The quiet of the day was broken suddenly by a shrill scream. Zachary bolted out of his coffin and sprinted to Katherine's room with a speed unimaginable. Danny woke up and banged his head on the coffin when he sat up too fast.
"Ow." He said while rubbing his head. He'd hit it with such brute force that there was a small fracture that was gone about a millisecond after it had come to be. After his casket fiasco, he made his way to Katherine's room and peeked in through the door.
The little redhead was in Zachary's lap with her head pressed against his shoulder as she cried. Zachary was petting her hair and running his fingers through the crimson locks while rocking her slightly. Katherine, through her tears, choked out something in a desperate voice.
"Zacky... P-Promise me th-that you will never leave me alone." Zachary's eyes widened and he paused in his ministrations. "Zacky! Please promise me!" The girl suddenly screamed and reached up for Zachary, making sure that he was still there. Zachary took both of her small hands into his own and nudged her head with his chin for her to look at him, to which the young girl complied and looked up at Zachary's shining red eyes, meeting them with her own teary ones.
"Not now, nor ever, will I, Zachary Crow, leave you, Katherine. I promise." He told her with a steady voice and held up his pinkie. Katherine smiled and wrapped her smaller pinkie around his own. She looked up at Zachary with her eyes brimming with tears.
"Pinkie promise." Katherine whispered softly. Danny smiled and went to his coffin. Katherine was in good hands.

Danny came down the stairs and into the main hall, stretching and yawning but fully dressed and prepared for the night. Surprisingly; Nathaniel, Ciera, Winnie, and Laur were all there. But something was wrong. All of their faces were downcast. Even Katherine, who was sitting on Zachary's lap in a large chair, had a sad look on her face. Zachary looked frantic while he put Katherine's hair in a fishtailed braid, a French braid, a normal braid, and back again. Then suddenly, Danny knew. It wasn't through mental communication or anything, but he knew.
"When is Tarok's army coming?" He asked anxiously. None of the vampires met his gaze. After a while, Nate looked up with solemn eyes.
"Tonight."

Just a filler, but BE PREPARED FOR WHAT IS NEXT~! :D
Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, we have hit our climax.
