It was sometime later that night that we heard screaming and shouting from the opening of the cave, gradually getting closer. Adam laughed cruelly and I strained against the ropes as I recognised my mom shouting. A few seconds later she and Grandpa came into view, dragged by the rest of the vampires.
"Nikki!" My mom cried and tried to get to me but Jade had a strong grip on her and yanked her back, towing her over to the wall where Star and I were secured, Grandpa was being dragged by the blonde guy I had no name for. When they were both tied up and I couldn't see my mom because the ropes were preventing me from leaning far over, Adam stood on the rim of the fountain and opened his arms with a wide smile.
"Welcome," he started, almost like some tour guide, "I'm glad you could make it."
"What do you want?!" Mom demanded.
"To have a little fun." Adam replied and the vampires joined in with his laughter and hoots filled the caves.
"You let my family go!" Grandpa shouted and Adam shook his head.
"Can't do that." Adam replied almost sadly, "that'll be up to Michael when he arrives."
"Where is Michael? Where's Sam?" My mother asked.
"Probably only realizing something's up now. When Aaron checked on them last they had went to the comic book store. They probably won't be home until later." Adam said, great now I know the name of every vampire in the room, yippee.
"You won't get away with this, they'll come looking for you in the daylight and kill you." My mom spat, I had never heard her voice filled with so much hate, it had no effect on Adam who just laughed.
"Oh if only you knew, you haven't been explained the little party plan. Let's see. Tomorrow morning we are going to be awake when your sons and their stupid friends arrive. We are then going to tie them up with the exception of Michael. Michael will then have some choices to make, such as: he'll have to decide between Star and Nikki, one will die and the other will become a vampire and leave with us. Then he'll have to decide which of the two comic book nerds dies and then, finally, he'll pick out of you, your father and your other son, who will have their blood drained and who will stay in the caves when they blow up." Adam finished and I could hear my mother's sobs of fear.
"You're gonna blow it up?" Grandpa asked in disbelief and Adam grinned before looking to Diego who took two grenades out of his pocket and handed them to Adam who held them in the air.
"Yes, we're gonna have a little fun during the daylight draining your blood and watching you squirm, then when the sun goes down we're gonna go out of the caves whilst the chosen victims stay inside and blow it up, the roof will cave in and we're gonna have you directly under it when it happens, you'll be crushed by the rocks." Adam finished triumphantly, putting the grenades in his pocket before clapping his hands.
"Now, we are going to go have a little nap to make sure we're ready for tomorrow. Don't go anywhere." Adam said with a point of his finger and the caves were filled with laughter as the vampires retreated up into the caves to sleep, leaving Kim on guard.
"Nikki?" My mother's voice asked and I felt a tear slip down my face.
"Yeah, Mom?" I answered back.
"Are you alright?" She asked and I wanted to laugh so hard given the circumstances, one chuckle managed to escape and soon I was laughing so hard tears streamed down my face, giggles quickly turned to sobs as I slumped down as far as the ropes would allow me to on the floor of the caves as I accepted the fact that our whole family would be ruined tomorrow.
I had sat up all night thinking of what I could do, none of us could muster up the strength to talk to the gears in my head spent the night frantically turning, thinking of how we could get out of here. I got nothing, this was the end.
"Showtime!" A voice called and I looked up to see Jade had emerged from the part of the caves the vampires slept in, followed by the rest a few seconds later. Aaron ran up to the opening of the caves and the rest sat around the room as Adam came down last.
"Rise and shine, it's a beautiful sunny day in Santa Carla and your brothers and their friends should be arriving about…" Adam trailed off.
"They're here!" Aaron called from the front of the caves and all the vampires ran to the opening.
"Perfect timing." Adam grinned before following them.
This was the last time we'd be alone before we died, I searched around the room for something I could use. Finally my eyes came to rest of the bottle that sat a few feet away from me on the boxes and an idea flashed into my head, I started kicking the boxes with all my might until the bottle crashed to the floor and shattered.
"What are you doing?! Kim demanded as I tried to reach a piece of glass with my foot but it was too far away.
"Kim, give me a piece of glass." I said as she limped over, there were shouts from the front of the caves; we only had a few seconds.
"No way." She said with wide eyes and I growled in annoyance.
"My whole family is going to die today! I have to do something, this could be your only chance to get back to being human, give me a piece of glass!" I demanded and she flinched before picking up a piece and handing it around to my hand where it was tied behind my back.
"Thank you." I breathed and we heard them approaching, Kim hurriedly set some random stuff on top of where the glass was before limping back over to where she had been originally, making it just in time before the vampires came into view, dragging the Frog Brothers and Sam and Michael with them.
"Nikki!" They all shouted simultaneously as they saw me and they went on to shout for my mom and grandpa and Star when they saw her, but I couldn't focus on anything besides Edgar's face. He looked so scared and pained I wanted to cry again, we all knew this wasn't going to end well.
Soon enough every human had been tied up with the exception of Michael, who was being held by the arms by Diego who smirked as Adam started his speech.
"Now that everyone has arrived, we can get the party started. Michael, I'm glad you made it, because you are the star guest to the party, the one who makes all the decisions about how this day goes, and we're all very excited." Adam finished and Michael tried to lunge for him but Diego was too strong.
"Let my family go!" Michael demanded.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that." Adam said and then looked around at us.
"I know you love your family Michael, well I loved my brother and you took him from me, now I'm going to take yours from you. First of all I would just like to say that I'm doing you a kindness, you can choose exactly how the members of your family will die whilst I don't even know how I lost my little brother. So first question Michael, this one is between Star and Nikki." Adam began and Michael's gaze flicked first to Star and then e, fear as plain as day in his eyes. I shifted the shard of glass in my hands before starting to slice into the ropes; they were slowly starting to fray.
"So, Michael, I would like you to pick who stays here to die and who will live forever as a vampire. We took the liberty of turning them both into half vampires so it would save some time, so who will it be Michael, Star or Nikki?" Adam asked and silence hung in the air as Michael fixed his eyes on the floor, Adam sighed after a few minutes and then nodded.
"Alright, that might have been a difficult one to start with, how about… between Sam, your grandfather and your mother, which one will have their blood drained whilst the other two stay here when the caves are destroyed?" Adam asked and Michael's gazed snapped to him.
"You're destroying the caves?" Sam asked in his squeaky, panicked voice and Adam rolled his eyes.
"In future please don't interrupt, but yes, we'll be using these as soon as the sun goes down and we can leave." Adam said and took out the grenades to show everyone before putting them back in his pocket, Michael's eyes widened and he looked down the line to each face, a tear slipping down his face as he realised we would all die.
"Oh, don't worry Michael, nothing will happen to you. We plan to let you go as soon as the sun goes down, so you can be there to watch as your world crumbles." Adam explained.
"Please don't do this." Michel begged and Adam laughed.
"Alright, the third question should be easy. Out of the two Frog brothers, Edgar and Alan, right?" Adam asked and then went on once I assumed he'd seen the Frog brothers answer yes or no, "which one would you like to see have his blood drained? How about the one that is dating your little sister, I mean no brother wants his little sister dating some guy." Adam suggested and I frantically shook my head, Adam caught my worried gaze and smiled.
"It seems like that would be an excellent way to start of the party, Jade, bring Edgar over here." Adam ordered and Jade walked over to Edgar.
"No!" I cried as Edgar was dragged into the middle of the room.
"It'll be alright Nikki." Edgar said and tears slipped down my face as I tried harder to cut the ropes, but I was running out of time, Adam had just begun to lean towards Edgar when an idea struck me. It would probably get me killed, but I didn't care.
"Your bother was an asshole." I stated bravely, my voice suddenly strong even thought I was shaking from head to foot as I tried to cut the ropes.
Adam froze inches away from Edgar's neck and turned his head to me.
"What did you say?" He asked dangerously and I forced a laugh.
"Well he was! You wanna know how he died? He got impaled on a pair of deer antlers, how pathetic is that?" I asked and Adam stood up, glaring at me.
"You better watch yourself." Adam said in a voice that sent a shudder through me but I refused to stop as I cut the ropes further, I was almost done.
"And you wanna know what else?" I continued, "He spent his last few sad seconds of what you bloodsuckers call life crying and begging like a little child. I spent the whole time laughing, how can someone who acted so badass suddenly turn into such a snivelling coward? But maybe he was one all along, maybe he just wanted to be like his big brother who had left him, drops in on him from time to time and calls it love. Your brother deserved to die and I wish I'd have been the one to do it." I finished as Adam came to a stop a few feet away, his eyes glittering with anger and he jaw rigid.
"You know what, Michael? I'm going to make the decision for you. Nikki dies." Adam stated and I could hear the cries of my family protesting as he came closer, I caught one last glimpse of Edgar over Adam's shoulder. It was taking two vampires to hold him back as he desperately tried to reach me, his face covered in tears as he cried out, but I couldn't hear him through the haze of voices and my heart pounding in my ear. Son I couldn't see him, Adam was so close that I could feel his breath of my face as he put one arm either side of my head.
"Any last words, Nikki Emerson?" He asked in a cold voice just as I cut the rope and got free. My hand shot into his pocket and I grabbed the two grenades, pulling the pins out. Adam looked down once he heard the clicks before looking up at me in disbelief.
"Eat sunlight, you shit-sucking asshole." I spat and he stumbled back a step as I threw both of the grenades to the ceiling, aiming for opposite sides as they met the rocks.
And exploded.
The rocks came raining down and the cave was flooded with light and flames as the vampires ignited in the sunlight.
"Get out of the way!" I screamed to Michael and Edgar before I launched myself at Adam and knocked him into the sunlight further, his face being engulfed in flames as I rolled off him, batting the flames off the sleeve of my jacket as I tried to shield myself from the falling rocks above me. I could vaguely hear the sounds of screaming and crackling of flames, before a rock crashed onto my skull and everything faded into a haze before I drifted into darkness.
