He wrapped his coat around him, his eyes searching for prey. The new city that had sprung up on the water was teeming with people, but he wanted to wait. \
Wait for the right one. His green eyes flashed, the hunger inside him growing.
He hunted alone, prefering it. His eyes narrowed. His cousin was out again tonight. Damn. He didnt want to run into him, not when he was still mortal.
He knew he would have to turn him soon, just not quite yet. A flash of blond caught his eye. The boy.
He moved closer, knowing that his interest was not helping him any. He fought his attraction to him, knowing that the boy was too young to damn him to this kind of life.
But still he hungered. Not for food, not something as ordinary as that, more like hungering for a life he had left far behind him.
He was so intent on the boy, he didnt see the dark shape approching him from behind. "See something you like?" The husky voice drawled softly. The man in black turned around sharply. He could feel his teeth start to lengthen. He looked the boy-man up and down. He would do, yes he would do nicely.
"Now I have." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alexander woke hours later, his mind groggy and his body strangely weak. He remembered the man with the bright green eyes and the hard body. His eyes widened as he remembered everything in a flash. His body, too weak still to move, curled up in a ball.
"You have a choice." The voice was smooth, gliding over him like silk. The fear left him and using all the strength he had, he sat up, leaning against the tree. It was deep night now, people gone, the moon high in the sky.
"A choice?"
"To live or to die. It is not as easy as you might think." Alexander blinked as the man moved closer. His eyes flashed in recognition.
"You!.. a vampire..." his words trailed off as he stared at the man in front of him. Curiously, his fright had fled, instead a heat started to curl in the pit of his stomache.
A fleeting smile crossed the older man's face. Then it was gone. "you dont have much time, your body grows weak. If you choose life, it will be a dark life, remember that." Alex almost thought he looked wistful. Then the look was gone as suddenly as it came.
To him the choice was simple. He didnt want to die. "Life." No sooner were the words out of his mouth, when a wrist was presented to him, a trickle of blood running down the length of it.
"Drink."
He lowered his lips and the choice was fulfilled. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He knew something was different. He didnt know how he knew, he just knew. Like a step had been taken, another link in the circle had been made. He shivered under the hot sun.
Brian slipped down to the water, watching the moss hang over the trees. Suddenly he wished they hadnt come here.
"You know the choice is going to be out of your hands." Brian saw him standing in the deep shadow of the tree. He was surprised. Kevin didnt take chances like these normally. He took a deep breath, then looked at his cousin.
"I know. I am surprised you havent turned me by now."
"I wont turn you, I know that now."
"What in the hell do you mean by that?" Brian asked, moving closer. Fear mingled with excitement.
"Your lover will." That is when Brian saw that Kevin was not alone.
Alex. Dear God. "What have you done?" he whispered, sinking to his knees. Alexander, keeping to the shadows, approached him.
"I am sorry. I saw Kevin last night, not knowing who he was." understanding dawned in Brian's eyes.
"Why?" Alex shook his head. The truth is he didnt know why, he had been compelled.
"I dont know, it just seemed meant to be." Brian wanted to scream. Not this way, please, not this way.
"Yes, this way." Kevin said, reading his cousins mind. Brian didnt even look at him.
"No!"
"Yes." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The mansion, tucked away in the Louisiana bayou, was dark. The only light came from the moon. The boy crept closer, wanting a better look. He had always been facinated with the old place, even more so when THEY moved in.
Something about them called to him, and he just couldnt resist.
He thought he saw a flicker of movement, and stopped, his heart beating furiously in his chest. But he wasnt scared to get caught, no it was more in anticipation. "You shouldnt be here you know." He jumped, shrieking. The voice chuckled.
"I am sorry, sir, just looking.. I'll leave now." He stuttered, trying to ease away slowly.
"How old are you, boy?" The voice was smooth, almost hypnotic, and he found himself not moving.
"18" He tried to see into the shadows, trying to see who it was that was talking with him, to no avail.
"Young." Nickolas found himself standing taller.
"Old enough." The voice chuckled again.
"You think so? you are never old enough." Then, as the man started to move toward him, Nickolas finally got a glimps. Dear god. He was beautiful, dark and all muscle. Heat rushed through his body, but he found he couldnt move.
Kevin reached out a hand before he could stop himself, and brushed Nickolas' cheek with his hand. His eyes grew greener as the boy shuddered. "You shouldnt have come here, there is no turning back now, you know that dont you?" Kevin asked, his hand dropping down to the delicious curve of Nickolas' neck.
"I...I.." Nickolas couldnt speak. He felt himself get lost in the green eyes of this man. Kevin moved closer. He kept a tight rein on his emotions, letting the seduction unfold. He watched Nickolas' body react to his touch, the pulse at the base of his throat, the clenched hands... and the rock hard erection in his pants.
Kevin licked his lips. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The heavy drapes kept the sun out, kept them safe. Brian, pacing back and forth, kept his eye on the clock, waiting for the sun to set. He was hungry, and he could feel the pulse of the city in his blood. Almost time to feed.
Alexander watched from his chair against the wall. Brian still hadnt forgivin him, but Alex had all the time in the world. He knew Brian couldnt last much longer. Brian needed Alex like he now needed blood. To live.
"Impatient arent we?" a voice drawled from the archway, and Brian glanced up.
"shut up, cousin dear." He said sarcastically. Kevin raised an eyebrow, then raised his hand. Both Brian and Alex watched as a tall blond was ushered into the room. Both felt the change in the air. One more link had been made. Nick looked up at Kevin, his blue eyes bright.
"Yes, Nickolas, we feel it too." Kevin said quietly. Nick looked back at the two other men who came toward him. Alex looked him up and down.
"Welcome." Nick nodded. Something about him made Nick pause. The potent sexuality of this man was apparent in every move he made.
Brian, looked the newcomer up and down. "Your Kevin's Mate... you will fit in just fine." and he flashed him a grin. Suddenly, Nick felt like he fit. He relaxed.
"I am Brian, the man you just met is Alex." Brian paused, coming to stand next to Alex. "My Mate." Nick smirked. That surprised him.
Kevin cleared his throat. "Sundown. Time to feed." He neglected to tell the others one thing. Nick was going to find the last person they needed. And bring him in to the fold. Tonight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Howard could feel eyes watching him. He walked down the empty street, trying to keep himself steady on his feet. He took another swallow from the bottle, keeping his eyes on the road.
He still could feel the pain, the alchol not having any real affect on his aching heart. Now, to make things worse, the heavyness in the air was turning him on.
"Dammit" he muttered, tripping over his feet and landing on his ass.
"Need help?" Howard looked up into the bluest eyes he'd ever seen. He grabbed the hand, and let the young man pull him up.
"Thanks." Nick licked his lips and grinned. Howard felt a pull in his groin. Instant lust. Well why the hell not? he thought. He had nothing left to lose.
He was wrong.
Nick pressed his body against Howard's, licking down the side of his face, down to his neck. He could feel the blood pound in his ears. Howard's blood. One hand was down Howard's pants, jacking him slowly. Howard moaned, hips thrusting hard. He never felt the teeth hit his throat.
Nick fed.
And so the circle was completed, Kevin thought, getting comfortable on the big bed. The house was so protected that he never bothered with coffins. He smiled, besides, the bed was much nicer. The door opened and Kevin looked up. "is he resting?" he asked, watching Nick amble toward him, a smudge of blood still on his full lower lip. "Yes, He fed well. So did I." Kevin smiled, and Nick lay down beside him, streatching out his body. Kevin ran a hand down Nick's face and brought it towards his own. "You did well, my mate." He whispered, flicking out his tongue to lick the last of Howard's blood off of Nick's lip. Nick moaned softly. "I learn fast." Nick gasped out, his body humming with heat as Kevin started to lick his chin, then his neck, then finally to his aching nipples. "Yes, you do.. and you will be rewarded." Nick arched, as Kevin bit one, then the other nipple softly. "Please...Please.." Nick begged softly. Kevin hummed against a nipple. Electricity shot through Nick. Oh god. More than he had ever dreamed, hoped for. He whimpered. Kevin moved down, down. Nick screamed. Begged, pleaded. And was rewarded. Handsomely. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The sun got higher and higher. The house slept. Still the sun rose higher. Then started to sink into the west. Slowly the house awoke. Tonight they would celebrate. Celebrate the closure of the circle. Celebrate the beginning of their life together. A long, very long life. It would be a life filled with excess, and loss. Passion and Love. And fame. For this was the beginning. The very beginning of a group that woul be known as The Backstreet Boys...tbc...
