Alice fell on her elbows, with a fearful figure. She was trembling.

"Jo... Joshua?" she murmured.

"Yes?"

"Take me home."

"Let's go." I said and helped her get back on her legs. "Come on, Tom."

We led Alice to my car. I settled on the driver's seat, on the right, she settled on the left seat and Tom get on the back seat.

"Who's that guy?" Alice asked while I was driving to the town.

"His name is Derek. He's a moron."

"He's... weird. I wonder what he wants from me."

I didn't answer. How could I tell her that she had a vampire hunter's blood? Yeah, that's right, I couldn't. And anyway, her father would be angry if I told her. Since I was thinking of him, my phone started ringing. The caller's name - Nicolas Banner.

"Yes?" I answered the phone.

“Josh, it's Nicolas here. I had to leave immediately to USA, Tennessee. I thought I would never have to do this again, but it was an emergency. There is a big killer vampire trouble out there and they need my help."

"And what am I supposed to do?" I asked.

„Take care of Alice.”

"That will be a piss. Derek kidnapped her."

„WHAT?!!”

"Calm down, she's now with me and Tom in my car."

„If now Derek's in this too... Take her with you. I want you to permanently look after her. Take her in your flat.”

I couldn't contradict him, since I never did, but that idea wasn't something I agreed on.

"OK, but... What should I tell her?"

„Put her through. I'll solve that."

I gave the phone to Alice. Of course, because of the vampire hearing abilities I could hear everything Nicolas was saying.

"Yeah?" Alice said.

„Darling, it's daddy here. I had to leave for some time, job trouble, you know how's that going.”

"Not fair. Will you leave me alone... again?"

„I don't like it either, darling, but I have to. But I'll ask you something.”

"Anything!"

„Trust Josh and his pals.”

I couldn't help smiling.

"But... um, ok, daddy, if you say so... When will you be back?"

I was about to start laughing. I didn't know that Alice is "daddy's girl".

„I'm not sure. It can last some days, weeks or even months.”

"Oh...Try to be back as fast as you can, ok?"

„I promise.” Nicolas said and turned off the phone.

"Do you know my father?" Alice asked.

"Yeah." I said, taking my phone back.

I entered the town and drove on the way that leads to my home.

"Why did you take me this way? My house is..." Alice started.

"I know, but we're not going to your house." I said, interrupting her.
