“PACK YOUR bags,” Mr Crepsley said late one night, as he was heading for his coffin. “We leave for Vampire Mountain tomorrow.”
I was used to the vampire making declarations out of the blue – he didn’t believe in consulting me when making up his mind – but this was extraordinary, even for him.
“Vampire Mountain?” I shrieked, racing after him. “Why are we going there?”
“To present you to the Council,” he said. “It is time.”
“The Council of Vampire Generals?” I asked. “Why do we have to go? Why now?”
“We go because it is proper,” he said. “And we go now because the Council only meets once every twelve years. If we miss this year’s gathering, we will have a long wait until the next.”
