This is the sixth installment of my Vampire Kisses series. The previous six are on my fictionpress account ( .com/~hopeflies to read them). I'm not saying that you have to read the previous five before reading this, however it would make things easier for you in the long run.

NOW my one and only disclaimer: The only characters/things I own in this story are Hope, Mary, Elizabeth, Magnus, and the plot. Everything else is owned by someone else, so don't yell at me.

Without further aduie, here is Vampire Kisses VI: The Last Bite, chapter one

Vampire Kisses VI

The Last Bite

"What did he do?" Hope's mother screeched at her.

"He…He bit me. Spencer bit me," Hope said in a scared voice.

Earlier that night Hope was having the best time. She had found love, she was sure of it.

What happened was during the last song of her sweet sixteenth birthday, her love, Spencer, had been kissing her. Deeply. He started kissing her throat and what was originally meant as play, turned into something dangerous. Spencer had bitten Hope.

Hope was half Vampire, half Human. Her parents were Vampires. They were very special Vampires. They were king and queen of all Vampires. Hope was princess of all Vampires.

While she had a choice of whether or not she wanted to be Human or Vampire, if she wasn't a Vampire, her parents wouldn't have a blood-related heir to the thrown if they should die, and Vampires would pretty much be thrown into chaos.

Hope getting bitten by the human Spencer had turned her into a full blooded Human.

As soon as Hope felt the sharp stab of pain in her neck, she stepped away and put her hand to her neck. When she pulled it back, her hands and blood on the tips.

Hope panicked and ran out of the ballroom, away from Cobra Starship (her second favorite band), away from Panic! At the Disco (her favorite band) and away from their drummer and her love, Spencer.

Spencer tried to follow, but after Hope ran past the red curtain the separated the ballroom from the hallway, guards had stopped him.

Hope had collapsed in a pile in the corner. She knew her sobs weren't quiet, and she could hear Spencer trying to talk to her, but she wouldn't let him in.

Eventually her mom found out about it all and came rushing to Hope. Originally she hadn't seen the bite on her neck, but that didn't last long. When Hope was brought to her Mother's room, her mother finally noticed it when she was taking off her make-up and undoing her hair so it covered Hope's bare shoulders.

"Hope," her mother had said. "What's that. On your shoulder." Hope could hear the chaos in her mother's voice, her mom freaking out that Hope might have been bitten.

After hope told her what it was, her mom flipped. And that was where they were.

"Get Magnus," her mother said to a guard just inside the room by the door.

He immediately walked off and got Hope's father.

"I love him, mom! I really love him! It's not his fault that he accidentally bit me," Hope tried to say to Spencer's defense.

"He accidentally bit you? What the hell was he doing, having his mouth at your neck?" her mother screamed at her.

"We were kissing, Mom! What do you think we were doing?" Hope said, trying to hold back tears.

After a moment of silence, she replied. "Honestly, Hope. I though Mary had raised you better than this."

Elizabeth just stood in the corner, pinching the bridge of her nose and breathing deeply.

"What is it," Magnus, Hope's father said as he rushed in. "Elizabeth, what's…" he continued, before gazing at Hope's bare shoulder, which left the bite in clear view.

"Hope," was all he said. "Who bit you, Hope?"

"The man I love. Spencer Smith. What are you going to do to him? Dad, stop," Hope said as Magnus left the room, a mission in his step and a deathly look in his eyes.

Hope tried to run after her father, but one of the guards waiting just outside the door caught her.

"No," she screamed. "Let me go! Let me go!"

Elizabeth walked outside of her bedroom and the guard put her on the floor but he still held her arms so hard, Hope just knew there would be bruises tomorrow. Elizabeth grabbed Hope by just above her elbow and nearly pulled Hope so hard from the guards arms that Hope thought it would rip her arms out. Then, in a quiet, calm voice that said Elizabeth was seconds from losing it, said, "Don't you ever embarrass me like that again. You will stop this behavior right now. You will go to your room and you will stay there. You will not go into the closet, you will not open any of your gifts. You may move the gifts to make a spot for you to sit on your bed, but that is it. I want you sitting on your bed until I am ready to even look at you. I don't care if it takes months. You will not sleep and you will not lie down. Now go."

Elizabeth let go Hope and Hope practically ran to her room, tears streaming down her face.

Pour Spencer, Hope thought. Her parents were going to tear him to pieces.

Being only slightly careful of all of Hope's, she moved all the gifts from atop her bed to other places, not really caring why. She made sure to clear her pillow off though.

What would her parents do to Spencer? They surely wouldn't kill him, but would they torture him? Hope felt sick with worry.

After what felt like days and days but was only a few hours of Hope sitting on her bed, pillow help to close her, the door opened and in walked Spencer.

Hope ran up to him and wrapped her arms around him, also laying quick kisses everywhere.

"Oh, Spencer! I was so worried! What did my parents do to you?" Hope asked him, breathless by everything and slightly dizzy from the blood rushing to her head.

"They…" he began, uncomfortable by Hope's closeness for some reason.

"What's wrong?" she asked him, wondering why he still hadn't hugged or back or kissed her.

"Well, it's what your parents told me. They…well they said they were…Vampires," he said in a voice that said he feared Hope's parents. Well, at that moment, so did Hope. Practically every Vampire at that moment scared her. But she was also confused. Why would Spencer believe it so fast? Surely he didn't have some old obsession with Vampires, did he?

"They…" he continued, uncomfortable as to what he had to say. Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes, he said, "They showed me their fangs. And…they also told me what you are, I mean were. Until I accidentally bit you and drew blood, you were. They said that because of that, you had to live with me, that you couldn't stay here with the rest of the Vampire community. Hope, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to destroy your life! Please forgive me," He finished, distressed by what he had caused.

Hope had frozen. When Spencer had finished his little speech, he had engulfed Hope in a hug, just as Hope had when he had first walked in.

Hope was shocked that his parents would do that to an outsider, well, now an insider. But she was also hurt. She couldn't stay here with her parents, her dream since she had first fully realized what being adopted meant at Aunt Mary's (a Vampire that raised all of the Half Vampire children until their sixteenth birthday). And now it was going to be taken away from her?

Hope took a step back, tears thick in her eyes, ready to brim over. "What do you mean, I can't stay here anymore," Hope asked him.

" He means you are no longer a princess," said the cold, hard voice of her mother. "You are no longer under our protection. You don't belong here, Hope. You must leave. Your clothes have already been pack from when you left Mary Anne's. Your other things can be brought, but I don't recommend it. You can bring all your books, if you must, and a few small things. Get packed. You leave with Spencer," she finished. "Realize you've left us with no choice Hope. Getting bitten by a human was a terrible mistake. Know what when we die, your children, if you have any, will be hunted down, as with Spencer's. You're both in danger from this second on. Touring is the best thing to avoid it. I'm sorry we need to do this Hope,"

"What," Hope said, incredulous and disbelieving. Her parents weren't seriously kicking her out, were they?

She took a half step closer to Spencer to hold his warm, callused hands in hers. Looking first a Spencer, then at her mother, she said, "You're kicking me out? Just like that? Can't I got back to Mary's?"

"Ho Hope," her father said, stepping into the room with a hard look on his face. Hope could see disappointment in his eyes. "You will become a full human in twelve hours after the bite. When you wake up tomorrow, you will no longer have anything to do with Vampires, except your bank account. You are still our child after all. But you will forever bond with whoever changed you."

A guard knocked on the door, then whispered something to Magnus. Magnus nodded and the guard left.

"Hope," her father said. "It's time for you to leave. The rest of the band is waiting impatiently for you two. Spencer, tell her the cover up story as you leave. Hope, your things are outside your old room. A few guards are going to help bring the boxes to the car. Good bye, my child."

With that, the door was opened and Spencer and Hope walked out of the room, Hope's arm wrapped around his waist, and Spencer's around her shoulders. As they walked down the hall, following the guards that were carrying her only possessions, Spencer explained what the cover up story was (there were problems with the family and Hope was in danger so she had to stay with someone her family didn't know so).

After a short explanation to the rest of the band (and confused looks toward Hope), they all got into the tour bus and drove off to their first stop. As Hope stepped in, she didn't see what the bus looked like. All she saw was the brown, card board boxes in the corners and along the sides of the vehicle, out of the way.

Suddenly it all hit her. She wasn't going to see her parents again. She wasn't going to be living in the room they had spent so much time onto. She wasn't going to get another gift from them. She was being exiled from her own family. She realized this wasn't a dream. Her only family had just kicked her out. Her one dream had just been smashed.

Hope burst into tears and Spencer immediately wrapped his arms protectively around her.

Sure, Hope was going to be living with Spencer, Jon, Ryan and Brendon, but the cost? Never seeing her parents again.

Hopefully you guys enjoyed that (or at least understood it all). For those of you who have been waiting for this for a while, I'm sorry, but fictionpress and fanfiction were being evil and not letting me log on for four days. But it finally did, and here's your chapter.
