We heard a car coming up the driveway, so I ran to the window to make sure it was Mike and his parents. it was so we grabbed our four bags and ran down the stairs. We wanted to get out of that place as soon as possble. We got to the door at the same time as mike and his dad did and opened the door just as they went to knock.

"Hi!" I said to Mike as i walked out thedoor and he took my heaviest bag.

"Thank you so much for this.", Josh said to Mike's dad, Joe.

" You are so welcome."

We walked to the car and quickly put everything in the trunk as me, Mike, and Josh got into the backseat. We left and were back at Mike's house within the next half hour. We all bailed from the car and everyone helped unload all of our stuff. We got bedrooms right beside each other and mine was in between Mike's and josh's. We put all of our stuff in the rooms and started unpcking all of our clothes and the few personal belongings we had. We took turns taking showers and then went downstairsto eat supperat about nine. As soon as we were finished with dinner the family said that they needed to speak with us about something. We said okay and walked into the living room.

" What happened today to make you want to run away?", Mr. Joe asked us.

" Our father grounded us and beat us because Michelle walked down to the stream beside our house for a minute before coming nside the house, and i told our father that i didn't know where she was but I thought that was where she went." Josh explained.

"That was the only reason he beat you?" Mike asked.

"Well, and our stepmother told him we haven't been doing anything to help around the house, but we've been doing almost everything!" I said.

"Oh yeah, What did you have to talk to us about before we decided we were definately goingto stay with you?", josh asked.

Ummm. this is goingto be a bishock for both of you because you have known me for so long.....", Mike said.

"Mike? What is it?", i said softly.

"We are vampires.", Mike's mom Diana whispered softly........
