Wow, so many questions about Brad!!!!!! I...never knew you'd all be so interested in him. Anyway, here's another chapter for this story, it'll clear some things up about Brad.

The Oddest Baby-sitting Job EVER!!!!!

By Ryoken

"This is almost scary," Kain said to Ariel, who floated along side him. For the very first time in his unlife, Kain's sons were being GOOD!!! They hardly fought with each other, they were quiet, and didn't make any mischief at all. But they looked incredibly bored. "I've never seen them do this before...Are kids supposed to do this, Ariel?"

"Uh, I wouldn't know. But I think they need something to do," she answered. Melchiah suddenly ran up to his dad.

"Daddy, umm...can I ask you something?" He asked.

"Of course."

"When's Rico gonna come over again?" Kain looked at Ariel and Ariel looked at Kain.

"Well, I don't know...Heh, for once I don't know the answer," Kain said.

"Can she come over today?!" He asked hopefully.

"Well, uh, I-"

"Why not, Kain? They seem bored out of their minds and they've been as good as, well, as mature as any adult, I guess you could say," Ariel whispered. Kain looked at Melchiah who was looking hopefully at him. He nodded and Melchiah jumped two feet into the air, cheering. His brothers looked at him oddly.

"Rico's coming over!! Rico's coming over!!" Melchiah sang over and over again. His older siblings cheered as well.

"You sure that was a good idea?" Kain whispered.

"Well, they are happy. So why not?"

"So be it," Kain said, picking up the phone.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING, went the telephone.

"I'll get it!!" Rico shouted through her door. "Hello?"

"Greetings, may I speak with Rico?" She could hear loud talking in the background.

"This be she, what can I do for ya, Kain?" Rico said, sitting on the edge of her bed again.

"My sons ask your presence here." She stood up.

"They want me over there? After what happened last time?"

"They apparently don't remember it. Speaking of which, what DID happen the last time you were here?"

"Uh, sorry, I gotta go. I'll be over there in a jiffy!!" She said, as she slammed the phone back on the hook. "Whoa boy, they MUST not remember what happened last time." Rico picked up a few things, put them in her little backpack, and hurried out the door as she said "I'm going over to Kain's again, Ma, I'll be back before dinner, I think."

"Where IS she??" Melchiah said, yawning promptly. The six little vampires had been allowed to wait outside the gates for Rico, but she hadn't arrived yet.

"Maybe another vampire got to her?" Raziel suggested.

"Don't say that!!" Melchiah said.

"Well, it's possible."

"Hey, lighten up, you two," Turel said. Silence blanketed the little group.

"Rahab?" Melchiah said.

"Hmm?"

"Do you remember that guy from the other night?"

"Brad?"

"Uh huh. What was he?"

"I don't quite know, Melchiah. Maybe you should ask Rico when she gets here." As if on cue, there Rico appeared, waved her hand at them in greeting. Melchiah ran up to her.

"Hi Rico!!! Hey, hey, what is Brad?" He asked immediately. Rico looked stunned and merely looked at him.

"Yeah, and didn't he call you Reim?? Is that a nickname or something??" Raziel recollected. She then looked at him.

"Why...why do you want to know about...him?" She was finally able to ask.

"He tried to kill you. Or is because of something else?" Turel asked.

"We've never heard of anything like it. I don't think even Kain knows!!!" Rahab said.

"...Let's...get inside..." she said. They led her in, the guards staring at her awkwardly, into the throne room. "So what do you guys wanna do?" She asked, trying to change the subject.

In unison, they all said "Learn about Brad!" Rico sighed.

"All right, fine. But not here." They hurriedly pushed and pulled her into Dumah and Raziel's room. It was cramped, but they all managed to fit in comfortably.

"Now tell us!!" Dumah cried.

"PLEAAAAAAAAASE!?" They said together again, this time with those irresistible puppy-dog eyes. Again, she sighed.

"Brad is, well, a demon."

Oooooo's and ahhhhhh's came from the little crowd.

"What else, what else?!?!"

She scratched her head. "There...isn't very much else to tell."

They all began asking questions at once.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! One at a time!!"

"Why is he after you?" "Did you do something bad?" "If he's a demon, why does he look like a shadow?"

"Slow down, guys! No, I didn't do anything bad, I think he looks like that because it's easier to get around and hide, and well, that's something that I'm not sure of."

"We'll protect you, Rico!!" Melchiah cried out.

"Yeah, no demon is gonna get you with us around!!" Dumah agreed, flexing his muscles, but looking a tad silly in the process.

"You're all very brave." She smiled. "I feel much safer now." They grinned. "Well guys, what shall we do?"

"Idiot!!!" They shouted. She smiled and brought out the cards from her backpack.

Ok guys, I need your help and input!! I need ideas on what these guys can play cause I've no idea as to what games little boy vampire kids play. If we don't get some ideas in on this, I can't continue it! =,(
