“You are… human” I stammered. He is a group of vampire hunters. He vowed to rid us of all of us. The fox’s tattoo can prove it as well.

“I don’t understand” Clarice whispered. “Who are you?”

“He is not one of us” I don’t know what to say. I don’t know who he is. But no matter who is him. It’s difficult to explain.

Simon stepped up beside us just half way. With such a protective gesture.

“What are you doing here?”

“Stalking”

“Who are you?”

“Vampire hunter” he answered silently.

“What is your name?” father asked.

“Neil”

“When did the vampire hunter stalking us?”

I have to remind myself every time when I know that the lunar eclipse is coming.

“You doesn’t look good” Clarice whispered. “Are you think of it again, right?”

“Everything has changed” he said. “You should know. You’re violated that peace agreement”

Sophia narrowed her eyes horribly. “Say it again”

Neil is determined to fight or run away.

“Are you trying to charge we tear the armistice?”

“Everybody knows it”

“Really?”

“The Dumont Family” he started “I never believed all of you”

Jason roars. James smiled.

“Let me talk to him” Coulson held James hand. Make him backwards.

“We didn’t break the armistice” he said plainly.

“They say that you do”

“So you got the wrong information. And I will not let you hurt my daughter”

Neil turned to me. Before turning away.

“If you keep me here. It’s like you broke the deal anyway”

“Since you’re here. It also destroyed the deal as well” dad said softly. “We don’t need to pay attention to those rules anymore” mom sneaky.

“I…” his face tightened. “The devil like you made my father die”

“Did we ever lose a family member to a vampire hunter or a zombie?” I argue back. Even though I feel bad when I know he has to lose his father.

“We are not demons” Clarice burst while walking forward.

“My father was killed in front my face”

“Only the zombies like to kill people”

“Vampires are vampires” Neil is stubbornly obstinate. Clarice is furious.

“Why are you here?”

“For the bounty” he responded solemnly.

“Bounty?”

“The bounty of the Dumont family”

Someone grows up. Atmosphere changes immediately. Dad went to the phone on the table. He sends a command to the caller.

“Tell everyone double security. Then inform the court” he took the phone in his pocket and made a call with a grim gesture.

“What the hell bounty?” Celine asked intently.

“I don’t know”

Celine walked over to him and leaned over to whisper. “You have to tell us”

Neil shook his head and tried to look away from her. Her hand slowly move near his neck. Neil looks slightly tense before answering it out.

The value of the bounty may not be equal to the chance that it has come to invade our home.

Celine slowly pulled back and released her hand beside her.

“If you think to kill me. Just do it”

“We don’t want to drink blood from people like you” Simon mocks.

Melinda took a black cloth and tied Neil mouth firmly. Dad nodded agree with Melinda before pointing to the kitchen.

“Take him to the kitchen now”

Now James walks beside the counter. Simon sat with his arms folded against the wall. The other brothers and sisters sat in the chair with a serious face. As well as prepared. Then dad phone rang again. Mom turned to look at Clarice.

“This is unacceptable” Alicia said furiously. “The Dumont family is well respected. The vampire hunter have no right to do this. We must appeal to the council”

“Well, let’s go on with the vampire hunters. I think I can handled it” James spoke with a serious expression.

“Your anger hasn’t helped us” Percy said.

“Neil was right” dad said.

“Why?”

“It may take a while to find the answer” dad started sitting on the couch. His hands clenched. “I must call Cataleya and Queen Naomi”

“Naomi” Alicia frowned. “Are you sure?”

“I know” Cataleya is the leader of the vampire hunters and she doesn’t like Queen Naomi. “Everyone don’t go outside if not necessary. Until we know all of this. Vivian, you must not leaving home”

“Why am I the only one trapped in this house? It’s not fair”

“Vivian, you know why”

“I can take care myself”

“Vivian” Simon said gently.

I sighed exasperated. I would be die before the lunar eclipse. Mom might see the despair in my eyes.

Dad’s phone rings again. He heard it quietly. Before he turning to Celine and Max. “Wilson and Serena are coming. Go and get them in the house”

“We will fix it”

“Are you ok?” Clarice asked.

“I’m ok” I complained.

“Vivian it’s me” Simon whispered from the other side of the bed room door. “Can I come in?”

“Sure” I said. “What happened?” I asked.

“Have someone outside” he said plainly. “He’s trying to scrape at the window. Dad lets it come in and mom almost to kill him. They talk in the library”

We look at each other and nod. We went quickly to the hall quietly.

“Tell us why we should not kill you now” mom ask.

“I didn’t come for the money” the mysterious man confirmed to mom. “I came to allegiance to your daughter”

I don’t want to hear anything like that.

“Really?” mom don’t believe. But dad may be willing to negotiate more alliance.

“Didn’t you allegiance to her?” dad said softly. “You serve her”

“Yes, I swear to the court. But there are many of us want to allegiance with the Dumont family”

That’s prophecy again. No one believes me that I don’t want to be queen. I don’t want to be the cause of war that will happen.

“We will remember, but you must prove your allegiance first”

“When that time comes. You will get it” he bowed. “At that time”

I heard the window shut off and my parents went out of the library. I sighed deeply. Now I am very tired.

Simon leaned himself to stand up. “Let’s go”

It’s too late. My body doesn’t have the energy to stand anymore. Simon pulled me to sleep. And take back to the bedroom.
