-The title of this chapter is from Nobody's Hero by Black Veil Brides-

*Emily's POV*

Its the next day, I haven't slept since yesterday. I was up all night reading Giuseppe Iero's journal. So far I haven't learned a lot, most of the spells are in Latin. I'll have to figure out a way to decipher it.

But since I've figured this all out, I've had a strange feeling. I don't know if it's just something that would happen after I figured it all out, but either way it feels strange.

Gerard got worried last night when I wouldn't go to sleep and kept reading the journal. He tried getting me to go to sleep but I refused. He ended up staying up with me. We must've drank at least three cups of coffee throughout the night.

We're both sitting in the kitchen, drinking our fifth cup of coffee. It's seven in the morning, I didn't get a wink of sleep. Despite what you may think, vampires actually do get tired and need to sleep.

Nobody else in the house was awake. Everyone was still sound asleep in their rooms.

"Hey, you wanna go on a walk or something?" Gerard asked suddenly.

"Sure, let's get dressed first though." I said pointing to my pajama's.

He nodded and began to walk up the stairs with me. I picked out a simple outfit, an Iron Maiden tee, a leather jacket, some skinny jeans and converse. Gerard was wearing a black t shirt, a leather jacket, black jeans and boots. We both quickly combed through our hair and walked downstairs.

Frank and Luna were in the kitchen drinking coffee when we got down there.

"Where are you guys going? Going on a date or something?" Luna asked.

"No we're just going on a walk." I answered.

Luna nodded and went back to drinking her coffee. Gerard and I walked outside and began mindlessly walking.

Something didn't feel quite right. Almost as if we were being watched. I just brushed it off as nothing.

"Did you find anything interesting in that journal?" Gerard asked.

"I don't know, it's all written in Latin and I obviously don't know Latin." I said honestly.

"Maybe we can go back to where he stayed? The mausoleum in Cemetery Drive. Maybe there's some things of his they never found? We could take it and see if that leads us to anything else?" Gerard suggested.

"Okay sure, just need to watch out for them." I said lowly, fearing they we're watching us.

Gerard nodded, we turned around and started walking towards Cemetery Drive. It didn't take us long to get there, it was only a couple of blocks away.

"Okay, where's the oldest mausoleum here?" I asked aloud.

"Does your family have one?" Gerard asked in a curious tone.

"I don't know." I answered honestly.

Gerard pointed to an old mausoleum across the way from us. The name plate was faded and falling off of the old brick wall. There was caution tape all around the place.

That has to be it.

What's strange though is I've never seen it before.

"Let's go." I said and began to walk towards the mausoleum.

The closer I got to the building, the more that strange feeling I had grew. I tried pushing it aside and continued to walk towards the building. But it wouldn't go away.

"You okay?" Gerard asked putting his hand on my shoulder.

Suddenly images flashed in my mind. One of Gerard at home, tears filling his eyes, Everyone surrounding him with scared and angry looks on their faces. The next image showed Mikey hugging Gerard, Gerard seemingly sobbing on Mikey's shoulder.

"Y-Yeah I'm fine. Let's go." I stuttered, trying to hide the fact I was scared.

I ripped down the caution tape from the door, to give me access to the door. I went to open the door, but it was locked. I'm not surprised. Good thing I have vampire strength. I grabbed a hold of the door knob and with one swift motion, I broke the door handle off the door.

The door slightly opened with a small squeak.

"I didn't think that'd actually work." Gerard admitted.

"Me neither." I agreed.

I pushed the door open further, walking into the mausoleum. The sunlight that peered into the building showed that the place was covered in dust. There were books scattered everywhere, along with candles.

I reached in my pocket for my lighter. I walked across the room, picking up one of the candles and lighting it. I picked up another candle, lighting it and handing it to Gerard.

We began to look around, trying to find anything else on Giuseppe Iero. I needed answers and I need them fast. My eyes caught the attention of another old journal, there were no labels or anything on it to tell me what it was. I picked up the journal out of curiosity.

"What'd you find?" Gerard asked.

I handed him to book for him to look through. Suddenly Gerard was whisked away out of the mausoleum door, the door slamming shut and locking him out.

My candle was blown out, my head suddenly spinning. I fell to the ground due to the sudden dizziness.

"Emily!" Gerard yelled on the other side of the door, banging on the door.

I felt a pair of arms wrap around my body, picking me up off the ground.

"Shhhh.." The person whispered.

Something was placed onto my face, covering my mouth and nose. Whatever it was, it smelled toxic.

I suddenly went unconscious.
