Chapter 3: Meeting the family
The next morning things got worse at school. I was walking back to my locker after lunch when James came up behind me, and slapped my ass. I glared at him as he walked away with his friends laughing. Than after I got my things I was on my way to Math when Kayla grabbed my bag, and made me slam against a locker. I was about to get her back when the teacher told me to hurry into the classroom before I got sent to the office for being late to class. The rest of the day continued with James making more perverted comments, and his "girlfriend" making comments about me being a supposed whore. I really hated it here I had no friends. The only people I even talk to in Scotland are my parents and Tony.
Anyways when I got home from school mom was really mad for some reason. I sat down at the kitchen table, and watched her angrily throw things into a pot on the stove to make soup
"Mom? What's wrong?"I asked putting my head on my hand.
"Nothing sweetie, it's just your brother got into a fist fight with your dads boss's grandchildren."I wasn't really surprised. Tony had told me about those kids picking on him for no reason.
"Did he win?"I asked like it was no big deal.
Mom looked at me in surprise, "Hayley Marie Thompson!"
"What? I'm just wondering."She sighed and frowned at me as she stirred the soup.
"No he didn't, he has a bloody nose and a really bad headache."After that it was silent. I grabbed my bag and headed upstairs. I went to my room and threw my bag next to my bed, and headed to Tonys room. When I got there he was laying down with his eyes closed. I sighed figuring he was asleep, and went back to my room. I started doing my homework until dinner was ready. I couldn't concentrate on my homework though.. I kept thinking about Rudolphs brother, the one from my dream. I blushed as I thought about the way he held me. It was like he was really concerned about my well being. Like he loved me..
When dinner was ready I went downstairs, and noticed Tony looked a little sad. I nudged him with my elbow but he didn't respond. I shrugged to myself, and continued eating my dinner. But afterwards I followed him to his room, and sat down next to him on his bed.
"What's wrong kiddo? I'd thought you'd be excited right now you get to play with Rudo-."I stopped talking before I could say his name. Tony looked down when I started mentioning him.
"Hey what's wrong?"I asked putting my arm around his shoulders.
"Rudolph's gone."I nodded understanding why he was sad. I hugged him, and let him lay his head on my shoulder.
"Well you know he does have a family maybe he wanted to tell them he was okay."Tony nodded and wiped a tear that had fallen from his face. I got up after about ten minutes and went back to my room to get ready for bed.
When I got there I went into my closet to look for some pajamas. I picked out a dark brown Abercrombie & Fich t-shirt, dark brown, white and grey plaid boxer/shorts, and I also had black ankle length socks. After I got dressed I put my hair up in a loose messy bun. I walked over to my bathroom and brushed my hair and washed my face. When I was done I turned off all the lights in the bathroom and bedroom. I walked over to my bed and laid down. Before pulling the blanket over me, I turned on my iHome turning it onto my playlist for bed time. I smiled and put my head down on my pillow, finally going to sleep.
Later I was awoken from a knocking sound at my window. I groaned and opened my eyes a little bit, I was about to go back to sleep but heard the knocking again. I rubbed my eyes and looked over at my balcony where the knocking was coming from. I was surprised to see Rudolph standing there. I quickly got up and walked over to the window, opening it.
"Hello Hayley, I'm sorry I thought this was Tony's room." I nodded and told him to come in anyway. I shut the window after he came in and looked at him crossing my arms over my chest.
"You know you made my little brother cry."I said slightly angry.
"I'm sorry, but I needed to find my family."I nodded my head.
"Why are you here anyways?"I asked.
"I need to ask Tony about one of his drawings."I thought about it for a minute, before finally realized what he meant.
"Oh the pictures of the amulet?"I asked him, he nodded eagerly.
"Yes I and my family desperately need it."I took his hand and quietly walked him over to Tony's room. When we got there I shut the door behind us.
"Tony?"Rudolph asked lightly shaking him awake. Tony woke up, his eyes widening when he saw Rudolph.
"Rudolph can we go flying again?"Was the first thing he asked.
"No it's too dangerous. I only came because of.. this."He said picking up Tonys picture of the amulet.
"That drawing? You can have it."He said like it was nothing.
"No, where have you seen it before?"He asked now looking at both of us.
"It was in our-."I was cut off by Tony.
"I'll only tell you if you take me flying again."I rolled my eyes at him and he just stuck out his tongue.
"Tony please this is very important, please!"Rudolph pleaded with him.
"Take me flying and I'll tell you."Oh my little brother was a quiet the little sneak, something he had gotten from me.
"Sorry Rudy but looks like the little punk wont spill until you take him flying."Rudolph sighed but smiled at Tony.
"Fine we'll fly."Tony got up from his bed and pulled on his jeans.
"Would you like to come Hayley?"Rudolph asked politely.
"Yeah let me go get my shoes."He nodded and I ran quietly back to my room. I grabbed my converse and went back to my brothers room. When I was in the room Rudolph held out his hand to me and Tony. We took and soon we were in the sky. Tony was yelling happily, and Rudolph smiled at my brother.
"We live down there."Rudolph pointed towards a cemetery that looked hundred of years old with a church that was falling apart.
"Cool a cemetery!" My weird little brother commented.
"Adorable."The boys gave me a weird look but I only shrugged. Rudolph landed us lightly on the ground.
"Now where exactly did you see the amulet?"Rudolph asked us as we sat down on some random crumbling stones.
"We had a dream about it, "Tony replied, "We've never seen the real thing it was just in our dreams."
"Does it mean something?"I asked the young vampire boy.
"Cant say."Rudolph stated, "It's supposed to be a secret."
"Who are we even gonna tell, you're basically our only friend." I replied.
"And who would even believe us?"Tony asked sadly.
"What's the comet that we both have seen in our dreams. It's almost touching the moon and a red light shoots out into the stone." Rudolph sighed,
"Alright. It is the comet Attamon. It is a comet of the lost souls. It could end this curse on all us vampires." He said.
"What curse?"Tony asked, I slapped my hand to my forehead.
"The curse of being a vampire idiot!" Tony glared at me.
"I'm not an idiot. You are."I rolled my eyes and Rudolph continued.
"It is the curse of being a vampire. It is a piece of the comet that fell to Earth, a great magician made it into an amulet of complete power, but we lost it, 300 years ago to the sea."Rudolph stated sadly.
"We saw it!"Tony yelled out.
"My uncle Von tried to catch it and we have never seen him since, and from that night to this, our wandering has never ended."I put my hand on his arm in comfort; he gave me a sad smile.
"Your uncle. Does he have shoulder length blonde hair?"I asked.
"Yes that's him alright."Rudolph said.
"We'll help you find the stone that must be what our dreams really mean are."Tony said putting a hand on Rudolph's shoulder.
"Yes."Rudolph replied putting his hand on mine and Tonys shoulders.
"You are both to join our quest, we are truly brothers and brother and sister."He said adding the last part for me. We all smiled at each other until we heard a very loud squeal. We looked up at the sky and saw four large bats flying down towards the cemetery.
"Hide! That's my parents and siblings."Rudolph said.
"But we're brothers."Tony said in protest. I sighed and grabbed his arm pulling him over to a tombstone where we hid behind it.
"Yes, but they don't know that. Now hide both of you please!"I hugged Tony to myself as we hid from Rudolph's family. We watched from behind the tombstone as two large bats turned into people! They landed down softly and Rudolph smiled at them.
"Mama! Papa!"These were Rudolph's parents they looked the same as they did in mine and probably Tonys dreams too. Rudolph's mother had red curly hair that was pulled back in buns. She was wearing a dark green dress and his father was the same too. He had some black outfit thing with the color sticking up a lot and his black grayish hair was sleeked back. Both were pale.
"Rudolph!" His mothers dreamy voice called out, "Thank the stars your alright." Rudolph walked over to them, and his mother hugged him. His father put his hand on his arm and looked down at him.
"My son you must not stray so far away."His father said in a serious tone.
"We were afraid that—" Rudolph cut his mother off.
"I was only taking the road less traveled."His mother smiled, and pinched his cheek.
"And you got lost."She replied in a baby voice like all mothers do.
I looked up at the sky and saw another bat getting ready to land down. It finally did and landed on a crumbling tombstone. It was his little sister the one that was holding onto my arm. She had on an old pink dress that looked like what a princess would wear. Her hair was still long, blonde and beautiful. She sat down and looked at her brother.
"Yoohoo!"She called out to him, making him turn to face her.
"Anna."He walked over to where she was, and hugged her.
"Brother darling."She stated happily. Man these vampires really were from the 1700's.
"You're the nervy one sneaking off like some day walker."She said scolding him playfully.
"I wish."Rudolph said they both smiled at each other, and he turned back around to face his father.
"So father have you found the stone?"He asked him.
"No, but I'm sure we're on the right path."His dad said with determination.
"Because-."Rudolph started but was cut off by his father.
"We still have 48 hours"
"But you see-."
"I will not fail you!" He said putting a hand on Rudolph's shoulder. His mother looked over towards where we were confused.
"Gregory?"Rudolph's mother called out. I looked at her confused, but than heard a hiss from behind us. I and Tony turned around and saw the boy from my dreams. I blushed as I looked at him.
He wasn't wearing the clothes he had on in my dreams, he was now wearing a yellow almost green and black stripped shirt, dark pants that looked almost like skinny jeans and a black leather trench coat with black combat boots. The only thing that was the same on him was his hair, it was still spiked and multicolored. He hissed again and Tony let out a gasp and started freaking out. He ran out from behind the tombstone. I was frozen where I was still blushing. I snapped back into reality and glared at the boy who was still hissing at my brother, and crouched down like he was going to attack him.
"Hey you! Don't even try doing anything to my little brother." The boy turned around, and looked at me. He glared at me, and started hissing at me now.
"Oh please you aren't even scary, go get a life." And with that I turned around. I guess he was going after me because Rudolph came over and pushed him back.
"No Gregory they're my friends."He said struggling to keep his brother back. I went over to Tony and put my arm around him.
"A mortal?"Rudolph's dad said rushing up next to us, and putting his face in ours. I backed us both up and just looked at him. Tony broke away from my grip and clutched onto Rudolph, he was shaking with fear.
"I'm Rudolphs friend! And he gave me a bite-proof guarantee." My hand slapped my forehead and I shook my head.
"Dude that's only for Rudolph not them."I said pointing at the vmpire family. Ruldophs father walked up to Tony and put two fingers under his chin and lifted him a little off the ground. Before I could at least attempt to stop him someone pinned me against a tombstone. I looked at the person and saw Gregory smiling evily at me. If someone were to just come walking in on this scene they would think that what was going on was extremely wrong. I rolled my eyes at him and stuck my tongue out at him.
"You can be anything to my son. Victimes,slaves maybe dinner perhaps. But you could never be his friends."He said looking at Tony than at me.
"But they both like vampires, and they dream about us too!"Rudolph said trying to reason with his father.
"Am I in your dreams mortal?"Anna asked Tony fanning herself with a yellow fan. That's just gross.
"And they know about the amulet!"Rudolph added in.
"Then they're spies, Rookery's knaves!"Gregory chuckled darkly still looking down at me. He looked kind of hungry, I gulped a little bit.
"We aren't spies!" I yelled.
"We have dreams about vampires, the amulet and the comet that's it. We don't even know Rookery, and he doesn't know us. He thinks my little brothers a vampire from pete's sake!" I said.
"Darling do they don't look like spies." The mom said in her dreamy voice taking her husbands hand.
"And besides do you think Rudolph could make up such a story. Now could you sweetheart?"She asked Rudolph while she kissed her husbands hand.
Rudolph tried to look like an innocent little five year and shook his head no.
"Mortals or not they are just children, but if you insist on eating them go ahead."She said probably knowing he wouldn't.
"I never said I would."He replied glaring at us.
"It's impossible leave I say!" He yelled at us.
"But Rudolph-"Tony said sadly looking at his friend.
"Should have never befriended you now leave!" Before Tony could say anything Rudolph's dad moved forward like he was going to bite him. Tony yelled and ran out of the cemetery. I sighed and tried to get out of Gregory's grip but he wouldn't let me go.
"Let me go right now!" I yelled at him.
"I don't think so, maybe I'll keep you as a snack."He said smirking at me. His accent is so cute I thought to myself. I shook my head of those thoughts and glared at him. I looked down and smiled. Even if he was a vampire I knew this would hurt. I picked up my knee and brought it up so it hit him.. down there. He removed his hands from around my wrists and fell to the floor in pain. I laughed and ran after my brother.
Well that was a long chapter :) At least we got some Gregory in this one.
There will be more next chapter. Thanks for reading !
