The idea from this story was thought up by a friend and I. we started it out as a role play but then decided it should be made into a fan fic and i have continued to expand some of it. i have many more ideas written down and overall the storyline is pretty good.
Disclaimer: its not mine but i wish it was!
Please tell me what you think!
Tyler squinted as the curtains of his dorm room were pulled back and the sun shone down on him in all its glory.
"Reid man, your such an ass!" was shouted angrily as he grabbed a pillow to cover his head. What time was it, 6, 7? Whatever it was he wasn't budging. He felt like crap not to mention the overwhelming hangover he had gained due to his boredom drinking.
Reid opened the rest of the curtains to allow the light fall on his hung-over friend. By the boy looked rough, Reid thought. Tyler's hair was scuffed and appeared to lie as if it had its own life-force, his eyes carried huge black rings underneath and his skin was pale...almost sickly looking.
"Dude! I think you enjoyed yourself wayyy to much last night. And where'd you go? You wandered off as soon as I turned my back!…Jeez you cant keep your eyes off babies for one second! Man I'm not gonna be a father." Reid walked over to Tyler's bedside and sat down. "I err saw your shirt over there…has lipstick on it…did you pull baby boy???" Reid smiled like a hungry child, as if about to be fed their favourite candy. Then his face darkened. "I also saw blood on your shirt. Can you remember what happened?"
"Mmmfgg" mumbled Tyler before lifting the pillow to look up to his friend through the gap. "I can't really remember…there was a girl…no, wait!...a woman" He said, trying to remember the person he had left the bar with. Even with the haze the drink had caused he could still remember her being very attractive but possibly a little too old to attend their school.
"she asked me back to her place…I dunno its still all fuzzy…can I go back to sleep now?" he grunted before hiding himself under the pillow.
Reid was overcome by laughter
"Holy crap. DUDE! BABY BOY PULLED…BABY BOY PULLED, BABY BOY PULLED!!!!" Reid shouted and danced around the room. "so yeah, what else happened? Or were you a little too intoxicated to remember? But DUDE! She asked you back to her place? I mean that's like…..ONE BIG HICKEY!"
Tyler's immediate response was a simple throwing of a pillow, which hit Reid square in the face. It wasn't the aim at which he was surprised at, but the force that it hit his friend with, which had caused him to stagger. "sorry" he added quickly. He didn't want to pick a fight right now, not only was Reid his best friend but Tyler was really not in a fit state to do so. Getting shakily to his feet, he went to examine the 'big hick'. It felt quite sore now that he thought about it. "what the hell?...I mean I know some people like to bite but that's…that's not right!"
"Looks like that chick had fangs man, FANGS! Maybe she had some sort of fetish with vampire's, you know the ones that have their teeth filed down or get false teeth??? But then again..." Reid inspected the bite mark on his friend's neck "it does look pretty real, like she knew what she was doing…man you look like shit...no, wait! Death's a better description" Reid looked thoughtful for a second. "I'm not gonna drink ridiculous amounts again…hell no if that's what's gonna happen...I mean I like kinky girls but…" he snorted "...not to the extreme". Reid then jumped on his bed and lay on his side facing Tyler, propping himself up with one arm. "hey look man, were all heading down to Nicky's tonight, just for a game of pool, you wanna come?"
Tyler nodded. "yeah, yeah ok, but I can't promise ill be my at my best. I think I still feel slightly intoxicated." They both chuckled. "first though, I need sleep, otherwise I might just snooze at the table"
Despite last nights escapades, Tyler found himself back at Nicky's. he still looked worn, abnormally pale and not to mention he was starving. His hand gripped the pool cue but his head wasn't in the game, which he realised when Reid shouted to him. "huh…what?" he asked before realising that it was his shot. Leaning weakly over the table he took it, but cringed as the clanking of the balls diving into the pockets were louder than usual.
"shit why is everything so loud in here?!" the obvious answer was because they were in a bar, but everything was exceptionally loud, Tyler could hear the scraping of chairs, the sound of footsteps and people's heartbeats? 'ah crap' he thought.
Reid looked over at Tyler, he was unusually twitchy but appeared to be on another planet. "baby boy are you alright?" he asked. He knew the answer was no, but he had to get Tyler to tell him what was bothering him so much. Despite his sometimes childish behaviour, Reid still cared for his friend who now looked like he might be lost to death. He could see that something was horribly wrong with his friend, he just wasn't sure. "hey dude, come on lets go out where its quiet. Reid then walked over to Tyler and led him out in the cool peaceful night air.
Tyler willingly followed his friend outside, the cool air and quietness bringing a welcome change in atmosphere than that in the bar, which made him quite claustrophobic.
"you think something's wrong don't you? You usually insult me and tell me to buck up…but your being nice" the young boy stated with a shrug. They had been best friends since they were kids and when Reid became concerned, Tyler knew there was definitely something wrong. "look I'm fine, I just don't feel so good…maybe I should just head back. Caleb and Pogue are in there so you wont be on your own"
Reid's concern for his friend grew twice more. Now it seemed he was dead, had he not been moving about and had he not been breathing. His skin had grown ever paler...and his eyes...his eyes were blue to begin with but they had become brighter than ever before.
"dude they'll be fine, look I'll go tell them I'm taking you back to the dorm ok, your not well enough to go on your own".
Reid sat Tyler down on the gravel path and went to look for Pogue and Caleb. Just as he was about to walk back up to the bar doors, the two other friends stepped out. He was about to speak when a dark figure landed straight between him and them. Stopping abruptly, Reid took a step back. What he saw in front of him was a very attractive young woman, who appeared to be in her late 20's at most. Her long dark wavy hair cascaded down her shoulders almost reaching her hips on which her hands rested. She wore what looked like a leather corset patterned with ancient drawings. Her pants were tight leather also and she wore knee high leather boots. Looking back up at her face, Reid could see that she had a strong appearance, her nose slender and skin firm and as pale as Tyler's. But the most striking thing about her was her eyes. They were bright blue. As blue as Tyler's were becoming. "um..." said Reid quietly. "...have we met?" not sure if how he was starting the conversation the right thing to do.
Tyler spun around quickly as he heard something land behind him. As his eyes fell upon the young woman, they widened before he looked at his friend who seemed incapable of forming a sentence that wasn't made up from his many chat-up lines. "it's her…" he stated before realising that he was being rude. "it's you!" being further stated before he felt stupid saying it. She was dressed differently to the night before and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at her attire.
Elena looked from the blonde boy's face to her new interest. He was turning, she could feel it...long before she saw his dying body. And he still looked as beautiful as ever, the strength and potential his blood held was enormous and smiling, she knew she had made the right decision.
"Tyler, how nice to see you again, your looking perfect tonight my child, soon you will be free." Looking at the blonde boy in front of her, she smirked seductively, then turned to look at Caleb and Pogue. Looking once more at Tyler she said "your friends are rather delicious, they too are strong, I can feel their blood. You might not possess the physical strength they do but your blood is stronger, and far more powerful. I can teach you to unleash that power...and perhaps your friends will join us in time".
"Hey look lady, you better not be thinking about taking baby boy!" he was stopped abruptly by the Beautiful woman as she hissed at him, showing a perfect set of teeth apart from the canines…they were long and pointed. "DUDES! THAT CHICKS GOT FANGS MAN! So YOU! Bit baby boy! I mean really come on there was no need…."
Reid was hit with a force so hard that it sent him flying across the gravel driveway, Rendering him unconscious. "there was every need!" replied Elena after she hit the blonde boy. Using some sort of unseen force she lifted Tyler into the air towards her until she was holding him in his arms.
"Reid!" cried Caleb as he landed heavily on the gravel driveway, and appeared to be not moving. His shocked expression lasted only a second as he frowned in anger, turning his eyes pitch black. "who are you and what do you want?" he growled at the leather-clad woman. He knew that part of what she wanted was Tyler and he could see why. Their friend was beginning to look just like her, from the pale skin to the bright blue eyes.
"your not taking Tyler" Pogue added as he went to pry his friend away from the lady with fangs. His green eyes widened at them when she hissed. "shit" falling from his lips in response before he followed his leaders cue and powered up.
Elena looked calmly at the third friend. he was an angry creature she thought to herself. One she would gladly kill if she had to. "if you want to know who I am then please, step away from what was once yours and is now mine" gesturing towards Tyler. "my name is Elena, I am descendant of The Bat, or in more common terms, 'vampire'. And young Tyler here is my new born child" she smiled again to show her perfect white teeth and sharp canines. "fitting don't you think? As you all call him 'baby boy' she threw out a wicked laughter, which stirred Reid slightly.
'what was once yours' echoed through Caleb's mind and only made his anger burn brighter. Tyler was still one of them, part of the Covenant, part of an old power passed on from generation to generation and nothing would change that.
"let him go. He didn't ask for this" the eldest Ipswich boy said calmly.
It was strange, yet as the woman held him, Tyler wasn't scared. It felt more familiar than anything. He didn't know whether it was due to the fact that he was changing into the same being as Elena or rather dying, but he wasn't in a hurry to leave her. His eyes were brighter now and his skin completely drained of colour. It almost hurt at moments but he was to far gone to care.
"Caleb, leave it" he found himself saying before he knew where he was.
Elena looked down at Tyler, than back at the one called Caleb. "you see, he wants this to happen, otherwise he would find his inner strength and fight me…not that he would win".
Reid sat up once more and looked at Tyler…his eyes had now closed and it appeared to him that he wasn't breathing. Had he passed over and turned? Thought Reid. The thought of his friend dying brought tears to his eyes. He tried to fight them back but he couldn't.
"Tyler?" he called "Tyler! TYLER! NO PLEASE DON'T SAY HE HAS PLEASE!!!" tears freely fell down the once tough guys face. This wasn't happening he thought.
Elena revelled in the emotion she was causing. And was glad she was rid of the soppy emotion that was sadness. She looked down at Tyler and smiled deeply.
"It's time to leave now, my love. When your ready I will allow you to see your friends again" and with that she jumped so forcefully it shocked the other boys. Landing on the rooftop of Nicky's, she looked back quickly and then took another great leap, disappearing from view.
