Hey everyone. Thanks for all the reviews! Here's Chapter 2!

A few days later…

We were lying in our hammocks bored out of our minds. Evra and I had just finished up our chores for the day and no one needed any help with anything. My arms were folder back behind my head as I stared up at the top of the tent. I sighed, trying to think of something to do.

"Have any ideas?" I asked glancing over at Evra.

The snake-boy shook his head. "Not yet," He sighed too. "You?"

"Nope,"

"Well, keep thinking," I said rolling onto my side to face him.

I couldn't believe there was nothing to do. Normally the day flies by, but today it was dragging on. One minute felt like days. Maybe it was just me, but that's how it felt.

"How about we fight?"

I sat up. "For fun?"

"Yeah," He grinned. "I'll go easy on you."

I thought for a minute. It didn't seem like a bad idea at first. As I considered the idea, I realized something. Vampires are stronger than normal humans. had warned me about the changes that would take place while my now human body adapted to the vampire blood in me.

"What if I hurt you?" I asked.

"You haven't been drinking blood," Evra reminded me. "I don't think you could hurt me if you tried."

"I guess," I mumbled.

We went out in the open of the field by where we had set up camp. It was a warm spring-like day, perfect for being outside. We stood across from each other.

"So…now what?" I asked.

"This!"

Evra lunged at me. We wrestled playfully on the ground for a moment before I was able to escape him.

"Come on," I laughed. "Is that all you got?"

He came at me again. Unfortunately, I wasn't ready and I got punched in the mouth. Evra backed off when he realized that he got me in the mouth.

"You okay?"

I checked my teeth with my tongue. Fortunatly, nothing was chipped or broken (as far as I knew).

Grinning, I replied, "Gonna take WAY more than that to hurt me,"

When he came at me this time, I was ready. I ducked his arm as he swung at me. I tackled him to the ground and pinned his arms down so he couldn't move them.

The next thing I knew, there was blood and a loud yell. Evra's left arm was sliced and cut and covered in the crimson liquid. I fell back, blinking. I had no clue what had happened. The last few seconds were a blur in my mind. Tears fell from his eyes as he clutched his left arm with his right hand.

"I-I d-didn't muh-muh-mean t-t-to," I stuttered. "I-I'm s-s-sorry, Evra,"

He said nothing as sat there and continued to cry and whimper. Though I wanted to go and get help, I found that I was unable to move. My whole body had went numb.

I felt sick. Not sick, sick. I couldn't believe that I had hurt Evra. I looked down at my fingers. At the end of all of them, sharp pointed nails. They were still stained red—blood red. I felt awful. I didn't mean to hurt him. I didn't even know my nails were that sharp. The other day they weren't that long. I heard Evra yelp.

"Ow!" The snake-boy whimpered. "That hurt!"

"I know, I know," Came another voice—Mr. Tall. "Just hold on a moment,"

There were a few more cries of pain from Evra before the other voice spoke again.

"Come see me later. We may have to change the bandages."

"Thank you,"

I heard Mr. Tall leave the tent. I didn't turn around to face Evra. I couldn't. Not after I did that to him. There was a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. Fear, frustration, worry, guilt, I couldn't tell.

"Darren?"

I took a deep breath and summoned my courage. It takes a lot to talk to someone you jut hurt. Not turning around, I answered him.

"Yes, Evra?"

"I know you didn't mean it," He said. "So please turn around."

Sighing, I rotated myself to face him. I stared down at the ground.

"Now look at me,"

I looked up at him. The first thing I saw was the cloth that had been wrapped around his injured arm. It had already begun to turn a dark red from his still bleeding cuts.

"I'm not mad," He told me. "I was just…surprised."

"I'm sorry, Evra. I'm so sorry." I replied. "I don't know what came over me,"

"What came over you?" Evra questioned. "What do you mean?"

"All I remember is having you pinned down and then…nothing," I paused to cough before continuing. "Until you screamed, of course,"

"You don't remember?"

I shook my head then asked, "Did you notice anything strange or different about me before or while I hurt you?"

"Well," He sighed. "Right after you pinned me down, your eyes turned red and you bared your teeth. That's all I can recall…"

"Oh my God," I said, trembling. Tears began to form in my eyes. "I-I'm becoming a monster,"

"No you're not," Evra told me. "Vampires aren't monsters. They don't kill, right?"

"Right," I said, wiping a few tears away. "But I hurt you. That's just as bad."

"Darren, I know you didn't mean it," Evra repeated. "I'm not dead, I'll be fine."

After a moment of pure silence, Evra spoke again.

"It's getting late. Maybe we should go to sleep. We had a long day."

Nodding, I pulled my covers over me. I fell asleep crying that night. I never thought being a vampire could endanger everyone—especially my best friend—around me.
