Read Avenging Autumn: Seasons Change Book 1 of 4 for Free Online

Indianapolis for school when IU is much
closer?”
    “ I don’t know,” Autumn answered,
“maybe I thought there was a guy up there who was going to art
school because it’s supposed to be one of the premiere schools of
art in the country, and he wouldn’t mind a new girl shacking up
with him.”
    Benny smiled at her, “You’re going to go there
just for me?”
    “ Of course, I’m majoring in
accounting, which is pretty much the same where ever you
go.”
    He only stared at her, unable to find the
words to express how he felt. Finally he leaned down and kissed her
deeply.
    They had not been intimate yet but Benny knew
they were very close, so his next gesture wasn’t just an act of
kindness but also an attempt to speed things up. “I got a little
surprise for you too.”
    “ Cool, I love
surprises.”
    Benny reached into his jacket pocket and
produced an envelope. He then opened it and pulled out two concert
tickets.
    Autumn read the headliners on the tickets and
squealed, “Oh my God, you got Marilyn Manson tickets.”
    “ Yep, this Saturday at the State
Fair grounds.”
    She kissed him again and that night they made
love for the first time. Then the second. And a third.

    “ So, if she was killed by a
vampire, why cut her throat? Why didn’t they suck her blood?” Benny
asked.
    “ They don’t work like that,” Frank
explained, “their very secretive and they wouldn’t do anything to
draw attention to themselves. They wanted to leave a message and
that’s how they did it. Now tell me what’s going on with
Autumn.”
    Benny told his father everything Autumn had
told him and when he finished he repeated the question he had
previously asked.
    “ Will you help us, Dad?”
    Frank pulled his wallet out of his back
pocket, fished through it a little and removed an old, beat up
business card.
    “ I’ve never trusted these people,”
he said, “from the very first moment I met them. Go and see this
guy, he’ll give us everything we need.”
    “ So you’re in?” Benny asked,
grinning.
    “ Of course I am,” The Old Man said,
returning the smile.
    Benny hugged his father for the second time in
one day, “Thanks, Dad.”
    The two men stepped away from each other, both
giving Jack an embarrassed look.
    “ So, what do you say, Jack,” Benny
urged, “are you in?”
    Jack let out a sigh. “Vampires, huh? We could
all die on this little adventure.”
    “ What do any of us have to live
for?” Benny in-quired.
    Jack thought about the question a moment and
about how much he loathed his job, “Well, when you put it that way.
Fine, I’m in.”
    “ Alright then,” Frank said,
clapping a hand on Jack’s shoulder, “let’s get started. First, you
guys need to go see that friend of mine. I have a few things to
grab from my office, and then we’ll all meet back at Jack’s
house.”
    The Writemans said their goodbyes and the
hearse sped out of the parking lot toward Bloomington, which was
about ten miles north of Triloville.
    Frank turned and began to walk back into his
build-ing when he heard a rustling in a nearby tree. He looked up
in time to see a small bat flying away to the north.
    He had a feeling more visitors would show up
soon.

    As Jack, Benny, and Autumn pulled into the
drive-way of the small two bedroom house in Bloomington, the
headlights of the hearse fell on a skinny, balding man, waving at
them from the leaf covered lawn. Benny couldn’t help but laugh at
the man’s pink bathrobe and large, yellow toothed grin that almost
made him look like a mad scientist’s assistant in an old black and
white monster movie, all he needed was the hump on his back. Jack
rolled the window down.
    “ How’s it going?” the man shouted
over the rustling leaves that were being blown around by a sudden
harsh wind, “Hey, it would probably be easier if you guys turned
around and backed into the garage.”
    “ No problem,” Jack said. He rolled
the window back up and turned to Benny, “Dad sure keeps
