Chapter 47

　　Louisa's POV 　　"Stay away from him!" I yelled, grabbing the vampire's cape with my hands as he flew past me. 　　As soon as he realized his cape was torn off, he turned back his head. 　　I saw a lifeless pale face with giant fangs and a pair of mad burning eyes. 　　My heart was about to jump out of my throat. 　　But I gathered all my courage and waved his cape in the air. 　　"I'm here! Look at me!" I shouted at him. 　　"What's your strategy now?" Mr. Salanmander asked me. 　　"To get his attention," I said in a trembling voice. 　　The vampire looked at me with a tilted head. 　　"Now you've got his attention. What now?" Mr. Salamander asked. 　　"Can you catch him with your tongue?" I asked. 　　"I can catch any flying things," Mr. Salamander said, "But what for?" 　　"I had to tell him that his son was still alive," I said. 　　"Do you think he will understand you?" he asked. 　　"We'll have to find out," I said. 　　"I hate to say this, but my sister is right. You're really going to get yourself killed."
