Through Midnight Eyes {Sequel To October Surprises!}

Realization Hurts

Gregory smirked as his little sister came up to the plate. I noticed Frederick's face getting redder by the moment, IF that's even possible. Tony was having a spazz attack behind his best friend...Who could blame him? Pretty soon, I'm sure Frederick is finally going to flip his cord and accidently slaughter everyone in the room.

Uncle Bob stated more than asked, "You know what happened."

"Yes, Mister Thompson, I do-" The sweet vampire girl nodded solemnly until she was rudely interrupted. Guess who?

Frederick rose, "NO. My daughter does not know what happened."

Ana cried out, "But Father!-"

"No Ana."

It was Rudolph who spoke this time. Wait, I thought he believed Gregory's theory? Damn, this family is full of undead mixed signals. It's a good thing I paid attention in health class, maybe I can sit everyone down and have a intervention. My chain of intelligent thoughts were cut off after Frederick let out his anger on a cheap pen. Ink spilled out everywhere, oh that's gonna be hell to get out of the carpet. Then again, they're vampires! They don't care about a little stain on the MORTAL made flooring!

Aunt Dottie reassured slowly, "It's okay...you can tell us."

Freda disagreed, "We would tell you if we could. The trouble is, that we don't know what EXACTLY happened in the first place." Translating; we have no freaking clue.

Gregory huffed, "I know."

My relatives turned to the pale boy with curiosity, Rudolph rolled his eyes in annoyance. Well SOMEONE has to tell them SOMETHING. True or not. The Sackville-Bagg at least considers Tony's parents to be friends more than food.

"Say nothing!" Frederick warned.

Ha, like that'll stop him. It seems the more Gregory gets his father upset, the more he smiles. I'm not complaining. His smile would make all the girls in the world swoon and forget completely about that sparkly Cullen.

My boyfriend leaned forward, practically invading Uncle Bob's personal space bubble, "The stone...was a fraud."

Uncle Bob shouted in disbelief, "FRAUD?"

"Oh, I forgot. You are human, so I must dumb down my vocabulary a bit. I mean...the stone is a FAKE." I glared at Gregory, unfortunately, he didn't seem to notice. I'm gonna kick his ass for that later.

Aunt Dottie rolled her eyes but let it go, "Does this mean there's no such magic that can turn vampires back into humans?"

Gregory was on a roll, "Of course there is. However, the stone we had possession of wasn't the real one. I think the actual stone is still out there, hidden away from the existence."

Ana's eyes shined with hope as Rudolph tried to blend in with his surroundings after seeing his father nearly blowing a vampire vein out. Much to my shock, James was calmly lounging next to the vampire children. The craziness of it all probably got to his head, making him strangely quiet. Ah! This scary golden silence is burning my ears!

Thank god, Uncle Bob replied, "Well-that...sucks!" I almost burst out laughing. If I did that, everyone in the room would probably hate me, including my ever LOVING boyfriend.

Frederick declared, "If only that was true."

Gregory scowled and crossed his arms, "What do you know Father? Here you are chattering about, not even thinking realistically!"

Tony whimpered, "Oh god! Oh god!"

Aunt Dottie stared at her child in panic, "Are you alright Tony? Do you have to go to the bathroom?" Probably the most embarrassing thing a mother could say in front of people.
