I was woken from my deep sleep by my pager going off. I looked at the caller id on the pager. It said it was captain calling, which was unusual because he should have known I would have been asleep. Most vampires including my brothers and sisters thought we couldn't sleep but all vampire agents knew we could. With all the hard work we did, we needed the sleep.

But the thing about vampire agents was that no other vampires knew we existed, even though we kept our world from being in jeopardy. I myself kept the agency secret from my two brothers and three sisters; I even kept it from my parents. This was actually for security because the agency already had enough enemies and if the entire vampire world knew about it we would have many more enemies.

I pondered over why captain might be calling me. Captain was in charge of our branch, we had branches all over the world and ours was the main one. I picked up my pager, which was a wrist watch with other gadgets on it the agency had issued it to me. They issued them to all the agents. I took the pager outside so my family wouldn't overhear the conversation and answered it.

"Hey captain," I said. "Oh hi Stephanie, I was afraid you'd be asleep and I wouldn't catch you," Captain replied. "Oh sorry," He said. "It's cool," I replied, "so what's the problem?" "Ah, well the Amazonian vampires are becoming out of control again." "Oh yeah, those guys are savage." "Yes well, we need your help to dispose of them." "Umm, why call me?" "Stephanie, you're the second best agent in the world. Plus you're one of the only two vampires in the world that can wield the elements; fire, earth, water and air with your hands." "So?" I asked. "Steph, are you coming or not?" I laughed into the phone "a chance to kill a bunch of savage vampires, yeah I'm coming." "I'll send a chopper over." "Tell the pilot to land about a kilometre west of my house," I said. "Gotcha, see ya soon," He said. "Bye."

I ended the call and scrawled a quick note to Luke telling him I was going on a mission and that if I wasn't back before the rest of the family got back to cover for me. Then I strapped my wristwatch on and grabbed my gadget boots, finally I grabbed my backpack. I sprinted eastwards and stopped a kilometre away from my house. While I waited for Chuck (the pilot) to come with the helicopter, I sat down and took in the scenery. I was surrounded by beautiful trees and bushes and all the flowers were in bloom my vampire senses enhanced the experience more than any human could imagine.

Soon enough I heard the roar of an agency helicopter I stood up and waved at Chuck. He saw me and brought the helicopter down to the ground. "Hey Chuck," I said loudly over the noise. "Hey Stephanie," He yelled back. As he yelled, he brought down a pole, from the roof, for me to hold onto so I wouldn't fall out of the helicopter. He ascended into the air and flew towards the horizon. Within minutes we were over international waters. Because we agents needed to get to places fast, we made helicopters that could fly extremely fast and could fly over states in minutes.

We landed in the Amazon ten minutes after our departure from America. I got out of the helicopter and saw that Captain and William (the best agent in the world,) had finished setting up a temporary HQ that would only be there until we left the Amazon. Captain was now telling the agents which quadrant they would be guarding. We used the quadrant system so wherever the enemy showed up there would be an agent there to dispose of them. Captain finished up whatever he was saying and the agents dispersed into the forest.

I walked over to Captain. "Hey Captain," I said. "Hello Stephanie, you'll be guarding quadrant G2," He replied. "Who with?" I asked "I put you with Timane," He said smiling. "Yes," I said "Thanks Captain!" "You're welcome," He replied.

I turned around and saw Timane sitting on a lounge chair. Timane was my best friend and she had been since my first day at the agency. We'd both been into all the same stuff. Designing clothes, listening to music and most of all keeping the vampire world from falling apart at the seams. I smiled at her. She smiled back, how I'd missed her; I hadn't seen her in about two weeks.

"Hey, I'd love to do all the usual hugging and stuff but I'm at bit busy saving the vampire world," She said. "So the usual?" I asked smiling. She laughed "The usual," She replied. We walked out onto the quad and began patrolling. The first of the vampires popped up within minutes. Timane and I disposed of them with ease.

It continued on that way for two hours. Except one of the vampires got me good and scratched me a couple of times I wore the marks from that attack as Timane and I walked back to the temporary HQ for a break. We didn't want to take a break but Captain ordered us in. On the walk back I asked Timane about the agency. "Well," she'd said "We're upgrading the chemical storage area." I was shocked, why hadn't Captain told me about this. She saw the expression on my face and said "He didn't tell you?" She was just as confused by this as I was. "No," I said. Confusion clouded both our expressions. "Well then," I said "We are going to find out why Captain is keeping this from me. Cause I'll tell ya one thing you aren't upgrading that storage space without me." "This is going to make him uncomfortable," She said. I smiled, she smiled. We did like captain but... oh yeah we loved making him uncomfortable, it could get pretty funny. We both smiled as we linked arms and walked back towards HQ.

When we arrived Captain was sitting down drinking coffee. "Enjoy your serenity wile you can," I whispered to Timane. She snickered. We approached Captain, he saw our approach and said "Hello girls did you enjoy that... I see you've been injured Stephanie." I shrugged. Captain sighed "Same old Stephanie doesn't give a damn about her own well being." "Hey, I take care of myself besides I was taking on five of them at once. We are on the quadrant that gets the most activity," I said. "Yes," he replied "I thought you would enjoy being assigned there." Timane and I both smiled, we both loved disposing of other vampires. Most vampires would think that was horrible. But then again most vampires had never encountered vampires as evil as the ones we fought. Once you have encountered them you really want to get rid of them.

"Captain, why didn't you tell me you were upgrading the chemical storage area," I demanded. He stayed silent. "Captain," I sighed. "Because I didn't want you getting hurt again," he said. Timane and I both sighed loudly. "Not this again," she said. "Exactly Timane, Captain my nicknames Hazchem for a reason, because when it comes to chemicals I'm an expert. So I've been in a few accidents," I said. "Try twenty-seven," he retorted. "Numbers, numbers," I said "the point is I know what I'm doing more than any other agent. I've got my own chemical research centre for crying out loud. I can help and you know it." He thought for a moment and then sighed. "Alright, you can help," he said "but, you have to be careful." "Yeah, yeah," I replied. He smiled as he shook his head "Same old Stephanie," He repeated.
