Kristie and Karin burst through the door to Karin’s apartment panting from escaping their little scrap. It seems they always got home from running or freaking out for some reason but nonetheless. “That was… exciting?” Karin said a bit sarcastic as she looked at Kristie with sorry eyes but with a half smile waiting for forgiveness since she practically asked to be captured. All of a sudden Karin’s head jerked to the right in reaction to Kristie slapping her. Karin was wide eyed as she kept still for several seconds then turned to Kristie with an understanding yet confused face. Kristie had her hand remain in the air, from slapping Karin, as she had her bangs over her eyes. She then looked at Karin with sad eyes as if she were about to cry. “I was so worried about you.” She said in a stern yet calm voice. Karin remained silent as she gazed directly into Kristie’s eyes while they were half closed. “I’m sorry… ” Was all she could say, but she was. Karin knew in the back of her mind that if she went looking for trouble, that trouble was surely looking for her too. But something was drawing her back more and more. She didn’t know if it was good, she didn’t care if it was bad. But all the same she, and Kristie, would defiantly see those guys, vampires, again. Suddenly, to the total opposite of what she had just done, Kristie hugged Karin tightly. Karin widened her eyes as she obviously did not expect it and paused for a second before smiling and hugging Kristie back. “Karin I was so scared for you! Is this really happening?” She asked while she continued to hug Karin. “I… guess so… I never thought anything like this would happen, especially to us.” “I know.” Kristie replied and broke the hug and walked to the living room while Karin followed and sat on the floor, as Kristie sat on the couch. “So tell me why you went back there? Alone none the less!” Kristie interrogated Karin with stern eyes. “I suppose I was just curious?” Karin said or more like asked herself. She really didn’t know why she was drawn there, or to Julian but she just was. A touch of fate maybe? Karin looked up at Kristie, who was looking at the floor in disbelief. Karin’s eyes were sorrowful. “C’mon, the next time I go looking for a prison cell I’ll invite you with me! Deal?” Karin said trying to lighten the mood. Kristie cracked a smile and looked at Karin with new happy eyes. “Deal.”
“Dammit! I can’t believe I let her get away!” Julian shouted as she hit the wall with his fists. He and Adrian had just returned to the mansion after trying to catch Karin and Kristie but obviously failed. Adrian shut the door to their mansion and walked up to his brother who was now lying on their couch in the living room, one hand caressing the middle of his forehead with his thumb and index finger. Adrian sat on the big love seat that was a few feet away from the fireplace that was sparking from barely any wood. He starred at it a bit before looking at Julian. “C’mon, you can’t expect her to just stay in the basement. You should have known her friend would come to save her.” Adrian said giving Julian the full facts. Julian on the other hand was a bit pissed that Adrian would provoke him but he closed his eyes and rested his arm on his stomach while the other one hung off the couch. “I know that, I knew that but I didn’t really expect Kristie to come so soon. Those girls are pretty bright.” Julian said with his eyebrows narrowed. “I guess so. I didn’t really pay attention.” Adrian said looking to his side. “You never do.” Julian replied, while getting a small glare from his little brother. “I’m going to sleep.” Julian continued and got up from the couch headed to his room. “Why are you constantly trying to confine Karin?” Adrian asked while turning his head to look at his brother. Julian didn’t move he was standing up straight and kept his arms to his side as he stared, or more like glared at the space in front of him. “What other reason is there?” He asked back in a scornful tone. What reason was he talking about?
The next day at Karin’s apartment was a normal one except for the fact that it was Monday that meant Karin had to work. She didn’t really mind working and she liked some of the people at the restaurant but she just didn’t like getting up early, and considering the epic night she and Kristie previously had she forgot to set her alarm. Karin’s eyes slowly opened and kept in a dazed position. She felt the soft yet hard surface of their living room carpet. She supposed that she and Kristie stayed up late talking a lot and they just fell asleep in the living room. Suddenly her eyes jet open and she sat up. “Oh crap!” She yelled, while in the process of waking up the unexpected Kristie. “I didn’t do it!” Kristie said still half dreaming as she sat up on one elbow on the couch. “What’s going on?” She asked rubbing her eye while Karin was half way out of the room and into hers. “I’m late for work that’s what!” She yelled from her room frantically as she stripped off her clothes and threw on some deodorant. She then put on her work uniform. It was a very cute uniform that not many restaurants would acquire. It was off the typical, hoary, uniforms and morphed into a cool, Lolita of some sort, which was Karin’s favorite style of clothing. It was a dark blue dress that stopped at her thighs and had short sleeves. There was part of it that looked like an apron but it was sewn onto the dress itself. The pink under skirt was ruffled from the bust down and gave a little bit of a poof but not so much Cinderella wide. “I’ll see you when I get back. I’m also going grocery shopping afterwards, is there anything you want?” Karin said quickly as she grabbed her purse with a skelanimals cat on the bottom right corner, and slipped on come comfortable heels then walking back to the living room. “Yeah, more cereal, ramen and ice cream!” Kristie shouted as she looked at the almost empty cupboard in the kitchen. “Can you at least try and be healthy for once in your life?” Karin questioned “Nope.” Kristie smiled, and Karin was off.
“Where the hell is that girl? I don’t pay her to be late!” Karin’s manager muffled to himself while he checked his watch, and went back into the restaurant.
As Karin put her arm down from just checking her watch she cursed at how the events that went down last night had to be so late. “I probably got to sleep at 2 in the morning, so much for being responsible.” (Her job starts at 9AM and it’s around 12PM now.) She then looked at the sky and sighed. “Did that really happen? Did Kristie and I really meet two vampires? They could have just been fake teeth, I don’t know.” She thought while she closed her eyes and shook her head. “No, I’ll think about that tonight, right now I just have to get to work!” Karin though again as she sped off into the distance.
“Haha Hahahahahaha!” A man on the TV screen laughed as Kristie watched intently even though she had already seen this current episode before. “I need something to amuse myself.” Kristie said as she turned off the TV and stood up. Then it hit her. “Maybe I could, no, no Karin and I made a pact that we wouldn’t go alone! But still… “ Kristie thought while feuding with herself. If she did go back the Belvidere’s mansion what were the chases of her being caught? It was a 40 – 60. There was a 60% chance they weren’t vampires, which meant they would be awake and she would get caught, and there was a 40% chance they were, and she wouldn’t be caught and become their mid-day snack. “C’mon, will my curiosity really betray Karin?” Kristie asked herself as she went to her room and stripped out of all her clothes from the night before and wrapped a towel around her body. “I’ll… think about it.” Kristie said while she walked to the bathroom and turned the shower handle to hot. She checked it with her hands to make sure it was the right temperate. “I mean it’s not like Karin will throw me out if I go back their. She’ll understand.” She let the towel fall to the clean marble floor as she stepped into the little waterfall.
“I’m so sorry I’m late Mr. Kanen, I had a long night and forgot to set my alarm.” Karin apologized with a quick bow, and then stood up straight. “This is the third time you’ve been late Karin, we don’t have many employees and you’re our best. I don’t want to have to fire you.” He replied in a stern strict voice. “Fire?! No way there’s no need for that!” Karin started in an almost frantic tone. “I promise I’ll work twice as hard today to make up for the loss, okay?” She smiled. Mr. Kanen sighed. “Just make sure it doesn’t happen again or I will let you go.” He smiled. Karin nodded and walked into the restaurant.
After drops of water flew everywhere Kristie took out the hairdryer and sat on a stool that was in front of the bathroom mirror and turned it on. “Okay, think about it, if I did go there’s like no chance of Karin finding out that I went there alone.” She switched sides of her hair to dry the other. “And I’m pretty sure that I wont be caught, I know the place better now I can evade anything they throw at me!” She thought as she set the hot hairdryer on her lap, which was still in her hand. She paused for a few seconds before turning it off.
“Okay, I’ll be right back!” Karin said with a smile to her fifth customer. Once she was done writing down what the family wanted she smiled again and walked off to the kitchen and hung it on the rack where orders could be seen to the chefs. Karin then calmly went to the drink machine and got three cups, poured the variety of flavored liquids into the cups and put them on a plate. She then turned around to see her next customer, a familiar white haired man who looked to be about 25-30. She gasped slightly and stared at him for a few more seconds. “It couldn’t be him! Could it?” She thought and started to walk past him. “I’ll be right with you, sir.” She said a bit quietly but enough for him to hear. He was wearing dark sunglasses, black jeans and a dark red button up shirt. From all the stares he was getting it seemed he didn’t go out much, or needed a tan. He looked as white as snow. “Here are your drinks, and your meal will be out shortly.” Karin smiled and got a few ‘thank yous’ from the family. She then pulled out a few straws from her pocket and set them on the table, then walked back to the podium where she saw the white haired man. But something big was missing from the picture, him! Karin’s eyebrows narrowed slightly as she looked around the 10 by 10 space where the customers were supposed to wait to be seated but no one was there. Karin then went to the glass doors and looked out. It wasn’t particularly sunny out but it wasn’t as black as a storm. It was the same gray as the day before. She put her hand on it and looked harder. Nothing, nothing unusual. Just the everyday hustle and bustle of people walking down the street, driving down the road and bats flying overhead. “What?!” Karin thought as she shot a second glance at them. They were defiantly bats, slightly pointed wings, two pointy ears, and an entire black body. But what were they doing out in the daytime and why where were they going? “Hey, waitress! Where’s my food?!” A larger gentleman yelled shaking his fist. “Miss Lady, I want a refill!” Some smaller child yelled. Karin was then immediotly pulled away from her bat hunt and into her job. “Oh, I’m so sorry, I’ll be right there!” She looked back at the glass one more time to see the bats completely gone.
“Alright!” Kristie started as she pulled her backpack over her shoulder and tied her convers tight for a quick get away. She stood up straight and threw a fist in the air. “Let’s go!” She yelled as she heard loud banging’s coming from, the floor? “Quiet up their Kristie, I don’t give Karin almost free rent for you to keep shouting all the time! I’m trying to sleep!” Karin’s landlord, Mrs. Seleh, yelled through the two floors as she continued to hit her ceiling with a broom. Kristie lowered her hand in an embarrassed way. “Sorry Mrs. S! I’m going on an adventure!” Kristie apologized “Well have fun.” Mrs. Seleh finished in a tired tone. She was never a mean lady to anyone but when she was woken up or distracted from trying to sleep she was a monster. Kristie giggled and exited the apartment, hoping to come back.
As Kristie walked down the street she couldn’t help but hold her backpack tight. She was defiantly scared, cause who wouldn’t be? Going to investigate a mansion that could be filled with bloodthirsty vampires? Although Kristie was scared out of her mind she was equally excited. This was everything that she and Karin had talked about when they were little, being captured, falling in love with a vampire, getting married and never leaving your lover for eternity. Maybe she was getting to ahead of herself but she couldn’t dwell on the past, she just had to focus on the now. “Okay, I need to set a message for Karin’s cell just incase I get in trouble.” Kristie said aloud seeing as the dirt road held no other civilians and very few houses. It was an isolated area with no trees on either side of the road, and which road only led to the mansion so no one dared to go down it. She pulled out her cell phone from her backpack and opened it. “Hmm, it has to be a key word that wont get her in trouble if she has to bail, but a big enough one for her to know I’m in trouble… Ah, I know! How about, ‘I’m sorry!’ with an exclamation mark so she’ll emphasize the help if I need it. That’s good.” She then pushed several buttons so that the next time she pressed send then Karin’s phone would get the message. Kristie then closed her phone and put it back in her bag. She then took a deep breath, seeing the vast mansion a few miles away. “Sweet death, here I come!” She yelled as she turned on her heels and ran to the mansion.
“Thank you very much, and I’m sorry for making you wait.” Karin said to her last customer, that same rather large man who wanted his food. “It’s okay, I just get a little grumpy when I’m hungry, I’m sorry too. You really are a fine waitress though.” He smiled and stood up giving her a very generous tip. Karin stared wide eye at how much she just got from one customer. “Keep the change.” “Are you sure? This is a lot for one tip.” Karin argued, although she didn’t know why when she wanted the money. “Haha, modest too, it’s fine don’t worry.” He finished and smiled while walking out. Karin held the money close to her while she walked to the register to fill out his bill and keep her part. After a few moments of number crunching Karin was left with 45 dollars total. “This is awesome!” She thought while pocketing her money. “Ah, I see you did work hard today, good job Karin.” Mr. Kanen said while glancing over at Karin from his peripheral vision then walked away. Karin smiled and gathered her things as her shift came to an end. She looked at her watch and then at the sky from the door. “It may be to late to go shopping.” She started as her watch read 2:15. “And if it rains then the food will get all wet.” Karin then waved goodbye to her manager and several acquaintance employees which of none were her actual friends but still. As she walked down the sidewalk she noticed the streetlights were on. It was defiantly to early for them to be on, but on account of it being unusually dark outside, I suppose they had to. “Let’s see, cereal, ramen and ice cream, huh? Kristie I spoil you to much.” Karin laughed seeing as she loved all of those foods as well. She then looked at the sky wondering what Kristie was doing at the moment.
Kristie gulped as she was face to face with the Belvidere mansion. She was beginning to have second thoughts about going in and just returning to Karin’s apartment, but she had come all this way and wasn’t going to waste it. Kristie then pulled out her cell phone to make sure that the forwarded message to Karin didn’t wear off, which hadn’t. “2:18, Karin said she was going shopping so that means I should just investigate for a little bit so I’ll be back before Karin gets home. Right.” Kristie thought as she put her phone in her pocket, instead of her backpack, for easy reach. She then permitted to the back of their mansion making sure not to pass any windows where they could see her from inside, and if she did encounter a window she would just duck underneath it. Once she was at the back she noticed the hatchway was open. “That peculiar.” She thought walking closer to it, inch by inch. Once she was close enough to see inside she noticed that there was a door a few feet away on the mansions outer wall. She recognized to be the same door that Ethan led her in to help rescue Karin. “This must be another way to the basement.” She quietly walked to the front of the hatchway and was about to go inside when she thought she heard something behind her. She whirled around to see nothing. Nothing but the four inch grass blowing harshly in the wind, Kristie’s hair followed the same pattern as she turned around and exhaled a deep breath and entered the mansion.
“Let’s see, ramen, ramen, ramen… ramen!” Karin said quietly to herself as she picked up several packets of her and Kristie’s favorite chicken flavored ramen, and put it in the portable carriage around her right arm. As she proceeded through the aisles she got several looks from people, seeing as how she was still wearing her uniform that flared attention. She ignored them though and kept on shopping. “And cereal.” She stated as she looked at the whole wall of varieties of cereal. She picked out her usual box of Fruity Pebbles and Cookie Crisp for Kristie, and put them in the carriage.
“Oh my god spider!” Kristie though while she tried to get away from the arachnid clinging to the cement wall as fast as possible. This was defiantly the perfect location to shoot a horror film but in a more fancy, chic way. “What the hell am I looking for anyway? Well, I guess I could be trying to find out if they are real vampires, yeah Karin will believe that.” Kristie finished and unrelentingly walked through the basement until she came to a door, which was on the other side of where she entered. She had wide eyes, as she was too nervous to open the door. She bit her lip and rose her hand while the other took her cell phone out and readied it to press send. She gulped quietly as she held the phone close to her rapidly beating heart. The door opened, but Kristie didn’t open it. Once it was fully open she was standing face to face with Adrian Belvidere. His dirty blonde hair falling over parts of his face, he was wearing black jeans, which had white straps connecting to the front of his belt loops and crisscrossed to his back ones. His shirt was almost like a tank top but more of a zip up vest, which had a calligraphy white X on the back of it, just a simple design. Kristie blushed, she had to admit that Julian was cute and in fact both of the brothers were dead sexy but there was just something about Adrian that she liked more, something that sparked her interest. She was to scared to say anything but she sure was trembling enough. Adrian looked just as surprised as she was. It wasn’t everyday you sneak into someone’s house and it wasn’t everyday someone sneaks into your house. Adrian looked at her in disbelief seeing as how he didn’t think she would come back to their house, and alone nonetheless. He then smirked. “Why hello. I didn’t expect you to be back this soon, or at all for that matter.” Adrian said as he walked around her and took a step forward, as she took one backwards. It seems he was leading her inside. Kristie stood clutching her phone close but under her sleeve so Adrian wouldn’t see, she refused to speak as much as she wanted to though. This made Adrian laugh slightly. “You don’t have to worry, kidnapping people and tying them up isn’t my thing more so my brother, and he has no interest in you.” At this Kristie had to say something. “Well then I guess I have no point in being here!” She said quietly frustrated at how he practically told her off. She then moved around him and started walking, rather quickly, to the hatchway where she came. But Adrian holding onto her wrist stopped her from moving. Luckily for Kristie it wasn’t the hand that was holding the cell. “Hold on there, he may have no interest in you but I do.” Adrian said with a smirk, but his tone said that he was being serious which was defiantly a change. Kristie looked at him skeptically. Was he being serious? Did he really like her, or did he just want to drink her blood? She smirked and turned her head to face away from him. “Ha, I highly doubt that. You just want me to think you do so you can take me to your room bite me, then have your way with me, right?” She asked while yanking her wrist away but Adrian refused to let her go. He took her upper arm and wrapped his arms around her waist while holding onto her chin. Kristie gasped at Adrian’s movements but more so that she dropped her cell phone, although Adrian didn’t seem to notice. “Come on, I wouldn’t lie.” He said while giving her a toothy grin revealing his sharp canine teeth. “Especially not to you.” He continued as she moved so it was more of a whisper into her ear, and then bit it softly. Kristie gasped as she bit her lip. She had to admit Adrian’s embrace felt good, and it especially felt good when he bit her ear but she didn’t even know this guy, and she wasn’t about to be seduced. She then pretended to play along for a few seconds before she moved her leg so she stepped on her cell phone completely. Sending…
“Dammit! I can’t believe I let her get away!” Julian shouted as she hit the wall with his fists. He and Adrian had just returned to the mansion after trying to catch Karin and Kristie but obviously failed. Adrian shut the door to their mansion and walked up to his brother who was now lying on their couch in the living room, one hand caressing the middle of his forehead with his thumb and index finger. Adrian sat on the big love seat that was a few feet away from the fireplace that was sparking from barely any wood.

This is a lot for one tip.” Karin argued, although she didn’t know why when she wanted the money. “Haha, modest too, it’s fine don’t worry.” He finished and smiled while walking out. Karin held the money close to her while she walked to the register to fill out his bill and keep her part. After a few moments of number crunching Karin was left with 45 dollars total. “This is awesome!” She thought while pocketing her money. “Ah, I see you did work hard today, good job Karin.” Mr. Kanen said while glancing over at Karin from his peripheral vision then walked away. Karin smiled and gathered her things as her shift came to an end. She looked at her watch and then at the sky from the door. “It may be to late to go shopping.” She started as her watch read 2:15. “And if it rains then the food will get all wet.” Karin then waved goodbye to her manager and several acquaintance employees which of none were her actual friends but still. As she walked down the sidewalk she noticed the streetlights were on. It was defiantly to early for them to be on, but on account of it being unusually dark outside, I suppose they had to. “Let’s see, cereal, ramen and ice cream, huh? Kristie I spoil you to much.” Karin laughed seeing as she loved all of those foods as well. She then looked at the sky wondering what Kristie was doing at the moment.
Kristie gulped as she was face to face with the Belvidere mansion. She was beginning to have second thoughts about going in and just returning to Karin’s apartment, but she had come all this way and wasn’t going to waste it. Kristie then pulled out her cell phone to make sure that the forwarded message to Karin didn’t wear off, which hadn’t. “2:18, Karin said she was going shopping so that means I should just investigate for a little bit so I’ll be back before Karin gets home. Right.” Kristie thought as she put her phone in her pocket, instead of her backpack, for easy reach. She then permitted to the back of their mansion making sure not to pass any windows where they could see her from inside, and if she did encounter a window she would just duck underneath it. Once she was at the back she noticed the hatchway was open. “That peculiar.” She thought walking closer to it, inch by inch. Once she was close enough to see inside she noticed that there was a door a few feet away on the mansions outer wall. She recognized to be the same door that Ethan led her in to help rescue Karin. “This must be another way to the basement.” She quietly walked to the front of the hatchway and was about to go inside when she thought she heard something behind her. She whirled around to see nothing. Nothing but the four inch grass blowing harshly in the wind, Kristie’s hair followed the same pattern as she turned around and exhaled a deep breath and entered the mansion.
“Let’s see, ramen, ramen, ramen… ramen!” Karin said quietly to herself as she picked up several packets of her and Kristie’s favorite chicken flavored ramen, and put it in the portable carriage around her right arm. As she proceeded through the aisles she got several looks from people, seeing as how she was still wearing her uniform that flared attention. She ignored them though and kept on shopping. “And cereal.” She stated as she looked at the whole wall of varieties of cereal. She picked out her usual box of Fruity Pebbles and Cookie Crisp for Kristie, and put them in the carriage.
“Oh my god spider!” Kristie though while she tried to get away from the arachnid clinging to the cement wall as fast as possible. This was defiantly the perfect location to shoot a horror film but in a more fancy, chic way. “What the hell am I looking for anyway? Well, I guess I could be trying to find out if they are real vampires, yeah Karin will believe that.” Kristie finished and unrelentingly walked through the basement until she came to a door, which was on the other side of where she entered. She had wide eyes, as she was too nervous to open the door. She bit her lip and rose her hand while the other took her cell phone out and readied it to press send. She gulped quietly as she held the phone close to her rapidly beating heart. The door opened, but Kristie didn’t open it. Once it was fully open she was standing face to face with Adrian Belvidere. His dirty blonde hair falling over parts of his face, he was wearing black jeans, which had white straps connecting to the front of his belt loops and crisscrossed to his back ones. His shirt was almost like a tank top but more of a zip up vest, which had a calligraphy white X on the back of it, just a simple design. Kristie blushed, she had to admit that Julian was cute and in fact both of the brothers were dead sexy but there was just something about Adrian that she liked more, something that sparked her interest. She was to scared to say anything but she sure was trembling enough. Adrian looked just as surprised as she was. It wasn’t everyday you sneak into someone’s house and it wasn’t everyday someone sneaks into your house. Adrian looked at her in disbelief seeing as how he didn’t think she would come back to their house, and alone nonetheless. He then smirked. “Why hello. I didn’t expect you to be back this soon, or at all for that matter.” Adrian said as he walked around her and took a step forward, as she took one backwards. It seems he was leading her inside. Kristie stood clutching her phone close but under her sleeve so Adrian wouldn’t see, she refused to speak as much as she wanted to though. This made Adrian laugh slightly. “You don’t have to worry, kidnapping people and tying them up isn’t my thing more so my brother, and he has no interest in you.” At this Kristie had to say something. “Well then I guess I have no point in being here!” She said quietly frustrated at how he practically told her off. She then moved around him and started walking, rather quickly, to the hatchway where she came. But Adrian holding onto her wrist stopped her from moving. Luckily for Kristie it wasn’t the hand that was holding the cell. “Hold on there, he may have no interest in you but I do.” Adrian said with a smirk, but his tone said that he was being serious which was defiantly a change. Kristie looked at him skeptically. Was he being serious? Did he really like her, or did he just want to drink her blood? She smirked and turned her head to face away from him. “Ha, I highly doubt that. You just want me to think you do so you can take me to your room bite me, then have your way with me, right?” She asked while yanking her wrist away but Adrian refused to let her go. He took her upper arm and wrapped his arms around her waist while holding onto her chin. Kristie gasped at Adrian’s movements but more so that she dropped her cell phone, although Adrian didn’t seem to notice. “Come on, I wouldn’t lie.” He said while giving her a toothy grin revealing his sharp canine teeth. “Especially not to you.” He continued as she moved so it was more of a whisper into her ear, and then bit it softly. Kristie gasped as she bit her lip. She had to admit Adrian’s embrace felt good, and it especially felt good when he bit her ear but she didn’t even know this guy, and she wasn’t about to be seduced. She then pretended to play along for a few seconds before she moved her leg so she stepped on her cell phone completely. Sending…
