Gregory's POV

The day has been boring and anxious. My whole family and I wait for tony and Vivian to arrive, hoping for good news while we stay as quiet as possible, Their mother was home. We all sat around having our separate day dreams. Hours and hours pass until we finally hear the front door open

"My god Vivian! What happened" their mother screams

I didn't hear vivians voice but running up the second stair case. We all look at eachother. What does she mean what happened?

"Honey" their dad begins to speak before getting cut off

"I said what happened" their mother gets loud with concern

"There is this man. He's unwell. He believes vampires exist and live among us. He came to our job site today with 'proof' they exist. He attacked Vivian saying her and tony are apart of a vampire cult. That he has seen them before in a graveyard"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Rookery attacked Vivian again, but this time in daylight where there were witnesses. He's becoming more dangerous. He's also on to us. My whole family looks sick to their stomachs with this news

"What are we going to do about this? He attacked our daughter! He needs to be punished! If he isn't well he can't be walking around" mrs Thompson says

"I agree darling. Mr McCallister said there will be something done. I'm going back now to see what is going to happen" mr Thompson says

"Dad" tony says "is he going to come after us?"

"No. I promise" mr Thompson says

"I'm coming with you. Tony you stay here with Vivian. Well he back soon. Lock all the doors"

Then there was a few moments of silence before the basement door opened and tony appeared.

"What is going on" mother frantically asks tony, knowing the answer isn't going to be good

"Rookery. He came to my dads job and saw Vivian and I. We thought he left but instead he attacked Vivian. I don't know what exactly went on. She hasn't said much. All I really heard what him saying Vivian and I are in a vampire cult. I don't even know what a cult is"

Voices erupted around me, covering together. My brain fogged over and I blacked out all their conversations and questions. The only thing going through my mind was how I wasn't able to be there for Vivian—to protect her. I still can't, and I won't ever be able to unless I become human. Being a vampire I can protect her at night or in the dark but, in the day light (or light in general) around crosses or certain artifacts I am useless.

"Gregory" rudolf shakes my arm "what do you think?

"About..." I question, obviously confused from not listening and being caught up in the own thoughts

"About what tony said? What he found?"

"..I...I— I don't know. I can't think" and I can't. My whole world is in slow motion and I just want to see Vivian. Touch her warm face and hold her close

"I'll be back" heading up the stairs to go see

My love
