Are You Afraid Of the Dark?
Hey guys! It's the sequel to Mysterious Darkness! I'm so excited! I know you guys are too cause I've been asked about it a lot. So I went trick or treating right and got a lot of candy and had a lot of fun. We got scared a couple of times but it was still completely awesome. Um oh I'm about to get my hair cut into a Mohawk and dyed purple, I'm so excited!
I actually have no idea what is going to happen….well that's not entirely true but I just don't know exactly how I'm going to word it. I have the whole general outline of the story but not the details. Um I can tell you though this one is gonna be long, really long cause I've got a lot to cover before the third one. I hope you all enjoy.
A/N-This one is just the title of the story, I highly doubt theirs a song named "Are You Afraid of the Dark" but I like it for this title.
Disclaimer-Don't own Step Up 2 if I did that probably wouldn't be a good thing.
Darkness.
A creation so scary yet fascinating. You can't feel it or hear and some say that you can't even see it. But what do you call the pitch blackness that surrounds you when the lights are turned off? There is only one word for it, darkness. And are you not seeing it then? Is it not something that you can rest your eyes upon?
It is both an energy source and a power drainer. The creation known as darkness makes most people scared and when there is nothing around but darkness people panic. Their heartbeats quicken and their pulses race. They become extremely loud to the things with sensitive hearing and that is how most humans are killed. They become scared and their bodies get loud. No words may leave a humans mouth but the racing blood that pumps through their veins could be heard a mile away from anything of supernatural form and their goes that humans' life.
That's exactly what Andie was trying to prevent. She was trying to keep a group of very special humans alive. The one that she wanted to protect the most was having a hard time keeping his cool in the dark. Andie was sitting in the exact middle of the pitch black room and she could hear quite a few racing hearts.
Growling in frustration, Andie buried her face in her hands. She decided to give them a little bit more time but that thought quickly left her head when suddenly their was a loud bam and the smell of blood filled Andie's nose. A boyish scream filled the air and Andie sighed in defeated.
"Robert, turn on the lights."
The brightness of the lights overhead hurt her ice blue eyes for a moment but Andie ignored the pain. She looked up slowly at the group of humans that stood in front of her. Chase was standing with his arms crossed over his chest, an annoyed look in his yellow snake eyes. His older brother Blake was standing holding tightly to his pregnant girlfriend Brandy's hand. Andie had not even wanted Brandy to be in there, she didn't think it was safe for the pregnant woman to be stumbling around in a pitch black, object filled room. But Brandy had taken a great liking to Andie when Blake had finally told her what Andie, Moose, Shane and Missy were. And Andie was finding it harder and harder to say no to the woman. Alex was standing on Chase's other side, holding his hand tightly, red blood dripping onto the floor.
"What did you do?" Andie asked.
"Stupid desk!" Alex exclaimed. "Andie why the hell would you put a desk full of scissors in a dark room?"
"Because," Andie replied. "Nothing in this room is safe, you all said you wanted to be trained so that you could protect yourself, you must be able to maneuver in the dark first, after all, we are creatures of the dark."
Alex glared slightly at the wall but did not say anything else.
"Chase, you kicked me earlier." Andie said smirking at him. "What was up with that?"
Smiling and shrugging, Chase scratched the back of his head.
"I thought you were a piece of furniture." He gave her an innocent smile. "Can we fight now?"
Rolling her eyes, Andie pushed herself to her feet.
"Pair up." She said quietly.
Both Chase and Alex hollered for joy and started to move around. Andie watched very carefully, Chase's crew. She had been skeptical at first for Chase to even tell them what she and her family were. To her great surprise, they had taken if very well. But that did not stop them from trying to sneak glances at her every so often. This was only the second time they'd been over and the tension that they had whenever she got close to them was almost unbearable. She tried hard not to listen to their thoughts after they left her house.
"So what do you guys want to work on first?" Andie asked.
"We actually wanna fight you." Alex piped up.
Andie raised an eyebrow.
"You what?" She asked.
"Please Andie." Alex begged. "It'll be fun you know it and it's not like you can't take us all."
Andie looked over Alex's head to her twin who was standing by the door smirking.
"What do you think Moose?" She asked.
He gave her a wide smile.
"I think you should do it." He replied. "I need some entertainment in my life."
Andie faked a glare at him that made some of Chase's crew shiver.
"Alright, so you just wanna go through it real quick?" Andie asked. "Or do you wanna go until you're all to tired to stand?"
"Til we're too tired to stand!" Brandy cheered.
"Brandy you can't." Andie said with a shake of the head. "I have to draw the line here, I won't fight you, it'll be bad for the baby."
Brandy huffed but cradled her big stomach.
"You know I don't like you fumbling around in the dark in the first place." Andie said gently. "So please go and sit with Moose, he'll keep you entertained for sure."
Brandy gave one more huff before doing as Andie asked. Andie mentally cheered and decided to walk circles around everyone. Giving them tiny corrections about how to stand or how to watch her carefully and not take their eyes from her figure.
"Okay," Andie said taking a few steps back from them. "Attack me."
--
An hour later, the only one still fighting Andie was Alex. He was tired, Andie could tell but that didn't stop him from still attacking her.
"Alex love, give up." Andie laughed as she dodged his fist. "You're so tired you can hardly stand."
"I'm okay." Alex replied spinning and kicking at her. "You just want me to give up because you're tired."
Grinning at him, Andie caught his foot and threw him gently into the wall. He gave a slight grunt as he slid down it. Andie watched him carefully, hoping he would just stay down. When he looked as if he was about to come after her again, Andie pounced on him, pinning him down with her knees and sitting on his stomach.
"Not fair." Alex whined.
"Alex for real, just give it up." Andie said. "Aren't you hungry?"
He stopped struggling for a moment before sighing in defeat.
"Yea I am," He pouted. "Now you can get off me."
Andie smirked before climbing off the teenager. She helped him to his feet before brushing off some of the dust that covered her. At the begging of the fight they had ganged up on her, and threw her into the desk of scissors. One of them had cut her a little bit on the leg but only Robert knew that. He was worried about her but the both of them were more worried about Alex's hand which was bleeding kind of badly.
"Go find Miles." Moose told him as he inspected it closely. "He'll wrap it for you."
Alex nodded and jumped to his feet before running for the door.
"Alright guys, I'm pretty sure Missy has some food ready for you in the kitchen." Andie said smiling tentatively at the crew.
As they rushed for the door, Andie stayed back from a moment and soon she felt Chase's arms wrap around her waist.
"What's wrong?" He whispered in her ear.
"They don't like me." She said softly.
Chase grinned into her neck,
"No, they like you, they're just worried about you." He said.
Andie frowned.
"Typical humans, they're worried about what I might do to them huh?"
Chase shook his head.
"Actually they're worried about what you might do to me." He replied. "They think that one day you're going to break my heart."
"I would never." Andie said.
"I know that," Chase replied kissing her cheek. "It's just that I haven't always had the best girlfriends so they're a little cautious about you."
"And you expect me to believe that it has nothing to do with me being a vampire?" Andie asked.
When Chase didn't answer, she laughed and started to pull him towards the door.
--
Chase and the crew, started to head home around midnight. Chase didn't want to leave but Andie told him that she had some business to take care of. And she did. Plus she was getting tired of all the intense looks the crew were giving her.
"Will I see you tomorrow?" Chase asked as the two of them said goodbye at Andie's front door.
"Yes." Andie nodded.
Chase smiled happily and Andie stood on her tip toes to kiss him gently. Chase placed his hand on the small of her back and pulled her closer. Andie let out a tiny growl when Chase nibbled at her lips and she pulled him close by his shoulders.
"Chase!" Alex's voice interrupted them. "We've gotta go before Dad gets home!"
Chase sighed against Andie's lips before pulling apart.
"I'll call you later." He said.
Andie smiled at him.
"Alright," She nodded. "Now go before you get in trouble."
Chase smiled and kissed her forehead before letting go of her and heading down the walkway.
"Andie,"
Turning, the smile dropped from Andie's face as she met eyes with Moose.
It was time to go to work.
--
"I wish you guys would stop looking at Andie so weirdly." Chase said as he started up his SUV. "She's starting to notice."
"Chase how can we not look at her weirdly?" Hair asked inspecting his scraped elbow.
"She's a freaking vampire for crying out loud!" Cable said. "I mean that's like as cool as they come but still is scary too!"
Chase laughed and shook his head.
"It's not scary guys." He said. "It's wonderful."
"You're just saying that cause she's pretty." Fly said. "You didn't see the way she was looking at us."
"How was she looking at your guys?" Chase asked.
"She was staring at us." Cable said. "Creepily."
Chase almost choked on his own spit. He couldn't believe the way his crew was acting, it was really funny. He couldn't help but try and ignore the little bits of anger that was bubbling in his stomach. Who were they to judge Andie? Just because she was a little different than them. She wouldn't hurt them because they were special to Chase. She told him that the day before he brought the crew over, when he had asked if he could bring them. She told him that she would not hurt them because they were special to him and anyone special to him was special to her.
"You're not at least a little bit scared of her Chase?" Fly asked. "Be honest."
Chase did not answer at first. Was he afraid of his own girlfriend? Yes her vampire form could be scary when she was angry but he'd never given her a reason to be angry at him. Therefore he had no reason to be afraid of her
"No I'm not." He finally answered. "Andie may be scary, but she would never hurt me or anyone that I love. She promised."
"Just cause she promised man doesn't mean anything." Monster said speaking for the first time. "After all she is a creatura de la noche."
"She's a what?" Chase and Alex asked instantly.
"A creature of night man." Monster said. "She's one of the walking dead."
Chase rolled his eyes,
"Monster she's completely fine." He said. "Guys I really need you to trust me. Andie is completely safe, she wants to be friends with you all."
"What about her family?" Kido asked. "They don't speak."
Chase grinned.
"Missy, Shane and Moose do talk." He said. "They're just cautious of you because they don't want to scare you."
"And the Doctor?" Cable asked. "How come we've never seen him?"
"Because Miles prefers to be by himself." Alex answered. "He doesn't like to be around anyone except for Andie."
"But why is that?" Hair asked.
"Maybe it's because you humans are annoying." Chase just about growled.
"Us humans?" Fly asked. "I'm seriously tired of us calling us that just because you're some weird snake thing now."
"Don't talk to my brother like that." Alex glared. "You know it's still quite a ways your house. So if you all don't shut up I'm kicking you out this car."
"It's not even your car." Kido said. "It's belongs to Chase."
"Yea but I'm Chase's little brother and what I saw goes." Alex replied. "Now shut up about Andie and her family."
Chase looked in his review mirror to see Cable and Monster about to reply to Alex.
"Seriously guys," He said as the car came to a stop. "Let it go and get out. You're home."
Hair and Cable grumbled something that Chase couldn't hear and the others filed out quietly. Once they were gone, Alex climbed into the front seat and let out a heavy sigh.
"What do you think it's going to take for them to trust her?" Chase asked softly.
"I don't man." Alex replied. "But Andie won't wait for them to trust her for forever."
--
As Andie and Moose sat on the roof of the office building, Andie's thoughts kept going to Chase. He was worried, she could feel it and it had something to do with her. Andie couldn't stop the frown that placed itself on her face. Had she done something wrong? Was he mad at her?
"Andie, you've really got to stop thinking so loud." Moose said gently. "He'll hear you if you don't."
"Was that loud?" Andie asked clutching her head.
Moose nodded.
"I'm sorry." She replied. "I didn't mean to."
"Chase isn't mad at you." Moose told her softly, putting a hand on her shoulder. "And you've done nothing wrong."
"You can feel it too?" Andie asked softly.
Moose gave her a sad smile before nodding once.
"I can't help it if his friends are scared of us." Andie continued. "I wasn't too sure about them finding out in the first place."
"Give them time." Moose replied. "You have to remember that we're dealing with humans."
Andie sighed and nodded.
"I just wish---."
Cutting herself off, Andie's head snapped up at the sound of combat boots hitting the sidewalk below them.
"Is that him?" Andie asked.
"Yep," Moose nodded. "That's him alright."
The siblings, surveyed the man below them. He had to be at least in his late fifties, his head was covered in long white hair and he was dressed in all black. The two twin vampires could smell the silver that lined both his clothes and his weapons. They could hear the swish of his holy water and the both of them snorted at the thought of it hurting them. His stakes were freshly cut and the alcohol and lighter that he kept in his back pocket were full and ready to kill.
"He means serious business huh?" Moose asked chuckling slightly.
"Apparently." Andie replied. "Is Tyler sure that he's the one?"
Moose nodded and them both of them shared a sad look.
Tyler had not been doing well, not since the death of Nora. Andie was positive that he'd not spoken more than fifty times since it happened and that was over six months ago. The boys' heart had not mended itself, he would not even consider going on tour. He insisted that it could all wait until he got his Nora back…..if he ever got her back.
Looking up into the sky, Andie pressed her lips together. Raising two fingers to her lips, she kissed them before holding them up to the sky. Moose did the same and the both of them went back to watching the man walk down the street.
"How does he know though?" Andie asked suddenly.
"How does who know what?" Moose asked confused.
"Tyler, how does he know that this is the slayer?"
Moose looked at her in understanding now, he gave her another sad smile.
"Tyler has been looking and listening for anyone who aims to hurt or kill vampires." He explained. "He says that he doesn't want anything like what happened to Nora happening to other vampires."
Andie nodded.
"Come on," Moose said nodding once to the street. "He's turning the corner."
"Naw," Andie said. "We should get home and see how much more can find out about this guy. I just wanted to see him."
Moose nodded and the both of them shot up into the sky.
"What's his name again?" Andie asked as they made for their home.
"Mendoza, Javier Mendoza."
Right okay guys, first chapters done. Lots of stuff going on in this one. If you're wondering why the crew is acting the way it is, well that just because I've got a reason for it don't worry. They'll get better I swear. Oh and Javier Mendoza is very bad news guys. You're going to hate him once this story is over.
A/N-I'm not sure when the next chapter will be up but hopefully it'll be soon!
Reviews keep my fingers typing chapters!
