The flight to Wisconsin was silent, taking only two days instead of four. But on those two days, Danny had to feed. There wasn't any flight attendants on Vlad's private jet, just the pilot. Vlad himself would have to feed him without his parents seeing, but it was like a small house, with a few areas that were separated. So while the others were sleeping, he pulled Daniel out of his slumber and into the kitchen like area.
Daniel looked bleared eyed at him, confused and still half asleep. Rolling his sleeve up, Vlad offered his arm to the sleepy boy. "Drink." He ordered. Danny blinked at him, unsure. With a soft sigh, Vlad pressed his nail close to the crease of his elbow, and sliced through the skin easily. Danny snapped out of the sleep daze he was in, his eyes wide.
"But…"
"You're still…young, Daniel, you need to feed." His blue eyes were big, his lips set in a slight pout. But he hesitantly gripped the arm, Vlad pushing the now healed spot closer. Danny let his fangs descend, looking back up to Vlad for confirmation. When he nodded, Danny bit down, wrapping his mouth around the wound.
Vlad bit back a moan as the pleasure of the bite hit him, pulling the boy flush against his chest, his free arm wrapping around the younger's waist. He buried his face in the black and white hair of Danny, inhaling the boy's scent.
The pleasure lingered moments after the bite had been sealed. It took Vlad a full moment before realizing the boy had stopped feeding, and he shouldn't be holding on him. But he couldn't help it, tightening his hold on the boy, who let out a strange soft purr sound that sounded fully content.
Danny looked up at him with his neon green eyes, wide and glassy. Vlad couldn't help but just adore that confused look he got after feeding, it was…adorable. He was also very pleased on the color of his eyes. A newly turned vampire's eyes always started out an icy blue, taking at least a day to develop into their true color. The green suited him perfectly. He realized that he was still holding the young boy tightly and tried to let go. Easier said than done. Vlad found himself unwilling to move, and Danny's blood high, as he'd taken to calling it, was going to ware off soon.
Finally he was able to push the boy gently away, though seeing the pout the boy supported was enough to want him to bring him fully back in his grasp. Then Danny blinked and his brilliant green eyes were back to that usual baby blue.
His eyes widened. "Did I hurt you?!" Danny demanded in a hiss.
"No, Daniel." And it was true, the cut was healed already.
Danny went to say something else, when his sister, Jazz, came in. Her aquamarine eyes were fuzzy, but awake enough to only just comprehend what was going on around her.
Danny looked at Vlad a moment before disappearing, no doubt going back to lay down. He was just pulled out of his slumber. Vlad smiled at the girl, who was getting a glass of water and left as well.
When they landed, the entire Fenton family was surprised by the size of his mansion, if you call it that. It was more like a castle.
Danny sighed, sitting on his bed later that night. He'd fed off of someone in the town nearby with Vlad not even an hour ago. And compared what he'd tasted on the plane, both nights, the boy's blood was nothing like Vlad's. He was extremely disappointed when he sank his fangs into the distasteful boy, but drank nonetheless.
Now he was on his bed, his phone in hand. Dash was pissed at him. He narrowed his eyes as he typed a response back, but the lengthy messages just kept coming. If this kept up, Dash would call and they would fight. Again.
Dash wanted to "take their relationship to the next level." But Danny outright said no, and Dash got more and more persistent, even cooing at him while being drunk, however, didn't manage to change Danny's mind. But then he'd get angry and tried, at least twice, to force himself on the younger teen. Danny managed to thwart the Jock from his goal, however.
Things were not well with them - one of the reasons he'd said no - not for a while. Almost a month before he dyed his hair, he'd walked in on a drunk Dash fucking a high Paulette. He'd stormed out, not before taking a picture, and the next morning, when Dash had a huge hangover, Danny yelled and screamed at him. Dash, of course, denied everything. He even denied why his head was pounding at the moment. But when Danny showed him the proof, the only reason he'd taken it, and Dash paled. It would've been hilarious, if the older hadn't started screaming at him.
Then Dash did something that Danny now hated him for. He slapped him. Any feelings Danny had for the older teen was gone, and violently turned to hate. Danny tried to break up with him then, but no. No relationship was over until Dash said so. Then he claimed that he'd fuck whoever he wanted, especially since Danny himself wasn't "putting out" for him.
Of course that started a whole other screaming match. Ending with Danny slamming out of the house. When he made it home, he was going to tell his mother, but as soon as he found her, it was talking to Dash who was "innocently" looking for Danny.
It was a warning, to not tell his parents. Danny would've told them, but Dash was over constantly now, and any other time his parents were free, they were too busy to listen to a word he said. Danny was stuck. And the only time he'd had to tell his parents was now wasted, as he'd been bitten while leaving Dash's house. The older had forced Danny to come over, while packing, snarling that he was "to be a good boy" and not do anything while he was away. Danny was taking the short-cut home, and got attacked.
But he was hoping to tell them, on this trip, and Dash knew it.
Just as he'd been expecting, the phone rang. "I hate you, I-I hate you, I-I hate you, ah ah. I hate you, I-I hate you, I-I hate you, ah ah. I hate you, I-I hate you, I-I hate you, ah ah. I hate you, I-I hate you, I-I hate you, ah ah. betrayed me, played me, stayed me, hurt me like i've never been hurt before. Disowned only for the other people you decided you wanted in your lif-" Suddenly sounded through the room, which Danny didn't want to answer. But if he didn't, then he'd continue to call until he picked up, so he did, cutting off the song.
For a brief moment, Danny thought he heard footsteps outside his door. But shrugged it off, as it was probably one of his parents looking for a bathroom. A quick thought to why the sound was so soft, but he remembered that Vlad said the walls were soundproof, good especially since he'll probably end up yelling into the phone.
"What do you want, Dash?"
"Why did you leave?" His voice was whiney and sounded fake, so much that Danny wanted to kill something.
"None of your damn business."
"The hell it isn't! You're my boyfriend!"
"Not if this trip goes the way I want it to." He snarled into the receiver.
"Like they would believe you!"
"Well who do you think they're going to believe, their son, or the one who isn't here to plead their case?"
"You belong to me!"
"No, I do not! You own nothing of me!"
"Yes you do!"
"Why don't you go to Paulette? You're fucking her anyways! You deserve the whore!"
At that moment, the door slammed open, Danny let out a small terrified shriek, dropping the phone to the carpeted floor. As when he looked up to see who it was, he was met with blazing red eyes of Vlad, whose fangs were thick and extremely noticeable. Danny could hear Dash asking for him, worriedly as if suddenly remembering that he was attacked simply days before.
Vlad said nothing as he was suddenly there, bending down and scooping up the phone. He listened for a split second before snarling in the receiver. "Your 'relationship' with Daniel is over. You even think about him in any way, you'll find you'll be looking down at your own gruesome corpse, before going to hell to burn for all eternally. Do you understand?"
"Who the fuck is this?" Dash demanded.
Vlad chucked the phone across the room, watching it shatter against the stone. He looked to Danny, whose eyes were wide with fear. "I'll get you a new phone, Daniel." Danny cringed when Vlad reached out for him, and looked startled himself, before realization lit in his red eyes. His eyes faded back to blue, his huge fangs shrunk back to the normal size, and the deadly aura was gone. "I apologize, I didn't mean to frighten you. Nor break your phone, but that can be fixed."
Danny didn't know what to do, his eyes were wide and fearful, but he knew, or at least hoped, that Vlad wouldn't hurt him. Vlad sat down on the bed, looking at Danny with careful eyes. He didn't want to frighten the boy further, knowing that all Danny remembered from the attack was red eyes and fangs. Seeing Vlad storm in like that must've set his mind back to when he was attacked.
Vlad could hear the boy's frantic heart slow, his tense body slowly relaxing back as he calmed down. Danny's eyes cleared and he looked at Vlad. "I'm sorry."
"Daniel, what was that all about?" He asked, not acknowledging the apology.
Danny looked down suddenly, before looking back up determinedly. "I found him cheating on me, and tried to break up with him. Dash wouldn't let me though, and wouldn't leave me alone with my parents long enough to tell them. I was planning on telling them here, where he couldn't stop me."
"Why didn't you just ignore the call?"
"Because he'd call me all through the night. Don't give me that look, I use, well, used my phone as an alarm clock. I had to keep it on."
Vlad quirked an eyebrow, before sighing. "Why didn't you tell me? We've been together for days and never once did this come up."
"I'm sorry, I'm expected to remember that I have a controlling, abusive boyfriend when I find out I'm half-vampire? You try remembering that little tidbit when you've realized that you've become the very thing you thought didn't exist!"
"ABUSIVE?!" Vlad roared, springing to his feet, his eyes blood red. Danny flinched back involuntarily.
"Only once." Danny whispered, looking back down.
"I'll kill him!" It really wasn't Vlad who was talking, it was more of the vampire side, and even then, Vlad realized that him acting this way would cause questions, questions he didn't want to answer at that moment. The slight narrowing of his blue eyes was enough to confirm it.
"Why are you overreacting? Even if he tried to hit me again, I would've beat his ass. It wouldn't have been the first time I've fought him off."
"What do you mean?"
"….."
"Daniel?" Danny didn't meet the glowing red eyes. "What do you mean?"
Danny's eyes closed before the whispered reply, "He's been…pressuring me." The temperature dropped in the room as rage poured off of the older vampire's body. "But I haven't given in, and because of it, I found him sleeping with someone else. I've been trying to get rid of him ever since, but it's been damn near impossible!"
"And your parents never knew about this?"
"He was good as gold around them, and they loved him."
Vlad felt his anger rising to new levels, and knew if he did not leave now, his vampire side would be in control…full control. And the want, no, need to take Danny was almost overpowering now. If Vlad's vampire came fully out, then Danny wouldn't have a choice in the matter, he would be claimed as Vlad's wither either of them wanted it or not.
"…I have to go. Good night, Daniel." He said, trying hard not to force the words out through clenched teeth. Leaving the room as quickly as possible without causing questions to raise out of the boy. He even turned and smiled at Danny before shutting the door, claiming he'd have one of his servants wake the boy up in place of the phone, which he would replace first thing in the morning.
Vlad couldn't stop himself from going to his office and turning on his computer, searching for a "Dash Baxtor" and pulling everything he could about the teen.
