The Little Goth Girl

A/N: Sorry for the late update, but I was feeling lazy. Hehe, sorry about that though.

Chapter 6

Six weeks. Six long weeks since she found out her parents had been kidnapped. She sat at the lunch table across from Tucker, who was gobbling down the school's meatloaf and frowned at her food.

She snuck a glance to the table a few feet away from her and stared at the boy; the boy with the electrifying eyes was what she called him. She had been instructed by Vlad to go and befriend, but told her not to let him thru a portal. What portal it was, she did not know.

As she quietly picked at her pasta, she noticed Tucker's wide eyed stare.

"What?" She asked. He shrugged.

"Something on your mind?" He asked. She shook her head, but the look he gave her told her he didn't believe her. With a soft sigh she glanced at the boy with the electrifying blue eyes and turned back to her friend.

"Can you keep a secret?" She asked. He shook his head.

"No." He said, she gave him a pointed look, "I-I mean, yeah I can." He said. She gave a hesitant nod and let out a deep breath.

"You see the boy next to us?" She asked. He gave a quick look over and nodded, "Well...My dad-well he's not really my dad-," she stuttered.

"What do you mean he's not your dad?" He asked. She stabbed one of her noddles.

"His name is Vlad Masters. He stole my real parents and made himself my parent." She tried to explain, "he said I had to stop the boy next to us from entering some portal. He didn't say which one though."

"So you're like...abducted?" He asked. She nodded.

"I guess..." She said, "But there's just something about the whole thing that seems weird. Like why would he take my parents? What's so dangerous about the boy that Vlad doesn't want him to go through some portal?" Tucker frowned.

"Who knows, maybe he's just a fruit loop." He said. Sam sighed.

"I guess...but that's not the bad thing. If I don't obey him, he shocks me with these small things!" She said fighting back tears. Tucker gave her a sad look.

"Gee Sam, I'm sorry to hear that. Is that why give been so quiet lately?" He asked, she shook her head, "Well, I'm here to help you. No matter what." He said.

The bell then rang for recess, Sam and Tucker exited the cafeteria to go and spy on tr new kid in Casper Elementary. As they sat in the small bench, Tucker said he was going to the restroom.

Sam stayed silent as she watched the boy kick a small rock out of the way. She thought about going over to him and introducing herself, but before she could jump down from the bench, Dash and his friends came over.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't our favorite little punching bag." He said cracking his fists. Sam turned around and gulped. She knew she was in for it. The bullies never bothered her since she had a friend who would stand up for her, but since she was alone...it made her the perfect prey.

"Go away Dash." She said with a roll of her eyes. Dash glared at her and sent a signal to his buddies. Sam yelped as she was suddenly yanked up and held in place by the two boys. She struggled against them, "Hey! Let me go!" She cried out. Dash smirk.

"You seem to forget who's in charge here Goth-bait," He said, "so I'm just gonna give you a little reminder." He said. She whimpered as she watched him pull back his arm.

Everything seemed to go in slow motion, Sam squeezed her eyes shut as the oncoming fist , Dash smiled wickedly. Just as the fist was mere inches away from her cheek, it suddenly stopped.

Hmmm...wonder why the punch was interrupted? Anyone know the answer?

So I'm going to only update on week days: Mon-Fri Saturday and Sunday are my days off, unless I feel like updating on one of those days...of course there will be days that I send a rain check, but only if I'm busy with school work, on family business, or I have writer's block, but I'll let you guys know in advance :D

please review!
