The Case of the First Vampire / Jaylin Johnson

The Case of the First Vampire

by Jaylin Johnson, age 12

Once upon a time, I was heading to the woods and I encountered this very pale lady.

Lady: “Hello! Excuse me!”

I turned around and saw her following and trying to make conversation. So I slowed down.

Me: “Yes?”

Lady: “Can you show me to the nearest town?”

I pointed to the right and continued walking. I turned around to see if she still followed, and there she was, still following, so I increased my pace, and she did the same. So I started running, and she disappeared. Then all I felt was something heavy land on me, and it all went black.

Police: “Is that right?”

Me: “Yes, sir, but it continues. So . . . ”

I woke up inside a room with nothing in it. I ran to the door, and it was locked. I checked my pants for my phone, and it was there, so I called, and now I’m here.
