Ey yo, Welcome back to another chapter of 'My Vampire.' I hope you liked the last chapter, I'm sure I put a bit too much darkness into the new Rudolph but well, it takes a lot out of a human when you're suddenly transfered from a vampire to a human and then back again after a couple of years.

Warning: Contains darkness, smells, shounen-ai!

Disclaimer: I don't own the Little Vampire movie!

Sniffing the air, Rudolph lifted the crate's wooden door like lid and left his coffin. The air was muggy and cold but Rudolph didn't seem to mind it. Dust had collected in the corners of the basement and cobwebs could be seen almost all over the place. Rudolph licked his fangs and smelled the scent of blood in the air. Forgetting what it was like to hold back his hunger for blood, he followed the scent, not forgetting whose house it was and followed the scent towards the kitchen. Hearing the sounds of heels clapping against the floor, he stepped cautiously toward the basement's door and listened carefully.

He heard Tony's parents talking and decided to wait until they were off to work. His ears picked up another sound, very faint. The sound of foot steps coming from the up stairs bedroom that Tony was occupying. Feeling the boy was distressed, Rudolph began to become uneasy. Clearly hearing the sound of Tony's foot steps over and over again made Rudolph hungry.

Rudolph could tell Tony's parents had left and that it was just Tony and himself in the house now. Feeling the uneasiness creeping up on him again, Rudolph left the basement for the day, covering himself up with his jacket so he could shield himself away from the incoming sun shine. Tony had just finished closing the curtains when Rudolph whipped his bedroom door open without hesitation.

"You could at least knock, Rudolph." Tony yold the vampire as he began to change out of his old shirt and went to get a new one.

Rudolph couldn't help but stare at the bare flesh that stood before him. His onyx coloured eyes stayed fix on the bare and creamy looking shoulders. His arched back was perfect as a woman's as though he were posing for an artist's pleasure. The atmosphere was pure and innocent and the chance was all too helpful. The parents were gone, and a bag of flesh was just begging to him, calling out...like bait.

Tony felt his friend's staring and forgot he was a blood sucker. He remembered the farmer that used to have vampire cows had now gotten himself five new ones since the old ones had supposedly ran away on him. It was a good oppertunity to spend a day with just his old friend like old times. Although it was bright outside and him and Rudolph weren't exactly little kids anymore, Tony still felt the desire to help his friend out. Like last time, Rudolph would need a cow to feed on but how he was going to get the vampire outside without letting the sun damage his skin was an even bigger problem. Since his parents had trusted him to be alone and take care of himself more, he wouldn't need their permission with a few things.

"How strong are you, Rudolph?" The vampire looked at Tony, taken aback at what was being asked.

"That depends on what would need lifting." The vampire, so calm, collected, with his black, long hair and black and red eyes. To Tony it seemed like only yesterday they were flying through the night air.

Tony found himself staring at the other boy's clothes and he turned his attention to the window that was covered with extra sheets. Remembering back to how he got Rudolph to the farmer's barn, he thought of how well he needed to cover him. Being a young vampire was, so Tony had witnessed, seemed harmless enough, but after growing a few inches and years and suddenly reverted back to being a vampire, the sun was sure to do more damage now than it did back when they were kids.

Pulling a few sheets out of the closet from the hallway, Tony went to the basment with Rudolph trailing behind him like a dark shadow. He shielded his eyes from the sun that shone through the kitchen windows and quickly followed Tony down the stairs to his new domain. As dusty and cobweb collected as it was, Tony was surprised to have found the old red wagon that he had used to pull Rudolph around in when the boy couldn't fly that time. But with the help of the wagon and a few pounds of extra bed sheets, Rudolph would be able to be protected from the sun's killer rays.

"I still remember the day I drank from the cow. Wasn't a big meal as I thought it would be. I'm just glad I got to see you again." Tony snapped his fingers like he did when he was a kid and pointed to the red wagon that had been covered with dust.

"I got it." Rudolph slightly bowed as though he were a servant and lifted the wagon from the dusty area.

The red paint that would have shone brightly against the sun's glare, had now been chipping away along with the white lettering that was painted on top of it. Rudolph let the red wagon down on the dusty floor carefully and took a good look at it. Standing beside him to look at the wagon carfeully as well, Tony smiled down at it.

"I just hope you're strong like you were when you were younger. I still wonder why you risked yourself for a vampire. I could have killed you after eating from the cow. I could have tricked you and you wouldn't have known it." Rudolph wasn't sure where that question came from and waited patiently for Tony's answer.

"Rudolph, I knew you weren't in the mood for eating me. You didn't have the strength left, let alone flying. Help me get this upstairs." Tony lifted one end of the wagon up while Rudolph lifted the other end.

Having been working out in the gym at his school, Tony could feel his muscles tightening as he eased up the stairs backwards. Rudolph noticed that Tony was about to go walking into a shelf that had been placed on the wall, but before he could warn him, Tony's back hit the wall and Rudolph had to place the wagon down before it could jab him in the stomach. He quickly shielded Tony's body from getting hit with the fallen objects that had been placed on the shelf and were now falling from it. Rudolph could hear Tony's blood being flown into his heart, the heart that was now beating at a very fast rate.

"Feeling embarrassed?" Rudolph flashed his fangs down at Tony and looked at his grown up friend.

"You seem to act a little harsher than I remember you. You sound more like a prick and I...am starting to sound like a girl." Tony took the dark sheets he had in his hands and draped them over Rudolph's body, making sure he was fully covered.

"You're right about the girl part. Actually you sound a little like Anna, but I couldn't have changed that much." Rudolph explained as he sat himself comfortably in the same red wagon that he had taken a ride in a few years back when he had been feeling too ill to walk or fly.

Resting his long legs over the wagon's edge and letting his arms fold at the back of his head under the black sheets. Tony grabbed onto the black handle that had been resting against the wagon's front end and pulled the red wagon out of the kitchen, and opened the door to the outside world where the sun awaited Tony and Rudolph's arrival. To Tony's surprise the sun began to get covered with clouds even though the weather network had told anyone who was watching that it would be clear and sunny all day. It was apparently wrong in many ways and had now been pouring buckets of water on to Tony.

Since they had arrived at the barn before it could rain on Rudolph, the young vampire was nice and dry and was happily feeding on one of the new cows that the farmer had previously gotten after seeing his other cows had disappeared on him. It was the same as the past. Tony began to remember all that had happened from meeting Rudolph to meeting the parents to going on to meet the entire family of vampires. He looked back at Rudolph who was still feeding and wondered how could his wish have failed the first time around and would there ever be a second time?

"If you're wondering about why I'm a vampire, Gregory told me already that it was your fault. I have no problems with it, since it's you and not some vampire hunter." Rudolph quickly told him as he wiped the blood from his mouth with his sleeve and sat in the corner where it was the darkest.

"So Gregory must have told you about my dream then." Tony sat next to Rudolph and let his back fall against the wooden walls.

"Didn't know what to think of at first but to hear you dreamt about me, that's a fun fact to know about!" Rudolph exclaimed and laughed about it.

"It's not funny. It was strange and scary and I didn't like the dream at all. There has to be something fishy going on." Rudolph let his eyes close and listened to the sound of the pouring rain outside.

"Gregory thinks some part of you wants to be a vampire. If you don't want to be one...well you're probably wasting my time. I didn't really get a chance for making friends or the chance to grab myself a girlfriend. Then when I woke up, I was a vampire again. It was kind of weird though, I didn't feel like I was dead at all.

Father was furious when he woke up to the blazing sun shining on him that morning. He almost fried himself and mother too. I guess I'll never know what a real human gets to experience."

Tony wasn't sure how to respond and began to feel even more guilty then he had before Rudolph had arrived. Fate was sometimes cruel and at other times, it was a perfect thing to happen for someone.

"I'll share the agony of not being human with you then. You would want someone to share it with besides your family, right?" Rudolph opened his eyes and stared at Tony for the longest time.

"You say the weirdest things, Tony Thompson." Rudolph laughed to himself while Tony himself looked out the small barn's doors.

"You said so yourself. We're brothers, aren't we?" Feeling he was getting Tony confused, Rudolph dropped the strange conversation and tilted his head back, letting his bangs cover his eyes.

The rain outside had refused to let up and there was the sound of thunder in the air. Tony curled up in a fetal position to keep himself warm from the cold wind that was blowing through the small barn. A baby rabbit appeared from the barn's small haystack that was placed beside the cows. It's brown, fur coat kept the small animal warm as it cleaned its face of the bits of straw that was stuck to its fur.

Rudolph noticed that Tony was watching the animal and quietly went up to the rabbit. The baby animal stopped its actions and watched the tall figure bending over to pick it up. Anxious to get away from incoming danger, the baby rabbit headed for the door but Rudolph's quick hands made sure that it wouldn't get away so easily. He sat back down and handed Tony the rabbit.

"It's only frightened. Once he calms down, he'll let you pet him." Tony knew that Rudolph was the real Rudolph. This person was definitely his real friend. He had been doubting the young vampire ever since he showed up the previous night and was now regretting it.

Tony brushed what little hairs the rabbit had with his fingers and felt the smooth, soft texture that was attached to its body. The baby rabbit laid still in Tony's arms and twitched its ears at different times at the touch of Tony's fingers stroking its back. Tony smiled and continued to pet the rabbit until he made it comfortable enough to sleep. Rudolph watched the scene while the thunder and lightning flashed and boomed outside their small shelter. It wasn't soon when they heard the soft muttering of a man coming closer and closer to the small barn. Tony began to panick as he had forgotten how much time had passed and he had forgotten about the farmer's new schedule of the times he would go into the barn and leave.

In a rush to hide from the man, both Tony and Rudolph bolted for the small but reliable hay stack that was lying next to the cows. The rabbit that Tony had been holding in his hands had dashed away from them and was now standing in front of the barn door where the farmer had made his entrance. He was still the same after the past few years except for the small beard he was now growing from his face. He looked more tired and worn down, having a hard time keeping up with his small farm. Still thin and carrying not much that for muscles, he still carried out his farming duties as best as he could. He headed for the bucket that had been sitting in the corner all alone beneath a few saddles that looked to have been there for a while now. The farmer picked up the bucket and headed for the usual spot to milk the cows. Under the loose strands of straw, Tony and Rudolph had to keep quiet or else they would be caught trespassing on his property.

"Your heart's racing again, Tony." Tony couldn't believe that Rudolph had to keep pointing out that his heart was racing. Of course it would be if you were hiding out it someone's hay stack without permission.

Tony shut his eyes after feeling something going across his stomach. It was pointy, and moving very slowly like a snake would when going across the grass. Rudolph didn't know what he was doing either. It was as though his body was talking to him and without being able to control his senses, he was on top of Tony, trailing his fingers over the other teen's abdomen.

A/n: That's all I have for now but in the next chappie, Tony will see how much Rudolph means to him. GASP! I gave it away! T^T
