Mathias stood outside the door to Chris and Ramona's house. He smiled at his followers behind him and knocked on the door. Chris opened the door, dressed in an oversized tee shirt and gym shorts. The moment she saw him, her eyes went wide and she screamed for Ramona to arm herself. Mathias grinned and pushed Chris aside, then motioned for the others to follow him.

Chris shoved Mathias outside and screamed for Ramona again. She ran out, carrying three squirt guns full of Holy water and a few stakes, one being the stake Edgar gave her. She threw one of each to Chris and looked around. The others seemed to be waiting for Mathias to lead them.

"Christine, long time no see, darling." He laughed, "You look so much like your mother... That just makes everything better. You see, I might have... Harmed your mother, but I still need a queen..." Mathias looked Chris up and down, "And I think I might have found one. You see, what I have in mind is, Nikoli get's to feed off your sister, and I get the undying devotion of a young, beautiful girl."

Diego fidgeted and raked his eyes over Ramona. His fangs poked out and he began licking his lips.

Edgar was half way down the boardwalk when he jammed his hand into his pocket and felt a long, rectangular object. He pulled it out of his pocket and looked at it, "Shit!" He yelled. In his hand was the necklace he bought for Ramona, still in the jewelry box he bought it in. Edgar turned and began running down the boardwalk.

Eli stared at the two girls, laughing like a mad man. Diego dug his nails into the skin of his bicep and licked his lips some more. Soon he grew bored with Mathias's long, droning monologue. He glanced over at Ramona and screamed. He flew at Ramona and Chris screamed. She tried to run to her sister's side but Mathias grabbed her and pinned her to the ground.

Ramona tried to stake Diego but he twisted her wrist and she yelled. He leaned down to bite her, then he screamed in pain. There was a large stake sticking out of his stomach. Ramona rolled around and ran away. Behind her was Edgar, breathing heavily and watching as Diego exploded. Ramona ran over and barrelled into his arms, "Oh my god... Thank you." She sobbed.

He stroked her hair, "Guess I was in the right place at the right time, huh?"

"Well, isn't this touching." Mathias said, "Too bad it won't last, poor little Ramona's going to be a special treat for Nikoli, right?" He looked at Nikoli, "Well, get her."

Eli began laughing again and Nikoli screamed. He picked up one of the dropped stakes laying on the ground and threw it straight at Eli's chest. Still laughing, Eli began fizzling and died.

Mathias looked at Nikoli and shook his head, "I'm very dissapointed in you Nikoli, I'm giving you the chance to live forever and you don't seem very interested." He let go of Chris and walked closer to him, "Very upset indeed, you-"

Nikoli slammed him into the wall and screamed again. Ramona threw a stake to Chris, who ran towards the two fighting vampires.

In the confusion, Ramona sprayed Raphael with Holy water and watched him scream in pain, then Edgar threw another stake and it hit him, right in the skull. Ramona gagged at the noise and watched as he silently fell to the floor.

"Hurry." Nikoli grunted, "I'm not sure... How... Long I can hold... Him down!"

Chris nodded and jammed the stake into Mathias's chest. He screamed and exploded into a bright flash of light before slumping down.

Ramona squirted him in the face with Holy water, "For good measure."

Chris looked at Nikoli, who was once again human, "Thank you."

He pushed a long chunk of black hair out of his face, "You don't know how long I've wanted to do that."

Chris smiled and looked at him, "You're covered in blood. Um, you could take a shower here and spend the night if you want, since you helped us and probably don't have anywhere to go."

"Get those cookies Chris!" Ramona yelled as her sister led him to the bathroom.

Edgar took her hand, "Hey Ramona."

"Yeah?"

He took the jewelry box out of his pants pocket and held it out to her. He opened it and smiled, "Like I said, I really like you."

She stared at the necklace with wide eyes, "I really like you too Edgar."

"And I was wonderin... Well," He kicked the ground, "If you wanted to be my girlfriend."

She squealed and jumped, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, "Yes!"

Edgar regained his balance and hugged her middle, "Great!"

Ramona got down and Edgar took the necklace out of the box. Ramona lifted up her hair and he clasped the necklace around her neck. They kissed and Edgar looked at her, "This is amazing."

Ramona looked up at the moon and smiled, "And I have a feeling it's gonna get better."

Edgar kissed her goodbye, "I'll be back around tomorrow. Wait till Alan finds out I killed another vampire and you agreed to be my girlfriend."

She kissed him back and smiled, "I'll see ya tomorrow then. Bye Eddie."

"Bye Moana."

Ramona turned and walked back into her house. She heard Chris and Nikoli upstairs laughing. Her smile widened and she knew this was exactly how she wanted her life to go.

The next day, Edgar and Ramona sat on the porch, drinking lemonade and rocking on a porch swing.

Edgar had on a pair of dark brown corduroy pants, a sleeveless camo v-neck, and black leather boots.

Ramona had on a green half shirt, faded demin jeans, and braided rope sandals.

"When are they gonna get here?" She asked.

Edgar looked at his watch, "Soon, assuming they can follow directions."

As if on cue, two boys came into view. They walked down the path and Edgar smiled, "Yup, that's them."

"Hey." Alan said, waving.

"Hi guys." Ramona waved back, "Great to see you again Alan, and you must be Sam."

The other boy nodded, "Hi."

"Um, Chris is inside making lunch. Why don't you guys sit down while we wait?"

Alan sat down on the porch and Sam went to sit with them on the porch swing, but Alan grabbed him and pulled him down beside him.

Ramona poured two more glasses of lemonade and handed them to Alan and Sam.

"Took you guys less time then I thought it was." Edgar said.

"Yeah, that's because I had to drag Sam past some clothes stores."

"Hey!" Sam yelled, "I saw some cool stuff!"

Ramona laughed and Chris leaned her head out of the doorway, "Hey guys, lunch is almost done if you wanna come in and get ready."

After lunch, Alan and Sam left. Edgar and Ramona cuddled on the porch swing, looking at the sky. They rocked back and forth slowly.

Edgar pulled Ramona closer and they started kissing. He hugged her tightly and they sat on the porch, Ramona's head on Edgar's chest. They said nothing, just held each other. Ramona smiled, things were great, and she knew that her life was perfect.
