'Let me take your cold hands and fill it with my bleeding love.'

"TONY!" I yelled when I see him appear in the distance pulling something on his red wagon, I push myself forward. Once Tony heard me he stop and watch as I ran up to him.

"Don't ever do that!" I spoke with panic and worry as I catch what oxygen I have lost on the way here before I take notice of a weak Rudolph sitting in the wagon.

"Rudolph!? What happened?" I gentle pick the boy up.

"Hunter." He spokes weakly as he lay his head on my chest, I sadly nod.

'Damn it! That stupid hunter is still around'

I think to myself as Tony stands there in shock and surprised that I already know the vampire boy.

"Come on Tony." He jerked into action pulling his wagon as he walks beside me.

"You already know him?" I nod as I look ahead with him following.

••

I lean against the barn door as Tony stands with Rudolph as he hypnotize the cow before he went in to feed, Tony made a disgusted face and mumbled under his breath as he left the barn. After a minute Tony suddenly started screaming causing me to turn to see him in the road as a very familiar red truck with it's lights blazing about to run him over but before I try to ran to him, Rudolph quickly fly pass me and grab the boy off his feet. I quickly hid behind the barn door as I hear the middle age man yell in rage before leaving, with a sigh I started to jog back to Tony's house with the knowledge that Rudolph would keep Tony safe.

••

I pant as I walk through the front door and back into the kitchen but was stopped when I saw answering machine flashing with missed calls, with confusion I press the button.

"hello Parker? It's Mrs.Thompson, I'm just calling in to check up on you and Tony. Please call back." The answering machine beeps before moving on to the next message.

"Parker please call back."  Once again it beeps.

"Parker we're coming home." Anger and worry filles her voice and quickly panic clinches my heart.

'Rudolph better get Tony here fast.'

I quickly moved to the kitchen and make it look like Tony ate by quickly warming the food I had on the table and stuff my mouth full three times before sitting it down back in it's place. I filled a cup with orange juice and down it before putting in next to the plate right as I hear Tony's parents car pull up. I speed walk and open the front door with a smile like nothing happened.

"Well you got back earlier then suspected." I can see the worry in their faces fade and replaced with anger.

"Why didn't you pick up the phone?" Mr.Thompson speak with rage and an emotion like I proved something he was right about.

"Sorry? You called? I didn't hear the phones ring." Both Thompsons push pass me, Mrs went up the stairs to Tony's room while Mr went to the phones. Mr. Thompson shakes his head when he saw both phones weren't on their hooks.

"You called anyone?" I shook my head.

"No, who would I call when I don't have any friends?" I half lied to guilt trapped Mr. Thompson and it worked as guilt flashes through his eyes, Mrs. Thompson walks back to us.

"Tony's asleep in his room." She spoke before Mrs. Thompson showed her the phone he had in his hand, the panic I had earlier faded.

"No wonder he didn't hear the phone ring they weren't on their hooks." He put it back on it's hook as Mrs.Thompson digs a twenty dollars bills out of her purse and hands it to me.

"Thank you." I smiled and Mrs.Thonpson smiles back as she leads me to the door.

"Thank you for watching Tony for us." I nod my head at her.

"Your welcome." With that I began my walk back to the cemetery.
