CHAPTER ONE
Janet ran through the park as fast as she could. Being out in Central Park
was not what she would call "fun." She was coming back from a friend's
house. She was not actually supposed to have gone. Now she was running
through one of the scariest places in New York. There was a cracking sound
behind her. She stopped. "Who's there?" She asked. Nothing. She turned
to go and heard a thud behind her. She turned around and saw a man standing
there.
"It's okay, little girl, I won't hurt you." He started towards her. She
screamed. He smiled. "Don't worry, your mother is probably wanting you
home." He grinned. He pulled a sharp wooden stake from his bag. She
screamed and put her arms over her head. There was a blinding flash of
green light. She looked around to see where the man was. He was gone.
"Ow!" She said all of a sudden. She looked at her finger. It was smoking
slightly. She turned and ran. Behind her a beetle scurried away. Cursing
to him self. Wait, beetles don't know how to curse and say bad words, do
they?
"Man, I'm hungry!!" Said Nick angrily. "I haven't eaten anything all day!"
"Hey Frack, Itıs only 10:30 a.m.!" remarked Brian. He was sitting on the
couch in their changing room reading some book.
"So?" Replied Nick. "We've been practicing for the show tonight all day.
I've only had water to drink!! I'm gonna die, man if I don't get
something soon!" Brian rolled his eyes.
"Fine by me, but can you die in A.J and Howieıs room? I donıt want you to
stink up the place with your rotting body."
"Oh shut up!" Nick snarled. He went to the window and looked out side at
the passing cars. "Hey, Bri! I see a Mickey D's!! Come on!! Let's go get
something, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?" Brian looked at Nick in a negative
way.
"Why should we," he said, "I'm not hungry."
"You suck." Said Nick pouting. "I'm gonna go see if any of the guys are
hungry." Just as Nick was about to open the door, A.J sprang in.
"Hey!!! Any of Y'all hungry? Cuz Iım gonna dash to Mick D's. He patted
his stomach. "My belly is empty."
"Perfect!!" said Nick happily. He grabbed his wallet. "Hey, Frick?"
"Yeah?" grunted Brian, not looking up from his book.
"Tell the others that Bone and I went to Mick D's, we'll be back soon."
"Yeah, yeah whatever, see ya." Nick rolled his eyes and went out to the
parking lot to meet A.J. Nick jumped in to the front seat.
"Go, go, go!!" Nick said. "I'm STARVING"
"Okay, okay! I'm going as fast as I can, now where did I put those keys?"
He started to lift things up very slowly and looked under them.
"A.J, GET YOUR BUTT MOVING!" yelled Nick impatiently.
"Well, what do ya know," said A.J in amazement, "Their already in the
ignition!"
"A.J!!!!!!!!" Nick squealed.
"Geez, what a spoiled sport." A.J started the car and they sped out of the
lot. About five minutes later, they arrived at the one and only Mick Dıs.
They got out and put on glasses and hats. They entered the place to be
relived in seeing that there were no screaming fans. They quickly went up
to counter to see a girl reading a book.
"Ummm, excuse me?" Nick asked. The girl looked up from her book. Nick
nearly jumped in to A.J's arms. The girl's eyes were red!! A deep blood
red. Nick blinked and looked at the girl's eyes again. They were brown.
"Sorry." Said the girl. "how may I help you?"
Nick was speechless. He
couldn't believe what he just saw. He blinked again. Her eyes were brown.
"Ummmm, how may I help you?" A.J groaned at Nick, so he ordered first.
"Hi uh," He looked at her nametag. "Janet, I'd like a double quarter
pounder with cheese value meal, large coke, large fries and an ice tea but,"
He spun around and pointed both of his fingers at the girl. "No lemon."
The girl looked shocked and looked at him in a weird way.
"Okay," she said slowly. "Could you repeat that?"
A.J grinned as he repeated his order.
"Thank you, umm sir what would you like?"
Nick looked at her. He made an effort to
smile.
"I'll have the same." When they got their food, they got into the car and
drove back over to the arena. They ate in silence, until A.J broke it by
asking Nick a question.
"Nick, why were you looking at that girl all weird?" There was no answer.
"Nick?" "Oh Niiiiiiiiick?" A.J stopped at a stoplight and looked over at
him. Nick was staring out the window. "NICKOLAS!!!"
Nick nearly jumped
through the roof. "Gosh, what do you want?!? To scare me half to death?"
'If I did try you probably couldnıt hear me.' A.J thought. Slowly he
rephrased his question. "Why...were...you....star.."
"You can talk faster, I'm not deaf you know."
"Are you sure about that?" said A.J looking very doubtful.
"Yes, yes, yes I'm sure." Nick looked very annoyed.
"Okay, Why were you looking at that girl all weird?"
"What girl?" said Nick looking confused.
"THE GOD DAMN MCDONALDS GIRL!!!!" A.J was really ticked off now.
"Oh, that girl." Said Nick.
'Well what do ya know, he isnıt deaf.' A.J thought.
"A.J!"
"What!?" He snapped.
"The light is green, GO!" Behind the boys were fifteen angry cars honking
and beeping their horns.
"Oops! My bad."
As they went along a black Porsche passed them in the next lane. The guy
driving looked angrily at A.J and held up his right hand.
"I donıt believe it," A.J said dumfounded. "That guy gave me the finger!!
The bastard!"
"I wonder why." Said Nick pretending to be confused.
"Oh shut up." The rest of the ride was silent. A.J forgot about the girl
because he was still in shock about the finger guy. When they finally got
back in to the parking lot at the arena. A.J parked his car, got out, and
ran in to tell his story to the guys. Nick slowly got out. He sighed and
went to go inside. All of a sudden he heard a crack. Nick spun around
wildly and looked around. "Who's there?" He said shakily. There was no
answer. He turned around slowly and went inside.
On the roof Janet leaned
up against the chimney and took a deep breath.
"I need Nick Carter's blood."
