Chapter 8

Lisa was overcome with many feelings at this point.

"W-what did you say?" She stuttered.

Her mother's smile was sending chills down her spine. "I have your future set, dear. You will live a glorious life full of riches while I will finally escape that stupid office and have my own true business!" she said it as if it was already in her hands.

Lisa began to back away from her.

"So you're with them? This whole time you were trying to sell me off to someone?" Tears continued down her face.

Her mother shook her head. "I only just talked to him. You're the one who caused this whole thing."

Before Lisa could open her mouth to ask what she had meant, the door burst open and her father came running inside.

He was completely out of breath. "What's going on!?"

Lisa ran over to him and began crying. "She sold me off! She's been brainwashed or something! DAD, HELP HER!!!"

He stared at her for a moment and looked towards his wife. "What is she talking about, Angela?"

Her smile got smaller at the sight of him. "Just a prank, dear. Go back to work."

He finally straightened up and gained control of his breath. "With the way Lisa's acting, I don't think this is a prank."

"That's just it," She continued with a blank face, "She's acting."

"NO!" Lisa cried and pointed at her. "She just told me! She's trying to sell me off for her own profit!"

Her father looked back at her. "Lisa, that's-"

"Not for you to decide," Her mother finished for him, "I know what's best for you and you will be leaving in three days."

Her Father tensed and stared and Angela, completely dumbstruck. "You can not be serious…"

Her smile returned once more. "I'm quite serious. We'll all be set for the rest of our lives."

Lisa burst into sobs. "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?"

"Angela!" Frank cried, "How could you make a deal like this! We don't even know the guy, AND you just sold our daughter! What is WRONG with you!?"

Her smile was gone again. "If you don't wish to share this dream of happiness with me, then get out."

Frank put his arm around Lisa. "I will be leaving and Lisa will be coming with me. I never agreed to this and Lisa turns 18 in only a few days so then legally, you can't touch her!"

Lisa froze. My birthday is in 3 days…

"SHE STAYES HERE!" Her mother suddenly screeched.

Frank pushed Lisa behind him and was slowly walking towards the door.

"Lisa," He said lightly to her, "Get to the car and lock the door until I come out."

Lisa bolted to the front door.

"NO!" She heard her mother scream but Lisa didn't stay to hear what else she said.

As soon as she was outside and saw her father's car, she jumped inside and locked all the doors. All she could hear from inside the house was the yelling of her mother. Lisa laid back in the seat and continued crying.

Why is this happening? She thought.

After about ten more minutes of her mother yelling from inside, her father finally came marching out of the house with her mother still screaming at him.

"LISA!" she screamed when she saw her inside of the car, "GET IN HERE NOW!" Her father was practically running to the driver's side of the car.

Lisa quickly unlocked the door for him and locked it once more once he was inside. Her mother was not marching over to her side to try and open the door.

"GET OU T OF THAT CAR!!!" She screeched as she tried to rip the door off the car.

Her father was quick in starting the car and pulling out.

"NO!" Her mother screamed from outside. "PLEASE LISA!"

They sped off down the road with her mother wailing on the front lawn.

Lisa's tears continued to fall as they drove out of the neighborhood.

"Lisa," Her father said calmly, "Were going to stay in a hotel for a while. I think it might be best if you stayed out of school for a while. I'll call them and explain why."

"Why is she doing this?" She asked through her tears.

He sighed in grief. "I know she wanted her own business and was tied of her job, but I guess she finally lost it. Someone comes and offers a golden gate and she was desperate. I'm just sorry that you were the one to suffer for it for."

Lisa was finally starting to calm down now. "I don't think she would have been that cruel without some kind of brainwashing, dad."

He sighed again. "Were going to try and figure this out, ok? Everything will be fine soon."

Lisa sighed and leaned into the window.

"Now," Her father asked turning into a small hotel, "Will you tell me about what happened today and last night? I got a call from the school on my way home so I thought that maybe that has something to do with all this."

Lisa sighed again and related her story.

-------------

When she finally finished telling him, they were both sitting inside their hotel.

When she finished, Frank was leaning back into the chair with a hand on his forehead.

"This can't be happening." He mumbled.

"I wish it wasn't" She mumbled back at him.

After a moment, he sat up and looked at her with sad eyes. "I'm going to call the police tomorrow and file a report about this. Maybe your mother is drugged or something. I'll also call off work for a while."

"So were staying here for a few days?" She asked.

"Yeah. We don't have much of a choice." He stood up and stretched. "Now, let's both try and get some sleep."

Lisa nodded and crawled into bed. "Good night dad."

"Good night, angel."

Lisa smiled lightly. It had been years since he last called her that.

Lisa tuned over into a deep sleep.

--------------------

This time, she was in her high school gym with one else there.

"Hello?" She called but no one answered. She began walking down the long hallways in search of at least someone who wouldn't leave her all alone.

"Will someone PLEASE answer me!?"

Nothing.

Finally, she heard a small noise coming from a room. She turned to see the art room. Lisa walked in and saw someone sitting behind the teacher's desk. It was a student.

"Excuse me," Lisa asked at the girl behind the desk, "Can you help me?"

The moment she touched the girl's shoulder, the chair swung around and Lisa screamed.

The girl was dead with her throat ripped open.

Lisa began to run as fast as she could in the opposite direction. As she entered the cafeteria, she froze to see more dead bodies of students all over the floor, blood everywhere. She screamed again and turned to run, but a figure behind her stopped her.

"Help me!" She screamed at the stranger, "Please help me!"

She heard him chuckle. "Only if you help me first."

Lisa looked up and froze…

The same man from her dreams…

He was large and her dark hair that hung around his face. His dark, maroon eyes seemed to suck in any light that was near him. As handsome as he was, the feeling around him radiated evil.

Before Lisa could push him away, He grabbed her tightly against him and ripped her shirt open.

"NO!" She screamed as his fangs sunk into her breast.
