The doorbell rang at percicely 6pm. Edgar and Alan Frog smiled and walked right into the house as soon as Dwayne opened the door.
"Come on in, boys." Dwayne smiles. "You bring your Vampires Among Us books, Alan?"
"Of course! I even brought this! My dad just got it in the shop inventory and he let me take one!" Alan flashes a fill in your adventure Vampires Among Us companion book entitled "Vampires Among Me. My local Guide to Vampire Hunting."
"That is awesome!" Dwayne gasps.
Dwayne and Alan head right to Dwayne's room- time was not to be wasted when it came to diving into the Vampires Among Us obsession the two boys shared.
David peeks out from the kitchen, still carring Marko.
"Edgar! Hey!"
"Babysitting duty?" Edgar laughs.
"Every day. Every night."
"So your gonna party with the big boys tonight, Marko?" Edgar smiles at the five year old, who just stared with intent.
"Do you wanna play with Paul? Come on, Marko, lets get you to the playroom so you can play with Paul until bath time."
"David! No!"
"Marko, why don't you want to play with Paul?"
"David!"
"Marko, you're going to the playroom and that's final." David sighs and heads to the playroom, where Paul is still miraculously playing on the Playstation.
"I have Edgar over. Play nicely with Marko." David drops Marko down.
As David turns around, suddenly Marko starts to cry.
"DAVIDDDDDDD!" Marko screams, just barly audible between his cries.
David made the mistake of looking at Marko, and his heart fell.
"Oh, fine." David shakes his head and picks Marko back up.
As David and Marko make way back to the living room, Edgar lets out a laugh.
"I understand, I'm cooler than Paul!"
"No." Marko states and grins a toothy grin at Edgar. Edgar shivered a bit, feeling strange in the 5 year old's presence.
"So, Edgar, how did it go getting the latest issue of Busty Moms?"
"Epic fail. My dad caught me going through the 18 and over shipment box. I got told that Harley Quinn comics are the only thing close to porn I'm allowed to get at until I'm 18. Harley isn't doing it anymore!"
"Did your dad find out about your Pornhub subscription?"
"No, but Alan knows. And it's blackmail now."
"What is Alan going to blackmail you for?"
"TV privileges!"
"So? You have Pornhub!"
"I also share a bedroom with Alan."
"Oh, yeah I forgot you two share a room."
"You are so lucky, David! You don't have to share a room!"
"I guess I am. But this little guy is always crawling into bed with me!" David smiles at Marko.
"Yeah, but he's cute. And little. Not annoying and brownnosy like Alan."
"You forget that I'm brothers with Dwayne, right?"
"Yeah, but imagine sharing a bedroom with Dwayne!"
"I'd rather not!" David laughs.
Dwayne and Alan were sitting on Dwayne's bed, reading through the Vampires Among Us books, making notes about anything that was note worthy.
"Baby vampires." Alan states, and highlights a passage in his companion book.
"Are those things real?" Dwayne asks, raising an eyebrow. "Babies can't be! They are like innocent or something."
"It says right here to be weary of babies and toddlers who seem more intent on you than a toy; they would rather eat you than play with a simple toy!"
"What else does it say?"
"They like creepy things over cute things, and they make you feel uneasy!"
"Alan. I think my brother may be a baby vampire."
"What one? David? The hyper one? Oh... The creepy little one, right? Marko, Marky? Whatever his name is? The one with the curls!"
"Marko. And yeah. He scares me." Dwayne admits.
"He is kinda unsettling. He always stares at me and Edgar."
"You're telling me! At least you don't have to live with him! He's psychotic and yet Dad and David just think he's the cutest little thing."
"We can get rid of him once and for all, you know."
"How?" Dwayne asks, intriged yet ashamed at being so curious about Alan's suggestion.
"Well, it says in the book to feed them a bottle of blood, and if they drink it they are a vampire."
"Okay, well Marko has a lot of bottles. We just need blood. Where are we going to get blood?"
"From the blood donation place, duh!"
"Alan... Those places are closed on the weekend! And I don't think it's like a store where you just put money on the counter and they give you a bag of blood."
"Okay, then one of us has to cut ourselves and make sure it ends up in the bottle."
"That sounds like it could work. But, the big thing is... How are we going to get Marko alone? He's always with David!"
"Edgar has a Pornhub account. David and Edgar love porn. And you know damn well they wouldn't watch it with Marko. So we just have to wait until their hormones are screaming at them."
"Sounds like a plan. I really hope we can expose Marko for the psychotic bastard vampire he is."
"No five year old should be as creepy as Marko is."
"Agreed, Alan, agreed."
Hours had passed, and pizza was delivered and eaten. Paul and Marko both took baths, and were dressed for bed. David slipped Paul a small dose of Nyquil, so he could actually get some sleep and not be up all night like he was for the last few weeks.
Marko was tucked into his bed, but instead of sleeping, he was playing with his stuffed toys, laughing every now and then.
David and Edgar were taking advantage of being the oldest in the house and watching things they weren't supposed to.
Alan and Dwayne wasted no time- they needed to know if Marko was a baby vampire or not.
"Your dad keeps the razors in his bathroom, right?"
"Yeah, follow me." Dwayne nods and leads Alan into his dad's bedroom.
"Dude, your dad is really into vampires." Alan states, looking at Max's bookshelf.
"Huh, I never paid attention to that." Dwayne shrugs.
"Do you think your dad could be a vampire? Usually grown men don't have over 50 vampire books."
"How could my dad be a vampire? He's too much of a square."
"How long has your dad worked nights?"
"For as long as I could remember."
"Is he ever awake when its sunny?"
"No... But he works nights, so he needs to sleep, right? I mean Video Max is open 24\7."
"I think your dad and Marko are vampires!"
"Alan, you can't say my dad is a vampire! He's my dad! He's too lame to be a vampire."
"Oh? Then what's this?" Alan asks, and grabs a glass wine bottle from the book shelf.
"A bottle of wine? I don't see what's so wrong about wine?"
Alan pulls the top off and smells it. He gags. "Dude, it's not wine."
"Lemme smell it." Dwayne snatches the bottle from Edgar's hand.
Edgar was right. It wasn't wine. It smelt too metallic to be wine. And it was too dark. It was blood.
"OH MY FUCKING GOD!" Dwayne screams.
"AHHHHH!" Both boys scream in unison, before calmimg down a minute.
"Well, we don't have to cut ourselves now." Alan laughs.
"Lets hope the psychotic one likes this." Dwayne laughs. "And look, we don't even need to get a bottle." He points to one of Marko's bottles that lay empty on the floor, right by Max's laundry hamper.
"Let's do this." Alan states, and picks up the empty baby bottle.
The two boys fill the bottle half way with the blood, and put the glass bottle back where it was supposed to go. They soon made their way into Marko's bedroom.
Marko's bedroom was cluttered with all sorts of stuffed toys, and seemed a little too dark for any 5 year old to be comfortable with.
"Marko! Are you awake?" Dwayne asks, trying to hold back his grin.
"Yeah!" Marko cheers.
"I got you a drink, okay?"
"Thank you, Dwayne!" Marko grabs the bottle and starts to drink it.
"It's juice!" Alan lies.
"I like it!" Marko cooes, much to the dismay of Alan and Dwayne.
"Okay, well we're gonna go to bed now, and uh just... Goodnight Marko."
The morning came quicker than anyone was expecting it to. Paul was the first one up, like usual. He got himself dressed in a mis-matched outfit, and tried to pour himself cereal and milk as neatly as possible- leaving a large mess of Lucky Charms on the counter.
The next person up was Max, and he was not happy. He realized that there was some blood missing in his bottle of blood.
"DAVID KIEFER! DWAYNE WILLIAM!" He boomed, waking them up, but somehow Edgar, Alan and Marko were still asleep.
David and Dwayne came out of their bedrooms, with a scowl on their faces.
"Who was in my bedroom last night? And wich one of you got into my wine?!"
"Edgar and I were busy doing other things. We didn't go near your room!" David replied truthfully.
"It was Marko." Dwayne replies.
"You're blaming Marko?!"
"Yeah! He said that he lost something in your room and he went to look for it. Look in Marko's room, dad! I'm serious!"
Max rolled his eyes, but made way into his youngest's room anyway.
Max stepped over a few large stuffed toys, and made way to Marko's bed. He immediately noticed the bottle laying next to the sprawled out toddler. He picked it up and noticed the remnants of some dried up blood.
"Fuuuuuuuckkkk." Max said to himself.
