Chapter 2

I woke up the next morning. I pounded on my alarm again almost breaking it and looked out the window. It was pretty much cloudy, like every day in Whitechapel it was pretty much cloudy. I got out of bed and went downstairs in my pajamas. Jacob was down there eating cheerios. I went into the kitchen and decided to have toast since Jacob contaminated the cheerios. Jacob and I don't really have the normal brotherly love relationship, I have to admit it, I hated him ever since the day he was born. My life was so perfect, I was an only child for two years of my life. My parents always paid attention to me, but then they ruined by bringing a little demon called Jacob into the world.

I took the toast out of the toaster and sat down at the kitchen table across from Jacob. Jacob was quietly eating his cheerios and I was quietly munching on my toast.

"Dad asked me to tell you something this morning," said Jacob.

"What is it?" I said a little annoyed.

Jacob got up from the chair and went to the front of the house and got something from there. He than came back a few seconds later with a white sealed envelope.

"What is that?" I said.

"It's an envelope, loser, open it up."

I sighed, I wanted to call Jacob something that wouldn't be accepted in most countries. I opened up the envelope and for some reason it was for the company my dad worked for and it was addressed to me. I took out the slip of paper and read it. For some reason I was invited to the new office building grand opening, they redid the old office and refurbished it. It looked all new and had new stuff. I sighed and put the paper back into the envelope and continued eating my toast.

I kept on eating for a few minutes until I heard this giant thud on the top of the house. I jumped when I heard it.

"Jacob, stay here," I said.

"I want to see!" shouted Jacob.

"No, just stay here!"

"I want to see it though!"

That got me real angry, my vampire urges were too powerful. My eyes turned yellow and I retracted my fangs and hissed. Jacob gasped and stayed glued to his seat.

"I wanted to stay here anyway," he said.

I nodded my head. For some odd reason I decided to take the envelope with me. I got to the front of the house and went outside putting on my spring jacket. I tried to look at the roof of my house but I couldn't see anyone.

"Who's on my roof?" I shouted.

No one answered. I knew I was taking a big risk here but I decided to. I slowly relaxed my body and gently lifted myself off the ground. I was flying. I flew up to see the roof of my house and it turns out Ethan, Benny, and Rory were on it.

"That is the last time I'm getting a ride from you!" shouted Benny.

"Hey, but that bird was there mocking me!" said Rory.

"I nearly fell thirty feet out of the sky!" said Ethan.

I flew in on them in the middle of their argument.

"What are you guys up to?" I said.

"Cody, we need your help," said Ethan.

"Why do you need my help?"

"Mister Vampire Ninja thought that he could help us with our science project by taking us up in the air and researching the clouds."

"Still, why do you need my help?"

"I thought that maybe you could help with our project, it's due tomorrow."

"Why wait until the last minute?"

"Because we can't fly."

I sighed and took their instruction sheet. I'm not in Ethan and Benny's science class so I have no idea what they're looking for. I took off into the sky until the point of where I could reach the clouds. It was a pretty cloudy day so I wasn't afraid of any human finding me. I got up and looked at the piece of paper. I couldn't understand any of the questions the paper offered. I sighed and took out my phone and called Ethan. He picked up saying that he couldn't see me.

"I don't understand any of these questions," I said.

"The first question says that you have to name the characteristics of the cloud."

I sighed again. How could I name characteristics of a cloud? All I can describe them as is large and poofy. I tried to make the best characteristics as possible.

"What's next?" I said.

"The next part is-"

Ethan's voice stopped when my phone slipped out of my hand and fell down plummeting to Earth. My parents are so going to kill me for this. What would I tell them? Oh, I secretly admit that I'm a vampire and I was helping Ethan and Benny with their cloud science project and when I flew up into the air my phone fell out of my hands!

"Oh darn it!" I muttered.

I really hope Benny knows a phone conjuring spell. If he doesn't I'll ask Mrs. Weir who's Benny's grandma. She pretty much knows every spell in the Spellmaster book. I flew down and saw that my phone shattered into a billion pieces. I groaned at the sight.

"Sorry, I can't help you with my project, my phone is broken," I said.

"Thanks for helping anyways, Cody," said Ethan.

"Hey, Benny, do you know any repair spells or phone conjuring spells?"

"Nope, sorry, I'm afraid not," said Benny.

I knew that my parents would kill me.

"But I'll look for a spell, tonight," said Benny.

That made me sigh with relief.
