Chapter 4

The Ring of the Vampire

Elysa watched as Optimus disappeared just as the sun started to rise then turned around and went in the same direction that Harper had gone in. When she got to the dorm entrance there was caution tape in front of the exit. There she found Harper standing there wanting to just go inside and sleep. "Where did you go?" she asked seeing Elysa had found her.

"Optimus wanted to tell me something." Elysa replied. Harper gave her a look and then moved her hair so that she could see her neck. Seeing that there were no bite marks made her feel a bit better.

"I'm sorry, but this dorm building is closed down for investigation. If anyone has any clues on the matter, their help would be appreciated." Said a police coming out of the building, following him were two medics rolling out the body with a white sheet over it, then as they turned one of the dead girl's arms fell out from underneath the sheet and Harper along with Elysa screamed.

The police officer looked at the two and then looked at the stretcher and saw the lifeless arm hanging out off the edge then went and put the arm back beneath the white sheet then walked back over to them as they were whispered, "We need to tell them Elysa, we know who the murderer is."

"We do, but if we tell them they're going to think we're crazy vampire lovers." Elysa replied. Harper gave her a hard look and Elysa smiled and then said, "Okay I am, but they'll lock us up like they did Renfield."

"Who?" Harper asked with a confused look. Elysa looked up and saw the officer approaching them and she went quiet. Harper turned around and saw the officer standing there.

"May I speak with you two for a second?" he asked and pulled up the yellow caution tape. The two walked under it and walked with the officer. "Do you guys know anything about the girl?"

"I saw a guy in the bathroom and I had an eerie feeling about him. He eyed me the whole time but never really talked to me. He was tall with black hair and pale blue eyes. His skin was deathly pale." Harper replied. Elysa looked at her so happy that she didn't expose the true creature that Megatron was.

The officer wrote down everything that Harper provided with and turned to Elysa, "Is that what you saw?"

"I truly didn't see anything. All I know I was woken up when Harper came into the room freaked out. It was around 4:30am." Elysa explained. The police officer wrote down the information and allowed the girls to go back into the crowd.

"Excuse me officer before you go, I was curious when will the dorms be opened back up? I mean we have all our stuff in there." Elysa spoke.

"The dorms will open back up around 18:00." The police officer replied and walked off.

"18:00?" asked Harper.

"Its military time, and I really hate military time because I get to use my lame math skills to figure out the answer." Elysa said with enthusiasm.

"So they'll let us in at 6:00pm." Harper said.

"How did you do that so fast?" asked Elysa who was blinking at how fast Harper had gotten it.

"I'm great in math remember? It's one of my strong points."

"Well then you can tutor me sometime."

"Yes, if we survive all this that is." Harper stated. It was true if they both survived the alien vampire attacks then they'll be home free.

"Optimus will not allow us to die." Elysa said, and as she did her eyes glazed over just thinking about him.

"Snap out of it. You'll be lucky if you don't end up his dinner one night because he hadn't fed at all. He was so tempted to drain you dry last night."

"You're the one who almost became dinner. If you hadn't gotten away when you did that dead girl right there would be you." Elysa snapped. Harper knew she was right, but she didn't want her to get hurt especially by an alien vampire.

"Don't worry Harper he didn't bite me. Its Megatron you have to look out for he looks like he's going to devour you any minute."

"And Optimus doesn't look at you like that?" Harper came back. Elysa went silent. She was going to train Optimus to be a good vampire, to control his thirst.

Optimus couldn't rest at all that day. His thirst kept tugging at him. Sitting up all day just thinking about Elysa and how good her blood would taste in his mouth. He mentally slapped himself for even thinking of doing something so evil. The blood lust was really taking a toll on him and all he could think of was killing and drinking blood. But Elysa was also going to teach him that he could live off of animals just as easily as he could with humans.

Deactivating this holoform Optimus started to drive off. He needed to drive a little bit. As he drove he came across Megatron's disguise parked on the curb. If Optimus was a Decepticon he would take him out in a flash, but being an honorable Autobot he stopped himself from doing so and continued to drive. As he drove down the road he saw Harper and Elysa walking along the sidewalk. He wanted to stop and pick them up but he didn't trust himself to have anyone inside him just yet.

Elysa saw a red fire truck drive past and when it did she felt something familiar about it. "What's wrong?" Harper asked.

"Nothing." Elysa lied and they continued to walk.

"Hey look at this vehicle." Harper exclaimed. She ran over to it and started running fingers over the hood, "It's gorgeous."

Megatron was awakened by human fingers running over his form. When he did a scan to see who it was he saw the human Harper who was destined to be his servant forever. He smiled inwardly knowing that she couldn't stay away from him. Looking at the female next to her he saw was Elysa the silly girl who had been attracted to Optimus Prime himself. He would kill the girl just to make Prime suffer but Harper wouldn't allow that and since her blood smelt so good to him he did not want to drain her dry, he wanted to savor every taste of her.

"Who do you think it belongs to?" Elysa asked not really head over heels for the vehicle. She thought it was cool but how Harper was acting was just the same way Elysa had acted around Optimus Prime. "There's something odd about this car."

"What? There's nothing wrong." Harper stated.

"Yes there is, how are you feeling right now and be honest."

"Well…my heart is beating very fast and I feel like I'm in love…why?" she asked.

"Remember when Optimus told us they were robots in disguise and that he was leader of the Autobots who longed for peace and Megatron longed to rule the world? What if this is Megatron's disguise? That would explain why you're acting like this." Elysa explained her theory.

Harper thought on it for a moment and realized her friend was right. Megatron wanted to really kill that female and when the time was right that's exactly what he was going to do. She was going to but out of Harper's life and enter what the humans called hell. "We need to get away from here quick. It's nearly 6:00 and the sun is going down. I don't want to be here when he wakes up." Elysa said.

Megatron wanted to laugh, they didn't know that he was already awake and had heard everything they had said. He watched the two girls start running back to their dorms. No matter where they ran he would always be able to find them. Harper's scent was unmistakable, so luscious, so sweet he could find her anywhere.

The two ran back to the dorm right at 6:00 and got into their dorm room before the sun had sat. Elysa started looking through her things to see if she could find that darn ring she had found not too long ago. It was silver and gold and had weird markings. She had a friend who was sensitive to light when she was younger and she let her friend try it on once, she went into the sun and she didn't get hurt. Her mother ended up finding another right just like it and gave her back Elysa's ring.

"What are you looking for?" Harper asked.

"My ring that I've always had…just in case I did meet a vampire," she replied and then looked in her small jewelry box and found it. "HA! Here it is!"

Just at that moment there was a knock at the door. "Who is it?" asked Harper.

"It's Optimus."

Elysa ran to the door and opened it to see Optimus standing there but he looked tired and weak. His eyes weren't kind as they once were when they had met. "Are you okay?" Elysa asked suddenly afraid.

"No…" Optimus grunted in pain. He hadn't fed for a full night and a second night had come around.

"He's thirsty Elysa can't you see that? He hasn't fed yet." Harper exclaimed pulling Elysa back.

"I have to help him Harper, you stay here but I need to help him. The reason why he hasn't fed is because he doesn't want to kill anyone. Once a vampire starts drinking blood it's so hard for them to stop." Elysa explained

She walked over to Optimus and put a hand on his arm which he jerked violently when she did. She led him outside the dorm room and eventually outside beneath the dark sky. Optimus looked at Elysa, all he wanted was a taste and the urge to taste her was nearly beyond his control. They walked into the woods together and stopped.

"Okay, Optimus I need you to listen to the wilderness around you." Elysa whispered and reached up to his face.

"I can't." Optimus growled.

Elysa sighed and grabbed a knife out of her pocket and laid it in her hand and wrapped her fingers around it. She took a deep breath and pulled it out cutting herself in the process. She looked up at Optimus whose eyes had gone blood red in smelling the blood. "You're mind is on one thing right now and until you get some blood in you, you won't be able to concentrate."

She held her hand up to him which he greedily started to lick. She felt his teeth graze her skin and she pulled away fast. "Now concentrate."

Optimus was impressed that she had moved when she did and focused on the wilderness around him, he heard some braches break in a distance. "Something's out there."

"What is it though?" Elysa asked.

"An animal I can smell its fur." Optimus replied.

"Then that is your meal for tonight." Optimus ran off as quickly as she said that and she was left in the woods alone.

Megatron was walking down the street and came up to the dorm and smiled. Harper was in her dorm room alone. Quickly he dissolved into a mist and floated up to her window and squeezed through the cracks. She was working on something in her room. He materialized behind her and asked, "What are you doing this find night? I think you're up past your bedtime."

Harper jumped and saw Megatron and whispered, "Oh no…"

"Oh no is right. You came to my true form today didn't you? Your scent was everywhere." Megatron spoke low. He felt his mouth watering as he got closer to her. Harper started walking backwards trying to stay away, but she ran into a wall which allowed Megatron to pin her against his body. "You smell so good right now." He growled as he put his nose in her hair, "You have no idea how much I fight not to kill you, to have your blood spill everywhere. You're definitely one of a kind."

Harper had no idea what to say, here was this vampire in her room and not just a vampire an evil alien vampire who wanted to take over the universe. He ran a finger down her neck until he came to her heart and he felt it beating very fast. "You have no reason to fear me, my dear I don't plan on hurting you. But I can't promise your friend is in the same boat."

"No! You can't hurt her!" Harper yelled.

"Shhhhh." Megatron sushed her, "It would be quick and painless, especially since she does not particularly smell as luscious as you. Also her guardian is the Optimus Prime."

"How do I know you won't go against your word? Usually villains go back on their word." Harper pointed out.

"Harper, you have me wrapped around you, your blood is like my best and worst friend. Something I want to eat, but also cherish for the rest of my life." With that said he pricked her finger fast she didn't know what happened. He put his finger in his mouth and gently started sucking some of the blood out of her finger. He licked her finger all away around. Harper couldn't help but confess to herself that she didn't want it to end; her heart was beating so fast now that it felt like it was in her throat.

"Your heart beat is music to my ears." Megatron said as he took her finger out of his mouth, "and you taste so much better than you smell." Harper didn't know what to say.

"I need to feed and not on you." Megatron whispered and kissed her on the lips fiercely before he materialized out of the room. Harper stood there shocked at what happened. In that small little kiss that they had shared she felt fire. Seeing he was gone she slid down the wall until she was sitting. She couldn't believe this was happening. This completely broke the law of reality and paranormal creatures.

She was completely out of her element. She liked the world when there weren't any alien vampires…she started thinking even harder then started asking herself if alien vampires are here, if there were any more vampires stalking the streets in the world. She looked outside and saw a full moon, or worse…werewolves. She closed her eyes and brought her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around her legs. Then finally put her head down on her knees and started crying.

Elysa waited for Optimus to get back and as she did an eerie feeling started to come over her as if something was watching her. She quickly turned around and found Megatron standing there; his once blue eyes were now blood red from thirst. "Where's Optimus? I was positive he wouldn't leave you alone. I guess I was wrong."

"What are you doing here? Are you here to feed off of animals as well?" Elysa replied.

"Oh no Elysa, what fun would there be if I just hunted animals for blood. No, I enjoy killing the human race for their blood. Their blood is more luscious than the own Transformers oil/Energon that runs through their veins. But you see, I really don't like you with Harper, and when I don't like someone around my Harper and knowing they will not leave them alone like you and her are roommates…I can't let that happen any longer." Megatron spoke.

Elysa went to punch him but Megatron caught her fist easily and started to squeeze until pain erupted through her hand. She bit her lip until she couldn't stand it anymore and screamed. Megatron smiled at her pain and went to in for a bite when a flash came running through the woods and pushed Megatron out of the way. When Elysa looked up she saw Optimus Prime standing there perfectly healthy again.

"You stay away from her." Optimus spoke mixed with a roar.

Megatron got up and laughed hearing this and said, "Better learn how to train you human better. Pets when not behaved not all of them survive."

"She's not a pet now leave Megatron." Optimus roared and leaped out to Megatron which caught the Decepticon leader off guard. Megatron growled at this and sudden felt sadness which was odd to him, and then he realized it wasn't his emotion at all.

"We will finish this later." Megatron spoke and was out of there in a flash. Optimus stood there scanning the area making sure that Megatron had disappeared for good. He then turned around to Elysa who was holding her hand. He walked over to her and gently touched her hand that was hurt. She violently flinched when he did this and then looked up.

"Are you okay?" Optimus asked as he held her hand gently within his. She looked up with tears in her eyes which made his heart leap. His heart may not be beating but it killed him to see tears in her eyes.

He gently opened her hand and looked at the cut she had made earlier. "This cut needs to be treated." He looked at me with sad eyes and said, "You shouldn't have done that."

"If I hadn't you wouldn't have been able to get control of yourself. At that point you could have easily killed me and had no recollection of it." Elysa replied. Optimus knew it was true and sighed. He escorted her out of the woods and there sitting next to the curb was a fire engine. "Is that your—

"Yes it is." Optimus spoke before she could answer her question and opened the door for her and started getting the first aid ready to fix her up.

Megatron entered the dorm again to find Harper in a ball next to the wall. He didn't know why he felt her feelings, and he didn't like it one bit. "Why are you sad?"

Harper looked up and saw Megatron standing there. "No apparent reason." She murmured. Megatron sensed that she was lying.

"You're lying." He growled and went over to her and picked her up by the neck. "Why do I feel that you're depressed?"

"I don't know!" Harper cried out, "You'd have to ask Elysa, she's the vampire expert!"

Megatron sighed being cruel was not working on getting the information out of her. He'd have to sweet talk her which was something Megatron had no experience in. He gently put her down and wrapped a hand around her waist and brought her body close to his which surprised her. She looked up at him to see him looking down at her trying to look as nice as he possibly could.

"What's wrong?" He whispered and gently ran some fingers through her hair.

"I'm scared more than sad Megatron." Harper spoke

"I'm not going to harm you—

Harper cut him off, "You are an alien vampire from a different world. If vampires are real in you world does that mean that there have been vampires in our world…what if I run into one?"

Megatron wrapped an arm around her and said, "They'll have to get through me in order to get to you."

"Megatron."

"Yes?"

"Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?" she asked. Megatron had expected the question to be asked sooner or later.

"I can't stand feeling how you feel." He replied

"Oh." She replied, "Well, we could find Elysa and ask her."

Megatron growled and complied. The two left the dorm room in search of Elysa and Optimus Prime.

Optimus sat her down inside his real form and got the first aid and put alcohol on her wound. Elysa gritted her teeth in pain as he did this and he quickly put some ointment on it then wrapped it up in bandages. "Does that feel better now?" he asked.

"A little bit. I hope it doesn't get infected." She replied.

"I'll be keeping a lookout on your health, but I doubt serious damage will occur from this." Optimus stated.

She smiled and jumped out of the seat and on to the pavement. Suddenly Optimus got tense and grabbed a hold of her and put her behind him, "What's wrong?"

"Megatron." He growled then before their eyes Megatron and Harper came walking towards them.

"Harper? What's going on?" Elysa asked.

"We have a question for you." Harper said getting in front of Megatron so Optimus wouldn't attack.

"And what is that?" She asked stepped out from behind Optimus.

"Okay, so Megatron pricked my finger earlier and consumed some of my blood, well apparently earlier when he was supposed to be out hunting he said he felt my sorrow…why was he able to sense that? We both want to know because Megatron is getting tired of it." Harper replied.

Elysa laughed a little and Optimus looked at her funny, "Whenever a vampire consumes a human's blood and doesn't kill the human it's able to keep contact with that person as long as it lives. The blood is the connection between the two. So because he consumed some of your blood he was able to feel your feelings, it's usually more effective when the two are far apart. That's how Dracula was able to keep in touch with Mina while traveling back to Romania."

The two were shocked at all the information that was given. "So because I drank some of her blood and she's still alive I can keep in contact with her and feel everything she feels? Can she do the same thing to me?"

"She will be able to contact you through your connection but won't be able to feel what you're feeling for its usually one way thing. As long as she's alive you will feel everything she feels." Elysa explained.

Megatron looked at Harper and made a face, "So whenever I'm far away from her I'm going to feel her…emotions?"

"Exactly." Elysa said, "Oh and by the way you still haven't fed yet. There's plenty of animals to choose from in the forest."

Megatron's eyes widened and then narrowed. He growled in his throat and walked away leaving Harper where she was.

"What was all that about?" she asked.

"Oh, he tried to feed on me earlier and Optimus stopped him. So he didn't get to feed and the night is nearly over, which reminds me." Elysa said and searched through her pocket and found the ring she had found in her jewelry box. "This is the ring I promised you."

Optimus held his hand out as she put it on his pinky, the only finger it would fit on. "Now stay out where when the sun comes up, we need to see if it works or not."

Harper came over to us and asked, "Is there a ring like that I could give to Megatron?"

Elysa looked at her and asked, "What? What do you mean?"

"Megatron isn't too bad, he's actually starting to be nice to me, I think it's because he's feeling what I'm feeling and he hates that. But is there another ring?" She asked again.

"I do not know if there are others…we could probably search for some others." Elysa replied and just the sun started to rise. Optimus stood there awaiting pain to erupt his body but instead of pain, a warm embrace of the sun warmed his cold body.

"It works." Optimus smiled and picked Elysa up effortlessly and exclaimed, "It works!"

Harper smiled a sad smile and started to walk in the direction Megatron had walked. She was happy for her friend and the vampire alien she was with, all she needed to do now was find one and give it to Megatron. He would reward her for as long as she lived. She continued walking down the street to find Megatron's form parked in the same place where it had been parked before. She smiled and touched the door and slowly opened it. She climbed inside to find Megatron nowhere in sight and then suddenly he popped up beside her.

"What are you doing here?" He asked shocked to see his human had followed him to his true form.

"I was looking for you. I hope you were able to feed before the sun rose." Harper spoke.

Megatron smiled seeing that she couldn't help but find him. Her heart was beating so fast now it made him very happy.

"Elysa found a ring that allows vampires to walk out into the sunlight. She gave it to Optimus." Megatron's eyes widened.

"Does it work?" he asked.

"Yes." She replied.

Megatron smiled an evil grin and said, "I knew you'd do me good. We will steal Optimus's ring unless they find me one. If not Elysa will be mine."

"No she won't." Harper stated, "She told me what you tried to do to her last night and if I hear anything like that again I will—

"You will what? You can do nothing against me that will hurt me." He laughed.

"Elysa is the vampire expert remember? She could show me how to kill you." Harper growled.

"Well it's a good thing you don't know how yet because I don't know how you'll kill me either so I can't help you out." Megatron laughed.

Harper couldn't help but smile as well. She got closer to Megatron and snuggled into his large frame. Megatron smiled wrapping his arms around her. If he ever made a vampire she would be his first. But first he'd have to find out how.

Okay so how was it? I know its been a while but I've been determined to upload this. I hope you guys liked it! Please R&R!
