It seemed to be a normal day in Ealing. Luke woke up from a dreamless night, nothing unusual, Rani and Clyde came over for a day that would probably be interrupted by some sort of alien invasion.
But they were happy.
"Sarah Jane, there has been some unusual activity in a small town in the East Midlands a couple of hours away from here." Mr Smith stated.
"Unusual activity? Could you more specific, Mr Smith?" Sarah Jane asked.
"Well, the living dead give off some strange radiation and I'm picking up signs of this radiation in a small town named Bourne in Lincolnshire, East Midlands." Mr Smith explained. He put a map of the UK on his screen and some tiny little dots could be seen near the Wash.
"Can you zoom in?" Sarah Jane asked, squinting at the picture. Mr Smith picked out the East Midlands, Lincolnshire, Peterborough, Bourne, Bourne Woods which showed signs of 4 living dead radiations wondering around.
"You said undead you mean like, rawr I'm going to eat you?" Clyde asked putting his arms straight out in front of him and walking round with straight legs, looking very funny – Rani laughed, Luke and Sarah Jane were staring at the screen.
"No, Clyde, not zombies, vampires." Mr Smith stated.
"Vampires? Like, I vill drink your blood, young Luke." Clyde joked, pretending to have a large cape and fangs and almost biting Luke's neck before he pushed his face away.
"No, these vampires are very different to what people think vampires are, but before I explain I also have the same wavelength of radiation from Sheffield Airport, roughly 99 minutes away from Bourne." Mr Smith explained.
"Do you think its more vampires?" Luke asked.
"No, I am certain of it. But I think I recognise the vampires, from a UNIT file from the mid 1900s," Mr Smith explained.
"Explain," Sarah Jane prompted.
"There was and possibly still is a group of vampires, the Olympic Coven, 7 vampires, who don't eat meat and try not to be thrown by the cent of human blood, one of them is so immune to it he had been a Doctor for the past few hundred years." Mr Smith explained.
"Hundred?" Rani inquired.
"Vampires remain frozen in the same state as when they were frozen; the leader of the coven is, in truth, about 400 years old but looks in his mid-thirties." Mr Smith stated.
"Ah, ok we have a very old man on our hands." Clyde joked.
"Well the Doctor's older, and how does he look?" Sarah Jane added.
"Anyway, I do not think this Coven is here to cause chaos." Mr Smith concluded.
"We can never be sure, I know the characteristics of Vampires, I almost got killed by one in my travelling days, but they're not lethal, well not as lethal when you have Daleks on hand to blast them to oblivion." Sarah Jane said, having a little conversation with herself.
"Then the Daleks tried to kill you?" Luke suggested, smiling his beautiful smile.
"Yes – but whatever. Mr Smith can you teleport us to Bourne?" Sarah Jane asked.
"Of course Sarah Jane." Mr Smith said.
"Wait, how do we get back?" Rani asked.
"It's an hour and a half away." Clyde added.
"If you use your mobile phones to contact me I can teleport you back here." Mr Smith interrupted.
"Ok, that's sorted. We ready to go?" Sarah Jane asked optimistically.
"Of course." Luke confirmed.
"Sure." Rani said, nonplussed.
"Let's go!" Clyde said enthusiastically. The three kids held on tight to Sarah Jane and they were all taken to Bourne Woods.
They all landed with a thump on their backs.
"Mr Smith's a bit rusty then." Sarah Jane said.
"God this place sure looks boring considering there are vampires around." Clyde stated, sounding a little disappointed.
"There are a few things about vampires you should probably know." Sarah Jane said, lowering her voice considerably.
"What?" Luke inquired, always one to thirst for knowledge.
"Well, their eye colour is crucial; black, they are thirsty and they will feel no guilt for drinking your blood, its there food, red, they've recently drank but that won't stop them either, then there's gold, they won't drink your blood and have no intention to." Sarah Jane started. Clyde's face lit up.
"You mean proper blood drinking?" He smiled.
"Quiet Clyde!" Sarah Jane snapped. "Vampires have really good hearing, they can hear your heartbeat and can also smell your blood, these Vampires will know we're here." Sarah Jane added another fact.
"Great, talking about giving ourselves up." Rani added, in a whisper.
"They won't expect us to know who they are. They like to play with they're food so we might have a chance." Sarah Jane explained.
"So, what, we see vampires, chat for a little bit then run?" Clyde asked, Luke remained quiet; Sarah Jane knew his extraordinary brain was ticking away and he was seeing the very small chance they had of getting out alive.
"No, they'll be right in front of you before you even step one foot in front of you. They have great speed and strength, be very cautious, and no sarcasm Clyde! They can kill you in seconds." Sarah Jane emphasized.
"Anything else?" Rani asked, she was also realised the slimness of ever seeing her parents again.
"I don't think so." Sarah Jane said.
"Look!" Luke exclaimed as quietly as he could.
There was a young girl up ahead being confronted by the four vampires. Every direction she turned a vampire appeared in front of her.
"Keep very, very quiet and back away slowly." Sarah Jane whispered, she knew that the vampires knew she was there, but they hadn't attacked, and they seemed to be paying a lot of attention to the girl.
Backing away, Luke spotted another group of people (most probably vampires) coming from the other direction. 'They can't be the Olympic Coven, Mr Smith said they only just arrived in Sheffield' Luke thought.
He saw them travel at super speed from the far distance to fighting the other vampires in mere second…
…which explained getting from Sheffield to here in minutes.
Sarah Jane continued to lead her friends away from the developing battle. We reached the edge of the forest.
"Shouldn't we do something? That girl could have the blood draining from her veins as we speak?" Luke protested.
"Look, we are defenceless, which is why I'm sending you three home." Sarah Jane said.
"Mum, no," Luke said, feeling tears prick his eyes. He knew intercepting would result in almost certain death – unless the Olympic Coven protect her, which Luke doubted they'd be able to resist the scent of her blood, or anyone's.
"That human girl could be dying, I have to try and help." Sarah Jane pleaded.
"Not without us." Rani stated.
"Rani, you and Clyde both have parents to go back to." Sarah Jane reasoned.
"But if you die I won't have a Mum," Luke whispered, knowing his voice made it evident that he was going to cry.
"I'm sorry, Luke but I can't send you to your death." Sarah Jane pleaded dramatically.
"You've done it before." Clyde stated.
"Clyde!" Sarah Jane exclaimed.
"Well you have, our lives are at risk most days with what we do." Clyde explained.
"I guess. Are you sure you want to do this?" Sarah Jane asked, reluctantly, she knew she couldn't leave her team behind.
"We're sure." Rani said, sounding a little apprehensive. Luke was composing himself, his tears had not yet spilled. Sarah Jane smiled and led her friends back into the forest. They stood behind trees and watched the battle become more and more aggressive. The girl was lying unconscious on the floor with one of the vampires with his mouth to her arm.
'I knew that Olympic Coven were bad. Where's the 400 year old Doctor?' Luke thought.
The blonde haired man that looked in his mid-thirties stopped sucking the blood from the girls arm. The other vampires had run off and left the coven and the girl alone.
Luke's POV
Going on what Mr Smith had said, I thought that the blonde vampire was the Doctor, though I didn't think his thirst was being controlled very well.
After the four murderous vampires had run off at hyper speed, the coven crowded around the girl and the blonde man.
"Stay behind me." Sarah Jane whispered, nervously walking forwards.
One of the other vampires, tall, with golden brown hair stepped forward and whispered something to the blonde. Then the blonde declared;
"Sarah Jane Smith, we are not going to kill you, you can approach without caution." Sarah Jane was scared. How did they know her name?
"Do not be afraid, we can explain, I understand you know what we are?" The golden haired one explained.
"How?" A young blond male looking like he was in pain asked.
"Such danger, such amazing things, saving the planet," A small girl with cropped black hair standing next to the boy in pain said.
"I think you owe us some answers before we explain ourselves." Rani said defensively.
"We need to get this girl to a hospital or back to forks can we talk later?" The blonde (presumably the Doctor or the coven) asked.
"Yes, we have a very quick method to get back to my house in Ealing, you can work there I am sure of it." Mum said smugly.
"Clyde can you call Mr Smith?" Mum asked. Clyde nodded and put his mobile to his ear.
"I really don't think now is the time to call the husband Miss Smith. No wait that doesn't work!" the blonde Doctor said.
"Miss and a husband?" A muscled dark haired vampire said.
"Mr Smith is not who he seems." The golden haired boy answered.
I then realised there was too many of them – there was only meant to be 7 vampires, there were 10, one of which looked like she was at least part human which I presumed impossible and another was very tanned and looked the complete opposite of the vampires, I presumed he wasn't a vampire, with the theories I had going round my head.
But they could explain later.
Sarah Jane's POV
I understood what vampires are, basically, who they are basically, what they can do, basically, but I could see Luke's brain whizzing away, hundreds of different theories all zooming round inside his head, it was hard for him, nothing made sense unless it had a scientific equation behind it, and often it just confuses me.
But we needed to get back to the house. The muscled dark haired vampire picked the girl up like she was weightless and brought her over to where we were standing.
"I think we're going to have to make a couple of trips as there are so many of us." I suggested.
"Would it be more productive if myself and Emmett may be the first to travel with you?" The blonde haired vampire asked, the Doctor.
"Ah, yes, names, can I just ask for names?" I interrupted quickly.
"Of course. Hello, I am Carlisle Cullen, this is my wife Esme, this is Bella and Edward, Alice and Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett and Renesmee and Jacob, he's a werewolf." Carlisle said.
"Werewolf? Oh my god you mean like full moon, aaa-woooo, blah, blah, blah," Clyde asked. Jacob then morphed into a werewolf before my eyes.
"Jacob!" Bella protested. The werewolf looked like it rolled its eyes and went behind a tree to morph back, I didn't want to know why.
I wasn't scared of Slitheen, or a gun between my eyes but werewolves? It sent a chill up my spine – not that I'd ever encountered a werewolf before, honestly I haven't!
