I have always loved Stay Alive and now i have the time to write my own fan fiction :)

Summary:

Swink made his way up the steps to Holly's apartment where he stopped at the door to knock. That's when he heard it. "Offering beauty, eternal …I pray you."

"Holly no!"

Chapter 1

Swink

"No, no, no." Swink said to his phone." I ordered 3 twelve inch plasmas." He sighed and hung up the phone." Idiot!" he hissed as he sat at the bar of October and Phineas' gaming café.

"What's wrong?" Hutch asked, walking up from behind the counter and giving him a Monster. Ever since October and Phin died, Hutch and Abby have been running it.

"Mindless idiots that can't count above 1." Swink answered." You ask for a simple order and all I get is "oh I'm sorry I couldn't freaking count that high." he sighed

'Whoa." Abigail said walking up next to Hutch." Slow down, take a drink, take a breath, and just relax. I'm sure Holly can figure something out. You know how connected she is.

"Speak of the devil." Hutch said gesturing to a red haired woman walking in.

"Yea she's here to go shopping with me." Abby explained.

Swink loved Holly's bright blue eyes, her fiery red curls, and her snake bite piercings that made her mouth all the more appealing. She was sexy yet incredibly adorable.

"Can Abby come out and play?" Holly asked

"Oh hey, I've got a surprise for you. "He said as she sat down.

"Really now?" She asked. "Well I have a surprise for you."

He always loved her British accent. "Oh really?" He smiled as she leaned over to kiss him. "Do I get a hint?"

"Nope."

"aww." He pouted.

"I will say that it will take up a lot of time." She teased.

"Man, now I want to know."

"Nope, not until your birthday tomorrow." she said. "Now I've got to hurry, lots of girl talk needs to be spoken between Abby and I."

He watched as her fiery curls bounced behind her as she walked with Abigail.

"We are lucky men, Hutch."

"Yes we are." The taller man agreed.

Holly

"So what did you get for Swink that's so hush-hush?" Abigail asked her as she picked through the clothes line.

"It's a secret." Holly replied." But I'm sure he'll love it."

She looked at Abigail who had gone silent and found she was giving her the puppy dog eyes.

"Alright, alright. I got him that new game system he's been raving about and a game but I won't say the name." she caved alittle.

"He'll love you forever!" Abigail squealed.

"Yeah I know." Holly smiled." What about you and Hutch?"

"Great. Well actually, ever since October and Phineas died. I never really knew them as well as Hutch did, but it's been hard on all of us."

"Yea Swink won't tell me anything about how that happened, so I didn't ask again." Holly told her.

"Yea we promised not to say anything about it again. For Swink and Hutch's sake."

"I just wish he'd at least tell me something, I mean sometimes when he's playing a game I'll catch him just staring at the controller with this look of terror."

"Well, when he's ready, maybe he will say something. But, ya know it hasn't been long since..."Abigail trailed off.

"Yes i know." Holly replied picking out a shirt. "Here try this one."

Swink

Swink smiled as he stared down at the small box that he snapped shut with one hand. It's been about a year since two of his friends had died and ever since he met Holly on an online gaming tournament he's tried and tried to keep the horrific knowledge from her. About the game he didn't like to talk about. Hutch suggested therapy, but all three of them had come to the decision that it wouldn't help. No one would ever believe that saying the prayer of an 16th century blood countess would bring her back to kill them one by one until they finally defeated her.

He could see himself now, just sitting in one of those chairs being scrutinized by some professional that will just keep him paranoid to keep getting money from him "ya see sir, we played a video game and we said some words that brought back an evil chick that wanted to kill us all, but its okay we stopped her. Oh and I still can't stop myself from freaking out when my controller vibrates"

yea, nothing crazy there.

"so that's the big suprize?" Hutch asked looking over swinks shoulder. "when are you going to give it to her?"

"Tomarrow." Swink answered." wow I haven't felt this nervous to talk to a girl since junior prom."

Hutch laughed and patted him on the back." no worries my friend she'll love it."

"But what if she says no?" Swink asked.

"trust me, she'll say yes."

"thanks Hutch."

"no problem dude." Hutch replied.
