783 Words4 Pages

When Your Mom Falls in Love with Dracula I didn’t find out what happened until the next night… When I heard the doorbell ring. My front door had a little peephole I could look through to see who was there. When I finally checked, I saw my mom and Vlad. My mom was carrying a grocery bag which smelled of chocolate. Soon, my stomach smiled. I pulled out the box of chocolate chip waffles from the bag and placed it on the kitchen table. The following Saturday morning, I had my breakfast and went to my room so I could finish my homework for the weekend. As soon as I started, Vlad came into my room. I talked to him for a while and he actually seemed pretty nice. For me though, he still was a little weird and creepy. He told me one thing before …show more content…

Did he just say he wanted to drink blood?! I hopped onto my computer to research something about cannibalism because I assumed he was either a cannibal or he just liked drinking animal blood. Suddenly it finally hit me, Vlad was a vampire. He’s from Romania, he is a “blood pathologist”, he wears a cape all the time, and he also mentioned that his pale complexion could burn very easily. My mom started acting almost exactly like Vlad after that day I had that talk with him. You see, my mom usually drives me to school in the morning, but for some reason she stopped doing that. So now I have to take the bus like almost everyone else does.She also started talking in this monotonous tone instead of her normal voice. The weirdest thing of all was when I saw two little bite marks on her neck like some sort of a bite you get from a snake or a VAMPIRE! I knew this would probably happen, but now I knew what I had to …show more content…

I could feel a very sharp pain on my neck before everything blacked out. Something bit through my garlic necklace. The very last thing I heard was… “Goodbye, Rocky.” When I woke up I saw that I was lying in bed. My mom asked me what had happened because she told me I was passed out for ten minutes (in her monotonous voice). I started telling my mom everything that had happened. Of course, she didn’t believe me. It was probably because she was a half vampire already from the bite on her neck. I kept hoping that this was all a dream, but most likely, it was not. This was the last straw. I had to kill this guy before I turn into a full vampire as well. I still had my gear with me, and Vlad was upstairs using the bathroom (doing whatever vampires do). I was now completely ready. I waited in front of the bathroom door. Vlad opened the door and BAM, I stabbed him right in the middle of his chest. I took off my necklace made of garlic and shoved it into his mouth. Afterward, I opened my bottle of holy water and splashed it onto him right before I scorched Vlad to smithereens with my very powerful
