Sophomore Slump of Comeback of the Year

Patrick's POV

"Frank?" Pete stuttered gazing at the figure, "Frank Iero it is you! I thought you were dead! Mikey said Gerard killed you!"

"Well Mikey was wrong," Frank said standing up straighter, "Wait you talked to Mikey how is he? Oh no I don't want to intrude, but I news about the Dandies. They are planning an attack on Chicago, they are calling in other Dandies from other branches to aide in the attack."

"No," I mutter in despair, "Reyna said the explosion would kill the leader."

"Well Patrick it looks like either the Mark is still alive or he is dead and another vampire took his place," Pete said thoughtfully.

"Which I think could either be Brendon or Gerard-"

"Wait Gee is here?" Frank asked wildly searching for his friend.

"Yes and so was Mikey, but Gerard is apart of the Dandies and he captured Mikey on a raid here a week ago," I tell him, and then I start to remember Reyna, but I push on saying, "he was also involved in the murder of our friend."

Frank looked at me with wide eyes full of shock, "Gee would never do that to anyone. Not even his own brother," he started to sob.

Pete walked over to him and wrapped his arm around Franks shoulder, "Frankie, Gerard was never in the right mind. The Dandies have warped his mind into thinking that we are his enemies."

"Okay,"

Pete turns to me and says, "You were going to say something Trick?"

"Yes, we will need reinforcements," I start, "so I was thinking we could call Rey's friends to help."

"That's a good idea," Andy piped up.

"Yeah sure," Joe agreed.

"I don't care," Pete mumbled.

I pull out my flip phone and punch in the number, (513) 680-4960, I put it on speaker the phone rings twice before I hear an accented voice, "Hello?"

"Uh hello?" I stutter not knowing what to say.

"Who is this?" The voice said sternly, "how did you get this number?"

He seemed like he was about to go on when I hear another voice cut him off, "Rus it's okay. Let me talk to him," she said, "My name is Rachel. Who are you and how did you get this number?"

"Ooooo, Stumpy you just got stood up by a girl!" Pete teased me.

"Shut up Pete," I retort back, " and don't call me Stumpy!" I turn back to the phone and say, "my name is Patrick Stump and I am apart of the Sixteen Candles hunting team. And I got the number from a friend."

This time the British guy cut in again, "Wait, the Patrick Stump? The one that Reyna talks about so much."

Another voice joined the conversation, "No it can't be Reyna would never give out our number to friends only for emergencies only."

"Henry we get it," Rachel said before whispering, "Captain Obvious"

"Ooo burn!" Came a voice in the background.

Henry yelled to the person, "No asked for your effing opinion Mark!"

"Um hello?" I ask unscertinly into the phone.

"Yes, oh um sorry about that," Rachel apologizes, "you were saying?"

"Um, well this is a little hard to say," I stumble over my words, "um, well I think you guys should come to Chicago."

"Why would we come to Chicago, when we are having vampire trouble here in Cincinnati?" Rus asked, I could hear his annoyance.

"It's about Reyna," I finally say, bracing myself for the onslaught of remarks.

"What happend?" Rachel asked, her voice faultering.

"Dandies attacked out headquaters and kidnapped her, we planned a raid on their house," I start spilling everything out, "I was supposed to blow up the base, but Reyna sacrificed herself to save us."

"You didn't tell them about the fact she was turned," Pete yelled from the kitchen.

"Shut up Wentz," I mumble.

The phone soon breaks out in yells of anger, "What did you do?!"

"She was turned," I admitted, "I thought she was dead so Pete, another vampire, and I raided the base to get revenge. We were about to die but she came and saved us. We don't know if she is alive, but we do know that she is on our side. And that the Dandies are planning to attack the city, and we need all the help we can get."

"We'll be over there as fast as possible," Rus yells, and the phone goes dead.

I turn to Pete and exclaim, "Looks like we have a plan to come up with."

"Yes, we do Trick," he replies.

Okay guys this is the last chapter of the first book. I will be posting a two part epilogue soon, and then the new book.
