Ava sighed. She had been at the library for an hour, but she found nothing. She figured that do to the age of this amulet that people would believe it to be folklore. She had yet to find much. She picked up the next: Scottish Vampire Folklore. She opened to the first page and started to skim the book. Finally, she found something that might be helpful.

Allen McSmith was a vampire enthusiast. He spent most of his life trying to invent a way to turn a vampire into a human. He also believed heavily in witches. His wife, Aileas, left him and their son, Daniel, after claiming to never see her husband during the night. He claimed to be out trying to find vampires. Some say he found a way to turn the vampires, others do not believe in this power. After he died of old age, his son disappeared never to be heard from again, believed to have taken the knowledge of how to turn a vampire with him.

It was not the most informative book, but it was something at least. It will be a while before Gregory can come out. She thought as she checked the book out of the library.

"Have a nice day." The elder librarian said.

"You too." Ava said smiling. She walked to her mother's car and got in.

"So, what did you get?" Her mother asked. Making a face, Ava showed her mother the book. Her mother never approved of the thought a vampire exists. Her mother sighed. "Ava, you skipped a day of school to get a book about something that doesn't exist?" Ava bit the inside of her cheek to stop herself from telling her mom that she was wrong.

"Why is it so wrong to believe?" Ava asked.

"Why would they even be created? Their supposed to suck people blood, killing them, Ava, they're demons." Her mother replied.

"You claim to be a Christian right? In order to be a Christian you have to believe everything the Bible says, and the Bible states that demons exist." Ava argued. "And if they existed, it would be possible for them to drink animal blood."

"There is nothing about demons in the Bible." Her mother claimed. Ava sighed.

"In Matthew 4:24 it says 'they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils.' In Matthew 8:16: 'When the evening was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed'. Those are just two out many verses that talk about demons." Ava said proving her mother wrong. Sarah (Ava's mother) was shocked she had no idea that her daughter knew anything about the Bible let alone could quote verses.

"Well, I have never seen a vampire. Have you?" Sarah countered. Ava almost laughed.

"No, Mom, I have never seen a vampire, but have you ever seen God?" Ava asked.

"Well, no-" Her mom started to say.

"Yet you believe that He exists." Ava interrupted.

"OK, were did you learn to debate like that?" Sarah asked.

"Only from the best." Ava said smiling. Sarah rolled her eyes.

"So what's for lunch?" Ava asked the second they got into the house.

"Whatever you make." Her mother replied. Sarah went to her room, where her computer was, and checked to see if the verses that Ava quoted were correct.

"Well that's just no fun." Ava murdered to herself. She walked over to the fridge and made herself lunch.

"Hello, Ava." Gregory said. He was lying on her bed, and he knew that she had not seen him, so he had trouble biting back his laughter when she jumped and let a small scream.

"Dang it, Gregory, don't do that." She said placing her hand on her heart.

"Sorry." He chuckled as he sat up. She rolled her eyes.

"Liar, but thanks for caring enough to fake it." She smiled and sat down next to him on her bed.

"So did you find out anything?" He asked suddenly serious. She nodded.

"It's not the world's most informative but, at least it's something." She grabbed the book of her bedside table where she had put after lunch, and handed it to him. He quickly found the page he needed and read it.

"You're right it's not much." He sighed and closed the book.

"Maybe Tony will have another dream tonight." She said trying to give him some hope. He shrugged and looked out her window. He suddenly smiled and looked back to her. "What?" She asked afraid to know what was going on in his head.

"I'm going to take you flying." He stood up, grabbed her hand, walked over to her window, and opened it. Ava looked at him like he was crazy.

"No, no, no, you see I have a thing about heights." She replied. He rolled his eyes.

"I will be holding you. You'll be fine." Ava pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Fine, but Gregory, if you drop me and I die, I will come back to haunt you. I swear I will." He smiled widened and he nodded. He held on to her hand harder and flew out the window. Ava closed her eyes and squeezed Gregory's hand. She could feel the cool night wind in on her skin, her hair flowing with it.

"You can open your eyes." Gregory said. She opened her eyes and gasped.

"It's beautiful." She whispered. Gregory nodded. They were flying over a small river that was surrounded by trees. The water was pitch black in the night. Gregory glided to grass next to the river and landed. Ava smiled. She walked over to the water, bent over, and stuck her hands in.

"What are you doing?" Gregory asked amused walking over to stand next to her.

"Seeing if the water was cold." She replied standing up and taking her hands out of the water.

"And was it?" Gregory was both amused and confused. Ava smiled and flicked her wet hands at him causing the water to fly onto his face and chest. He looked down at his shirt and then back at her. His eyes narrowed. "Oh, it's on." He said. He stepped towards her and she took a step back. At a speed that was too fast for her, he tackled her into the water. Ava quickly resurfaced and glared at Gregory who was floating less than a foot in front of her wearing a smirk on his face.

"Fine, you win." She said smiling. He brought his cold, wet hands and placed them on her cheek then, he leaned forward and kiss on the lips. Ava was frozen with shock for only a second before she started to kiss him back. He pulled away, flashing her a smile, and helped her get back onto the grass. "It's a good thing my mom is asleep or I would have some explaining to do." Gregory chuckled.

"Yes, but that would have been interesting to watch." Gregory sat on the ground. Ava did the same.

"Yeah, for you it would be fun, but not for me." She replied yawning. She leaned her head on Gregory's shoulder "How old are you?"She suddenly asked.

"298, why?" He replied. Ava shrugged and closed her eyes falling asleep soon after words.

Daniel held his dying father's hand. The old man coughed violently causing his flailing body to shake the bed. When the elder stopped coughing long enough to get a sentence out he took advantage of the opportunity.

"Son, take the fake amulet and hide it in your room." He paused to take a much needed breath. "Take the real one and put it in HER grave." His son looked at him in confusion, but then realization colored his face. He nodded.

"Yes, Father, I will." He replied. His father slowly closed his eyes and took his last breath, his once weak grip was no longer there. "Good-bye, Father." He said as he kissed his father's forehead. He let go of his hand.

Tony told the Sackville-Bagg and Ava of his dream the next night. They all looked confused. No one knew who the 'She' was.

"Wait, Tony when your family moved there were there already portraits hung up or maybe in the cellar?" Ava suddenly asked. Tony nodded confused.

"Where are you going with this?" Frederick asked. Ava looked at him.

"Maybe some of the picture are old enough to be a portrait of the 'she' we're looking for." She responded hopeful. Gregory looked at her surprised. "You know, I may be mortal, but I can think things through." She glared at him.

"I would have never guessed." He said teasingly. Ava stuck her tongue out at him.

"Can we look for the painting now?" Freda asked Tony. He nodded.

"OK, then let us go. We have no time waste." Frederick said standing up. Tony and Ana grabbed Tony hand and flew off. Gregory did the same to Ava.

"Remember I will haunt you, Gregory." Ava threatened. He rolled his eyes.

"You still don't trust me?" He asked in a slightly annoyed voice.

"I still think you're gonna eat." She stated teasing. In all honesty she knew Gregory would not drop her. He smirked and pulled her closer to him and kissed her neck.

"Good, because I never said I wouldn't." He replied in low voice. She shivered when his breath reached her throat.

"Wondrous, I'm being held by a hungry vampire." She said sarcastically. Gregory laughed.

"Yet you're not worried?" He asked. He could not understand how a human could stand to be around vampire knowing that at anytime they could turn on him.

"I don't worry because I trust you." He replied simply. He kissed her cheek. "Eyes on the sky." She said laughing. Gregory smiled again.

"What am I going to run into?" Gregory asked.

"A blimp?" She tried.

"HA! Because I could so easily miss a huge blimp?" He said laughing as he landed in front of the Thompson's house. They walked in quietly so that Tony's parents would not hear them. They walked all through the house until they reached the cellar where all of the previous family's things were. Tony pointed out where the paints were and handed everyone a flashlight.

Ava looked at the first painting she saw. It looked old, but she could barely see it because of the dust that was resting on it, so she took her shirt sleeve and wiped some of the dust off. The picture was of an older looking woman. She was beautiful from what Ava could see with the light from the flashlight. She looked for any sign of whom this could be when she saw the beginning of some writing on the bottom on the painting.

Aileas McSmith

October 21, 1694.

"Hey this is Aileas McSmith. There's a date from when it was painted." Everyone looked at it. Someone grabbed it and passed it to the rest of the family.

"Is this the one?" Ana asked holding the painting in her hands.

"How will we know?" Rudolf asked looking over his sister's shoulder to see the painting. Ana handed it to him.

"I think it's a safe bet, but where is she buried?" Freda asked. Ava gasped. Everyone looked at her like she was crazy.

"You're cemetery. I remember seeing this name now. I thought it was odd" Ava recalled.

"Figures, the amulet was under our nose the whole time." Gregory chuckled humorlessly.

"We don't even know that this is the grave we are looking for." Frederick doubted.

"It's worth a try." Freda tried to convince her husband.

"When is the eclipse?" Tony asked randomly. Everyone was silent trying to figure out what the date was.

"Tomorrow." Gregory answered.

"Then we had better hope that this is the right person." Frederick sighed. "Let's go." He commanded and once more Ana and Rudolf held Tony and Gregory held Ava as they flew to the cemetery.
