*Jake*

Dan had been with us, at home, a total of only six weeks today, but I swear I've known him forever. I know that sounds completely cliche. But I think Danny noticed something about us when we met him. I mean I just felt COMPELLED to talk to him further. And he told me a few weeks ago he NEVER told anyone the story of his kidnap. but there was something about us that made him want to tell. I think it was our destinys giving us a kick in the ass so we could be reunited. Whatever it was. I'm happy it happened. The phone rang at about 8:30 PM, and I went to get it but Dan bounded around the corner, stuffing his short, chubby self infront of me and reaching for the phone. And trust me when Danny wanted to move you, he moved you. He was getting to be quite the pudge.

Courtosy of Joel overfeeding the poor guy. Aparantly Joel thinks that people in the carribean dont eat.

"'ello?" He asked flatly. He had attrocious telephone manners. One reason i tried to get to the phone before him. His telephone manners soon became last on my mind when I saw the worried look on his face.

"H...How did you... Where are you!? Where the fuck are you?" He whipped himself around and darted his eyes to every window. "You can't. You don't even know w... Hello???" He paused for a second before slamming the phone down and grabbing my hand, yanking me out of the kitchen and running upstairs.

He pushed me into Benji and Joels room, where Benji, Joel, and Tom were engrossed in a movie. He slammed the door and locked it.

"Dan what the fuck??? Who was that on the phone!?"

"M..My kidnappers. T..They said they're here and not to bother calling the police. because it wont matter... They want me back." he stuttered pathetically. "Well fuck that, I'm calling." Benji's protecitve side came out as he grabbed for the phone, pressing it to his ear and dialing 9-1 but stopping before the last one.

"GO GO GO!" Tom prodded him from behind. "I CANT! The phones dead." Benji muttered, slamming it down. "We have to get out of here." I told them all, But dan grabbed me. "ARE YOU NUTS!? They're outside of this house right now! WE CANT GO OUT THERE!"

Just as Dan screamed that someone smashed the door open, hitting me in the back and sending me flying across the room before I hit my jaw on the table. I must have flown 12 feet. At the time I was too dazed from the blow to even realize how hard i'd been hit.

"JAKE!" Tommy screeched, running to my side, "Are you okay?"

"Guh... yeah," I mumbled, rubbing my sore jaw. I had a feeling it'd be a bit sore for a while.

"YOU!" the guy with long, greasy brown hair said, pointing at Danny, "You're coming with us."

I squinted hard at his teeth, noticing for the first time how sharp his canines were. "No he's not!" Joel exclaimed, jumping in front of Danny, Benji following, causing Danny to be knocked to the floor. I scrambled for him, ignoring the pain in my jaw and pulling him back with Tommy and myself.

"Y'know, you're right," the girl said, grabbing Benji around the waist and lifting him effortlessly onto her shoulder, while Benji squirmed and struggled against her, "YOU two are coming with us."

"NO YOU FUCKERS!" Tommy screamed at them, jumping up and running to them, but the guy pushed him back, 'causing him to land against us.

"If you want them back, then you come with us," The guy said to Danny, "Or else we'll change them."

"NO way!" Danny exclaimed, "Leave them alone!"

"Then come with us," the girl smirked, baring her fangs.

Danny shook his head and backed up against us. "Fine," the guy said, "You have an hour. If you don't come to us, then we change them and come for you."

I watched in fear as they left with Benji and Joel cursing and struggling against them.

"Don't worry about them," the guy smirked, "They've been changed. They'll start to heal in a bit. But for now, since you won't come willingly, we're gonna have to force you to come."

I was caught off guard as the guy picked me and Tommy up, throwing us over his shoulders as the girl picked up Danny.

"Three for the price of one," the girl laughed, following the guy outside, when they basically threw us into a large van. With no way out.

*Benji*

"Ugh, fuck," I mumbled, waking up to find out I was tied at the wrists and ankles, and lying on the floor.

Joel was in the same prediciment as me. Then I remember those people... those VAMPIRES. They'd changed me and Joel, and had taken off with the kids.

I broke free from the ropes they'd used and shook Joel awake. "Joel," I whispered, getting freaked out by my new fangs, "Wake up."

"Guh," Joel mumbled as I undid the ropes from around his ankles and wrists, "Where's the kids...?"

"They took them," I told him, tears in my eyes, "We HAVE to get them back."

Joel ran his tongue over his sharpened teeth, ignoring what id just said.

"We...We're vampires..." he muttered.

"Yes. But Joel... We need to get the kids back. Regardless of..."

"But... What.. I mean... Aren't we evil now? Won't we bite them?" Joel asked.

"I dont feel evil. I don't want to bite them."

"Me either...." Joel shook his head, "But I'm afraid I might do it anyway. I.. We're different than we used to be." Joel started to cry.

"Joel you KNOW the boys would be safer with us. You. I KNOW you're not capable of killing our sons. You'd NEVER do it. Don't worry. We NEED to save them."

"I know." Joel cried, "I'm scared we wont find them."

"Then COMEON!" I screamed, running to the door of the room. "They couldn't have gone TOO far!!!" Once Joel was over his fer of harming our kids we ran and jumped in our ugly-assed-however-practical minivan and sped off down the street... Hoping we were going in the right direction.

"Benj. If they went into DC we'll NEVER find them!" Joel sniffled.

"We have to try!"

"I KNOW!!! I'm just saying. This is so hopeless. We need to call the cops."

"Hello is this te police? Hi I'm a vampire and my three human ass baby sons have just been kidnapped by other vampires, who changed us!" Benji mocked me, driving insanely fast. I wanted to tell him not to yell at me but I knew both of us were going insane at that moment, and he was on edge, so he couldn't help it.

'Daaaad,' my head perked up as I heard Danny call me. But... it was like I'd heard him in my head. However weird that sounded.

"Joel... I heard Danny," I told him, speeding past a yellow light.

"You did too? I thought I was hearing things," Joel muttered.

'Danny?' I asked back, using my mind, 'Can you hear me?'

'Dad... they're... they got Jake in some room... you gotta help us,' Danny replied, even sounding hurt and afraid through his thoughts.

'Where are you guys?!' Joel demanded, scaring the shit outta me.

'I don't know... it's dark here. We can't see anything. There's weird machine noises..'

'The abandoned factories right on the edge of town!' I exclaimed, 'We'll be right there Danny.'

"Drive faster!" Joel yelled, "Who knows what they're doing to them!"

"I'm going as fast as the car can!" I told him, "We're almost there Joel."

When we finally reached the factory I was offically terrified. These people had kicked my sorry ass once Before. I didn't know how I could save my own children. I knew I was going to try my best. But how good was my best? I threw the door open and ran towards the building with Joel following. The door was locked, but one quick shove and it caved in. The whole, large, metal door.

"Holy shit..." Joel muttered, eyeing the damage i'd done. Suddenly I wasn't too worried about not being strong enough. I ran up the stairs, and soon realized I wasn't getting out of breath running.

Hell. I wasn't BREATHING. That's when it registered in my mind that yeah, I'm dead. But it didn't really bother me just then. The fact two of my sons were trapped in a room and the other was. God knows what was happening to him, but he was at the hands of those creeps. We ran until we got to the top floor, before I knocked the door in again.

"DAD!" I heard one of them scream before throwing his arms around me. I could tell from the extreme chubby shortness that this one was dan. Actually I realized when he had his arms around my neck his feet weren't touching the ground.

"Holy fuck Danny are you okay?" I put my hands on his sides and pushed him down. There was time for hugging and kissing later, right now I had to worry about the welfare of all three of them. Just as I pried Dan off of me Tom came flying against me.

"Dad they have Jake." He whined, "They've been in that room for like. the whole time." He told me, while Dan jumped and clung to Joel like he had to me.

It was weird.. the room was completely dark, save for the light coming in from the crushed doorway, but I could still see. Like night vision.

"Alright, Tommy, you and Danny go get in the car, hide on the floor and lock all the doors. We're gonna get Jake and get outta here," I told them.

Tommy nodded, grabbing Danny's hand and they both ran from the room. There was no need for them to be here when they could end up getting hurt.

"Joel, let's get Jake and kill those fuckers," I growled, letting my anger take over.

Joel nodded, kicking down the door and running into the room with me close on his heels. My mouth dropped open when I saw what was happening. They had Jake chained to a bed, and gagged, while the guy fucked him roughly and the girl whipped his back with some kinda leather whip thing. That was going too far.

I growled and leaped at the guy, basically throwing him off of Jake while Joel attacked the girl, wrapping the leather whip around her neck in lightning speed, baring his fangs angrily. It was then that I realized our fangs must stay out all the time.

I was caught off guard as the guy tossed me off him, jumping on me and growling in my face, before shrieking and disapearing in a poof of dust as Joel staked him quickly.

"That chick was a pitiful excuse for a vampire," Joel snorted, helping me up, "Shit! Jake!"

Jake was a mess... bleeding from the guy fucking him and he had red welts over his back from the whip. "Jake... Jake answer me," I whispered, removing the gag from his mouth as Joel broke the chains off his arms and legs effortlessly.

Jake was lying on his stomach, and when I went to turn him he finally responded.

"Nononono.." He cried, "It hurts..."

"Jake. Jake please... It's me. Benji." I told himsoftly, but he only whimpered pathetically.

"Dad. It hurts." He stayed flat on his stomach.

"Jake we need to get you out of here." I insisted, "You gotta move." He reluctantly agreed by rolling over. His entire torso had random red spots and bruises forming. I looked to Joel, shocked, and Joel looked like he was going to be sick. "J..Jake do you think you can put your clothes on."

"Mm hm." He nodded, and I handed him his shirt. he pulled it on quickly with his face contorted in pain. I only made him go as far as putting on his boxers. Just so he wouldnt have to walk to the car completely exposed. I grabbed him and hoisted him up to carry him, and he whimpered.

"I'm sorry." I mumbled, running down the stairs with him. I felt like i had a great deal more balance than I did before, hence the ability to run down the stairs while carrying Jakes 130 lb body with ease. When we got to th car I sat him in easily and immediately Danny and tom grabbed him to ask if he was okay, and he let out a yelp.

"Fuck... Don't touch me... ow..." He started to cry again. The combiation of emotional and phsycal pain must have been terrible. His brothers reeled back and looked at him with wide eyes. I moved over Jake and practically sat on Tom.

"Get in the front." I instructed, and Tom climbed over the armrest in the front and I sat beside Jake as Joel drove away.

"You're gonna be okay Jake." I soothed him.

"I know i.. everything fucking hurts." He complained.

Once we got to the house, I lifted Jake gingerly into my arms and carried him inside, to get him into bed. I laid him on his side, the only way he said it wouldn't hurt.

"Here, sit up enough to take these," Joel whispered, handing him some painkillers, "We'll get you cleaned off and you can shower when you feel up to it."

Jake nodded, wincing in pain as I ran a cool washrag over his skin softly, trying not to apply much pressure, just holding the cloth close enough to him so it actually ran over his skin.

"Jake, I'm gonna put some first aid cream over you cuts and sores. It might hurt, but it'll help it to heal faster," I told him brushing his hair off his forehead.

"Okay," he whispered, closing his eyes as I put some cream on my fingertips, before gently rubbing it over his cuts, making sure not to hurt him.

The bruises he had would just have to heal on their own, since there was nothing we could do to make them heal faster. Except maybe change him, but I was still freaked out enough about being a vampire myself.

"Get some sleep," Joel whispered, kissing him softly, "Call us if you need us. Use your mind so you don't hurt your bruises or anything. We'll hear you."

Jake nodded, closing his eyes as the painkillers too effect, making him drowsy. We left him be and went downstairs to see how Danny and Tommy were.

Tom and Danny were huddled together on the couch, crying. It broke my heart really.

"Are you okay?" I asked softly, going over and sitting beside them, on he side of Danny.

"No. That was scary. And Jake got all fucked up." Tom sniffled.

"He's gonna be okay." I hope... Joel said with his mind but i picked up on it.

"What exactally did they do to him?" Danny asked.

"I don't think you want to know exactally." Joel told him.

"The raped him and really beat him bad. But don't talk to him about it. Let him wait until he's ready." I told them.

"Don't worry about it." Tom nodded, before starting to cry more, "I don't like it when Jake gets hurt."

"I know sweetie. It's gonna be okay. You're all safe now." I assured them.

"Hey dad?" Danny asked, sniffling a little.

"Yeah?"

"What's up with your teeth? They're. sharp."

SHIT. I thought they knew... I hope they don't freak out.

"Well... when they took us, they changed us into vampires," I said softly, expecting Danny and Tommy to freak out and run.

"What...?" Tommy asked, his widening in fear as he jumped up, Danny following, "Vampires? Doesn't that mean... you KILL people?"

"Well... I guess.. but we'd never hurt you," Joel said slowly, "You know that."

"But... aren't vampires soul-les?" Tomym continued, fear in his eyes as he and Danny backed away from us.

"Tom... Danny... we'd never hurt you guys," I said softly, reaching out to them.

I was caught off guard as the both ran from the room as fast as they could.

"Fucking great," Joel sighed, running his hands over his face, "NOW what?"

"I don't know," I sighed, feeling upset that they were scared of us. Didn't we save their lives to begin with?

*Danny*

I slammed the bedroom door behind me.

"Fuckfuckfuckuckfuckuckfuckfuckfuckfuck..." I muttered.

"THAT'S NOT HELPING!" Tom screamed at me.

"FUCKFUCKFUCK!"

"What do we do now?"

"FUCK I DONT KNOW FUCK!" I yelled.

"Well FUCKINA!" Tom yelled back.

". If they wanted to kill us. Why did they save us?" I asked.

"Uh. So they could kill us?" Tom replied.

"Oh. fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck.."

"WAIT!" Tom blurted out, "We can see if Jake is dead, if they didn't kill Jake then they're not evil."

"Good point." I told him, before asking, "What if he's dead!?"

"...Why don't we check first kay?" Tom squeaked irritatedly, heading towards their bedroom. He creaked the door open to see Jake lieing there, obviously breathing, with red welts on his back, which were covered in that gooey ointment.

"Well... if they did all that... and they covered his sores for him... I suppose they're not evil," I whispered, closing the door to let Jake continue sleeping.

"Shit," Tommy muttered, "We owe them an apology."

I nodded going back downstairs with Tommy, only to see they weren't there. There was a note stuck on the TV.

'Guys, we went out to... feed. We'll be back in a few. Call for us if you need us.

Love,

Benji and Joel'

"To FEED?" Tommy gasped, "No way. That just sounds so... weird."

"Yeah..." I nodded, putting the note down, "But that proves it then. If they needed to feed, instead of biting US, they went to find OTHER people."

"Good point," Tommy nodded, "I feel so guilty now."

"You and me both," I nodded, sitting down beside him on the sofa, smiling slightly as I felt his hand on my thigh.

His hand crept slowly up my thigh and I let him continue, pretending not to notice. He fnally brushed his hand over the zipper of my baggy khaki pants, and the bulge forming under neath it. I let my eyes fal closed momentarily, smiling, but stiffling all noise. Just to get him irritated. He continued to rub me through my pants, giving me no REAL satisfaction. I think he was waiting for me to say something. Finally when my erection became so painful I was about to rip it off to relieve myself, i caved in.

"S...Shit Tom.." I moaned. "Pleaase." I grabbed his hand and pushed it down more forcefully and groaning.

"Finally. I was wondering what it would take." He grinned, unbuttoning my pants and pullng them and my boxers down, freeing my boner.

"God you're huge." Tommy moaned, running his fingers up my swollen length.

"Mmm I know." I sighed, before giggling at the the stupidity of my comment.

"Concieted." Tom chuckled, before he got on his knees infront of me, breathing warm air over the tip of my dick. Suddenly he swallowed me whole, sucking harshly on my tender skin.

"Oh fuck.. Oh shit.. Damn..." I cried out as he swirled his tongue around. Soon I felt my orgasm earing, and just as I was ready to cum, Tom pulled back. "WHAT THE HELL!?"

"Shut. Up." He muttered, standing up and taking off his pants and boxers, straddling me with his shirt still on. I had an idea at this point of what he was planning.

I groaned and rolled my head back as Tommy slid down onto my length. I'd never felt anything like this before... it was amazing.

"Shiiiit," Tommy moaned, his eyes closing, "You're so big Danny..."

I grunted and grasped his hips, thrusting up into him as he rode me. "You're so tight," I groaned, kissing his neck.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Benji and Joel come in, and stop in the doorway to watch us, but I had no intentions of stopping.

"Harder," Tommy moaned, rolling us over so I was ontop of him. I thrust down into him, angelling my hips so I hit his spot dead on.

"Fuck," Tommy groaned, stroking himself roughly, "I'm so fucking close Danny..."

"Me too," I panted, thrusting into him harder and faster. I groaned loudly as I came withtin him, all these new feelings overwhelming. Tommy moaned and came over his stomach, before I collapsed onto him, giggling as Benji and Joel clapped.

"Very nice," Benji grinned, his fangs giving him a bit of a lisp, "I enjoyed that."

"Same," Joel grinned, "How's Jake doing?"

"He's asleep, just like I'm about to be," Tommy sighed, "Danny wore me out."

"Mmphgu.." Was all I could weakly manage in response.

"I don't think you're the only one tired out." Benji smiled to Tom.

"We're gonna go check on Jake and go to sleep. You two should drag your sorry asses upstairs into a bed." Joel laughed, walking upstairs with Benji following Behind.

"C'mon Dan." Tom wiggled out from underneath me, "Lets go upstairs and crash in the guestroom."

"Noomovementbadsleepgood.." I muttered.

"Come on. Jakes been trumatized enough without coming downastairs and being greeted by YOUR naked ass." Tom grabbed my hand and litterally dragged me up the stairs. I collapsed on the bed when we got in the master bedroom, and fell asleep instantly. The next morning I woke up early because Tom was fixing his hair and he dropped the gel bottle and started screaming random obscenities. I got mad at him for making so much noise and I went downstairs. I was shocked to find Jake already sitting at the table, completely alone.

"Oh Um. Morning." I smiled slightly, but jake didn't move or say anything for a few seconds.

"hi." he finally said in a very soft voice. I moved over and sat across from him, but he didn't seem to acknowledge me.

"Hey. Are you okay man?" once again there was a long pause before he nodded.

"I'm okay." For some reason Ididn't believe him.

"Morning!" Benji grinned, fangs and all, coming into the kitchen, "How're you doing Jake?"

I looked at Jake and noticed the look of fear of his face. "You're... one too?" he whispered to Benji, though it seemed like it was more to himself.

"Hey," Joel smiled, coming into the room as well, "Is there a party and no one invited me?"

"Yep, you suck," Benji smirked at Joel, not noticing the scared look on Jake's face.

"Well thanks BENJAMIN," Joel pouted, "You're mean."

I was caught off guard as Jake suddenly jumped up and ran upstairs, wincing and making whimpers of pain the whole time, as his sores hadn't healed yet. We could hear a door slam, before silence.

"What's wrong with Jake?" Joel asked, starting to go upstairs.

"You scared him," I said, standing up, "He didn't know you guys were vampires, and you came in here all smiles and he saw your fangs and freaked. His last encounter with vampires wasn't a very good one."

"Fuck," Benji cursed, "Just great."

"I'll go talk to him," Joel said, "Maybe I can get him to understand that we won't hurt him."

*Jake*

I sat hudled on my bed, under the covers as thoughts swarmed my head. Benji and Joel were vampires... and vampires are bad. Danny isn't though.. he doesn't have fangs. But what about Tommy? What if my own TWIN is a vampire?

"Jake?" Joel called out, opening the door, even though I'd LOCKED it, "Can I talk to you?"

"Nonono," I mumbled, backing up against the wall and crying out in pain as the sores and welts on my back hit it.

"Listen Jake we need to talk." Joel said softly.

"go away." I whined feebily.

"I'm not going to hurt you." Joel told me.

"Yes youareyesyouareyesyouare..." I started to cry. He came closer to me and my heart was pounding. I mean to the point where I could barely breath. "please leave..." I begged.

"No Jake... I need you to understand I wont hurt you."

"But you're a vampire. Youre EVIL." I stressed the word evil.

"Well. I might be EVIL. But I still wouldn't hurt you." He told me, reaching out for me, but I drew back and fell right off the bed.

"Please..." I crawled backwards and Joel sighed.

"Alright. I'll go. But you need to know I'm not gonna hurt you. But we'l talk when you're ready." He turned and left.

*Joel*

I sighed and went downstairs, where Tommy was sitting in the living room, watching TV.

"How'd Jake take the news?" he asked me as I sat beside him.

"Bad," I sighed, "He's scared. I can't really blame him.... after what those assholes did to him, it's no wonder he's scared of us being vampires too."

"Yeah... give him time," Tommy nodded, "He'll come aroud and see that you won't hurt him."

I suddenly felt this intense hunger hit me. It was so sudden... and unexpected. All I could feel was hunger. The need to eat. Blood.

In a second I was on Tommy, sinking my fangs into his neck, feeling his skin break and his blood enter my mouth. I held him tightly to stop him from moving.

Then I realized what I was doing. I was KILLING my own son... I pulled back and stared at him in shock. I was in some kinda funk... but then I realized I'd have to change him or he'd die.

I quickly bit my wrist and told him to drink before it was too late. God, what had I done?

I watched as Toms body spasmed painfully as he changed.

'what have i done what have i done what have i done.'

Like all people changed against their will, he then proceeded to pass out. I moved his upper lip with my thumb and eyed his razor sharp and previously unused fang. The change was complete.

In the past 2 minutes I had almost killed my son, and then immortilized him.

I was going to be sick. I reached up and wiped my lips with my arm, finding there was blood on them.

"Joel..." I turned to see benji in the doorway, rocking back and fourth on his feet, looking even whiter than before, which is near impossible. "Joel... What did you do?"

"I didn't mean to... I don't know what came over me... I... I couldn't help it." I sputtered, tears streaming down my face.

"You killed him... You KILLED him..."

"No.. No i saved him.. I changed him before he died..." I explained frantically.

"You. Disgust me." Benji growled. GROWLED. Like the kind of growl a tiger would make.

"Benji I didn't mean i..." I was cut ff when he pounced on me, throwing me onto my back.

My words were cut off as I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. Sure, vampires can't be hurt easily, but when you get staked through the stomach, in one end and out the other, it's gonna hurt like a bitch.

I doubled over in pain, grasping my stomach. Benji had STAKED me. Even though through my stomach, he still did it.

Tears of pain streamed down my face. I'd never felt so much pain before, not even when those assholes had changed me.

I wasn't bleeding as much as a human would, but it still hurt as much as it would if I were a human.

"Benj... why," I gasped around my pain, curling into a ball.

"You deserve it," Benji spat, "You almost KILLED our son. You deserve to suffer."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I didn't try to kill him... I couldn't stop myself. It was like the vampire side of me took completely over. But didn't I SAVE him anyways?

"Dad-" Jake stopped and stared at the sight before him, "What the fuck happened?"

"He changed Tommy," Benji told him.

"What?" Jake gasped, staring at me, "You did?"

"I didn't mean it," I mumbled weakly, standing slowly, trying to fight off the pain, "Please Jake.."

"No," Jake whispered, running to Benji, "Don't touch me."

I felt a fresh batch of tears rise to the surface. My whole family was against me now... except Danny. But he'd probably be against me too. I could at least hope he's not.

I made my way slowly and painfully upstairs, needing to get away from them.

I sat in my bedroom closet, curled into a ball crying. Even as a normal human I had never felt that many emotions at once. And I was in SO MUCH PAIN. It wouln't stop. I hoped it would soon. I think for a vampre stake wounds dont heal very quick. I'd never been staked before. But it sure wasn't healing fast. There was a lone airvent in the corner that I listened to everyones conversations through.

"I don't think its safe for any of you to be alone with Joel. Without me there." Benji explained.

"What about me?" Tom asked, clearly awake now.

"I don't think it matters..."

"B..But what if he attacks us in our sleep?" Danny asked.

"It's fucking sick. I CANT stay here..." Jake said.

"You cant LEAVE." benji told him. "I'll keep Joel away from you."

Great. Now my own. BROTHER. And LOVER felt he needed to keep me away from OUR children. Because I was aparantly a threat to their lives.

I wondered for a second what would happen if i ever did that again. What if Jake or Dan was next? I silently vowed to live in the closet until i starved.

"Maybe we should talk to him.." Dan suggested. "or YOU should..."

"Fuck no, I'm not talking to that jackass. Ever again." Benji spat.

"Me either." Dan agreed.

"Yeah." Jake said, before I heard Tom silently agree. Suddenly hysterical sobs racked my body.

I needed to get out. To leave. I couldn't stay here, not when they all hate me so much. They just don't understand that I wasn't ME when I attacked Tommy... it was like something else had taken me over.

I gathered every last ounce of strength I had in me and climbed out of the closet, going downstairs, trying my damn hardest to ignore the intense pain.

"Where are you going?" Benji asked me. I looked up enough to see Jake, Tom and Danny all behind Benji, his arms out like I would try and attack them.

"I'm leaving," I sniffled, sobs threatening to spill out, "So you don't have to worry about not being SAFE around me. I'm gonna stay with someone who actually CARES about me."

I went outside and headed to Billy's house, not surprized when no one tried to stop me. Billy was the only other person who was closest to me, who'd understand. Paul would probably freak. And Chris was out of town with family.

I knocked weakly on Billy's door, almost passing out from the pain. I vaguley heard the door open before I actually DID pass out.

When I came to, Billy was sitting beside me on his bed. My shirt was off, and my stomach felt cool where the pain was. It was still really intense pain, but Billy was rubbing some kinda lotion thing over it.

"It'll help heal faster," Billy explained, noticing that I was now awake, "And before you ask, I know you're a vampire. I'm one too."

"...H...How did you know?" I asked him.

"Not many people with fangs and a gaping wound in their stomach can just walk around town. Besides. When you passed out I checked for a pulse and thought you were dead. Then i figured it out." Billy shruged nonchalontly, rubbing the last of the lotion on before putting a bandage on.

"I need a bandage?"

"No, I don't want this shit getting on my furniture." Billy told me, "Who did this to you?"

"Benji." I said softly. At that, billy finally snapped his head up in shock.

"Fuck.. Why?"

"I... I bit Tom. And I changed him. But I didn't want to. I swear. I. HAD to or somethig..." I stuttered and billy sighed.

"You need to learn to control urges like that. Trust me, until you can learn to control it you're gonna have the urge to bite everything around. So you, Benji, and Tom are vampires. And Benji staked you because you changed Tom?"

"YES! And got they hate me. They wont even speak to me." I started to cry.

"What about Danny and Jake?"

"They're with Benji and Tom." I told him.

"Yeah. Thats a great idea." Billy spat sarcastically.

"What?"

"For fucks sake. Who KNOWS what would happen. You all have been vampires for what? four hours??? New vampires like to bite things. I'm calling Benji and getting him to haul his ass over here with those kids before he does something stupid." Billy jumped up.

"You don't think him and Tom did anything do you???" I asked frantically.

"No probably not but SOMEONE has to teach you guys to be normal vampires." Billy sighed, running to get the phone.

I felt so. Young and naive.

"They're coming over," Billy told me, coming to sit back down on the bed, "Do you wanna go downstairs to see them or stay here?"

"I'm staying here," I whispered, "They hate me. They won't want anything to do with me."

"But Joel... maybe if they realize that Tommy and Benji could just as well do the same thing you did, they'll change their views," Billy said, "It's worth a try."

I sighed. "Fine," I sighed, relieved to not be in as much pain. It was now just a dull, achy feeling. But it still hurt.

I followed Billy downstairs, sitting on the sofa. The doorbell rang and seconds later Benji and the kids came in.

"What's HE doing here?!" Benji gasped and I cringed, trying to hold back my tears.

"He's my BEST friend, he has every right to be here," Billy said, emphasizing the word "best". I was touched really... Billy was taking my side. Well, that's what BEST friends do.

"Don't you think you guys are being a bit irrational?" Billy continued, "I mean, Joel's a vampire. And so are you and Tommy. What makes you think that YOU and TOMMY won't end up biting Danny and Jake?"

Before Benji could say anything, Billy said, "Exactly. You guys need to learn to control those urges. New vampires are eager to bite anything."

Once Billy explained everything to us, Benji said, "Alright, I get you now. We're going home."

"Aren't you forgetting someone?" Billy said as they went to the door, not even bothering to look at me.

"Oh yeah... Blingie come on, we're leaving!" Tommy called out. Blingie was sitting next to me, his huge paws in my lap, with his head resting in his paws, while I stroked his fur softly.

Blingie looked up, but didn't bother moving. He was still a puppy, so I'd expect him to go running over to them right away. But he only licked my face and curled into my lap as best he could. I smiled slightly. At least SOMEONE loved me still.

I got to keep Blingie. He refused to go with the lot of them. I sat on the couch and told Blingie about everything while Billy scrounged around the house for some leftover blood for me so I wouldn't go all fang-happy again.

"And your other daddies are really mad at me.. But you lvoe me don't you Blingie. Don't youuuu? Yes you do! Yesssss you do!" I baby talked my dog until he slobbered all over my face. "You disgusting.. UGH!" I spat, putting the dog on the floor.

"Whats wrong?" Billy called from the kitchen.

"NOTHING just dogspit!" I wiped my tongue on my shirt to remove the dogspit germs as billy came in with a mug of warmed blood for me. "Thanks" I smiled.

"No problem." He plopped down beside me.

"We need to pick my shit up from my house. I get the feeling imgoing to be staying here a while."

"You wanna go now?" Billy asked.

"Yeah lemme finish my blood first." I nodded, taking a big sip.

"Benji and them will come around soon." Billy assured me.

"I don't know about that."

"They WILL!" He insisted, "You just have to give them time to understand."

"What are YOU doing here?" Benji demanded as Billy and I went into the house, "And Tom's still pissed at you for taking the dog."

I was still scared around Benji. I could feel his hatred of me radiating off him. I stood close to Billy and said, "Not my fault BLINGIE knows who the better owner is."

I didn't mean to sound so... mean, but hadn't they hurt me already?

"Right, we'll now have a dead dog after Joel gets done with it," Jake commented from the kitchen. I couldn't believe it. The people who were closest to me, were now insulting me and hated me.

"Joel's just getting his stuff, so leave him the fuck alone," Billy snapped, coming to my defense and placing a hand on my back, following me upstairs.

I grabbed as much of my things as I could, tears flowing down my cheeks. I never thought my own FAMILY would hate me this much.

I walked past everyone quicky and threw my shit into the car while Billy came behind me.

"Don't fuckin cry man. It'll be okay." Billy gave me a quick hug.

"I cant help it." I choked out.

"They're not gonna stay mad at you forever. I'll bet you anything Toms gnawing on the leg of the couch so he wont bite danny." When he said that i bust out laughing at the thought of him and benji chewing wood like beavers. "Oh! OH! I'm awesome! I made you laugh!"

"Shut up." I chuckled, climbing into the car.

"Hmph." It took billy all of 30 milliseconds to get in on his side. I was almost tempted to ask how the hell he moved that fast but I didn't want to sound stupid. again.

"You really think they're gonna forgive me?" I asked him.

"Yeah. Think about it this way Joel. Assuming nobody stakes you trough the heart, you're gonna live forever. Forever is a long time to hold a grudge and never see your twin. I KNOW you know Benji well enough to know he wont last without you. It's kindof cute. You're like. His EVERYTHING man."

"He's MY everything. Other than the boys but thats different... Which is why it hurts so much. I mean. I LOVE my sons. But I could understand if Tom never spoke to me again but me and Benji. We were like. the same fucking person at one point in our lives." I explained.

"I understand. Well no I dont. I don't have a twin brother. But. still." Billy shrugged.

*Danny*

Two months. And no word to Joel or from Joel. I don't know about everyone else, but I really missed him. Just when my life was getting back into shape, this had to happen. I don't really think Joel MEANT to hurt Tommy... I believe him when he said he wasn't able to control it.

I bit my bottom lip and a thought came across my mind. Tommy, Benji and Joel were vampires. Jake and I weren't. So wouldn't Jake and I get older without them? I didn't want that to happen.

I got up and silently grabbed a diffelbag, stuffing as many clothes as I could into it, making sure not to wake anyone up.

I crept silently from the house, and started walking to Billy's place. By car it was about a ten minute ride, by foot it would take about a half hour. I could always drive, but I didn't wanna chance waking them up with the car.

About an hour later, which seemed like a year, I finally came upon Billy's house. I walked up to the door and knocked, before checking my watch. Two AM. I hope they'd hear the door.

I smiled as I heard Blingie barking and pawing at the door, before it opened and Billy stood there, rubbing his eyes.

"Danny?" he asked, "What're you doing here?"

"I came to stay with Joel.. if it's okay with you?" I looked at him hopefully.

"Sure, it's fine," Billy nodded, stepping aside and letting me in, "He's asleep upstairs. Just try not to wake him. I think he's cried all day long."

I nodded, feeling my heart break for him. I went upstairs and into the bedroom, being extra quiet. Joel was sound asleep on the bed, soft snores leaving his throat. I stripped down to my boxers quickly and crawled into the bed beside him.

I wrapped my arms around his waist. He had gotten skinny man. I didn't even know vampires could really gain or lose weight. well. Upon thinking about it I realize they could lose weight. Gaining weight would be hard since.

Well you eat like 10 huge servings of blood a day.

Or at least I do..

That night I didn't sleep. At all. I wanted Joel to wake up to get a midnight snack or something but he was like a fucking log. Litterally. See vampires dont have to breath. During the day normally you do, so you can talk and project your voice right and shit, but whe you sleep or are alone you just don't. And you don't have a pulse either. So essentially Joel is considered dead to normal humans. Completely dead while he's asleep. He didn't wake up until around 7 AM. Which I guess is early, but I'd been lying there for 5 hours waiting.

"Morning." I smiled and he sat up straight, rubbing his eyes.

"D..Danny???" He stuttered.

"Yep." I grinned and he hugged me so tight I thought he was gonna break me, but I didn't care.

"Billy told me you'd come back." He started to cry.

"I snuck out last night and came here. I didn't wanna wake you." I told him.

"I thought you hated me." Joel sniffled, pulling back.

"No. I never hated you. I was just scared." I didn't know how to go about asking to be changed.

"I'd never hurt you. on purpose..." Joel cried more, and this time I hugged him.

"I know... But... This time, I WANT you to change me."

"What? Why?" Joel asked, pulling back and looking me in the eye.

"I've been doing some thinking," I began.

"That's a first," Joel giggled. I laughed. "At least your making jokes again," I smiled, "But anyways, I was thinking. You, Benji and Tommy are vampires. Jake and I aren't. So that means you'll never get older and we will. I wanna stay young with you."

"Are you sure?" Joel asked me, "I don't wanna change you if you're not sure."

"I'm sure," I nodded. Joel nodded, scotting closer to me. He pushed my hair off my neck and kissed me softly, finding the vein before biting down.

It didn't hurt much. But didn't it go that if you were willing to be changed, it doesn't hurt? And if you're unwilling, it hurts?

I could feel myself growing woosy as Joel drank enough blood. He then pulled back and bit his wrist, telling me to drink his blood.

I did so, the taste oddly good, before this weird sensation came over me. I remember Tommy telling me it hurt really bad, but for me it was more of a tingly feeling. Like the feeling you get when your leg falls asleep.

When the tingly feeling finally ebbed I opened my eyes to see Joel staring down at me.

"Smile." He instructed and I did.

"Well. You're a vampire." He told me. "Fangs and all." He slipped his thumb in my mouth and ran it over my left fang, accidentally cutting his finger. Involuntarily I sucked trying to get every last bit of it.

"Mm." I muttered.

"Hungry?" he asked, taking his thumb away.

"Starving..." I told him.

"Wanna go out and feed or want me to heat up some pigblood? Or cow blood... Or chicken blood."

"Which tastes best?" I chuckled.

"Well. Pigblood tastes like bacon, cowblood tastes like steak, human blood tastes like. better than anything ever, and chicken blood tastes like peaches."

"Peaches?" I asked flatly.

"Do chickens eat peaches?" Joel asked thoughtfully.

"Uh. No."

"Hm. Well anyway. I say we go for human blood if your up for it." Joel told me as my stomach growled.

"Im up for it."

"Okay," Joel smiled, "But I guess it would help if we got dressed first."

I smiled and nodded, glad to see Joel happy. I guess I did the right thing in coming to stay with him. "Joel, Danny? You guys hungry?" Billy asked, knocking on the door.

"It's open," Joel called out, "And we're gonna go feed. Danny is now one of us."

"I know," Billy smiled, "I could feel the vibes from you changing him."

"Y'know, you're starting to freak me out," Joel laughed, "How long have you been a vampire?"

"Since I was born," Billy smiled, "Haven't I done an amazing job of hiding it?"

"Yeah... that explains a lot," Joel nodded, "Gonna join us?"

"Yep," Billy smiled, "I'm hungry too."

Joel and I finished dressing before we went outside with Billy. Some people think vampires can't handle the sunlight, but they're fools to think that. God... I was JUST changed and already I knew a lot. I guess that happens when half your family is now vampires as well.

When we were walking through the park I spotted some random woman Jogging. All Alone.

"Do you think she's good?" I asked Joel.

"Yeah. G'head."

"Okay." I nodded. "Uhm. What do I do?"

"Jump her and bite her neck. If you miss the vein its okay. Just bite her again." Joel shrugged and I waited for her to get close, as she was coming towards us. Once she was right infront of us I jumped on her. I could tell she was a slut. Because when we fell i landed in between her legs. Only a slut could fall like that. before she had a chance to protest I bit down, my mouth immediately filling with blood. It didn't taste coppery or weird like normal blood. But sweet and totally satisfying. I sucked her completely dry.

"So how'd you like it?" Billy asked me.

"Mmmgood good very good. yes. good." I muttered, licking the last bits of blood off of her neck.

"Ha yeah ive never met a vampire who didn't like blood." Billy grinned as Igot off the girl. We left her there lying dead with her knees bent and her legs apart because we found it somewhat amusing. Later on I figured we should have taken her clothes off and layed her in the jungle gym at the kids place. but that would be mean.

"Oh Joel. Isn't that the most freakishly beautiful thing you've ever seen?" Billy pointed to two girls. uhm. one girl? wow. Two girls with one set of legs. Conjoined twins. I always had compassion for them. Because if Tom and I had waited just a day or two to separate then we might be like them. ew. Sharing a dick. Which made me think some weird thoughts about those girls and sex. Thoughts I wouldn't have if they didn't share a lower body.

"Uhm. If you say so."Joel shrugged.

"Lets kill it!" Billy cheered.

"Eww gross," I laughed, "That's just... not right."

"Aww sure it is," Billy grinned.

"Um, you're too late," I laughed as Benji and Tommy jumped on the girls out of nowhere, using Billy's idea. Once they finished, Billy stamped his foot and pouted.

"Benji! Tommy! You stole my idea!!" he pouted, "You guys SUCK!"

"Thanks," Tommy smirked, then his eyes widened as he spotted me, "Danny! There you are!"

I was caught off guard as he hugged me tightly. "Where've you been?!"

"Dude, I was gone one night," I laughed, "I was with Joel and Billy."

"Why?" Benji demanded, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Because I believe Joel," I told him firmly, "It's been tow freaking months. I finally starting having a LIFE with an actual family and then this happens. And I'm sick of it."

"You're a vampire..." Tommy muttered, staring at me, before looking at Joel, "You changed him too?"

"Yeah," I nodded, "He asked me to change him."

"Liar," Benji growled and was on Joel in a second.

Billy grabbed Benji around the neck and kept yanking him backwards before he had a chance to do anything to Joel. I'll blame it on a momentary lapse of sanity, but at that moment I kicked Benji in the face, sending him reeling backwards.

"Get the fuck off of him!" I screamed at Benji.

"DANNY.. WHAT THE FUCK!?" Benji screeched, trying to get up but Billy pushed him down.

"He didn't FORCE me to do anything. Think about it Tom. You're gonna stay 15 FOREVER, and Jakes gonna keep aging. I didn't wanna get old without the rest of you." I explained, and Tom thought for a moment.

"I. Never thought of that."

"I didn't think you would. How are you gonna feel in thirty years when Jake's losing his hair and needs viagra and you're still a kid, huh? If anything I did YOU a favor. YOU wont be left behind!!!" I yelled. Both him and Benji stayed silent.

"Just. Keep the fuck away from Jake." Benji said to Joel, "Because If you change him, I swear to god I'll kill you."

"Benji wait just;..." Joel started, but it as futile, a he grabed Toms hand and dragged him off.

"Well. That went well." I said sarcastically as Joel kicked a garbage can.

"I fuckin give up." he muttered, walking in the opposite direction as benji and tom.

*Joel*

I couldn't take much more. I NEEDED to talk to Benji. To set things right. I miss him so much... he's my twin. We've never been apart for this long before. And I've never had him HATE me.

I took a deep breath, not that I needed to, and walked up to the front door of my old house, before knocking.

I didn't wanna just go right in, in case Benji thought I was plotting something evil against them.

The door opened and Benji stood there, glaring at me. "What the fuck do you want?" he demanded, his eyes stinging me like daggers.

"To talk," I said softly, trying my damn hardest not to upset or anger him. My original idea was to let him do and say whatever he wanted to me, and not do anything about it. Like we always used to do when our Dad would hit us or something.

"Then talk," Benji spat.

"Can we go inside?" I asked him softly, not looking at him.

He didn't say anything, only stepped aside and let me enter. Jake had been changed... I could feel it. No wonder he let me in.

I sat down on the sofa and said, "I'm sorry. I know you still hate me, but I just wanted to tell you I miss you."

"I don't miss you." Benji snorted, laughing evilly, "I'm fucking over you."

"Y... Over me?" I squeaked out.

"Yeah. Over you. As in, get the fuck out of my house I don't need you or WANT you over you." He retorted.

"Over me?" I squeaked again, with a higher pitch.

"YES OVER YOU! Jesus christ I hate you!"

"Whatdoyoumeanhowcanyoubeoverme!?" I squaked even HIGHER pitched this time and Benjis expression changed from angry to shocked. "IT'S NOT FAIR!" I SCREAMED. I had absolutely no control. I wanted to tie benji up and stab him repeatedly, But I also wanted to just cuddle with him and tell him how much I loved him and have him say it back.

"Joel. You bit Tom. You get what you..." I smacked him across the face before jumping up. But you have to remember, things like that, no matter how hard its done, (unless he gets smacked in the face by say. A pro boxer gone vampire) wont hurt him.

"HOW DARE YOU SAY YOU'RE OVER ME YOU'RE LYING!" I screamed, before sliding back down to the ground "You can't be over me." I sobbed.

"Whoa... Joel just.. calm down." Benji reached out for my shoulderbut i went to bite him and he drew back.

"DON'T TOUCH ME! I KNOW YOU HATE ME! YOU SAID YOU HATED ME DON'T EVER TOUCH MEAGAINIMGONNAKILLMYSELF!" I cried.

I couldn't stop the sobs that left my throat. Benji had hurt me too much. First he STABS me, then he hates me, he says all these mean things to me and he doesn't want anything to do with me. I can't LIVE without him.

I NEED him. There's no worse feeling in the world than having your twin tell you they hate you.

"Joel.. please," Benji said softly, reaching out for me again.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" I screamed, "Get away from me. You hate me... I wanna die..."

"Joel, don't talk like that," Benji tried again.

I sobbed and grabbed the leg of the table, tearing it off easily and it became a makeshift stake.

I stood shakily and raised the stake above my heart. "I love you Benji," I sobbed, "I don't wanna live without you. I wanna die. And burn in hell because I don't deserve you."

I knew I was talking nonsense, but I wasn't exactly in any state of mind at the moment.

"Joel please," Benji whispered, "Don't do it..."

I brought the stake down at my chest, but missed completely and somehow ended up falling onto the floor, sobbing violently before passing out.

I woke up in the bedroom. It was COMPLETELY dark. Had I been out all afternoon? I didn't remember anything... Did I actually stake myself? Was I dead or in hell? I realized I wasn't when I heard Benji's muffled sobs from the corner. My blurred vision focused and I saw him sitting in the armchair. I was in the guestroom.

"Benji?" I asked him, my voice raspy from having screached earlier.

"Joel? You're awake?" He jumped up and sniffled before he ran over to me. "Joel are you okay?"

"Yeah..." I said softly, as I remembered everything he'd said to me. "Benji. Are you really... 'over me'?"

"No." Benji was the one crying now.

"Why'd you say that?"

"Because... I just wanted you to go away. I thought it would be better like that. I didn't believe you bit tom accidentally. I didn't know you were gonna flip out." he explained, still crying.

"I just. I can't believe you said that." I cried also. Benji leaned up and wrapped his arms around me. And I'm ashamed to say I felt scared. He had done so much to hurt me, emotionally and physically, that right now I didn't exactallly know what his 'angle' was. For all I knew, he had a stake in his back pocket.

"Danny and Billy are here. They came over looking for you. They figured I'd staked you." Benji laughed sadly.

"You didn't tell them I tried to myself did you?"

"Yeah."

"Oh."

"I'm sorry." Benji apologized.

"No. It's okay. I just don't want everyone acting all. weird around me." I told him.

"Joel I'm so sorry," Benji cried, hugging me tightly to him, "I just... I want everything to be normal again. I miss you so much."

I hugged him back slowly, still a bit wary that he'd try to stake me right away.

"I love you Joel," Benji whispered against my shoulder, "These past two months have been nothing but hell for me without you. I'm sorry... I love you Joel."

"I love you too," I whispered, kissing him softly.

If he wanted to stake me, I didn't care. All I cared about right then was being back with him. To be a family and LOVERS again. Like we should be.

"I wanna forget about these past two months," Benji whispered, hugging me, "I want everything to be the way it was."

I nodded, holding him close to me.
