A/N: Hey. Umm...okay, time's screwed up in this. I'm just gonna make Rudolph and Crystal teenagers. I know that it totally screws up time from the movie. I hope you can fogive me for that.

Disclaimer: I do not own the little vampire, and I'm not making a dime off of this.


"You're a vampire!" Crystal screamed. Rudolph frowned. "Are you afraid?" he asked. "Oh, no, I'm delighted. All my life I was sure Vampires existed. My friends always told me that I was imagining. But, now, I can prove to them, you really do exist!" she smiled. Rudolph suddenly grasped her hand tightly. "Crystal," he began. "There are more of us...but...you must never reveal us, or where we live." he said.
"But, why not? Why do you hide yourselves from humans?" she quiered staring him in the eye. "I will explain it to you, but not up here." With that, Rudolph grasped her in his arms, and flew downward, finally landing in the graveyard she had seen as they were flying.
He let her go, and he sat on a nearby rock, resting his head on his fist. Crystal worried for this poor boy. She sat down beside him, looking at his serious face. "There are more of you?" she asked at last, to break the scilence. "Yes." he answered her. "Our life hangs by a thread every day. You see Crystal, there are mortals who know of us. They...they hunt us, believing that we are angels of the devil. Doing nothing, but drinking human's blood." he said, his hands now completely covering his face. "You don't drink our blood...do you?" she asked.
Rudolph got up, and paced back and forth, then finally stopping and looking her in the eye. "No one in my close family does. But there are some of our kind who do...but we do not speak to them, and they do not speak to us either. They are a totally different breed. We prefer cow's blood ourselves. But these Vampires...who do drink mortal blood, and sometimes feast on mortal flesh...they leave traces of vamparic murder. Some people do not blame it on us...as for our hunters...they kill any Vampire they see. Mortal eater, or not." he finished, slumping back down on the rock.
Crystal didn't know what to say. She had found a real vampire, she could finally prove to everyone she wasn't making it up. She could just see the look on Fredric and Samantha's...and everyone's faces if she presented Rudolph. But to risk the lifes of an entire race? It wasn't worth it to her.
"Do not worry Rudolph" she said, putting her hand on his, and clasping it. "Your secret is safe with me." she said, smiling at him. Rudolph looked at her, straight in the eye. She could feel the same spell coming over her again. He put his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him. He hugged her, intametly. "Thank you" he whispered in her ear. He pulled away from her, staring deeply into her eyes.
"Dawn will be coming soon." he smiled. "I should bring you back to the orphanage." Crystal smiled up at him. She didn't want this moment to end, but she knew she had to go back, as much as she hated it.
------------------------------
They had reached the building of the orpahnage, just as the first colors of dawn appeared over the horizon. "Rudolph, when can we meet again?" Crystal asked. "I shall bring you again tonight to the graveyard. There, you will meet my family, if all goes well." he smiled at her. With that he morphed back into a bat, and fluttered off.
Crystal sighed, walked quietly back to her bed, trying not to wake up the other sleeping children. She knew, it would be another sunday, sitting through church for half the day, and then reciting bible verses. And then after that, would be chores. She loved God, so she knew church was the right thing to do, but it could get boring sometimes, and chores was always hard work. But atleast this time, she had something to look forward to.
--------------------------------------
That afternoon at lunch, Crystal sat there, rather quiet. She was dying to tell Samantha and Fredrick about her experience, but she restrained her need. She knew it would be alot more interesting than Samantha going on and on about Jessica's party. "Oh Crystal, you should have come! It was soooo much fun!" said Samantha. Crystal looked up from her mashed potatoes. "Oh yeah, I'm sure it was." she mumbled.
"Crystal, you seem very quiet." said Fredrick. "What's wrong with you?". Crystal narrowed her eyes at him. "Nothing is wrong" she said clenching her teeth. "Are you sure?" asked Samantha. "You weren't in you bed when I woke up last night. Infact, you were no where to be found." Fredrick said rasing as eyebrow. "You weren't looking at the ocean either...it's almost as if..you just flew off." Samantha said looking suspisously at her.
That was it. They were onto her, and if she wasn't careful she may have ended up telling the secret. She gathered her religous books, and stood up. "Where I go, what I do, and what I believe in, in my spare time, is not any of you two's concern. I'm glad you worry about me, but keep your nose in your own buisness!" she said firmly, and she marched out of the cafeteria.
---------------------------------------
The rest of that day, Crystal stayed far away from Samantha and Fredrick, and held off talking to each of them. She had to keep this a secret, and hanging around with them would only encourage her to spill it. Really, she felt sorry for both of them. They didn't understand what they did wrong, and why she was ignoring them. She knew that even though she was hurting them, she was doing the right thing. She cared for Rudolph very much, and knew she was protecting him, and the life of his enitre family. Atleast she could feel happy for herself about that.
