“Mommy, mommy, help me!!!” Little Tori cried for help as she got lost in the woods.
It is getting darker now as time goes by. Little Tori is scared. She doesn’t know how she got into this part of the woods.
She sat down and cried as she remembered the scary stories that her friends told her about the big house in the woods.
In the secluded part of the woods stood a huge mansion. It was said that a vampire lives there. Rumour has it that when you get lost in that part of the woods, you cannot return anymore. The vampire will use and kill you.
No one is brave enough to get closer to the woods. They said that the vampire will hypnotize you to do his bidding when you get close. You will follow his command, be his slave, and eventually suck your blood and kill you.
Little Tori cried her heart out. She thought that this would be the end of her.
After some time, she lost all hope. No one would come to save her. She is just seven years old, but Tori is a brave girl.
After saying a prayer, she stood up. She believes in the power of prayer.
She got a long stick and started to walk. She also held onto the rosary bracelet and cross necklace her grandmother gave her.
Vampires are scared of the cross. They also said that for the vampire to hypnotize you, you must look directly in his eyes and hear his voice. At least that’s what her playmates told her.
If she passes a suspicious person, she will just sing, be noisy and close her eyes. Her cross will protect her.
She walked and walked, but she was getting nowhere. She won’t give up. She’ll make it out of these woods.
As she grew tired from walking, she saw a huge, weird-looking tree. She decided to take a break and sit under the tree. She needs her energy just in case she comes across the vampire’s mansion or the vampire himself.
Because she had been walking for hours, Little Tori did not notice how tired she was. She fell asleep while taking a break under the weird tree.
After what seemed like an eternity, Little Tori woke up. She sat down, eyes still half-closed. She felt something move beside her.
She stayed still and forced herself not to look at the light movement.
She caught a glimpse of tiny feet and noticed that she was covered with a blanket.
She suddenly remembered the vampire. Little Tori suddenly sang in high notes, covered her ears, and closed her eyes. She held onto her rosary bracelet tightly and faced the side where the movement was coming from so the vampire could see her cross necklace.
After a while, nothing happened. There was no movement either. She lowered her voice to hear if the vampire was talking. Nothing.
Then she heard a burst of laughter. A little boy’s laughter.
Little Tori slowly opened one eye. She was surprised to see a little boy laughing at her.
Sure this was not a vampire. If anything, the boy looked like an angel. He is wearing all white. Is this her angel? Is she already dead?
Tori, the brave girl she is, opened her eyes and looked at the boy. She looked at him but tried to avoid looking at his eyes directly, just in case.
“Are you my angel?” Little Tori asked the boy.
“Angel? Hmm…last time I checked, I’m no angel.” The boy laughed at her.
“Uh, then are you a vampire pretending to be a little boy?”
“Vampire?” The little boy laughed harder than before. “Yes, I am. I will suck your blood. Run, now!” He pretended to scare her.
Little Tori rolled her eyes at the boy and then walked away. She was irritated by his mocking.
The boy burst out laughing, and he followed her.
“Stop following me!” Little Tori shouted at the boy.
“Why are you angry? You are the one asking questions accusing me of being an angel and a vampire. Now you’re angry at me?”
“I have no time to play with you. I need to get out of these woods. Are you not scared of the vampire living here?”
“Vampire? I live in these woods. There was no vampire living here.”
“What if you’re really the vampire?”
“If I am the vampire, I would’ve eaten you by now.”
“If you are not a vampire, what’s your name, and where do you live?”
“I’m Moni.”
“Moni?”
“Yes, everyone calls me Moni. What’s your name?”
“I’m Tori. Where do you live?”
“I live near. Uh, It’s getting dark now. I have to go home. Do you want to come with me and ask for help from my mommy and daddy? Maybe they can bring you home.”
Tori looked at the boy suspiciously. Is he hypnotizing her to come home with him? If he’s not the vampire, maybe his parents are, and he is luring her to their home to kill her.
