It had always been a quiet and safe area to live
until that winter’s night the white van arrived
the house next door had been empty a decade
it was a mess untouched since the owner died
under odd circumstances an unsolved fatality
it was said of an exceptional brutality!
Very little was taken in observed with curiosity
but thought there was a coffin maybe more
not having night vision binoculars so not certain
decided maybe best to keep my distance
later a dark limousine glided onto the driveway
that early morning felt very cold was Sunday!
A year since the new neighbours came to stay
never met them just glimpses in the dark
that icy sensation has remained never warm
my dog has not stopped growling at the fence
always cats roaming in my garden now none
everybody in the area that house did shun!
Reluctantly living next door could not escape
never came out in those daylight hours
windows covered never any external painting
becoming a district everybody feared to live
even worse folk of all ages started to disappear
arising from when the neighbours came here!
Used to know many families living in the area
but the parents just vanished from view
more disturbing their children came next door
what was going on tried to speak to them
gave blank stares yet none acknowledged me
something was wrong then could not see!
It had been such a lovely area born and bred
in the same house but now the only one left
ringed with misery and death so oppressive
since the white van had brought the vampires
how my life had changed keeping a step ahead
not wanting to become another undead!
Had a enough with friends decided to fight back
who were interested and believed in the occult
while searching the internet for information
had found a site of a vampire slayer named Tia
from that initial contact the alliance was created
determined to stop the living being desecrated!
The confrontation would be long but we must not lose!
