Sally's Song
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in forever. Life's been crazy, I've been a little depressed, and I've been helping a friend do something. So, that's my bad but I think I'm back on track now. I don't have school Monday so I should be able to do some extra writing. This school years going by fast though and I'm actually liking this year which is a rarity.
Last chapter was the first chapter of Are You Afraid of the Dark! It was awesome in it's own little way lol. I've got some kinda idea what this chapters going to be like but at any moment it could completely change and knowing me it will change. But I hope you guys like it.
A/N-This one is named after "Sally's Song" from the Nightmare Before Christmas and I wanna name it after the version by Evanescence cause that's the best version to date.
Disclaimer-Don't own Step Up 2, if I did that'd probably be a bad thing.
Andie sat watching the television set with Moose, Missy, Shane and Miles. They always watched the news now, ever since the incident with Breca, they couldn't risk not hearing about her return. And the five of them knew that when she returned it would be all over the news, whether it be in the form of a dead body or in some great catastrophe. So far though, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
"Andie," Moose said suddenly.
Looking up, Andie caught sight of the shadow that streaked past the window. The vampires were on their feet in a second and each one growled threateningly.
"I come in peace!" A voice yelled. "I come in peace!"
Rolling her eyes, Andie let her face return to normal.
"What are you doing here Sand?" She asked.
The dreadlocked vampire climbed through the window and sat on the seal of it. When a vampire entered another vampires house and it wasn't a place they considered home, then they stayed as close as possible to the exit.
"We've got a problem." Sand said sadly.
"What happened?" Missy asked.
"We've gotta shut The Dragon down." Sand explained quietly.
"Why?" Andie demanded. 'What has happened?"
Sand scratched the back of his head, he looked at Andie for a moment before decided to answer.
"Javier Mendoza."
Closing her eyes, Andie plopped down to the seat she'd left earlier.
"Why am I starting to hate that name?" Shane muttered darkly.
Andie smiled at the young vampire. Her fangs still had not returned and it took more effort for her to feed but at least she was alive and her gums had finally healed completely. Miles predicted that her fangs would be back within the year.
"What does he have to do with The Dragon?" Miles asked.
"You guys remember Eva?" Sand asked.
"The girl with the blood red hair that was natural?" Moose asked.
Sand nodded.
"Mendoza was in the club last night--."
"How'd he find it?" Moose asked. "No human has ever found it before unless they were brought there by one of our kind."
"I have no idea." Sand replied. "But he was down there and we were all really cautious but Mendoza took a great liking to Eva. He spent most of the night talking to her."
"Okay." Andie said pressing for him to keep going.
"So when we all cleared out at sunrise, Eva left and she was supposed to meet me as soon as the sun set tonight to plan a party for my girls three hundredth birthday."
Andie glanced at the clock.
"It's nearly three." She said. "Why have you waited this long?"
"I've been looking for her." Sand replied. "I've looked everywhere, she's nowhere to be found and her roommate says that she didn't come home."
"Okay I still don't see why The Dragon has to close." Missy said.
"Because as soon as the police found out that a girl is missing after leaving an underground club, they want to shut us down and inspect us." Sand said. "If we're already closed when they get there, they'll leave us be."
"Hold on, how did the human police get into this?" Miles asked.
"Mendoza!" Sand exclaimed. "That bastard reported us, reported Eva missing then said that she was last seen leaving the club. And he's the one that kidnapped her I know so."
Andie groaned in frustration. If the human police were in on this then everything would get blown out of proportion and they would probably find Eva dead.
"Okay," Andie sighed in frustration. "Alright we'll see what we can do Sand."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Sand said handing her the keys to the front doors. "You can look around as much as you want."
Andie held the keys in her hands tightly.
"We'll start tomorrow night." Andie said.
Sand nodded and disappeared out the window.
Pocketing the keys, Andie sighed and leaned back against Moose's knee.
"Do you think it's true?" She whispered.
"He said that he'd start with people that we knew." Miles answered. "So I'm starting to believe that it's true."
Andie closed her eyes. She wouldn't let him hurt Chase, she'd kill the vampire slayer if she had to.
"When are you going to tell him?" Missy asked looking at Andie.
"I don't know." Andie replied. "I can't tell Chase until he's in absolute danger or else I'm scared he might become paranoid."
"Which would be really bad." Moose said and Andie nodded.
"Extremely bad." She said softly.
Andie sat up slightly when her phone began to ring in her pocket. Pulling it out, she frowned at the name before answering it.
"What's wrong?"
She heard a sigh on the other line and was starting to panic before he answered.
"I can't sleep."
Andie visibly relaxed and leaned back against Moose's leg. His fingers started to run through her long hair and Andie closed her eyes.
"What's wrong Boy Band?" She asked gently.
"I just can't sleep." Chase replied softly. "Tell me a story."
Andie couldn't help but laugh.
"You have no idea how young you really sound right now love," She paused. "Now I really feel like a cradle robber."
She heard Chase snort.
"I want to hear about something that you did in the past." He said. "One of your adventures."
Andie bit her lip as she thought for a minute.
"Okay so back when Moose and I were first turned, in the first one hundred years we ran across this council of vampires."
"A full council?" Chase asked.
"Yep a full one." Andie replied. "They were crazy people."
"What makes you say that?" Chase questioned.
"Cause they thought that Moose was their long lost god." Andie answered grinning. "Or something."
"They what?" Chase asked laughing.
Smiling back at her twin who had clipped her on the back of the head, Andie closed her eyes as she launched into her story.
The twins stood in front of a council of about ten elder vampires. Each one dressed in a different cloak with the hood of the cloak pulled down over their faces. Their blood red eyes glowing out of the darkness at the siblings. The closest one to them, stood from his seat and muttered something to the human servant next to him. That human nodded and sprinted from the room,
"You both are greatly welcomed into our palace." The purple cloaked vampire said in a croaky voice.
"We are going to celebrate your coming to us." The red cloaked one said.
"But first we must ask our priest if it is really true." The green one said.
The twins frowned at each other.
"If what is true?" They both asked.
Before anyone of the cloaked vampires could answer, the doors in which the human had just left from, banged open and a very young arrogant looking vampire stepped through. He was dressed in a crisp black suit and his long pitch black, waist length hair flowed freely behind him.
"Welcome, twins of the West." He said in a deep voice. "We are delighted to have you with us."
"Do you not see what we see?" The green asked, bowing to the man in black.
"Oh no I see it." He replied. "But I'm sure he prefers to be treated as an equal instead of someone superior, why else would he have this woman standing side by side with him?"
"Because she's my sister."
Ignoring him, the young vampire came and bowed before the twins.
"What names shall we call you?" He asked.
"I'm Robert and this is my sister Andrea." Robert replied running his fingers through his curly hair.
"Robert and Andrea." The vampire repeated. "And tell us oh great ones, why have you chosen to appear now?"
Both Andrea and Robert looked at each other in confusion.
"Sorry?" Andrea said weakly.
"Why not in a hundred years or forty ago?" He asked. "Why now, at this point in time?"
"I have no idea." Robert replied.
"Are you hungry?" The purple cloaked vampire asked. "You must be tired, it is a long journey from hell back to earth."
Andrea's eyebrows shot up.
"What?" She asked. "We came from our home, we heard about a council of vampires and just wanted to see if we could find it."
"Silence!"
It happened so fast that neither Andrea or Robert were quite sure what had happened. The vampire dressed in the suit stuck out his arm, his hand hit Andrea's cheek and the ring of the sound last longer than it took for him to pull his hand back and resume his former position.
"Do not speak unless you are spoken to."
Andrea stayed with her head turned for a moment, a form of shock setting into her. Had he really just hit her?
"You hit my sister." Robert said in some sort of shock.
"My apologies sir." The young vampire said. "But she is a woman and undead or not, she would not be permitted to speak unless she was spoken to."
"You hit my sister." Robert repeated.
Andrea heard Robert growl in anger and the young vampire hastily backed away.
"Let us make it up to you." The yellow cloaked vampire said speaking for the first time.
"We have your rooms ready." Purple said. "With food and a bed."
Robert took Andrea's hand in his but two human servants came over to them, wanting to lead them in different directions.
Andrea and Robert finally agreed to go their separate ways. Neither of them liked it but they had to admit that they were tired and hungry.
Andrea followed the human to her room quietly, she thanked the girl as well when she opened the door for her and led her inside. The human squeaked a response before scurrying out of the room. The door shut behind her and Andrea suddenly tensed.
"I don't mean to startle you miss."
Turning, Andrea raised an eyebrow at the man who was sitting on her bed.
"Who are you?" She asked.
He held out his arms and smiled meekly.
"Your dinner."
Andrea didn't think she could close her mouth if she tried. Did they really expect her to drink blood from this human and she had a strange feeling that he meant more than just blood.
"And if I said that I don't need you?" She asked.
The guy suddenly looked extremely nervous and he glanced at the door.
"Please, it's okay I really don't mind." He looked at the door again. "I'll be in serious trouble if we don't."
Andrea frowned and before she could answer her door banged open and Robert came flying through with a girl servant in his arms.
"We have got to get them out of here." He said.
Andrea frowned, something really wasn't right.
"How though?" She asked as her servant climbed out of the bed and threw on a shirt.
"Is there anyway to sneak out? He asked the girl in his arms.
She shook her head frantically.
Andrea looked at the guy who was now standing at her side.
"She's right, there's no way out." He said sadly.
"So we'll make our own way out." Robert replied. "Andrea take her."
He passed tiny girl to Andrea and she frowned.
"What's wrong with her?" She asked looking the girl over.
"She's not eaten in a few days." Robert replied. "She's too weak to walk."
Andrea nodded and held the girl tighter. She watched as her brother went over to the closest wall and looked at it for a moment.
"Don't I have to find the weakest brick or something like that?" He asked.
Andrea nodded.
"Knock of them until you find one that moves when you knock on it." She explained. "And that's the one you hit."
Andrea and the two servants watched as Robert sped along the wall, hitting each brick until he finally found one that moved under his touch.
"Now back up and hit it." Andrea said.
The boom that the falling and breaking bricks made was enough to hurt anyone's ears and Andrea knew that they didn't have long before the vampires would be coming to see what was going on.
Robert took the girl back from Andrea and flew up into the sky. Andrea picked up the guy despite his protests and just as they got really high up into the sky, the two vampires turned around to see the council of vampires pleading with them to come back. Well for Robert to come back.
As she started to laugh, Robert shot her a glare.
"Come on here." He growled. "Let's get them somewhere safe."
Andrea continued to giggle as they soared higher and just when she had started to calm down, Robert glared at her threateningly and stated.
"We are never going to speak of this again."
Andie stopped her story when Moose growled at her, his face would have probably been red if he was human. She grinned back at him cheekily and took a moment to listen on the other line. She could hear Chase snoring lightly and she smiled.
"Goodnight Chase." She murmured before hanging up.
Sitting up, Andie could feel the sun. She sighed slightly as everyone began to move around, locking down the windows and baring the doors. She decided that tonight she would actually try and sleep.
