That night I sat in front of the fireplace with Sam, Alan, Edgar and Laddie. It was dark outside and we had spent the remainder of our time in the sunlight to prepare the house, a lot of the exit routes were locked up and we were in the process of a briefing from Edgar as we waited for the vampires to turn up.
"I think I should warn you: when a vampire bites it, it's never a pretty sight. No two bloodsuckers go out the same way. Some yell and scream, some go quietly. Some explode, some implode. But all will try to take you with them." He isn't exactly great at pep talks. The next few minutes were pretty much silent as we all got ready in our own way for what was about to happen, suddenly we heard Nanook barking from outside and Sam looked up in horror.
"Nanook, I left him outside!" he exclaimed and made a run for the door, Edggar and Alan running after him, calling for him to come back. They sould be here at any minute, I scvrambled off the floor and heard Michael coming not too far behind me. I ran out the front door and saw Sam running towards the gate, I had just started to run out to him when someone's arms went around my waist and held on tightly, I couldn't move.
"Let me go!" I hissed as I saw Sam sturggle with Nanook's leash.
"No, you have to stay here! Sam get back here!" Edgar caalled as he tried to hold me still, Michael ran out past us down towards Sam and the rest of us stood on the porch and yelled for them to come back.
"Michael they're coming!" Star shouted fearfully a few seconds later and I followed her gaze to see the three vampires flying towards the house, they could grab Sam and Michael so easily. Sam and Michael finally got Nanook free and took off running for the house, but Sam tripped coming towards the house. I struglled in Edgar's arms to get to them but he wasn't letting me go, my brothers ran up towards the steps when they got up again and Edgar psued me back into the house as Sam and Michael shut the door behind them.
"Take them upstairs!" Michale called to Edgar and Alan who ussured Star and Laddie upstairs. I ran into the kichen to check that all the windows and doors were locked when I heard an explosion from the living room. I ran back in and narrowly missed the chandelier falling to the floor. I spotted Sam and Michael lying unconsious and was just making my way over when someone shoved me from behind and I fell to the floor beside them as everything went dark.
"Nikki, Nikkie wake up!" I heard someone say and opened my eyes to dim light, I was only able to see Sam in front of me vaguely as he helped me stand up. I looked around and saw what looked like a body in front of the stereo, it was lying in several pieces and there were sparks coming from the stereo.
"What the-?" I began in confusion but Michael grabbed my arm.
"No time to explain, Sam get upstairs!" Michael ordered and Sam ran towards the stairs in front of us and we were making our way up when the sound of rushing water had us stopping in our tracks. We looked to the kitchen to see the doors covered in reddish water that was streaming down the windows. Sam recovered first and continued on up and ran across the landing as I reached the top of the staris with Michael right behind me. All of a sudden a blonde vampire appeared out of nowhere and shoved me and Michael backwards, we tumbled downt he stairs and landed in a heap at the bottom.
"Are you okay, Nikki?" Mihcale asked in a strained voice and I groaned in answer as my ribs throbbed painfully. He helped me to my feet and I cowered into him as we stared aorund the room to see where the vampire had went. Out of nowhere he appeared and hit Michael, then he was gone in a flash and I couldn't see him anywhere.
"Nikkie, get upstairs." Michael whispered and I shook my head fearfully, I couldn't fall down those things twice. He shoved me slightly towards the stairs and I ran up, I had only just reached the top when someone grabbed me. Any fleeting thoguths I had that it might have been Edgar were detroyed as my feet left the ground and I was easily about eight feet off the ground where Michael stood. I heard a sadistic laugh in my ear and shuddered as I realised the vampire had gotten me.
"Put her down!" Michael ordered.
"So this is the little sister, huh? Pity she didn't come with you to the caves that night, it would have been fun to get her in on the fun as well." The bloodsucker said and I struggled in his arms.
"Lett me go, asshole!" I shouted and he merely chuckled, I struggled and clawed at his arms that were wrapped tightly around me but it was no use, they weren't even scratching the leather he wore.
"As you wish." He said with a chuckle and suddenly I was falling, I barely heard Michael call my name before I hit the floor painfully, my head spinning, I could practically see stars. Michael lifted me up and I tried to walk, but crumpled as a stab of pain shot up from my ankle.
"Michael, leave me here and get somehwere safe." I said as I winced in pain, I couldn't even stand by myself let alone walk.
"Not a chance." He said as he let me sit back down on the ground, he stood straight and looked around the room. We couldn't see him again, just heard his laugh.
"You afraid to face me, David? Huh?" he demanded, I saw David's shadow emerge on the second floor.
"I tired to make you immortal." He said.
"You tried to make me a killer!" Michael screamed as David flew towards him and knocked him backwards. I lost track of him again until I saw his horrible, twisted face from where he sat in the rafters.
"You are a killer." He said and I looked to see Michael on the floor, his face resembling David's as he licked blood from his nose off his lips. David laughed again and Michael flew towards him and I watched as the two spun in the air, it seemed as thoguh niether was getting anywhere until Michael had David up against a wall, narrowly missing the dear antlers that were mounted on the wall behind them.
"My turn." I heard David saw and the tables were turned, he flew Michael across the room towards the antlers and bones in Grandpa's room. Michael grabbed the doorframe just in time.
"Stop fighting me, Michael. Join us." I heard David say.
"Never!" Michael answered defiantly.
"It's too late, my blood is in your veins." Dvaid said.
"So is mine!" Michael screamed and soun David and flew into the room, impaling Dvaid's body on some antlers. I watched as David died in front of us, smoke rising from his chest as he slumoed down onto the table, dead. I stood up shakily and made sure to not put any pressure on my ankle as Star came down the stairs calling for Michael, she stopped short as she saw Dvaid's body.
"Nikki!" I heard Sam call as he and the Frog Brothers made their way downstairs.
"I'm fine, just sprained my ankle. Michael's in there." I said and pointed to the room where Dvaid's body lay. Sam ran over to check Michael and Edgar came over and put an arm around my waist and wound my arm around his neck to take the weight off my ankle.
"You alright?" I asked him as he helped me limp over to the doorway.
"Better than you, what happened?" he asked.
"Got dropped from the ceiling by a vampire, didn't land well." I grimaced.
"He's lucky he's dead or I'd have killed him myself." He growled as we reached the door way and I smiled. The smile faded as Michael shouted for us to get away from him.
"What's the big deal? You destroyed the head vampire, it's all over." Edgar said, I had a bad feeling it wasn't.
"Nothing's changed." Michael said, great.
"He s right, I don't feel any different." Star said helplessly.
"Then there's still one more…" Edgar said and we all looked at each other.
"Who the hell else is there?" I demanded and suddenly we heard Mom calling outside.
"Sam! Nikki! Michael!" she called and suddenly the prospect of facing a gang of vampires seemed preferable than facing my Mom given the current state of the house.
"I'll handle Mom. Come on go." He said and ushered the Frogs and I over to the doorway, "Don't let her see any of the bodies." He added as the door opened and Mom and Max came in.
"What happened?" Mom asked.
"What the hell is going on?" Max asked also as they came in, Sam grabbed Mom's arm and started steering her towards the dining room.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"Mom, we need to have a really long converstaion about this in the dining room." Sam said hurriedly.
"What happened to your face?" Mom asked and we all continued babbling as we lead her into the dining room.
"Where's Michael?" she demanded and we looked at each other.
"Uh…" I began and she looked at me expectantly before noticing I was still leaning heavily on Edgar.
"What happened to you?" She asked worriedly.
"Sprained ankle, no big deal." I assured her and she threw her arms up.
"Why won't anyone tell me what's going on? Why does the house look like a bomb hit it?" she asked.
"Mom, sit down and we'll explain everything." Sam tried to reassure her but she walked back into the living room.
"I don't wanna hear another word from you until I talk to Michael." She said and Sam looked over at us fearfully.
"I'm sure she'll undertsnad when we explain." Alan tried to reason.
"No she won't, she'll make us clean this place and then she'll have us locked up." I said and Sam gulped before making his way into the living room.
"Who else could there be that would be the head vampire?" Edgar asked his brother who shrugged, we had no freaking idea.
"I knew it, you're the head vampire!" We heard Sam say and Alan ran in whilst Edgar half-walked half-dragged me back to the living room.
"You're the secet that David was protecting." I heard Star say as we came to stand behind my Mom and Sam.
"Who's this?" Mom asked as she looked at Star.
"Nikki, go stand behind Star, we were right about Max." Edgar said and I nodded before limping over to Star who stood in front of me protectively.
"But you passed the test." Alan said in confusion to Max.
"Don't ever invite a vampire into your home, you silly boy! It renders you powerless." Max said knowingly and Sam turned to Edgar.
"Did you know that?" he asked.
"Of course. Everyone knows that." Edgar answered and I rolled my eyes.
"Clearly not everyone." I said and he shrugged at me.
"Has everyone gone crazy? What's the matter with all of you?" Mom asked, sounding thoroughly freaked out.
"It was you I was after all along Lucy." Max said.
"What?" Mom asked fearfully.
"I knew that if I could get Sam, Nikki and Michael into the family there was no way you could say no." he said lightly and I gulped, this psycho actually planned to turn my family into bloodsuckers?
"Where's Michael?" Mom demanded.
"It was all going to be so perfect, Lucy." Max continued as though he hadn't even heard her, "Just like one big happy family. Your boys, and my boys." He said brightly.
"Great, the Bloodsucking Brady Bunch." Edgar spat to Max who had turned away from us. When Max turned back his face looked terrifying as he smiled.
"But I still want you, Lucy. I haven't changed my mind about that." He said and we all jumped at the sight of his hideous face.
"I didn't invite you this time, Max!" Michael said as he stepped out, his vapire face twisted in rage as he charged at Max who cuaght him easily and flung him onto the landing where he crashed and was motionless.
"Michael, no!" Star called as we watched in horror and Star picked up a sharp object and ran at Max with a cry of fury, he grabbed the sharp object she had and pushed her back into me, we both fell backwards and I grabbed my ankle which screamed in pain. I watched as the Frog Brothers ran at him next, Max easily pushed them back and they landed on the floor behind Mom and Sam.
"Don't you touch my mother!" Sam ordered as he ran at Max despite Mom's cries for him to stop. Max caught him and held him under his arm with his arm tighly around his throat, the other he held out to my Mom as a sick invitation.
"Don't fight, Lucy. It's so much better if you don't fight." He said lightly.
"Mom, don't do it! Please!" I sscreamed and Sam joined in, Mom reached for Max's hand, she'd do anything to save us.
"No!" I screamed as Max pulled her to him, his fangs at her throat.
Then came the sound of Grandpa's horn. Max looked up in disbelief as Grandpa's jeep came crashing into the living room and Michael jumped down from the landing, Mom and Sam just manged to get safely away as Michael pushed Max towards the jeep and a fence post from the front of the jeep went right through his chest. He flew back into the fire place and a huge explosion went off. Michael fell beside me and Star and shielded us as flames filled the living room. I kept my eyes closed until I could no longer see bright orange behind them and opened to see smoke pouring from the fireplace. I coughed slightly as I sat up and stared around. What the hell just happened?
"It's over, it's over." Star breathed in a relieved voice and hugged Michael.
"Star, Star!" Laddie called excitedly as he ran down the stairs. Star ran towards him and the two hugged as they realised they were human again. I looked over to Michael who cuaght my eyes at the same time and we hugged tightly as my eyes filled with tears, my brother was safe.
"Is everybody okay?" Michael asked when I oulled back and Mom smiled before her and Sam came over, Michael helped me stand and we all embraced in a tight hug as Mom gushed over us. I didn't even mind because I was so happy, we were safe and no one was going to hurt us.
"Dad? Dad?" Mom called to Grandpa and I pulled away from Michael and Sam to see him make his way from the jeep to the kitchen. Sam leaned down and helped me up onto his back before he walked to the kitchen where Grandpa was heading, he was still ingoring my Mom's questions when he opened the door and pulled out a root beer. He took a sip before turning to us, his tired face illuminated by the fridge.
"One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach… all the damn vampires."
… I have no words to desribe this situation as my Grandfather shut the fridge.
