I found Kayla and Tony at the gate to the cemetery.
"We thought they had eaten you for sure." Tony said when I was in earshot.
I rubbed my wrists where Gregory had been holding me and shook my head.
"Not a chance." I reached for my iPod and realized it was still where I dropped it.
"Guys, I'm gonna go get my iPod."
"What? You can't go back there! They'll kill you!" Kayla said in a panic.
"It's a risk I'm willing to take." I said, and turned around.
"Wait! We're going with you!" Tony said and they followed me.
When we returned the father saw us almost immediately.
"What are you doing? Be gone, I say!"
"Chill, dude, I'm just getting my iPod, calm down, man." I said putting said item in my pocket.
Gregory stalked towards us and Tony shrank behind me. I put my hand on his head.
Soon Gregory was standing right in front of us I lifted my chin and stared right into his eyes. He certainly seemed surprised. Like I would ever back down from him.
Suddenly a bright light was shone where we stood.
"Rookery!" the vampires hissed. Kayla and Tony ran for cover, but I was frozen. Gregory shoved me behind a tombstone and followed his family to where they disappeared down a hole.
A man who I assumed to be Rookery climbed out of the same truck that had almost killed me and my siblings.
Without thinking I ran out and punched him in the stomach. He grunted and doubled over. When he straightened up I kicked, aiming for his face. He grabbed my foot and twisted it. I cried out in pain as he threw me aside
The man pushed Gregory behind him as he shielded his family form the light.
Rookery appeared with a gun loaded with pointed wood.
The vampire man stood up straight and shouted at Rookery, "Stay away from my family! Do your worst!" He prepared himself to be staked.
I watched Tony pull the plug to the gun.
I heard Anna call out, "The age of chivalry is not yet dead!"
Oh, little girl. How you make me laugh.
Rookery turned and growled something and started to stalk towards my brother.
"Tony!" I screamed as Kayla talked Rookery from the side.
Rookery had already risen from the ground and began to chase Kayla and Tony with a neon crucifix, "Run! Run!" I screamed, as I ran over to Rookery. I tackled him like Kayla had and Tony and Kayla disappeared. I saw the crucifix break when it hit the ground. I got up. I ran in the direction I had seen my siblings go.
"Kayla! Tony!" I screamed as I staggered up the hill. I started run but fell down a hole. I screamed again, closing my eyes, waiting to hit the ground, wondering how much it would hurt, when someone caught me.
I opened my eyes hesitantly to find Gregory looking at me.
"Are you alright?" He asked sounding as if he couldn't care less.
I glared at him, "I'm fine."
"You brat!" Rookery screamed down the hole and pointed a gun down.
"Run!" Gregory hissed as he pulled me to his family's hiding place.
I watched as a flare lit up the room.
"Lyssa!" Tony and Kayla appeared out of nowhere and tackled me and knocked me to the ground
"Ow. Hey, guys! I'm alright! Please let me up now" I said.
The family came out of their hiding spots.
Their father came up to us and glared at us all, "What you did was foolish!"
Kayla said angrily, "If it weren't for him you would deader than a dead guy!"
His wife came up beside him and rested her hands on his arms, "She's right, dear." She smiled at me and Kayla before looking at Tony, "Foolish…but brave."
Tony stared at the necklace that hung around the father's neck and grabbed it. My vision immediately went black
There's a woman on a white horse near the entrance of a cave. She gets off the horse and slowly walks into the cave. She goes farther into the cave and there's a man there. He looks like he's dead. He's the guy who jumped in after the stone! She gets closer and puts her cloak over him. There's a crest on her cloak, and she reaches for something in the man's hand. It's the stone! But he isn't dead. He grabs her hand and bares his fangs at her. He's obviously a vampire. "It is hidden…" something hissed."It is hidden…" it hissed again.
My vision suddenly cleared. Tony and Kayla were staring at me. From where I lay on the ground I glared at them.
"You could help me up, but no, I gotta do everything myself." I stood up and cracked my head on something hanging from the ceiling. "On second thought, I'll just stay down."
Gregory snickered as I slid down the wall.
I shot a glare at him. "Bite me."
He raised an eyebrow at me.
"Just kidding."
Kayla and Tony were still staring at me.
"You saw it too." Kayla said hoarsely.
I nodded.
"There was a woman I've never seen before. She bore a strange coat of arms. We must find which family she belongs too. Trace her crest." The man spoke thoughtfully.
"We can help!" Tony said eagerly.
"No…This is too risky to involve mortals." He kept pondering.
"What have we got to lose?" Rudolph spoke up, "We've been searching for 3 centuries!"
"This is what happens when we come in contact with mortals! Disrespect! Insolence!" His father roared.
I groaned. All the noise was making my migraine worse.
"Frederick, he does have a point" The wife's soft-dreamy voice spoke.
I heard him exhale, "Alright. Help if you can. But don't think to change your mind and betray us to our most hateful enemy." He hissed, "Or my wrath will be reviled. Am I clear?" I heard him hiss again and Kayla and Tony gasped in fright, nodding their head in agreement.
"Good. Now girl!" He boomed at me.
"Alyssa." I mumbled and rubbed my temples.
"What?" He hissed.
"My name is Alyssa. Thanks." I said.
He hissed again, "Do you agree to help us, and not betraying us to Rookery?"
"He tried to frickin' kill me and my siblings on multiple occasions! Of course I'm not gonna help him" I replied.
The vampires looked at each other.
"Very well." The father, Fredrick said.
Kayla looked at me. "We should probably be getting home."
I nodded and stood up, wincing.
Anna, who I had forgotten was there, spoke pleadingly to the mother.
"Can I fly one of them Mother? Please? I haven't seen other girls in so long!"
Her mother sighed. "Very well." She looked at Kayla. "You wouldn't mind, would you, dear?"
Kayla shook her head and smiled at Anna. "Hi, I'm Kayla."
"I am Anna; it is a pleasure to meet you."
"Um, you too."
I started to make my way over to Rudolph, but the woman stopped me.
"No, no. You are injured, and Rudolph could not possibly carry both of you."
"I'm fine, really." I almost added that Rudolph had flown all three of us perfectly fine, but I stopped myself.
"Gregory, be a dear and help Alyssa back to where she lives."
I snorted at the thought of Gregory being 'a dear'. He hissed.
"Gregory." She said warningly.
"Fine."
"Thank you, Gregory." His mother said smiling sweetly.
