Turned
I do not own the Suite Life on Deck
The sky is a nice shade of red-orange as the sun sets, a beautiful sight but Cody Martin couldn't enjoy it if he wanted, why you ask well because he lying on his back in the middle of main deck unconscious but the most peculiar thing is that there were two little trickles of blood silently dripping down his neck.
Cody is given quite a rude awakening in the form of Mr. Moseby screaming in his face, the blonde teen bolted up right but let out a pained groan in doing so.
"Cody! Why are lying around when you have a job to do?" the high strung manager shrieks. Cody gives the small man an odd look
"How did I get on the floor…and why do I feel like something just chewed me up and spit me out?" Mr. Moseby gave an annoyed glare as Cody started to climb to his feet but was very wobbly.
"I'm not sure why but I know you need to get back to work" Cody took a shaky step forward and almost collapsed but caught himself on a table. Mr. Moseby was about to make his usual empty threat when Cody's twin brother Zack appeared behind.
"Knock it off Moseby" Zack growled taking hold of Cody's arm and helping him to stand properly "Th-thanks Zack" Cody whispered weakly before his legs gave way.
Zack then turned around and sent an angry glare at his boss "Oh and FYI Mr. Moseby, if you find someone on floor, you should find out if they're all right and if not call help" he said angrily "It's obvious that Cody is in a bad way right now"
Mr. Moseby looked closer to discover that Zack was right for once. The general manager helped Zack bring Cody to his room and lied him down on his bed "Rest here for a while Codes maybe you'll feel better" Cody didn't need to be told twice as he passed out instantly. Zack smirked "Too exhausted to even comment huh, see ya in a little bit bro" Zack walks out of his cabin and closed the door and proceeds back to his drink stand.
When Cody awoke it was around seven-thirty and sun had completely set, Cody felt a little better but not by much he slowly began to stand up his legs was still slightly unstable since they quaked when he put his weight on them.
He carefully made his way to the bathroom, Cody arrived at the bathroom sink and splashed some water on his face when he looked in the mirror above it he yelled in shock because what he saw staring backing was not his typical blue-green; well they were but they had a reddish tint to them, another thing he noticed his skin was deathly pale.
"What the hell happened to me?" he questioned no one in particular. He walked out of the bathroom and stood in front of the large mirror on the back of his dresser it gave him a better view as it reflected him from the waist down.
He shed his shirt and noticed his body although eerily pale was now flawless and he was also perfectly toned with nice abs showing pleasantly.
He pulled the garment back on and walked out of the cabin, he could see the moon through the spaces between the barrier walls and its silver ethereal glow seemed to invigorate him. It seemed that light of the moon replenished some of his strength as he felt it coursing through him.
He strolled leisurely out onto the central deck and cast a look around for any familiar faces. He immediately spots Zack still working smoothie bar "I thought his shift would've ended by now" he thought aloud. Cody proceeded towards his brother "Hey Zack" he greeted once within earshot.
Zack spins around on the spot after hearing his name "Cody!" he said a wild grin spreading across his face. Cody reached the bar and sat on one of the many bar stools.
"Are you okay dude, I mean after Mr. Moseby found you out cold over there I was actually worried" Zack said thoroughly relieved that his twin was seemingly well. "Like I told him I don't know how I got there" Cody said shaking his head "I know dude, I know…hey are you sure you're okay because you are really pale" asked the maverick twin.
"Yeah I feel so-so but nothing major" as Cody finished that thought Mr. Moseby came over since he noticed Cody was up and about. "Ah Cody I see you've recovered to some extent" the teen shifted his gaze to the diminutive manager
"Yeah" Cody replied through gritted teeth "I'll be expecting you at work tomorrow afternoon and acts or excuses. Cody's gaze turned from a look to a full glare
"An act, an act! I'm lying unconscious on the floor, bleeding from my neck and you have the nerve to call it an act!" the clever teen snarled ferociously. Mr. Moseby looked stunned because he expected that type of attitude from Zack but not from timid Cody.
"I saw no blood" Moseby retorted as soon as he recovered from the shock. "Because either your blind or you weren't paying attention" he shot back. "Even so, be here tomorrow or else" he threatened "Or else what?" Cody growled fiercley this caused Zack's eyes to widen in surprise he had never seen Cody this rebellious.
"Codes you might want to cool off a bit" Zack suggested but shut up quickly after receiving a nasty glare from his brother. "For once take your brother's advice and stand down…NOW!" Mr. Moseby commanded with finality but Cody would have none of it.
"Oh so you think that I'm afraid of you, just because you can raise your voice" the teen roared with venom in his tone. Moseby wheeled around and took another look at Cody "I don't know who you are and what you've done with Cody Martin but knock this off immediately or I'll throw you in the brig" he warned seriously.
That threat was met with a loud hiss both Mr. Moseby and Zack's jaws had hit the floor; standing there before them was Cody eyes glowing a bright yellow-green and he was baring a set of very sharp fangs.
"What the…" Mr. Moseby stuttered falling over but Zack regained his senses and tackled his irate brother before he killed the shorter man. "Cody calm down please! This is not you, look at what you're doing" Zack said trying to bring the extremely aggravated boy back to his senses.
Cody looked at Zack for a moment and began to calm down, his eyes returning to their previous state and his fangs retracting. After regaining his composure Cody fell to his knees in exhaustion "I'm sorry about that" he managed to choke out through pants "I don't know what's gotten into me"
"I know what's gotten into you" Mrs. Tutwiler came striding over "Really what" Cody gave her a pleading look "You're tired of being a punching bag and want others to respect you for who you are" she answered simply
Tutwiler pulled Cody to his feet "Cody, may I have a word please" she asked with honest respect in her voice. The slim teen nodded and walked a short distance way; just far enough to be out of earshot of everyone else. Cody stood in front of the teacher "Cody I overheard you say that you don't know how you got on the floor" Cody inclined his head in confirmation "Do you have any idea as to why you're so pale?" she asked knowingly.
Cody shook his head "Well Cody, you know all those romanticized horror stories about vampires" the boy quirked his eyebrow curiously "Well they're true, because apparently there is a pureblood vampire on board" "A pureblood vampire?" Tutwiler nodded "Yes purebloods are born vampires while normal vamps are turned in other words they were once human"
Cody's mind was reeling but he managed to make an interpretation "Are you saying that, I'm a…a…vampire?" he inquired his voice barely more than a whisper. Mrs. Tutwiler nodded "You had all the tell tale signs; increased aggression, glowing eyes and the fangs"
she explained "I had fangs?" instead of answering she pulls out a small mirror and holds it up to Cody showing him his reflection. Cody looked closely and true to what Tutwiler said his canines elongated into fangs and the boy gasped "I am a vampire…it all makes sense, the pale skin the reddish tint in my eyes." Cody stated piecing everything together.
"You should be aware of what regulars are vulnerable to" Cody nodded his head asking her to continue "Be careful with garlic…regulars are deathly allergic to it, obviously sunlight can be dangerous so wear SPF 120 sunscreen and you should be good and the only other thing is beware of holy water, water that has sat on church grounds for more than 20 years."
Cody took all these facts and made a mental note. "Does this mean I need blood to sustain myself" "Not blood per say but the plasma in the blood" Cody was silent so Mrs. Tutwiler went on "You need to feed soon Cody or your mortal body will die"
Cody flinched at that "You mean…I have…to kill someone?" "Not kill them just drink enough to satiate your thirst" Cody nodded and walked back towards the others, he stops for a moment and peers at the crescent moon in the sky and finally understood why it filled him with power.
He sat down the smoothie bar "So what did Mrs. Tutwiler want?" Zack asked as Cody rested his head on the table. "Something I can tell you here, come to my room later and I'll tell you.
[How do you think Zack will feel when Cody tells him what he's just learned and review if you want me to continue]
