Hola people of the Earth! I got the idea for this story from watching a show with my mom. Enjoy!

Oh yeah. I don't own Vampirates... yet."Hey Rose!" a voice shouted over the noise of the cafeteria. Rose turned to see who it was. It was Jamine, Rose's best friend.

"Hey Min. What's up?" Rose asked. Jasmine rolled her eyes.

"I've told you a million times, don't call me Min. I know we both love Vampirates, but NO!" Jasmine said. This time Rose rolled her eyes.

"Fine... if you don't call me Sally," Rose said. Jasmine reluctlantly agreed. Rose had been called 'Rose' since she could remember. Rose got the nickname beacuse of her dark red hair and emerald green eyes, which also prompted Jasmine to call Rose 'Sally' after Grace and Connor's mother in the book series.

"Could you believe Jenkins? I mean, a three-paged essay on the history of the telephone? And then that stupid Britney was asking if it had to be front and back, that little- Hello Mrs. Jenkins," Jasmine was barely able to save herself as the teacher walked over.

"Hello Miss Williams. Miss Jones. I trust you have started on your homework?" Mrs. Jenkins asked.

"Of course Mrs. Jenkins. Mine is almost finished," Rose said.

"Good job Miss Jones. Well, I must be off." Mrs. Jenkins walked away. The girls looked at each other. Oh my God! they mouthed at each other, then went on to their next class.

The boat clung onto the waves, and Grace and Connor clung onto the boat, their harnesses offering little reassurance. What good was it being tied to a boat when at any moment the sea might slice their vessel in two or crush it in its rough, salty fist?

"We shouldn't have done this," Connor cried. "It was a stupid idea."

"No," shouted Grace, abo-

"Rose! Dinner time!" Rose's mom shouted up the stairs. Rose sighed. She was almost at her favorite part in the book. When Lorcan came into the story. Rose had a secret crush that only Jasmine knew of on the character.

"I'm not hungry! I have a lot of homework to do! I'll eat the leftovers!" Rose shouted back to her mom.

"Alright!" Rose smiled and got back to her book.

"No," shouted Grace, above of the roar of the water. "What choice did we have?"

"We're going to die!"

"We're not dead yet!"

Were those tears rolling down Connor's cheek, or was it the saltwater stinging his eyes? Grace found it impossible to tell. She thought of their father. What would he have done?

"I'll tell you a tale of Vampirates," she sang, bravely, "A tale as old as true."

Connor grasped this crumb of comfort and joined in. The two of them were still singing as the boat spun over and the guard rail snapped in two.

Rose decided to skip to when Grace found out that Lorcan was a Vampirate. That was also one of her favorite parts.

Rose started to read when the bathroom door that led to the bathroom conmected to Rose's room opened.

"Hello?" a voice asked. There was a girl standing there, with long auburn hair and emerald green eyes.

"Uh, who are you?" Rose asked.

"Grace Tempest."
