you."

Feeling her warm hand in his, the young man's smile grew ten fold.

"Your new here aren't ya?" Joe asked as he stood on the pavement in front of Sara. There eyes locked on to each other.

"Is it that obvious" smiled Sara in a joking fashion.

Afraid that he might have upset Sara Joe stumbled to find the redeeming words.

"No, no its just i've never seen you before, so I thought that you might be a newbie around here."

Showing a small smile Sara let out a soft giggle. They both stood there for what seemed like forever before Sara broke the silence.

"Well I better get going its getting late."

A bit sad that she felt the urge to leave Joe once again searched for any last minute words.

"Yeah, yeah that's cool. Oh I ..I was just wondering if you where doing anything this weekend?"

Thinking about the weekend Sara answered honestly.

"Nothing really, Im supposed to go with my friend to some camp out thing but other then that..."

Joe's voice jumped in excitement.

"Really your going to the camp out this weekend too, that's awesome?"

Sara smiled at his boyish excitement

"Yeah I'll be there, so will I see you around?"

Joe was so happy to hear that Sara was going he almost didn't hear the screaming voice of his grandma yelling at him to get back in the house far away from the monster girl.

"HOLD ON I"LL BE RIGHT IN! So a yeah, yeah I guess I'll see ya there then"

Sara nodded politely and then turned around to walk down the street towards her home. A huge smile ran across her face. She now had a reason to go to the camp out with Charlotte. She wanted to see Joe again.
