   I nodded, moving Jasper up a bit, he was slipping. "You know? Mary and Olivia's parents had not been told what happened." I hummed, looking calmly at her.

   Coral smiled; "Yes, Adam told me." She mentioned, looking at Adam for a moment before turning her gaze back to me.

   "He told me that his friends and him were being mean, really mean, to Jasper and another kid named Goth.-

   -Then that Olivia pushed Jasper off the play structure." Coral explained, looking at me as though she were asking if it were the truth.

   I nodded, "Yes, that's what happened." I smiled, happy that at least one of my son's bullies told the truth.

   "Sorry for being so mean.. I just wanted to be popular like the girls.." the kid apologized, looking down at the floor.

   Jasper smiled brightly; "It's okay, just stop being mean to people, it doesn't make you cool." He answered, hugging my cloak.

『••✎••』

   I placed Jasper down in bed,  he had passed out a little bit ago, and that's when I decided that it was time to go home.

   I wrote him a small note just to tell him that I had gone on the night walk to the lake. I leashed Mollie and walked out the door.

   At least I don't have to worry about dinner, Coral was nice enough to let us eat with them.

   I locked my door and headed to the forest, making sure that none of the villagers saw me.

   When I got to the lake, it was unusually quiet, even Mollie didn't want to play like she usually does. She just stood next to me and looked around.

   I heard some leaves rustling, and a twig snap. Mollie began barking and growling a lot. Then something, no someone ran at me.

....

You think I'd leave you on a cliffhanger?

I mean... I would, but there's only 800 words.

   Mollie snapped at the figure, if she is being this aggressive, that rules out my guess of it being Fallacy.

   "Hey!" The figure hissed, moving back enough for me to wiggle away. I stood up when I got far enough away.

   "Mollie! Viens ici!" I ordered, she obeyed and sat down next to me, bearing her teeth at the unknown person.

   They got themself together and off the ground. I could now see that they are also a skeleton, who had black bones, one green eye light, and a goopy substance covering them. They were also a vampire.

   "You look a bit like Songe.." I mumbled, just loud enough for them to hear. I was looking at them with my eyes very slightly squinted.

   "How do you know his brother?" Another figure walked out of the bush.

   This one was also a skeleton, with white bones this time, and a red zigzag scar under his right eye socket. He also has one red and one white eye light. He is also a vampire.

   "He's a friend of mine.. You're Macabre? Songe talks a lot about you." I mentioned, looking into the dark skeleton's eye sockets.

   "Yes... that's my name..." Macabre confirmed, staring at me. "What are you doing in the forbidden forest?" The other said.
