A/N: Thank you for all who reviewed. I hope this will be as much a success as my other fics, though Tergum Vicis passed them all by getting over 300 reviews. =D Anyway, I ramble. This is the only fic I'll be working on for a while til I get it finished most likely, I have to be in the mood to update any story, and I'm only in the mood to write this one. So most likely after this is done I'll be working on finishing Fly With Me.
Summary: Freddie goes missing one night, and Sam finds him the next day, bloody and laying unconscious on the ground. But then he starts acting strange, avoiding the sun and Sam at all costs.
Warnings: Character death [sorta], cursing, mild sexual situations, oocness.
Disclaimer: iCarly does not belong to me. Why would I be writing fanfiction if it was?
iHave Been Bitten
Chapter 3: iWill Tell You
Freddie blinked a few times when he realized he had just jumped down from a window that high up and survived (even though he had knew he would, being a vampire and all) from Carly's apartment, had run off and arrived at the park in less than five minutes. That was not possible, even on human speed.
"I guess I have super human speed," Freddie said to himself, looking down at his feet. There was almost no one at the park, it was too early in the morning, but it was a weekend day, so it wouldn't be long before people came out. "That's kinda cool, I guess."
Looking around, he heard a lot of sounds he wouldn't normally hear other than the chirping of birds. He heard footsteps that weren't even near the park, smelt everything around him, even the scents that he'd rather not smell. A scent that smelt strangely familiar came to him, and he took in a deep breath, staying in the spot, frozen stiff.
Sam.
What the hell, is she following me? Why is she suddenly starting to care for me now? We hate each other, don't we? It's how things should be. It's the way things...used to be.
But was it how they wanted things to be?
She was getting closer, and he cursed louder. He had to get out of here. He couldn't let her be around him, especially not alone.
"BENSON!" she shouted, and he winced. Owww, my ears...
Do I have super hearing too? Like a bat? he asked himself, seeing Sam in the distance. She was getting closer, and she looked mad, but no surprise there.
That's cool.
"Benson, I want an explanation out of you. Now!" Sam said angrily as she approached him. Her face showed nothing but anger and - hey, was that worry?
"I jumped out a window," Freddie shrugged, and Sam rolled her eyes.
"Duh, I know that Fredweird. But how in the world are you still alive?!"
Freddie attempted a half-smile as he looked over at her. "I'm not," he said, looking very serious for that moment.
Sam took a small step back, most of the anger leaving her. Most of it, anyway. It was replaced with shock.
"Wh-What?"
Freddie laughed then. "You should see your-"
"Don't change the subject, Benson," Sam said through gritted teeth. "You're acting crazy! Jumping through windows, and since when did you become so fast?!"
Freddie looked around, making sure no one was watching them, before he took a hold of Sam's arm. Sam was about to yell at him and break his own, when she was surprised by his strength. Freddie definitely hadn't been this strong before, either. He took her behind a tree and pinned her to it, for once not scared or caring if she threatened to break any part of his body. He'd still live, after all.
"What I'm about to tell you," he said as he took in a small breath. "You cannot tell...anyone else. I mean it, Sam."
Sam frowned, what could be that serious? She wasn't sure she wanted to know...
"You....you said you weren't alive," Sam spoke quietly as she looked up at him. "But you're not a ghost or anything, I can still touch you. So, what gives?"
"I'm...."
"Sam! Freddie!" a familiar voice called, and both of them peeked out from behind the tree. It was Carly, Spencer along with his mother. Frowning, Freddie looked back at her. "I'll tell you later," he said before taking off, shocking Sam once again by showing her his speed, the same speed she had seen him use after he jumped down from the window of Carly's apartment.
Just what in the world was going on?
"Sam?" Carly asked, placing a hand on her best friend's shoulder as she found her behind a tree. "What are you doing here?"
"Fredward was just about to tell me.... something," she paused for a moment, because she didn't know what he was going to tell her.
Carly blinked. "Wait, Freddie was here?"
Sam nodded mutely. "He was...he took off. Stupid Freddork," she said after a few moments, trying to get her thoughts straight.
He had been about to tell her. He had really trusted her enough to tell her. Stupid interruptions!
Suddenly feeling oddly hot, Freddie looked up and saw the sun rising higher into the sky. He frowned, wondering what the sun would be like for him. He really hoped he wouldn't turn into dust like in those vampire stories he had read. He just had this feeling like he had to get out of the way of the sun, and fast.
He ran into a nearby building that looked pretty much abandoned. The windows were boarded up and everything. Freddie let a small smile come onto his face. This would be perfect until sun down. He didn't know what would happen if he went out into the sun, he just knew he couldn't find out.
He sighed as he looked around the place, shutting the door behind him which let out a small creaking noise. He saw nothing of interest, black walls, white tiled floors, old paintings of different kinds of scenery, a large brown round table sitting in the middle of the room with four chairs surrounding it.
Taking a sniff of the air, he frowned. It felt like he was alone here, whatever scents he could smell were old and faint, barely there, so why was there a table here? Had someone also been using this as a hideout?
Feeling a bit nervous as he walked around, he hesitantly took a seat in one of the chairs at the table, wondering if whoever it was using this place would be coming back anytime soon.
A/N: I still don't know what kind of vampire he'll be. Vote people! Twilight kind of die in the sun kind? Review. ;) Enjoy this chapter and the next chapter will be around soon.
