I woke up in my bed the next day. I was so confused on how I ended up in my bed. I remember falling from the bridge and then…that was it. I pulled the bed covers off of me and I was wearing the same clothes as last night. I quickly got out of bed and opened the door to my room, seeing Sam about to knock on my door.
"Mom's on the phone." He said "You slept till 2 o'clock."
He grabbed my hand and pulled me into Michael's room. Michael was laying on his bed talking to mom, and he was wearing sunglasses. Once he got off the phone with mom I ran over to him and hugged him. Smiling, he hugged me back, Sam was looking at us as though we were crazy. I pulled away, smiled at him, and then went into my bedroom.
Later on I went downstairs and into the kitchen to make dinner. Sam was in the kitchen and so was Michael. I went over to the fridge and pulled out sandwich meat, making me and Sam sandwiches. Grandpa walked in and asked for something to use for after shave. Sam went over and suggested Windex. He went to Sam and took it from his hands putting it on. Grandpa had a date with the widow Johnson. Mike commented and asked if he stuffed her dead husband. I looked at Michael with disgust. I looked out the window and saw that grandpa pulled out of the driveway and left. Michael and Sam started arguing about Michael's attitude lately. They were interrupted by the sound of motorcycles and the headlights going around the house. Michael and I looked at each other, we knew exactly who was doing this. Michael opened the door to another room and we could see the lights better. I held Sam close to me in case something happened. I heard the boys hollering and laughing. Michael went to the door and opened it, there was no sign of them.
As the night progressed, I was downstairs with Michael as Sam was taking his bath. Michael looked like he was in pain and then he went to the stairs going up them slowly. I was watching him wondering what he was doing. Now he was at the door to the bathroom and he opened it. Nook was barking up a storm and he jumped on Michael knocking them both down the stairs I moved out of the way just in time. Sam opened the door and started to walk down the stairs calling me and mikes names. Once he got to the bottoms of the stairs he flipped on the light. He saw Michael breathing heavy and his hand bloody and cut open. I went over to Michael and took of my shirt, leaving me in a tank top. I put the shirt on the wound to stop the bleeding. Sam was more concerned with Nook than his own brother.
"Look at you reflection in the mirror." Sam said looking in the mirror in disbelief .Michael and I went over to the mirror. "He was see through!" I thought to myself putting my hand behind him and I could see it in the mirror. Sam flipped out.
"You're a creature of the night," he said panicking," Just like in the comic book." He turned away and ran up the stairs, holding my hand, dragging me with him. "You're a vampire Michael, my own brother, a god damn shit sucking vampire. Well you wait till mom finds out buddy."
Michael started following us up the stairs, "Sam, Ashley you guys wait. Ashley!" he said running up the stairs after us.
"Stay back just stay back!" said Sam running with me up the stairs into his bedroom then locking the door behind us. Michael started pounding on the door trying to get us to open it. Sam went to the conjoined bathroom and locked the door to that so he couldn't get in that way. I was sitting on his bed with my legs against my chest. I was watching him as he got a comic from his bed and grabbed the phone in his room. He dialed a number and started talking to someone. I was looking at the door tuning in and out of his conversation, the knocking on the door had stopped. I looked out the window and saw Michael's shoes and his legs in the air. I went to the window and saw he was holding on to a pipe so he didn't fly away. He was talking with mom on the phone and looking at me with a pleading look.
"Ashley," he said once he ended the phone call," please, please open the window. Help me!" I stayed in my place not moving to help him." Sammy please help me, I'm not a vampire I'm your brother. Please…"
I couldn't stand to see him clutching on the window anymore, begging. I went over and opened the window. He grabbed on to me and I helped him get inside.
"Thank you Ashley, thank you." Michael said he said hugging me, and kissed the top of my head." We all got to stick together Sam, Ashley." He said making me sit near the window with him. We all stopped talking when we heard mom pull up in her car. Sam went downstairs to talk to mom. I got up from the floor and went to the door.
"Be safe Michael." I told him knowing he was going to go see Star. I left the room and went into mine. I changed my clothes and put on my pajamas. I got in bed afterwards, turned off the light, and then fell into a deep sleep.
