It was a misty night when all Jackson and his family's previous ideas about reality were shattered because he ordered pizza. It started out normal, his family excited about a football game and pizza. Jackson Platell, a short boy with curly blond hair and blue eyes, was the one to open the door for the pizza man, or at least that's what the family thought he was.

The tall and pale man asked "May we come in?" "Of course!" said Mrs. Platell, not bothering to fix his supposed grammer mistake. Sally, Jackson's sister eagerly awaited for the box to open. If she knew what was in the box, she would be a lot less excited, and also probably tremble in fear.

The "pizza man" took action faster than the Platells could react. He slammed the door shut, opened the pizza box which contained a large, midnight black, bat. The bat dashed behind the Platells, and when Jackson looked back, all he could see was something clearly inhuman. A 7 foot tall figure who was paler than humanly possible with his mouth hanging open, showing his fangs.

"Come quietly and no one has to get hurt," he said in a calm and deep voice that made the platells shake. Some primal part of Jackson, Sally, and Mrs. Platell took over and they ran while Mr. Platell simply shook, frozen with fear as he was reminded of the home invasion he witnessed when he was a child.

The pizza man bit Mr. Platell in the neck which snapped him back to reality but he couldn't escape the jaws of the hungry bloodsucker. While Mr. Platell was beggining to faint, the tall man chuckled, turned into a bat, and darted after the three others.

Jackson felt he had never ran as fast as he was in that moment, but the tall man caught up. he sucked blood from Mrs. Platells neck until she fainted and carelessely tossed her to the pizza man. Sally sobbed and tried to run towards her mother, but Jackson held her tight as he sped towards his room. When Sally was born, their parents made Jackson promise to look after her if anything happened to them, and Jackson had no intent of breaking that promise.

Jackson's mind spun as he and Sally ducked under the bed."Vampires are real? Are werewolves real? It was so easy for the vampires to attack, will we ever be able to feel safe again," were all thoughts he had. "Pull yourself together," he thought "worry about survaival now and ramifications later,"

Soon, the soft steps of the tall man echoed throughout the room. "Where are you hiding you little vermin," he said in a threatening voice. At that moment, Jackson felt more fear than he had ever felt in his life. This was more than some scary movie, this was real, and it was going to do something horrid to them.

The tall man began to check small spaces around the dresser and nightsand. Jackson's heart sped up. The tall man ripped the closet doors off its hinges to check the closet. Jackson could hardly breath. The floor creaked as the tall man lifted the bed with ease. It felt as though Jackson's heart had stopped.

The pizza man and bit Sally as the tall man began to suck Jackson's blood. The only thing his mind could hold on to during his descent into unconsciousness, was pure, unmmatched, terror
