VICKY THE VAMPIRE HUNTER.

CHAPTER TWENTY. 

'Damien, can I please borrow your gate pass?' I asked hurriedly. 

'Sure,' Damien replied. 'But I'm coming along.'

I didn't have any time to try to convince him to stay.

'Okay,' I said. 

As we started walking to Damien's car, he asked, 'Who called you? And where are we going?'

'Someone threatened to kill my parents, and we're going to their house,' I replied.

*_*_*_*_*

The drive back to my house was very quiet. My hands were shaking with so much fear Damien had to drive. I gave him directions. 

Finally, I saw the car approaching my house. I jumped out of the car as soon as Damien slowed it down. 

'Mom! Dad!' I shouted whilst running towards the front door. 

I started banging on the door. Damien came beside me. 

'Should I break it down?' he asked.

Suddenly, the door opened.

'Vicky? What are you doing here?' Mom asked.

She noticed Damien and let out a tiny gasp. 

'Look, Mom. Not time to explain. Someone called me and threatened to kill you,' I said in a rush. 

'Oh my!' Mom gasped. 'Do you think it's that -ahem- hunter that's bothering you?' 

'Probably the same one that had us in that car-chase that totaled my car,' Damien said. 'I wonder why he's targeting you.'

'Did you happen to see his face?' Mom asked Damien.

'No. I think he was wearing a mask,' Damien replied.

While Mom and Damien were conversing, I was looking at her keenly. There was something weird about her. I just couldn't put my finger on it. 

Suddenly, we heard a yelp come from upstairs.

'Dad?' I gasped.

Mom's eyes widened in shock. We all started running upstairs. Mom tried opening the bedroom door. It wouldn't budge. We both started banging on it.

'Stand back!' Damien shouted.

We parted just as he rammed his body onto the door. It crashed open and Damien fell into the room. I gasped as I looked into the room.

Dad was lying paralyzed on the floor, and a person wearing a black hoodie was over. The Witch Hunter was holding a dagger above their head, ready to stab Dad. 

Wait a minute, wasn't that my enchanted dagger? How did he get his hands on it?!

However, when Damien had crashed through the door, the Hunter spun around, causing them to lose focus. The person was wearing a pig mask. 

The Witch Hunter jumped up and started swinging the knife at Damien. Damien kept jumping back as the Hunter got closer and closer. 

'Hey! Get away from him!' I shouted as I ran up to the Hunter and tried to do a judo-kick on him.

The Witch Hunter grabbed onto my foot and tossed my into the wall. Mom had ran to Dad, and was trying to heal him of whatever the killer had done to him. 

The Hunter was still swinging at Damien.

'Damien, look out!' I screamed.

Too late. Damien had backed up and was now pressed up against the balcony railing of the house. If Damien fell over he would crash straight into the living room. The Hunter punched him suddenly and Damien flew over the balcony. I heard a crash downstairs.
