A/N: my favourite author is Darren Shan (no big guesses then) I've just finished hell's heroes. And I just keep thinking how similar the part of Dervish and Mr Creapsly are, their both there for Darren and Grubbs. Sorry for the spoiler that they both die (Mr Creapsly died in book nine of the saga and it was pretty obvious that Dervish didn't have long at the end of Dark calling). You know that really upset me!

Ode to a vampire and a disciple

You who provide safety and warmth

Who showed kindness

An ex vampire general

And a warily punk

Vampire and disciple

You provided comfort

With your warped sense of humour

Your high moral values

And high moral values

You fight when you need to

You face your foes with fury

You kill demons

You hunt vampaneze

You are the ones that provide stability

In their ever changing world

You snap the nightmares

You teach them their errors

You lose loves

The biker chick and the black swan

The queen of the bars

Dying for the fight

Your deaths bring pain

Killed by a craze lord

And a wayward demon

You fight till the end

Dervish Grady and Larten Creapsly

The Punk and the freak

The uncle and the mentor

The disciple and the vampire

Even in death may you be triumphant
