Kiss me goodbye

“Wake up! Wake up!” I groaned and just rolled over ignoring my best friend Ella - Ell for short - who was trying to wake me up.  “Ugh...fine. Just so you know. You're making me do this.” One second, I was falling back to sleep and the next cold water was splashed all over me. “What the hell?!” I whispered since I couldn't scream because I don't want to wake up anyone. “You wouldn't wake up.” She carried the glass back in my bathroom that was attached to my room which I share with my brother. When she came back in my room, I could finally see she was dressed in black leggings and black hoodie. She stopped at my bed looking at me like I should know why she woke me up. I mean…hello...how can I know. It's not like I can read her mind. I looked at her with boredom and sleepless. “Don't tell me you forgot!” Oh crap. I did forget. There's a reason she wanted to sleepover at my place. I just can't remember. “Yeah well. If I wouldn't be so tired my brain could properly work and I would remember. So please remind me why you're so dressed up.” “Remember what my abuela just to tell us when we were kids?” Yeah, I remember. It was some silly stories about creatures that only existed in books and movies. And this...this is not a book. Or a movie. This is real life. I mean werewolves?! Vampires?! Witches?! What's going to be next? Zombies? “You mean like when she would tell us about creatures of the night? The beast that will drink your blood to survive? Or the man that would turn in to a wolf at the full moon? Or a witch? The one that people thought they killed back in the days but because they were witches, they got away with it and survived? Come on Ell this are just stories your abuela told us to scare us so we would behave and not cause trouble.” “Yes. That was the reason she told us that. But you know I always believed her. So today is the so called 'blood moon' which means that if abuela was telling the truth we could be able to meet with one tonight. Soo...get your ass up and let's go. Come on.” “Fine. I'll get ready. Just give me a minute. And if it turns out I'm right and you're wrong you owe be. Big time.” “For what?” “Waking me up at” looking at the clock I saw it was “2 in the morning.” I throw a pillow at her and she caught it and waited patiently for me to get ready.   When I got ready - that means got dressed in all black - I stepped, out from my bathroom seeing Ella looking through the window in the forest that was behind my house. “Okay. I'm ready. FYI my parents will literally kill me if they find out about this. And I'm blaming it on you.”  “I'll say something nice at the funeral for you.”  “You better.” I prayed to every God and everything that my parents don't find out. Cause if they do...I'm dead. Climbing out of the window as quiet as possible is harder than I first thought. Especially because my room is on the second floor and I have to jump on a tree and then climb down.   Once on the ground I took the flashlight from the hiding place. (This isn’t the first time that I’m sneaking out so I keep a flashlight or two in the hiding pace under the tree in a hole that is covered by a big rock). “Ready?” Ella asked. And just because I sneak out every once in a while, (it happens really rare) I’m still freaked that I will be caught. “Yeah. You?” Ella just grinned at me “Always.” We started walking in silence in the direction of the woods. Ella’s abuela would tell us how they (creatures from books) like the forest because it’s easy to hide in it. Looking up I saw the moon. And yes, if you looked closely you could see it was red. We’ve been walking quiet for a solid 15 minutes Remembering the stories, I remembered the effect the blood moon has. And no it is not pretty. Their blood lust is really high and they are on a killing spree. Not something you want to be present for. “Ell? In case you’re right and I’m wrong. Do you remember how abuela would tell us about the blood moon effect?” after that I collided with a wall a.k.a. Ella. I could see that she froze out of fear which told me that she forgot about that part. “Ell. Maybe we should go. We can come back some other time. Like when it’ll be an ordinary full moon. It’s safer to go back. Come on.” Ella slowly turned around and then she froze again and became paler than a wall. “Ella? Ell? What do you see?” Slowly turning around, I saw what made her freeze. The was a pair of glowing red eyes staring at us. “Ella. On the count of three…RUN!” we started running (we always joked that if we would have to run from somebody or something, we would say on the count to three and pretend that we will start counting but instead we would just start running). Never in my entire life did I run so fast. But no matter how fast we ran the beast jumped and landed in front of us. Now I could finally see what it is. It a wolf. A giant wolf. At least it looked like a wolf. A giant wolf with red glowing eyes. It made a step toward us when I heard another growl. This one from behind me. Well, I guess this is it. I’m going to die. Because of two giant wolf things. I’m not even going to celebrate my 18th birthday. I’m sorry to my dear brother Matthew who is the only person that I love beside my two best friends (that would be Ella and her boyfriend Sam). God I’m gonna miss them. I hope they move on fast (I’m sure mom and dad will since all they really care is their job and money but I hope my death will change them). One second, I was imagining my funeral and the next the second wolf thing jumped above us and attacked the one in front of us. I grabbed Ella and we started running. I’m not sure what is going on right now but I don’t care as long as we both live. Seeing my house, I started running a little bit faster and quickly climbed with Ella back in my room and closed and locked my window and locked my door. I know that locked window and door won’t stop them if they decide to come after us. But it made me feel safe for a moment. Looking at Ella I saw that she was on the floor holding on her side her face full of pain. Kneeling down at her side I saw blood running out of her wound. “Ella how did you get it?” “The wolf scratched me when he was running after us.” I grabbed her and led her to my bathroom where I took first aid kit and cleaned her wound and put on it some bandage so it won’t get infected. After hat I helped her to my bed where I laid her down. “I’m going to clean the bathroom okay? You get some sleep and tomorrow after school we’re going to visit your abuela. Go to sleep. It’s over now.” I went to the bathroom to clean it. While cleaning I was surprised that mom and dad didn’t wake up considering that we weren’t really quiet when we came back. After I finished cleaning, I changed my clothes and went to sleep.
