      Night of the Vampire - Heather Beck

      Kristine Locke tossed and turned in bed, just like she’d been doing for the last two hours. She looked at her bedside clock, which read 1:03, and sighed. She’d wanted to get a good night’s sleep before starting school tomorrow, but that obviously wouldn’t be happening.

      The Locke’s had moved to the sleepy town of Darscadia exactly one week ago. Since they’d been busy getting their new house in order, Kristine hadn’t seen much of the town, but what she had seen, she adored. Darscadia was a small town with a vintage feel. The main street was lined with small shops in nineteenth century buildings, and the closest thing to a modern store was the grocers, which was at the end of the street and belonged to a large chain company. Darscadia also had a scenic park with a river and even a lift lock, where small boats could pass through on route to other towns.

      Sighing yet again, Kristine stared at the ceiling. Although she liked her new town very much, she still missed her old school and especially all her friends. Thoughts of what might be happening in her former hometown of Somerville floated through her mind, until she finally fell asleep.

      ––––––––

      The buzzing of an alarm clock jarred Kristine from her slumber. She groaned and hit the snooze button, but before she could fall back to sleep, her eyes flew open upon remembering that today was her first day at Darscadia High School. She quickly showered, got dressed and then headed toward the kitchen. 

      When Kristine entered the kitchen, she let out a cry of terror; the room was a complete mess.  The small dining table in the corner was overturned, and all the drawers had been pulled open, the contents now littering the floor. The tall cabinet doors were torn at the hinges and the dishes that they once contained lay broken on the floor. Although the ransacked kitchen was a frightening sight, it was the writing on the white refrigerator door that really terrified her.

      If you want to live, go home, Kristine slowly read the words, which were written in a blood red marker.

      A sudden shrill noise echoed throughout the kitchen, causing Kristine to cover her ears. She didn’t know what the sound was or even where it was coming from. All she knew was that she had to get out of there now.

      Kristine ran out of the kitchen and through the foyer. She’d just opened the front door when she let out another cry. There, standing right before her, was
