A crack of lightning flashed and was followed by a loud boom of \nthunder. Our van pulled into the driveway of our new house. As we got \nout, I questioned why we bought the house in the first place. It was a \nreal fixer-upper. Most of shingles on the roof were missing and the \nwindows were broken. It was dark out but every once in a while lightning\n struck, revealing more stuff about the house. I\u2019m going to live here I\n thought. No way. It was bad enough that we moved but now I have to \nsleep in this dump. Worst of all, nobody lived any were near us. \u201cFreddy\n come and help your dad take out the boxes\u201d. I barely heard my mom \nabove the storm. I wanted to be inside and reading my favorite book, \nThe Vampire\u2019s Revenge. It\u2019s a great book about a guy who gets his blood \nsucked out by a vampire and tries to stop it with different things that \nare said to stop a vampire, but in the end all fail. My mom thinks that \nthe book is terrible and thinks I should read books like Tom Sawyer and \nall that other junk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My thoughts drifted off when I heard a loud howl that no human could \never make. \u201cWhat was that?\u201d I murmured. My dad would probably know. He\n studies animals for a living. We moved here because of him. He got a \nonce in a lifetime opportunity to study the wild life in the woods \naround the house. \u201cFred, please come here. Your dad really needs your \nhelp,\u201d my mom pleaded. I walked over and started helping my dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After spending the whole day unpacking boxes I was wiped out. I fell asleep before I made it to my bed. I was woken\n late in the night by a loud crash. I ran over to the window to see what\n had happened. As I looked out through the window, I could see a huge \ndark object in the dim light.. I ran to get my mother, but came to \nsudden halt That\u2019s when I noticed a door that had not been there \nbefore. It was nothing spectacular. It simply had not been there \nbefore. I was sure of it because I had seen a really cool picture of a \nvampire sucking the blood out some British guy right where the door was \nnow. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Any way, I felt the sudden urge to open the door. Inside were dark \nstairs. Cobwebs littered the ceiling. Each step I took made the stairs \ngroan like a mummy waking up after sleeping for a thousand years. \nFinally I reached the bottom. My flashlight reveled a tenebrous room \nfull of boxes, and crates of all sizes. In the middle of the room was \nwhat looked like a coffin. I walked over to get a better look. It was \ndefinitely a coffin. It had that weird shape, and gold hinges. Yup, it\u2019s\n definitely a coffin I thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creakkkk, the coffin slowly opened. I jumped back in horror. A pale \nwhite hand reached out of the coffin, pushing the top off. Inside was a \nghastly man. He wore black pants, black shoes, a white shirt and a cape \nover it. His bones creaked as he got up. His teeth caught the gleam of \nmy flashlight revealing two sets of fangs. \u201c\u201dHello, he said to me in a \nlow creepy voice. I stepped back. \u201cYou look so tasty,\u201d he said in the \nsame voice. Then he lunged. I sidestepped and ran<\/p>\n\n\n\n towards the door. I ran up the steps so fast they didn\u2019t\u2019 have time \nto groan. I twisted the doorknob but got stopped short because the door \nwas locked. \u201cHelp!\u201d I screamed at the top of my lungs. No answer. \nSuddenly I heard the groans of the stairs as the man slowly walked up \n.He had a confident smile as if he had just won a gold medal. \u201cHelp!\u201d I \nwailed. \u201cSomebody please help me!\u201d Again there was no reply. He walked \ncloser. Closer and closer he walked until he was right next to me. \u201cWhat\n do you want?\u201d I sputtered. \u201cYour blood!\u201d he answered back. And with \none swift movement he had it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A crack of lightning flashed and was followed by a loud boom of thunder.
