Disclaimer: I do not own the Lost Boys or the Frog Brothers! I do own Emma and Lina though! SO NO STEALIN THEM.

Note to the reader: I have a question to ask you all- Do you like Emma or Lina more?

"Okay, I'm pretty sure he went back here, in this alley." Lina said, revealing her inner detective. "Man. What is with vampires and alleys?" I mumbled to myself and reluctantly kept following her. "Hold up. Lina!" I called out to her, she turned to face me and gave me a questioning look. "We have to get back to our dads remember? And besides, we're far too low on weapons!" I was whisper-shouting at her now. "You still have two stakes left, and I still have a few arrows! We can handle the one vampire. So, come on." She retorted to me and I just had to keep creeping along the alley, trying to remain as quiet as possible. We had only gone about eight steps when Lina whispered, "Hey did you hear that?" I nodded, I thought I heard something too. "I think so…" We were stopped behind a dumpster now. "What do you think it was then…?" Lina asked in a hushed tone. I stopped and thought for a moment. The first thing that came to mind was when Alan was lecturing Lina and I about the powers that vampires have, one of them being able to fly, and that when they flew, you'd hear a whoosh-like sound. "It must be the vampire." I murmured to Lina, feeling like I had figured out a tricky puzzle.

Lina nodded and gazed up at the sky, as if attempting to see where the monster had flown. I looked behind us, a sneaking suspicion creeping up on me that we were being watched, and not only watched, but followed. "Lina," I whispered to her, but not looking at her. "Yeah?" She whispered back. "I think we walked straight into a trap-" I immediately stopped talking out of fear at what I saw standing directly behind Lina. She opened her mouth to probably ask what was wrong, but instead screamed as the vampire grabbed her by the shoulders and dragged her away. "LINA!" I yelled, and sprinted after them, the alley was zigzagged, I realized as I was running after them, but abruptly stopped, when Lina screamed again. "EMMA!" I felt like screaming now, seeing the vampire holding Lina against his chest, baring his fangs which were dangerously close to Lina's neck. I yanked one of my stakes out of its pocket in my utility belt, and took a step towards the vampire and Lina. As if mocking me, he leaned in closer to her letting his fangs touch her skin, and then all of sudden as if he lost control of himself, he bit down into Lina's neck, her blood spraying out of the bitten spot. "HOLY SHIT, LINA DON'T MOVE!" I screamed at the top of my lungs; I saw a spot over Lina's right shoulder that would guarantee instant death to the monster.

I took a step back and hurled the stake right at the spot I was aiming for, causing him to release his bite on Lina's neck and let go of her. Lina collapsed, or should I say, her corpse collapsed, and I ran my fastest to catch her in my arms, so we would avoid spilling any more blood. I caught her really close to the ground though, she seemed to have passed out, her eyes closed, and from what I could see, she wasn't breathing. I brushed her hair off of her neck and saw what I had feared the worst right then. Two marks from the bloodsucker's fangs with blood slowly trickling from the bite marks. "Lina," I shook her shoulder, ", Lina, wake up." She sucked in a sharp breath of air but still seemed unconscious; I shook her again. This time it worked- her eyes sort of flickered open and met mine. I felt my eyes widen in the alarm that I felt, her eyes were no longer their medium brown color, they had turned a piercing bright yellow color. She blinked a few times, as if waking up from a bad dream, and then sat up, her hands reached up to her neck. "Oh no…" She mumbled, realizing what had truly happened. "Are you alright?" I asked her, surely she could hear every ounce of shock and fear in my voice right then. "I…" She began speaking but was at a loss for words. "…I don't know!" She sounded panicked now, and the look in her yellow eyes matched her tone of voice.

"I'll call my dad…or Alan…" I murmured while pulling my walkie-talkie out of my pocket, and changed the station on it. "No!" Lina shouted at me, grabbing my wrists. "Why not?" I sort of shouted at her, and pulled back, she was still gripping my wrists. "Because they'll know that this was my fault! That I got ahead of myself! That I fucked up and dragged you into it!" She was yelling now, distress filling her features. I started yelling too now, "I don't care! We're cousins! Practically sisters, and we're the only family we've really got! Not including our nutcases for fathers!" Her grip around my wrists tightened, the distress in her eyes changed to something more like anger. "Well I do care! I won't let you take any blame for something stupid I did on my own!" I tried to pull my wrists again. "Lina, I let this happen!" I began yelling at her, took a deep breath, and then continued talking. "This was all my fault, and anyways I'm older than you, so naturally I'll have to take the blame here." I started yelling again, "So let me get our dads!" Her grip tightened again, I winced in pain, and she loosened. "Listen. If I got us into this, I'll get us out of it." I could tell she was trying to be calm, but it wasn't working. "We can pretend that this whole little experience never happened, handle it ourselves, and never have to tell them!" I shook my head, "Are you kidding me Lina? I suck at acting, and they would know in a second what was going on. And they'd be FURIOUS, once they found out that we were trying to hide it from them." She stared into my eyes for a few moments longer, then sighed and let go of my wrists, giving up. "You're probably right…I just," she sighed again, "…I don't know…" I put my hand on her shoulder, "Come on, let's go find them." I stood up, and offered my hand out to Lina, she shook her head no, and stood up, and began walking next to me, very silently though.

We finally reached the street again and I pulled out my walkie-talkie, and hit the speaker button. "Dad, you there?" I asked into the little device. "Yeah. What do you need?" His voice responded, it was fuzzy sounding though. "We, uh, ran into a problem. Could you come down here?"

"Sure. But is it something the online priest-ship can help?"

"No Dad."

"Okay, we'll be over in a minute."

"Kay bye."

"Bye."

Lina chuckled a bit, it sounded pretty nervous, but it was a start. "What's with him and that online priest-ship?" I laughed for real, trying to make the mood less uncomfortable. "He has problems. I mean, I love him, he's great, but jesus, he has to get some things straight." Lina nodded and added a nervous laugh, while we sat down on the curb. "I guess I don't mind him wanting to be close to me though. He's cool, for an dad that is, although I really wish he'd give up on drinking frog juice together." I stuck my tongue out to indicate the grossness of the stuff. She smiled a fake, but still trying kind of smile. "Um. Anyways…" she began, while looking down at her nails, and then back up to me. "Do you, uh, see my fangs coming in yet…?" She pulled back her upper lip, and I shook my head. "Okay good, because I don't think that'll help our story." She finished and sighed through her nose. "Just try not to get to, er, thirsty, okay?" I managed to say while my voice quivered. "Okay." Her voice sounded small and weak, not like the Lina I knew. I was about to say something else when I heard the Frog Brother's pickup truck park near us, and the engine turn off with a loud bang.

"Okay Emma. We're here, whaddya want?" Dad asked in what I thought was an obnoxious tone; I was at a loss for words right then, and Lina seemed to be too. "Jesus, why do you two look so freaked out?" Alan asked, while chuckling to himself. "Funny you'd ask that…." Lina mumbled, and looked to me for help. "Okay, so, um, we were on our mission, and then this-this one vampire, he ran away, r-right?" I was stumbling over each and every word I said. The dads gave me a questioning look. "S-so, we, um, we followed it, but the vampire, he, um…" I couldn't keep going like this, so I turned to Lina and mouthed, "Help me!" Dad sighed, "Emma, spit it out." I looked to him pleadingly, but Lina started talking now. "The vampire…he…um...he bit me." Dad and Alan's confused faces changed to shocked ones, their eyes darting from me over to Lina. "Um. Yeah…I killed it, BUT LINA ISN'T BACK TO NORMAL, WE ARE SO UNDENIABLY FUCKED, WHAT DO WE DO?" I started panicking and speaking a mile a minute then. The four of us were dead silent, just looking from person to person before Alan finally spoke. "Do you know who the head vampire is?" I shook my head and looked to Lina; she just bit her lip out of what was probably anxiousness.

"Um…Lina…" I mumbled to her. "You…you might want to…um…" Lina was unaware of what I was talking about and before she could ask "What?" my Dad shouted "Lina, your fangs are out!" Lina's eyes widened and the yellow they already were seemed to brighten. "What?" She yelped, frightened now. "Your fangs…they're uh…coming out…" I murmured to her, trying to be gentle. "Oh my god! I-I-I don't know what to do make them go away…!" Her breathing was heavy and uneven now, completely panicking. "Calm down. Are you, uh, thirsty?" Dad asked her, trying to reason. "I don't know!" She winced. "Dad, don't you dare give her frog juice!" I yelled at him for some random, unknown reason. "Lina, listen, do you feel an itchy scratching at the back of your throat, or a burning?" Alan asked Lina, while stepping out of the truck and walking towards her. "You might feel a bit empty?" He finished his sentence, and kept walking towards her. I looked over at the father and daughter. Lina had started crying silently but still crying. "What do I do…?" she asked through choked sobs. "Alan help her out for god's sake!" Dad shouted at his brother, Alan hardly noticed.

Alan laid his hands on Lina's shoulders. "You need to calm down first of all." She let out another sob, and tried to calm herself down, but it seemed to only half-work. "Then what?" She wiped at her eyes. "I think you should listen to Emma now. We'll get you through this, you know that." Lina nodded, and sniffled. "Alan, how do we make her better?" I wanted to know, but thought about if the word 'better' was appropriate. He didn't seem to notice, "Well we obviously need to find the head vampire."

"Well what about her staying in control right now?" Dad asked his brother thoughtfully. Alan thought about this for a few moments. "Maybe she should try drinking animal blood." Lina looked up at him, having calmed down a bit, but not quite. "Alan. You're daughter is having a bit of a problem right now. We should probably help her very soon!" Dad barked at Alan. "Well I don't see any animals around here! Do you?" Alan snapped back, I thought for a moment while everyone was silent. "Wasn't there a forest or something we passed while driving up here?" I asked anyone who was listening. "Yeah. There was." Lina mumbled. "Well let's get over there now!" Edgar said seriously, starting up the truck again, I sat between the two men awkwardly listening to them bicker for the fifteen minute drive, about what they would do about Lina, they didn't come up with anything reasonable or good, and I was tired of hearing them, so I hopped out of the cab and sat in the truck bed where Lina was after she hopped out. "Just follow your instinct." Alan had told her before sending her off to hunt. Those words stuck in my head for some reason. It was a bit creepy though, vampires did have an instinct to hunt down and kill anything with a strong beating heart.

Alan had stepped out of the cab and started pacing after a minute or so of us being parked. "Alan?" I asked him trying to be calm. "Hm?" He responded, still pacing. "I hope so. All we have to do is find that head vampire, and make sure she doesn't kill anybody…" he paused probably remembering something. "The fight against becoming a full vampire will get harder for her every day." He stopped pacing then, probably lost in thought. "I just want her back to normal again." I muttered to not to anyone really. "We'll do everything we can to get her back to normal." Dad replied from inside the cab. "Thanks Dad." I smiled at him through the little window. Lina sulked back over to the truck clearly much more upset now. "I'm a monster." She whispered. I had to ask, "What happened?" She shook her head, "The family of deer…even the baby ones." Alan wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "It's okay Lina." He tried to comfort her. "Better the deer than people right?" Dad asked, not doing a great job of comforting. She nodded and climbed into the truck bed. "Emma do you want to sit up here…?" Dad asked me, before starting the car, I waved him away, he shrugged and turned on the engine, and we started driving home. "It'll all be okay." I tried to tell Lina. She looked up at me, her yellow eyes seemingly glowing in the darkness.
