A/N: this chapter may be like PG-14, kinda. or not. It's just a precaution cause it's fluffy and swearing and some more blood drinking and stuff.
Chapter 4
Jason burst through the door, he looked around and the rest soon slid in behind him.
They stared.
I backed away from his body and stared at Jason in some kind of fear.
"What the fuck?!" he snapped and looked at Pierre. He stepped forward, and the girls walked to me me.
"Wow, her first feed." Dru looked down at Pierre. Jason stared at her in disbelief and anger.
"Her fiance!" Jack looked shocked.
"I thought you were cured of that." Carol said.
"Out." Jason said, pointing to the door. He was technically my master still, I had to listen to him since I have no connection with Madeline anymore.
I got up and left.
"Are you banishing her?" Dru looked surprised.
"He is hers." Jackie said. "He is what we were now... I think. He smells sick, not dead."
Carol bounced up to Pierre and stared at his body. Jason was looking over Pierre angrily yet protectively.
"Well we are in for a rough night." Carol said and walked off. Garren let the girls go and Scott went in to help Jason with Pierre's body.
I sat in the court yard, stunned. The girls came down and watched me sit there in silence.
"So?" they came around me after a few moments.
I looked up in sadness.
"What was it like?" Jackie asked.
"Why?" I asked in a whine.
"Why what?" Carol asked in confusion.
"Obviously the cure is not a cure. Your Slayer heritage did not keep anything at bay so you could be cured, like us." Drusilla said.
I put my hands over my face.
"Cravings are cravings sweet heart." Dru said. "This being your first is amazing."
"I feel bad! Vampires don't feel bad." I said.
"I know." Jackie purred. "We never told anyone but we still prey, not often but the cravings become so bad..."
"You feel bad?" Carol asked, looking worried. "I thought you were just scared of Jason. He is your sirer right?"
I nodded. "I can not believe I did that though!"
"That many years without feeding... and no cravings?" Dru looked up to the darkening sky.
"Until now..." I said tears forming in my eyes.
"Oh a mystery!" Carol said.
"Not so, my pretty." Dru smiled, her teeth glinting. "There are two possible reasons."
"Oh?" Carol looked confused.
"They are myths really." Jack said glancing at her older friend.
Dru sat beside me. "My guess is the demon took over. Or legends speak of love being in the mix. It keeps it at bay or it makes a sacrifice." she looked at me. "Passion sparks a lot of things."
"I don't want him to be a vampire." I cried out softly.
"He'll be with you, if you did it right." Carol said kneeling in front of me.
"If he takes that mix Garren made us take, he'll be one of us." Jackie smiled. "It would be awfully romantic."
"You wouldn't have to feed either, since you'll have each other." Dru said. "If all works out of course."
I sigh.
"Except Jason is awfully mad at you." Jackie said.
Carol smiled and got up, "Leave him to me. He'll think differently."
"He's mad at you too, idiot." I growled.
"Well I'm still making you see Pierre." Carol said dragging me back into the mansion.
"But Jason told her to stay out." Jackie said.
"Well I re-invite her." Carol said. "It's not Jason's house anyway. It's ours."
I walked in and I heard screaming. That is why most vampires are buried, so you cannot hear them before they awake. We sneaked up the stairs to Pierre and my room. I looked at his half unconscious body chained to the heater. They went through a lot of trouble. Pulling the bed to the radiator just to chain him up. Like that is comfortable. As well as the windows were boarded up.
Carol left me and I went to sit beside Pierre. He was squirming a bit. The pain was never fun, and having to go through it four times... I know it's not fun. His eyes snapped open, and they looked at me. He pulled once on his arm and growled. He laid there not moving and not talking.
"So?" I said, looking down at him.
"You turned me." he said.
"Yes, and I am so very sorry." I said.
He looked up at me seriously, his nose flaring. He calmed down. "Could you take the chain off?" he asked.
"I don't have the key." I said.
"Help me break it off. It's not like I need it." he said, sitting up in a weird way.
"It's a precaution." I said. "Probably until they make the cure."
He looked away.
"If it even works..." I said, I wanted to cry. "God I hope you are not a full." I said to myself.
He looked at me.
"You were not trying to turn me?" he asked.
"I did not want this to happen." I said with tears.
He moved so he looked more comfortable. He looked at me, I could tell without looking that I fucked up. "Then what happened?" he asked.
I felt my heart tug, I looked at him finally. He was younger. "I love you Pierre, but I did not want this for you."
"I'll take the cure, then everything will be fine." he said, I could not tell if he had doubt in his voice.
"I'll tell the others you are awake." I said and got up, he brushed my arm with a hand.
As I walked out Carol caught me. "Stay with him. I'll tell the guys." she said. Sticking her head in she smiled, "Hello Pierre."
Pierre waved with the hand not chained.
"He doesn't smell dead." Carol said, and smiled at me.
I walked back in. Pierre looked happy and smiled, his teeth seemed bigger. He was turning though, just like I did.
I sat back down on his bed. His heart was beating, I could hear it, and his breaths were shallow.
I held his hand.
"I'll let you off." I said. "But if you go all vampy on me or anyone. I'm going to have to kill you."
He looked really surprised. "But you said..."
I smiled, "I trust you, since I am here."
"Oh." he looked at the chain.
"On the count of three, yank." I said. I grabbed onto the chain and on three we pulled and it snapped. I broke off the wrist part.
"That's better." he said looking at his wrist. He smiled at me, "Thanks."
"The least I could do." I said and looked at the floor.
Pierre took my hand. "It's different." he said. "It is much different than before."
I nodded sadly. He was a vampire.
Pierre pulled me closer to him. I looked up and our noses were almost touching, I felt the air his dying body was breathing on my face. I never noticed how vampires still die as they slowly transform.
He bent down and our lips touched. He pushed me down on the bed, and laid lightly on top of me, kissing me. He broke the kiss and looked at me, he growled lightly and kissed my neck, then the door opened. Carol, Jason, Garren, and Scott stared.
Jason jumped and tackled Pierre to the ground. Garren quickly dragged me off the bed, keeping himself in between me and the fight Jason started. While Scott just held the mixture. Pierre only put up a fight until Jason put him in a full nelson. They were both breathing heavily.
"What the fuck?!" Jason growled.
Pierre wiggled a bit, "I was going to ask the same thing, now get off!"
"You were going to eat Kali!" Jason panted out, struggling to hold him tighter.
"No!" Pierre and I yelled.
"We were just kissing, now if you don't let go man, I will have to eat you." Pierre yelled, but did not struggle
I watched, Garren was still keeping himself in front of me. Jason let go, and Pierre shoved him away.
"Whoa, I think we are in the twilight zone, because a vegan vampire just said something cannibalistic!" Scott said, holding onto the concoction protectively.
Jason and Garren kept their eyes glued on Pierre when he just sat on the bed and did not move.
Carol smiled, "It's a behavior thing."
Scott looked down at her. I smiled at myself when I looked at Pierre.
"Why did you let him go?" Jason asked looking at Pierre, but directing the question to me.
"I trusted him." I said, feeling like I was under a spell.
Carol poked Scott, "Give it to him now."
Scott handed the drink to Pierre who looked at it. I pushed Garren away and sat beside Pierre.
"For me?" I cooed.
I could feel everyone's food coming up from our display.
"Behavior." Carol explained looking at us lovingly.
Pierre pouted but downed the concoction. I smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you." I smiled, he gave the glass to Jason.
"Happy now?" he growled, we both knew he was going to be in pain again.
"Nauseous, actually." Scott said. Jason walked out of the room, Garren quickly following.
Carol walked up to me, "Strengthen him." she whispered and smiled.
I caught her by the throat. I brought her down to my level.
"Don't tell me that again or else your head is mine." I whispered to her with an evil smile.
Her nose flared and she left.
"Nymph." I growled at the closed door. I turned to Pierre, he already did not look too good.
"I'm sorry." I said, sitting beside him.
He was shaking.
"It hurts more when you are dead." I said, holding onto his hand.
"It's okay." he said, bitting his lip.
It wasn't long until he was unconscious again. I placed him more comfortably on the bed, and sat in a corner to wait it out. I threw one of the vases in our room at the first person who walked in. I haven't seen anyone since. I did not eat or get up for the two days of him screaming and flailing. I just watched, letting everything tear at my heart.
Pierre opened his eyes, his normal smell was coming back yet it was different. I climbed slowly onto the bed. He looked at me and sighed. He still looked like the younger vampire I saw forty eight hours ago.
"How are you?" I asked, pulling him to a sitting position.
"Sick." Pierre said, he did look pale. I handed him my cross that warmed my chest for years. "Nothing." he said and got up and ran out of the room. I followed him. He went to the bathroom and I heard him puke. Then he yelled out in surprise, I knocked.
"What?!" I called in.
"I... dream?" he asked.
"No..." I replied through the door. "You are like me, stuck at twenty five."
"But I'm... Thirty-seven." Pierre came out.
"Yes, but you were strongest at Twenty five." I said. "You're going to be young for a long time now."
"I'm emortal?" he said.
"I killed you." I said. "You were dead like me."
"So I'm a permanent halfy like you and the girls?" he asked.
"Yes." I replied, we walked back to our room. "Laws of mortality and vampirisum do not apply to us."
"I... we...you..."
I looked at him and he looked worried, and broke down in tears. "I'm sorry for doing it."
"Why are you crying?"
"I hurt you!" I said.
"I know." Pierre said, holding me, forgetting his initial shock.
I wiped away my tears. "Are you mad?"
Pierre was half thinking with a strange look on his face. "I was dying." he said. "Yet I was getting stronger. It was a different consciousness... it was... well just different."
"It's the power." I scoffed. "Did you like it?" I asked carefully.
He sighed and shook his head.
I smiled lightly, "Good, because you drink the power until you die. I was a slayer, I did not exactly have the dying problem."
He sighed again and laid on the bed with his eyes closed.
I shut the door and walked up to him sitting beside him and looked at his face. "You're stronger, faster, your life is longer, and you still have me. Ignore the fact that you almost died, and lost that emortal feeling of being a god."
He snapped his eyes open and looked at me.
"Ignore the fact I could have done anything." Pierre said almost angrily.
This shocked me a bit, "Killing is not everything." I said. "Even if you wanted to sink your teeth into someone, or snap their neck just to feel the bone break, it's not that fun."
He groaned, I looked at him and put my hand on his chest, his heart was beating again and his lungs were filling with air.
"Let's go to breakfast." I said and bounced my way down to the kitchen. We came down holding hands, smiling with our fangs. Everyone looked at us.
"You look..." Scott faded off.
"Alive." Jason said.
"Er." Garren added.
"You both look peachy." Dru said.
"You weren't loud," Carol said. Everyone looked at her in surprise. "this morning." they looked away and pushed their plates away.
I grabbed the letter opener magnet from the fridge and threw it so it just missed her neck and hit the wall behind her.
She swallowed but did not flinch.
"Nothing happened." Pierre said remembering what Carol reference last night about what Maddy said five years ago.
"I meant the screaming by the way." Carol said and Scott took back his plate and finished it.
I took an orange and started to cut it. "If you nymph manic bitches say another word about anything false or true, our gang will have to find people to replace you three." I said, and cut open my finger accidentally. I hissed as orange juice got in it.
Pierre looked surprised and came over to my rescue. He took my finger and sucked the blood off. He kissed it then kissed my forehead.
"Maddie was the only Nymph." Dru said. "We would just like to help you two have a healthy vampiric relationship."
Everyone looked at us.
"I can't eat anymore." Garren said and got up to leave.
Jason looked at Pierre in disgust and bewilderment and left with Garren.
"There is something different about this..." Scott said, looking at Pierre.
"Vampire behavior." the girls said.
"It's like the discovery channel!" Carol said. "Instead of lions, they are vampires."
"We're so dead." Scott said and walked out behind Garren and Jason.
"No!" I called out.
Dru chased after Scott. Carol looked at us. "You two will have heightened euphoric feelings that will die out eventually. It's fun to watch because you are so playful, until one is endangered then someone is going to die."
Pierre looked at Carol, "Don't you have some chores to do?" he asked.
