I sat straight up in bed. My eyes snapping open memories flooding my senses. My first thought is this has to be dream. But it was too real to be a dream. But as I go over what was revealed to me there was no way that it was not real, not reality. Someone had put a spell on me, on me and Aidan. Yeah Aidan that was his name. He was a vampire and we had been close real close and someone went to a lot of trouble to make us both forget that. Whoever that someone or more then someone was they even sent me away all the way to Ireland to finish school.

It really didn't make sense yet but I had been flooded with so much information all at one time that I couldn't piece it all together just yet. First thing first though what the hell happened to break the
spell? It was then that I realized what had woken me up from the dream/broken spell my cell phone ringing loudly on my nightstand right next to my head. I grabbed for my phone knocking it under my bed. Figures I thought as I blindly reached under the bed for my phone. I tapped the screen and there were twenty texts and ten missed calls. Most of the texts were from my cousins and they all said basically the same thing: Grandpa is gone come home. Things were starting to make since now, grandpa put the spell on us. I was betrayed by my own family. Exiled by them sent across the ocean. I scrolled through all the texts and pulled up the one from my cousin Leah.

Did you know about the spell? I sent her.

What spell?

Aidan?

Aidan , the vamp who was Bishop's second Aidan?

Was?

Never mind but yeah that vamp I was with when I was in college in Boston just before I was shipped to Ireland to finish school.

Grandpa put that spell on you? I heard him and dad talking about it but I didn't think he would do it.

Well he did I lost ten years with him and with the family. Well that shit is over. I'm on my way back to Boston in the next hour or so. At least I'm in Ohio right now instead of Dublin.

You know Mother buried Aidan and broke all ties with the coven. There is some kind of virus and Mother and most of the Dutch are gone.

Awesome. I'm going to try and contact him then I'll be on my way to Boston. I will call you from the road you can fill me in on anything else then.

I sense something else you need to tell me but I need to try and reach him.

I closed my eyes and concentrated on Aidan. "Aidan Please tell me you know who I am." "De." "Thank the gods the spell broke for you too. Look I don't have a lot of time to explain I know mother buried you. I don't know much more but I'm going to find out. I will be there in in about twelve hours I think. I'm in Ohio right now." "Don't Deidre Mother will kill you." "You know what I said about not knowing everything that was going on well Mother is dead something is going on with the vamps some kind of virus. Not sure all the details but I know mother and most of the Dutch are dead. Don't worry about it just yet I will be there soon."

The drive from Ohio sucked. I spent most of it on the phone with Leah getting the low down on what had been going on with the vamps in the last few years. Leah and her husband Bobby were waiting for me near the grave were Mother had planted Aidan. It was just after sunset so we wouldn't fry his poor eyes when we brought him up from the ground "Can you stop throwing power around your frying the air around us." Ok that was new. I pulled my power back as we walked up to the grave.

Kneeling in a semi-circle around the foot of the grave with me in the middle Leah and Bobby put one hand each on my shoulders and I placed both hands on the ground and concentrated. The ground shook and the coffin burst from the ground. I guess I put a little too much power into it. "Wonder of there will be earthquake reports on the news tonight?" Leah said giving me a pointed look. Bobby picked up the crowbar he had brought with him and pried the lid off the coffin. "Wow I didn't know Grizzly Adams was a vampire." Leah said. Aiden's eyes snapped open and I shoved Leah out of the way just in time for him to grab me and sink his fangs into me. And here I thought getting blood into him was going to be a problem.

My new problem was how to get to a starving vampire to not drain me to the point of passing out. "Aidan let go." He growled and pulled me closer. I felt Leah and Bobby moving closer to me. "Don't I have this." "Don't make me use my power on you." I sent to him placing my hand on his chest I pushed heat into him. That seemed to snap him out of it. He let me go and I had to catch myself on the edge of the coffin "Out of the box Grizzly Adams." I said as I slowly slid down to sit in front of said box. Ever prepared Leah come and knelt in front of me and cleaned up the bite. "I guess with a four year old you would have those with you." She just smiled and reached up and healed my neck with a little bit of power since it wasn't really wasn't a big wound Aidan must have had some control. Aidan practically fell out of the coffin. "Leah you and Bobby can take off I can get Aidan home were cool. She gave me the are you sure look I didn't even bother responding to her unasked question and she and Bobby took off.

Aidan and I helped each other back to my car. "You look like shit." "Yeah well you look like an angle." "Aw so sweet even at deaths door, here call your friends let them know you are still alive well un-dead." I said and handed him my cell as I drove toward Boston.
