A/n - Howdy, no Gregory is not here yet, but he is breifly mentioned. He will actually appear in the next chapter. Oh yes and in the first chapter I mentioned that Bob had said Eve swears like a sailor and yet so far she hasn't cursed once. Ahem...obviously trying to set an example to her sister and Tony. However her first curseword shall be uttered in the following chapter. Just to warn you. So, anyway...here we go...
-C.4-
"Morning honey." Bob smiled as Dottie kissed his cheek and took the fresh cup of coffee from his hands.
"I was thinking of taking Tony golfing after work today, what do you think?" He asked taking a seat at the dining table. "Although, I don't think the girls would enjoy it very much." He added as an after thought.
"I think that's a great idea." Dottie grinned at her husband. "I could take the girls out. Maybe see a movie or something."
"Brilliant."
Once Dottie had finished her tea, she headed upstairs to Tony's room only to find that Ellen was still there also. With a smile she flung open the curtains, lettting in the morning sun.
"Good morning!"
Tony sat up rubbing his eyes as El rolled over onto her side, only she misjudged the distance and landed on the floor with a thud.
"You ok, sweetie?" Asked Dottie as she and Tony struggled to hold back their giggles.
El rolled onto her back on the hardwood floor. "Just peachy."
"Any more nightmares?" Dottie turned to her son.
"No I dreamt I was...flying." Smiled Tony looking purposely at El who smirked.
"Really? That's a good kinda dream to have. Now up. Time for school." With that Dottie left for Eve's room.
Once his mother was gone Tony scrambled off the bed to his toy chest. Just as he was about to open it, El slapped his hands away.
"The sun, idiot."
"Oh yeah."
"Thank you Ellen." Came the muffled and slightly amused voice of Rudolph.
"Anytime dude."
Meanwhile Dottie was having a harder time waking Eve up.
"C'mon, time for school!"
"No! Rookery don't kill the vampires. Bloody bastard." Eve mumbled rolling onto her stomach.
Ignoring the curse that came from the sixteen year old's half asleep ramblings, Dottie sighed. "God, what is it with kids nowadays an vampires?" She asked of nobody. She reached down and pulled the pillow from beneath the younger female's head.
"Ugh, just five more minutes."
"Nope, up! Now!" Dottie pulled the the duvet away and dumped it on El's half of the room before leaving Eve to get ready. As she walked past Tony's room, feeling pleased with her mothering skills, she called out to see if the younger children were hungry.
"We could eat a cow!"
Tony was the first down to breakfast, closely follwed by Ellen and eventually, looking very much still asleep, Evelyn. Dottie and Bob told everyone the plan for the day after school and Dottie asked the girl which film they wanted to see.
"Ooh, Pirates Of The Caribbean four just came out. We could see that." Suggested El. Eve woke up slightly at the thought of getting to stare at Johnny Depp for two-ish hours.
"Pirates it is then." Grinned Dottie.
School passed by quickly for the girls. Even quicker for Tony who was sent home for fighting with the McAshton boys. When the girls got home, Tony was already out golfing with Bob, so they headed straight to change.
"Should we check on Rudolph?" Asked El as she skimmed through her wardrobe. Eve chuckled and shook her head.
"What?" Frowned El.
"Oh nothing." Smirked Eve pulling out a pair of jeans as she felt something colide with her head. "Alright, miss moody pants." She snickered picking up El's pillow that had landed by her feet. "All I was thinking is that when you're around him, you might want to play it cool."
"And what's that supposed to mean?"
"Are you really that dense? You've been talking about him all day!" Eve giggled. "You. Have. A. Crush. On. Rudolph." Eve pulled out a top and headed into the bathroom, leaving El to open and close her mouth uselessly as her cheeks flushed a faint pink.
Meanwhile in Tony's toy chest, Rudolph had been listening to their whole conversation. When El didn't reply he found himself smiling. He's heard mortal girls talk about crushed before but never about them having one on him. The pretty brunette has a crush on me, he thought to himself, suprised that he actually enjoyed the feeling.
When the girls got back from the film they headed upstairs to Tony's room, to find him sat on the chest staring glumly out of the window.
"What's up, dude?" Asked Eve pulling off her jacket.
"Rudolph's gone."
Ellen joined Tony on the toy chest, dissapointment filling her heart when she realised that she'd probably never see the little vampire again.
Later that night everyone had gone to bed, a little upset at the dissapearence of their new friend. That was until Tony heard someone in his room. He sat up frowning as he put his glasses on, a smile spreading across his face when he saw who it was.
"Rudolph! Can we go flying again?"
"No, it's too dangerous. I only came because of these." Rudolph held up two pieces of paper he'd taken from Tony's desk. One was Ton'ys drawing of the amulet from his dreams and the other was Eve's doodle of a tall male vampire holding said amulet.
"You can have them." Frowned Tony.
"Where have you seen it?"
Tony allowed a small smile to grace his features as a plan formed in his mind. "I'll tell you if you take me flying again."
Rudolph sighed. "Alright."
"And Eve too, she drew the one of the guy." Added Tony.
Another sigh emitted through the dark icy lips. "Ok, Eve too."
Tony stood grabbing his shorts before pausing. "Well, we can't just leave El behind."
Tony had expected another sigh from his friend but instead a thoughtful smile apeared on his undead face. "Yes, she did enjoy flying didn't she?"
"Yeah...C'mon." Tony finished pulling on his jumper and trainers, grabbed Rudolph's hand and pulled him silently across the hall and into the girls bedroom.
"Tony! We shouldn't be in here!" Whispered Rudolph.
"Why not?"
"We're males in a female bedroom. And besides it's rude to enter without permission."
"Y'know he's right, kid."
Tony umped at the sound of Eve's voice. Rudolph however had seen her perfectly well in the darkness of the room. She was lay on her back, staring at the ceiling, clearly lacking sleep and reminding Rudolph of someone very close to him.
"Get up Eve, we're going flying."
She let her head roll to the side, fixing the two young boys with a 'no-freaking'way' stare.
"Aw, come on! You have to!"
"Actually I think you should come." Rudolph added thoughtfully.
"Why? Want me to throw up everywhere?"
"Of course no. But there is somebody I'd like you to meet. Someboyd you might feel more at ease with."
"Who?" Eve sat up now, curiosity getting the better of her.
"My brother. He's around you age and it seems that you'd have alot in common." Rudolph gestured around Eve's darkened half of the room.
She thought about it for a second. Another vampire. Her age. Maybe this brother of Rudolph's could be a little fun, in a sixteen year old way rather that a nine-fourteen year old way. With a huff she climbed out of bed to pull on a jacket and her boots.
"Wake Ellen up would you Rude?" Eve called as she hopped about trying to tuck her pyjama bottoms into her boots so they wouldn't get muddy when they landed. If they landed.
Rudolph ignored the nickname and made his way over to the mass of brunette hair that was peeking out from beneath the duvet.
"Ellen?" Recieving no answer he gently shook the mound of covers. A mumble was heard causing Rudolph to frown and turn to the pair that were watching him in amusement.
"What does...'goo-way-smey' mean?" He asked innocently.
Tony giggled as Eve slapped a hand over her mouth before she could burst into laughter and wake Dottie and Bob. Eventually she regained her composure enough to explain. "She means, 'go away, smelly.'"
"Oh." Rudolph frowned turning back to El. He poked the duvet where he presumed her shoulder would be, but still nothing happened. With a sigh Eve walked over to her sister, peeled back the covers so that her head was visible and bent forward. "El, your beloved is here to take you flying."
Rudolph knew that if he could he would be blushing as El's sleepy eyes opened wide in horror as she stared at her older sister. Tony giggled from the window. "Maybe we should go now?" He suggested. Rudolph nodded as El grabbed a jacket and slipped on a pair of trainers before joining everyone on the balcony, shooting Eve a death glare.
Rudolph took each of the girls hands, Tony on the other side of Eve, and took off. After a few minutes, he turned to Tony.
"So where have you seen the amulet?"
"Just in my dreams."
"Yes, you mentioned them before. You said I was in them?"
Tony went on to explain the dream to Rudolph, causing El to gasp in shock.
"What's wrong Ellen?" Rudolph looking the thirteen year old over, making sure she wasn't harmed.
"Nothing. I just...I had the same dream last night and tonight. Only it got cut short tonight," She mumbled returning her gaze to the scenery below her. Rudolph landed soon after, in a cemetary no less.
Eve, thankful to be out of the sky and somewhere she was comfortable, wondered forward, running her hand along marble headstones. Tony stuck by her side, just incase anthing popped out, Rudolph just behind them. El however was stood stock still by the gates. Rudolph glanced over his shoulder to see the panicked girl and walked back over to her. Without a word he smiled at her and carefully placed an arm around her shoulders, gently urging her forwards. She stayed close to his as they walked, shivering due to his body temperature and the fact she was only wearing pyjama shorts on the cold evening.
Once they were furthur into the cemetary, the four of them sat down on the grass.
"What does it all mean?" Asked Eve pulling the sleeves of her jacket over her hands.
"I can't say. It's a secret."
"Who are we gonna tell?" Pouted Tony.
"Alright. It is the comet Attamon. It's the comet of the lost souls. It could mean the end of this curse."
"What curse."
"The curse of being a vampire. A piece of the comet fell to earth and a great magician made it into an amulet of power. And we lost it 300 years ago to the sea."
"We saw it." Smiled Eve.
"My uncles Von tried to catch it, but no-one's seen him since."
"We'll help you find it Rudolph. I promise." Ellen smiled as they heared an odd screaching sound from above.
"My parents!" Rudolph gasped jumping up from the floor. "Hide!"
