Chapter 12 : Help?

I really hate this truck, and I swear Rookery is going over every single pot hole just to torment me. Suddenly the truck stopped. Rookery opened the compartment and pulled me out.

"Wakey, wakey. Time for the vampire to talk." He sneered as he drug me into his house. He plopped me down in a chair. "Well start talking."

"Never." I spat at him.

"We'll see about that." He pulled out a spray can that said 'essences of garlic', a vile of holy water and a cross.

"Damn, you really are as stupid as you look!" I chuckled. "I'm not even a vampire."

"Yes you are, I saw you!" He growled, and uncapped the holy water. I rolled my eyes. Suddenly he threw the holy water at me. He started grinning with success.

"You've only succeeded in making me annoyed, you know that right?"

"That's not enough for you eh? Well how about this!" He picked up the spray can and sprayed it at me. I closed my eyes instinctively, but the vapors got in my nose. I sneezed.

"Your pathetic, all you've done so far is throw water on me and make me sneeze."

"You're a tough one aren't you? Well this ought to do the job." He picked up the cross and roughly pressed it into my forehead. After a while I started laughing.

"Are you serious? You just don't know when to give up, do you?"

"Quiet you." His hand flashed to my neck and I was hoisted to my feet and into the air. "Time to die." He brought out a very sharp stake from his jacket and held it at the ready. I tried to keep my features emotionless, but there must have been a tiny flicker of fear in my eye for Rookery grinned.

*Meanwhile in the crypt* (third person point of view)

Tony waited nervously, he only whistled nearly an hour ago for Anna. He was worried about Ember, too. Suddenly he heard rustling of metal and fabric, and muffled voices.

"Down Here!" He called through the small hole at the corner of the coffin.

"Tony!" Anna and Rudolph both called back. They ran down the steps, shedded their tin foil and cloth, and opened the coffin.

"Thank goodness you found me." Tony smiled. Anna attacked him with a hug.

"Oh, my darling I'm so glad you are alright!"

"Can't breathe!" Tony spluttered. Rudolph chuckled but then turned serious.

"Tony, where is Ember." At the mention on Ember's name Anna released Tony.

"Yes, where is she?"

"Rookery took her." Tony replied in a small worried voice.

"What? We have to go now!" Rudolph said.

"But the sun!" Tony protested. Anna shook her head.

"We have to tell mother and father right away."

*Back to Ember* (normal)

I winced as Rookery tightened his grip on my throat slightly. I only had a small margin of error if I wanted to keep my life. If I kicked at him before he staked me, he would stake me or strangle me. But if I waited until the few crucial seconds before he staked me, I could escape…or he would strangle me. Just great. Rookery's hand twitched and went to plunge the stake into my heart. I kicked at his hand and sent the stake off course…right into my injured arm. I tried to stifle a scream, but it was cut off in a gargled mess as Rookery began to squeeze the life out of me. My vision went fuzzy and I clawed at his hands. But I wasn't about to give up. I kicked him in the stomach with a fury, knocked the wind out of him. He dropped his hand and I fell to the floor coughing. I recovered faster than he did and stood up. He recovered a few moments later. I will not stoop as low as kicking a man while he is down. Rookery sent a fist flying at me; I dodged and sent one of my own flying back at him. It hit home at his jaw. But a steel-toed boot met my ribs. I clutched my side in agony. I had barely enough time to react when Rookery's fist contacted my cheek with enough force to sent me flying. I landed on the floor in a pile.

"Looks like the vampire girl is not so tough after all." Rookery sneered, but then rage began to bubbled up like white-hot knives in side me. I picked myself up and wiped the blood away from my mouth. I ran at Rookery, ignoring the stabbing pain in my side, and let loose my wrath. I fought with all I had, and then I had him by the throat. I was going to end him like he was going to end me, but in a pang of mercy I just knocked him out.

"Your dieing day will come soon enough, Rookery. But not by my hands." Then I left.

*Back to Tony*

Tony burst into the cellar followed by Rudolph and Anna. He ran into a pile of boxes in his haste. Everyone who was asleep now was looking angrily at Tony.

"What is the meaning of this?" Fredrick growled.

"It's Ember. Rookery captured her!" Tony said in a hurry.

"That foolish girl, always getting into trouble-" Fredrick started but Gregory jumped up.

"What? Are you absolutely sure?" He growled out of fear. Tony solemnly nodded. "I'm going after her!" Gregory started to run for the door that lead outside.

"No! The day light!" Freda and everyone else yelled.

"I don't care!"Gregory hissed. Freda tried to clam him down.

"Gregory, darling, she can hold her own. Ember is a strong girl. And if her life was truly in danger she would call you." She reasoned. Gregory looked at his family and sighed a growl.

"Fine, but if she is hurt in any way I swear Rookery will pay with his life. " He clenched his fists and waited.
