The Hole Chapter One Parts One and Two


Lots of teenage girls dream about vampires, more than anything else in the world. Being a vampire, dating a vampire, being friends with a vampire, or even knowing a vampire for that matter are all things that appeal to them. Most of them spend their teenage years wanting to marry Edward Cullen.
I’m not exactly like most girls my age.
For example, most little girls grow up pretending to be a princess and claiming Justin Bieber as their “fiancĂ©”. I grew up pretending to be Hermione Granger, running around in as cape, wanting to turn Lord Voldemort good and be BFFs with Draco Malfoy.
Yes, Draco Malfoy.
When people think of the Twilight saga, they usually think of Bella and Edward and Jacob or even Renesmee (which, i will admit, is the stupidest name i’ve ever heard in my entire twelve years of existence. Call the kid Bella Jr. And get on with your lives!!!), but they never seem to remember the Volturi.
What most people DON’T know is that the Volturi is that they’re rulers of an alternate universe I like to call The Hole. The pros and cons about knowing about the aforementioned hole:
PRO: It’s a place i can escape to when there’s nothing else to do.
CON: there's only a few ways to get out of this hole, which include a rappel cord, a grappling hook, and vampire transformation.
PRO:when you're a vampire, it makes the hole secret totally less important.
CON: when you're almost thirteen and you could "potentially struggle" with keeping that secret, they try to interrogate you just to make sure that you can actually keep a secret.
PRO:Interrogation sessions can be cut short with the simple logic that if you tell the secrets, you'll be killed anyways.
CON: following that, they give you the "you're just a kid" lecture, which makes you all mad and you say stupid things like "i bet that i can win in a battle between your vampire army with a human army of my own, and if i do you leave me alone, and if i don't you may kill me or keep me as your slave", which puts your friends and family at risk when you realize that, yes, you are just a kid, and no one's gonna help you fight an army of evil vampires except for a few gullible three year olds.

And so you see my dilemma.
And guess what? It all happened because of a stupid squirrel.
 
It was a Sunday afternoon, and i was babysitting my eight year old brother Nathen. We were at the park, eating sandwiches, when Nathen noticed that his Nintendo ds game case was gone. We looked around frantically, and then there it was, in the mouth of a squirrel. "Go get it, Kieyra." Nathen said. "No way, i'm not chasing a squirrel!" I said. He laughed devilishly. "Fine then. I'll tell  mom that you weren't being a good babysitter, and she won't pay you." He smiled evilly. "Ugh, fine."
I chased the squirrel around the field twice, through the forest,and finally i stopped at a massive hole in the ground. I went to turn around to go back, but a big, black crow swooped down from a tree, knocking me off balance, making me fall head-first into the hole.

"Tegan, i need your help." I walked towards my best friend who was currently instant messaging her other friend at the library. "With what?" she asked, typing something that i didn't bother reading. "I need to find some books. I'm doing a report on-" i lowered my voice, "Vampires." She turned around and looked at me. "I'm not a librarian, Kieyra." she sighed. "But you know the library inside and out! And besides, you're my best friend. You're supposed to help me."

  1. This is really a good story Kira! I want to know more every time I read a new part! What does the gadget thingy look like? I am dying to know. You have me on the edge of my seat - uh, bed that is - wondering what is really going on. Why are they going to the park? Why do they need weapons? Write more please!
