The Creature

Our family is not the same since the horrible creature's arrival. The monster makes noises, keeps everyone awake. The cries! The awful smells!
At night, I hear it from my parent's bedroom. Scary! They are afraid of it too. They send each other to calm it. It eats their energy. They look tired. I must do something! I must face the creature, now!
I come closer. The monster's large, blue eyes look at me! I don't know why. I put my head to its soft, warm belly and blow. It giggles and I think I like her... my baby sister.

Underground

Underground she lay there, covered by worms and bugs - untouched for the last three centuries. Her hands, dirty and covered with dried blood, tinkered with her muddy brown hair as she plotted to get back at the person who did this to her - the person with a knife gripped in his midnight black-gloved hand. She peered at the dilapidated ceiling of her tight coffin. She dragged her hands against it, searching for a place to burst it open.
"It's time," her raspy voice whispered as her bloodshot eyes widened. "I'm coming for you."

The Feast

The angry mob runs toward me with pitchforks in hand. I take a deep breath. The scent of garlic is strong. "Where are they?" the villagers yell.
"Over there, through the woods!" I reply.
They run off into the deep dark woods. As I hear the first screams, I smile to myself. Right into my trap.
The screaming has stopped now. No, I don't feel bad. Besides, it's hard enough to keep an entire family of vampires full!

The Demon In The Dark

In the forest was a girl, her name was Kia. On the grass of the forest was paint, blood-red paint, and she lit candles around the paint. A glare of black light struck the sky like a missile and something started to come into the world, with red horns, big black and yellow eyes, and big red wings and a tail. It said, "Who summoned me?"
"I did. I'm Kia."
"And I'm Bloodstreak. He he he, this is going to be fun..." he whispered, holding out his hand.
Kia grabbed it and got in the glowing light. They were gone.
