I was having the most peaceful sleep ever, that was until Tony came running into my room and began to jump up and down on my bed. I reached up and pushed in away, he fell back onto my bed laughing and said,

"Dad wants to know if you're coming to work with us."

"No way dude. Sleep for mere mortals such as myself."

"It's eleven."

"Liar."

"It could have been." I smiled into my pillow. "Don't you want to fine the stone?"

"Dude, your quest."

"You agreed to help, besides it's for Gregory too."

"I don't care if he's vampire or human."

"Where is he anyways?"

"Tony dude, I don't know. He's more likely in the den, but I want sleep, go away."

"He's not."

"Look in my wardrobe then."

I felt the bed tip has he walked over it then I flew up in the air when he jumped off. Little foot steps slowly padded across the floor the door creaked open. After a few moments the door shut and he jumped on the bed with his face inches away from mine.

"What?" I mumbled.

"Why is he in there?"

"Waiting for a thanks, which he's not going to get."

"Why?"

"Aren't you supposed to going to work with dad?"

He nodded and ran out. I laid there for a few moments but decided Tony had woken me up too much to sleep any more so I decided to get showered and dressed. After I was dressed I set off in search of food but has I passed my wardrobe Gregory grabbed me and pulled me in tackling my neck once again but I happily allowed it. The tiny bites soon turned into kisses and he found his way to my lips.

He always seemed to make me loose track of time, when I had resurfaced it really was eleven. I headed straight for food, I was so hungry my stomach hurt. Once in the kitchen I grabbed an apple then looked around for more but movement outside the window stopped me. Two people under a red blanket with a helmet on and tinfoil around their ankles. After a few seconds of looking I ran after them.

"Hey, who's under there?"

"Rudolph and Anna." Rudolph said.

"Don't you think it's a little dangerous for you guys to be playing horses out in day light?"

"Tony's in trouble."

"What? I'm coming too."

Rudolph began chanting 'left, right' has we walked but we didn't get very far before dad turned up with an angry look on his face and walking towards us.

"Tony, what do you mean by running off today?"

Rudolph just shrugged so I thought I best help them out.

"Dad, that's Rudolph."

"Oh and I suppose this is Tony." Anna nodded, "This isn't your fault Rudolph but when you get home tonight Tony were having a serious talk." Anna nodded again. "Ok, well go one play your game."

With that we all practically ran out of the gates and to the McAshton place. Instead of going through the front we head around back to an old building with the door kicked in. As soon as we stepped inside Anna and Rudolph stripped off their disguise and ran down to a tomb with me closely behind. Has they removed the lid Tony shouted,

"Dude you heard me."

"I heard you my hero and I wrote you a poem." Anna said.

Has she found somewhere to stand Tony and Rudolph went off into there own conversation ignoring her. She seemed not to notice.

"Who did this to you?" Rudolph asked.

"Rookery. We better find Elizabeth's tomb before he does."

"Who's Elizabeth?"

"The last holder of the stone, the woman in my dreams."

"Your face saw I in the cemetery, filled with fright…" Anna started,

"Rudolph look." Tony called over her but she continued.

"For the night was scary, still you faced the foe undaunted, it was then I knew…"

"It wants to lead us somewhere."

I could help but smile at the fact both boys were oblivious to Anna yet she continued speaking. I followed the boy's through a gate.

"Behind the pillar look." Rudolph called.

I could just hear Anna shout something then run to us. I couldn't help but feel a tiny bit sorry for her. Rudolph went to look what it was behind the pillar.

"A door."

"A secret passage." Tony followed.

"This could lead to Elizabeth's grave."

I stood just outside the passage waiting for Anna who had wondered off. Tony and Rudolph were just stood inside, Tony holding the tiniest light ever.

"I wish we had a better light"

At that point Anna walked passed me with a very big light.

"Rookery seems to have left this behind." She smiled at Tony.

"Thanks."

Tony and Rudolph disappeared into the tunnel.

Anna's smile faded has she looked at the ground, I wondered over to her and wound my arms around her and leaned close to her hear.

"Don't worry, boy's are slow. He'll figure it out one day."

She smiled at me. "I hope so."

"If Gregory managed it I'm sure he can. You just have to remember he really has been on this world 10 short years."

"Yeh, you're right."

She skipped on after the boy's and I followed on.

I had no idea how long we had been down there but I was cold and I had fallen over lots of times so I was covered in cuts and bruises. Rudolph and Anna suddenly came to a sudden standstill but Tony didn't seem to notice.

"What's wrong?" I asked them.

"We can't go any further." Anna sounded worried has she touched an invisible wall.

"Why not?" I couldn't help but feel stupid. Tony had taken his place next to me.

"There's something ahead." Rudolph answered.

"Some kind of curse." Anna said.

"Tony, you and me first then."

I grabbed to Tony and we began to walk down the path with Rudolph and Anna closely following. Not far down there was an opening with another tomb inside.

"We found it." I called.

"Go see what it is, but be careful." Anna shouted back.

Tony and I went over and Tony shone the light on it.

"There's something written on here."

"There usually is something written where on graves or tombs."

Tony gave me the stink eye then read "Caveat Vamptor."

"Let the vampires beware, it's a curse." Rudolph answered the unspoken question.

Tony grabbed the chains that surrounded it and began to pull on them.

"Stupid chains, break! Break! Come on!"

Suddenly, a rumbling noise filled the room and the ground above us began to shake and crumble. Grabbing Tony I moved out off the way have a large drill came through the roof and down onto the tomb tearing the chains apart. When the drill disappeared Rudolph and Anna came running towards us and helped pull the remains of the chains away, the we all grabbed the sides of the lid.

"One, Two, three, pull." Rudolph said.

Removing the lid revealed two people, a man and woman, with stakes sticking out of their hearts. They looked sort of peaceful.

"It's Elizabeth." Tony said.

"Uncle Von, farther was right, he did come here." Rudolph pointed out.

"Oh how romantic. Their love preserved forever." Anna said in a dreamy voice.

"The stones not here." He almost shouted while holding a peace of string around her neck.

Suddenly he began to shack and whimper. He was having another vision.

"The stones in my room, no wonder I had those dreams."

He, Anna and Rudolph crowded together while he explained what he had seen.

I looked over at the two bodies and began to think about something. They had been laid here centuries and they haven't decayed or gone poof, they actually did look as if they were a sleep. In some sort of coma. I grabbed the stakes and began to pull. I could feel them move little by little until I nearly had them out.

"What are you dong?" Rudolph panicked voice sounded.

Falling back due to the stakes flying out of their chests I shrugged.

"I thought they would look more peaceful without them in."

Rudolph stormed around the tomb and stopped in front of me and I faced him so I had my back to died vampires.

"What happens if they disintegrate?"

"They haven't."

"Yet, but…"

His gaze went to something above me and I saw Tony and Anna seek shelter from him. Frowning I turned around and what I saw shocked and scared me. I was looking into the eyes of Von, next to him stood Elizabeth.

"Who woke us?" Von almost shouted

I could see Tony point at me from the corner of my eye. Von's eyes stayed on me but Elizabeth smiled while looking up at Von.

"I'm hungry."

"Uncle Von?" Rudolph said from behind me.

"Rudolph, Anna, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"Later, we have the stone, sort of. We will be human once again. Anna, take April, uncle Van and Elizabeth to the cliffs."

"What? No way. They haven't fed for three hundred years." I whispered.

"April is Gregory's human. You can't touch her." Rudolph said.

"But we're hungry." Elizabeth again.

"Anna, find them a cow."

Von and Elizabeth jumped from the tomb and Anna pulled me along with her, I was reluctant to follow. When we came back out of the old building it was pitch black. As we walked both Van and Elizabeth eyed my neck.

"You are Gregory's." I nodded. "In what way. Female companion or food."

"Err. Both."

"I'm surprised he hasn't left the family and gone his own way."

I let out a nervous laugh.

"We thought he would. He nearly did once or twice." Anna said.

The cows made Von and Elizabeth strong enough to fly, they did so but entwined with one another. I just held on tightly to Anna hoping she wouldn't drop me or let the two vampires next to us eat me, but they seemed to concerned with feeling the wind in their faces and been able to touch each other at long last after so long without each others touch.

When we touched down on the cliffs I ran straight to Gregory, who was spinning his father's neck-a-lace around, and hugged him from behind. I felt his spar hand stroke mine which were wrapped around him.

"So it is true, Gregory has found a mate."

Gregory spun around and looked at Von with a shocked expression, despite him been shocked the neck-a-lace kept spinning.

"Uncle Von." He whispered.

"She awoke them from their slumber." Anna ratted me out.

Gregory looked down at me. "I didn't mean to."

He smiled and turned back to the sea, I stood on my tip toes and kissed his neck then went to sit on a bolder just has a car pulled up. Dads car. Freda and Fredrick came out and Anna ran up to them.

"Mother, father we found uncle Von and Elizabeth's grave, April awoke them and Tony and Rudolph have gone for the stone."

"May their quest be fruitful. Thank you Gregory."

Gregory smiled at his farther and her began to spin the neck-a-lace faster in the sky. Fredrick turned to Von.

"Welcome back brother."

"It's good to be back. You don't seen too shock to see me."

"I am too excited. All these years and finally we are to be human." Fredrick smile and turned to Elizabeth taking her hand and kissing it. "Elizabeth I assume." She nodded.

Bats began to fill the sky and has they landed around my dads car they turned into vampires. Hisses and growls full the air.

"Fredrick."

I pointed to the car and he all but stormed over to them pulling them out of the way.

"Leave them alone, they are friends."

" Since when have they been friends?" One vampire asked.

Gregory sat next to me wrapping his arm around me and kissed my head has I dropped it onto his shoulder. After a few seconds he asked,

"Is what you said this morning true, you don't care if I'm a vampire or not."

"Yeh."

"What happens if we fail? We have another three hundred years waiting."

"I don't know, I become a vampire. I mean yeh, the thing we have may not last long but it's worth the risk right?"

"Yes, I think so."

After about an hour of waiting for Tony and Rudolph Fredrick looked disappointed and turned to his clan.

"After all of our wondering, all of our waiting, I have left our fait in the hands of two small boy's. It's all my fault, I won't even ask your forgiveness, I don't deserve it." He turned away.

"Tony's near." Anna said.

"Where?" mum asked.

"There." Anna pointed into the sky.

When mum and dads eyes landed on Tony flying in the sky they both said,

"Oh my god."

As Tony landed excitedly he waved to us all and when they touched down he ran to Fredrick holding a large red stone,

"I think you've been looking for this."

"The stone." Von said.

"Thank you my friend." Fredrick put the stone in the amulet.

"Tony!" Mum called.

"Mum, dad!" He ran to them and gave them a hug.

Gregory and the other vampires surrounded Fredrick has he said,

"Ab ovo in toto nil desperandum sine die."

A red light filled the sky and then a red line connected the amulet to the comet. The light disappeared has a blimp, dads blimp, raised up into the sky with rookery attached holding a light. He swung towards Fredrick and knocked the amulet out of his hands and caught it himself when he landed. Due to the light the vampires backed away from him.

"And you'll go straight to hell!" He shouted.

"That's it." Bob said.

Walking over to a laughing rookery dad took off his apron and hit him, spinning him around into the path of mums right hook. She then gave him a up cut and sent the amulet flying when Tony caught it. Rookery stumbled towards the edge of the cliff and I was feeling a little left out so I gave him a final push over the edge. He screamed an angry scream all the way down.

"Tony, you know what we want, wish it. You have to wish it now!" Rudolph shouted.

Tony closed his eyes and held the stone up to the sky. Has the light appeared the vampires got back into formation and then a red fog began to consume them all. Without thinking I shot forward and crushed my lips down onto Gregory's and his arms wrapped around me but then, he was gone. Just… gone. I tensed my jaw and tipped my head back to stop myself from crying. I would cry when I was alone, I knew that for a fact.
