three weeks later...

Dick stared blankly up at the sky, air thick with tension as he waited for Wally's input of the situation, He told Wally a few months back that he was a Vamp, Unlike Zatanna who accused him of blood hypnotism and brainwashing her into dating him so he could drink her blood. then threw holy water and garlic powder in his face, it was at a pizza parlor, and for some reason she was keeping a flask of holy-water on her, That was the final nail in their relationship's coffin. Dick broke up with Zatanna on the spot.

And went to vent to Wally The speedster was pretty chilled about it and took it rather well when he heard the news.

"Ha! knew it!" was his exact words, Dick knew he was someone he could confide in about this whole situation. The ginger rubbed his chin and was processing the whole story. "So, Ash knew, This whole time?" he said repeating what Dick had told him.

(Sunlight,garlic,crosses, Blood magic and holy water only work in the movies. in this universe you can kill a vampire like a normal human albeit after you've weakened them enough via extreme blood loss or overuse of their powers. As for Sunlight though it does irritate their eyes and skin the most damage it'll do is a sunburn.)

the raven haired boy nodded for the umpteenth time, "Now was it really the whole time or did she just recently learn about it..." the vampire didn't answer his eye twitched pretty much confirmed Wally's suspicions, "You left without letting her explain her side of the story, didn't you?" He saw Nightwings jaw set the speedster had him there, Dick was just so angry, betrayed and jealous at the time, that he hadn't thought about asking how exactly Ashlynn knew about the marriage pact he just got up and ran. "I..Think she felt like she was trapping you." that got Dick's attention he looked over at his friend and nodded at him to continue.

"Well, think about it we're all still young we have our whole lives ahead of us and that means, a leaving few hearts to break along the way before we're ready to settle down with just one person, And I think Ashlynn may have felt like she was robbing you of that, stealing your happy ending, I mean this pact is forever bro! And She, like all humans do, don't have forever; we get old, we rot..You? You'll look like you've only aged few years while Ashlynn will be old and gray, what will you do then?"

"I...could change her, Bat-girl would be willing to infect her..."

"But would Ashlynn want that?"

"I...Don't know."

Wally patted him on the shoulder as Dick felt guilt slowly rear it's ugly head after how he's avoided and treated Ashlynn for the last year he was unsure if she ever agree to change for him, let alone try and make this whole pact work, he wants to be with her, and not just because the pact talking, he's wanted this since he was ten! But doubts were eating away at him, this was big decision for him...both of them it was something he couldn't decide on his own. Dick got up from the grass and walked to his bike.

the next day.

Dick was standing outside Ashlynn's house she got discharged from the hospital hours ago... he stood outside her door unsure of what to say to her once she opens the door, *an Apology for nearly breaking her wrist would be a nice...* his inner voice snapped as he knocked there was a click and he saw Ashlynn who immediately tried to close the door but Dick caught the door and helped himself in, and froze when he saw his stuff was missing.

"Wha- Where's my chair?!, My street sign, My Night of the blob zombies poster?!" He looked around bewildered a lot of stuff had been shuffled or moved the blue eyed vamp looked at Ashlynn owlishly, who kept her distance from him, "In the attic with your computer..." She hissed Dick sucked his teeth when she said that. "Oh, f-found out about that did you?" He laughed nervously then realized what she said, Why would his stuff be in the attic? he noticed the self-help book on her counter.

(Breaking up and how to coup for dummies.)

Dick let an unamused snort they weren't even dating and even if they were... as if he let Ashlynn go that easily, While Ashlynn kept herself pressed against the door eyeing him warily it was then he noticed how off she was...like she was scared of him "I'm not here to yell Ash I just want to talk..." The taupe haired girl recoiled away from him, when he tried to reach out to touch her. Dick lowered his hand ignoring the pain in his chest the thought of Ashlynn being afraid of him.

"I just want to talk about our pact." the green eyed girl flinched when he said that. "Two years." she croaked out Dick brow furrowed her mouth felt dry.

"That's how long I knew." She kept her eyes on the floor waited for him to yell, to storm out, something..."So you did just find out?...Who told you about it." The vamp asked curiously she looked up at him unsure, he got antsy whenever she went near another vampires. "My neighbor the cat lady, she's a vamp, I'd go to her for advice about you...she told me after I told her about how you make my body itch."

Dick cocked a brow he makes her feel itchy? he would have thought the pact would make Ashlynn feel warm and fuzzy or something. "Why didn't you say anything to me before, and why have you've been talking to other guys" he frowned waiting but, he already what it was..the way she was fiddling with her T-shirt and shuffled uncomfortably.

"I was scared, We've been friends for years and I though you'd never see me like that, so I just pretended not to care and let you live your life and have fun, That way you'd stay my best friend and not the boy I fell in love with. If that would make you happy then I was happy."

"Uh-huh...And What about those men you been seeing all those dates you went on? were they attempts to trying make me happy too? c'os that failed miserably."

"figures you'd find out about those, that was my attempt to try and move on from you, I mean you haven't visited me in over a year, and this week was going to be the last week I delivered blood to you. I was push myself to keep a distance and try to find someone who wasn't you..and look where it got me...The whole reason I ended up in that bar, was because Mandy snatched my phone and saw my dating profile...She thought I was desperate."

"Just tell me why you didn't tell me about the pact? c'os it would have been worst if I found out years from now and you were already dea...And you were already gone."

"I just...I didn't want you to be trapped in a forced relationship, I didn't want you to be forced to love me because of of a pact, I mean we're still young Dick and this pact is taking away any chances of you have at being happy with someone you actually love."

The vampire felt like he got slapped in the face when she said this, Wally was right...Wally was freaking right! Dick felt warmth bloom in his chest he felt like he just won the lottery,Y/n took breath waiting for the 'Your right and you are ruining everything!'...Instead Dick burst out laughing, green eyed girl felt her face heat up as angry tears prickled her eyes.

"It's not funny!" She snapped as the raven haired man took a few breaths then snorted at how red her face was."You really scared me there, I had this whole thing planned out, about how I was going to seduce and win you back from some jerk." He snickered then reached out and wiped a tear off Ashlynn's cheek she didn't flinch away this time.

" I could never be forced into loving you Ash, I've always loved you, not because of the pact, not because of your blood. but because you're Ashlynn... my Ashlynn" The taupe haired girl looked bewildered and confused then he said this, stopped Dick when he tried to kiss her. "We can't do this, I'm human Dick! I'll die some day and you'll be alone and..and" She cut off by him hugging her "We'll figure it out...we're still young." He assured Ashlynn who wrapped her shaking arms around him. and he kissed the top of her head "Do want me to heal your wist?" he offered spying the bandages as he pulled away from her, the h/c hesitantly brought her arm up to him.

Dick frowned as he unraveled the bandages from her arm an angry bruise decorated her skin, the vampire felt sick and disgusted towards himself that he'd let himself lose control like that, "The cut I can heal, the bruise..."he placed tiny kisses along the tender flesh before using his fangs to cut the stitches.

Ashlynn hissed in pain as the wound opened up, her toes curled feeling from the feeling and resisted the urge to giggle as Dick run and swirl his tongue run along the cut, lapping and sucking up the blood, his saliva numbed the pain and was slowly healing up her wrist, Dick hummed contently its been a while since's he's had Ashlynn's blood fresh from the source he noticed it tasted richer then usual.

"Are you enjoying this?~" He purred giving her wrist one last swipe and smirked eyeing the green eyed girl up her face looked like a cherry. "want me to do your hip next?~" He suggested thumb lightly rubbing along her uninjured side, the taupe haired girl swallowed taking a breath. "First tell me how you got that computer into my attic and I'll think about it." She huffed Dick's brows shot up to his hairline.

"Oh...Yeah, that's a little pet project... *ahem* how did you find it?" He rubbed the back of his head as Y/n drag him to the attic while she recounted how the book told her get rid of his things, but knowing how expensive and crucial some of it was,

she decided that storing his stuff away was the better option, and her attic just seemed a little too normal to be convincing. "So I got a can of air freshener..." She cut of by him "Wait, Wait wait...You managed to detect and disable my military grade motion system with air freshener?" Now Dick was more curious about how she managed to hack through his security with a can of air freshener and an outdated sequencer...

A few months later..

Ashlynn learned from Alfred a while back that touch was very essential to vampire culture be it in friendly or romantic, pure-bloods like Dick have scent glands along their body that release pheromones that are unique to that Vamp alone, and the scent can be affected by the kind of relationship the person has with that Vamp.

Like Wally for instance, he and Dick are friends, the scent is mild and subtle and tells other vampires I'm friends with this guy he's okay, but I will hurt you if you hurt him!

Now, Ashlynn who is Dick's mate the scent is musky and robust it tells others back off she's mine! I will maim you if you try to take her from me, in short it acts like a repellent to other Vampires.

So, yeah vampires were basically giant cats...

That would explain why Dick was having a rough time keeping his hands to himself, he says it's to make up for all the lost time he missed while away from Ashlynn. Not that she was complaining though he could ease up on the love bites, her Co-workers are staring to get worried... And if he wasn't kissing her he was hugging and holding hands with her.

Currently the two had just gotten back from a date and things were getting pretty heated, Dick had Y/n pressed up against living room hall, She was missing her shirt her bra unhooked and falling off, Dick was like an animal his hands were roaming and touching every piece of exposed flesh he could reach, while his mouth would rotate from kissing her like a hungry dog to biting and leaving hickies along her neck.

Ashlynn gasped feeling his fingers brush up against her clothed core. She opened out her eyes while was Dick was preoccupied with his belt and the taupe haired girl felt her heart speed up when she saw a figure in the room.

The lights turned on She screamed causing Dick to quickly push her behind him and lunge at whoever broke into the house. his eyes widened when he saw yellow and red suit and realized who it was. "WALLY!? what the hell?" he snarled at the speedster who smiled up at him sheepishly.

"You weren't answering your comm. The teams been calling you."

"And your first thought was to just walk in?! Didn't you ever learn to knock?"

"Hey, How was I suppose to now you were busy...by the way Ash nice rac-arg"

"GeT OuT..."

Dick hissed getting the speedster in a head lock and dragged Wally outside as Y/n turned bright red and ran up to her room to get a shirt on,When she got back she found Wally, A mystery boy and Dick in his Nightwing gear as the speedster briefed him on the situation...They both stop talking as saw Ashlynn awkwardly standing there, in a flash the mystery boy at her hug the confused h/c around her waist.

"Auntie Ash!" He greeted excitedly "Um..Hi?" she looked at Wally curiously "Hey, Wal? how come you've never mentioned you had a little brother?" Nightwing snorted at that while Wally looked embarrassed and pulled the boy off her. "Stop that." he hissed at the boy "And he's not my brother, his name is Impulse he's my cousin from the future." Ashlynn's brain seem to stop working there for second...

"I'm sorry, I must of blanked out there, did you say he's from the future?" she said pointing at the kid who was zipping around her house looking through things, "Yeah, long story, I'll fill you in on it later." Wally said rubbing his head both her and Dick winced when they heard something break.

"Whoops! I hope vase wasn't expensive!" Impulse said sheepishly both Ashlynn and Dick look confused Vase? They never bought a vase... the only thing remotely vase shaped in the house was-"Oh no..." Dick said eyes widening in realization, while Aslynn blanched and threw her hand over her head.

"My grandpa's urn!" she ran into her grandfather's office panicking while Wally looked at the clock and grabbed Impulse. "Oh gee, look at the time..Meet you at the rendezvous Nightwing Bye!." He yelled and before the raven haired could stop them the speedsters were gone...Oh, he was gonna get them for that. "Dick Get a broom and something hold his ashes! he's slipping through the floor!"

Cut to Name holding a yellow Cookie jar shaped like a beehive with Cookie crossed out and the Name Earl painted on it, Saying goodbye to Dick as he heads out to his next mission. "You and the team be careful out there Dick, The last thing I want is is you coming back to me in cookie jar." She said kissing him the vampire chuckled into the kiss before pulling away. "I promise...but If that does end up the case, make sure it's Disney jar." He joked earn a slap on the butt from Ashlynn, he yelped before being Z-tubed away.

(sometime later.)

It had been a few days since then Ashlynn hadn't heard from Dick or any of the team and she was getting scared, The taupe haired girl was getting ready for bed when he heard a creak from downstairs. She looked at the clock 10:45 (22:45) her eyes narrowed and she was too tired to notice the itch on her skin, Ashlynn grabbed her escrima stick and cautiously made her way downstairs.

(Silence is key...know where the weak points in the floor are...and stay close to the shadows.) Dick's voice echoed in her head, She shimmed passed a creaky spot and tip-toed down the stairs and stuck to the walls and peeked around the corner and saw the silhouette of a man standing in her living room.

taking a deep breath Ashlynn moved fast towards the intruder, only to get quickly disarmed and flipped on to her back by the intruder revealed to be Dick Grayson. "Ow...Dick, Why didn't you tell me you were home?" She rubbing her head He didn't say anything just pulled her into a hug, and she noticed he was soaking wet "Dick?" Her brows furrowed as she felt tears soaking her shirt and sharp breaths he was taking.

"He's gone Ash.." Ashlynn felt her heart stop when he said this someone was killed. "Who Dick, who's gone?" Dick took a shaky breath sat them both up. "Wally...He tried to help Flash." Ashlynn stopped hearing him for moment, Wallys dead?...but, but she just saw him a few days ago! he can't be gone! he just can't! "But he...was it was only three days.."Ashlynn voice broke and like that dam broke Dick pulled her into tight hug and crying into her shoulder.

They stayed in tense silence holding each other mourning Wally, Dick had shifted her into his lap and kept his arm around Ashlynns waist, said girl was starting to feel cold from Dick's wet clothes she shivered and pulled away from him only for the raven haired boy to hold her tighter, "Dick let's get you dried off an-" She was cut off by Dick kissing her, not hollow and aggressive like last time. this was raw and full of emotion, she kissed him back they broke away.

"Dick, What are you-" Ashlynn tried to say he kissed her again she felt his fangs nip her lip. "Just let me feel something ..." he breathed resting his head on her shoulder, "I don't want to feel alone right now..." the Green eyed contemplated it for what seemed like hours. Dick took her silence as rejection she had every right to, and was about to pull away only for the taupe girl to suddenly pull him close and leave small kisses along his neck, he tensed up as she brought her lips to his ear "Go for it."

Dick let out a breath he'd been holding and pulled Ashlynn into a deep kiss, he slowly pushed the H/c onto her back without pulling away, his knee rested between her legs, He pulled away to looked down at her his forearm rested above her head other resting on her leg, The taupe haired girl looked up at him green eyes half lidded face flushed. Dick eyes darkened, He captured her lips into a hungry kiss her tongue got caught on one of his fangs, Dick purred into the kiss his tongue lapped and mingled hers savoring the taste of her blood.

[ a few feral blood lust passion filled hours later..]

Her screams died down to tiny whimpers as Dick slowly thrusts into her bringing them down from their highs, The red glow in his eye slowly faded back to blue and he retracted his fangs and pulled away from her neck. "I love you..." he breathed kissing her forehead. "Me too..." she hummed tired him smiled tiredly "I'm sorry I took so long." he nuzzled into her neck light lapping at some of the blood seeping from his bite. Ashlynn's soft breathing was the only thing at answered him.

Dick felt his stomach twist sadly Wally wasn't the only reason why he came to her tonight, there was another reason he came over to tell her: goodbye.

Ashlynn was sore and upset the next day to find herself naked and alone in her bed, Dick left a note on her nightstand apologizing to her for everything not noticing her feelings, for attacking her and leaving her suddenly. He couldn't stay in this city, He didn't know how long he'll be gone for, And considering Ashlynn's made a few enemies in the Vampire community and advised her to move into Wayne manor, She'll be safe there until he got back. He needed time, time to think, time to find himself. He'll come back to her...He promised. She sniffled as she read the note. "You jerk..." she choked out wiping her eyes vowing to punch Dick in the face the next she saw him.

Two month later...

Ashlynn had taking up a maid like job at the manor Bruce said she didn't to anything, She was a guest but the taupe haired girl just didn't feel right "freeloading" off their kindness, Currently She was helping Alfred clean around the manor she was wiping down one of the vases, when she felt a presence behind her.

she whirled around and saw a man balding brownish hair, medium height and overweight. she recognized him as one of Bruce guest...Beauman, Beaumick?...Beaumont!...Mr. Henry Beaumont? why was he down here for, why wasn't he upstairs with everyone else? "Can I help you sir?" she asked warily Beaumont was silent as he took a step forwards it was then Ashlynn noticed his eyes...his red eyes.

"Why is Mr Wayne feeding us stale packaged crap.." He growled tossing a blood pack wrapping a hand around Ashlynn's throat. "When he's letting a perfectly good meal go to waste." the man said gruffly the taupe haired girl swallowed hard she tried screaming for Bruce,Alfred!Tim...Anyone?! but, nothing came out... just as the mans fangs were about to pierce her neck she closed her eyes *Dick...* when she opened them Red suddenly filled Ashlynn's vision she hadn't registered picking up the vase she been cleaning and bashing it over Beaumont's head or did she remember kicking him across the room and jumping on and started punching him over and over...

Ashlynn didn't even feel Tim and Alfred pulling her off the fat bastard, and held her back as Bruce kicked the old man barely conscious man his other guests out, She somehow broke away from Tim and Alfred and made a dash for the doors, Only for Bruce intercept Ashlynn and restrain her, he was briefly blindsided by the girl's glowing red eyes before taking her face in his hands, "Ashlynn...Ashlynn! you're alright, It's okay he's gone..." He assured She stopped struggling and made eye contact with the dhampire "Bruce?" she took a breath and her turned back to normal as the short girl got a good look around at all the damage in the hall.

"What happened...how did I?" she was shaking looking down at her bloody bruised hands trying to comprehend what came over her. "Ashlynn... you're pregnant" the raven haired man said stunned the green eyed girl looked confused when Bruce reached out and placed his hand on her stomach. "I'm hearing a second heartbeat..." the taupe haired girl looked down at her stomach shocked as Bruce's face contorted into anger.

"I'm going to kill him." He snapped sprinting to his study Alfred followed after him while Tim stayed with Ashlynn who dropped to her knees dazed with her hands on her belly. "C'mon Ash let get you to bed." the boy said picking her up bridal style and carrying her to Dick's old room.

The months passed like any normal pregnancy until Ashlynn reached her sixth month. she had to start drinking blood for the baby's vampire side, but not anyone's blood it needed to be the fathers, She needed Dick or she'd loose the baby. Bruce and Tim had been working their asses off trying to find him even recruiting Roy and Will to help find him.
but, when Dick Grayson wants to disappear he disappears. So one can imaging the shock on Ashlynn's face when she woke up in the middle of the night to see a stunned Dick Grayson gawking at her outside his bedroom window.
