I woke up two weeks after that. Chained to a wall in a dungeon. I didn’t know Halloween Town HAD a dungeon. They let Kira down after a week. She was quiet and did whatever the town’s people asked. I didn’t. I have too much pride. She’s been trying to get me to listen to them, but, I won’t. And I’m going to get Tristan back.
Kira had to force feed me some days. The Town’s people watched and laughed. Some days, I’d disappoint them and not swallow a spoon full.
It’s been two weeks, three days and seven minutes. They’ve finally decided to let me down, but I’m still in the cell, though. I found an old rock and drew out my revenge plan in my corner, I never left the corner. The only time they let us out the cell is to use the toilet. This can be a good starting point. I’ve written down my entire plan. Then clumsy-Kira comes and walks over it.
“Kira! Watch your step!” I snap at her.
“Titch, you gotta stop. You gotta just agree to them.” She says calmly.
“Never.” I reply, I tried to keep my voice calm. I guess it didn’t work. Kira got mad.
“Titch, it’s been exactly two weeks!” She shouts.
“Two weeks, Three days and 8 minutes.” I reply, feeling smug. Kira doesn’t share my feeling.
“You know what I mean. How long do you want to stay like this?”
“One more day.” I say, this is when I plan on acting my plan of revenge.
Now she gets curious.
“What’re you talking about?” I just smile. “Titch, c’mon. What’re you planning?” Kira gets annoyed yet curious.
“Ok, come here.” Then I read out my plan to her.
It took a while, but Kira understood my plan. Then had a go at me because she wasn’t in it.
“Why aren’t I in the plan?” She moaned at me.
“Maybe because you’ve been such a sour-puss recently I thought you wouldn’t agree.” I moaned back at her.
“Fair point,” She shrugs. Then I stand up and walk over to the barred window to see what it’s like outside. It is dark, must be night-time. Now is the time to act.
“Kira. Let’s do this.” After several minutes of arguing Kira made me change the plan so it involved her. She was happy; she got to get rid of the crowd while I hunted down Tristan. I may be human, unlike everyone else here, but I know how to hold a petty grudge. Tristan is about to find this out the hard way.
I take a hair-pin out of my hair and try to pick the lock, unfortunately, I fail… miserably. So, Kira decides to call for the guard to let her go to the toilet, she doesn’t really need to go. As soon as he opens the cell door Kira has her foot implanted firmly in his face and he is unconscious on the floor, groaning in pain. I am lead down on the floor, pretending to be asleep while Kira makes as much noise as possible to attract the crowd and lead them away. Obviously it works. I get up and leg it into Town.
It’s a Ghost Town, pardon the expression, while everyone is chasing Kira. Everyone but Kim and Tristan. I walk to Kim’s house and knock on the door.
I think Kim may be related to Tristan. Maybe brother and sister? It’s the way she talks to him that makes it obvious. I assume that it will be Tristan answering the door, this is what I am hoping for.
To my shock a young girl answers the door, she must be at least my age. She has Brown hair and brilliant blue eyes that shine sapphires. She has one headphone in her ear the other hanging at her side. The wire is running down her front and into her pocket, I guess that it is a iPod.
“Who’re you?” She asks.
“I’m looking for Tristan?” I reply, still slightly shocked that there was a flaw in my plan.
She gives me a quick look over and decides that I’m not a threat to him or anyone in the house so she walks off to go find him. This is when I un-strap the metal bar from behind my back. I kept it there for this precise moment. Tristan walks to the front door and looks at me, not even remotely shocked. He must have heard me and recognised my voice.
“Hi there.” He says casually.
“Hi.” I say, sneering. I quickly swing the bar at his gut, this will wind him so I can hit him again easily. I smile, then my eyes open wide. I thought a blow that hard and fast would wind him. He was stood casually with the metal bar in his hand.
“Thanks.” He gives hit a tug and steps back. The bar is ripped from my hands and I am pulled forward and onto the floor.
“Ooft!” I shout. I roll onto my back and look at my hands, the old crappy bar has cut my hands when he pulled it so sharply.
“…” He grabs my collar and picks me up, I am not even touching the floor.
“Get off!” I shout in his face.
“Does Dear Jack know where you are?” He says, teasing.
“Yes. They decided to let us go.” I lied. He frowns now, he can tell I’m lying. But, how? I’m normally so convincing when I lie. At that moment Tristan looks slightly to the left of me at someone and I struggling to turn my head to look, Tristan turns me around, still firmly grasping my collar. “Kira!” I yell. She’s been in a rough fight. She’s covered in blood. Wait, Vampire…Oh god.
“Hey Ti- ” Then she stops and her eyes turn red.
“Kira?” She doesn’t reply. I look at Jack who’s holding Kira by the collar, “What’s wrong with her?”
“Her Vampiric instincts are kicking in…” He says, looking confused. I guess he doesn’t even know himself.
“This should be fun.” Tristan says, he obviously knows why. Then I grasp it…My hands. They’re covered in blood from the metal bar. I raise my hand and look at them then growl at Tristan.
“That’s your fault.”
“Hey, I didn’t ASK you to attack me with a metal bar.” He says calmly, clearly he doesn’t care what happens to me.
“Kira, calm down. It’s me Titch, I’ve known you for 3 years. We’re best friends.”
“That isn’t going to work.” Says a new voice from behind Tristan, he automatically drops me and Kim steps out in front of him.
“Kim…” Tristan starts.
“Shut it. The only way for her to stop is to let her go.” Kim explains.
“Kira will kill her.” Jack steps in.
“I know. It’s the only way.”
“Wha- ” I start.
“The only way for a Vampire to get over their Vampire instincts is to kill someone close to them. If they’re good Vampires they’ll never touch blood human blood again, only animals. If they’re bad Vampires…” She trails off.
“If they’re bad Vampires…?” I encourage her.
“Then anyone bleeding is screwed.” She says darkly.
Everyone immediately turns to look at Kira.
“Kira’s definetly good.” I say. Jack slowly lets go of Kira and she’s by my side in half a second. She tightly grasps my wrists, “Ow!” I complain, as I look at Kira’s hands I notice that her nails are like blades piercing my skin and she starts drinking my blood. At first I feel nothing then several minutes pass and I feel drowsy.
“Kira, stop.” Jack says, clearly he wants no one dying in his Town.
“Kira…Ow…” I start. To my amazement, she stops and lets go of me and sprints away. The last thing left of her is the wind blowing Jack’s coat as she sprint’s past him.
My vision is blurry as I see a lot of black and white. It must be the sky. Then I see a big white circle with smaller black circles inside of it: Jack. The whiteness slowly fades until I’m only left with black.
Darkness.
