*maniacal laughter* Did you think the story ended there? NO! THERE'S MUCH MORE! SO MUCH MORE! *more maniacal laughter* *coughs* Bleck, I really, really REALLY thought I was getting better at that.

Let the fun begin, mysteries unravel and chaos ensue!

I found a spare change of clothes (since I was still in my embarrassing hospital dress) in a store called Magical Garments run by this really nice guy with brown hair, golden eyes and bat wings. Kind fellow.

Anyway, my attire was know a orange sweater way too big for me (the collar covered a bit of my chin), and tight black leggings. I didn't have any shoes on. And damn, was I short! After that, I had no idea what to do. No money, no nothing in this strange new world filled with monsters!

My lucky break was this guy I met in a yes, sounds suspicious, bar like place.

He had a scraggly beard and dark red hair that was spiky and messy. He wore a thin green sweater and brown pants. He was, to say the least, scrawny. But the thing that shocked me most was what he said his name was: HoodWink Louver.

I literally fell out of my seat in shock. I asked him to repeat that and he did. I soon found out something completely mind boggling: He was my dad's brother! I launched into a rambling of questions about my dad. What was he like? Why did he leave us? Who is he really? What-

He cut me off and told me everything I needed to know. Not much I hadn't already guessed about my dad: He was a complete asshole. He left because one, he was too much of a prick to accept he had a half human daughter and two, because he had a job elsewhere. And he's really a vampire.

Well, that explained the fangs. I looked down at my pale hands. Did this mean I was half vampire? He seemed to read my thoughts and told me I was right. I nodded and we went back to what we were eating. He was, surprisingly unlike most old guys at bars, was having soda, not alcohol.

But as soon as we left my first friend was supposedly torn from me. A furry arm reached from an alleyway and literally grabbed my uncle by the neck. I turned and looked into the alleyway to see them both gone. Then I looked up. They were on top of the bar. I couldn't see what was going on up there, just their silhouettes.

There was a sickening sound I couldn't identify and something fell and landed on my shirt. I felt sick to my stomach. Blood.

For a second, I just stood there, trying not to cry as I saw the bigger silhouette who had grabbed my uncle teleport away. He couldn't be dead. He couldn't be- could he? No, it couldn't be true. HE WAS DEAD.

For the second time he read my thoughts. "Not yet. Down here."

I looked down to see a nine inch tall beige teddy bear waving at me. "I'm in here." What?

He somehow jumped up and landed on my shoulder. "I was enchanted in a spell that would give me a secondary form if I accidentally died. But of all second forms- a teddy bear?" he looked down at his paws.

I giggled. "Okay then HoodWink."

"That's Uncle Hoodwink to you!"

"But now you look more like a HoodWink!"

"How?"

"It sounds cuter!"

"Cute?"

And that's how HoodWink the teddy bear came to be; I'm still looking for a cure to return him to his original body.

Sorry it was short! This was sorta bittersweet. Anyway, don't forget to review!
