The Other World

Chapter 1

Every sense I was little I've believed in mythical creatures like werewolves ,vampires, fairies, goblins, and mermaids. It all started when I was camping July long weekend at Moose Lake 11 years ago. I was throwing glow sticks in the air at night, I threw one to far so I went after it, and instead o finding the glow stick I found a body. For a 9 year old finding a body you would think I would be terrified, but I was satisfied, I was so curious on what happened, and how it got there. Ever sense that weekend I am obsessed with trying to figure out what happened to that body, my dad actually took away my computer privileges so I couldn't search up anything, but he forgot I had a phone. I found the news article about the body, and the article heading was "drained of blood" . Everyone says it was an animal attack, and thy say I'm crazy for believing other. I am now 20 years old and there has been multiple bodies found, and they all have one connection, all drained of blood. My name is Kennedy Parker, thank you for listening to my short story. My collage class applauded and I sat back in my seat. A few more people spoke and then the bell rang. I was walking to my car when Kevin came up to me.

"Hey Kennedy" he spoke.

"Hi Kevin what's up?" I replied politely.

"Uh I just wanted to say great story" Kevin stuttered.

"Oh thanks, you're story is great too about dirt biking" I said sarcastically.

"Haha yeah, but is you're story real? Did you actually find a body?"

"Yes it's real you can even search up the article"

"So you believe in mythical creatures?" Kevin said in a judging tone.

"Well.. Yes, it's just what happened in my past that makes it believable for me" I explained.

"Your psycho then" Kevin said and walked away. I quickly ran up to him.

"That's what everyone says until you're the one on the ground dead that's drained of blood" I whispered in his ear. He pushed me away.

"Get the hell away from me" Kevin gave me a scared look and walked away. I turned around and got in my car and drove to my dads house for Friday night dinner. As I was driving there was a lot of traffic, I could see the flashing cop car lights. I got the burst of energy and got out of my car to see what was going on, in my head I kept saying "Drained of blood" repetitively. I saw sheriff Jen standing there, she was at the crime sene when I found a body so we are good friends.

"Jen hey" I mumbled quiet enough for her to hear.

"Ugh hey Kennedy" she sighed.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Body found in the woods, or so what's left of it" she explained.

"Left of it? What do you mean by left of it"

"The body is torn into shreds, it's hard to even tell the gender of the body"

"Ohh that's strange I am surprised it wasn't drained of blood, so maybe this time it actually was an animal attack" Jen nodded her head and turned back at the other cops. I walked back to my car and immediately pulled out my note pad from my purse and started to write down "torn to pieces". I have a note pad and I write everything weird that has happened in our small town. The traffic had started to move and I got to my dads safely. I pulled up in the drive way and I already could smell dinner. "Hey dad" I yelled as I entered the house and took my boots off.

"Pulled pork you're smelling sweety!" He replied.

"Smells good"

"Why are you late" he spoke as he pored barbecue sauce on the meet"

"Ah lots of traffic and there was an accident in the woods so there was a lot of cops, sheriff Jen was there" I explained.

"Oh no did u talk to Jen?" He asked.

"Yes, it was an animal attack"

"But you don't believe that,do you?" He chuckled mocking me about my obsession.

"This time the body was torn to pieces dad" I spoke I rolled my eyes.

"Ahh" he said as he plated our dinner on the dining room table. After dinner I drove home, I was exhausted I didn't even do my homework. I just fell asleep.
