the underworld: vampire valley
the merrells resident

"roni, stay still!" vanessa yelled at me as i was squirming around.

we were sitting on the floor of our dark house. vanessa was inserting this liquid medicine shot into me that helps vampires like us stop the urge of eating flesh of other humans. and i am absolutely terrified of needles.

"oh, well i'm sorry i'm freaking out while you have a big needle in your hand!" i yelled back, she sighed.

"the doctor told us to give ourselves this shot so we don't have the urge to suck anyone's blood." she said.

"why do we have to take it anyways?! it's not like humans are roaming around here all the time." i exclaimed.

"roni, it's not only humans that we eat. we can eat ghouls, mermaids, werewolves, any creature surrounding us." vanessa corrected.

"well.. i don't care. we can control our urge anyways can't we? we know not to eat them." i said.

"no roni, sometimes our urge gets too strong and we can't control it we just eat anything in our path." vanessa corrects again.

"ugh just... do it quick okay." i say hesitantly as i turned my head away and shut my eyes. vanessa pokes me as i winced, she inserts the liquid, then quickly put a cotton pad over it and then a band-aid.

"all done." she said as she gets up off the floor with all the things in her hands.

"done?" i asked lightly holding on to my shoulder as i opened one eye.

"yes, done." vanessa replied putting all the stuff in the closet.

i got up from the floor and sat on the couch and turned on the tv.

"wait, what about you? did you give yourself a shot?" i asked looking back at her.

"yeah i did it this morning." she exclaimed sitting on the couch as well next to me.

i grabbed chips from the coffee table and turned on the tv.

"attention all creatures. our yearly tornado is coming our way. please take shelter now in a safe location underground or somewhere with no windows. please please please stay safe."

then the tv went static and turned off.

"dude turn the tv back on!" i turned and yelled to ethan from the other room.

"i didn't turn it off?!" he replied back, popping out of the hallway.

i look out the window as i saw the tornado coming our way. i ran and gathered all the items that we need when the tornado strikes until the lights flickered off.

"ethan?!" i called.

"right here." ethan replied touching my shoulder from behind me.

"this way come on!" he exclaimed pulling me out the door.

"over here!" he exclaimed as he led us to our cellar, he opened it and crawled down to the stairs.

as we were going down the stairs the whole stairs shook violently making it hard for us to go down.

we paused at the bottom of the stairs scanning the room on where to go.

"over there!" i pointed to one of the corners. we struggled to walk over there while dirt from the ceiling was dropping down.

i ran to the corner and sat next to the couch with my knees to chest.

"ethan, come on!" i exclaimed.

"roni, come on!" i exclaimed grabbing her arm, pulling her to our cellar outside.

"ah no it's blocked!" i yelled staring at the x out blocked cellar.

"we have to go find a cellar!" veronica exclaimed grabbing me and running towards another city as we quickly swipe our hoodies on as we turn into bats and flew to the the nearest town.

"we have to find a cellar we can go into, there's a bunch in the underworld." veronica said.

"oh over there!" i said as i flew to it, roni following me.

we mutated back to our human form as we ran to the nearest cellar.

"are you sure you wanna go in here?" veronica asked as she looked back at me about to open the cellar.

"yes i'm sure!" i replied as i was digging in my bag finding flashlight.

veronica opened the cellar.

"got it!" i blurted pulling out the flashlight.

"shhh!" veronica exclaimed putting her finger to her mouth. it was dark, pitch black. i'm glad i brought my flashlight along.

"sorry." i whispered softly. we slowly walked down to the cellar. i turned on the flashlight and shined it at the corner as we saw two guys hiding.

"ahhh!!!" roni and i screamed in unison as we saw two other people.

"ahhh!!!" they also screamed.

"who are you guys?! don't move or i'll attack!" roni yelled. i heard her fangs come out while she walked down the stairs, i followed close behind her.

"we're just here for safety!" one of the guys hesitantly said.

"okay.." she replied as her fangs retreat back in and i shined the flashlight at them.

"well..." roni says.

"you guys don't mind us staying here with you guys would you?" she asks.

"n-no i guess not." one of the guys answered.

"i'm veronica. this is my twin sister vanessa." she pointed as i waved.

"ethan. and this is my twin brother grayson." he waved.

roni walked over and sat fairly close to them as i followed and sat next to her. we sat in silence for a while until grayson started speaking.

"so.. when do you think this tornado will pass?" he asks. i looked at him and felt some type of way. i don't know why but something about him just makes me have... butterflies.

"i don't know. hopefully soon though." i answered as i brought my knees up to my chest.

veronica

"so.." i said to break the short silence.

"so.." ethan said.

"how long have you had this cellar?" i asked.

"a couple years." grayson replied.

"oh, that's cool." vanessa exclaimed. it went quiet again.

"do you guys ever wonder what the time is like in the human world?" nessa blurted.

"oh all the time." grayson replies.

"no pun intended." grayson laughed as we all laugh with him.

"i wonder what everything is like in the human world. how they dress, how they eat, if they eat each other." ethan goes on.

"i don't think they eat each other." i replied giggling.

"you never know!" he exclaimed laughing.

"it sounds like the tornado stopped." grayson said.

then all of a sudden we hear a loud boom. all of our heads turn as we all looked around the cellar.

"what was that?" nessa asks.

"i don't know." ethan replied.

"you should go look gray." ethan continued.

"huh?! fuck no." grayson replied.

"i'm not going out there." he went on.

"well i'm not going either." ethan exclaimed. their heads turn to nessa and i.

"don't look at us." i blurted.

"fine, i'll go with you gray." ethan suggested.

"i'm still not going." grayson said.

"you're going." ethan demanded as he pushed him towards the stairs with him. they slowly went up the stairs and eventually faded from our sight as the door that led to the cellar closed. we sat and waited for them for what felt like years.

"should we check on them?" nessa asks.

"no i think they'll be back." i reassured.

"are you sure?" she asks again.

"yes nessa." i implied.

"if you want to check on them so bad go check for yourself." i continued. she went silent for a moment.

"fine, i'm going." nessa exclaimed.

"don't take too long." i cross my arms. she walked up to the stairs and started going up. she stopped at the top to look back.

"you sure you don't want to come?" she asks again.

"i'm sure nessa." i replied. she turned back forward as she put her hood on and opened the cellar door. the light slowly faded until it was dark again and the door shut.

i sit there; alone in a dark cellar of who knows who these guys are. it's starting to take way too long for all of them to be back. so i go out myself.

"nessa?!" i shouted. i heard her scream.

"NESSA?!" i shouted again as i ran towards the screams that i heard. it felt like forever until i found her standing near a shoe. one of the guys' shoe.

"roni did they die?" she asks me.

"i-i hope not." i stutter. the ground started to slowly shake.

"nessa, what's happening?!" i asked. the ground shook vigorously as a black hole starts to form in the ground fairly near us as it sucked up the shoe.

"um.. roni.." nessa said getting closer to me interlocking her arms with mine as she pointed at the black hole. it was getting bigger.

"nessa.. we have to go." i exclaimed as we bolted the opposite way where the black hole was, it was catching up to us, we morphed into bats and flew our way to escape but it was no use. the hole was too strong and fast. it sucked us right up as we screamed to the top of our lungs.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

i woke up on the ground in some forest. i didn't see vanessa anywhere.

"NESSA!!" i yelled as i tried to get up.

"ow." i exclaimed. my hood was down and the sun was beaming into my skin. i pull my hood up and i tried to get up from the ground but my shoulder hurt too much. i held on to my injured shoulder.

"NESSA?! WHERE ARE YOU!?" i yelled as i stumbled.

"NESS-." i stopped in my tracks. it was a werewolf. i hid behind a tree so that it couldn't see me.

"GRAY?!" the wolf yelled.

"gray? oh my gosh. no, it can't be." i whispered to myself.

"ethan?" i said slowly walking out from the tree.

"roni?" he questioned. why did he call me roni? only people i've known for years call me roni.

"have you seen gray?" he asked running up to me. i backed away a bit.

"uhh no.. have you seen nessa?" i asked.

"no." he replied.

"well.. i have to go look for her... i'm gonna go." i exclaimed.

"wait!" he grabbed my arm with his big, hairy, werewolf hand.

"we can look for them together?" he suggests.

"i'm okay." i replied as i tried to walk away.

"wait!" he said again, squeezing my arm.

"get your dirty werewolf hand.." i whispered.

"AWAY!" i yell turning around with my fangs protruding out. ethan's eyes widen as he gasped and whipped his hand away. i turn away as i realized what just happened.

"you're a..." ethan stuttered.

"vampire." i say as i shut my eyes. wishing this didn't just happen.
