Loonakids: Blood-Sucking Excitement

Oh boy, another one! Anyway, in case you don't remember since I haven't mentioned it since "Boo! You're Dead!", the gang lives on top of the Hell-Mouth. And Austin, BTW, is still just a strange ol' wolf who the gang has recently come into contact with and Kelly is totally into him. And keep an eye out throughout this story because it will be important. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

16 anthros and 2 humans were out on a street in downtown Acmetropolis in the year 2791. It was late at night.

Jack Duck, 15-years-old, sat on a bench, playing with a paddle-ball. "12, 13, 14…Why are we out? Nothing ever happens this time of year."

"Yeah, you just keep thinking that," said Kelly Coyote, "I seem to recall that it was this time last year that Nadine's 'boyfriend' showed up."

"Don't remind me," said Nadine Bunny, the oldest of the 15-year-olds, refusing to relive the memory of the guy who had tricked her into liking him.

"Just wait," said Daniella Runner (human), "something's going to happen eventually."

Something jumped out at some of them from behind. Benny Bunny jumped out of the way to reveal a guy who looked about 19. "Looks like Aunt Danni was right."

The guy turned around to see that 8 of the other anthros had changed into black uniforms, showing themselves to be the Loonakids. He turned back to Benny, who was now in black and yellow.

"Alright, then," said Benny, "looks like we've got to get rid of somebody, after all. Loonakids, attack!"

Jack jumped at him. The guy grabbed his leg before he could land. "Uh oh." Jack screamed as he was launched backwards and smashed into a light pole. Someone came up and pulled him out. "Thanks, I—Oh, it's you."

A grey and white wolf anthro was standing next to him.

"Hey, Austin," said Kelly, "Right on time, again, I see."

"Exactly," Austin Wolfe answered, "So, what's going on here?"

"Don't know," said Sarah Coyote, Kelly's little sister, "This guy just came out of nowhere."

The guy looked at Austin. The wolf could see his eyes. His eyes were actually yellow instead of white, with red slits for pupils instead of black dots.

Austin almost gasped but stopped himself. This guy was way too dangerous for even these superhero teens to handle. He knew what he had to do. He went off to the bench Jack was sitting on and hid behind it while the fight continued. He took one of the wooden planks from the back of the bench and snapped it in half.

Nadine tossed a few fireballs at the guy, but he easily dodged them. "What's up with this guy? It's like he has the reflexes of a jungle cat 7 times over!"

Tech (Kelly and Sarah's dad) shrugged.

"Heads up!"

The Loonakids ducked. A wooden stake went flying at the guy, piercing him in the heart and turning him to dust.

Austin got up from behind the bench. "That was a close one."

"OK, what was that?" asked Kelly, not quite understanding what he had just done.

"And we did all see that guy turn to dust, right?" asked Jack, kind of freaking out.

"He was a Vampire," said Austin.

"OK, that was not a Vampire," said Kelly, "I've seen Vampires and that guy was just—!"

"We haven't seen a real Vampire," said Danni, "We've seen a bunch of Aureals and their mistress."

"Oh," said Kelly.

"OK, but you did see him turn to dust, right?" asked Danger Duck (Jack's dad).

"Thank you!" Jack said.

"Hey, I saved your lives," said Austin, "If I hadn't slain him, one of you might have been bitten."

"I thought only sunlight could kill one of them," said Sarah.

"That is also true, but a stake to the heart is much more efficient," Austin corrected.

"With the added bonus of the 3 things that injure them: crosses, garlic, and holy water," Daniella added.

"Exactly," Austin said.

"But where there's one, there will be more," said Wendy (Duck's wife, Jack's mom, and Danni's sister).

"Oh, great, just what we need," said Tech, "an army of evil blood-suckers coming after us before springtime."

"Well, look at it this way," said Sophie (Tech's wife and Danni and Wendy's triplet coyote sister), "it's not their fault they were bitten…most of the time."

"Well, we can't go after them, anyway," said Lexi (Nadine and Benny's mom), "They're way too dangerous and way too strong."

"Lexi's right," said Ace (Lexi's husband), "There's no way we're going to be able to fight these guys unless you can just zap up stakes 24/7."

"The kids aren't strong enough for Vampiric magic, especially slaying," said Daniella, "And we tire out our magic easily from conjuring, because triplets are strongest with combined spells, the downside to being us."

"Or we could find the Slayer!" Austin suggested.

"Great idea!" Wendy said.

"The who?" asked Ryan, Sarah, and Michael at the same time.

"The Vampire Slayer," said Daniella, "It's a girl destined to battle Vampires and kill them. And she has a Watcher who trains her for it and stuff like that. Of course, her identity is a secret, so she will be hard to find."

"That's it, we're doomed," Jack said.

"Will you stop saying that?" asked Robert Runner (Daniella's roadrunner son), annoyed.

"Yeah, you stole your dad's catch phrase," said Lexi.

"Yeah, you—hey!" Duck yelled.

Everyone except Austin, Duck, Jack, and Wendy laughed (but you could tell that Wendy was struggling to try not to).

"The point is," said Wendy, "we need to find this Slayer, and, if she's serious about her job, she won't just give it away for us. Although, it shouldn't be hard considering what we live on top of."

"The ground?" asked Ryan. Sarah and Michael laughed and Kelly, Tech, and Sophie smiled.

"Come on," said Kelly, "We'll start searching tomorrow."

A young blonde girl named Brenda Sanders was in her room. She opened a drawer in her desk to reveal a cross, a bottle of holy water, garlic, and a bunch of stakes. "It's a tough job, but you get used to it." She got into bed. "More Vampire-slaying tomorrow." She turned out the light and thought about her old Watcher, who died a couple weeks before.
