Zack's shift ended soon enough and he made his way to Cody's cabin as he told him when he arrived he knocked on the door and called his brother's name "Cody?" The door opened to reveal said twin wearing a white tank top and a pair of flannel pajama pants.

"You told me come by, to find out what Tutwiler wanted" Cody nodded stuck his head out of the door and then pulled Zack into the cabin; when he entered he saw that he was not the only one there Bailey and Woody were also present.

Zack noticed that Cody was situated on his bed while Woody and Bailey occupied the other so he decided to take a seat at Cody's desk which is located across the room. "Okay Cody, what is it you wanted to tell us" asked Bailey looking at Cody with rapt attention.

Cody cleared his throat "As may or may not know I was found on the floor of the main deck unconscious and bleeding"

They all nodded to ask Cody to continue "Unfortunately for me Mr. Moseby found me and started giving me his usual verbal beating, but it only lasted for a few minutes because Zack arrived and stopped"

Cody paused for a moment to search his memories "Oh right, then Zack convinced Mr. Moseby to help carry me to my room since my legs gave out and I passed out for like…" Cody paused again as he tried to remember

"Try like four hours" Zack supplied Cody snapped his fingers at his twin to confess his agreement.

"When I woke up, it was around seven o clock, I get out of bed; still feeling like crap mind you, but I go to the bathroom to splash some water on my face when I looked into the mirror I don't see my typical eyes looking back at me…well I see them but not as I remember them…they have a red tint to them"

as he said that he peered into each of their eyes making them each gasp as they saw the very same tint he described. "But what does it mean Codes?" Zack questioned looking at his brother's eyes closely examining them.

"I'm getting to that Zack" his maverick brother inclined his head again "I walk out of my cabin and can see the moon through the dividing walls and its light seemed to...I don't know…power me up, for lack of a better way to put it"

Bailey frowned trying to assimilate what her boyfriend was telling her. "By power up, you mean it gave you strength?"

Cody only nodded in response "I find Zack and we talk for a few moments then Mr. Moseby came up to me and started his usual banter"

before Cody could go any farther Zack started snickering like a mad man "I know what's coming next, it's the part where you give Moseby a verbal ass kicking"

Bailey and Woody looked at Zack like he had two heads but to both of their surprise Cody smirked and turned a little pink which really visible since his skin was so pale.

"Yeah like I said Moseby had begun his customary banter and I sort of rebelled against him and to quote my brother I gave him a verbal ass kicking but before I could get too out of control Zack tackled me and brought me back to my senses, then Mrs. Tutwiler took me aside and told me that I….was…" Cody paused

"Your were what Codes" Zack said to encourage his witty brother "I was turned into…a…vampire" Cody waited for that line to sink in.

As soon as it did Bailey and Zack gasped but Woody started laughing hysterically, the thought of Cody being a demonic creature of the night was apparently too much.

Zack and Bailey glared pointedly at Woody

"Do you find my predicament amusing…Woody" Cody growled feeling very irritated.

Bailey and Zack both recognized a venomous tone when they heard it.

"…it's hysterical…Cody…you…a blood sucking vampire…" Woody choked out, like earlier Cody bared his fangs and let loose a low yet loud hiss.

Zack and Bailey bellowed in shock but Woody screamed like a little girl, a chubby little girl "Don't kill me" he whined

Cody chuckled "I won't kill you…or drink your blood I need a specimen that is a little healthier"

Bailey was the first to return to her senses "So…it's true you're a vampire?"

Cody nodded in confirmation "Yeah, and don't worry I won't eat any of you" Cody assured them

"So do you have feed…on human blood now" Zack asked truly excited to have vampire brother.

"Well from what Queen Tut said was the not the blood per say but the plasma in the blood"

Bailey nodded in understanding.

"She also said I need to feed soon…or my mortal body will…die" he muttered that last part hesitantly.

"So you need blood" stated Bailey

"Yeah" Cody answered in an apologetic tone.

Bailey heard said tone and shook her head "Why does it sound like your apologizing…Cody even vampires are creatures on this Earth you need to sustain yourself."

Cody nodded and everyone felt the tension in the air die immediately

"So…you guys are okay with this" asked the slim twin uncertain.

"Codes…you're my brother, it doesn't change just because you're a demonic blood sucker" Zack stated with what he hoped was a reassuring tone

but it appears that it worked because a huge smile broke across Cody's face and gave Zack a monster bear hug "Uh…Cody…vampire strength…you're choking me"

Cody lessened his grip "Sorry" he apologized. Zack patted him on the shoulder "Hey don't worry about it also don't worry about hunting tonight"

Cody's eyebrow disappeared into his hairline Zack tugged his shirt to the side to expose the bare flesh of his shoulder

"You can take your first drink from me, but just a drink don't you dare turn me"

Cody's eyes moistened a tad "You'd offer me…your blood?"

Zack nodded warmly, his eyes filled with love and affection.

"Leave me a few pints okay" Cody turned to say something to Bailey but she had left he turned back to his brother approached until he stood in front of him.

Zack tilted his head to the left and plunged his extended fangs into his brother's shoulder, as soon as he did Zack yelped a little and his crimson blood exploded into Cody's mouth and down his throat, he felt it as power raged through his body.

He had composure enough to pull away before he got carried away.

Cody then slid his tongue and smeared a little of his saliva on the wounds and they sealed up, and already started to scab over.

"That was really different" Zack commented faintly

Cody grasped him around the waist and helped him to walk to his own cabin which was across the hall from Cody and Woody's. Cody laid Zack down on his bed and put a band-aid on the two fang wounds.

"Thanks Cody" Zack said before he passed out, Cody smiled and tucked Zack in.
