The wooden stairs creaked as Miranda and I walked down to the basement.

“I can’t wait for you to see what Grandma and I do for fun,” Miranda looked at me, her eyes twinkling.

“Are you going to give me a hint?” I smiled at her.

She took my hand and squeezed it gently, “Well, we capture exquisite rare things.”

When we reached the bottom of the basement Miranda stopped. She stroked the side of my face and turned my face so our eyes met, “You have the most gorgeous eyes I’ve ever seen.”

It was as though something clicked in my mind and I looked around the basement. A sense of dread slowly rose up in me. Before I could respond, something hit me over the head and I fell to the ground with a thud.

Hey, my name is Dimitri.

As soon as I saw Miranda I knew that I wanted her. There were numerous rumors at the high school that she and her grandmother were into some weird stuff, but I mean, who doesn’t have something weird about their family?
