For now there is no time limit, but since it's a summer themed story it would be nice to finish it before the end of August. :)

The story starts like this:
The sun was burning brightly, the streets were empty and even the birds had stopped chirping. To make it short: The most boring day ever.

She sat on the front porch steps with her sunglasses on, not caring if she got sunburned. At least then something would be happening, but right now, it looked like there was absolutely nothing to do. Sighing, Lisa stood up and walked down the rest of the steps.

(For now we can ignore Rule 3, since no one seems intrested so far!)

Sadly calling her friends wasn't an option. At this time of the year everyone was scrambled around the globe. At least she'd get a lot of postcards for her collection.
When Lisa reached the Street, she had to stop and stare for a moment. The street wasn't empty anymore, but something seemed to be wrong about the guy standing in front of her house now.

(really? I wouldn't describe halfway dying as something wrong with him! LOL)

Ok, that was creepy. Lisa's thoughts were spinning. What to do? She slowly went to the guy, checking if he might be only a halucination, but he wasn't. He was full with blood, but when she decided to pull off his shirt in order to look closer, she realised that in fact the blood wasn't even his.

(Haha how cute! XD But nothing even happened yet! lol)

Lisa just looked at him dumbly. When she had recovered from the shock, she managed to say:"That's actually supposed to be my line. Where did all the blood come from?!" The guy looked from her to the shirt and suddenly looked like he was about to faint again. At least he didn't seem to be a cold-blooded killer.

(It would be sad, if you wouldn't even read your own book! At least you wrote part of it XD )

He looked at her, confused. Lisa took a deep breath and said: "Alright. We might have started the wrong way: I'm Lisa Chase. And who are you? Maybe I can help you somehow?" She couldn't possibly let him disappear on her, he might faint again in this heat and he'd probably need some new clothes, too.

(sorry if the name is bad guys. we can change it if you want)

He looked up at me with a startled expression. After a moment that seemed to take forever to pass, he replied "Tyler." The expression in Tyler's eyes was so vulnerable Lisa couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy.

After an awkward pause Lisa decided to take Tyler inside, where it was a little bit cooler since her parent's just recently had installed an ar conditioner. Her parent's were both workaholics and not taking a single vacation over summer, but at least cared for Lisa's well-being.
Tyler sitting on her favourite couch, it was the most comfy one around here, seemed kind out of place. Lisa just couldn't explain why.

I'm fine with Tyler, too. But it's funny how you always decide the names LOL @Gabby

Haha well the guy needed a name! :D

He stayed silent and looked around the room, as if he was trying to memorize it. Lisa went into the kitchen, grabbed a towel, wet it, and took it to Tyler. She held it out to him. Tyler just looked at her hand like he didn't know what to do, so Lisa started to dab at his arms, trying to wipe away some of the blood that was on him.

It didn't take long for the entire towel to turn completely red, soaked in all the blood. After half an hour and many towels later, Tyler was finally cleaned up. Now that he wasn't completely bloody anymore Lisa allowed all her questions flood her brain. Primarily, what had happened to this guy?

(Why did she need so many towels for cleaning the blood up? At first I thought you were going for something like "They were cleaning and cleaning and cleaning, but the blood never came off" XD)

Tyler looked up and caught Lisa staring at him and her cheeks suddenly flushed. She really had to start acting normal, but what was normal in this situation? Lisa decided to confront him directly again, even though it hadn't worked last time either: "So, Tyler, how did this happen?"
But before he could answer, they heard a disturbing noise from upstairs.

They both looked up, startled, trying to figure out where the sound came from. Confusion clouded Lisa's face knowing that she's the only person in the house by the time. "I'd better go check it out.", Lisa said. Tyler's hand clasped her wrist as she started toward the stairs, stopping her. She looked at Tyler with bewilderment, he had his index finger over his mouth, telling Lisa to be quiet.

Lisa almost stopped breathing, when she heard the noise again. It was clearly coming in their direction. She had to force herself to breath slowly to calm her beating heart. What exactly was in her house? And what had she gotten herself into, when she helped Tyler?

Tyler motioned for Lisa to stay behind him. He went to the stairs and slowly started to walk up, almost tiptoeing to stay as quiet as possible. Lisa was completely confused and followed him a few steps back and kept quiet.

The stairs creaked slightly as they climbed and Tyler winced and paused, throwing a hand behind him as Lisa almost tumbled into him from behind. They both paused, Tyler listening, Lisa trying to keep her heart from pounding so loud she was sure that whoever was upstairs would be able to hear it.......thump...thump...thump...
Then..........a scraping noise sounded.
Lisa's head whipped up, and she ignored Tyler's alarmed glare as she squeezed past him to stare down the hall.

Lisa realised a breath, she didn't know she was holding. The hall was a mess, but in the middle of it sat her cat. "Luna! What are you doing again?", Lisa said and tried to catch the cat, when she heard the scraping noise again. Directly above her head.

She froze, muscles pulling taut as she slowly looked up. There was a low growl and blur of shadowy dark fur as the creature propelled off the creamy ceiling. Lisa flung herself to the side just in time, slamming into the wall. The creature landed down, and she saw that it resembled a wolf, it's eyes a dark piercing blue and it's snarling jaw full of razor sharp points. She looked up in terror as she realized, the creature was separating her from Tyler.

The creature glared at Lisa, growling at her. Lisa looked over the creature at Tyler, completely at a loss for words, frozen on the spot. Tyler looked Lisa in the eyes then looked down the hall. Understanding, Lisa turned around and bolted down the hall, her heart racing out of her chest. She could hear the creature running after her, and just when she felt something run against her hair...... it was gone.

Lisa looked shocked, but managed to run outside. "Are you alright? What was that thing?!" Tyler moaned, but managed to answer: "Just give me a minute and I'll probably be alright again.." Lisa looked at him in disbelief, that had probably been the longest sense-making sentence she ever heard him say!

(No one here, who wants to continue the story? :( )

He got up. It took a lot of effort but, nonetheless, he really shouldn't have been able to after falling out a window with a huge hairy creature. "Seriously though. What was that?" Lisa asked. Tyler gave her a long look and finally said, "I can't tell you, and it's not because you wouldn't understand, but because if I did you'd probably think I belong in a straight jacket."

"After I saw that thing? I'd probably believe you anything.". Lisa said matter of factly. Taylor sighed. "Alright, I'm a werewolf!" Lisa looked at Taylor in utter disbelief, but he ignored her and continued: "I did something bad.. Something REALLY bad. That's why they are hunting me now."

(Alright, it was a hairy creature, so first thing that comes to my mind is a werewolf XD)

''Calm down!!!????'' Lisa screamed. Tyler put his hand over Lisa's mouth to keep her from screaming and pulled her down to sit. ''Can you please not scream? You'll get me caught and I don't want to be found at the moment.'' Lisa looked at him as if he were crazy and said, ''You just told me you're a werewolf. Why wouldn't I run from a psycho who tells me he thinks he's some kind of creature that howls at the moon at night!"

"I knew you wouldn't believe me," Tyler muttered. Lisa's eyes darted back towards the house. "Yeah, okay, well Tyler, It was nice meeting you but you see, I have to, um, go inside because I, um, left the oven…" her voice trailed into silence as she caught him staring at her, one eyebrow cocked. Lisa wondered what she had done to get caught up in this madness.

"Right so you're going to walk in to your house and go to your stove instead of running away and possibly telling my secret to someone," Tyler said with the kind of sarcasm that would usually get Lisa pretty irritated. "Yeah. Of course. Do you think I'm lying or something?" asked Lisa as innocently as she could. Tyler looked at her and said, "I know you are."

Lisa sighed. "So what do you expect me to do now? Maybe want to kill me since I already know too much?", she said trying to copy Taylor's sarcasm as best at possible.
Suddenly he looked really seriously at her and added: "if you talk to much, that might be my only option."

Lisa was about to make another sarcastic remark but stopped when she saw the seriousness in Tyler's eyes. "I don't believe you," she said. "Well that's understandable. I would be worried if you did," Tyler smirked. Lisa narrowed her eyes at started to think about how she could get away from Tyler.

He was probably way too fast and strong for her to outrun him. So what was she supposed to do? She started to shiver, even though it was still sunny outside. She was scared. Lisa looked at Tyler, who now seemed to be kind of dangerous, and took a cautious step back before she said:"You really would kill someone, who just saved your life, when you were bleeding to death?"

"Haha. Well would you save my life now that you know I am a werewolf? I don't think so judging by the look in your eyes," said Tyler. He was walking towards her, his steps bigger, easily catching up to her and defeating hopes of escape. Lisa's eyes darted around looking for a way out. She looked back at Tyler and found that he was less than a foot away. He grabbed her arm and pulled her towards the house.

Lisa was still in shock, being dragged inside by Tylor, but managed to whisper: "I'd still save you.." He only laughed at her though, as if some stupid human would ever be able to overcome her own survival instinct. He didn't like killing people, but he prefered a dead body over a talking witness. Right after he had dragged Lisa inside a small storeroom, the doorbell rang and a male voice shouted:"Lisa, are you there?" Lisa's eyes widened:"That's my neighbour Will.."
