Chapter 4: Chivalry is not yet dead
***3rd pov.***
Tony was sleeping in his room when he heard a "pssst!".
"What?" Tony groaned putting his glasses on.
He looked towards the window and saw Rudolph and Reagan coming into his room.
Tony smiled. "Rudolph! Raegan!"
Rudolph and Raegan were walking towards him when they stopped. Raegan turned around and walked towards his desk and tore out one of his drawings and they walked to Tony and sat on his bed
"Can we go flying again?" Tony asked.
"No. its to dangerous. Were only here because of this." Raegan said lifting up the drawing of the amulet.
"The drawing? You both can have it." Tony said.
"Where have you seen it? It's very important." Rudolph asked.
"I'm not going to tell unless you both take me flying." Tony said.
Raegan and Rudolph looked at each other rolled their eyes with a sigh before looking at Tony. A smile forming on there lips.
***Raegans pov.***
"Yippiee!" Tony cheered.
I saw our home and pointed down at the cemetery. "We live down there."
"A cemetery cool." Tony said.
Once we landed we started walking.
"So you didn't see the real thing then?" Rudolph asked.
We saw big stone and went over and sat on it. Rudolph sat on one side Tony while I sat on the other side.
"No why?" Tony asked.
"We can't say, its a secret." I said.
"Who am I gonna tell? Who's gonna believe me?" Tony asked.
Rudolph looked over at me telling me if its a good idea to tell him. I nodded telling him go ahead and tell him.
"Alright, It is the Comet Attamon." Rudolph started me and him looked up at the comet. Tony followed our gaze and also looked at it. "The comet of lost souls. It could mean the end of this curse."
"What curse?" Tony asked.
"The curse of being a vampire." I answered his question.
"It is the piece of the comet that fell to Earth, a great magician made it into an amulet of power, and we lost it three hundred years ago into the sea."
"Yes I saw it!" Tony said.
"And our Uncle Van tried to catch it and we never seen him since. From that night to this, our wandering has never ended." I finished the story.
Tony placed his arms on our shoulders. "Don't worry I'll help ya'll find it, that must be what my dreams really means."
Rudolph and I placed our arms on Tony's shoulders as well.
"Yes, you are to join our quest. We'll truly be brothers and sisters now." Rudolph said.
We heard bats screeching we all looked up in the direction of the noise four bats heading our way. Our family's home!
"Our parent's are coming hide!" Rudolph panicked.
"But were brothers and sister." Tony said.
"Our parent's don't know that go." I said.
Tony ran behind a giant tombstone.
Rudolph and I watched as two of the bats transformed into Mother and Father. Father had brown slick back hair and wore suit and a cape wearing no smile at all. Mother wore a yellow sparkly dress with a green and gold cloak, and she had big red hair which is held with a green hair clamp and earings.
"Mama! Papa!" we said running into Mother's waiting arms.
"Rudolph! Raegan! Thank the stars that you both are safe!" Mother said hugging us both.
"My son and daughter you mustn't stray from the road afar." Father said.
"But Mother, we were only taking the road less travel." Rudolph said.
"You both got lost my poor children." Mum said hugging us once again.
"Yoo-hoo!"
Rudolph and I turned around to see our younger sister Anna standing on top of a large stone, she is around Tony's age and has long flowing blonde hair that is down by her waist, and she also wears a reddish pink Aristocratic princess dress.
"Anna!" we cried and ran up to her giving her a hug.
"Brother, sister darling! You are the nerdy ones, sneaking off like some day walker." Anna said.
"We wish." I giggled.
We turned to Father.
Rudolph turned to Father. "So Father, did you find the stone?"
"No, but I'm sure we're on the right path." Father replied.
"Because..." I started but he cut me off.
"We still have fourth-eight hours..." Father said.
"You see..." Rudolph started but he got cut off.
"I will not fail the both of you!" Father snapped.
"Gregory?" Mum called out.
Rudolph and I turned to see our older brother Gregory who wore a long jacket with a yellow and black striped shirt wearing black pants with black boots with his hair all spiked up hissing at Tony. Tony screamed and ran toward us.
"No Gregory he's our friend!" Rudolph shouted.
I shoved Gregory back.
"Mortal!" Father exclaimed and strolled up to Tony.
Rudolph and I stood by Tony defending him.
"I-I'm Rudolph and Raegan's friend." Tony stuttered, "And they even gave me a bite proof guarantee!"
Father placed two fingers under Tony's chins and lifted him up to his eye level.
"You could be anything to my twins, victimizer, slave, dinner pherhaps, but you will never be their friend." Father said.
"He don't mind vampires-" Rudolph started.
"He dreams about us." I finished.
"Am I in your dreams mortal?" Anna asked fanning herself while batting her eyelashes at Tony.
"And he knows about the amulet." Rudolph added
"Then he must be a spy of Rookery's knaves." Father said.
He lowered Tony back to the ground. Tony popped his neck.
"Frederick, he doesn't look like a spy and besides, our dearest twins couldn't make up such a story, can you sweethearts?" Mum asked while glancing at us.
Rudolph and I shook our heads while doing our signature puppy dog look.
"Mortal or not he's only a boy, but if you insist on eating him go ahead." Mum said giving Father's hand a kiss.
Rudolph and I looked at each other with horror. Is Father really going to eat our best friend?
"I never said I would, it's impossible." Father said, "Leave I say!"
"But Rudolph and Raegan." Tony said looking at us.
"My twins should have never befriended you." Father said, "Leave I say!"
When Tony wouldn't he jumped toward him showing his fangs scaring Tony. Ge ran out screaming.
We heard a machine wirring and we all looked at one another. We looked toward the gate to see Rookery pointing a big stake gun at us.
"Freda go get the family! Go!" Father exclaimed.
My siblings and I ran towards Mother and she ushered us inside our home.
***3rd pov.***
While Mr. Sackville-bagg was defending his family with his cloak, Tony saw a cord that leads from the gun to the truck. So he went to the cord and unplugged it. Anna came out to see whats going on.
"Leave my family alone!" Mr. Sackville-bagg yelled, "Do your worst!"
Rookery pulled the trigger only for the stake to kerplop to the ground he stared at the stake confused so did Mr. Sack-villebagg.
"The age of chivalry is not yet dead." Anna said.
Her mother came and covered her mouth pulling her back to cover.
Rookery turned and saw Tony holding the cord which he dropped and took off running. Rookery turned and Mr. Sack-villebagg was gone. While Tony was running up the hill, Rookery came with the glowing cross and waved it in Tony's face.
"What kind of bloodsucker are you?" Rookery asked confused.
Tony took off running again and fell down a hole.
***Raegans pov.***
Rudolph and I were waiting with our family when we saw Tony fall down the hole.
"Ow!" Tony yelped.
Rudolph and I rushed over and helped him up.
"Tony are you alright?" I asked.
We felt somebody watching us we looked up and saw Rookery pointing a small stake gun at us.
Rudolph eyes widened."Look out!"
We grabbed Tony's arms and took off running. We heard Rookery's gun go off luckily we made it out of the way. We made it to the main room of the crypt when bright lights when off in the room. Rudolph and I hid behind the wall to hide from the light while Tony watched the lights in amazement.
"Woah!" Tony said.
As soon as the lights went out in the crypt everybody slowly emerged from our hiding spot and we went to where Tony was.
"What you did was foolish!" Father snapped while marching up to him.
Mum stood beside him. "Foolish, but brave." She smiled at Tony.
Tony was eyeing Father's necklace. I watched him as he grabbed the necklace and Father grabbed his hand they both froze and looked out into space. They have been in this trance for a while until Father had a fear expression on his face and they both snapped out of the trance.
"We shared a vision." Father said.
"He has a sympathy for our kind." Mum said.
Father started to pace around the room. "Young Van found the stone, then he made his way to Scotland, plucked from the sea by a merchants ship just as rumor had it."
"Then he could still be roaming free." Mum said with hope in her voice.
"Their was a woman I've never seen before, she wore strange coat of arms. We must find out who she is and trace her crest." Father said.
"I can help." Tony said.
"No...it's to risky to involve mortals." Father denied.
Rudolph and I walked.
"What have we got to lose?" Rudolph started.
"We've been searching for three centuries." I finished.
"This is what comes from contact with mortals! Disrespect! Insolence!" Father snapped.
"Frederick, the twins do have a point." Mum pointed out.
"Alright, help if you can *steps closer to Tony backing him up to the stairs* But do not think to change your mind and betray us to our most hateful enemy, or my wrath will be revealed. Am I clear?" Father said. Tony slowly nodded. Father gave him a look. Tony frantically nodded his teeth showing.
We were leaving the crypt.
"I think our Father likes you." I spoke.
Tony looks at me. "That was liking me?"
"I know he can seem like a monster." Rudolph said.
"He is a monster." Tony said.
"But you don't understand what it like for us vampires to be so tormented." Rudolph said.
"Oh yeah, happens to me everyday at school." Tony saidm
Rudolph and I froze and looks at Tony with angry look. "Who dares torment our friend!?"
***McAshton Manor ***
After planning a scary prank to scare the McAshton twins, we got Tony dressed in a costume which was his cape and a cereal box which we placed on his head.
Right now were flying to the manor to get our prank in action. After we got there we found the twin's bedroom I opened the window and we crawled in and hid at one of the twins headboard. Rudolph used his powers to close the window which woke up one of the brothers. The boy got out of his bed and went and jumped on his brothers bed and shook him awake.
"Nigel! Nigel! Wake up!" Twin number one said.
Scare time! Rudolph and I lifted Tony up by his ankles using our vampire strengths and placed him on the board of the bed. We started watching as he used his arms to wave his cape around.
"I am the Lord of the Underworld! I am your master!" Tony said in his scary voice.
We thought things were working one-hundred percent..well until the lighting struck outside revealing Tony's glasses.
"It's Tony Thompson!" Twin number two said.
"Get him!" Twin number one said.
Rudolph and I immediately grabbed Tony with our super speed and placed him on the floor. We jumped on the board of the bed glaring at the brother's.
"We don't think so." we said in a dangerous tone.
Both of the brothers started screaming. We gave them the hush motion with our fingers. The boys immediately went silent.
"We are the feindish friends of Tony Thompson. If you do not treat him with respect-" Rudolph started.
"You will feel our anyone what you just witnessed and you'll be bat bait." I finished.
After that we hissed and our eyes glowed groing bat wings from our ears. Lighting struck outside. The boys started screaming again. We could hear Tony giggling. Rudolph and I heard the door opening so we grabbed Tony and flew off.
We dropped Tony back at his house then headed back home.
