Oh and don't mind the dumb little poem JC says to Lance. I had to think of something, and I'm not a really romantic guy.
Shara was shocked to see the tall cowboy again, but she didn't know how to fix cars, so it was nice to see someone that might now what they're doing.
"Yeah I do need some help. I don't know very much about cars. Do you?" Shara asked kind of jumpy.
"Well, not a lot, but I will see what I can do." His thick southern accent said. He looked in to the car engine and began to fool around with stuff.
"So why are you on this road out in the middle of nowhere?" Clarence asked trying to get a conversation going.
"Well, my house is just down the way a bit. What are you doing out here?" Shara asked coarsely.
"Oh the way back to my town is down this road. It's the quickest way there."
"Oh. Do you see what's wrong?"
"Yeah, someone messed with your alternator. You know, I finally remembered where I have seen you from." Clarence said as his face changed, but out of sight of Shara.
"Oh yeah where?" Shara asked as she pulled her cloak back off of her head.
Clarence stood up and said. "Well all fixed."
"Oh thank you." Shara said.
"Oh by the way, my name isn't John." Clarence said.
"It's not?" Shara asked shocked.
"Nope, its Clarence," He turned around so she could see his face. "Clarence Witaker."
Shara's eyes shot open. He quickly jumped at her but she flipped back and pulled out her sword in mid air. Clarence ran towards her again. Quickly and gracefully she rolled to one side and swung the sword at Clarence. He quickly ducked and got her with a foot sweep, she fell to the ground and he jumped on her. When he landed on her, his head quickly went down towards her neck, but before he could bite he was thrown back by a gust of wind. He flew back about 10 feet and Landed on her car, breaking the windshield.
She jumped up into the air and started to come down on top of him when he rolled. The sword that was aimed at his heart, cut threw the hood of the car and into the engine. She tried to pull it out but it was stuck. When she went to see where Clarence was, a fist smacked her right in the head. She flew off the car and landed about 7 feet from it. She started to get up when she heard a growl, Clarence came flying over the car and landed just in front of Shara. He went to grab her leg but she kicked up and hit him in the chest. He let out and grunt and flew back about 5 feet. She jumped to her feet and got back into her fighting stance.
Clarence stood up and looked at her, then he looked at the ground to where his hat had fallen. He picked it up and brushed it off and the put it back on.
"You know, at first I was just going to kill you and make it fast and not very painful, but now I'm going to have to hurt you."
Shara looked at him and cocked an eyebrow. Fire slowly filled her hands and then it formed into a small ball.
"Then come and get me you hick fucker!" She said as she pushed the fireball out of her hand.
"Oh shit!" Clarence said as he jumped out of the way.
He quickly got back up to his feet and watched the fireball as it hit a tree and made it burst into flames. He brushed off his jeans and walked towards her. He stood there in front of her and got in his fighting stance. He quickly did a roundhouse and hit Shara on the side of the face. She flew back and went into a flip, as she did, a blue light went over her body and she vanished. He quickly took a step forward in shock. Then something kicked him from behind. He fell to the ground with such great force that he slid about three feet. He jumped back up and looked around for Shara. She was nowhere to be seen. Then something hit him on the side of the face and he fell to his knees.
He stood quickly and began to look around again. He closed his eyes and began to listen with his Vampire ears. He could hear the footsteps come and then there was a swooshing sound. He quickly ducked and then threw an upper cut towards where the sound came from. His fist made contact and Shara flew back. She landed on her back and was about to get up when a pair of hands grabbed her.
"You dumb little BITCH!" Clarence said with anger.
He threw her as hard as he could and she flew into the tree that had caught on fire. The fire had gone out, and the branches were burned to points. Clarence saw her hit the tree, and expected her to fall, but she didn't. As he looked closer he could see that she was impaled on one of the branches barely alive, holding it with her hands. A small smile appeared on his face as he walked over to her.
"It was a pleasure knowing you." He said.
Blood slowly running from her mouth she managed to say,
"Go to hell."
"You first." Clarence said.
He put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her farther on to the branch. She let out a cry of pain and her body went limp. Clearance's face went back to human form and he walked back to the blue dodge ram that he had stolen. He started it up, then walked over to Shara's car, put it in neutral and pushed it off the side of the hill.
"Where is she? She should have been here by now!" Joey said as he looked out the window.
"Look she said she went to get some food, it just probably took longer then she thought. It's not that big a deal Joe." Justin said as he put down the controller to the TV.
"Well, I can still worry can't I? I mean, what if someone hurt her? What if she is off in a ditch somewhere?"
"Joey chill! Shara is a big girl she can take care of herself." Justin said as he walked back into the hall, and went into the bathroom.
Joey continued to look out the window when he saw a blue dodge ram drive.
"Nice truck." Joey thought to himself as he went to set down.
Lance lay on his bed, half-asleep when he saw something on his balcony. The figure of a man stood there, and in his hand was a small box raped up with a bow.
"I give you this gift, because you are treasured. The value of which can never be measured. Inside is my heart, for you to keep. No need to unwrap it or untie the bow, the jewel within is found in your soul. If you weren't in my life I couldn't feel whole. I just want to let you see, that I love you more then you know." JC said with pure love in his voice.
Lance gave a small smile and walked over to the window. JC was wearing, a white button down shirt, black slacks, and black, leather shoes. His hair was done up nice and the moonlight hit his face to give it a pleasant glow.
"Do you forgive me?" JC asked with a small plea in his voice.
"Of course I do silly ass!" Lance said as wrapped his arms around JC.
JC wrapped his arms around Lance and they held each other on the balcony for what seemed like forever. JC had dropped the empty box and hugged Lance tightly. Then something broke the embrace.
"Lance?" Chris's voice came through the door.
"Yeah?" Lance answered back.
"Have you seen JC he isn't in his room, and I was wondering if you had seen him."
"Yeah, he is right here."
"Are you all decent?"
"Yes."
"Good cause I didn't want to have to wait for y'all to get dressed." Chris said as he barged into the room.
"Y'all?" JC asked with a smile. Lance looked back at him and laughed.
"Did I say that?"
"Yeah." Lance said with a smile.
"Must be hearing all these other people talk."
"So what's up?" JC asked as he stood next to Lance.
"Well Shara isn't home yet, and I felt something about ten minutes ago, I tried to pass it off, but it was more than I could just ignore, and it's getting stronger."
"You think Shara's hurt?" Lance asked with concern.
"I don't know, but I was going to go look for her, and I wanted JC to come along."
"Yeah, let me change I will be down in a minute."
Chris walked out of Lance's room and shut the door.
"Hey, Be careful." Lance said as he put a hand on JC's shoulder, as he was about to climb back to his room.
"Aren't I always?" JC said with a smile.
"NO!"
"HA!"
JC climbed off the balcony and went into his room to change. He put on a pair of jogging pants, a black wife beater shirt and walked out the door. He began to walk down the steps when he heard someone cry his name. He quickly ran down the stairs and into Chris who was running up them.
"What was that?"
"Don't know."
They both looked around and then the cry came out again. They quickly ran into the kitchen and saw that Joey had Justin on the table and was tickling him. Chris and JC let out a sigh and walked back into the living room. They looked around and found a set of keys.
"Do you think there is another car?" Chris asked.
"Well, there's a set of keys isn't there?" JC said with a smile.
"Smart ass." Chris said under his breath and started to walk for the garage
"You know it!" JC said with a laugh as he followed him.
And sure enough there was a black Ford Mustang setting right in front of them.
"I'm driving!" Chris said, then teleported into the driver seat.
"Man, why do you always get to drive?" JC asked as he pouted and set down in the car.
"Because.... Just because."
Chris started up the car, opened up the door to the garage, pulled the car into the street and sped off in the way that Shara went.
About five minutes into the drive they saw some smoke coming from the hill up ahead. Chris pulled the car over and they both got out. They ran to the side and saw Shara's purple cavalier on fire at the bottom of the hill. JC kept looking at the car, and Chris started to look around. He looked behind him and his eyes got wide.
"JC." He said scared.
"What!" JC said as he turned around.
Chris pointed to the tree behind them and JC looked. Shara hung there, body limp, and blood coming out of her mouth. JC slowly began to walk to the tree and looked at what happened. He lightly grabbed her and pulled her of the branch.
"We have to put her in the car, make it look like an accident." JC said as a tear rolled down his eye.
Chris gave a slight nod and JC handed him her body, he teleported down to the burning car, and placed her to the side of it, then teleported back up.
Without saying a word they went back to the house and told the guys what they saw. Each let tears fall from their eyes, and then rage filled them. Each of them went up to their rooms and tried their best to go to sleep, but it didn't happen. Now, one of the families had been totally lost. Now it was up to them to go find the new group, and make sure they survived. Yet, they now had something more to accomplish. They had to kill whoever killed Shara, and that was the first thing on their list.
JC knew that he could do it. Their powers were stronger than Shara's group. But he was worried if he had to fight. Shara had every power of her group, and she lost. Not knowing how the fight went, he couldn't be sure, if there was a fight, or if there wasn't. And somewhere deep down inside of him, he knew that this Clarence Witaker was responsible. The killing and leaving the body like that was from what he read was his style. Now, the only thing they had to do was figure out more about him. And why he was so strong for being a Vampire, and so young.
Vampires normally get a lot of strength with age. The older the Vampire the stronger they are, but Clarence was only 200 years old. The other Vampires JC fought were in their 600's. He wasn't sure if it was possible, or not. And if it was, how many more Vampires were there like him. This began to scare JC. It was like he thought that he would only have to attack Vampires that weren't that strong. Yet here he was, about to go up against one Vampire that had taken out a group by himself, and also destroyed the sprit in the book. It was a little more out of his league than he thought and it would be more than he or anyone of the guys could handle. Together, the two groups were almost invincible, but now he was the only group he knew of that was able to fight. And he didn't know how to contact any of the others. Help would be nice at this time. He could forge another group, one that would be able to take on the vamps. He couldn't understand how he was to do it.
JC heard a taping on the door to his balcony. He rolled out of bed wide-awake and walked over and moved the curtains. His eyes widened, he then moved the curtains back and opened the door and stepped out onto the balcony.
"Sorry about Shara. I know the rules you slayers have, so I got rid of her body, and some of my friends are getting rid of the car. Now, no one will ever know she was missing, or lived," Nick said with sorrow in his voice.
"What do you want Nick?" JC said lowly.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry, and that I will help you. This Witaker guy, is someone you don't want to fuck with alone."
"We don't need the help Nick." JC said as he began to turn away.
"No please! I need your help, and you need mine. That James guy is good at finding stuff, but he doesn't know about the Vampires like I do. Hell I lived with them before I was one. Just let me help you take this one out. Then we will call it even."
JC thought for a moment about what Nick was saying. He knew that James could find the stuff, that they needed, but Nick did know more about the Vampires.
"What do you want?" JC said, agreeing as long as the terms were all right.
"I need a place to stay. I need a shower, and....I lied."
"What do you mean you lied?" JC said angrily.
"Vampire's can live off of animals, but if they don't have human blood there bodies start to wither away. For the past 4 months I haven't hurt anyone. Taken their blood. And Carmin helped me with that. Now that she is gone, I don't have a donor."
"So what your telling me is that you want human blood?" "I don't want, I need. If you will trust me, I will show you something, that you can't reveal to anyone."
JC got a little defensive.
"It's the only way I can explain it. Please?"
JC lightly nodded and walked down into his room leaving the door open.
"If I let you in, your not going to try to kill us, cause you know what will happen." JC said with his back turned to Nick.
"JC even if I wanted to I can't kill you, or Justin, Lance, Chris, or Joey. And I need you to help me."
JC stood for a second and then looked back at Nick.
"Come in."
Nick slowly came into the house being sure not to step too far into where he would make JC feel threatened.
"Here!" JC said as he threw Nick a towel and some cloths, "You smell like shit. The shower is right here." JC said as he turned on the light to the bathroom.
"JC you don't have to do this."
"Look Nick! I'm a nice guy, even to my enemies, and sometimes, your enemies can be your allies, and allies sometimes need help. So I'm helping you. And I don't want this to get to your head. But I'm scared of you, and I can only trust you so far. So don't go getting crazy on me. If the guys knew I let you in the house, and let you take a shower they would kill me. Just make it quick, and if I think you need my help bad enough I will talk to the guys. Ok?"
Nick only nodded and put his head down and walked into the bathroom. JC heard the shower stall shut and then the water turn on. A couple of minutes later the pale face of Nick came out of the bathroom.
"So where is it your taking me?" JC asked as he tied his shoes.
"The `Safe house' as we call it." Nick said as he frowned.
"What?" JC asked with a frown of his own.
"I want to thank you for doing this. I just knew that no matter how much I hate you for what you did to me, and how much you hate me, that somewhere we could trust each other."
"I never hated you Nick. I just hated what you were, and what you've become. And I was wrong to use you for bait, but you would have done the same in my position."
"Don't patronize me JC. I know how you feel about me." Nick said as he started to walk for the balcony.
"If I didn't like you Nick you would be dead, I wouldn't have let you borrow my clothes that don't really fit, and I wouldn't have let you into the house." JC said as he got off the bed and followed Nick to the Balcony.
Nick just rolled his eyes and jumped down onto the ground for the balcony. Nick looked back up to see if JC was going to follow. And JC did, and landed quieter and more graceful than Nick did.
Nick started to walk over to a black and blue Ninja motorcycle. He got on it and put on his helmet. JC stood there looking at him not sure what to do. Nick looked through the black shield of the helmet and patted the back of the seat. Signaling JC to climb on. JC hesitated then walked over, slipped on the helmet that Nick had given him, then got on the motorcycle behind Nick. He looked for something to hold onto, but couldn't find anything. Nick took JC hands, placed them on his hips and said,
"Hold on."
JC felt uncomfortable, but knew that Nick was the only thing he could hold onto. Nick started up the bike and took of down the road. JC could feel the crisp Colorado air running over his body. He could feel warmth coming off Nick's body, keeping his hands warm. The hum of the bike's engine was shooting threw JC's body. He felt a smile come across his face. He grabbed onto Nick tighter and began to enjoy the ride. He would look over Nick's shoulder to see how fast they were going, and it was only 85mph, but felt like they were going hundreds of miles per hour.
"So where are we going again?" JC yelled threw the helmet and the sound of the wind.
"The Safe house, we're almost there. Just set back and enjoy the ride." Nick said as he turned his head so that JC could hear him.
That's just what JC did, he sat back and enjoyed the ride. And just as Nick said they were almost there. The ride was about 20 minutes; it felt like only 5 to JC. The bike pulled into a parking lot of an old warehouse. Nick killed the lights and then turned off the bike. It leaned over to one side and the bike caught on its kickstand. JC got off first, took of his helmet and sat it on the back of the bike. Then Nick got off, and put his helmet on the handlebars.
"Welcome to my home JC."
JC gave Nick an acquired stare; Nick began to walk for the huge steel doors. JC was right behind him the whole way. The door was rusty, from metal and thick. JC could see all the windows had been broken out and light would pour into the place when morning came. Nick knocked on the door and it let out an eerie banging sound. The metal door slowly crept open and the side of a man's face appeared.
"Password?" He said flatly
"Excelsior." Nick said calmly.
The door opened all the way up and the man stepped to the side and let Nick and JC in. The man looked at JC and JC looked at the man. The man's face was in Vampire state, but his eyes were blood shot, and his hair a dull blond color that had clumps of hair missing. His fingernails were black and he had red blotches on his face. Looked like he got caught in the sun, so JC simply dismissed it.
"Come on it's down this way." Nick said as he pulled out a key and looked at it.
They both started down the old dirty staircase. When they got to the bottom Nick took a left down a small hallway to a door. Just before he was about to turn the key to open the door.
"Wait." JC said calmly.
"What?" Nick said as he turned around.
"Give me the keys." JC said as he held out his hand.
"No!"
JC quickly took the keys out of Nick's hand and started back up the stairs.
"You said you would help!" Nick said as he chased him.
"That's right I did, and I changed my mind. You know Nick, if you really want to kill one of us you're going to have to do better than this." JC said as he looked for the keys to the bike outside.
Nick's face turned into Vampire state, he grabbed JC and threw him up against the wall. JC hit the wall, and looked at Nick, ready for him to strike again.
"You said you would help!" Nick said as he took a deep breath and his face changed back to normal.
"There's nothing for me to do, but kick your ass. And I don't feel like doing that!"
"No, there is more! Damn it just trust me!"
JC thought for a second, then said,
"Fine, ten minutes, and if there is a whole bunch of your fuckers back there I'm going to kick your ass first!"
JC gave Nick the keys back and went through the door. When JC walked in, he was shocked. On the damp, dirty floors, lying on tarps were hundreds of people. Most of them were little kids, but there were some adults. The room was large, and the only thing holding it up were the metal pillars. All the windows were boarded off; the only light was coming from lamps. Everyone looked up at JC, and began to stand.
"They're only kids." JC said as he looked at Nick
Nick nodded.
"Most of them. They were all turned before they weren't ready, they couldn't take care of themselves, they met up with a group of Vampires and they took them under their wing. Feel free to look around none of them will harm you." Nick said, then walked over to a group of male Vampires and began to play a game of Chess.
JC began to walk around looking at the faces of the kids. He was being watched by both, the adult and kid Vampires. JC saw a young Vampire boy lying on one of the tarps coughing. He slowly walked over and knelt down beside him. He was about seven years old, had big brown eyes, and a small gap between his teeth. He had a pale face, and sweat pouring off of him.
"Hi." JC said with a smile as he sat down on the tarp.
"Hi." The little boy responded.
"My name is JC and you are?"
"Markus." He said again with a soft weakened voice.
"You don't look like you feel too good." JC said as he cocked his head to the side.
Markus let out a small smile.
"Do you mind if I see what's wrong with you?"
Markus shook his head and JC smiled. He placed his hand on the boy's forehead and then on the side of his face. He saw that the boy was wheezing and having trouble breathing, and his feet were cut open very badly.
"Hey Markus, I'm going to go find Nick. You know who he is right?"
"Yeah." Markus said softly.
"Well, I'm going to go find him. You stay here, and don't get up a run away. K?"
Markus smiled brightly and JC got up for the tarp and walked back towards Nick.
"Nick?" JC said as he stood over by one of the pillars.
"Yeah?" Nice responded from the chess game.
"Come here please."
Nick got up and walked over to the pillar.
"What's up?" Nick asked.
"Can you get me a rag, a cold bowl of water, some clean bandages, and then I need a cell phone. Also, I'm going to need some hydrogen-peroxide and children's Tylenol." JC said.
"Why do you need all that?" Nick asked curiously
"Can you just get them?"
"Yeah, but I'm going to need some money."
JC sighed and looked at him.
"I want change back."
"You're going to help?"
"Yes I'm going to help."
"YES!" Nick said and threw his arms around JC giving him a hug, then started to walk out the door.
"OH and Nick, I need a thermometer too."
"You got it."
JC smiled and then walked back over to where Markus was.
"So do you have any friends around here?" JC asked as he sat down next to him.
"Yeah, there is Crystal, and Chris, and Heather." He replied.
"And where are they right now?"
"They're over there, watching TV."
"Why aren't you over there?"
"Cause, I can't walk." And Markus pointed to his feet.
"Well then, you're going to go watch TV. You don't bite do you?" JC asked with goofy face.
"Nooo." He laughed.
"Well then grab on cause were going to the movies!" JC bent over, picked him up and then put him on top of his shoulders.
"So where's this TV at?"
"That way." Markus said and pointed.
"Oh this way?" JC said and stated to walk the wrong way.
"No, that way!" Markus said again.
"OH, well why didn't you tell me?" JC said again acting dumb
"I did!" He said in a high pitch voice.
"Oh you did?"
"Yeah!"
"Oh.... Well ga!"
Markus laughed and began to cover JC's eyes.
"AHHH! I'm blind!"
"No your not I'm covering your eyes."
"Why?"
"Because."
"Why?"
"Because."
"Are we almost at the TV yet?"
"Yeah!"
"Well where... ooof." JC said as he slammed in to the back of the old couch.
"Right there. HE HE HE."
JC took Markus off his shoulders and sat him next to the little girl.
"So what are you guys watching?" JC asked as he folded his arms around the arm of the couch.
"I love Lucy." A little girl answered.
Her blond hair, ratted and dirt covered her face. She was almost as pale as Markus and looked to be sweating too.
"Well don't have too much fun. I will be back in a second Markus."
Markus didn't hear a word JC said because he was watching the old black and white TV. JC began to look around again. Looking over the building, where he could see rats run across the floor and water from sewer pipes leaking.
"Hey JC I got the stuff you asked for." Nick said as he came running up to him.
"Thanks." JC said as he put the bowl with the cold water on the ground, "Hey Markus, I need you to put this under your tongue." JC said as he held up the thermometer to Markus's mouth.
Markus opened up and JC put it in his mouth. Then he took Nick by the arm and pulled him over to one of the pillars.
"I don't know much about how your bodies work. So, does your blood still flow threw your body, and your body has the white blood cell's right?" JC asked like a doctor figure.
"Yeah, every thing still works the same, we can even eat normal food and get colds, they just don't affect us like they affect you. Why?"
"Cause that little boy has a fever, and the Tylenol will bring it down, and the wounds haven't healed so my guess is he hasn't been getting enough to eat. So, I'm going to bring down his temperature, and then I'm going to find something, for the kids to get better. You adults are on your own."
"Thank you JC."
"Yeah you're welcome." JC turned around and pulled and checked Markus's temperature.
"Well, dear old boy, your have a fever." JC said as he pulled out the rag and squeezed some of the water out. Then lightly began to dab it on Markus's head.
"So now what are you watching?"
"Some scary Movie." The little girl said again.
JC watched as he dabbed the rag on Markus's head. It was one of the "Nightmare on Elm Street" ones. JC didn't think much of it, considering that these kids were Vampires and things probably didn't scare them that bad. Then out of nowhere a pair of small little hands wrapped around JC's neck, as Freddie jumped out of nowhere on the movie. JC let out a small laugh and pulled Markus off of him.
"You sure you should be watching this?"
Markus nodded `Yes' and then turned his attention back to the TV.
"JC what the hell do you think your doing there!" Justin said with anger. "Helping them! Why the hell are you helping them?! ---- Calm down?! You want me to calm down. Its 12:00 A.M. and your in a Vampire layer helping them? ---- No you can't! What if one of them tries to eat us? ---- I don't care if he is a little boy that can't walk! He is a blood- sucking thing from beyond the grave. JC no. Don't...JC? JC! ---- GUY'S!!!!!" Justin yelled out.
Each one filed into the room one by one.
"What is it Justin?" Lance said tired and almost cranky.
"We're going to have a guest for a couple of days." Justin said angrily.
"Where's JC?" Chris asked as he rubbed his eyes.
"Some Vampire layer." Justin said as he pulled his shirt on over his chest and stomach.
"WHAT!" The three of them said at the same time.
"Yep, and he is bringing one of them here."
"WHAT!" Again was the response.
"He should be here within ten minutes."
All the guys looked at each other and began to wonder what was running through JC mind. Lance began to think to himself.
"What if this is some kind of trap for us? JC is a good guy though. He probably is doing this out of the kindness of his heart. God he is insane!"
About 8 minutes later a knock came on the door. Joey quickly ran to it and opened it. There stood JC with a small boy in his arm's, and Nick right behind him. JC turned to the side and stepped in, making Joey have step to the side of the door. JC went and laid Markus down on the couch and put the pillows behind his head to make him more comfortable.
"Come in Nick." JC said, Nick pushed the door open and walked in.
"JC what the fuck do you think you're doing?" Justin said as he stepped over to JC.
"I'm helping him." JC said as he moved his head to Nick.
"Why?" Justin said as he got up and moved.
Lance, Chris, and Joey, pretty much surrounded Nick so that he couldn't go anywhere.
"Look, this kid can't live for himself, he is too young, and we're going to help him." JC said with slight anger.
"Oh no we're not! You're going to get that little demon out of here before I take him out myself!" Justin said with authority.
JC quickly stood up and got in Justin face.
"You think you could get passed me to get to him?"
"If I had to!"
"Well come on, Justin, you think your all big and bad let's see what your made of!" JC said as he held out his arms as for Justin to throw the first punch.
Justin threw a punch at JC and JC blocked it with no trouble.
"BOTH OF YOU STOP!" Joey yelled as he got in-between them, "What the Fuck do you to think your doing?!"
JC didn't responded and knelt back down to Markus on the couch. He was looking at JC with confused and sad eyes. JC gave a small smile and winked at him.
"Dude, there are two, count'em, Two fuckin Vampires in the house!" Justin said.
Joey looked at him blankly and Justin stomped up the stairs and slammed the door to his room. Chris soon followed Justin's lead. Soon, all but JC, Nick, and Markus were in the room.
"They don't like me do they?" Markus asked with tears in his eyes.
"Don't worry about them. They're not going to hurt you."
"Look, um JC, I'm going to go, I didn't think I would cause this much trouble. Thanks for taking care of Markus. I will come back to get him later on, so he doesn't cause a problem." Nick said as he walked out the door.
JC didn't respond but looked at Markus and said,
"Do you want to watch some TV?"
Markus nodded and watched as JC turned on the TV. JC turned it on to the Cartoon Network and said,
"I'll be right back, don't hesitate to call for anything." JC said as he ran up the stairs. He heard a soft. "OK." from Markus, and went to go knock on Lance's door.
"Lance can I come in?"
"Nothing is stopping you." Lance said from the other side.
JC shook his head and started to walk back down the stairs. JC went and sat on the chair downstairs and started to watch the TV with Markus.
"Did I make you and your friends not be friends anymore?" Markus asked, with that look little kids get when they're sorry.
"No, they just don't understand right now, but they will." JC said.
"Are you a slayer? Cause that's what everyone says at home, but I didn't believe em."
"Why didn't you believe them?"
"Cause you didn't come and kill me. Your too nice to be a slayer."
Lance stood at the top of the staircase and listened to the conversation JC was having with the little boy.
"I'm a slayer Mark. But I won't ever hurt you, not in my life." JC said as he smiled.
About an hour later JC had picked up the sleeping Markus, placed him in the bed, covered the windows with some extra blankets, and went and slept on the couch.
Lance set in his room thinking about what was going on in JC's head. He heard him open the door to his bedroom then heard him walk down the stairs. Lance started to think about what JC had done, and was worried about Nick just coming into the house. So Lance quietly got up and walked down the stairs. JC was dead asleep, and had a smile across his face. Lance sat in the chair across from him and looked at him for hours, trying to figure out what he was thinking. Then about 3 A.M. a high pitch scream came from upstairs.
JC sat up with a jolt and looked around, then there was another high pitch scream. JC quickly got off the couch and ran up to his bedroom, were he could hear the screaming coming from inside. The door was locked and he couldn't get the door opened so he kicked it in. He charged into the room followed by Lance and Justin. All three were in a fighting stance. Through the dark JC could see a small figure in the corner with yellow eyes. As JC took a step closer and the figure let out a hiss.
"Markus? It's me JC." JC said as he looked back at Lance.
He turned on the light and the figure reared back, then looked at JC. Markus's face turned from the small Vampire State to the normal looking face. He quickly ran over to JC and hugged him.
"What happened?" JC asked.
And right when Markus was about to answer Chris and Joey came in.
"What's going on?" Chris asked as he looked at the floor with JC and Markus in his arms.
"What happened Markus?" JC asked again as he brushed the ratty hair from his face.
"A mean man came into my room." Markus said with fear.
Justin and Joey quickly ran over to the window to see if they could see anything.
"Was it Nick?" Lance asked as he knelt beside JC.
"No. He was taller than Nick and he had long hair. And very bad breath."
"Could you see him?" JC asked.
"No, all I know is he doesn't like me."
JC looked at Lance.
"Come on bud, me and these guys have to go talk in the living room, do you want to go downstairs with us, or you could, go in the kitchen and see if you could find something to eat."
"K"
JC picked Markus up and carried him down. When JC picked him up, for the first time the guys noticed the bandages on his feet. They all walked down to the kitchen and sat Markus at the table then went into the Living room.
"Ok, so who could just walk into the house like that. Besides Nick?" Justin asked as he glared at JC.
"Could it have been a Vampire? I mean, he could have just been a normal man." Chris said as he looked back into the kitchen.
"How would a normal man get out of a two story high window?" Joey said.
"Maybe he wasn't normal." A little voice said from the kitchen.
"What do you mean Mark?" Lance said as he leaned back and looked into the kitchen.
"Well, look at you guy's. You can do really cool stuff too, and your normal." Markus said while he was coloring a thing on the back of a cereal box.
Justin rolled his eyes, and folded his arms across his chest.
"What does IT mean?" Justin said referring to Markus.
"What do you mean Markus?" JC asked.
"Well I remember one of the old people talking about the `Galemore'."
"What's the `Galemore'?" Chris asked.
"I dunno. But I heard Grandpa Benny say that all the Vampires Gods are looking for it."
JC sat back and looked at the door to the kitchen, where he could see the small boy still coloring on the box. He was sweating still, but was more active.
"Mark?" JC said
"Whaaat?" Markus said with a smile.
"Can Vampire Gods come into peoples houses without being let in?"
"Yep!" Markus said without any care, he was too young to understand what was going on.
All the guys looked at each other. Fear came across their faces. Justin held out his hand for the book, and it came flying down the stairs to his hand. Lance ran over and grabbed his sword from the closet and the rest made sure everything in the house was locked. It all took about ten minutes, and all was secure.
"Markus, I need you to go hide for me please. We need to check stuff and we're going to use stuff that can hurt your eyes K?" Lance asked as he picked up Markus.
"Like hide and go Seek?" Markus asked with a huge smile.
"Yeah something like that!" Lance said as he smiled back.
"But I can't play?"
"Why?" Lance asked surprised.
"Cause I can't run that fast, cause it hurt's my feet." Markus said with a frown.
"Well then I'll hide you, and then I will have the guys come find you. Sound good?"
"I guess. Do you hate JC cause of me?" Markus said as he looked up at Lance with a sad look.
"No! Why would I hate him because of you."
"Cause I'm `A little Demon." Markus said copying Justin word for word.
"No, JC is good at knowing people, and if he likes you enough then I guess I'm going to like you too."
"But you ran out on JC when he brought me here."
Lance was about to respond when he heard a loud Crash.
"Markus stay right here don't move!" Lance said as he put Markus on the couch and ran up the stairs.
He could feel a breeze coming from Justin's room, and he could hear slight huffs coming from inside the bedroom. He quickly ran in and saw Justin holding up a cross and glass surrounding him.
"Justin?" Lance said as he ran to his side, "Justin!" Justin quickly came out of his trance and turned to Lance with fear in his eyes, "What happened?"
Justin once again didn't answer. Lance helped Justin up and the rest of the guys came charging into the room.
"What happened?" Joey asked as he looked around.
"I don't know let me get him to the living room." Lance said as he walked out to the hallway.
He laid Justin on the couch next to Markus. Justin had small beads of sweat coming from his forehead, and looked dazed. Markus cocked his head and looked around at the guys.
"Ok Justin what happened?"
JC said as he turned Justin face so he would look at him.
"A man... Crashed threw the window, I barley had time to react, he was just there, then he was gone. And... And he moved faster then anything I have ever seen..." Justin said as he started to drift off.
Markus cocked his head to the side and then rolled over the couch and limped into the kitchen. JC was to busy with Justin to know that Markus had left. The one person who did notice was Chris, and he followed him into the kitchen. There he saw, Markus with a rag standing on his tiptoes holding it under the faucet. Chris stood there for a second trying to figure out what he was doing. When the rag was soaking he turned off the water and rang it out a little. Then turned around. Chris quickly turned invisible so that Markus wouldn't see him. Markus walked by him and back into the living room. And went and stood next to JC and handed him the rag.
"What's that for?" JC asked.
"You need to break his fever, cause he doesn't feel good." Markus said.
JC smiled and then looked over at Justin who was now starting to come down, and there was a small smile on his face.
Then and there, JC knew that Markus was going to be ok with them, and the guys would like him. But now, where would they find the blood he needed to survive?
"Well I recommend we take shifts and then, try to find some place else to go, where it will be harder to find us." Joey said as he stood and looked out the window.
"Ok I will take first watch, everyone else try to get some sleep." JC said as he covered up Markus, and took a pillow off the couch for him.
Soon everyone was asleep and JC looked around. He had to go to the bathroom and began to walk up the stairs. Oh his way up he heard someone on the roof walking very, very quietly. Then it stopped. He went into the bathroom and did his thing then started back down the stairs where he heard a loud cry. He quickly ran down the stairs to see a man holding Joey up by the neck and was still holding off the other guys. JC quickly reacted and jumped from the stairs and hit the man right in the chest. He let go of Joey and flew out the bay window in the front of the house.
Joey rubbed his neck, and the other guys were hurt in some way or another. Markus was in the corner behind the couch with his Vampire face on clutching the blanket in his hand. JC made sure everyone was all right then heard something from the outside. When he turned around he saw the man stand up again, with a large piece of glass sticking out from his arm. He pulled it out without any sign of pain, and brushed off his jacket then looked back into the house at the five guys.
"Your ruined my Jacket." He said as he eyes glowed fire red.
