You know that feeling when someone’s watching you? I know it all too well… I woke up to ten eyeballs burning holes through my head. Feeeeeeeed ussss. Feeeeeeeeeeeeed us. “Oh, you guys,” I mumbled glancing at the clock. Well, it is almost 6:45… “Okay, I’m up, I’m up.” Five bloodsters started jumping and wrestling each other on their way to the sliding door. I fumbled for my slippers, still half-blind, feeling like a mole rudely pulled from its hole. “Hmmm…there’s only one, I wonder where the other slipper could possibly be,” I mumbled with as much sarcasm as I could...
