Of Murdered Alarm Clocks and Dracula Hulk-ish Vampires…

"What I hoped would be impossible!" The song blared loudly in my ear causing me to jump up in surprise. I reached over blindly and slammed my hand down on the snooze button. Sweet silence surrounded me. I sighed and slowly drifted back to sleep. Within moments though, the silence was ruined with that annoyingly whiny song. Again, I slammed the snooze button down and fell into a slumber. Moments later, it blared again. I grabbed the alarm clock in a fit of rage and flung it against the wall. It smashed into multiple pieces.

"AHH! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" Mikey exclaimed from next door. Crap, I forgot he was right there… Seconds later he came barreling through my door, Austin following. Mike held a suck duster in front of him kind of like a sword, while Austin held a broom high above his heard ready to strike whatever enemy had invaded our house.

"Parker… Why is your alarm clock in a million little pieces on the floor?" Austin asked. Mikey looked from me to Austin to the smashed alarm clock and back to me.

"Umm… It flew from my bed side table into the wall?" I tried lamely.

"Oh thank God! I thought we were gonna have to beat some ass." Mikey sighed, leaning against the doorframe. I laughed.

"You two couldn't beat ass if your lives depended on it." the 2 glared at me.

"Well then… I guess we'll leave!" They exclaimed in unison.

"YAY! But I have one question though." I called. They turned back to face me.

"You thought someone broke into our house and tried to attack me… and for protection, you brought a suck duster and a broom?" I asked, the two looked down at the items in question.

"It's all we had." they answered. Okay, that's kinda weird...

"Stop that! It's creepy." I shuddered.

"Anything for you." they answered again, I shot them a glare before climbing out of bed. They laughed and walked out. I went to my closet and began searching for an outfit. I grabbed a pair of skinny jeans, a white tank top, and my black UGG boots then a grey Abercrombie sweater. I quickly dressed and did my hair and make-up. After I was finished, I went downstairs where I nearly ran into my father who was rushing around like a chicken with his head cut off.

"Calm it down there Da'." I joked with him, using a fake Scottish accent. The look he gave me after that. Whew… if looks could kill. I gave him an apologetic look and bolted from the room. I sped into the kitchen only to have to do a limbo type thing under a plate of waffles in my mothers arms.

"Sorry!" I called. I settled myself at the table and looked at Mikey and Austin, they looked back at me curiously.

"You two could use those terrible weapons for something…" I said, finally.

"What's that?" Austin asked.

"Picking up the shattered alarm clock." I replied brightly.

"Shattered alarm clock?" Mom asked, oh no… She heard me. I thought she was still in the kitchen.

"Oh yeah! Aunt Dottie, Parker had a fight with her alarm clock this morning… It's now resting in pieces on her floor." Mikey exclaimed. My Mom gave me a shocked look.

"I didn't mean to!" I exclaimed, putting my hands up in the air as if I was being arrested.

"Just clean it up. I'll get you another one today when I go to the store, speaking of which, any requests for food. Write them down on this pad." She said, she held up a pad of paper, the top sheet filled with a lot of items already. Mikey, Austin and I reached for it instantly and scanned it then added what we wanted. After us, Tony did so and we finished eating. We then went to school. After school, we came home to find out Tony had gotten into a fight with the McAshton boys.

"Where is he?" I asked.

"Out golfing with your Dad." Mom replied. I sighed and went up to my room, the boys following me. Mikey, Austin and I sat in my room all of our homework spread out around us. We all sat at the foot of my king sized bed, leaning against it.

"I hate Scotland. End of story." Austin stated, reaching for a can of unopened Mountain Dew.

"I agree." I said, I reached for my remote and flipped on the TV.

"Wanna watch a movie?" I asked them. They nodded. I got up and grabbed my DVD case, I flipped through it and grabbed the Hangover. I popped it in the player and took my seat again. While the movie played, we attempted our homework again… We worked well into the night. Austin had fallen asleep, and was drooling on his Math homework, Mikey was going through my notebook of dreams and I was on my laptop when Tony came bursting through the door.

"He's not here." Tony sniffed quietly, I walked over to my little brother and pulled him into a hug.

"He probably just needed to feed again or something Tony. Don't worry." I soothed. He shrugged and pulled away,

"I'm just going to draw for a little bit, okay?" He asked. I looked at him sadly before nodding, he walked out and returned to my seat.

"GUYS! Come here!" He shouted. Austin jerked awake as Mike and I jumped up and raced out the room. Austin followed us, we ran into Tony's room and found Rudolph.

"Hi." He waved simply, his expression was one of annoyance but slight amusement.

"Um… Who's he?" Austin asked. Oh, yeah… we have to explain all of this to him…

"Oh! A vampire, his name is Rudolph. He's one of the vampires Tony and I dreamt about." I replied casually.

"Huh… Very Twilight Zone-ish…" He muttered disbelievingly.

"Wait until you hear this. Now Tony where have you seen this?" Rudolph said, referring to my brother's drawing.

"I told you, I'll only tell you if you take me flying again." Tony replied. Little boy knows how to stick to his word.. Cool.

"Hey! That looks just like the amulet in my dreams!" I exclaimed, Rudolph looked at me.

"You've seen it too?" He asked. I nodded, Mikey tossed him my open notebook and Rudolph read it over.

"Who's the 'very, very attractive' boy?" He asked me curiously. I instantly snatched the book away.

"No one!" I shouted. Mikey chuckled.

"There's only one person it could be!" He exclaimed. I instantly clamped my hand over his mouth. Rudolph gazed at us curiously.

"Ignore him. He's an idiot. We're still trying to find a cure." I smiled. Rudolph chuckled.

"Well… I got the information I needed. I suppose I could take you flying." He muttered thoughtfully.

"All right!" Tony cheered. I took my hand off Mikey's mouth seeing as how he decided to lick it like a dog. I was wiping it on Austin's shirt, but he was half asleep and didn't notcie.

"I kinda wanna go flying too." Mikey said. Rudolph gave us a look.

"Fine. Come on." He sighed. Austin chose to stay at home. We flew to the graveyard where Rudolph and his family stayed. We were standing there, doing absolutely nothing when very large bats came into view.

"My family!" Rudolph gasped, he shoved us behind a rock and we watched as four large bats came into view and two of them transformed into a man and a woman wearing old Victorian clothing.

"Mamma, Papa!" Rudolph cried as he rushed towards his parents. The woman had reddish-blond hair in two bun type things on the sides of her head, but her face showed nothing but kindness.

"Rudolph! Thank the stars you're safe!" the woman sighed as she embraced her son. The man beside her was very tall and had black hair with a few grey streaks here and there. He reminded me of Dracula. The man placed his hand on Rudolph's shoulder,

"My son, you must never stray so far away again" he said.

"I was only taking the road less traveled" Rudolph said, sounding wiser beyond his years, though I wasn't too surprised about that.

"And you got lost, my poor little Rudolph." the woman said, pinching Rudolph's cheek.

"Yoo hoo!" a delicate voice filled the air. I turned to see a small girl sitting on a tomb with a fan, she was in a dress with very long blonde hair, Rudolph turned to look at her too.

"Anna!" Rudolph said and as he walked over to the girl.

"Brother, darling!" Anna said as she embraced her brother.

"You're the nervy one, sneaking off like some day walker." She joked and Drac (short for Dracula.)scowled at the words day walker.

"I wish…" Rudolph said then he turned to his father.

"So father, did you find the stone?" he asked.

"No, but I'm sure we're on the right track." Drac answered.

"Because I-" Rudolph attempted to say, but was interrupted.

"We still have forty-eight hours." Drac stated again.

"But you see that's-" Again, poor Rudolph was interrupted.

"I will not fail you!" Drac exclaimed. I flinched. I sure as heck was happy he wasn't my father. I took notice that only three of the four bats had transformed.

"Hey, wasn't there fou-" I started to ask Mikey but was cut off by the woman crying out:

"GREGORY!"

Tony, Mikey, and I turned slowly to see a teenage vampire, about my age, maybe older. He snarled at us. My eyes grew wide as Tony and Mikey ran.

"PARKER! RUN!" Mikey hissed, dragging me along. I didn't even notice I hadn't moved at all. I was mesmerized by the vampire boy. Ugh. Never thought I'd say that.

"No, Gregory! They're my friends" Rudolph shouted. He rushed at his older brother. Gregory ignored him and ran after me. I ran. This went on for about five minutes before, of him chasing me across various parts of the graveyard, then Drac bellowed:

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" We stopped running and I looked at my family and Rudolph.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP HIM?" I rasped out, reaching for my inhaler, Mikey busted out laughing.

"You didn't tell us to." Tony answered with a shrug, I glared at him.

"MORTALS!" Drac shouted angrily. Tony instantly gripped onto Rudolph's arm. Ha! Not so smartass-ish now are ya?

"I-I'm Rudolph's friend and he gave me a bite proof guarantee." Tony squeaked out feebly.

"Me too!" Mikey piped up. Wow. I feel very unprotected now. He stepped up to my brother and placed to fingers under his chin and lifted him off the ground.

"I'm his sister.. If that helps me.." I stated, pointing to Tony. It was lame, I know. But what was I gonna think of? This guy was like Vampire Hulk!

"You'll never be anything to my son. Victim, a slave, dinner perhaps but you can never be his friend." Drac spat venomously, ignoring us older kids completely. Well, how rude!

"They like vampires and Tony and Parker dream about us." Rudolph said pointing to me and Tony while trying to defend us the best he could

"Am I in your dreams, mortal?" The little girl asked, Anna I believe her name was, she gave him a flirty look. Oh, that's a little weird…

"And they know about the amulet!" Rudolph continued, ignoring his sister.

"Ah! So they are spies! Rookery's knaves!" Drac declared as if he was a genius. Gregory snarled at me, punching his fist into his open palm. I glared back. I definitely wasn't in the mood for this. Or him. He chased me around a graveyard for God's sake!

"We don't even know a Rookery." I protested. I went ignored by everyone. Maybe it's my height...

"Darling, they don't look like spies… and if they were, even Rudolph couldn't make up such a story. Could you sweetheart?" His wife said softly, walking up to her husband, she looked down at her son. Rudolph put on his most innocent smile and shook his head and the woman continued:

"Mortal or not, he's just a boy. But if you insist on eating him then go ahead." I gulped. If my brother was eaten, what was I gonna tell my parents? They would kill me, then adopt Mikey and Austin as their replacement children...

"I never said I would… It's impossible…" Drac said quickly, he looked down at Tony.

"Leave I say." He ordered. The authority in his voice shook me to the core.

"But Rudolph-" Tony tried to object but Drac cut him off. Again, how freaking rude!

"Should never have befriended you. Leave I say!" he hissed at Tony, who then ran screaming from the graveyard, Mikey after him. They left me. Wow.

"GREAT! FREAKING GREAT!" I shouted at no one in particular. This earned me weird looks from the entire clan. I ignored them and stormed off. I found the boys not too far from the cemetery.

"Tony! Let's just go home! I don't wanna get eaten by the scary vampire or his pit bull of a son!" Mikey was saying when I walked up.

"You two are so lucky I can't murder you! Ya know what, Mikey, I should feed you too the vampire pit bull!" I shouted at them, beyond aggravated.

"AHH! PLEASE DON'T I'M SO YOUNG! THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS I HAVE YET TO DO! Plus, I'm cute! TOO CUTE TO DIE!" Mikey yelled, falling to his knees and clasping his hands in a begging manner. I just rolled my eyes, all of a sudden a truck raced towards us, we all froze and watched. This guy must be Rookery….

There you have it! Chapter two! Again, sorry if it's terrible. And for the iCarly reference, but I couldn't resist. I don't own iCarly. Or Little Vampire. Thanks for the reviews(:

Much love,
