"Alex." Justin called peeping his head in his sister's room, she gave a nod inviting him in. "You okay?" He sat next to her as they sat on the floor.
"Yeah." She gave a nod before she turned to look at him. "What was wrong with me last night?"
"I don't know, but you were scary." Justin caressed her head.
"Did I try to bite you?" Alex asked unsure of what she did last night. It seemed like a dream to her, though she knew it wasn't
"Twice." Justin held up two fingers with a smile, assuring her it was okay.
Alex chortled and shook her head. "Apology signed, sealed and delivered."
"Apology accepted." Justin pulled her into a warming hug.
"Justin?" Alex said in a soft voice, holding her head down. "Am I a vampire?"
Justin took a deep breath and straightened up. It finally hit her. "Yes." He nodded.
"Am I still a wizard?" She kept her eyes on the floor.
"No." He shook his head.
"Am I a werewolf." She finally raised her head and looked at Justin.
He gave a hard sighed and cocked his head to the side. He did not know the answer to that one. He only knew what he saw in movies, that if a werewolf bit or scratched a human they would become one of them, but that was only in movies, TV shows, and fictional book.
He knew of the Loogaroo, another breed of werewolves. Though to be a Loogaroo you have to be born a Loogaroo. You cannot made a Loogaroo. If they attacked someone, the person they attacked would be eaten, left for dead or just have a lot bite marks and scratches.
He knew of the Lycans, yet another breed of werewolves, but they were vicious than the Loogaroo. They were like vampires, which means you could become one (by scratched or bitten) if they let you. They go by numbers, so they love to recruit.
With all of his studies on the wolves breeds, he never got around to werewolves. What he knew about them was what he saw on TV.
All he knew about is that Mason was a werewolf, but he didn't know what breed he belonged to. Was he Loogaroo, Lycan, or just a regular werewolf like Isabella?
So without knowing much he just gave Alex the best answer he could come up with.
"I don't know." He sighed. "I haven't read much about werewolves. If I knew what breed he was I could tell you." He breathed and licked his lips. "Do you know anything about Mason that can help with this situation?"
"All I know about Mason is that he was a werewolf and he is probably a lot older than 300!" Alex started to play with the bottom of her all white pajama pants that matched her all white Hello Kitty pajama shirt. "What does his breed have to do with this?" She stretched.
"There are many different werewolf breeds. Some breeds you ohave to be born into and some are like vampires and some are just people who can turn into wolves." He explained.
"Well I don't know why type of breed he was. I didn't have enough time to find out. So much went on that day. I found out he was a werewolf, we found Juliet, Mason proclaimed his love for Juliet, we broke up, he came back, we went to Transylvania, he attacked you then Juliet, then he attacked me. I never got a chance to see if he really loved me." This was all said with no emotion, but the look in her eyes was hurt.
"If he loved you he wouldn't have attacked you." Justin put her arm on Alex's shoulder letting her lay her head on his shoulder and caressed her arm.
Alex sighed as she watched the sunshine into her room through the closed curtains. She let her eyes shift to the side before tilted to her to face her brothers face. "How are we going to tell mom and dad?"
"We'll tell them about it like we always tell them." He looked at Alex.
"Lie through our teeth." Alex raised her brows and glared at Justin.
Justin laughed, "Tell the truth." He then kissed her forehead.

"A VAMPIRE?" Jerry shot up from his chair in the family room. He stared at his daughter as she gave him pleading eyes. His chest heaving as he took his eyes off Alex and looked to Justin. "How did this happen again?" He asked ready to explode.
Justin took a deep breathaws he stood in the middle of the floor. He was now the center of attention. He told his parents, and Max what happened in Transylvania and what happened when they came back. Theresa stood in awe as Jerry was ready to hunt Mason down and Max was excited.
"Oh man this is great." Max shouted in excitement. "Alex is like a werepire."
Everyone turned their attention to Max, not even fazed anymore with his random actions and words. They just shook their heads. Jerry was about to speak when Max interrupted
"This is just exciting. We get to have a werewolf vampire thanksgiving. I mean how great--"
"Max." Alex called in an irritated manner.
"What?" Max replied.
"Be quiet." Alex said through clenched teeth and turned her attention to her father.
Jerry shook his head at his son and turned back to Alex. He eyes made direct contact with her bright brown eyes. All of his anger and feelings disappeared. He gazed lovingly into his daughters eyes and smiled. Something was coming over Jerry. His eyes panned down to the bottom of her low cut blouse. If he tilted his head just a little he could see down her shirt. He was becoming mesmerized by his sister. His eyes scanned the rest of her body before they made their way back to her eyes.
"Daddy!" He watched her soft lips speak that word and he almost melted.
Justin caught on and waved his fingers in his fathers face.
"Oh!" Jerry snapped out of his trance and Justin gave a look to Alex, who just smiled.
Jerry started talking about how he think they could mange living with a vampire in the family. While that was going on Justin and Alex were having a conversation of their own.
"Alex it would be nice if you didn't try to seduce every man in this family." Justin whispered.
"It would be nice if all of the men in this family weren't subjected to manipulation." Alex retorted.
"Don't have sex with dad!" Justin said firmly.
"Ew!" Alex frowned.
"Or Max." Justin eyes widened.
"Gag me please." Alex chortled.
"Or me!" Justin said almost regretting those words came out his mouth.
"Now you're being selfish." Alex smirked crookedly.
"Alex!" Justin stomped.
Alex laughed then sighed as she listened to what her father was talking about.
"We'll just have to move Alex into the basement and Harper into Alex room."
"Now I have a problem!" Justin raised his hand. "Do you know close Alex and my room are." He said hoping they got the point. "We are right next to each other." He pointed to himself and Alex. "How do you know Alex wants to move into the basement and if Harper agrees to it."
"To what?" Harper said cheerily walking in from the sub shop. "Are you guys having a family meeting without me?" She walked over to Theresa. "If Harper agreed to what?"
"Me moving into the basement and you moving into my room, which is right next to Justin." Alex brought Harper up to speed.
"I'll take it." Harper said excited raising her hand.
"I'm in." Alex mirrored Harper but nodded instead of raising her hand.
"I'll help you move your stuff." They said in chorus as Harper ran up the stairs and Alex ran down the stairs.
Justin crossed his arms showing he wasn't happy at all about the new living arrangements.
"Don't be mad Justin." Jerry patted his shoulders. "This way we know Alex won't accidentally kill herself by leaving the window opened at night."
"Plus she needs the extra space for her coffin and blood drain." Max added as they all gave him a funny look.
Just then they heard someone coming down the stair. "Wait." Harper said at the bottom of the the stairs and over to Jerry. "Just why are Alex and I switching room?"
Justin turned around to Harper and took a deep breath. "Alex is a vampire."
Usually this would have freaked Harper out, but she was getting used to finding out weird about this family. Though it didn't register completely what Justin said.
"Oh!" She nodded then ran back up the stairs.
Justin sighed and looked at his watch and started to count down. 1-2-3!
"ALEX IS A VAMPIRE!" Harper charged down the stairs. "AAAHH!" She spazzed out then fainted and since she was scared of fainting. She jumped back up and screamed again. She caught her breath and calmed down.
Until she saw Alex come up the stairs with a box in her hand. Harper screamed again and fainted then jumped back up screaming and spazzing out again and then fainted into Justin's arm, this time she didn't jump or scream because she she opened her eyes she saw Justin and smiled.
Justin then dropped Harper and back away.
Alex looked at her friend then looked at Justin. "You told her didn't you?" She gave him a mean glare and Justin just shrugged.
"YOU'RE A VAMPIRE!" Harper shot up from the floor pointing at Alex.
"SO YOU'RE WEIRD AND FAINT A LOT!" Alex shot back.
"How did this... When did... Why... Alex! Justin!... Ooh Juliet!" Harper became angry when she thought of Juliet.
"Calm down." Alex shook her head. "I'll tell you everything while you help me pack." She grabbed Harper's arms and pulled her up the stairs while Harper screamed.
Justin, Theresa, Jerry and Max just watched then shook their heads. They went back to their daily routine. Jerry and Justin headed to the sub shop. Theresa went into the kitchen. Max sat on the couch and watched TV. The usual.

Later the day Alex put the finishing touches in her new room. Why didn't she think of this months ago? Still things worked out for the better. Alex now has the basement and Harper has Alex's room. Harper is one step closer to becoming Harper Finkle-Russo!
Alex put her hand on her hip and looked around her room, nodding her head before she flopped down on her bed. Before Alex could get comfortable, she jumped when she turned around to see Juliet.
"What are you doing here?"
"Just checking up on you. Seeing how your first day as a vampire is going."
"Well my parents were calmer about it than I thought. My mom is still a little shock though. So you can say it's all good."
"Okay good." Juliet smiled with nod and pulled out a flyer.
"McGreenry's Coffin Shop?" Alex read the headline and Juliet gave a nod. "Why are you---" Alex then gasped. "No!" She looked at Juliet. "You mean." Alex frowned with her mouth gaped open.
"Yep. Coffin shopping!" Juliet smiled. "We're going to buy you a coffin." She put the flyer on Alex bed.
"Why?" Alex asked suspiciously.
"No #1 Rule to being a vampire. You must sleep in a coffin." Juliet informed. "We really started enforcing this rule when a lot of vampires forgot to close their windows at night. We lost a lot of vampires that way."
"Oh!" Alex nodded as she now know why vampires slept in coffins.
Alex concluded that Mr. McGreenry was either a vampire or a guy who sold coffins to vampires as they made it to the coffin shop.
Inside he fitted Alex for her coffin and asked her how she wanted it design and what she wanted on the inside. He told her it would take about a day or two to be ready and delivered. He didn't charge the vampires, because he wanted to keep his life. Alex now knows he isn't a vampire.
After returning home Alex thanked Juliet as they hugged goodbye. Before leaving Juliet shut the blinds on the windows in the basement.
Moments later Justin comes down the stairs bumping his head on the pipe. He rubbed his head as Alex laughed. He jogged down the other steps and saw the flyer laying on the floor.
"So they do sleep in coffins." He said holding the flyer in his hand.
Alex sat at the head of her bed, shaking her head at Justin with a slight smirk.
