It was Thursday night. I was on my way home from Moon's after finally being done with her costume. Ferb had stayed behind to work on the mechanics of the costume. Suddenly I felt a hand clamp over my mouth, and I was lifted away…

-Saturday Morning-

I woke up, and I didn't remember much. In fact I don't remember anything that has happened recently. All I knew was that I was in a strange place, and I wanted out. Nobody seemed to be around though, so I grabbed my cell phone. Apparently it was Saturday. Dang I missed Trick or Treating with Marissa and Ferb and Moon. Sigh, ah well. Saturday...oh crap! Valley Scare! I then activated a feature on my cell phone.

"Where to?" a robotic female voice said.

"Go to Marissa," I announced clearly.

"Marissa...located," the voice said, and I found myself in Moon's truck, on the way to Valley Scare.

"Um, don't look now, but your bro just appeared in the back seat of my truck," Moon said.

Marissa turned her head to look at me, and I waved. She seemed like she was a little surprised to see me. However it wasn't long before she smiled. I always did like seeing her smile.

"Hey, bud, where have you been?" she asked, "I haven't seen ya since Thursday night and you disappeared."

I cocked my eyebrow, puzzled, "Really? Huh, weird, I don't remember that."

Huh, that's odd. I don't remember anything about what happened other than I left Moon's to go home then next thing I knew I was in that strange place. I'd heard voices, but I didn't pay attention to them. We all just shrugged off the subject till we got to Valley Scare. We were somewhat in the shade until Moon convinced Marissa to go on the Power Tower (a ride, Marissa swore she'd never go on). We stood there in line and Marissa was a little cold. She even curled up in her coat like a hermit, to which Moon laughed at. Suddenly I felt a burning sensation on my arm. I didn't let Marissa know it of course since she worried about me. I quickly whipped out my cloak from when I was a vampire after Victoria bit me...but that's another story. I wrapped it around, and (due to some tampering) my cloak started to warm my body. Of course Marissa believed that's why I wrapped it around myself, to get warm, but Moon saw right through me…

The sun burned my skin…

Time passed, and my stomach growled at me. I was thirsty. It wasn't that kind of thirsty though, it was a thirst for blood. What do you expect from a vampire? I had to ignore it though since I didn't wanna hurt Marissa (who ironically was the most delicious smelling) or the others. Fighting off wasn't easy though, and a hiss escaped my mouth every once in awhile. Marissa was concerned. I could tell from her expression. I had to hide it. The day went by, and everything was fine. I fought my thirst, had some fun. Marissa got cold but she got a big plush, so that helped a lot.

Then the sun set…

I couldn't control it anymore, my thirst had multiplied by a lot. I didn't take off my cloak because I didn't want them to see me like this. I realized I had to get away from them and sink my teeth into something...but what? It was then I saw something from the corner of my eye...more vampires. Then it hit me!

I was bit by some vampires called The Brotherhood. They'd wanted me to be a member of their coven and they'd taken care of me Thursday night and Friday. They'd even taken me out feeding Friday night. Luckily it wasn't near Marissa and the others so I didn't hurt them. It was then I realized they were here to feed, and I couldn't let that happen. With as many of them as there were, Marissa wouldn't stand a chance against them...not without a proper watch at least. Without making a sound, I followed the vampire to his victim. It was a woman...just a woman I didn't know, but she was human. The vampire lunged for her in the darkness, pulling her away. I admitted I, too, needed a drink. However I wasn't going to feed off an innocent woman. From the corner of my eye, I could see someone carrying a knife and I knew he was dangerous. He would kill half the people at the park if not stopped...as would The Brotherhood. First thing's first though. I gotta get my drink so I won't be ravenous for blood while protecting everyone.

I waited for the guy with the knife to come to a dark spot, and that's when I pulled him in, and I fed on him. He certainly filled me up, and I was careful not to let him scream for help. Did I feel guilty for killing? Of course I did! I don't like that my survival depends on the ending of another's life. I hated that, but at the same time I had to feed and he was dangerous. Eh...let's not talk about it anymore.

As the night continued on, I saved a majority of The Brotherhood's victims, but not all of them. Soon they caught on, and they gave me a glare. Luckily I had a gift that allowed me to see a person's past, present and future just by looking in their eyes. The leader's present showed me he was going to go after my sister to punish me for my bad behavior. I couldn't let that happen. Luckily I was the most familiar with my sister's scent. I was able to find her, and she had blinking gloves. The good news was that I could find her easier now and protect her by staying at a close distance so I won't hurt her. I then saw the rollercoaster, and I couldn't resist. With my vampire speed, and sped forward and went down the track of the coaster just for fun. I hadn't realized Marissa had seen me flash by. I had to be careful about that.

As the night continued, more shenanigans, caused by the Brotherhood, nearly hurt Marissa and Moon. I continued to keep a close distance from them. I had to fight some of the vampires still, and unfortunately I'd lose sight of Marissa. Luckily her gloves would accidentally turn on, and I'd find her instantly.

It was much later, closer to closing time. They'd gone on the Renegade. Suddenly I saw another vampire get on the ride in the cart in front of Marissa and Moon. I had to keep them safe! I rushed to the top of the track where the train would do its first large drop. I waited a bit and suddenly I heard a hiss and Marissa scream. I took that as my cue to jump on. My cloak billowed in the wind the speed of the coaster caused, and I fought the vampire. It wasn't too long before we got to the point where we'd be in the light soon, so we fled the coaster to finish the battle. He pinned me to the wall, but I was able to grab his wrist and throw him off.

"Make note of this bucko, mess with the innocent people of this park, shame on you. Mess with my sister? Don't. Even. Think about it!" I hissed, my red eyes probably giving off an ominous glow which seemed to be enough to chase him off.

"My little brother is a vampire and another vampire just tried to KILL us!" I heard Marissa scream as I approached them, "Hey, you guys okay?"

"Yeh, we're fine," Moon replied with a smirk.

"...Yeah, I'm okay," Marissa replied quietly, "Phineas...why didn't you tell us?"

"Well, these vampires called The Brotherhood apparently bit me on Thursday. I didn't remember until the night fell upon us. I knew The Brotherhood were feeding, and I knew I had to make sure you were safe from them...including me."

"Wait, so...they bit you, and you've been fighting them off all night?"

"Yeah, I've been able to save most of their victims, but not all of them."

"That's what the bloodcurdling screams were," Moon reasoned, and I nodded.

"Why didn't you just show yourself to us?" Marissa asked me.

I looked down, and I sighed, "Because if they saw me with you directly, they would have taken you to get to me. Let's just say I haven't been the vampire they want me to be. Plus, I didn't wanna hurt you. Sorry to say, but your blood smells really good."

"I'm not sure how I feel about that…" she replied, "So...you were watching over me from a distance?"

"Yep, I panicked when I lost sight of you, but then your gloves go off, and I knew where to find you."

She smiled, and hugged me for protecting them. I'll always watch out for her. After all, if I won't, who will?
