Vlad looked down the hall. Why was he here after school hours? The hallway was enveloped in shadows, making Vlad's heart pound against his ribs. He had a wierd feeling in the pit of his stomach, as if someone- or something was watching him. He edged down the hall, his footsteps silent. When he turned the corner to the exit, he gasped when a pair of hands grabbed his shoulders, and turned him around. The rancid smell of it's breath was undeniable. He rolled his eyes and sighed.

"What are you doing here Bill?" He crossed his arms and put all his weight on his left foot in an attempt to seem calm.

"Nothin' much . . . we were in town and decided to . . . pay a visit. Why is a dork like you hanging around school at this time of night?" He growled.

"Honestly, I'm not even sure how I got here." He replied. Bill cackled.

"Well, I know how you're getting out." He replied. He motioned with his eyes, and Vlad stumbled forward as a meaty hand punched him in the back. He heard someone laughing behind him. Tom. Of course. Bill and Tom were a package deal - if you have to deal with one ou have to deal with both. Bill hauled him to his feet by grabbing on to his shoulders. Vlad lurched backwards when Bill's fist connected with his nose, making blood drip onto his shirt and the floor. Bill and Tom grew silent. They seemed to be sniffing the air. What was their problem?

"What are you doing?" Vlad asked, wondering if they had completely lost their minds.

"Blood . . ." They both whispered.

"Okay..." Vlad replied, beginning to get creeped out.

"You know what to do, Tom?" Bill asked. Tom nodded. Vlad cried out as Tom crashed into him and forced him to the ground, holding him down.

"What are you doing?" Vlad growled. His answer was met with a warm breath in his ear.

"Don't worry Vlad. Everything will be over soon." Bill answered. Vlad began to protest, then froze when he felt a pinprick on the back of his neck. Bill bit into his skin, making Vlad cry out in pain. He grew dizzy as Bill drained Vlad's blood into his mouth. He was just about to give in to the darkness once again when Bill stopped, and traded places with Tom. He too bit into Vlad's neck, and drank deeply. Vlad couldn't stay awake any longer. He closed his eyes . . .

"What do you mean, you know where the flowers are?" Henry asked. Otis was frozen. Vikas answered for him.

"Think about it, Henry. Who has been trying to kill Vlad ever since Freshman year?" Henry thought, but didn't respond. Vikas sighed. Henry could be so clueless.

"He's related to you." Henry was still drawing a blank. "His name starts with a J." Vikas said. Henry's eyes lit up in realization.

"Joss" He spat the name as if it were a curse. Vikas nodded.

"But I thought He was ove his obsession with killing Vlad?" Henry asked.

"Apparently not." Vikas replied. "He just never gives up." Henry cracked his knuckles.

"Well it's safe to say he's gonna get what he deserves." Vikas held up his hands.

"Henry, I think it would be better for you to stay here with Vlad while we go confront Joss. You are related to him, and with you around he might try to convince you to support him." Henry rolled his eyes.

"As if I would ever support that pathetic excuse for a vampire slayer." Vikas chuckled and nodded.

"True, but we cannot take any chances. We only have a limited amount of time before Vlad is gone forever."
