Vampire Reporter

Episode 12- A Good Friendship

As me and Cerberus walked down the hall I couldn't help but think back to when he said, "Your my brothers new favorite toy." Why am I? I can't help but believe it. I mean he could just be toying with me but deep down it felt like he was telling the truth.

"You okay?" He asked as we walked.

"Yeah, but I can't help but ask.." I took a deep breath, "why did you say I'm your brothers new toy?"

His face looked sad. He looked almost like he was about to explode.

Why?

"Cause...He-" before he could say anything we stopped at a door. "We'll speak later.." He said opening the door.

I remember these doors. They were the doors I came through to see my mother for the first time.

When we enter I felt everyone watching. The place looked busy. Vampires walked back and forth. They all seemed worried. I'm guessing they know about the elf.

We approach my mother. She looked the same when I first saw her.

"I'm guessing you two are here to tell me that you know about the damn elf?" She said angry.

We nodded.

"Well since I and everyone else knows I need help." She said sarcastically.

"Mom of course I'll help."I say. She's my mom I want to help. Plus it is my fault that this elf is on the loose. "But I just need to know why is the elf this way?" I was confused. Elves are happy and jolly not evil.

My mom took a deep breath. "They were good, but until Mrs. Claus put an evil spell on Santa."

"Why would she do that? I thought Santa and Mrs. Claus were in love?" I question.

"They were until people stopped believing in him. So without people believing in him, he became sick. He was going to die but Mrs. Claus practice magic, not bad but good, it didn't work. So she knew the only way was to turn to dark magic. She made a deal with a vampire and it worked. But for a price. After five years he would be evil. Mrs. Claus being in love made the deal. So after five years he became evil. He would kill and kill. He turned all his elves into these creatures. Know one knows what they really are so we just keep calling them elves. And so since Santa starting killing people, Mrs.Claus couldn't handle it. She put a curse on him. She made it were, since no one believed in him anymore, that if someone from the undead, aka vampires, that he would come back. But first his elves would so he could be stronger, than he would come."

Man that's a lot to take in. All the tales I was told as a child were lies.

"I'm guessing that's why I wasn't a vampire as a child?" I ask looking at my mom with concern.

"Yes. If you believed in him as a child he would come for us all."

"So why is he coming now?" Cerberus asks crossing his arms.

"Well the only way for him to come is if one of us believes in him. Like celebrating Christmas." My mom says thinking.

Uh oh! I think I made him come.

"Um...Mom...I-"

"Ambrose I know what your about to say. I know you did. But it's okay. You had no idea." My mother said hugging me.

"So what now?" I ask

"We fight this thing." My mother says ordering two people to go get something. When they come back they had armor and guns. She turns to me and Cerberus.

"Take these. I need you two to help fight this thing." She turns to Cerberus. "Take care of my daughter."

He nods. We take the armor and guns and walk to another room. We stand on the opposite side of each other. Of course we don't change in front of each other. I'm happy about that.
