(Hey guys! Here is the third vampire Outsiders story! Sorry for the late updates with the last story but this time the updates won't be that long I promise. I don't own the Outsiders.)

Chapter 1

School has gotten here fast. One day you're a junior and the next you're a senior. Sorry, I don't think you know me. Well, let me introduce myself. My name is Ponyboy Curtis, the youngest out of the Curtis family. My parents died in a tragic accident. I now live with my two older brothers named Darry and Sodapop. Yes, that's his real name. Says so on his birth certificate.

We hang out with four other boys. Two-bit Matthews, Steve Randel, Dallas Winston, and Johnny Cade. We are just an average normal group of Greasers. No my mistake, we are not your average group of Greasers. I failed to mention that the guys are vampires. Yep, vampires. You know the ones who like blood. I finally got your attention.

Anyway, I didn't know about that til Darry and I got into a dispute over a year ago and he exposed the vampire world to me. It also didn't help that while I ran away, with Johnny, we ran into Socs, the other group of vampires. The Soc, Bob, made his friends hold me down and he bit me. I was rescued but Johnny had killed the Soc. So we ran away to Windrixville and hid in an abandon church for a while. There we discovered our true feelings for each other.

After that Dally convinced the cops, more like compelled, that we moved to Texas, so we got off the hook. We soon learned that the Socs wanted to have a rumble and I was forced to stay home. We soon got kidnapped and I was bit by Darry's old friend Paul. Anyway Johnny went away and soon returned home and everything was back to normal.

Well almost, at the end of my junior year I meet a girl named Kylee, and she didn't tell me her family was a group of hunters. Well, they kidnapped me, kept me hostage, burned down our house and Paul rescued me. Well, you see since he found out about the Hunters Committee was coming to Tulsa to destroy everyone he needed help, and unfortunately I was dragged into it. The leader, John Murray, wanted to figure out how to survive a vampire bit and I didn't tell him. Randy, Paul, and I meet the guys at a diner, went back to Tulsa and kicked butt.

Now we have a nice house, Paul is officially dating Darry, and I graduate this year. But there is one thing that's bugging me. And it just showed up on the news.

"This morning a man has found a woman who I can only say is having the blood drained out," the female reporter said. "Who would do such a thing?" She asked her fellow anchorman. He shrugged his shoulders and came up with some witty comment. "And now to the weather." I turned the TV off.

"Who would do such a thing?" I asked myself. I was home alone, considering the others were out feeding. It was such a nice cloudy day. Oh, did I forget to mention that the guys can't go out during the sun. They don't burn or anything, they just get extremely tired.

I pulled out my English textbook and began fixing my paragraph for my project. I had to write the most exciting thing that has happened to me, but I don't want to write about vampires. Mr. Brown would think I'm nuts.

I was so drawn into the work that I jumped when the door burst open, "Don't slam the door." I said, and the door slammed shut. Just like the old house. I rolled my eyes as I continued to fix my sentence. Erasing something that didn't seem right. Johnny plopped down beside me.

I have seen an improvement in Johnny the past year. A year ago, Johnny was jumped, he got scared real bad, and since then he was scared of his own shadow. Now he has improved, I'm seeing more of the old Johnny than ever before. "What you doing, Pone?" He asked, putting an arm on the back of the couch.

"I have to do a project about what the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me and I don't know what to write." I threw my pencil across the room and Soda using his speed had caught it. He tapped the end against his head twice and handed it to me. "Show off." I grunted. He laughed and followed Steve to their room.

"Well, you can write about that new movie you seen." Johnny suggested. He liked coming with me to watch movies, everyone else didn't like them but I did. I also like to read. Johnny bought me a copy of Gone with the Wind, but I lost that in the fire.

"I don't think that's exciting by his terms." I said, turning to lay on the arm rest of the couch. I put my feet up and Johnny straightened one of my legs and rubbed my foot and calf. I moaned. Not that way you perverts! I run track and it kills my legs. "Thanks Johnny." I groaned. He nodded and kept doing it.

I suddenly felt someone tickling my feet. I looked up and it was Paul, "Surprise!" He shouted, with a smile on his face. Who would've imagined that a Soc, who grew up mean and supposed to hate Greasers, was living with us? Paul used to be Darry's friend, and Paul turned him in college. They had a falling out and Paul disappeared. He soon came back and he showed up on the steps of our old house and was hurt.

He wanted to get back with Darry, but Darry was unsure about it, considering what happened with me. They eventually started dating. I jerked my foot back. "Stop i! Trying to concentrate." I growled, annoyed with the distractions. He got back up with a huff and went to find Darry, I assume.

I finally finished writing the sentence and dinner was done. I was the only one that ate, the guys just sat there so we can have a nice conversation. Here's how the table order went: I was in the middle of Johnny and Two-bit, and across from Two-bit was Dally. Across from me was Soda and Steve was across from Johnny. Paul was at the end of the table and Darry was at the head.

I ate homemade pizza with pepperoni, green peppers, and sausage. It was good. The others would usually talk about their day. Today, I wanted to bring this to attention. "Did you guys now that a woman was found dead this morning, bite wounds on her neck?" I said, taking a bite and chewing.

The others stopped chatting and looked at me. I stopped chewing, "What?" I asked when I swallowed what I had. I took another bite. "What do you mean?" Steve emphasized looking at me like I was stupid. I really hate Steve, I just don't tell Soda about that.

"I mean, they found her outside of a bar and she was completely drained of blood." I said, looking at the faces of each vampire. Johnny had his hands folded neatly on the table and everyone else was slouching in their chairs. I almost felt guilty for ruining their day. Almost.

"Do they suspect anyone? Did anyone see someone take her out back?" Darry asked me. I shook my head. "They haven't talked to anybody yet, but you'll probably read it in the newspaper soon anyway." I finished my pizza and washed my plate. I set it on the drainer to dry and walked to my room I shared with Johnny.

"What about your homework?" Darry hollered up at me, in a patronizing tone. I froze, my hand hovering over the door handle. "I finished it!" I hollered back down.

"Okay," Darry hollered. "Just checking." He went to the living room. Soon enough, I heard Mickey Mouse on TV. Two-bit and that stupid Mickey Mouse collection. I changed out of my school clothes and into pajamas. A button up top and plaid pajama bottoms and walked down the stairs to watch Mikey Mouse with the guys. I sat next to Johnny and he put his arm back around me.

In the middle of the movie, I noticed Dally looking out the window. His posture was straight and he looked like he was contemplating something. I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned to see Johnny giving me a look and shaking his head. I wanted to know what was up with Dally after the fight. He never picked on Two-bit or bugged me like he used to. He was quiet and angrier than he used to.

It seemed he hated himself and the world at the same time. Whatever was bugging him I hope he got over it soon. I miss the old Dally more. I felt myself falling asleep and would jerk my head whenever I felt myself nod off. "Go to bed, Pony," I heard Darry say, he was sitting in his chair. "You got school tomorrow." I nodded and gradually managed to push myself off the couch and walk up the stairs into my bedroom.

I pulled the covers down and fell asleep.

I had a nightmare. That didn't surprise me anymore. I always had nightmares after mom and dad died. The last time it was of a hunter killing Johnny. This time it was a room, and my hands were chained to the metal headboard. I pulled the chains and I was frantically trying to get out. I heard footsteps coming close.

The door opened and it was a dark silhouette of a person. "Don't come any closer!" I yelled at it. I tried to fight the person as it got closer. It climbed onto the bed and slowly crawled its way up to meet me. It hovered above me, its hands on the either side of my head. It straddled me. It moved his head to my neck.

I felt its tongue lick my neck, I felt my head move to allow it access. I wanted to fight, but my body wouldn't respond. I felt the familiar pain and soon I felt my blood leave my body. I opened my mouth to scream but nothing came out. The thing was done feeding and lifted its head up to look at me. This time it was a face, those familiar eyes. It was Curly! Mouth covered in my blood and he was smiling down at me.

"You. Are. MINE!" He screamed. My throat finally let out a scream.

I woke up in a cold sweat. I tried to catch my breath, but it was so horrible that I couldn't get my breath. Johnny was there instantly. Darry and Soda was on the other side. They were trying to get me to calm down. I couldn't hear what they said, because I was feeling lightheaded.

I felt cold hands grab my face and I was soon met with Johnny's eyes. "Breath." He commanded, and I felt my lungs take in air. I blinked and the compulsion was gone.

"What the hell was that?" Darry asked me, looking startled and scared. The others were outside my room while Darry, Soda and Johnny tried to calm me down.

"Sorry," I gasped hoarsely. "Just a nightmare."

"What kind of nightmare? It sure sounded like you were getting gutted." Soda exclaimed, fear in his eyes. I shook my head. The nightmare was fading. Try as I might, I couldn't think of what it was about. "Sorry that I bothered you."

"Do you want me to stay here with you?" Johnny asked, pulling me close to him. I always felt safe in his arms. I nodded and Darry shooed everyone else out and closed my door. Johnny pulled me close and I felt relaxed. I didn't want to go back to sleep.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Johnny asked hesitantly. I shook my head.

"No," I said quickly. "Besides, I can't remember what it was about." Johnny tightened his hold and kissed my head. He hummed a soft song and I fell into a dreamless sleep.
