This chapter rated K+ for mild dark themes.

Phineas was stunned at this confession. A vampire? No. He couldn't be. He has loved garlic toast since he first tried it. He has never shown any signs of fangs, not even at the dentist. He has never had the urge to drink blood. How could it be possible? The only way to find out was to ask his mother. But she had run off after the confession. Phineas didn't want to make it worse. ~~~

Ferb ran and ran and ran through the forest. He hoped he was losing it. He looked behind himself. Oh, no. That thing was still after him. All he could do was keep running.

The beast ran towards the boy, his scent becoming more noticeable as it got closer. Its scarlet eyes plowed through dense fog. The meal to come was not quick enough. This boy's fate would be decided tonight. Either the boy would live to see another day, or he would get eaten alive, the latter being more likely.

Ferb shot through the forest like a rocket. He had to get away from this beast, but how? Just then, another beast jumped in front of him. Ferb made a left turn. Another beast jumped out in front of him. Ferb ran back, only to be cornered by a fourth beast. He was surrounded. With no place to go, Ferb was idle, hoping the creatures would go away. Just then, all four pounced at him at the same time. He was doomed.

"NO!"

"Ferb!" Phineas yelled. Ferb sat upright in his bed. It was just a bad dream. He let out a sigh of relief.

"What happened?" Phineas asked. "I had a horrible nightmare," Ferb replied. "I was being chased through the forest by a red-eyed beast. I tried to get away, but three other beasts surrounded me. They pounced on me and ate me alive!"

Phineas's jaw nearly hit the floor. "That's almost the exact same dream I had!" he yelled. "The only difference was that I was being chased by only one beast."

Now Ferb was speechless. He decided to go back to sleep, trying to figure out why the same dream was had by two people.~~~

Phineas and Ferb lay under the tree in the backyard. Phineas had no idea what he wanted to do. Ferb was just thinking about the dreams the duo were having. Just then, Linda walked outside.

"Phineas, could you come here for a minute?" she said. Her question was quickly answered by Phineas walking towards her. He thought about last night, when his mother told him that he was...that. He thought that if he was gonna ask why, the time would be now. But before he could even speak, his mother did.

"When I told you that you were...a...vampire..." she started, "...you seemed shocked, so I wanted to apologize." Now it was Phineas's turn to speak.

"It's okay," he said. "Actually, I wanted to ask you something." Phineas struggled to ask. "Why am I a vampire?"

"Well, it's a long story," Linda said. "Are you willing to listen?" Phineas slowly nodded his head up and down.

"It all started after you were born."

So that's pretty much it. The next chapter will be the back story of why Phineas is a vampire! And in other news, I will start a new fan fiction soon, so watch for it. Please Rate and Review!
