I didn't get to ask Sunny and Uncle Frank why what seemed like the entire population of their race was hunkered down in their house above. The beautiful blonde beat me to it.

"They've come looking for help," she said. Almost apologetically. As if they'd made some horrible error.

Uncle Frank didn't seem to agree with her. As his arm slid around her shoulders again, pride beamed from his handsome face when he spoke.

"Moa went into hiding shortly after you left," he said, without a trace of accusation. At least I chose to believe he didn't blame it on me. "The entire vampire race was left without their Empress."
