Summary
Joss returns to Bathory, to finish the job he started during freshman year. When Vlad finds out Joss is returning and talks to his uncle, Otis Otis, about not killing Joss because he still thinks of Joss as a Friend. On the last day of summer multiple vampires come to Vlad's house to celebrate Otis's life. That's when Vlad meets Cratus, Dorian and several other unnamed vampires. Vlad finds out that Dorian has a taste for vampire blood. During this event we learn that D'Ablo got on the council of elders. At the end of the first day of school Vlad learns from Otis that Vikas will teach Vlad all he knows about the Slayer Society and until Vlad is proficient and he is still required to do his homework. On the 5Th day of school Eddie Poe pays the school bullies to bring Vlad to him after school. The bullies duct tape Vlad's hands together and Eddie puts a necklace of garlic around his neck. Eddie then cuts open his hand with a knife to see if Vlad is a vampire. Joss shows up, he takes the garlic off of Vlad's neck and Eddie nearly gets killed, except that Henry shows up and convinces Vlad to wait until not as many people can see them fighting. Vikas tells Vlad a story about how his best friend betrays him. Vlad finds out that Dorian knows everyone's secrets that he encounters, but he never shares those secrets. On October 31, Vlad and Henry go to the Crypt for a vampire Halloween party. Henry dresses up but Vlad does not Vikas is poisoned by someone so Vlad does't have lessons that day. Vlad wrongly exacts revenge on Joss without killing him; he breaks Joss's arm and beats him up. Vlad also finds out that they have been invited to thanksgiving dinner at the McMillan's. Vlad is nearly killed by D'Ablo but Vlad breaks the sacrifiacal blade that D'Ablos tried to kill him with, off in D'Ablo's body. Vlad goes to the winter dance with Snow. Vlad and Otis go to New York for Otis's pre-trial. The pre-trial and the trial are held in the secret room of The V-Bar. On December 31, Tristan is killed by someone who wants to get at the Vampires of Bathory. Eddie Poe ends up writing an article about Vlad being a vampire. After this Vlad skips school for several days with the intent of never going to school again. During Vlad's last lesson by Vikas he moves as Vikas and Otis have never seen a vampire move before. Dorian allows Vlad several questions about the prophecy. He finds out that he will rule of Vampire kind out of necessity and he will enslave the human race out of charity. Vlad and Otis go back to New York to have Otis's but it ends up that he is acquitted but Vlad is put on trial for destroying D'Ablo's hand and for revealing his true nature to humans. During his battle against Joss, Vlad's Father shows up and stops Vlad from killing Joss.
