Tommy Slater Fear Street Novels & Stories

“You’d tell everyone about my secret? Oh, I dare you.” She raised her chin, her eyes daring. “You don’t scare me.” Haunting memories played in my mind’s eyes, blood-red and black day. “Only a fool won’t fear me.” My eyes darted, searching for any signs of fear, but all I got was flaming defiance. Like a mortal rivaling a god. Tommy said the same, with the exact expression. Who are these people, and why am I scared of them? “We’ve come to an agreement, then,” her voice was final.

I cry. "Don't be stupid. We are too young to die. I am sure they will not kill us. They want to make us worry. I do not believe the Italian Mafia still kills people. In today's world, with all the technology, don't you think they will be afraid to kill somebody and be afraid to be caught on camera? We are street gangs, and the only time we kill someone is if we can kill them at a distance or with a drive-by. I am not worried about them killing us. I am concerned that you might lose your mind. I don't like your uncle and aunt much, but I know that they will not let you die. They will come and beg on their knees if they think that you are going to die. You are worried for nothing. We are not i

I can’t move, can’t scream I’m frozen in terror of the thought of living alone like Ash. That’s when I hear a car pull up. I don’t want to see who it is but I dread I know. It’s Zac; he’s just got home from college to find a house of ash and fire. He comes running over to me, while I’m screaming “Zac go back to the car.” “Get back in the car.” Desperately I scream “Go Zac, leave, now.” I yell but it’s useless, he obviously can’t hear the frantic desperation in my voice. I start to run towards him but I’m too late, the monster gets their three steps before I do. It lifts him off the ground

He was lying face down, and face up, all at once. I live in that house now. I am the village "fixer." And every night, I listen to the scratching beneath the floorboards. I don't fear the ones that crawl. I fear the ones that wait. Because now I know that the most terrifying thing in the world isn't death—it’s a corpse that refuses to close its eyes.

“Then you better start making plans of dying in hiding. That's if he doesn't find you here before then.” “You should be afraid of your life. I will kill you if he doesn't show up,” Tommy snarled. Lyra panicked. She shrugged.“He'd rather send his guards. I am not that important to him.” “Let me decide that, not you!” “As you already know, he will probably be busy trying to find that girl.” Tommy stopped abruptly. Slowly he wheeled around, his darkened eyes pinched inside. “That girl…”

"You think a little fire scares me? I'm never letting you—" He didn't finish. Killian appeared behind him— moving too fast for human eyes to track—and grabbed Tommy by the throat, lifting him off the ground with one hand. "You murdered her father," Killian said, and his voice was inhuman now. More growl than words. "Sent her his head in a box. On a Christmas morning." Tommy clawed at Killian's hand, choking, his feet kicking uselessly in the air. "You're going to die for that," Killian continued, his grip tightening.

Diana agreed, “Should I call you Tomas or Tommy?” He smirked, “I prefer Tommy.” "Good," she said, embracing him, and they both laughed after she told him everything that had happened. “Wow. You are a vampire. A seer. I am a werewolf. Then we did time travel with a master vampire who sired the two of us. Wow! That is wicked,” Tommy grumbled. “Because Butler Rosalyn made it sound like virgins were bad.” She waved a dismissive hand. “I know.”

“Yeah. I mean, it’s not like I’m going anywhere far. Still at that local community art school, living at home, so I can’t just… walk out.” I wanted to scream. Or drive back right now and throw something at our father’s smug, red-cheeked face. Tommy looked up again, blinking fast. “I’ve been having panic attacks. Like, real ones. Mom just tells me to breathe and stay calm, but she won’t do anything. She won’t say a word to him.” My chest tightened. “She never did,” I murmured. “I thought she’d get stronger after you left,” Tommy whispered. “But she’s still scared.”

Harper I set off looking for Caroline when I heard screaming coming from the top floor. I sprinted up as quickly as possible towards the sound. I just rounded the corner into the main bedroom hallway when I heard a door slam. Tommy was leaning against the wall opposite his room with a shocked look on his face. “What the hell?” I called, and he turned to face me.
