Johnny was fast asleep in my cage
Yes, yes my cage has a bed and everything, what can I say am still their daughter you know
"Arrg my head, " Johnny said whining trying to get up
"Stay back down" I yelled
"What happened," he said rubbing the back of his head while sitting straight
"Nothing much," I said practically blinking
"Oh really," he said not convinced
"Yeah nothing at all" I began blinking again
"Then tell me why am I in your cage"
"Are you?... I didn't notice" I began blinking again
" You gotta work on your lie huh Rita?"
"Curse my blinking" sighs "are you ok?"
"Hellooo..am in a cage!! "
"Sorry but that's the only way we could stop you"
"Stop me? " he asked confused
"Yeah don't you remember, you tried killing all of us with your supernatural powers" he looked at me confused
"Don't we already have.." before he could finish that sentence I quickly jump in and say
"You know what I mean" I sigh "but for reals, you're okay right?" He smiles
"I am, you don't have to worry about me rat" I close my eyes lost of words
"what have I told you about calling me rat" he just sticks his tongue out and laughed.
"That's it " I carry a pillow while he covers his face and about hitting him with it when my mom walks in
"Honey what are you doing?" while still frozen in my position as Johnny raising his head slowly I smile and said
"Nothing, I was just about flopping the pillow for him" I began flopping it hard glaring at Johnny, he sticks his tongue out again "prrft baby"
"Now now," my mum said dropping a cup on the table," is time for you guys to drink your special formula if you know you wanna go outside today"
I begin to whine "but mum..it tastes horrible.." she gives me the cup to drink out of it, I gave her the I don't wanna look, she returned it by giving me the I don't care eyes, I hold my breath and drank it, I nearly barf, Johnny just pointed and laughed.
"Now your turn Johnny," my mum said approaching him with the blow, "I don't get out much aunty A"
"Drink the smelly formula, Johnny, drink it..." I said mocking him, he held his breath like I did and drank it "there I drank your sunblock, am sick of the cage I need to get out of here " he quickly stands up from the metal bed and carried the pillow from my hand and left, my mum and I just watch him leave
"You know honey, the full moon will be up soon and-" I interrupt
"Mum please, am getting late for school" I quickly leave
______ High school a place for the weird and unweird, funny thing is I'm the weirdest here, I only got one friend and that happens to be my bestie, and I love her so much, but sometimes I feel if she gets to know the real me that she'd think am a freak and leave or she'll tell the authorities or even if she happens to accept me, I'd feel like her pet cause come on am practically an animal, my thought gets interrupted by a loud horn
A jock in a sports car filled with cheerleaders, he pushes his horn again "move it weirdo" I quickly get in my senses and leave the way, as he drove by I yelled sorry and one of the cheerleaders yelled "well fuck you" I just let it slide and just got focused on getting inside the school
____ I arrive at my locker, I was about bringing out the key when someone covers my eyes
"You do this every day, you don't have to keep doing it I know it's your bestie" she let go of my eyes and gave me a big hug "and my bestie is the best" she just kept jumping
"You want something don't you," I said starring at her
"Whaaat...noooo" she continues jumping
"No matter how you try to hide it I can still tell, I know you pretty well" she sighs
"Can you ask your cousin to be my date for the school's dance" she began starring at me and I can swear her eyes got bigger
"Am sorry I can't Johnny is uhmm.. different"
"How?" She folds her arms and gives me a look
"He's not normal, his not normally normal" shit what am I even saying
"What the heck are you saying!!" she exclaimed
"What am trying to say is his not good for you"
"What is there not to like, his cute his full of mystery, he wears black, totally my bad boy type... please just talk to him about it" she whines
I sigh.."okay I will"
She jumps "yay" and gives me a hug
The bell rings all of a sudden
"Come on let's go to class" I quickly open my locker"one sec" brought out a biology textbook and lock my locker "let's go"
"Are you planning on even bringing a date?" Is she even for reals
"Not in a million years"
"Come on please.."
"No"
"For me"
" Oh gosh..damn does big eyes of yours " we both laugh
Now I have to think of a way to convince Jhonny not to go with her, cause I know Frankie she would even find a way to get his number, and Jhonny well I can't trust him with my only friend, other girls he's ever gone out with he always get caught, mostly when it comes to selfies, some times he forgets he doesn't appear in them, one of his girlfriends who knew his secret, the last girl he ever dated tried killing him, he so hearted to broken he was in his bat form for weeks. It took him months to get over her and when he did, let's just say he got his revenge as we speak she's in a mental hospital.don't get me wrong Jhonny is a good guy and a great cousin who loves his family but he has a really dark side, his vamp side.
"So are we clear on what you're going to do," I said starring at Johnny while he was hanging upside down"No everything you just said is just giving me a headache""Or maybe its because you're hanging upside down, ever thought of that?" He thinks then comes down and stands straight
"Frankie you've already tried more than 20 dresses pick one already" she stands looking at the mirror admiring the plain blue handless dress she put on I try to sit far from where the mirror reflected "What do you think, too simple?" I stare, she turns around showing me the dress
"Should I say yes?, no what if something goes wrong, I mean I just met the guy, but tonights the night, I don't know what to do" Frankie looks at me with a kind of confusing face? "You think am crazy right?" "Not at all, OK maybe a little" I giggle when she said that "I guess you're just scared, when did he send you the text"
I walk fast towards the exist then I feel someone grab my hand, I turn and see mike "Where are you going pretty? " Mike tightens his grib "whoa Rita is...is that you?" he asked with disbelieve. I answer sarcastically "Oh No the real Rita is home asleep and am her twin "he giggles w
What can I say?, how can I explain?, what if she doesn't want to see me again?. these are the thoughts going through my head, I didn't know how to approach her or what to tell her. walking towards her right now I can sight her at her locker, okay I don't really remember much from last night ex
my mum and dad are freaking out about the situation, and it caused them to a huge fight, they weren't even talking to each other, which is so unlike them. "Mum, Dad, Johnny am off to school" Johnny yells "You don't have to announce it just get out of here so I can go to bed" I roll my eyes
I couldn't believe what I just heard Johnny wouldn't be able to go out during the day all because he drank human blood, how come we didn't notice. maybe like mum said is because Johnny doesn't go out, he mostly does his things at night. "Rita let's give Johnny his space," my mum said leaving while I follow her from behind
The moonlight was bright and there was no stars In sight, that's how it has been in this part of Transylvania. the moonlight beautified Dracula's castle. There was a count starring deep in the bright moon. "Father if you keep doing that one day you'll eventually need glasses and where have you heard of a count using glasses," A handsome young Dracula said mockingly
