40 Chapter 40

The rest of the week flew by pretty quickly, and I didn't really have too much of a chance to talk to my friends about what was going on except for at lunch. Since that was a public space, we had to be careful what we talked about, too. It wasn't until Saturday that Emma and I met over at Lucy's house so she could show us all the stuff she'd found on why people thought vampires might be real.

We were sprawled out on her sofa in her bedroom, Emma in the recliner nearby, and while the TV was on, no one was watching it. Each of us had our laptops. I had my notebook, too, and Lucy had hers.

"Okay, go to this website," Lucy said, rattling off a web address. Emma and I both typed it in.

"Dark Shadows?" Emma said as the page loaded in front of each of us. "How did you find this?"

"I did a bunch of digging, and I found some forums where people talk about their experiences with vampires," Lucy explained. "This is a website where they post their stories."
