Barnabas Collins glanced up at Collinwood, his most precious estate, with a surprising feeling of sadness. 'You're being ridiculous,' he thought to himself. 'You're leaving for only a fortnight. You'll be back at home before you can blink.' But not even that would calm him. Last time he left Collinwood for a long period of time, he was put in a casket and stuck in the earth for nearly two centuries.

"Master B?" the whispy, voice of Willie called from a distance. "Elizabeth is gettin' all antsy. Says the traffic's gonna be 'orrible if we don't get a move on."

Barnabas turned, "…tell her I shall only be a few more moments. I am merely just…saying farewell."

With a head nod, Willie went back over to the family's Thunderbird, leaving the vampire to his own devices.

The two-hundred and eighteen year old was now staring at the house forlornly. "Fear not Collinwood," he whispered. "I shall return, and this time, you won't have to wait so long for me." Even if the house could not hear his goodbyes, he knew the dearly departed members of the Collins family could.

"BARNABAS!"

With a massive eye roll and a deep sigh, Barnabas turned to see a very angry blond walking towards him. "Yes Carolyn? To what do I bestow this…honor?"

"Well to start you can get yourself in the car! Cause we should've been on I-95 a half hour ago. But, no! You have to be staring at the house, talking to yourself." She finished with a huff.

Leaning heavily on his wolf's head cane, he raised an eyebrow at his distant cousin. "A thousand pardons my dear, but when you've lived as long as I have, you'll learn it's necessary to say goodbye to one's home. For, you never know, when you'll lay eyes on it again."

Carolyn rolled her eyes. "…are you stoned or something?"

To that, Barnabas chuckled. "They tried to stone me, my dear. It did not work."

Her face fell flat. "Just get in the damn car." She turned on her heal and stomped off.

"Victory, thy name is Barnabas." He said to himself and went over to the Thunderbird, where the other family members were readying themselves for the drive. Willie was fixing the engine, Elizabeth and her brother Roger were trying to shove the last suitcase into the car, Carolyn was fixing her hair in the rear view mirror, Dr. Hoffman was in the back seat checking out the map, and David was just staring out the window. But, someone was missing. Opening the backseat door he cleared his throat to get Julia's attention.

"Oh there you are Barnabas." She said glancing up from the map. "Now we're just waiting on Vicky."

"Exactly my question," he said. "Where is Miss. Winters?"

"I'm here!" a soft voice called, and the petite figure of Victoria Winters appeared beside Barnabas. "Oh I'm sorry for taking so long, I overslept." She smiled and went over to Mrs. Stoddard and Roger, who were still struggling with the luggage. "Allow me."

Roger sighed and shook his head. "Be my guest Vicky but you won't-" And with one shove, she pushed the valise into the trunk of the car. "...be able to…" Roger finished in astonishment.

"Well, shall we get going?" The brunette said as she entered the back seat of the car, leaving behind a very bewildered Roger.

Elizabeth tugged on her brother's arm. "Quit gawking Roger, let's go." She said and then got into the passenger side of the car.

"I'm coming! Willie is the engine ready yet?" Roger asked now slightly pissed off, and fumbled for the keys in his pocket.

"Yep," Willie replied closing the hood of the car. "She's running like she's clear off the show room floor." He gave the roof of the Thunderbird a loving pat. "She's gettcha anywhere ya need to be."

Carolyn rolled down the window and stuck her head out. "How about we actually GET there hmm?"

Roger shook his head and opened the driver side door. "We're going now, Carolyn," He turned his attention back to Willie. "You and Mrs. Johnson can hold down the fort. Make sure nothing gets stolen or set on fire or what have you." Roger started the ignition and the engine roared the life. "We'll be back in a month. Goodbye." And with a chorus of 'Goodbye Willie' the Collins family set off.

I just want to add in, I hope everyone on the Northeast who was effected by Sandy, is doing okay. I didnt get as bad damage as I though. All my love to you. Review..and you'll get a Barnabas Plushie...HAVE A MERRY (shh) Creepy Halloween!
