The Ghost Hunters and The Familiar Strangers
Evan Claims Laura To Save Her

Laura looked at the full moon. She brought out the necklace.

"Laura, what are you doing?". Evan asked, stepping away from her. He was the only one that understood what would happen if the full moon shines on the necklace. "Everyone! Move back. Far away from her!". He yelled as everyone did as commanded.

Immediately Laura brought out the necklace and the light from the moon shone down into the necklace, there was a glow around her, so bright that Evan and his team had to close their eyes. Everyone was shocked.

Laura put her hand to cover the moon from reflecting into the necklace as they watched the necklace go back to normal. Laura hid the necklace inside her top. "Well, Does this prove I'm needed?". she asked referring to Reed but everyone was too shocked to say a word. "I'll take that as a yes". She said.

"How did that happen?". Sophia said since she knew about the necklace.

"I had a dream about it one night that it could kill vampires if it gets in contact with the moonlight. While I was wandering the forest, I got attacked by vampires and the moonlight came in time and saved me by destroying the vampires". Laura narrated as everyone wowed.

"That's why she's the key". Evan added.

"But, how would she use it if it's going to affect everyone?". Phoebe asked.

"That's why I said I have a plan to keep everyone safe except the bad guys". Laura said as they all nodded.

"Listen, I'm tired of waiting. Let's feed on him already". Lora said.

Derek moved close to Jones and was about to feed on his skin, noises were heard from outside. Growling and screeching sounds filled the atmosphere. Derek gestured for Charlotte and Samantha to have a look while Amanda and Lora stood guard.

Charlotte and Samantha came outside but they couldn't replace anything. "Wait a minute, Isn't Miranda, Catherine, and Amanda supposed to be standing guard?". Charlotte asked. "That's true". Samantha replied.

After noticing that things weren't right, they walked around; Charlotte to the left side and Samantha to the right. Immediately they were separated, Reed, Tyler, Adam, and Evan went inside since that's exactly where the war is. While Bianca and Alex went to the right side, Sam and Flora went to the left side.

Inside the building, Adam quickly avoided the punch that was coming from him by Lora. Adam and Lora kept throwing punches and avoiding each other claws and fangs.

All these are happening in their vampire form. They all transformed into their vampire form because they feel stronger and besides they are fighting with other vampires, they had to use the right form.

Tyler and Angela faced each other fighting as Derek came face to face with Reed and Evan.

"Two in one. I like it". Derek said as he transformed himself. His fingers were growing into claws, his teeth grew fangs as he positioned himself, ready to fight.

"I'll fight him. You should get them out of here". Reed said as Evan nodded. Evan stared at Reed to make sure he was going to be fine. Reed nodded.

Evan quickly released Ashley. "You guys should get out of here. Just go south, don't look back. Two vampires that came to your house will meet you halfway to make sure you're safe". Evan told Jones as Jones carried his daughter.

As Jones was about to pass the back door out of the house, He saw his daughter Laura. "Laura". he called. She stood facing her father as the words "Your father is a vampire" flashed into her mind. She didn't say anything to him but walked past him instead. "Laura". Jones called but Laura didn't turn back to him. She was too angry to talk to him besides, she has a mission to carry out. Whatever the scores, they'll settle it at home. Jones glanced one more time at his daughter before he moved out of the house into the forest, following the directions Evan gave.

After Phoebe, Chloe and Sophia had battled with the first set; Miranda, Catherine, and Amanda, and made them tired to fight, they lured them inside the building.

Bianca and Alex who were battling with Samantha also lured her inside the building. Sam and Flora also lured Charlotte inside the building as everyone stood facing their opponents. Derek laughed. "you all choose to die I can see". He said.

Laura hid in a corner, waiting for the full moon to shine upon the opening of the rooftop so she can illuminate the light from it.

"You're going down. You and your vampires". Reed said as Derek chuckled.

"You are in my territory. You have no idea what I have in plan". Derek said as Evan quickly took a glance at Laura but when she shook her head, Evan knew they had to buy time. "Never knew other vampires existed until you kidnapped an eleven-year-old". Evan said as Derek laughed.

"Less talking. Why don't we go into action?". Derek said as he launched the first punch on Reed, making him fall to the ground.

Everyone started fighting his or her partners. Different sounds of shrieking, Screeching, and growling can be heard.

"They are all sun screened so do your best to get a taste of their blood no matter what". Derek ordered his vampires as they changed statistics and started using their fangs to fight. The good wine vampires had to avoid being bitten because a bite from them can turn them into bad vampires. When a good vampire gets bitten by a bad vampire, they become worst. It's like the story of good wine and bad wine. If the bad wine is added to the good wine, it becomes totally bad. Laura glanced at the sky praying for the moon to come closer to the opening of the rooftop. When she saw that the moon was almost close and it was just a few seconds left for it to illuminate, she came out of her hiding and shouted. "Now!". The good wine quickly ran as fast as they could away from the other vampires. The other vampires not knowing what was going on tried to chase after them. The light slowly shone at the necklace then suddenly Lora launched at Laura, biting her hand. Laura tried to withstand the pain as the moonlight shone fully on the necklace, making the necklace glow Lora was the first to get burnt and destroyed as the rest tried to run, but they were too late. The light destroyed them all. Evan and his team had to wait for the necklace to go back to normal before they could go close to Laura.

Laura slowly fell to the ground as she watched her blood dripping from her wrist down to the ground. Evan quickly rushed to her side when he saw the moon shifting from its course. He held her tightly in his arms as he touched her face. Laura didn't say anything but the look in her eyes said a lot.

"There's only one way to save her". Sophia said as they rushed to meet them. "And you know the way". Evan looked at Laura as her eyes were slowly closing but before her eyes finally closed, Evan bit her neck with his fangs as Laura gasped for breath then slowly her eyes closed.
