Gergory x Oc. I would like you to review and point out mistakes (but don't be upset about them, please!) and I'll fix them!
Summary: Leonora and Tony Thompson weren't exactly happy to be moving to Scotland and their vampire nightmares weren't helping until one night everything changes. I guess moving to Scotland wasn't so bad after all…or maybe I'm still wrong.

Don't let your lights go down,
Don't let your fire burn down,
'Cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe.
I was baffled when Mom told us that we were moving to Scotland because of our Dad's work. Tony clearly wasn't happy either. He stomped his left foot to the ground and declared, "I don't want to go!" and stormed off to his room.
I sighed and pulled on my curly auburn hair, "Well. Why are we moving to Scotland? What job did Dad get?" I think she was relieved to see that I wasn't going ballistic like Tony was.
"Lord McAshton gave him a job to design a golf course!" She exclaimed happily.
I snorted and leaned up against the counter, "They still have 'Lords' there? Are we going to become Duchess and Dukes?" I chuckled, "Oh, Duchess Thompson! How nice it is to finally meet you!" I bowed and put my hand out to shake, clearly, mocking a man I never met.
Her face tighten, clearly, she was displeased about my little act. "Leonora Thompson! You are too old to be mocking people!"
"Now, Mother dearest! I heard you mocking a certain co-worker of yours to Dad the other day!" I giggled and she smiled.
I think she was just stressed about the move, "Now when do we leave? It's in the middle of the school year…" I looked at her seriously.
"In two weeks." She stated calmly expecting me to freak out.
I glared at her, "Really? We couldn't have gotten a notice before?"
"I'm sorry! It wasn't finalized until the other day, Leo!" She pleaded using one of my nicknames. I wasn't exactly mad at her but I was annoyed. Don't get me wrong; I wasn't the popular girl everyone was obsessed with. I was just there. I wasn't a loner but I wasn't the center of attention either which was perfect for me.
"Just…" I paused, "Next time, tell us sooner that we might be moving, please…"
She smiled at me and nodded her head. "I'll go deal with Tony. You go…do whatever Mommy stuff you do!"
I walked passed her and up to Tony's room where he sat in the middle of his room all melancholy-like, drawing with Crayola crayons.
"Hey Little Man…" I murmured as I sat next to him. He wasn't really drawing or coloring really. Just pushing the crayon back and forth with a blank look on his face.
"Look, I know it's sudden but think of everything that's cool there!" I tried to cheer him up. "Like what…" He droned
"Well, we get to drive on the wrong side of the road! And we can get a boat and go look for Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster! And…"
He cut me off, "There will be no one to play with!" He cried out.
I smiled and gently pulled him into a hug, "Well, think about it. It's a change!"
Two weeks flew by like it was nothing.
We were in the car driving to our new house. Tony was still dejected over the move. I was simply empathic to the move. I felt for Tony but we would make new friends and they would have accents!
"Wow!" Mom exclaimed, "Where did the time go?"
I looked at her profile, "Tempus fugit."
She turned and looked at me bewildered. I laughed, someone said it to me awhile back, it meant "Time Flies".
She sighed and looked at Tony, "Scotland is beautiful, isn't it?"
He didn't answer.
"Tony, answer your Mother!" Dad declared and started at him through the review mirror.
I looked up at him and saw we were driving head on towards a tractor, "Dad! You're on the wrong side of the road!" I screamed.
He swung back into the correct lane as the man on the tractor began swearing angrily and swinging his arms about.
"What did he say?" Dad breathed.
Tony shrugged, "Every one talks weird here."
Mom smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry honey, things are going to get better…you are going to meet new friends here!" He only put on a blank face and looked away.
We pulled up to a castle like house a few minutes later. I liked it; it was kind of historical and creepy looking. "Here we are! Our new home!" Dad exclaimed excitedly.
I smiled. Maybe this wouldn't be too bad after all. I grabbed Tony's hand and walked towards to door to go inside, "Come on, and let's go fight over the best rooms!"
I saw him crack a smile and tried to move faster then me. I wasn't short by any means. I was 5'8", just above average. Not too short but not too tall either.
We hiked through the halls going in and out of rooms picking which one was a possible choice of rooms. I found one that had a nice sized balcony, which I loved.
I always wanted a balcony and the room was a decent size. My full size mattress would fit splendidly here. The black curtains were great because they could block out the sun and keep my room cool and dark. No, I don't have some strange fascination with the dark or creepy things. Ivory green is my favorite color and black compliments it. I'm not obsessed with death or mythical creatures like some girls that are in love with Edward Cullen from the Twilight series.
Luckily for us the movers had just arrived and started to bring the boxes of items into our house. They were even nice enough to bring the items that belonged in our bedrooms up.
I spent the rest of the day unpacking and setting my room up. I had my laptop on the desk, along with my phone. I had already put pictures up of the family, my friends, prom, and other photography that my friends back in the U.S. had done.
No one ate dinner tonight; we were all too exhausted from the trip and just wanted to rest. I was out before my head even hit the pillow.
I was on a cliff and there was a group of people standing a few feet from me.
"Where am I?" I asked them.
No one even moved to look at me. I don't think they even saw me.
There was a man standing in front of the crowd with four others around him; a woman and three children. The women had ginger-blond colored hair with what looked like a silver headdress on her very spoofed out hair and a very elegant ball gown dress. Was she an aristocrat? Would aristocrats even be out here?
The oldest boy, he looked about my age, 17, had spikes on his head, similar to a Mohawk, just more porcupine like. The next boy was about Tony's age, 8 or 9, and he's hair was spiked like how Tony would normally do it.
The youngest looking of all is a little girl with long blond hair with a silvery circlet on. The man was holding up what looked like necklace that was spinning on it's own. He was fierce and stern looking and his jet black hair gelled back.
He started speaking some type of language. I think it was Latin. I looked up at the sky, it was a full moon and there was a fierily comet next to it.
Suddenly a bright red beam shot out of the sky from where the comet was and into the necklace.
Everyone was relieved to see that beam had appeared but as quickly as the beam showed up, it was gone the moment someone blared, "Vampires!"
I watched in horror as the crowd of vampires began to scream and hiss at the men approaching. The leader of the vampire hunters stood in front of the leader of the vampires and for a moment, sized each other up, before the leader of the vampires lunged at the opposing man.
The leading of the hunters pulled out to be what to look like wood sword. "Who brings a wooden sword to fight vampires?" I snorted, but then he hit a button and it turned into a doubled crucifix and the leader of the vampires stepped back as the leader of the hunters lunged forward demanded for a stone.
The leader of the vampires hissed and tried to push the doubled cross away. They struggled from several seconds before the stone in the necklace became loose and was flung over the edge of the cliff. A pale-blond haired man that was watching the confrontation quickly dived after it hoping to catch it before it hit the sea.
I ran to the edge of the cliff and was disturbed to see my little brother floating in water on his bed.
I was jolted awake by screaming. I think I was screaming but then I heard a thump and then stomping past my room towards my parents.
I threw the covers of my bedding off and rushed towards my parent's room.
Tony was in there shaking saying he had a nightmare. I walked in put my hand on his head. "It's okay, Tony, I had one too." I said weakly.
"You both had nightmares?" Mom questioned.
"Yeah, it was about vampires." I told her as Tony gasp, " You had a dream about vampires too!"
Dad sat up, "Okay, go back to bed, we all have a long day tomorrow and no more dreaming about vampires."
I looked at Dad then back to Tony, "Come on Little Man. Lets go to bed. We can sleep in my room."
"I don't want to go to school tomorrow." He mumbled.
"I know, but we have too." I patted his back then climbed into bed.
I snuggled into my pillow and Tony snuggled into my back, "Leo, do you like this place?"
I yawned, "Well, I think in due time, we will both like this place."
Suddenly a whistling howl of wind picked up and Tony gasped, "Did you hear that?"
I snickered, "That was just wind, Little Man."
He retorted seriously, "Or the undead."
I giggled but moments after you hear a shrieking of a bat close by making me shut up.
Okay, I was still jumpy from that dream.
Yes, this chapter started off slow, but it will pick up in the next time. Promise.
Review?
