Vampires Will Never Hurt You., chapter 4
I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night. It had started thundering and lighting again. I stood at my window watching it for a while. I was just glad that I didn't do anything to hurt Billie Joe, Mike or Tre.
As I stared out of the window, I could hear voices from the neighbouring room, but I couldn't make out what they were saying.
I slunk away from my window and towards my bed. I flicked on the light, shielding my eyes from the sudden brightness. I sat down and picked up my book again and settled down to read it.
*~*Meanwhile*~*
"Billie, what is wrong with you?" Tre was asking him.
"She's a freak, she isn't normal, just in the morning keep her away from me!" Billie yelled.
"Keep your voice down, she's only next door," Mike whispered through the darkness.
"I don't care if she fucking hears me!" Billie shouted at Mike, who was sitting alone on the bed.
"Billie, be quiet and what's wrong with her anyway?" Tre said, placing a hand on Billie Joe's shoulder. Billie quickly scuttled away from Tre.
"Anyway, Mike, what's all this crap about that she's met you before?" Billie asked, changing the subject.
Mike cast a weary look around the room, biting his lip. "I dunno, but I reckon I've been hear before," he said, still looking around.
"Maybe in a previous life!" Tre sang in an eerie voice, dancing around
"Tre, don't be so stupid," Billie said, still cowering in the corner of the room.
Mike and Tre giggled, but Billie Joe stayed serious.
"Back to the subject before, Billie, what makes you say that Sophia's a freak?" Tre asked.
"It's as if she has something to hide, the way she keeps running to her bedroom,"
"Well, yeah, that is weird, but why did you have to act that way towards her?"
"Because when she came downstairs, her reflection was transparent and when we were talking to her after trying the phone, I saw the way she was looking at you," Billie explained.
"Well, I can't help it if the ladies find me irresistible," Tre said, flicking his collar on his jacket up. Mike snorted, but Billie stayed serious all the same.
"No, Tre, not like that, I dunno, it was weird, like she wanted to kill you," Tre's eyes widened and he started running around the room, flapping his arms around. "I'm too young to die!"
"And, Tre you said it yourself, she had bloodstains on the carpet and well it was the way she looked when I told her to get away from me. she looked as if she thought I knew something I shouldn't. and well, when she asked me what was wrong with her, as she stared at me, her irises went white."
"Fuck!" Mike had shouted, his eyes wide.
"What's up with you?"
"I remember something," Mike said, paniking.
"What?" Tre aked, sounding exited.
"You're gonna think I'm crazy," Mike said doubtfully.
"Tell us," Billie said, leaping onto the edge of the bed.
"I dunno," Mike said. Biting his lip.
*~* Sophia's bedroom*~*
"Fuck!" I heard the familiar voice of Mike from their bedroom.
What the hell were they doing in there. It seemed to go quiet after that, but I strained my ears and managed to hear hushed voices like they didn't want someone to hear them. Someone, obviously being me. Great, what had Billie Joe said to them. Did he really know my secret? I tried to focus on the book, but I couldn't concentrate. Time seemed to be going at half its normal speed. I took a deep breath, placing the book down in its original place.
I heard another clap of thunder, followed by three screams. I wonder if they were telling ghost stories to each other. Occasionally I could hear a few gasps. Please don't be talking about me. I sank to my knees, praying yet again. Maybe someone up there could hear my desperate pleas. Well, they haven't been answered so far. Praying every night for just over five years.
I had another flash of that night. Two men, they looked like they were wrestling. A taller one and a shorter one. I never got a proper look at either of them, I always thought that the shorter one must have been my Dad, but then I realised this person was too short to be my Dad.
