"Hmm....what a strange girl" I mumbled. Turning to leave, I noticed a slight movement as her eyes fluttered open and sparkled in a second before becoming normal
"Oh my God, she is awake" I gasp
"Hey...Hi...what's your name" I asked, but she didn't blink at all, not to talk of giving me a reply
"O..kkkay..i believe you can't talk right..huhn..Cat got your tongue" I snapped but she didn't move an inch
"Hmmm..weird...anyway.. I'm jenny dimwit, and you know what, I don't like you, get well soon and fuck the hell outta here" I yelled and turned to leave.
But I felt a grip on my wrist; it was cold as ice and hot at the same time. In panic, I turned swiftly to face her.
She looks different this time, not the little innocent girl our lorry driver hit, but a freaky white, paled skin, sharp fangs, blaze eyes looking beast. Her hair was scattered and a stream of blood gush down her mouth, with sharp claws piercing into my skinny skin.
A heavy ice berg rolled down my spine at the sight of this hideous beast, I remembered the movie I watched some time ago. She looks just like them....Vampires!!!
"Harrghhh" screamed out my lungs, trying to free my hand of her grip
"Haahaaaa" She laughs
"You wanna know my name...its Mohini"
"Haarrgggg...help!!! Granny..mum!!!"
.
Wake up!! Wake up" Jeremy yelled and spanks my butt
"What sort of nightmare were you having, you wanna bring this building down with your scream?" He yelled
"Shut up idiot...she is evil..evil" I yelled, as mum ran into the room
"Baby, what's wrong, you screamed" she said, hugs me and patted my hair
"No no..it's the strange girl, she is evil mum, she,,,she tried to kill me" I cried out
"Hmmm, come here dear, she is not okay...It's just a dream, don't panic. Anyway she is awake now; you can go and see her. She is just your age, such a sweet girl, she is not evil okay" Mum smiled
"Huuhnn...awake??" I asked, still recollecting the dream, panicking
"Yea she is, and she has a strange name. Her name is Mohini" Jeremy smiled, as my heart skip a beat
"Oh no no..this is not happening...
**********************
*Dinner Time*
Rice and meat balls were served for dinner as the whole family gather to eat at the dining table.
The strange girl was not exempted; she was served her own dish as she hungrily devour it, not giving it a breathing space. She ate keenly not minding the different glares she was receiving
"Erm...eat gently dear, the food isn't running away" Granny muttered patting her hair, as Pa chuckled. Jenny kept giving her hard glares as she picks on her food. The scary dream kept replying in her mind. She can't believe she is eating with the devil that almost killed her in her dream.
"Gosh" she scoffs
"What is wrong Jenny, you have been picking on your food, ain't you gonna eat, or don't you like the food" Mum grouse
"It's not the food..well I lost my appetite" she yelled, glaring at the strange girl., this caught her mum's attention
"Come on baby, I thought we were over this, why the attitude" she grimace
"What's wrong sweetie" Pa muttered
"I will tell you Pa, jenny doesn't like Mohini. She told me that she is a vampire" Jeremy said, as the fork fell off Mohini's hand, shocked with eyes popped out. Why the hell will she call me such, she thought
"Jeez, that's harsh. Why will you call her that, she is barely a day here with us" Granny resorted. They heard a silent sobs, tears were streaming down Mohini's eyes
"Please don't send me away; I'm not a bad person. I'm just a little girl who is trying to escape the wrath of her step mother.
My parents are both dead, living me to live with my scary stepmother who derives joy in seeing me suffer. She punish me for the slightest thing" She wiped her tears and continued her story, everyone's attention was on her as they listen with open ears, every word that comes out of her mouth.
"She vowed to kill me and use my flesh for dinner on Christmas day, and trust my step mother, she always keeps to her words. I don't wish to die now, so I ran away from home...and ermmm, I found myself here" she whispered the last part
"Hmmm, you were knocked down by our lorry, sorry about that" Mum said
"Don't worry dear; you are free to stay here for now until you recover. We will sort out how to speak to your step mother later okay" granny stated, while she nodded pouting
"She is lying,,,,don't believe her" Jenny subconscious stated, while she shrug it off
"Pa...how was today's work, couldn't ask when you arrive earlier" their mum asked, changing the topic
"Oh work was fine, lots of chicken and turkeys were delivered from the Feeds warehouse" Pa replied as Mohini's eyes glinted. She seems interested in knowing more about the poultry.
"Hmmm, he might be there..i must check out that poultry farm myself" She thought, smiling. Her eyes caught up abruptly with that of Jenny, she grinned and gave her a warning glare
"Bitch" jenny muttered under her breathe
"She pretends to be nice but she is a witch" she whispered to Jeremy, whose seat is closer to hers, he shrug
"Hmm..she doesn't look like a witch to me, but you look more of a witch jenny" Jeremy chuckled. She almost spanks him but doesn't want to create a scenario. The adult were so engross n their talk, oblivious of what the children were doing.
"Poor Jenny, I wonder why she hates me so much, well she won't be an obstacle" Mohini muttered, as she glance at the siblings, whispering to each other
"It's time for you to strike Mohini, he is close by" said an unknown voice to her.
*************
*AT MID NIGHT*
It was horrid outside the cottage. A great pile of snow filled the ground creating a chilly atmosphere. Everyone was stuck inside their rooms, only the crackling of the fire in the fire place, could be heard and the whistling sound made by the wind.
Jeremy's door cracked open as a chilly wind blew across his face making him to shiver. The wind blew hard, making the door bang severally before giving it access into the room, changing its atmosphere; from warm and cozy to cold and chilly.
"Huahhh" He yawned drowsily as he stirred on his bed, trying to cover himself with the blanket. The bang of the door made him to jerk up, realizing the state of his room.
"Oh no!! Who opened the door" he yawned, getting down from the bed
"Mum??? Jenny?? Who the hell is there? But I locked the door before sleeping,,,hmm, strange" he mumbled, going to close it. Holding the knob, he peeped outside and caught a glimpse of someone, standing close to the garden
"Wait a minute, is that Jenny, what will she be doing outside at this time of ,,,oh no, that cants be Jenny" he said
"Jenny is scared of the dark, gosh it's the strange girl" he gaps, stepping out of the room, and striding into the compound, in order to have a better view of what she's up to
"Mohimi,,,,,what,,,,are,,,Jesus!!!!" He screamed sighting her bloody hands. She turned swiftly at him, with eyes beaming out in the dark. He tried taking on his heels but was too late; she got a hold of his leg making him stumble on the snow.
"No No, leave me alone, Mum!!!" He yelled
"Shhh, Jeremy, Hey ,Shhhhhh,,,I mean no harm. Look at me" Mohini pleaded
"No,,,,,don't touch me freak,,,you are a fucking vampire just like Jenny predicted....don't bite me, haarrgghh" He screamed
