The End..
Mikey's POV.
"Please, do not eat me!" I begged the scary vampire that was in love with my cousin..
"I'm not going to eat you, mortal." He replied. We made it to the cliffs and Gregory reached into his pocket and pulled out a necklace. He then began to swing it above his head, Anna showed up and joined my side as we sat on a boulder. Then a car pulled up. Is that my Aunt and Uncle? Oh! And my brother! I'm surprised they got him off his phone and out in the real world. Either way, yay!
"Thank you Gregory!" Fredrick exclaimed. The boy looked back at his father and smirked, Fredrick smiled at him, this was odd to see on the vampires face, and also kinda creepy. Gregory smiled back. Also creepy, he should definitely just smirk. It works for him.
"Where are the others?" Freda asked.
"Oh! They're off looking for the stone." I informed them.
"May their search be fruitful." Fredrick said. All of a sudden, a crap load of bats appeared. Oh no! More vampires!
"AH!" I cried, I grabbed onto Anna for protection as they all popped up.
"Is that a mortal?" one cried.
"A whole lot of them!" Another shouted. They were surround my Aunt and Uncle's car.
"They are not to be harmed. They are friends." Fredrick announced. Oh, thank God! The family stepped back from the car back to Gregory.
"Maybe more." A girl around my age giggled. She had black hair and dark eyes. She wore a dress similar to Anna's. She was staring straight at me.
"Charlotte!" an older man cried.
"Father!" She cried back.
"You do not speak to mortals!" He exclaimed.
"That's big talk coming from someone about to become one!" I shot at him. Where this bravery came from, I have no clue.
"I am a dark god, you foolish mortal! Why on Earth would I want to go back?" He exclaimed. Didn't I hear Gregory say something like that?
"Then why are you here, brother?" Fredrick asked. Wow… They look a lot alike…
"I am not exactly sure." The other man said, and with that he turned into a bat a flew off. Fredrick looked down.
"Charlotte, Christiana, I am deeply sorry." He apologized.
"It's fine Uncle." the girl replied.
"It seems I have left our fate in the hands of three children. I am sorry. I shall not ask for forgiveness." Fredrick said solemnly.
"Hey! No offense to you or anything, sir. But I know my cousins, they would die trying to help you guys. And your son, I'm positive he would stop at nothing to become human again. So I wouldn't count them out just yet." I said, before he could respond, Anna and Gregory cried out:
"They're here!"
"Where?" Freda asked.
"There!" Anna exclaimed, pointing to a spot in the sky. I saw my cousins and Rudolph flying towards us.
"TONY POWER!" Tony screamed happily. I laughed as Parker waved at us, a giant smile on her face.
Parker's POV.
We landed on the ground and Mikey, Mom, Dad, and Austin rushed up to us.
"You had us worried sick!" Mom exclaimed, grasping us in a hug. We hugged her back tightly.
"Father!" Rudolph exclaimed. He handed Fredrick the stone,
"THE STONE OF ATTAMON IS OURS!" He cried, placing the stone in the necklace and holding it up to the moon. I ran to Gregory, who hugged me tightly. The vampires were cheering happily.
"I'm glad you're safe." He whispered in my ear.
"I can say the same thing about you." I replied with a smile. He grinned and placed an arm around my shoulders and we looked up at the moon. Fredrick held the amulet and we all waited. Part of me was dreading the fact Gregory was just seconds away from disappearing and part of me was happy his family was getting everything they had been wanting for over 3 centuries.
"Parker, love, why are you crying?" Gregory asked. I hadn't even noticed I was until he pointed it out.
"I- I- I just don't want to lose you." I whispered. He gave me a shocked look.
"Parker, you will never lose me. I promise you that." He said. I sniffed, then my Dad's voice cut in.
"Hey! That's my blimp!" I looked up to see Rookery coming down, blocking the light with said blimp. Sadness was replaced with anger instantly at this sight,
"I THOUGHT WE KILLED YOU ALL READY!" I shouted at him. He glared at me. I stuck my tongue out at him. Oh yeah, I was definitely gonna be the more mature one in this situation. Rookery held onto the rope with one hand, he was soaking wet and covered in sea weed. In his other hand, he held his glowing cross. Though I am not sure how it was still glowing. The family of vampires hissed and backed away from him. Gregory pulled me along with him, I grabbed Anna and Rudolph and pulled them with me. Fredrick held the amulet high above his head, refusing to be intimidated. Rookery kicked the necklace from his hand and caught it as he landed.
'I may hate him… but that was pretty cool.' I thought, impressed by the move.
"And now you go straight to hell!" He cried gleefully as he swung the cross back and forth across his chest, in a successful attempt to clear a path for himself.
"Mom, Dad!" Tony cried, I looked over in time to see my father toss his apron down in a fit of anger. Whoa, I've never seen this!
"Alright, that's it!" He yelled as he ran up to Rookery and stuck him straight in the face. Rookery staggered backwards, he backed away, waving his fingers through the air as if they hurt, Mom stepped up after him. The expression on her face scared the hell out of me. Rookery waved the cross at her frantically, as if she was a vampire. Seriously, did he think everyone in our family was a vampire? He had some serious issues…
"I don't think so!" She growled, she hit him in both the face and the stomach. I cracked up at this, this caused the amulet to go flying out of his hand and straight in the direction of Tony.
"CATCH IT, TONY!" Rudolph and I cried at the same time. Tony rushed forward to catch it, I smiled as it landed in his hands. But then Mikey's voice caught my attention.
"This is for locking us in that damn coffin!" He yelled punching Rookery in the stomach. I walked up and stuck him in the face.
"And that's for just existing." I said, Rookery staggered backwards, closer to the edge of the cliffs. I looked at Mikey and we both nodded before he reached up and kicked him in the chest. This ended the fight, Rookery fell backwards, but then he grabbed my ankle and pulled me with him.
"AHHH!" I screamed. Mikey reached for me.
"Hang on!" He cried, grabbing onto me.
"Yes! Because I planned on letting go!" I shot back.
"Don't be sarcastic with me! I'm trying to save you!" He said. I rolled my eyes and felt his grip loosen.
"Just let me go! Make sure they become human again!" I said, Gregory had run over and was attempting to help pull me up.
"NO!" He yelled. I nodded and released his wrist, he lost his grip on me and I began falling to the water again. Rookery cried out happily, but then someone caught me. I looked up to see Gregory. I kicked out of Rookery's grasp and he fell to the water. Gregory flew us up to the cliffs and we landed on the ground.
"Parker!" My family cried, but I shook my head at them. I looked up at the moon. The ceremony was almost over.
"Wish it, Tony!" Rudolph yelled,
"You know what we want! Wish it!" Tony looked at me and I nodded, Gregory held onto me. The same beam of light went from the comet to the stone again, but this time accompanying it, was a red mist. The vampires slowly began to disappear one by one.
"I just have to tell you one thing before I leave," Gregory said suddenly, I looked up at him
"I love you!" He said, and with that he pressed his cold lips to mine. I kissed back instantly. I felt smoke coming between us, I was too scared to let go, I pulled away and looked up at him.
"I love you too." I whispered to him. We kissed once more before he disappeared. The tears came out freely now. I sank to my knees and placed my head in my hands. I felt someone come up behind me.
"Parker…" Mikey whispered. He pulled me into a hug and I hugged back. But then I remembered Tony. I looked up at my little brother who also had tears in his eyes.
"Come here." I choked out. He ran to me and we both cried.
"What did you wish for?" Dad asked. Neither Tony or I replied, I don't think either of us were quite ready to face the reality of the situation quite yet.
"Better yet… Explain to us what the hell has happened the past few days?" Austin exclaimed. I had a feeling that he wouldn't just take this with a grain of salt.
"Let's go home and get settled down. Then we'll explain." Mikey replied softly. Tony and I slowly got up and walked to the car. The ride home was silent and once we got there, we all got cleaned up then settled at the kitchen table for the much needed explanation.
"Okay. So it started with the dreams." I began. We explained everything from each of our point of views. After words, my parents remained speechless.
"So wait. You are in love with Gregory?" Mikey exclaimed. I looked down at the table.
"You know, it's been a long night. I'm going to bed." I muttered finally. I got up and walked out of the room without another word. I felt their eyes on my back as I did so. But I ignored it. I went into my room and lied down on the bed. Sleep didn't come to me that night. Or the night after. A week passed and I probably got a grand total of 5 hours of sleep. Gregory haunted my dreams, I couldn't even close my eyes without seeing his face. It was now a week officially since the ceremony. I had taken to my room most of the week except to go to school.
"Parker. Sweetie, we're going in to town. Let's go." Mom said walking into my room.
"I don't feel good." I replied. My voice came out in a monotone.
"Honey, I know you're upset, but you have to go outside and join the world again." She said. I sighed.
"I go to school." I muttered, staring at the comforter.
"Parker, you know what I mean." She said, I didn't respond. She sighed.
"I'm going to tell you something very cliché, but still very true. If you love something, set it free… If it comes back, then it's yours.. If it doesn't it never was." She said. I gave her a confused look. Why does she have to bring that up? She knew the possibility that I would see Gregory again were one in a million.
"You'll understand. Now get up and get dressed. You are coming with us." She responded. I sighed and got up. She kissed my head lightly and left the room, I went to the bathroom and took a shower then got ready for the day. I grabbed my cell phone and iPod and slumped downstairs.
Mike's POV.
I still couldn't believe it had already been a week since everything happened. I was worried sick about Tony and Parker. Both of them were just going through the motions. Tony was getting better, he was smiling and laughing again. He didn't play Nintendo though, but Parker wasn't even showing the slightest sign of getting back to normal. She would wake up in the morning, come downstairs, skip out on breakfast, go to school, skip out on lunch, come home, go straight to her room and that was it. I am not going to lie, I missed her fun loving nature. I missed her singing random songs at the most random times. Heck, I even missed her snarky attitude and when she made fun of the fact I was an idiot. I just missed my cousin! Today we were going to the market and Aunt Dottie was dragging Parker even if she came kicking and screaming. Scary part is, I know Parker wouldn't go down without a fight, and Aunt Dottie wouldn't let her stay home no matter what she said or did to protest. I sat in the living room with Austin waiting for the rest of our family.
"Dude. Let's roll!" Austin exclaimed. I rolled my eyes and hit my twin upside the head. He slapped me back.
"Be sensitive!" I hissed at him.
"She needs to get over it!" He hissed back. He could be such an ass sometimes. It amazed me.
"How the hell can you say that?" I snapped.
"Simple! She needs to just realize he's gone and ain't ever coming back." He said.
"You can be such an ass! How would you feel if Courtney was gone from your life forever!" I demanded. This seemed to soften him a bit.
"Sorry man… I guess I'm just over tired…" He muttered.
"It's cool. Just keep your mouth shut around Parker." I said. He nodded and Parker and Tony came slumping in.
"Ready kids?" Uncle Bob asked, walking in after them. We all nodded, except for Parker who listening to her iPod. We got to the market and got out. Tony was playing with a yo-yo, Parker was still listening to her iPod, Austin was texting, and I was just looking around. A moving van caught my attention, but the young children in front of it kept it their. They were so familiar. Tony saw them too and ran to them, screaming:
"Hey!" the two kids looked at him. Parker looked up, and her jaw dropped. Then it clicked in my own mind. Anna and Rudolph!
Parker's POV.
We were at the market and I noticed my little brother had run off from my side. I was in charger of him. Shit! I looked up and saw the last two faces I expected to see in my life standing by a moving van in front of an ugly yellow home. It was Anna and Rudolph! Except humanified. They were looking at us in confusion, almost offended. I walked to stand next to my brother, heartbroken they didn't recognize us.
"Tony." I whispered, getting ready to tell him that maybe that's not them. I knew I'd be lying, to him. And myself, but I couldn't stand to see the little guy sad. But then he started whistling and the two kids slowly turned around, realization dawning their faces. My eyes grew wide. If they were here and they recognized us, Gregory must be there too! They ran up to us and we ran to them, we met up in the middle.
"Tony! Parker!" Anna exclaimed, she ran and gave my brother a hug and Rudolph ran to me. I hugged the young boy, then his sister. Mike came over and hugged them too.
"I can't believe this!" I exclaimed happily. I looked to the van again and saw Fredrick and Freda there, they looked over and saw us and smiled after they recognized us. Then Gregory came walking out. My breathing hitched, he looked even better than in vampire form. His hair was still wild, but lacked the multicolor, it was just bleached, he wore a cut off band tee and black jeans, he looked over at us. He dropped the apple he was eating and started running in our direction, I ran towards him. We met in the middle and he picked me up and spun me around, capturing my lips in a kiss. We stayed like this for God knows how long.
"EWWW!" The chorus of voices broke us apart. We looked at our little siblings and my cousins.
"Michael. Charlotte is in the house." Gregory smiled. My cousin's eyes grew wide with happiness. Speak of the Devil, Charlotte came outside, she took one look at my cousin and squealed in delight, Mikey laughed and blushed and began walking towards her, the walk turned to a jog, then to a run, then a full on sprint and the two met in the middle. They kissed each other happily. I giggled, then remembered the night after we first met the Sackville-Baggs.
"Hey Mikey. She's your immortal!" I called to him, he just rolled his eyes and flipped me the bird before turning his undivided attention on her, I turned back to Gregory.
"I thought I lost you." I muttered to him, looking at the floor.
"Hey, hey… what did I tell you?" He asked, lifting my chin so I could look him in the eyes.
"That'd I'd never lose you." I replied.
"Exactly. I stayed true to my word didn't I?" He smiled, kissing me again. We both smiled into the kiss. That night my parents allowed the Sackville-Bagg children to stay over at our house.
"Parker, what's this?" Alana asked, holding up my curling iron. We older kids had been in my room watching various movies, and eating junk food when Charlotte and Gregory began walking around examining everything. So far, they asked about the DVD player, the cell phone, the computer, and the printer. Michael and Austin grabbed Gregory and made a B-line for the door when Charlotte held up a Tampon. Let's just say I didn't explain that to her, my Mom would have to handle that…
"It's a curling iron, it heats up and makes your hair all curly." I replied, she looked at it, clearly amazed.
"Fascinating! You have to show me how to use it!" She exclaimed, I laughed and nodded.
"I will one day." I replied.
"Oh thank you so much!" She exclaimed, I laughed and nodded. After a few minutes, we were all called downstairs. We sat at the dining table and listened to our parents. We found out Charlotte was going to be in 9th grade with Austin, Mikey and I, Gregory was going to be a Sophomore. Tony and Rudolph would be in 3rd grade, Anna in 2nd. I had a feeling school would be better with Gregory and Charlotte there, it would definitely better for Tony with friends, I don't think the McAshton boys really count as friends. More like slaves. So, that's the end of the story, for now at least. I hope you enjoyed it.
The Final Chapter! Sorry if it's bad. I've started the sequal, and i'm gonna use some different people for the Thompson parents, sorry if you like the original people, but i want to change them. Still don't own anything from the Little Vampire. I'm also starting a few other stories, they'll be posted soon. Thank you everyone for the reviews, they were so nice!(:
Much Love,
Rhey!
