"What is the Vampaneze Lord?" Darren asks.

"Mr. Tiny told the vampires centuries ago that there would be a Vampaneze Lord, who would rule the vampaneze and the vampaneze would obey every order he gives, and that the two clans would go to war." Mr. Crepsley explains.

After his explanation there was a short silence.

"Well... Good night..." Harkat says as he lays down.

I quickly check my phone. I really wanna talk to Steve and tell him about the vampaneze and vampires - I really do - but I know... I know I just can't.

It hurts me so much knowing I can't tell him the biggest part of my life right now... Maybe when we meet up again, when he sees Darren again.... If he we meet up and he sees Darren again.

I know he knows about vampires, but I don't think he knows I'm involved with them. I sincerely hope he has given up on them for good, I mean, he's an adult now - with kids and a wife.

When night came again we went off to try and get to the mountain, we got there about a week later and then the wolves had to leave.

We went up the mountain and and when we got there their were some guards dressed in green.

We walked up to the brightly dressed vampires.

"Who is seeking Counsil?" A guard asks.

"Larten Crepsley seeking Council."

"Gavner Purl seeking Council."

"Darren Shan seeking Council."

"Harkat Mulds... Seeking Council."

"Alicia Woods seeking... Council."

"Larten Crepsley and Gavner Purl are able to go but who are the other three?"

"Darren is my assistant." Mr. Crepsley states.

"Then he may go."

"This is a Little Person." I say.

"A Little Person? He may go, what about you?"

"She is my... Guardian." Harkat says. "She make sure... I don't die."

The guard blinks, obviously surprised. "Oh, of course she can go in then." And with that we all went in, when we were in another guard leads us to a hall.

Halls are what the rooms are called, like where you eat or shower. I forgot what the halls were called to be completely honest, and I wasn't paying much attention to what they were called, to be honest.

When we got to the hall of... Eating. We well ate.

It was yummy, even though it was cooked. It was bread and broth. Darren was devouring it.

"You liking your bat broth?" Gavner asks. I choke a little. Bat broth

"What? Bat broth?!" Darren gasps. "I'm gonna puke."

"What? Don't be stupid, you like it before why not now after you learned what it is?" Gavner laughs

"I guess you right..." Darren says.

We sit and eat for awhile, then an old man sits down at the table next to Mr. Crepsley.

"Its been a while Larten." The man says.

"It has, Seba."

"Who is this?" The guy named Seba asks.

"Oh that is Darren, he is my assistant. That is Alicia, Darren's friend ordered to come here by Mr. Tiny."
