Darren's P.O.V

What do you do when you're stuck in a mountain full off vampires? Well, there's not much you can do. Except getting drunk and fight with each other. But when you're a vampire prince, there's a lot of thing you have to do. That's why I'm happy that Mr. Crepsley is right by my side.

Ever since I "died" and left my family a few years ago, I've looked at Mr. Crepsley as my "new" father. He always helps me with my duties (as the youngest vampire prince it's hard to know what to do and say…) and he teaches the vampire rites, so I can understand them better. Mr. Crepsley is the man who turned me into a bloodsucking vampire. Nowadays I sort of "like" to drink blood, but in the beginning I refused to, I tried to keep something inside me, as a human, but I realized that my days as a human were over.

Sometimes I think about turning into a human again, but then I think about all the adventures and experience I've had with Mr. Crepsley, Harkat, Evra and Debbie. Debbie is a girl I met in Mr. Crepsley's hometown, she was nice, and I liked her, but when she started to act as a fangirl… To be honest, I told her that I didn't like her in that way, and surprisingly she understood. Or at least she didn't start to cry in front of me. Oh, and Debbie doesn't know that me and Mr. Crepsley are vampires.

Back to the "turning into a human" part… I don't think I would've wanted to turn into a human again, no matter what…

*Yawn*

"Nhn… I'm tired." I said and rose from the chair. I stretched myself.

"You can go to bed, if you want to." My friend and co-worker Arrow said.

"Okay, see you tomorrow then." I said and walked out of the Hall of Princes. I walked to my and Harkat's room. I sneaked into the room so I wouldn't wake Harkat up, but he wasn't there. I wonder where he could be… I went to Mr. Crepsley's room to see if he was there.

I knocked on the door and slowly opened it, I saw Mr. Crepsley sitting on the floor with something in his hand. When he saw me he hid the thing in his hand behind his back.

"Hi Darren, what are you doing here?"

"'I'm looking for Harkat."

"He's training with Vanez."

"Aha… Then, I will go back to my room and sleep for a couple of hours." I said and was on my out of the room.

"Darren, wait a minute…!" Mr. Crepsley rose and grabbed my arm.

"What is it?" I said and looked into his eyes.

"Uhm… Never mind… Goodnight." He said and closed the door.

"Goodnight…?" I said and went back to my room. I lay down in my bed. It is a hammock. I don't like to sleep in a coffin. The last thing I remember before falling asleep was that I was thinking about the thing in Mr. Crepsley's hand, what could it be? When Mr. Crepsley has that expression of his… Well it's kind of hard not to wonder what it is.

I woke up in the middle of the night (or at least I think it was night) and realized that Mr. Crepsley was sitting by the side of my hammock.

"Darren, are you finally awake now?" he said and poked my forehead.

"Yeah…" I said and rose.

"There is someone who wants to talk to you and the rest of the vampires." Mr. Crepsley rose and started to walk out of my room.

"Who is it?" I said and walked after him.

"I don't know. Paris said that I had to go and get you right away…" We walked fast and quietly. When we entered the Hall of Princes the rest of the vampire tribe shut up and stared at

us.

"Paris, Mika, Arrow." Mr. Crepsley said and bowed to the vampire princes. Then he took a seat in the front row.

"Larten, you should come here to." Paris said. I and Mr. Crepsley walked to them. I took my seat and Mr. Crepsley stood next to me.

"We have a special guest here today…" Paris said, he didn't look to happy, and I know why, because when a small and fat man entered the room I knew it had to be bad news.

"Hello, my friends." Mr. Tiny said and I thought for myself 'we're not your friends!'

"I have something to tell you…" He continued and looked unserious.

"There will be a war between the vampires and the vampanezes. I'm calling it the War of Scars…" He said and looked proud.

"You can win the War of Scars if you kill the Vampaneze Lord. But only three vampires are allowed to kill him… or else you lose the war and the whole vampire kind will go under…!"

It took about two seconds for everyone to realize what he said, then the chaos broke lose… Everyone was panicking, screaming and running around. It took about five minutes before Paris was able to "control" everyone. I glared at Mr. Tiny and saw that he really was enjoying this… When everyone was quite and sat down, Mr. Tiny continued.

"There are only two of the three hunters in this mountain right now. And those two are…" I almost knew what he was going to say. "The youngest vampire prince ever, Darren Shan, and my beloved Larten Crepsley! 3" First I looked at Mr. Tiny and it looked like he was daydreaming… Probably sweet dreams… Then I looked at Mr. Crepsley and his face was a little green, and it looked like he was going to puke…

"Okay… Uhm... Yeah..." Mr. Tiny said and "woke up".

"If another vampire than the three hunters tries to interfere, you will lose the war… and die." he smirked.

"If I were one of the hunters…" He said and glared at me and Mr. Crepsley.

"I would pack my belongings and go out and search for the vampaneze lord. Oh, and you only have four chances to kill him. You're first chance is already gone. It was when Kurda tried to help you."

"He tried to kill us, not help us!" a vampire yelled from the back in the room.

"No, he tried to help you. And…!" Before anyone else was able to argue with Mr. Tiny, I said.

"So what you're saying is that I, Larten and another vampire are supposed to kill the vampaneze lord, or we'll die?"

"That's correct…" He said. I nodded and thought about it for a while, and then Harkat rose and said.

"I'm not a vampire, so I can help them, right?"

"Yes, you can." Mr. Tiny said. I looked at Harkat and smiled, he is my best friend, and it would be a lot more fun to have him with us.

"I have one more thing to say to the hunters before I leave… Follow your hearts, or you won't be able to find the Vampaneze Lord." When he had said that, he disappeared. Just like that. I looked at Mr. Crepsley, then at Harkat and then on the rest of the vampires. No one really understood what happened that day, but me, Mr. Crepsley and Harkat packed our belongings, just like Mr. Tiny told us to do, said goodbye to the vampires and walked out of the mountains, and into the forest. Mr. Tiny told us to follow our hearts. But right now my heart didn't say anything about where we should be going so we ended up walking around in the forest.

One day when we sat around a campfire and talked about what Mr. Tiny had said, Larten got an idea.

"My heart tells me to go and see someone… I want to meet Evanna!" He said.

"Who is Evanna?" Harkat said and looked suspicious at Mr. Crepsley.

"She's a friend of mine." He smirked, why did he smirk?

"And… Well, she's a witch, but for god sake, don't call her witch… It would be the end of the world…"

We talked about it and decided that we were going to see Evanna as soon as possible.

We're sleeping during the days and walking during the nights.

But this day I woke up in the middle of the morning, I had to drink some water, or my throat would kill me. I walked to the lake to drink some water. I sat down in front of the lake. I closed my eyes, leaned over the lake and drunk some water.

Once I was done drinking, I splashed water in my face and then I opened my eyes.

"Who the fuck are you?" I screamed when I saw a man with hair to his shoulders and a beard. I turned around but I couldn't see the man behind me, then he has to be in the lake. I turned back to the lake and poked the water, but the man didn't move… Then I realized something… It was me! My reflection! I touched my beard, creepy… what had happened? Last time I checked I was bold! I rose and ran to Mr. Crepsley and Harkat to tell them, and show them what happened to me.

"Mr. Crepsley! Harkat! Wake up!" I screamed and the sat up with a snatch, they looked tired. When they saw me, Harkat grabbed his axe and Mr. Crepsley was ready to fight.

"It's me, Darren!" I said and stopped about five meters away from them.

"Darren…?" Harkat said and looked suspicious at me.

"Yes! I don't know why, but my hair grew and I got a beard!" I said and then Mr. Crepsley fell to the ground and started to laugh.

Ten minutes later…

"Aw, Darren you finally turned into a real man!" Mr. Crepsley said and walked up to me and hugged me. Mr. Crepsley hugged me? That was a shock for me…

"Why do I have a beard?" I said and Mr. Crepsley let go of me, puh, he was almost hugging me to death.

"You're in the puberty." He said with a weird smile on his lips.

"The puberty?"

"Yes. You will soon become a real man." Mr. Crepsley said and hugged me again…

"Darren…" He whispered in my ear, so Harkat wouldn't hear him. "Now that you're soon a real man… I want to tell you something…"

"What…?" I said a bit excited.

"I love you." When Mr. Crepsley said those three words, I dropped my chin and my eyes flew up… What did he just say? Does Mr. Crepsley love me? Since when? What the heck is this?
