Chapter 9

DARREN~

"It all started when she grew her fox ears," Kat began. "It was the night our parents finally came back from their business trip. I was in my room and Jenn was in her's. I heard the front door open as our parents came in. Jenn immediately ran downstairs while I on the other hand stayed in my room. I knew that our parents never loved about us, but Jenn always had hope that one day that would change. A little while later I heard yelling and scolding from mom and a large smack. Jenn was crying and I couldn't help but feel bad although our parents did this to us very often.

"Then I heard a loud, piercing scream. After that was dead silence. I ran downstairs, fearing the worst, and saw the opposite of what I expected. Instead of Jenn lying motionless on the floor," Kat paused to take a breath, "I found our parents, both a bloody mess on the kitchen floor."

Everyone gasped. I glanced over at Jenn. Her hands were in tight fists and her expression was one of complete horror.

Kat continued with the tale, "Standing above them was Jenn holding a kitchen knife stained with blood. But that wasn't the only thing that scared me. On her head were two black fox-like ears and appearing out of the bottom of her white, bloodstained dress was a black bushy tail with a white tip.

"She fell to the floor on her hands and knees screaming and crying. When she turned her head to look at me, I thought she came directly out of a horror movie. Her eyes were a bright red and her cheeks were stained with blood and tears, but I could see that she regretted killing our parents," Kat paused again to wipe tears that were now falling from her eyes.

"Seconds later, the police arrived. They said that they received a call from one of our neighbors saying that they heard screaming. They saw Jenn hovering over the dead bodies of our parents. I knew what they were thinking and so did Jenn when she immediately lunged at one of the officers, killing him in the process. Another police officer snuck up from behind Jenn and tazed her. Jenn fell unconscious and was taken away. I asked one of the officers where they were taking her. He replied saying that she was going to be sent to an insane asylum. I was scared and protested against it but they didn't listen.

"She was only eight years old when that happened. I was sent to live with my aunt. Four years later, the doctor told us that she was released from the asylum. At first I was happy to see my sister once more but when he told me that I wasn't allowed to make any contact with her, my smile turned into a frown. He said that she was given shock therapy and lost her memory.

"She was to be sent to an orphanage but before that occurred, she was kidnapped. Later, reports were found saying that Jenn drowned herself after finding her body in a lake. I ran away in despair and was found by a old man who called himself a vampire. He blooded me and became my mentor until he was killed for unknown reasons."

"I remember." We all looked at Jenn. "I remember," she repeated in the same terrified voice. Her eyes had a dead look in them and her body was trembling. She had her head down but I could see tears falling down her cheeks. In a flash, Jenn was running out of the tent crying.

"Jenn!" her sister called and ran after her. I followed and so did Evra and Marisa.

"Where did she go?" Marisa asked. We looked around. It was almost dark outside and there were only a few people out.

"We'll split up," Evra suggested. "I'll go with Marisa." Then they took off. Kat and I decided to search alone.

I was running, unsure of where I was headed towards. I called out Jenn's name several times but received no response. I was close to giving up when I heard growling.

The wolf-man! I began running towards the wolf-man's cage fearing that something terrible happened. When I got there I saw Jenn lying on the ground, her back faced towards me. But she wasn't where I expected her to be, which would have been near the tree that shaded the wolf-man from the sun.

As I got closer my fears were realized. There in the cage was Jenn with the wolf-man's head near her stomach.

Darren: So...are you dead?

Kuro: How can you be so insensitive?!

Darren: W-what did I do?

Kuro: You don't just ask someone if they're dead! That's rude!

Darren: Well...I was just wondering.

Kuro: That's a secret! ^^ heehee!!!

Darren: You're happy, then angry, then sad, then you're happy again, then mad, and then happy......do you have serious bipolar issues?

Kuro: I'm hungry. I wonder if there is any mochi today! ^^

Darren: And you're not listening...
