I know the last chapter short and stopped abruptly. I am sorry. But I think this one will be better. Enjoy!

P.S. Beginning will be sad, but the end will be fine. :)


Thatch watched as Fatch knelt down in the snow in front of a gravestone, placing a rose on the ground. The gray one tried to be as respectful as possible, as this was a VERY serious moment for the prince. Thatch knelt down beside him, bowing his head.

" Thank you. "

Fatch whispered with a soft smile. Thatch smiled back, reading the stone to figure out which one this was.

" R.I.P, Dawn Ramirez. "

Yes. These graves were for Fatch's family members. Even Dusk's grave was here. Though the tall vampire himself wasn't.

Since Christmas was the day they died, Fatch wanted to come pay his respects. Thatch was here for moral support.

Thatch placed a soft hand on the others shoulder, gaining a few sniffles from the older. Fatch looked at him with tears in his eyes before wiping them away.

" Thank you. Really. "

He said softly.

" This means a lot. "

Thatch smiled softly, unsure of what to say.

" No problem. "

" Come on. "

Fatch said, getting up.

" Let's get back to school. "


" They pestering you non-stop as well? "

Thatch nodded to the others question. It was officially Tuesday, the 24th, Christmas Eve. Casper and the others would just not leave them alone. To be honest, it was starting to get aggravating.

" I personally don't want to explain why I'm acting differently, you? "

" No. "

Fatch replied.

" Nor do I think I should have to. If you all have seen my memories, they should know what the problem is. "

Fatch had a good point. It wasn't exactly a secret, so why did nobody understand? It wasn't rocket science, not even close. It should be an easy one.

" Maybe I should just tell them. You know, get them off my back. Besides, it's not like this huge secret. What are you going to do Thatch? "

Thatch looked down, sadness beginning to creep into his investing heart.

" ... I'm not telling them... "

He muttered.

" I can't... they wouldn't believe me anyway. "

Fatch frowned, patting the younger's head. Despite how sad this sounded, it was probably true. No body would believe him on this. Not unless they had proof.


" Ugh! I can't take it! "

Mantha cried.

" Seriously, what's bothering them?! "

Lexi gently rubbed the zombie girls back, trying to help her calm down. Nothing seemed to work though. To be honest, the whole group was a little down. They had failed to help either creature, and now things just wouldn't be the same.

This was supposed to be one big happy christmas. After all, it was the first one they'd ever spend together.

" So! "

Everyone jumped harshly at this yell, turning around to see both Fatch and Thatch walking over to them with grins on their faces.

" You guys REALLY wanna know what's been going on? "

Casper pounced up, eager to hear whatever the vampires had to say.

Fatch snickered slightly at the ghosts enthusiasm.

" It's just... I just wanted to honor my family a bit. If you remember right... they died on christmas. "

Casper gasped, looking down sadly.

" I-I'm so sorry. I completely forgot about that. "

Fatch smiled, placing a hand on the boys shoulder.

" Don't worry. I'm all good now. I'm, eh, sorry if I bummed any of you out. "

Mantha smirked a bit.

" Don't worry about it. You feeling any better? "

The prince smiled widely, nodding softly. The group then turned to Thatch, expecting him to say something. Though, he never did. He just gave them a perplexed look.

" ... What? "

" What's been going on with you? "

Thatch's face grew uncomfortably hot at the question. He didn't understand why though. The question itself wasn't very bad, but he didn't know how to answer. How could he explain that he wasn't as he seems...?

The little vampire whimpered rather pitifully before rushing off.

The group looked confused for a moment before turning to Fatch.

" What's with him? "

Mantha asked, getting a sigh from the prince.

" It's complicated. Just... please, be nice to him, ok? "


More abrupt ending. But I felt this one held much emotion. Happy Christmas Eve!
