The Funny and Good Times
"Chris, what's going to happen to me?" I asked him. Once again he kept silent. Of course we would be hiding something from me. It's just like what that girl said. So I gave him a frustrated look and walked out of the door. Well I was bitten by a vampire. Strange I don't really remember that.
I remained silent as I grabbed my phone. Oh well I guess it would be good to see Ashley since I haven't seen her in a while. Her house was about ten minutes if I walked. This time will give me the chance to think about all that has happened to me. So I was captured and tortured, then a girl shows up in my dreams, and now I find out that I have been bitten by a vampire. My walking speed became steady as I put my hands in my pockets.
It was cold outside and I was able to see my own breath. I guess that it gets cold as soon as Halloween ends. Go figure. The ground that I stepped on was cold and hard and light gray clouds hung around me.
Ashley's house was in my view now and to my surprise I saw her outside sitting on her steps. Her hands were supporting her head. Ashley's face was full of thought and deep concentration. At least until she saw me. Her face went from happy to sad, and then to concern.
"Hey Vanessa, I'm glad to see you." A heartwarming smile lit her face.
"Yeah, me too." Her hands came off of her face and once again her face went to a thoughtful face.
"Hey, I need to talk to you about something. Can you come inside?" I nodded and she sat up from the position that she was in before. She went to the door and opened it for both of us to walk through. Both of us entered to her house and we both sat down on her couch. She looked so sad after we both sat down.
"You remember Halloween, don't you?" Ashley asked this. In response I nodded to her answer. Her hair hung down at a certain angle that made it so I couldn't see her eyes. This was a girl trick that we used.
"Between that day and now I realize that I myself am not human. An eerie silence hung between us. I guess that she wanted this to sink in to me and oh boy it did. So now she isn't human. Suddenly that woman's voice rang in my head. "Everyone's hiding things from you." Her words are now starting to make a little sense.
"Well if you aren't human then what are you?" I asked in my curious manor. She didn't move for the longest time. When she said it though her words were like a dolls. They were unemotional and brief.
"I'm the same as your brother. A werewolf." A werewolf. Those creatures don't exist. They're just stories that my mom and dad used to tell me when I was a child. I only took them as lessons.
"Wait! I thought that they didn't exist." A smile curled up on her lips when I said this.
"Oh their real. Remember when we played football?" Once again I nodded. This happened in the seventh grade when Ashley and I were in P.E. class. The sport was football and were playing a game. For once Ashley and I were on different teams. When it was time to hike the ball and Ashley got the ball she meant to throw the ball to her teammate My job was to block the other team so I did and that cost me. The ball that Ashley threw hit me square in the stomach. That throw cost me two weeks out of gym class. They told me that I had a ruptured stomach.
"I guess that was a sign of it." She nodded. Once again she spoke.
"Chris started training me a couple days ago. This was when I found out about all of this." My hand were on my lap and I gripped my shirt.
"I'm sorry Ashley I need to go." I sat up and began walking to the door. She also walked up.
"Vanessa what's wrong." I stopped and turned to face her. I relaxed my hands and looked over at her with a smile.
"There is something that I need to do. I will chat with you later." Her response was an OK and I walked out and shut the door. I walked home with tears rimming in my eyes. How could she have not told me this. She probably knew about this and was too afraid to tell anyone. Now I had to go and talk to Tristian.
