It was about two o'clock in the morning when Mykalanne, Jaclyn, and I got found a suitable place to stay. Another abandoned church that was about a mile out of town. But we were surprised when we saw that Larten and Gavner were there waiting for us. Larten looked really beat up and Gavner didn't look that well either. " Guys, what happened?" I asked " Deidre, she left with Adam and the vampaneze. Alex, I think she turned Vampaneze on us." Gavner said " Damnit we better get up to Vampire mountain and consult the princes." I said " Mykalanne get your stuff together we're going to leave in a few minutes." Gavner said Larten was laying down on one of the pews. He had bruises all over him, and it looked like he had been cut by knives. Some parts of his long black cloak were missing, and it also looked like he had a limp leg when he walked. " How are you Larten?" I asked " I have felt better before. But a couple of vampaneze are dead thanks to me. So I actually feel pretty good about myself now." he said with a grin " Thats good." " Speaking of Vampaneze we captured one of them. I had stabbed him in the leg so he was pretty easy to capture." Gavner said " Where is he?" Jaclyn asked " Who's this Alex?" Larten asked " She's Mykalanne's sister. She came over to try and help us with Adam." I said "Oh ok. The Vampaneze is in that room right there. Be careful, he is a strong vampaneze." Larten said I pulled out my knife and slowly walked into the room. I went into the room and I saw a big Vampaneze tied to the wall. " What do they call you." I asked him " That is none of your business." He said " Alright, where are Adam and the Vampaneze." I asked " They're at your home." he said and then popped a pill. He colapsed and died. I ran to Gavner and I told him what the dead Vampaneze told me. " Well, that can't be true. Your home is in Vampire Mountain. Oh no. We better get there as fast as we can." Gavner said " Do you think we can ignore the Vampire rules just this once and flit up to Vampire Mountain?" I asked "No, it would do us better to just walk up there. That way we can spot for Vampaneze." " Ok we better head up there fast." I said We got all of our stuff packed and we started our journey to the mountain. We left the church and flitted to our first point. From there we would walk. " Its starting to snow." I told Larten " Yeah put on your sweater." he said while putting on his I put mine on when we came to our first rest stop. Those were places where coffins and blood are stored for the vampires on their way to Vampire mountain. WE stopped for about fifteen minutes and then we started again. " This is harder than the last time I went up." I said " I know, the conditions have deteriorated." he said We got up to our second rest stop. We went in and found the coffins occupied. By the dead. I heard something run by us and I pulled out my knife really fast just to find out that it was a wolf. I went over and started petting it. " I think we should keep going Alex. Theres no telling where those killers are at right now." Larten said We started again and we went about a mile when I smelled Vampaneze blood. I pulled out my sword so did Larten. " Larten behind you." I said Larten quickly spun around right when one of the killers tried to jump him. But instead of hitting Larten, he ran right into Larten's sword. " Alex, to your left." Larten said I spun to my left and sliced my attacker. " Lets go!" I yelled We started running until we got to a stream. " Ahh, finally we arrive at Vampire Mountain." Larten said We ran up to the base of a big mountain and slowly crept into one of the caves. " Wait Alex, I smell Vampire blood." Larten said pulling out his knife "Oh no." I said almost falling to the floor. We found the corpse or Gavner Purl on the cave floor. Right next to him we found Jaclyn and Mykalanne too. Jaclyn and Mykalanne were still breathing but their Master was dead. " Alex get Mykalanne and Jaclyn. I got Gavner." Larten said almost crying I wiped a tear off of my cheek and picked them both up and we started for the opening tunnel. " Address yourselves to the gate." A Vampire in green clothes said " I am Alex Hernandez, come to seek council." I said " I am Larten Crepsley, come to seek council." Larten said " Who are they that you are carrying." He said holding his spear up. " They were attacked by Vampaneze at the beginning of this tunnel. We must seek council now." I said " Do you vouch for them?" he asked " Yes we do." " State their names." " Mykalanne Van Driel come to seek council. Jaclyn Van Driel come to seek council." I said " Gavner Purl, deceased come to seek council." Larten said both of us starting to tear up. We saw that the guard too had started to tear. He let us both into the Mountain and had us escorted by two guards on our way to the hall of princes(i think thats what its called). We left Mykalanne, Jaclyn, and Gavner in the infermery as we headed up to the Hall. The princes had been away so only two of them were in attendence. Paris Skyle and Arrow. We both went up to the princes and bowed. " Hello Larten, Alex." The Princes said " Hello sires." we both said " State your business." the guard said " We ran into Vampaneze Sire. The Vampaneze Stanley Yelnats had killed one of Alex's close friends. So using my blood I brought her back to life. She had been a half Vampire for about four months when we started running into the Vampaneze Adam Walker. Gavner and I sent Alex and Mykalanne Van Driel to kill Adam and his followers. Alex's assistant stayed with us because of the danger. Gavner and I were heading to another town when we were ambushed by Adam. Deidre had kept contact with Adam so he always knew where we were at. She turned Vampaneze." Larten said " And where are they now?" Arrow asked " We had captured one of Adam's followers when they ambushed us.He told me that Adam and Deidre and the Vampaneze were at my home."I said " And where is that?" Arrow said " Vampire Mountain, is the only place I have ever called home." I said starting to cry Everyone looked scared and shocked. Arrow and Paris looked at eachother. " Order the lockdown of Vampire mountain now." The Princes said to the guard " For the time being I am going to promote you and Alex to Vampire generals. If you proove worthy you may stay in that position." Arrow and Paris said to Larten " Yes sire." Larten replied
