Second chapter in one day. God, I need a life. So, yeah, here's chapter 14.
A/N: I don't remeber how exactly the scene where Tony goes to McAshton Manor goes so this is my take on it. Yeah, here it goes :)
After the shopping day finished mom and I made our way back home. Once we got in the door I saw a frazzled looking Bob but no Tony. Without thinking, I ran up to his room. Once I made it up the steps I heard talking inside. It sounded like Rudolph and Anna talking to Tony.
"You were almost killed. Suffocated nonetheless," Rudolph shouted quietly, as to not alert my parents.
"The key word in there is 'almost'. As in, I wasn't killed, so don't overreact. And whatever you do, don't tell Arianna," Tony said as I made my grand entrance.
"To late. Explain. Right now, unless you want to be part of the undead completely," I said walking up behind Anna.
"Rookery was at the McAshton's today too. I was snooping around like you told me to and I fell into an open coffin. Rookery called me a little bloodsucker and shut the coffin lid on me," Tony started out. "Then I started to freak out but then I thought about what Anna said about whistling. So I whistled and her and Rudolph showed up and saved me."
"Wow. Wait, why were Rookery and Lord McAshton looking into a coffin?" I asked. I felt arms wrap around my waist and I leaned back into Gregory's cold embrace.
"Lord McAshton said the it was where they laid Elizabeth after the town staked her," Tony grimaced when the Sackville Bagg family flinched at his words, "But then the coffin was empty except for some dust and old garlic.
"Then I looked around a little bit more and something metal caught my eye. I reached over and had a vision, I saw the town chasing Elizabeth and Von through the town. Then I saw them take Von down, but Elizabeth kept running. She had that stone you guys were looking for around her neck. Then she went into some house that looked weirdly familiar and the stone inside under the floor," Tony said all in one huge breath.
"Oh my goodness, you saw all that?" Anna asked, obviously awestruck.
"Yeah, but it wasn't really clear. Like I'm not sure where the house is or anything. I could have done so much better," Tony said, looking down at his shoes.
"Don't think that way, babe," I said pulling him to me and kissing his head lightly. "I have a question. Who're Elizabeth and Von?"
"Von is, or I guess was, our long lost cousin whom, until recently, we thought was killed at sea. But apparently he washed up here and was found by Elizabeth McAshton and he bit her, turned her into a vampire, and they were both eventually staked," Gregory said from behind me.
"Tony, Rudolph, and I kept going deeper into the catacombs where the original coffin was. Once we got in pretty deep, Rudolph and I couldn't go in any deeper. There must have been some kind of spell on the tomb, one that kept any vampires from entering, but Tony went inside by himself," Anna said glancing at Tony lovingly.
"Tony, you guys went inside those catacombs by yourself. Wait, Tony you went deeper into the catacombs, when there was a spell blocking them from entering, by yourself? And you guys let him?" I asked, the anger in me rising slightly.
"Arianna, you're overreacting, Tony's fine. Anna and Rudolph are fine. Everything is fine, alright?" Gregory asked, rubbing my hipbones with his hands through my shirt.
"Alright, fine. Tony did you find anything inside those catacombs?" I asked, looking at Tony. I couldn't help be settle down, what with Gregory rubbing my hips like that, god that boy had magic fingers.
"No, Rudolph heard Bob shouting for Tony so we all ran out," Anna said, smiling slightly. Yep, I could definitely see Freda in this child.
"Okay. Well it's getting late. Tony time for bed. Vampire children, it's time for whatever it is you guys do at night. Gregory, you're coming with me," I said as I started for my room.
When I looked behind me, I saw Anna giggling and Rudolph gagging. I smiled and kept walking pulling Gregory behind me, when he was inside with me he shut the door. He walked up behind me and pulled my back to his chest.
"You want to sneak into the McAshton catacombs don't you?" he whispered into my ear.
"Gosh, you know me way to well," I said, nestling myself back into his chest and grabbing his hands in mine.
"Yes, but we're going to have to wait until my parents and your parents are asleep or otherwise engaged. Then we will go to the catacombs," I said, whimpering as he kissed on my neck.
"Yes, but what to do until we go?" Gregory murmured into my ear, his accent thick in my ear again. His breath hot on my neck.
Yeah, it was so going to be a short wait.
Yeah, there's another chapter. So Review?
