The Ghost Hunters and The Familiar Strangers

"How do you feel?". Evan asked as he sat down next to her.

"I feel a lot better, thanks for asking". She said as they talked for a while. Evan was telling her funny jokes which made her laugh to the point that her stomach ached.

"You look good when you smile ". They heard a voice say as they turned in the direction where the voice was heard. "Reed". She called. "what are you doing here?".

"I came to see you". He said completely ignoring Evan's presence. He pulled Laura towards his side as Evan stood up and looked at him. "oh I'm sorry. I didn't know you were with someone". Reed said sarcastically making Evan chuckle. "Well, now you know". Evan said folding his arms.

Laura could feel the atmosphere was getting heated so she decided to distance herself from the both of them. "listen, guys, I have no idea what this is all about but it's childish for you guys to be doing this. I mean it's not like I'm in a relationship with either of you". Laura said and Evan was sort of surprised.

Reed laughed when he saw the look on Evan's face. "looks like I've got a chance with her". Reed thought loud enough for Evan to hear his thought. Evan glared at him, he was about to launch at him when Laura came in between them. "Don't even think about it". She told them as her phone rang. She made a hand gesture telling the two guys not to even think about pouncing on each other while she was there." Hi dad". Laura replied on the phone. "Laura, is Ashley there with you?". Her dad asked.

"Ashley?". She asked as Reed and Evan looked at her. "Isn't she back from school yet?". She asked.

"No".

"Have you called the school maybe.....".

"We just called the school and the teacher said all students had been dismissed since seven".

"Oh my God! This is bad". Laura said.

"We'll contact the police. Be safe OK?".

"I will dad". She hung up as she paced around.

"what's going on? What happened to Ashley?". Evan asked but Laura was too paranoid to speak. "calm down, what happened to her?".

Laura looked into his eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks. "Ashley is missing, ". she said as the sobbing began. Evan pulled her close and hugged her." I have to go home to check up on mom. Dad said he'll contact the police". Laura said as Evan helped wipe her tears.

"Ashley will be fine. We'll help her".

"We?". Reed said as he scoffed. Evan let go of Laura as he walked up to Reed.

"Maybe now would be a good time to put the past behind us and walk together". Evan said referring to Reed's team and His team working together. He whispered into his ears. "just in case she was taken by Vampires". He said as Reed looked at him. "What do you say?". Evan asked.

Reed thought about it for a while. "Fine". He said as Evan walked up to Laura. "Reed will get you home and you are not allowed to go anywhere out of the house".

"But this is my sister we're talking about here. I can't just sit back and do nothing". Laura said.

"We promise to bring her back, right Reed?". He asked as Reed nodded. "Meet me back here with your team". Evan used his mind connection to speak to Reed. Reed got the message so he nodded.

Reed walked Laura home just in case there was any danger.

Evan quickly contact his team and told them to meet him at the flower shop.

However Reed was having a hard time convincing his team but after much debate, they agreed to help. Reed and his team came to the flower shop as two teams met each other. They introduced themselves to each other and everyone got to name each person.

"I guess we know why we're here?". Evan asked.

"Of course. We're risking our lives and identity to save an eleven-year-old". Bianca said sarcastically.

"Bianca". Reed's team cautioned her.

"She's not just an eleven-year-old. Her father is a vampire and like good wine, we have a rule which says, "we save those that need to be saved and destroy those that need to be destroyed" and right now, this girl needs to be saved". Evan explained.

"Do you think she was taken by a vampire?". Phoebe asked.

"yes". Sophia said as she showed them a video of Vampires lurking around their house at midnight.

"But why?". Phoebe asked.

"We don't know but we think it has something to do with the father". Chloe explained.

"Is the father peradventure sun screened?" Sam a member of Reed's team asked.

"Yes".Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"Could it be they kidnap the daughter to get to the father?". Sam asked as they all stopped to think of the possibility.

"That should be the reason". Sophia said.

"Then we need people to go to the house and Make sure the dad doesn't go anywhere while the rest of us, look for those blood-sucking demons and kill them". Evan said.

"sounds exciting but the question is where are they?". Reed asked.

"I can try to work out which way they went by going to the last place we saw them but I need help". Sophia said.

"Sam you help her". Sam nodded.

"We need people who will stay to stand guard over the family". Reed said.

"Emerald". Evan said as Emerald nodded.

"Jack". Reed said as Jack nodded.

"I think there should be people to wait behind just in case she comes here". Alex said as they all nodded. "I'll wait". Alex volunteered.

"I'll wait too". Flora said

"Fine then". Evan said. "Jack and Emerald will be in charge of the family". He said as the two of them went to their destination. "Flora and Alex will wait behind just in case she comes". Flora and Alex shifted back. " Sophia and Sam will give us leads". Sophia and Sam nodded as they went to the forest. "While the rest of us will go on the rescue mission". Evan said as he went with the rest of the team which is Reed, Phoebe, Tyler, Bianca, Chloe, and Jim.

These are the names of Reed's team; Phoebe, Jack, Flora, Sam, Tyler, and Bianca while Evan's team are; Adam, Chloe, Emerald, Jim, Alex, and Sophia.

Sophia and Sam are in charge of directing the group. Emerald and Jack are to stay at Laura's house guiding the rest of the family, Alex and Flora are to wait behind at the Flower shop while Evan, Reed, Phoebe, Tyler, Bianca, Adam, Chloe, and Jim would be going on the rescue mission.

"Good luck". Alex told them as they nodded and left.
