Biography[]
Monster Blood[]
Evan was sent to his aunt house once, because his parents were making a business trip and he though it was going to be boring, as his aunt Kathryn was deaf, but he found a friend in the neighborhood, Andy, a tomboyish girl, and they both entered an old toy store to find a gift for give to Andy's cousin at his birthday, and they found a strange slimy toy, which Andy though was good to her cousin, but Evan found it first and kept it. He and Andy played with it, and Evan's dog, Trigger, even ate a small part of it. It can bounce, glow in the dark, and do a lot of things. However, after some days, Evan realized that Monster Blood does not fit in its can anymore, finds this strange, and goes to Andy's house to talk with her. however, he was picked up and bullied by two mean teenagers of the neighborhood, the Beyner twins, who were scared away by Evan's dog, Trigger, who was much bigger than usual after eating the Monster Blood.
Evan locks Trigger in the garden, and goes to Andy's house, but is beat up by the twins. Andy, angry with the bullies, helps Evan recover, and lets a little bit of Monster Blood be in a bucket in her house, to help Evan. Evan tries to put the Monster Blood in a bathtub in her aunt's basement, but Kathryn's cat, Sarabeth, scares Evan and makes him dive in the substance, that almost sucks/consumes him, but he is able to escape. Andy goes to his house next day, because her Monster Blood grew into the form of a big-sized slimy monster, and was consuming everything on his way, and even consumed the Beyner twins. It chased them to Kathryn's house, where she revealed that her cat, Sarabeth is in fact the one who caused all that. The cat then transforms into a witch, who reveals that it had Kathryn as her slave, and cursed the kids's Monster Blood so it'd grow and kill then. However, a now giant Trigger appears at the house's door, and attack Sarabeth with its paw, pushing her onto her own Monster Blood, and, with the creator of the spell destroyed, so was the spell itself. The Monster Blood came back to normal and so did Trigger. After that, Evan apologized with Kathryn for his treatment with her, and said goodbye to Andy, as his parents came back a week later, ready to get Evan home. Evan would face the Monster Blood and things that it made grow later.
