Through Midnight Eyes {Sequel To October Surprises!}

We Love Mortal Huggers

Thousands of voices filled the room at once, expressing their anger about the terrible mixup. James covered his ears in pain. I couldn't blame him, these vampires sure know how to raise hell. Gregory glared at Junior once more before leading me to the empty leather couch.

"Nice family you got here."

He rolled his eyes, "You only met four of them, please don't say that yet."

I chuckled slightly, "I was being sarcastic."

James plopped next to me, "My god! I've gone death!"

"Oh hush up." I scolded him. Good thing I did, for Frederick yet again rose and hollered, "SILENCE!" Everyone grew still. Gregory snickered behind his hand, being used to his father's yelling. James, however could never stop trembling when the mighty vampire even reached an higher octave. He practically buried his head in the couch cushions like a scared flamingo.

Frederick smiled, "Now, that's better." He sat back down next to his wife.

The vampire who I have met earlier, Ralph, slammed his rock hard fist on the coffee table, making it scatter into a million pieces, "How is it possible? We are supposed to be mortals!"

"Hmph! Who wants to be a stupid old mortals anyway? We are blessed! Fate gave us another chance to be who we are destined to be!" A deadly pale woman with bright blue hair shouted to no one in particular.

"We're supposed to be twisted creatures of the night? We're supposed to have no hearts and brains? I apologize, Thea, but I believe you have gone insane!" I agree with the dude who has the huge wig on. My opinions about vampires changed greatly ever since I met the hardworking yet humble family. Thea turned and glared at the wise vampire.

"Oh yes? Well-"

Frederick cleared his throat, "That's enough. We are not here to fight. I have called you all for a reason."

An elderly vampire snorted, "Could have fooled us!"

Greg nudged my shoulder gently, "That's my grandmother. She's one of the oldest vampires before us." I can tell. Even as an immortal, she had wrinkles all over her face. Why would she want to return to mortality?

"-Grandmother Jem was turned at age ninety seven."

James glanced at him in shock, "Damn..."

The head of the Sackville-Bagg family peered over at Nanny Jem, his face dipped with annoyance, "Yes, very important news. My eldest son, Gregory brought my attention towards it." I heard Junior huff not far away from us.

Nanna Jem glared at my boyfriend through her small glasses, "Why don't you tell us boy?" Frederick was about to protest, however Ralph interrupted him, "Go on! Go on!"

I felt Gregory tense next to me, only for a second, "The stone is false." God, how many times have I heard that already? A few hundred? Maybe I should record it the next time I hear it then whenever someone is about to say it, it's already covered!

"That's nonsense!" Thea growled. I'm beginning to despise her. Who's she related to again?

Gregory stared at his extended family long and hard, "Believe it or not, I have proof that the stone is faulty. Let's just say-a dear friend of ours decided to take a visit and tell a rather interesting plot."

Junior rolled his red eyes, "Oh? A fairy tale?"

"No. The truth. It just so happens there is a vampire who goes by the name Victor Jackkle, he's been currently gathering up nice strong mortals and turning them into nice strong vampires. A vampire army."
