INTRODUCTION

Author's Name: Emachinescat 

Title of Story: Darkening Day 

Series: Bayport Vampires  

Type of Story: SN 

Rating of Story: Teen

Characters in Story: Frank, Joe, Fenton, Laura, Gertrude, the Gray Man, and some OC's that will show up in later stories in the “Bayport Vampire” series: Agent White, Roth, and Vladamir.  Also there is a brief reference to the Twilight characters that were in the first story and a phone call from Alice at the very end, but other than that this story is Twilight-free. 

Warnings: A little “fantasy violence” and it has vampires in it!  Also, you should probably read “After Midnight” before you read this.  You don't have to to understand the story but I don't go into great detail about what happened in the first one in this story, so if you want the whole story I'd read After Midnight first.

Plot Blurb: Takes place after After Midnight.  Frank and Joe are returning to Bayport from their life-changing trip to Forks.  Someone else has heard about their adventure and will stop at nothing to obtain Joe's secret “powers” in his quest for his own personal fountain of youth. 

Splash Page: Joe frowned, still strapped to the gurney.  “Obviously something happened.  Why else would you scream like you were being tortured?” 

“Okay, it hurt initially,” Frank quickly admitted.  “But the pain is gone now.  And look on the bright side—even though it caused me a few seconds of pain, at least I didn't die—you're okay, brother!” 

“You mean, you're okay,” Joe corrected with a hint of a smile in his otherwise dead eyes. 

“Erm, yeah, I suppose I am.  I guess I was so worried about you I didn't even think about what could've happened to me,” Frank mused.   

“Typical,” Joe said.  There was still guilt in his eyes, but Frank knew Joe well enough to know that he couldn't force Joe to understand that there's nothing to be sorry for—Joe would have to eventually find out for himself. 

Suddenly there was a fierce growl from somewhere very nearby.  Several of the vampires guarding the cell sprung like lightening into fighting positions and let out threatening, terrifying hisses.  Then there was a scream, “KILL THEM ALL AND BURN THEIR ASSASSIN HIDES!” 

So fast that neither boy could keep up, a great number of vampires—even more than the Assassins guarding them—burst into the dungeon and a raging battle ensued.  The sound of metal tearing against metal, the shrieks of dying vampires, and the sound of explosions and the smell of sulfur and ash instantly filled the Hardys' senses as the two groups of vampires began to literally tear each other apart. 

Special Notes: This story will make sense even if you don't read After Midnight first, but I recommend that if you haven't read the first story already, you do so before reading Darkening Day.
