Chapter 5

“Do all vampires always live out of town?” I asked Bart, driving further and further away from Twistchapel. I was following Allen’s instructions, which were leading me deeper into another forest.

“Usually,” said Bart, licking his paws. “Except for some Eastern European countries. They’re more willing to be seen out and about over there.”

“Makes sense,” I nodded.

“They’re probably not going to be very happy to see you.”

“Why do you say that?”

“It’s still the middle of the day,” he said. “Don’t you know they sleep during the day and are up at night?”

“Oh… right,” I said. Forgot about that one. I guess I should’ve known at least some of the stories of vampires were true, since one turned into ash from being in the sun. “Tonights not great, though, since I’ve got dinner with Drake.”

“And tomorrow doesn’t work because of bowling with werewolves, and Saturday night you’ve got Bridgette,” said Bart. “For someone who never goes out on the weekends, you have an oddly packed next few nights.”

“I know,” I groaned as I turned off onto a gravel road. “I’ve got so much to do.”

“That, plus it really interferes with trying to talk with vampires.”

We were getting close, so I started looking around for what kind of exciting place we’d see. Would there be a whole other secret town in these woods? Would they be modern, living in large houses in a gated community to keep prying eyes away? Maybe a giant castle! I bet there would be vampire guards stationed all along the tops, perhaps a draw bridge.

Following the directions from Allen’s text, I pulled up next to a small, broken down, wooden shack. It was so small it almost looked more like an outhouse.

I kept trying to scroll down on the message, past all of the smiley face and poop emojis. No other directions.

We had arrived.

“Really?” I asked as we pulled up to a tiny wooden shack. I parked the car.

“What were you expecting?”

“I don’t know… a castle?” I said.

“If you wanted to hide from the general human population, you’d build a giant castle on the outskirts of a town to do so?”

“Okay, okay,” I said defensively. “I guess I wouldn’t make a good vampire.”

“That’s for sure,” nodded Bart. “Hopefully you won’t do anything here to make them turn you.”

“But… I thought Allen and Warren said they don’t eat human blood anymore?” I said.

“That’s the public story, but I wouldn’t be very surprised if there were some occasional attacks. Besides, they don’t exactly kill you to turn you. They just have to give you a little bite.”

Bart wasn’t boosting my confidence about going inside, but I couldn’t just sit in the car all day staring at a broken down shack in the middle of nowhere. I got out of my car and made for the wooden shack. Bart hopped glided through my side window and followed after me.

Knock. Knock.

I knocked on the door to the shack and waited.

A minute passed. Then two. Then nearly five.

“Maybe they are sleeping?” offered Bart.
