This stupid phone almost killed me. The phone alone was smashed into pieces, while my hand was bleeding badly. He shot it off my palm, "I am sick and tired of waiting...get out bloodsucker!" The hiding under the trees was over, the destination was close. To get there, I had to climb higher into the open and run. The chances to get killed are high...too high.

Bang!!!!

Rita's boyfriend was playing dirty now, throwing dynamite into the holes. Somehow he made my choice easier, both ways I get killed, one I get shot the other blown into bits. Reaching out for a stone with the size of a fist, I needed the right moment to distract him. I waited for the next explosion.

Bang!!!!

Now, with everything I got, I threw it into the opposite direction. The loud noise got his attention. Seeing his entire body heading towards the sound, I got out of the hiding spot.

"N/A!"

Why now?! He was fast, getting my leg, not able to hold myself; I fell back into the hole. Drac flew towards us, receiving the same treatment from the hunter. Instead of feeling afraid, he shock with excitement, "Another one! How cool is that?!" Holding my leg, I wouldn't help but feeling that this guy is not right in the head. Raising his hands towards the guy, Drac couldn't stop his last shot into the hole. The hunter froze, but for me I screamed out in pain hitting my back. Drac helped me out of the hole, holding me bridal style in his arms. He couldn't tell if my wounds are dangerous, he hat to get me home quick, "N/A, let go back to the hotel, I am sure Norris can..."

"They are dead Drac!!!" I started crying, "...there all dead..."

"And the hotel?"

"Burned down...there is nothing left!"

The count only saw one option, flying me home to my human friends. It will be a painful ride and for him a hard task to hold me. Before he tried out the method, he used to transform himself into a wolf, carrying me on his back. One half of the way as a wolf and the rest as a bat, this could work, thought Drac. In between he had to stop me from falling asleep.

From the other side of the road, a van drove into he woods.

They found the hunter, still frozen, in-between the trees. The driver got out of the car and inspected the area, "Damn, I am too late." It was Erika, hoping to find Drac here. She grabbed the guy and placed him in the back of the van, chained so he won't escape, in case the frozen state wears off. She knew that was his handy work, hoping that everything is alright. Her worries got bigger, as she saw the burned down ruins of the hotel.

One and a half hours passed till we arrived at Franky's house.

All except the owner was there, waiting anxiously for Drac to return. They all had waned to cheer as he entered, only to gasp at the person in his arms. Anastasia got her car keys and ready to drive us to the hospital. The doctor was more than irritated to treat all three of them in one night. None than less, he did his job and I managed to survive the blood loss, if only just barely. Drac received a compliment for acting so soon by the doctor and nurse. Anastasia kept him company in the waiting room, waiting till they could see me. The operation took three hours, even for the count a horrible amount of time. A few complications made it even longer, frustrating the vampire even more. Anastasia decided to pay Franky a visit, staying at his side for a while.

Drac could come into my room in the morning.

I just woke up and smiled weak at the count, "You came."

"I never left", he grinned back, holding my hand, "You will be fine. The doctor said that it might take a few weeks to heal, but you survive."

I sighted relieved, "I did it dad...I am alive..." Drac was curious about this, but refused to ask about it. He wants to wait till I am fully healed. The rest of the weeks, he came over on regular terms. Franky revered just as well, visiting me as well. Since we both had time, he told me his story, from being a hunter and how he came to quit. Erika came around to meet me too, wishing us all the best for the future. This was only a tiny piece of what she tries to prevent, unfortunately it was too late for the vampires in the hotel. With my permission, Van Helsing and she cleared up the corpses, giving them all a proper burial.

Once as we were allowed to leave the hospital, the welcome was huge.

Everyone prepared a feast in my honor, celebrating indoors because of the sun. Franky and Anastasia noticed how close I became with Drac, knowing that it was more than just a small crush. They find it for the best for me to be with the count, living with him in his hotel, for me too many changes, way too fast for my taste. For the count, he held me close to his heart, "I will wait for you...not matter how long it takes." Mavis even offered to come over to England for often with the family. Franky however, sees it as best not to stay here for too long, "I know you lost your family and all, but staying won't get them back either."

"So you want to me to leave...just like that?"

He shook his head, "No, you say your farewell to your family and then...you go. Like Mavis said, you can always come back for the holidays, you are always welcome here." I was unsure of it, as he got up from his seat, "Oh there is one more thing for me to give you." Returning with a box, he pressed it against my stomach, "I am not very fond of your father, as well as you know, but there is something I didn't tell you about Norris." I swallowed hard, hoping not hear something bad.
