Chapter One

Dagger walks into the kitchen and looks at Me. "I can tell you've been hanging around that mutt, you reek of his scent,” He says as he walks over to the fridge, grabs a pitcher filled with crimson liquid, and sits down at the table. Before I can say anything, he takes a drink straight from it. Since he knows no one else in the house will be drinking the liquid in it, after all it is blood.

Looking at the clock that is on the wall behind the fridge and I let out a deep sigh. The clock says it is about nine thirty at night. Then I look at him. "Well, what else am I supposed to do? Sleep all day?" I ask. "School was canceled today because of the weather," I add.

He rolls his eyes and puts the pitcher away. "No, I don't know what you were supposed to do all day. Why, is the weather too cold for you humans?" he asks as he sits down again.

Shaking my head, I let out a sigh. "No! We got a foot to almost two feet of snow, plus the stupid roads were icy as heck," I say. He just shakes his head and gives me a look as if the say Sure and Hell can freeze over too. I stand up and he stands up too. He stands about six feet five inches, which is a foot and five inches taller than I am. We both walk into the living room.

"Too bad, if you went to school I could have had some fun teasing that mutt," he says.

Now this made me roll my eyes. OK, it is probably explanation time. Dagger is the only albino vampire and the only full-blooded one walking around in the sun, because of some experiments. When he was a newly turned vampire, which was who knows how many years ago, the council that rules over all the vampires wanted an ultimate weapon. They tried many vampires only to fail. That was in until they got a hold of Dagger after that he has been able to withstand every vampire weakness, like I have mentioned before about the sun.

"Dagger, that's not nice! How would you like it if Fang kept teasing you?" I ask. He only shrugs as he puts his pale hand through his white as snow hair. I sigh and grab the remote.

"I dunno he's never done any thing like it so who knows I would probably kill him or something," he says. At the beginning, I forgot to mention that Fang and Dagger both dress Goth, but Dagger takes it to extreme.

I just shake my head and try to ignore him. Then the wind howls and whistles outside. "That's mean," I snap. Snow begins to fall as the wind picks up; banging against the windows and sides of the house it knocks out the power.

"Who ever said I was nice and great! Just what I need,”

"Well you should be more people would like you,"

"Great, sitting in the dark with a vampire, I must be crazy," I mutter with a smile on my face.

"I'm not a people person...Hey! That’s not funny," he snaps as he glares evilly at me.

 

Laughing, I pull out some matches and candles. Lighting them, I sigh with relief. I never know what Dagger is going to wear. Well tonight, he had a ripped black loose fitting shirt on, combat boots; black baggy loose fitting pants that were so ripped his blood red boxer shorts were showing through them and a few spiked bracelets with a matching spiked dog collar on. His white hair was up in a pointy Mohawk. I looked down and compared that to me. I was wearing a long sleeved shirt with sweat pants, socks and slippers.

There was intense silence in the room. The only sound was of the wind outside howling and whistling. Even with that, the whole house was so quiet that you could probably hear a pin drop. "Where's the mutt any way?" Dagger asks.

Jumping, I place a hand over my heart. "He's uh...he's out there some where hunting," I say still staring out the window. Soon there was a noise right outside the front door. The door swings open and a werewolf leaps in. Dagger leaps from the chair he was sitting in. Standing in front of me, he lets out a hiss warning the huge creature to stay away.

“Dagger calm down. It’s just Fang." I say calmly as Fang begins to transform back.

"That's even worse." Dagger mutters.

I only roll my eyes and head for the hall closet. Pulling out a blanket, I return to the boys."Sorry, Fang, the stupid wind knocked out the power. So until you get warmed up, you'll have to use this blanket," I say as he nods and takes it from me. I sit back down in my chair and Dagger sits back down in the chair he was sitting in. Fang sits on the couch. We are all sitting in a darkened living room, with just a few candles for light. The silence soon creeps back on us.

Dagger looks at Fang and lets out a fearsome snarl followed by a hiss. Fang does not even bother to look at him; he lets out a low warning growl. They soon were staring at each other, challenging each other. Sighing, I shake my head. "Enough! Enough already! God, can't you at least get a long for 10 minutes?"

Fang shrugs. "I would if that stupid blood'sucker would stop snarling at me every single time I turn around," He says in the mono'tone he always uses. Great why did I even open my big mouth? Now there was going to be an argument.

"Who are you calling stupid mutt? I'm not that stupid, I know better than to go hunting out in a damn snow storm," Dagger snaps.

Fang rolls his eyes, "What ever I still say I'm smarter than you, this is only once, you'll see me do something stupid. You on the other hand, have done countless stupid acts," he says.

Rolling my eyes, I put my hands on my face and let out a huge sigh. Knowing them, they should by now, get into a fistfight. Dagger stands up. "I'll teach you to open your mouth and call me stupid!" he snaps, going straight at Fang, fist raised, ready to punch him. Sitting there, I dig my nails into the arms of my chair, trying to prevent myself from pulling all of my hair out. They were circling and dodging each other’s punches. Time to get the heavy artillery. I think as I quietly get out of my chair, go to the second hall broom closet, pull out a broom and walk back into the living room. You may think that it is funny, but it works.

"Stop! Stop it now!" I scream as I swing the broom and hit both of them in the head.

"Now, calm down, either of you even thinks about laying another hand on each other or even does lay a hand on each other...you will both get smacked! And I'm not saying where," I practically scream on top of my lungs.

They just look at me. Fang quietly sits back down. Dagger on the other hand is muttering cuss words as he walks back to his seat. I sit back down looking over at Fang and then at Dagger, just to make sure they are okay. Fang was dressed just like I was; except everything was all black and he had combat boots on with no shirt. The power soon returns. "Thank the Lord." I say as I go over and turn the thermostat up to about 85 degrees. Standing in front of one of them, I sigh, as I begin to be warmed up.

"Does anyone want hot chocolate?"

"I guess I'll have some." Fang says as he follows behind me. Leaving Dagger all alone in the living room.

He sits down at the table while I prepare the water. "How was your hunting trip?" I ask as I sit next to him.

"It was going good until the storm hit," he says. I only nod. Fang was not the talkative type, like Dagger, who always had to put his two cents in.

Loud rock music begins to pour into the kitchen from the living room. Fang roll his eyes and I just let out a sigh. "Dagger, if you don’t turn that down this minute! I will unplug it!" I yell over the loud music knowing he can hear me. The music soon goes at a lower volume.

I let out a little laugh; Fang however, just smiles at me. Dagger then walks into the kitchen. "I can't do anything around here," he mutters as he goes to the fridge and pulls out the pitcher of blood. He pours some in a glass and shoves it in the microwave. I am the one who usually gets him the blood that would be thanks to my Aunt Margret. She works at a hospital and gives me all the blood that is going to go bad. He sighs and then sits down at the table still muttering to him.

"Stop complaining." I say a little irritated with his attitude. "What on earth are you gonna do with that warmed blood?" I add.

"You'll see...The water’s done." is all he says. Going over to the stove, I grab two coffee cups, which have hot chocolate mix in them already and pour in the hot water. After I am done with the water, Dagger takes it from me. He then pours it into a coffee cup along with a tea bag. Fang and I are watching him from the table wondering what he is doing.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Fang asks as Dagger sits down.

"Yeah, thanks." He says in a low tone. I sigh with relief. For once in their lives, they were not arguing or calling each other names. Maybe they decided that they should change, but I doubt it. Fang nods and then takes a drink of his hot chocolate.

"Dagger what are you doing now?" I ask sitting there watching him.

But then I realize what he was doing mixing blood and tea together. "Never mind I think I know what you are doing... and it's totally disgusting," I say in a disgusted tone.

Fang looks at me and then at Dagger. He was sitting there putting two and two together. He soon makes a face of disgust, when he finally gets what I was saying. "Ewe. I'm with her on this one," he says.

Dagger rolls his eyes as he walks back over to us. "Why? You think its human blood, you're wrong it's cows," He says.

"Ewe...that's gross still,"

Fang nods. "Yeah, that's the only reason I can't stand blood'suckers," he mutters.

Dagger looks at me and then at him. "What ever," he snaps.

"Guys don't..." Was all I could get out before Fang cut me off.

"Sophie, your cat got stuck out in this weather, it’s right outside the back door," is all he says.

"Ranger? How did he get out? Oh, my poor kitty!" I say as I run to the back door and open it. In comes my nearly frozen to death cat. I scoop him up and begin to cuddle him.

"Oh, Ranger. I'm so sorry. I didn't know you got locked out," I say as he begins to purr in my arms.

"Dagger let him out, remember the cat dislikes him," Fang says reminding me.

I nod and then glare evilly at Dagger, who only shrugs and looks at me and then at my cat. "What? I can't help it. How was I supposed to know that it was going to storm?" he asks.

"Never mind that. You almost killed my kitty! Bad vampire!" I snap.

There was intense silence in the room; I think it was so tense that at that moment I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. Fang soon beings to laugh, which is not exactly like him, he usually is very quiet and does not show any emotion. "You should see the look on your face," he says to Dagger.

I look over at Dagger again; he had this dumbfounded look on his face. I then begin to laugh too. "Fang's right, you should see the look on your face. Only if only you could show up in a mirror. It would be hilarious," I say.

"What? She surprised me by saying that. What am I some sort of dog? You should be saying that to Fang, not me!" He snaps.

"What ever. But you are the bad boy type. So why shouldn't I be able to call you that?" I ask.

He looks at me. "Because I am not a dog, or a wolf, that can be trained. I can't be trained. Because I am a V'A'M'P'I'R'E!" He snaps as he spells out the word vampire.

"I know that already. And I'm allowed. My house, my rules," I say.

Dagger looks at me evilly; this made him look more like a vampire than ever. "I don't follow rules! Vampires don't have to," he snaps with a hiss.

"Oh, yeah if you don't want to follow my rules while you are living under my roof, then I can kick your undead butt outta here,"

"You can't make me,"

"You are acting so childish. Fine. If you don't wanna leave or follow the rules, then I'll just have to lock you in your room for now on,"

"Enough! Enough already! God! I have a migraine!" he snaps with a wolfish like snarl.

Dagger and I look at him in amazement; he has never done anything like that before. I roll my eyes and cross my arms. Dagger, however, hisses and bares his fangs as he gets up from the table and walks into the living room. "Jeez. You two can be so childish or you fight like you were married,"

I roll my eyes. "Yeah, if you say so," I say as I take a drink of my hot chocolate.

Fang and I only look at each other not saying a word. Then he lets out a snarl as he turns to face the back door. Dagger comes running in and faces the back door as well, he lets out a warning hiss as if someone was out there. For three minutes they both get tense and watch the back door

I decided to break the silence it’s creeping me out."Guys what is out...." was all I could get out before the back door was kicked in. Soon a huge crowd of vampires came swarming in.

"There she is, get her!"

Three or four vampires surrounded me quickly and tied me up put me in a sack. The last thing I saw before everything went dark was Fang and Dagger fighting off the rest of the vampires. I realized then that, they were only a distraction. "Dagger! Fang! Ignore them! Help me!” Was all I could get out, before it sounded like they through me in the back of a vehicle.
