Chapter three:

Jack waited for Edgar to reply. He heard breathing on the other line which meant that Edgar was still there.

"Hello?" He whispered into the receiver.

"I heard you," Edgar growled. "Who are you?"

"My name is Jack…"

"I heard that!" Edgar snapped. "Who are you?"

"I am staying in a house with a half-vampire and an ex half-vampire,"

For a moment, Edgar went silent again. "You're that kid at Michael Emerson's little place."

Jack nodded but he knew that Edgar didn't see so he replied 'yes' and then explained what had happened the other night with Phineas and Sam.

"I don't have time for this," Edgar said. "Just stake Phineas yourself. I have a lead on a large group of vampires here."

"I tried staking Phineas," Jack defended. "Michael lectured me."

The line went dead and Jack sighed. He had to do something. He wasn't going to let Phineas roam around freely. He had almost attacked him in a blood lust. That wasn't safe! How could Edgar not agree with this?

He laid back on the bed. If only he could get some weapons.

He heard a noise outside of his window. Someone had thrown a rock up there. He looked out and saw two dark figures outside. He stared at them and then opened his window.

"Who are you?" He hissed.

"Jack Fisher," One called. He had a deep voice. "I'd like to speak with you. It's about that half-vampire in that house with you. Phineas."

"Who are you?" Jack called again.

"I'm Jason Colite, Vampire hunter and eldest of the Colite clan." He called back. "This is my brother, Roger."

"You're Vampire hunters?" He asked.

"Indeed." Roger called.

Jack took a deep breath. He looked around his room and then bounded to the door. He leaped down the stairs.

"Jack," Michael called. "Where are you going?"

Jack turned to Michael and took a deep breath. Michael was wearing a different outfit from this morning. Phineas sat on the couch staring at Jack with the same look. They both were wondering what was going on.

"I'm going for a walk," Jack said with a shrug. "I need a breather. It's not good for someone like me to be cooped up in a house."

He grabbed a jacket from the rack, looked to Michael as if to ask if it was alright to borrow, and then rushed out the door slamming it behind him.

He raced to the side of the house where his window should have been. Vampire hunters! Some people who will get rid of the nuisance! Phineas! His heart was pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe it. Someone would end up getting rid of Phineas for him.

He felt hands grab his back and he was pulled into the shadows of the house. Someone clasped a hand over his mouth. When he was about to think that he had made a horrible mistake, he was dropped to the ground in a heap.

"Hello, Jack Fisher," The taller boy who had dirty blonde hair, said. "I'm Jason Colite and this is my brother, Roger."

Jack stood up and held out his hand. "Nice to meet you. How did you know about me?"

Jason laughed. "My brother and I are friends with Mr. Edgar Frog. He called in a favor. I mean, we took his sister away from him."

Roger laughed. "But, that's a story for another day."

"Listen, Jack," Jason smirked. "We hear you're having a problem with Phineas."

"He attacked me, Sam Emerson baited him by wounding me." Jack explained. "Phineas could have killed me."

Roger tilted his head. "That doesn't sound like our dear old brother."

Jack tilted his head. "Your brother?"

"Phineas is one of the many that the Colite clan has taken in," Jason said. "We've taken in thousands with abilities like ours. We have built a hidden nation bent on destroying vampires. We took in Phineas because we knew he was like us but he was having issues with his vampire side. He asked us to take him out if he went rouge and now we will have to. If he's going to be attacking innocent humans like yourself, Mr. Fisher."

"Just call me Jack," Jack replied.

Jason nodded. "Well, let's get down to work now."

AN:

Okay, so this was a bit short. I have been having an issue with ideas. Please review. I would love some tips for this one. I wrote a prequel for this when chapter one was posted. The prequel was originally a birthday gift to one of the best friends I had. I decided to post it to the site. If you could read it, that would be great.

I'm looking for a beta for this. I don't know anyone willing. So, please tell me if you are interested. What do you think of the addition of Jason and Roger?
