squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! One of my favorite chapters! Finally!

The night was rough. I literally got no sleep. I opened my eyes drowsily, and I headed toward the bathroom. Marissa and Ferb were asleep on their respectable beds, and Marissa was curled up. She seemed worried about something. I have no idea what though. I shrugged, and I headed to the bathroom. I was still kinda drowsy, so when I looked in the mirror...huh? That's weird…I shook my head to wake up further...and yet…

"No reflection? That's weird," I said, and then I shrugged, "eh, Ferb must have been messing with the mirrors as a prank again."

I then opened the drawer to get out my toothbrush. Can't seize the day with yellow teeth after all. I brushed my teeth...what the...it's a lot harder to brush them...I mean...REALLY hard. I think...gah! It's stuck in my teeth! I pulled hard onto it, and when I did...there's a huge hole in my toothbrush! It can't be THAT weak of a toothbrush!

"That's strange, this thing is brand new!" I thought out loud...I wonder how sharp my teeth are...maybe somehow they got sharper. I felt my teeth...so far normal, but then I got to one that was significantly larger than the rest of my teeth...besides a second on the same side that makes it symmetrical. I decided to feel the tips of the two larger teeth, "OOOWWCH! Man those are sharp."

I thought for sure my finger would be spurting out blood, but I guess not….Weird...Wait a second…

"No reflection plus really sharp teeth plus," I checked my skin, "yep, pale and pretty cold skin...yeeeup! I'm a vampire. Guess it's time to bring out the black and red cloak."

I ran to my room quietly...and a lot faster because of my super speed, and I grabbed some black fabric, red fabric and some other stuff. I then ran to Mom's sewing room...what? I'm not allowed to sew? I sewed my cloak up, and I put it on. It's a perfect hood. Man...if this cloak doesn't keep me protected from sunlight I don't know what will.

It was later, and my friends, siblings and I just hung out in the backyard...however it was apparently another really hot day today. Maybe hotter than yesterday...well...at least I think so...man I can't remember anything from yesterday...why can't I remember? Anyway, everybody was laying on the ground like they were dying. I knew I kind of had to keep my distance from them, so that their scent wouldn't tempt me. I also had to keep my fangs hidden from sight. I guess they hang out of my mouth like when I was Dracula for Halloween...except these were real. I sat right next to the tree. That way the scent of the bark and leaves would distract my instincts from my friends and family's scents. I think Marissa is onto me though...I mean, who would wear a cloak, a black one I might add, in this heat and still be able to sit up conscious?

"Ph-Phin-eas...how..can...you stand this heat...It's like...a hundred degrees out here," Marissa wheezed out.

"Actually it is precisely 102.5 degrees," I pointed out, able to tell the exact temperature.

"Smart allec," Marissa teased.

"Better to be a smart allec than a dumb one," I remarked.

Isabella then crawled toward me. It's actually quite cool under this cloak. I made it that way. It's cold when needed or warm when needed...right now cold is definitely needed. She crawled to me, and I considered letting her lay with me in my cloak, but not only would her scent torture me, but everyone else would be jealous. Isabella then touched my hands, and she squealed.

"Guys! Phineas is really cold!" she shouted, and before I could say anything, people were grabbing me and pulling on me, demanding me to lay against them and cool them off. After like ten seconds I was starting to get really annoyed...I hadn't noticed I hissed…

Everyone dropped me instantly, and then I hid my fangs. Marissa approached me, and I hid them further. Good God what did I do now?

"Phineas, did you hiss at us?"

I had to keep my fangs hidden. I shielded them behind my cloak. She didn't seem pleased as I said, "Uh...no."

"Phineas...move your cloak."

"No."

"Phineas." her tone was more stern and authority-like...I had no choice but to obey, but after I moved the cloak, I covered my mouth with my hands. She didn't seem pleased by that either, "Now move your hands!"

"No!"

"Phineas!"

"Uh uh!"

Marissa then grabbed my wrists and tried pulling my hands away I struggled to keep them there, but she was persistent and would not give up. Finally, for the second time today,...I hissed...but this time my fangs were in plain sight. Marissa gasped and backed away from me. In her eyes was pure terror.

"Ph-Phineas...d-did you just...h-h-hiss at me with those...fangs?"

"Uh...uh…" I felt ashamed. I knew I had to get out of there otherwise I'd hurt someone. I zoomed away using my vampire speed, and I hid in a dark alley...hoping they won't find me.
