A/N

Kath here!

I'm going to tweak the ages a little bit.

Tony and Tessa (twin sis): 13

Rudolph (physical): 13

Anna (physical): 12

Gregory (physical): 15


Tony and I woke up, gasping at the same time. Our beds were in an angle, forming a triangle against the wall with a dresser in between the rather large gap as well as a chest. He poked his head out of his sheets.

"Tessa?"

"Vampires," I agreed. I lifted up my blanket as he crawled in.

"This is really weird. We're both having the same dreams," Tony said.

"Maybe it's the twin thing Mom talked about?" I suggested, yawning.

"Yeah...maybe," he replied, drifting off to sleep again.


Mom rushed for us to go to school. Tony and I sat in the back seat, barely paying attention to a word Mom is saying. I was lazily finding a butterfly clip for my unusually fire red hair. Mom told us to wave to Dad and Lord McAshton. I was too busy fixing my hair to look somewhat decent. Tony didn't wave to them at all. I was drifting off to sleep when Tony was yelling about being on the wrong side of the road.

"What the cheeseballs?!"

"Teresa Lorelei Thompson!"

"Sorry, Mom. What are we talking about?"

Mom sighed,"It'll get better, Tony, Tessa. You'll make some friends soon."


"'You'll make some friends soon?' Bull crap!" I exclaimed, holding an ice pack to Tony's head in the nurse's office.

"Ow! Tessa!"

"Sorry, Tony. Those McAshton twerps are a pain in the butt! Just because we're American," I shook my head. "How was Science?"

Science was the only class we didn't share. Unluckily for Tony but luckily for me, Thing 1 and Thing 2 were in Tony's class.

"I talked about the dream," he said shyly.

"Oh, Tony."

"And the McAshton twins told me to fly back to California," he said even more quietly.

"I swear if Dad's job wasn't at stake, I'd have kicked their butts a long time ago."


Mom and Dad left, having a talk with Tony. Tony was the twin who let his mouth run away before letting his brain think so our parents thought that he was the only one having nightmares. I sat down next to my bro.

"Hey, Tony."

"Hey, Tessie. Wanna play vampires?"

"As long as I'm the vampire queen."

"And I'm the vampire knight! Sworn to protect the queen!" He proclaimed, standing on his chair.

"Of course, Sir Tonius. I shall get your cloak as well as mine. Sharpen our fangs, brave knight. We may need them to fend off the pesky humans," I replied in an English accent, going through our closet.

"As you wish, Queen Teresina."

I found a black Dracula cape for Tony and a deep scarlet dress (A/N kind of like Mother Gothel dress but for a thirteen year old) for me. I only wore a tank top and shorts so I slipped it on with ease. I found a pair of black Mary Janes and a Aurora-like crown with a single red jewel in the middle.

"No fair! You got a better costume!"

"You can have bigger fangs, Tony."


I heard screeching outside. Curious, I went outside on our sort of balcony and made out a bat in the night.

"Hark! Sir Tonius, cease your feast. Our brethren has come. Pray he bears good news," I said in an accent again, opening the door just as the bat flew in.

My brother had ketchup on his face, and I giggled.

In my normal voice, I told him," Tony, you look-"

The bat flew into the fireplace which flashed in a bright light.
