Lavinia Collins and her older sister Luciana Collins stepped out the airplane into the cool Scotland air. "It's so pretty here!" Lavinia said. Luciana sighed.
The two had moved to Scotland when they had found their single mother had died of a stroke. Their aunt Dottie and Uncle Bob agreed to take them in.
"I'm glad to be out of that plane. Tight places make me more claustrophobic." Luciana sighed as they walked over to the baggage collecting area.
"Luci! Vinny!" their cousin Tony yelled, waving frantically as they finally saw them. Luci was a 16 year old girl with black hair and blue eyes, as was Vinny, but she was 11.
Luci was really tired working off jet lag, but Vinny was bursting at the seams. "the weather is perfect here." Luci said as the got in the green car to go to their new home.
"do you guys like vampires?" Tony asked. "Aw, Tony not this again." Bob said. Little did he know that both of them had an obsession with vampires. Luci always wore vampire fangs. They looked really real, and on top of that her skin was so pale that the Rookery would have thought her to be one, had she not been out during the day.
"We absolutely love them!" Vinny and Luci said at the same time. Luci flashed her vampire fangs. Tony's eyes widened. "Are you a vampire?"
"No Tony, I am not a vampire. These are fake, see?" she took out one of the fangs, slowly. Tony was amused. "We're here." Their Aunt Dottie said as they approached the large castle-like structure. "Its so….ITS HUGE!" Vinny exclaimed. "indeed." Luci commented, yawning.
They followed their aunt up the stairs to their new rooms. Their rooms were across from each other and down the hall from Tony's room.
Luci was unpacking her things, listening to lost at sea, by in this moment. She put up her posters of bullet for my valentine, along with other posters of her favorite characters from true blood and some of different Tim Burton movies. But not Twilight, she hated twilight. It gave good vampire movies like Dracula a bad name.
She hung some paper lanterns and glow in the dark stars on her ceiling. She put up her clothes and different things, she was elated to find she had her own bathroom.
she set up all her pictures of her, her friends and her boyfriend who still lived in London. She shed a tear as she did so. Her Ipod switched to when the storm subsides.
She set her all her musical instruments up: bass, acoustic and electric guitars, violin, clarinet, alto saxophone and her keyboard and was done. She learned all the instruments she could at a young age. Since she was little she practiced every day each of them, and could probably get a scholarship if she wanted to.
It looked a lot different than her old room, but it felt like home, in a way. "Luci, could you look after Tony tonight? Lord McAshton invited us to a party tonight." Dottie explained. Luci smiled. "Of course Aunt Dottie."
With that Dottie left. Luci went out the balcony outside her room. "I think I will leave the windows open tonight." She said to herself.
Then she saw a large bat flying overhead. 'I didn't know there were bats here.' she thought to herself. The bat swerved and dove into Tony's room. She heard a scream.
"Damnit!" Luci exclaimed. "He's probably freaking out now." She began running down the hallway. "Lavinia? Tony?" she burst through the door. "What the hell?" she yelled. There was a young, pale boy clad in a Shakespearian style outfit, lying on the floor. And an older boy with spiky multicolored hair in a yellow and black striped vest with a grey jacket with buckles on it standing over by the window. He was kind of…hot.
"you two better have a good explanation for this." She said, crossing her arms. "I should be leaving." The young boy said. "yes, you should be leaving. Let me show you the door, and so should you." Luci said, directing the last part of what she said to the older boy.
The older boy stalked over to her. "No." he said, dangerously. "Yes." She insisted. "No." He said, again. "Why?" She sized him up. "Because I don't want to." he hissed. "I don't care what you want. Leave." She sneered. They were taken out from their argument by Tony's yelling. "But you cant even walk!" Tony exclaimed. "Who needs to walk when I can fly!"
The kid ran out the window. "Are you Fucking crazy! You will fall!" Luci tried to catch him, but couldn't. he jumped out the window and was suspended in the air for a few seconds, looking like he was trying to run through the air. Then, he fell.
"Where did that other guy go?" Vinny said. "You two go help the one that fell out the window. I'm going to find Mr. dark, pale, and angry." Luci ran out the door.
"lets go." Tony said. They two ran down the stairs and through the hallway and out the door. Soon they reached the boy, lying like he had been before on the ground.
"Are you okay?" Tony asked. "Do I look it?" the boy asked. "Do you know…where I can get a cow?" he asked. "like milk?" Tony asked.
"Tony go get your red wagon." Vinny said. Tony nodded and ran off. "so…how old are you?" she asked him. "Nine." He replied casually. "Really? What…sharp teeth you have…" The boy looked at her suspiciously. In no time Tony came back with his wagon.
Soon they reached the farm where Tony remembered seeing cows. "I think I'm going to hurl." Tony said. "Then go over by the wagon." Vinny suggested.
Tony thought Vinny would have been scared…although they could see the boy drinking from the cow…they could hear it. But Vinny was transfixed.
Vinny heard Tony scream. She felt someone take her hand. "Close your eyes!" the boy yelled. Soon, she felt herself hit a solid surface.
"You can open your eyes now." The two opened their eyes. They were on a blimp! "thanks dude, that truck was going to splatter me."
"You keep calling me dude, my names Rudolph." The vampire boy said. "Dude is slang. Like what you call friend."
Aside from their conversation Vinny was trembling, she was afraid of heights. She had to find something to hold onto. It just so happened that Rudolph was closest to her. Rudolph looked at her quizzically.
"Vinny, what are you doing?" Tony asked. "You know I am afraid of heights, Tony. I'm sorry Rudolph." Rudolph smiled. "Let's play!" Tony yelled. "Yes, we play." Rudolph responded in his British accent.
