Chapter 3

As soon as Owen started school, everything imploded.

This "thing" happened in his school.

It was rumored that this girl in Owen's school died.

No one knew why or how.

But before she completely died, someone noticed her struggling and she told them that someone bit her and she started to feel eccentric.

It was all over the news and media.

Some people claimed there was a vampire so they closed the school for a few months.

Vampire? I'd thought.

No.

It has to be a lie.

Right?

I talked to Mom about this.

"Isn't it weird that as soon as Owen started school, this incident happened?" I'd asked, carefully.

"So, you doubt he's human?" Mom asked suspiciously.

"N-no" I blundered.

But then I thought of his pointed tooth.

Fangs? I'd thought.

No.

"But, I do agree to the fact that things did get weird when Owen started school." Mom admitted.

"Why, though?" I'd asked, perturbed.

"I don't know, honey." Mom sighed.

"Speaking of which, where is Owen?" She'd asked.

I'd shrugged.

Then, without any warning there was a shrill scream.

"What was that?" Mom asked as she'd abruptly stood up from the couch in our living room.

"I-I don't know." I'd stuttered.

"I think it came from outside." Mom said and she'd went to the front door.

I'd followed her.

When I'd looked outside, I'd heard someone scream again. It went on continuously.

Then I'd realized it was coming from me.

I'd stopped myself, frozen in shock.

My cousin, Owen, was sinking his teeth in a young teenage girls hand, sucking her blood.
