A/N Thank you all for reviewing! I'm sorry that the first chapter was short. Actually it was only a prologue, and I was going to post more but my computer was acting screwy. I'm glad you liked it, I will post more and I would also like to thank the following that were kind enough to send reviews...
Sarah-Anna: you rock...It will get a lot longer, once you get to chapter 15ish you'll wish that they were shorter.
RiRiana: Thank you both of you for reviewing and I promise to write lots more, now back to the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own this. Now on with the story!

Elle screamed. Then Arra did. Then Larten Crepsley...

What Elle saw was Arra wrapped in a blanket, and Larten wearing red checkered boxers and a tie for some odd reason.

Elle moaned saying "Aw you guys! Why now? When I'm home?... And I thought that you (Larten Crepsley) were supposed to be in Sicily for this week with the Cirque..."

Larten cleared is throat, then said "Well I was, but I decided that I should really be at home right now considering the trip that we'll be taking soon... tomorrow really, and by the way who are you?"

Arra spoke up this time saying, "She is my niece/ assistant. Her name is Elle, her parents died, so now she's my assistant..."

"Oh" Larten said. He had known that Arra had an assistant but had never actually met her, just pretty much heard about her from Arra.

Elle was completely grossed out that she had just seen her aunt's boyfriend, for the first time, in checkered boxers... It didn't bother her how she had just seen Arra... they did live together anyways. After a while of listening to Arra talk to Larten about her; telling Larten where she was from and everything like that. It got to the point where she even told him what Elle's favorite color was.

"Really, red, I'll keep that in mind." Larten said trying to act as interested as possible. Suddenly Elle sneezed, and Arra finally noticed that she was still there.

She said "Elle? You're still in here? Well anyways, what did you need in the first place?"

Elle spoke in a small voice, because she was still rather embarrassed for interrupting them said "I just wanted to tell you that I was going out to feed. And what do I need to pack for this trip you're planning?" she asked curiously, she had never been allowed to go on vacation.

'I hope we're going to Vampire Mountain. Mum and Dad never let me go with them, and I'd like to meet all their friends.' Elle thought

Arra said "Not much, just clothes for the trip. And when you go out tonight I want you to wear a thick wool sweater to keep warm, a raincoat, a pair of rubber boots, and an umbrella. I don't want you getting sick, but since you just sneezed you better take the bus, I don't want you to become more ill for Vampire Mountain."

"Vampire Mountain! I get to go? Really? Oh my goodness, oh wow, oh wow, oh wow. So do I bring robes instead of blue jeans and jumpers?"

"You can bring whichever, they'll have all sorts of clothes there so you don't need to bring much, maybe a nice dress for a fancy occasion, but you don't need to bring too much. Now, you go to Mr. O'Malley's house and ask Gladys for some blood. She'll know what you're talking about. But make sure you get a bag; it isn't good to walk around at night with a vat of blood. You'll look suspicious, and it just wouldn't be good. Alright, now please leave I have to speak with Larten alone."

"Yes, tons of talking I bet." Elle mumbled in a disgusted voice.

"What was that young lady?" Arra asked in a motherly voice.

"Nothing" Elle said in that all too annoying angelic voice that children use when they just said something nasty that would get them into trouble.

"Bring a couple liters back if you can." Arra said as Elle was closing and locking the door.

"Fine..." Elle said in an annoyed voice

Elle walked downstairs, put on all her rain gear, sweaters, and ate an orange for more Vitamin C. She walked to the bus stop and went to Harlem Ave. it would only be a matter of time before she would arrive at the O'Malley's house.

"Hello may I please see Gladys?" Elle said through the intercom from outside.

A stout woman in an olive green dress with a beige sweater over it came to the door.

"Ah, Elle, nice to see you; won't you come in?" Gladys said as she greeted her.

"Hello Mrs. O'Malley, nice to see you. I was wondering-" Elle began to say but was cut off by Gladys.

"You need some blood? No problem. Come this way darling. So how much do you need?" she asked

"About four liters; is that too much?" Elle asked in a worried voice.

"Not at all, it'll take just a moment." Gladys said

"How much will this cost? I only have four euros." Elle said in a worried voice.

"Well I ain't about to go off and charge you for someone else's blood. It's free of charge. May I ask why you need so much?"

"Um, uh, I don't think."

"Elle, I know you're a vampire, so don't worry about that. What I meant was, is Arra sick or something? I know you're only a halfy so you don't have healing spit yet, but why do you need so much?"

"Well some is for me and some is for uh, a trip."

"Are you going to Vampire Mountain by any chance? Great place, my husband loved it."

"Really? Mr. O'Malley was a vampire? So that's why you never had any kids. Well I better get going, I have to pack, and get a ton of sleep it's a long way to Vampire Mountain." Elle said "Bye Mrs. O'Malley. Thanks for everything!" Elle said as she left.

When she got home she packed, took a break and had some Hamburger-Helper™ as well as some blood. Then she finished packing, and took a bath. The last one she'd be able to take for a long time. Then at long last, it was off to bed.

When Elle woke up it was nearly seven o' clock at night. She washed her face, and brushed her teeth, and went downstairs. Arra, and Larten were waiting for her at the kitchen table.

When Larten saw her he sighed out the words "Finally..." they ate some waffles, and then left the house. They went outside, and Elle got onto Arra's back. They (Arra, and Larten) began to flit. They flitted all the way to London's countryside, which was where they were supposed to begin hiking.

The hiking took very long but finally they go to one of the passageways where Elle would begin her adventure at Vampire Mountain...

A/N Better? I hope so…
