Captain Hook got out of bed. His body swayed as he focused on Smee. He hissed for a few seconds. His cruel smile remained.

Smee trembled and stepped back at the same time. Tears appeared in his eyes again. One tear ran down Smee's face. He refused to harm Captain Hook. *I will still protect you* he thought. He ceased stepping back.

Captain Hook approached Smee. His hook and fangs were near the latter's throat. The tips of his fangs contacted it. His eyes widened after Smee ducked.

Smee ran out of the bedroom. *I'm trying to remember how to repel a vampire. I can find garlic near Cookson. Zero steaks. They kill vampires. Wait. Not that kind of steak!* he thought.

Smee ceased running and looked back. *I will still protect Captain Hook. I should check on him. I'll just avoid attacks again* he thought. Smee approached the bedroom. After walking into it, he gasped again.

Captain Hook's ashes were on the floor. Sunlight filled the bedroom.

THE END
