Title of chapter: Can’t fall asleep

Goten couldn’t sleep.
He got out of bed and went to the kitchen to get a snack, just when he suddenly felt the present of someone.
He turned around and saw nothing. “Must be my imagination.” He thought, and then continued to search the fridge for something to eat, he felt someone standing behind him.
He got a chill. And thousand of butterflies in his stomach.
He spun around his head, and saw Goku standing there, half asleep.
“Dad, you scared me half to death..!”
“Gomen son, I was just hungry.” He replied, rubbing his eyes.
“We still have chicken.” Goten said, holding a plate with chicken in front of his dad.
“Let’s eat!” Goku said, taking the plate.
After the two Saija-jins ate the chicken, Goku went back to bed.
“Oh, why can’t I sleep?!” Goten whined, holding his eyelids down with his fingers. But suddenly he snapped out from his thought and whining, when he sensed somebody standing behind him.
“Dad, are you…” he was cut of when he didn’t see anybody standing there. “ Kami, this is creepy.” He said to himself.
Goten poured a glass of milk and drank it quickly, when he once again felt somebody standing behind him. But he ignored it.
“Goten dear, give me a glass of warm milk.” He heard his mom say.
He jumped up a little bit, but recognized the voice, and replied: “Sure mom.”
After Chichi drank her milk and went to bed, Goten still didn’t feel sleepy. Now he felt someone breathing at his neck and that gave him the shivers.
“Mom, do you..” he was cut of when he turned around and saw a girl, at his age and quite pale, standing there.
“Who” the girl putting her two fingers over his lips cut him of once again.
“Who I am is not important.” A whispering female voice said in his mind.
He looked at the girls’ eyes. They were very light blue, almost white.
“Be aware of the dark…” the voice said ,once again, and now Goten saw an evil smile on her lips.
“What?”
“Ssshhh…” she said, putting her finger over his lips, once again.
Suddenly she gave him a look that gave him the shivers. And now she smile even more, so that her fangs could be seen.
Goten looked with horror at her and walked back a few steps.
“M… m…”
He tried to call for his mom, but his voice failed him, and he couldn’t say a word.
“It’s no use, human…” she spoke.
Now she started to walk closer to him, showing her fangs through a smile.
“Give in..!” she whispered.
Goten couldn’t move, he was paralysed in fear, but still he fought.
“Dear Kami, I’m gonna be killed by a vampire!!” his mind screamed.
“No your not.” She said, now standing in front of him. “I’m just going to drink a little from you. Nothing much.” She said, tapping his head, just to make fun of him.
Goten closed his eyes tight, and wished she would leave.
“But hey! I’m a Saijan! I can scare her away with my ki!” he thought.
He held out his hand and made a ki ball that shone very bright, just when she was about to sting his neck for blood, that it made her blind for a moment.
“Ah, I can’t see!” she screamed, hovering away a bit from him.
“Now it’s my turn!” Goten said, holding her arms.
“If you harm me..!” she hissed, gut was cut of by Goten, who held her closer to himself..
“Never mess with a Saijan- jin, sweetheart” he replied with a n evil grin on his face, just before he let her go.
“I’ll be back!” she hissed, disappearing into the shadows.
“Cute, but short tempered.” He said to himself, discharging the ki ball. “And now, hit the sack!”
And so he went to bed, falling fast asleep.
