****

Austin led Anna up the narrow staircase that Larry and Mike, the two vampires who had been guarding Ben, had just gone up. He felt her warm sweaty hand clutching his arm tightly; there was no doubt that she was just as scared as he was right now. Austin realized that even though most of the classes at Huntington High were useful, they didn’t teach the students one important thing: how to cope with the nerves and anxiety that you felt the moment you found out you might have to kill a vampire.

He knew that he had to be the brave one. If something should go wrong, he had to be brave enough to protect Anna. Besides, would she really want to be with a vampire who was too weak to stand up for his human girlfriend? It would only make him unworthy of her love – even though he felt like, deep down, Anna should be the one protecting him. She had been training for months to be a vampire hunter; he might as well have failed in Stakeology, which was probably the most important skill one must have in order to kill a vampire.

Natural instinct told Austin that, no matter what happened, he was going to have to do his best to try and protect everyone in the house from these guys. He couldn’t let Anna die because, quite frankly, he was beginning to fall in love with her. He would never forgive himself if she died and he had been so much of a chicken that he had just let it happen.

Austin also couldn’t let Gabe die – not after everything that he had done to help him and Lexi over the past year. If something happened to Gabe, Austin was pretty sure that Lexi would never forgive him. Ben had to stay alive because without him, they might never figure out how to get Lexi and Dan back. And, although Austin couldn’t figure out a reason why he had to save Craig, he knew that he couldn’t let him die here either. He didn’t know what was going on between Lexi and Craig, but Austin was pretty sure that she wouldn’t be happy if their professor died.

When they reached the top of the staircase, Austin pulled one of the matches out of the box. One wrong move and he was going to light these guys on fire – and hope that no one else in the house would get in the way.

As Austin and Anna approached the bedroom that Ben had been staying in, they heard the yelling. “How the hell did you get loose?” Larry’s voice boomed from the other side of the wall.

Before Ben had the chance to say anything in return, Austin took a step forward. “I let him loose.”

Larry and Mike both glanced in Austin’s direction, their eyes widened and their faces full of utter fear.

“Austin Graham?” Mike asked, his voice merely a whisper.

It took him a minute, but Austin quickly
