Chapter 7

Chapter 7

(Later in the evening)

Nancy comes out of her parent’s room feeling much better. “Wow you sure been busy.” Said Nancy as she looks around the room. Cindy just smiles and replies, “Yes, the only place we didn’t get done was my room. After we are done here we want to attack your place to get it ready to sell. I wanted you there in case there are things you want to keep.”


“OK, thanks I do need some help there and I want to stop somewhere on the way as well” Says Nancy. Cindy just looks at her in puzzlement “why?” Cindy asks Nancy. “I want to go to Jimmy’s grave and thank him for what he did to me. I want to remember him and check the place where he called home and see if there is anything there I want to keep to remind me of him.” Nancy said.

Cindy came over to Nancy and gave her a hug. “I wish I could meet this Jimmy, he sounds like he is a nice person.” Cindy said to comfort Nancy. “You probably would like him mom, I save his life from men and he took me in. I asked him to turn me into vampire. I left him for a few hours when I came back he was dead by those men I chase away the night before.” Replies Nancy sadly.

“Don’t blame yourself Nancy, you didn’t know those men would find his home and do that to him. Remember him the way he was before. I am sure he is watching you all the time now.” Replies Cindy. Nancy doesn’t say anything. Brandon comes in “Dad is here with the truck. He wants to start putting the boxes in now and in the morning we will go to the new house.” Brandon said. Cindy agrees and left the room. Nancy decides to call a pizza joint to order some pizza.

(Later.)

“I think that will be enough for tonight. We are going to be very busy tomorrow as well.” Says Cindy to Henry. Henry agrees, “Yes, I agree too and it looks like Nancy is back to her normal self again.” Henry replies as he watches Nancy talking to Brandon. “After the naps she had today and eating. I am hoping the cops to catch this Guy.” Replies Cindy.

“I agree too, I sure don’t want another family to go through this at all.” Replies Henry. Just then the doorbell went. Diane went to answer the door. Then she returns with the same two cops that have found Nancy from the other night. “Can I get you anything? Sorry if this place is empty we are in the middle of moving.” Replies Cindy. The cops shake their heads “I am officer Gordon and this is my partner Officer Gilroy. We think we have found the guy who attacked Nancy, we want her to come to the station and identify him.” Replies Officer Gordon.

“Yes, I can.” Replies Nancy as she comes into the room. The cops are amazement how she recovered. “It wont takes long. Are you up to it?” asks Officer Gilroy. Nancy shakes her head. “Yes, I want that creep off the streets before he does this again.” Nancy replies.
Henry smiles and replies, “ I agree Nancy. Are we allowed to come? Or Nancy has to do it alone?”

“No, you can come to give her support if she wants it.” Said Officer Gordon. Nancy stops and thinks for a few minutes “Yes I want some one there with me.” Nancy replies. Officer Gilroy smiles and seeing how they want this guy off the streets “OK, that is fine with us.”

(At the police station)

“This room where you can see the men they can’t see you. Take you time and let us know which one it is.” Said Officer Gilroy. Nancy nods her head in agreement enters the room with Officer Gilroy. Nancy looks at the men for an hour before she chooses the man that attacked her. Officer Gilroy asks, “ Are you sure?” Nancy nods her head yes. “He is the one who did it. I recognize the marks on his left hand when I grab him away from Mary.” Nancy replies.

They leave the room. “Nancy, you were brave to do that I have seen other people in there scared to death to point to a suspects like that.” Said Officer Gilroy. Nancy smiles “I want that guy off the streets so he won’t do this again to another family.” Nancy said.

(Later)

“I am glad he was caught. He wont causes any more problems.” Says Diane, as she gets ready for bed. Brandon nods as he packs a bag with clothes. “I agree with you Diane, I am still wondering why he did treat that girl like that why did he kill her for?” Brandon asks. Nancy just shrugged her shoulders “ I have no idea really, I am happy he is off the streets as well. We might not know why. Brandon we better go and gets some good sleep I know vampires don’t need sleep. We are going to very busy tomorrow at my place and my friend place as well.” Says Nancy as she walks toward the door with Brandon following close behind her. “I am glad Nancy is back to herself now.” Replies Cindy as she watches them leave.

(Next Mooring At Nancy’s Place)


“Thanks for staying with me Brandon.” Says Nancy as she makes breakfast for them. Brandon stretches the kinks out “No problem, thou the couch aren’t the comfy place to sleep on.” Says Brandon as he makes a face. Nancy smiles “ I know, as you can tell this place isn’t big enough for a family either. It was prefect for me.” Said Nancy.

“That couch has to go. It probably clashes against the colors mom has picked out for the new house.” Said Brandon as he helps himself to the food. “I agree, some of these were giving to me when I was helping people move.” Nancy answers as she sat down to eat her breakfast. “Do you think you might have to go to court over this?” Asks Brandon. Nancy shrugged her shoulders. “I haven’t a slight clue. If I do I will tell what happen that night.” Replies Nancy.

“I am sure the cops will let you know. Who is this Jimmy person?” Asks Brandon. Nancy stops what she is doing and thinks back when she first meets Jimmy and replies “He was a gentle sole that won’t harm no one.” Brandon goes over and comforts Nancy. “It looks like you miss him.” Brandon said. Nancy just nods her head yes. “Even thou I just meet him I could tell he was a kind sole. He wouldn’t bite any one. The reason he did to me was from this illness I had.” Replies Nancy sadly.

(Just then there was a honk from outside.)

“That must be dad for us.” Replies Brandon. Nancy went over to the window and look outside to see her family there. “Yes it is mom, dad and Diane.” Replies Nancy. Brandon heads over and looks as well. “I think they all want to help, I will go and bring them here.” Replies Brandon. Nancy shakes her head yes and starts to look thru things as well.

(Hour later)

“Wow, Nancy you sure had allot of stuff here.” Said Cindy as she wipes her brow off. Nancy is amazed as well “Yeah I guess I took after you mom.” Nancy replies. Diane sits down on the floor “What are you going to do with these other boxes that you don’t want?” Diane asks. Nancy stops and thinks “I am sure a donate station could take them.” Replies Nancy. Henry agrees and replies, “ They are always asking for stuff. We will do that on the second trip thou the truck will be full with the things Nancy wants to keep and plus at her friend place as well.”

“Good idea. I am still wondering if all his stuff is still there.” Replies Nancy thinking. Henry stops and thinks and replies “ Could be, with those men in jail his location still be a secret.” Nancy nods her head in agreement.

(Later after they loaded the boxes that Nancy wants to keep they head over to Jimmy place.)


“Wow, this place is neat” Brandon said. Nancy smiles and it brings good memories back to her. “I am glad his stuff is still here.” Replies Nancy as she looks around the place. Cindy is amazed how this place survived all these years. “I am glad it is still here. I hope he doesn’t mind you taking some stuff.” Said Cindy. Nancy goes and sits on the bed and replies, “I am sure he wants me to take some stuff and donate the other stuff. He is that kind of person. I want to go to his grave and pray. I want to thank him for what he did. I want to go alone thou” Replies Nancy. Cindy goes over and hugs Nancy and replies, “We understand. We will move the boxes into the truck and wait for you there.”

Nancy smiles and leaves them. “I wish I can meet him, Nancy seems to miss him a lot.” Said Diane as she watches Nancy leaves. Henry is watching as well “He took her in after she save his life. I would feel the same way too. I am also glad he did or Nancy won’t be here with us today.” Henry replies.

(Later at the new house everything is put away where it belongs.)

Nancy has found a picture album and is looking thru it. Diane comes over and asks, “What are you looking at?” Nancy shows her, “Look at this picture does the house behind this boy looks familiar?” Nancy asks as she shows Diane the picture. “I think it is the same house we bought. Does it say what the boy’s name is?” Diane asks. Nancy carefully takes out the picture and turns it over and it says Jimmy Peterson. “I wonder if this is Jimmy I knew as a kid.” Said Nancy.

“Are there more albums?” asks Diane. Nancy shakes her head yes as she puts the picture back into the one she has. Then she opens one that was a later date and yelps as surprise look on her face. “What is it?” asks Diane puzzled. Nancy points to the picture and replies, “That is Jimmy, he is the one I saved that night.” Diane looks closely at the picture “Are you sure Nancy?” Diane asks. Nancy nods her head yes, still in shock on what she just saw. Cindy, Henry and Brandon came running into the room. “We heard Nancy scream a bit.” Said Henry.

“This picture is Jimmy. Diane and I think this house belong to Jimmy’s family.” Replies Nancy still in shock. Cindy goes over and looks at both pictures and agrees with her. “I wonder what really happen to them?” Cindy replies. Brandon notices a book and picks it up. “I think this is his diary. It might tell us what happen and why he became a vampire.” Brandon said as he hands the diary over to Nancy.

“I have no idea if I should read it or not.” Said Nancy as she looks at the dairy. Cindy sits beside Nancy and puts her arm around her and replies “I am sure Jimmy wont mind Nancy, I am sure his spirit left that book so you can take it and learn from his past. I have a feeling he knew that you were going to forgive us and knew we wanted a bigger home.
I am sure he felt sad when he had to leave this place.” Nancy cries softly from what Cindy had just said. “I had a feeling the first time I walked in here I felt his presence here.” Nancy answers. She goes into a corner and starts to read the dairy. Three hours later she returns to the others and explains to them what really happen to the house and why Jimmy was a vampire.
