He remembered the first time he encountered them. They had come through his window one night, when the moon was at its highest.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkO04V17nj

The twelve year old lowered his blanket. Two girls and a boy stared at him. The dark-haired girl grinned at him, her brown hair in a messy knot. There was blood along her cheeks and on her neck, the flesh cut open.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe66qJxGuPM

But Charlie wasn't scared. He had seen enough horror movies to know that monsters didn't exist. “Hello,” he replied softly. “How did you know my name?”479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSATDR8qMIE

The other girl smiled, her blonde hair glistening in the moonlight. Her smile was so big that Charlie could see her teeth. No – her fangs. She crouched down and examined a toy truck on his floor.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmohqsh76iH

“We know a lot about you,” the boy said, coming forward. His shaggy hair fell into his strange, yellow eyes. “We've picked you, Charlie. You're special. We've been watching you. You're smart, resourceful.” The boy grinned, his teeth normal. “I'm Liam, and this is Olivia and Carly.” He indicated the blonde, then the dark-haired girl. He peered at Charlie. “You're not afraid of us.”479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDogpCej3wr

It wasn't a question.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ8sGK82EO

“No,” Charlie answered bravely. “You're not real.”479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fOeUZIL1t

“Are you sure?” Carly wondered. She tried to wipe the blood from her face. “It itches,” she told him. Sitting on the edge of his mattress, she looked around. “You have a nice room.”479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYJFemFexT

Charlie didn't answer. He was too busy looking at her neck. At the wound that now seemed too real. And she smelled, he noticed. She smelled so bad that he needed to cover his nose and mouth. She was putrid, rotten.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGsBmXzTmH

She reeked of death.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcWHSsKSqW

Olivia smiled again, her sharp teeth startling.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuY2FwjaVH

Charlie had always been fascinated with vampires – and now there was one in his room. He couldn't wait to tell his friends.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoosWP4T9kO

“I wouldn't do that if I were you,” Liam said. “They'll just think you were playing a prank. Remember, vampires, werewolves and dead girls don't exist.”479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bpPCXBVax

Charlie took a deep breath, and reached out to touch Carly's hand. It was cold. So cold that he pulled away. When he spoke, his voice was trembling and full of fear.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFxCOFwI7i

That was when Charlie screamed. 479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDt3ESh3aX
