Bats Abound

Chapter 1

All seven of them stumbled down the loose gravel of the mountain, and into the midst of forest trees. Only moments ago, they escaped the Queen’s castle which was full of hostile vampires. The forest wasn’t much better: bats were everywhere, and every single one of them had been bit.

"Aaaagghhh!!" screamed young Becky. "Get it off me!"

Hold on, I got it, said the oldest of their group, Danny.

Gently, he untangled the bat’s little hands from her hair. Then he sped up to Misaki, who was leading the way and asked, Do you know where we’re going?

No, just doing what Starr said to. We’re going straight through the forest until we get to the road, and then we’ll go left.

Aaaaaghh!!! screamed Mot.

What is it, now? asked Misaki.

Something, in that bush, is watching us! I see its little evil eyes!

Ignoring him, Misaki pushed on bravely. The others followed as quietly as they could, hoping not to attract any attention, like animals or other living dead creatures.

The only sounds were of whooshing air as creatures flew by over their heads and through the trees. Their feet made soft patting noises each time they stepped down on the soft, moist and rocky ground. It was almost pitch black in the forest, with barely a twinkling of moonlight making it through the thick pine needled tree branches.

After a time, Lucas asked in a low voice, Is it true that rabies shots are done in your gut?

I think so, Mot answered.

Wow, I can’t wait for that.

The night was extremely cool, and they constantly shivered. Becky, Kay and Misty clung to each other for warmth. Misaki shivered under Danny’s arm while Lucas and Mot kept their hands planted under their sockets.

A while later they found the road Starr spoke of and went left. Thick fog weighed down on their heads and shoulders, soaking their clothes and settling on their skin, making it impossible to see too far ahead. Then, almost as if by magic, a sidewalk appeared, on which they stepped.

At this point, they’d entered a town as thick with fog as was the road. Orange light barely emanated from the street lamps along the sidewalk.

To their left, in the middle of a road was an old well. Fog smothered over its stone rim.

Any idea of what our next action should be? asked Kay. I mean, we’re in a town, now. Maybe we should wait, here, until morning, and then go to the police?

No, I don’t think they can do anything. We should find the U.S. Embassy and try to get home, Danny replied.

No, we can’t, said Mot. They wouldn’t send me home, but rather back to Denmark. Remember, I’d only just applied for my visa before those rabid vampires took over the city.

Same here, said Misaki. I can’t go to any embassy.

How do we get home, then? asked Becky.

I can’t believe that I’m hearing this, cried Misty. Am I the only one not thinking of herself? We have to help Starr and the others.

Misty, you’re crazy, said Lucas. "There’s nothing a bunch of kids, like us, can do. They’d squash us like bugs and they know it. That’s why they left us
