Shooting Stars
Sarah put the last ornament on the Christmas tree. It looked quite nice, for something made in the last moment.
"Even though the circumstances, Christmas Eve is still something that should be celebrated."-she said to herself.
She looked at her watch. It was ten o'clock in the morning, but outside there was no daylight at all. Just snow and fog. Then she sat on the sofa tired of the last events. She was dressed in a loose Christmas sweater and skinny jeans, her dark hair was in an updo.
Sitting there, just by herself made her sad. It was the first time that she experienced real loneliness. It felt terrible. Although Ethan and Benny were still upstairs sleeping, knowing that there's nobody else in the whole town was devastating.
Benny walked down the staircase, in his fluffy green robe, his eyes still narrowed, and hair messed up.
"Morning."-he said buzzed.
"Hey Benny."-Sarah said, after noticing him.
"Any breakfast served?"-he asked rubbing his eyelids.
"Not yet, I was busy with setting up the Christmas tree."-Sarah answered, standing up.
"It's nice."-the boy murmured.
"Oh, thank you. Come in the kitchen I will get you a peanut and jelly sandwich."-Sarah offered.
Benny nodded, somehow still in a half-awake, half- asleep condition. He followed the vampire in the kitchen and sat on one of the chairs.
Sarah used her vampire speed and prepared a couple of sandwiches for a few seconds. Then she put the plate on the table, a bit louder.
Benny was awoken by the sound. He grabbed one of the peanut and jelly butter sandwiches and started to eat silently. The girl sat in front of him. She had no desire to eat, she just stared at the window. Outside, had became an idea brighter.
"Ethan."-Sarah called out, as he noticed him to the door."Where are you going?"
"Oh, just going out for a walk that's all."-he shrugged.
"Arn't ya gonna get a sandwatch?"- Benny asked, his mouth full.
"I'm not hungry."-Ethan declined the offer."I think I'll just goof around for a while."
"You're going to your house again, aren't you?"-Sarah said sadly.
Ethan blushed.
"Well...actually yes."
"Ethan why do you keep doing this? Nothing's gonna happen when you return there every day. We need to figure out how to fix this mess. Together."
"Yes, I'm just going to grab a few staff, and I'll get back to you guys."-Ethan said."Ok. Be right back."
Sarah gave him an incredulous glance.
Ethan smiled nervously, before walking out.
Sarah let out a sigh.
Eight hours later
Sarah had rested her body and the window, her arms folded on her chest, and she stared at the dark landscape. Benny was on the couch next to her playing a video game. Next to the couch was the table. All set up with food drink and candles, prepared for Christmas Eve. A fire flamed in the fireplace. A bit after six o'clock in the evening. Still no sign from Ethan.
Sarah sight and sat on the couch next to Benny. It was useless. Everything was too tensed. They had to fix this mess. Otherwise, nothing would be the same.
The door opened crustily.
"Where the hell have you been..."-Sarah stood up with a startled expression.
Ethan stood there, covered in snow. He shut the door behind him. His cheeks and nose-were red.
"Avalanche."-was all he could say. "There's an avalanche that's going to hit us in minutes, maybe even less."
