Love Lockdown

Hey guys! Nothing much going on. I'm gonna try and get this up today within the hour. If I do it'll be a damn miracle. But I didn't do anything today, it was National Strike For Gay Rights Day so I stayed home and all that. My mom wouldn't let me go protest so I just stayed home.

Let's see last chapter, Andie had the strange dream where Chase was a bad vampire and Nora came to her in a hallucination. Also there was a dark shadow that was trying to come to her house and Alex raced it there. I'm not sure what's gonna happen in this chapter. I had something planned but it's too early for what I had planned lol so this might just be a filler or I may do what I originally planned, we'll have to wait and see.

A/N-This one is named after Kanye West's new song "Love Lockdown" I don't really like him but this song is awesome.

Disclaimer-Don't own Step Up 2, it's probably a very good thing I don't.

By the time Chase got to Andie's house, the sun was directly overhead and Alex had to let him. Andie herself was sitting on the couch staring at the laptop, she held a crushed can of pop in her hand and her eyes were unfocused. Not wanting to startle her and get hurt, Chase called her name from the doorway.

"Andie?"

She jumped and her eyes flickered over to him for a moment. They did not stay long and Chase could sense the tension that moved between the two of them. Closing his eyes for a moment, he switched them to the snake view before opening them again. Andie's aura was a murky brown and wasn't a straight line. Sighing Chase shoved his hands into his pockets. She wasn't happy, upset was probably the best word for it and he knew he was half the cause of it.

"Are you going to stand there forever or come sit?"

The coolness and calmness in her voice took Chase by surprise. He had expected to be spoken to in sharp tones and only when he'd asked her something.

Nodding his head, Chase slowly started to make his way over to the couch.

"You know there's a snail behind you honking his horn." Andie muttered grinning into her fingers.

Chase rolled his eyes. She was always so confusing, wasn't she supposed to be mad at him for asking to be turned?

Andie must have sensed his confusion and she tilted her head.

"What's up?" She asked.

"You were mad at me when we talked on the phone." Chase said bluntly. "Why are you not still mad?"

Raising her eyebrows, Andie surveyed him for a moment.

"I don't understand." She said after a moment. "Would you like me to go back to being mad at you?"

"Why were you mad at him?" Alex asked sitting on Andie's other side.

Chase opened his mouth to tell him to go away so they could talk when Alex shook his head.

"No I want an explanation as to why I had to race a shadow demon here." He said. "Or at least some details as to what you did to make her mad."

"I didn't do anything." Chase said frowning.

"She wouldn't just get mad at you for nothing." Alex said frowning.

"Yea well I thought she'd be ecstatic at the idea." Chase replied looking at his shoes.

"You two do know that it's rude to talk about someone like they're not sitting right between don't you?" Andie asked sticking her head between them.

"Andie why are you mad at him?" Alex asked.

"I wasn't mad exactly." She said. "Just annoyed."

"What did I do to annoy you?" Chase asked. "It seems like all I do now is annoy you."

"No Chase it's not that." Andie said. "Life's just been a little crazy here of lately."

"Life?" Chase asked. "What life, you're dead."

Alex hit his brother upside the head. Glaring at him furiously, Alex turned back to Andie.

"What happened?"

"The birthday present Chase wants from me I can't give to him." She said softly.

Alex tilted his head, not fully understanding what the problem was.

"I don't get it." He turned to his brother. "Only you would ask for something impossible, what in the hell did you ask for?"

Chase didn't reply at first. He was staring at Andie.

"I don't understand why not though." He finally said completely ignoring Alex's question. "What's so bad about that?"

"You have no idea how bad it is." Andie replied. "It's not some joyous party that never ends. It's very far from that."

"I don't see how." Chase said. "You don't have to work cause you're richer than the Queen of England and the President put together, you have superpowers, you never age--."

"You become a monster!" Andie exploded making the Collins boys jump.

In the blink of an eye she was holding both Chase and Alex against the wall by the neck. The tip of their toes just barely touching the ground.

"You don't understand." She growled, her face changing before their eyes. "I could kill you both in the flick of a wrist, fix everyone's memory so that neither of you ever existed, and never lose a wink of sleep."

Neither Chase nor Alex chose to say anything.

"Is this what you want to become?" She asked the both of them. "Someone who kills to stay alive, a monster that is destined to live forever in misery, a fighter who constantly has to remind themselves that humans are people with feelings and thoughts and not just food."

Letting go of the both of them, she shook her head and retreated back to the couch. Curling her legs under her, Andie laid her head on the arm of the couch.

"The only way you'll ever become like me is if you get hurt, are dying and there is NO other option." She said quietly. "I won't force you to become something that is constantly hungry, constantly feared and constantly sad. I won't."

"But you'd rather watch us get old and then die!" Chase yelled back. "That's a catch 22 Andie!"

"I know." She replied. "Which is why it was a mistake making friends with you guys."

Both Chase and Alex were taken back by her words.

"Andie--."

Alex didn't get to finish whatever he had planned to say because suddenly there was a knock at the door.

Sitting up so fast that Alex and Chase didn't see her do it, Andie became as still as a statue before sniffing. There was no scent, no heartbeat, no sound of breathing.

"There's no one there." She murmured.

"But someone--something knocked." Chase said.

Andie didn't reply when the knock came again. Standing, she slowly started to make her way to the door. It wasn't possible, there should have been nothing there yet something or someone was knocking on her front door.

When she came within inches of the front door, Andie froze again to sniff. Maybe she had been mistaken and there was someone there. But after sniffing for what seemed like an eternity, she still found no scent, no heartbeat and no sound of breathing.

Grasping the knob, Andie stood behind the door and opened it about an inch. Just enough to peek through. There floating in midair on her porch was a pixie. This one had lime green skin and long golden blond hair.

"Would you mind opening the door a little more so that I can come in?" She asked in an irritated voice. "This sun is killing me."

Opening it another inch, the pixie soared past and into the dark house before turning to face the vampire.

"You're Andie right?" She asked.

Nodding, Andie tiled her head.

"And you are?" She asked.

"Rose," She replied. "I'm Fox's sister."

Raising an eyebrow, Andie surveyed her for a moment. She did hold the arrogance that Fox himself had.

"And what are you doing here?" She asked.

Rose looked at her for a moment, as if judging on whether or not she should tell her the reason she came.

"Fox has a message for you." She finally explained. "There's a dead body of a vampire in the sewer just north of here."

"Okay." Andie said. "What does he want me to do about it? Shouldn't it have turned to dust?"

Rose shook her head.

"It's in a part where no sun reaches." She said. "It's not burned nor is it's head chopped off."

"It's going to wake up soon." Andie said in realization. "Does he know if it's a newborn or not?"

"He says it can't be more than three days old." Rose replied. "As soon as the sun sets you guys should get down there."

Andie nodded.

"Boy or girl?" She asked.

Rose smirked.

"Boy." She said with a slight laugh. "That's why he wants you down there so quick, don't new born boys tend to be a little big more um revengeful than girls?"

Andie nodded running her hands over her face roughly. If this day got any worse then she'd consider disappearing and never coming back.

"Tell Fox we'll be there." Andie replied opening the door just and inch so the pixie could slip out of it.

"Will do." Rose replied before disappearing.

Andie sighed and leaned against the doorway.

"Andie." Alex asked quietly.

"Yes?" She murmured already knowing what he was going to ask.

"Can we come?"

--

Moose came downstairs to see Chase and Alex talking excitedly about something while Andie sat with her back against the front door and her face buried in her arms.

"Andrea?" He asked kneeling next to her. "What's wrong?"

"We have to go to the sewers tonight." She said softly.

"Why?" Moose asked confused. "I'm not going down in that hell hole."

"There's a dead newborn that's going to wake up soon because whoever tried to kill it didn't know what they were doing."

"Ah." Moose said know understanding.

He turned to look at Alex and Chase.

"Are they coming with us?" He asked.

"Yes." Andie said between gritted teeth. "I got tired of the whining."

Grinning, Moose went into the living room to sit and talk with Chase and Alex. He knew why his sister all the sudden seemed so aggravated. It had happened to him when he met Missy. They had been happy the first few months, then she started wanting to be turned. And he didn't want to turn her, he didn't want her to suffer like he, Andie and Shane had. But when she got the brain tumor he didn't think he could watch her die from that, she he granted her wish and turned her. But only because she was dying of the tumor.

"Andie's not happy with us." Chase said softly. "I don't know what to do Moose, it seems like everything I do upsets her."

"You want her to turn you no?" Moose asked.

Chase nodded.

"That's what's upsetting her." Moose replied.

Chase looked at him in pure confusion and Moose had to fight back a laugh.

"It upsets her that you want to become like her." Moose explained.

"Why though?" Alex asked. "That's the part I don't get, why does it upset her?"

"Because," Moose replied looking at his sister sadly. "Andie hates being what she is."

"Why?" Chase asked. "I think she's wonderful."

"You're in love with her." Moose said simply. "I've stopped hating what we are but Andie holds grudges longer than I do."

"How long exactly has she been holding this grudge against what she is?" Alex asked.

"About 250 years." Moose replied grinning.

"Why?" Chase asked. "What happened to her?"

"Back when we were first turned, we came across a bunch of freaks who were completely and totally convinced that we were vampires." Moose replied. "Back then we both were unaware of our strength and Andie killed a little boy."

Alex's eyes widened while Chase simply stared.

"How?" They both whispered.

"They had been playing……..

Andrea smiled as she watched her knew friend James who couldn't have been over seven years old through the ball towards her. Catching it, she smiled brightly at him causing the boy to burst into laughter before throwing the ball back gently.

"Andrea." He called. "Will you stay with me forever?"

Shrugging, Andrea looked to her twin who was sitting under one of the willow trees reading.

"It depends." She replied. "If my brother and I have nowhere else to go then yes we'll stay."

The boy gave a squeal of delight throwing the ball back to her. He ran a little ways back and opened his arms for her to throw it back. She did so and watched him chase after the ball when he missed it.

Time seemed to freeze all the sudden. Both Andrea and Robert heard the wheels of the carriage that was coming.

James did not.

And he was chasing the ball right into the path in which the carriage was meant to cross. If she ran at normal speed Andrea would not get to him in time. But she had not gotten the hang of the moving fast just yet.

Turning to stare at Robert with wide eyes, she made her decision quickly. She could not let him get hit.

It all happened very fast, the scream of James as his body came into contact hard with Andreas, the whines of the horses and the yells from inside the carriage when the scream was made.

Andrea rolled a couple of times in the grass, before lying completely still and listening as the humans started on their way again.

"James?" She whispered looking down at the boy was lying eagle spread across her chest.

His playful eyes were wide and his mouth open in a scream that he had not been able to finish.

Andrea's own eyes widened when she came into realization with what had just happened. Cradling the seven year old, Andrea squeezed her eyes shut. Willing him to just be playing with her and willing for him to start laughing at any moment.

"James." She whimpered.

Sitting up and shaking his body, she started to cry.

"Wake up," She whimpered. "Don't play games with me."

Shaking him harder, Andrea let her tears splash onto his face.

"This isn't funny!" She yelled.

A hand on her shoulder stopped her from shaking the boy even harder and Andrea turned to see Robert staring down at her sadly.

"It's okay Andrea." He whispered kneeling and pulling her into his arms. "It was an accident."

"I killed him." Andrea sobbed. "I killed him!"

"By accident." Robert replied. "You were trying to save him."

"Yet I killed him!" She yelled. "What good is it having these powers if I only hurt people with them?"

Robert didn't answer, instead he held on tightly to his older sister and buried his face in her hair.

"I killed him." Andrea continued to whisper as they both dug into the earth.

"It was an accident." Robert continued as well, he would not let her blame this on herself.

He watched as his sister cradled the body of the boy and kissed his forehead before lying him in the whole in the ground they'd made.

"I killed him." She whispered covering the boy with dirt. "I'm a murderer."

Robert bit his lip. He watched his sister lay her body across the grave.

"When you're ready to go." He murmured. "I'll be under the tree."

As he headed back over to the willow, Robert couldn't block the sound of his sister's voice as it floated with the wind.

"I'm so sorry James." She continued to whispered. "I killed him, I'm so sorry."

Robert just about jumped out of his skin when his sister's hand came to clip him around the back of his head.

"What was that for?" He demanded rubbing the back of it.

"You told them." She growled glaring at him. "Why?"

"Cause they have a right to know why everything about them seems to upset them." He replied.

Rolling here eyes, Andie turned and headed for the stairs.

"I'm going to go tell Shane and Missy where we're going."

"They're not coming?" Alex asked.

Andie shook her head.

"I want someone here to watch the house." Andie replied.

"Uh huh, watch the house or burn it down." Moose shot after her.

--

The trip to the sewer was a quiet one. Both Chase and Alex seemed scared to talk in fear they might upset Andie even more, Andie was about to off on them because they were never this quiet and Moose found it all very entertaining.

"Robert," Andie said taking a deep breath. "If that smirk doesn't leave your face soon, I'm going to do something so horrible to you that you'll never smirk again."

Chuckling, Robert leaned his seat back and put his hands behind his head.

"I just find it funny, like how you found it funny when it was me and Missy in this situation."

Andie rolled her eyes.

"It's not the same." She replied.

"It never is when you're the one it's happening to." Moose replied cheekily.

"Robert." Andie sighed in frustration.

"Alright, alright, I'll stop." Moose paused. "For the time being."

Andie growled deeply and Moose returned it.

"Sibling arguments never end good." Alex commented from the back seat.

"Usually they end in fights." Chase said.

"Eh the last time Andie and I fought we had to replace the entire living room." Moose said. "And this car is brand new, so we can't mess it up."

"Yet." Andie added with a smirk.

Moose shook his head and let out a sigh when Andie pulled into a parking space right by the entrance to the sewer.

"I could have stayed home and watched the house." Moose muttered. "Why didn't bring Shane or Missy?"

Andie rolled her eyes and shot him a look before climbing from the car. The others followed and the two humans instantly frowned at the smell. Andie and Moose squinted their eyes for about half a second before moving ahead, Chase and Alex following in their wake.

"So say that there is a newborn down here." Moose said as they took the steps down into the city. "What are we going to do with him?"

"Depends on how far gone he is." Andie replied. "Maybe, hopefully we'll be able to save him."

Moose nodded.

When they reached the bottom of the steps, they could see the water and sewage mixed together and they watched as it ran along a long drawn out corridor.

"Rose said he is in a place where the sun never shines." Andie muttered.

"There are the tunnels." Alex said. "The sun never shines there."

Andie nodded in thanks before starting to move carefully along the slippery corridor.

"Just imagine." Moose muttered to his sister. "If you were to fall--."

"Oh shit!."

Both Moose and Andie cringed as they listened to a pair of shoes slip behind them and someone came crashing down onto the sewage floor.

"Oh that is disgusting!"

Turning they both had to bit their lips in order to hold back laughter. Chase was sitting in the inch high sewage that had built up along the walk way.

"That is so nasty." Moose said shivering.

Holding in her giggles, Andie went over to him and held out her hand.

"Have a nice trip Boy Band?" She asked grinning.

"Shut up." Chase muttered as he grasped her hand and let her pull him to his feet.

"You can't get in my car." Andie said grinning. "You'll have to take off your pants."

"What? No way!" Chase exclaimed.

Andie laughed and patted his shoulder just as a horrible drawn out scream was heard not too far away from them.

Turning around fast, both Moose and Andie tuned their hearing up a bit. Closing their eyes, they sniffed and instantly caught scent of the new born vampire. He had no heartbeat but he was breathing.

Taking off in the blink of an eye, Andie left her twin with the humans. When she rounded the corner she saw a man sitting on his knees with his back to her.

"Hey," She said softly.

The guy jumped violently and turned to face her. His eyes were wide and fearful, the pitch blackness holding a hint of confusion. There was blood dripping from his mouth and Andie could see bruises all over his upper body since he had on no shirt.

"What's happening to me?" He asked in a shaky voice. "I can hear everything!"

"I know." Andie replied gently. "I can explain it all to you if you'd like."

When she stepped toward him, he scrambled away from her. Succeeding in hitting the wall hard and making a dent. He seemed shocked that he could do something like that and slid to the ground in shock.

"What am I?" He asked running a finger over the fangs that were poking out of his mouth.

"What do you think you are?" Andie asked gently as she squatted down next to him.

"It's not possible." He muttered. "They don't exists."

Placing a hand on his shoulder, Andie ignored the fact that he try to shake her off.

"Would it help if I told you that I am one too?" She asked.

"But it's not possible!" He yelled. "There are no such things!"

Andie tilted her head and studied the guy. He had sharp features, something she wasn't too sure whether or not the being turned had helped. His long blond hair was falling out of a ponytail and he had a after five look.

"What's your name?" She asked gently.

Becoming very still, the guy looked at her for a moment before staring off behind her into space.

"Tony." He said after a moment or two. "My name is Tony."

"Well Tony," Andie said. "My name is Andie."

"Andie," Tony repeated. "How did I get down here?"

Andie looked around at the disgusting place just as Tony did.

"I was hoping you could tell me." She replied finally. "What do you say to getting out here yea?"

Tony looked at her for a moment before nodding.

Andie stood up and slung his arm over her shoulder before pulling him to his feet. He was a vampire for sure, no human would this much.

"Who are they?" Tony asked suddenly as the two of them rounded the corner.

"That's my twin Moose, my boyfriend Chase and his little brother Alex." Andie said. "Don't worry they want to help you too."

Tony nodded still eyeing them warily through his pitch black eyes.

Andie blew air from her nose in frustration, but in the middle of her exhale she heard something behind her. Someone was back there, watching them. Spinning around so fast that she and Tony nearly went tumbling to the floor, Andie was met with the sight of Javier Mendoza. He was grinning madly at her and before Andie could let of Tony to hit him, he sunk his fist into her stomach. Andie felt flesh rip and wondered what he had hit her with.

But before she could do anything else pain started to spread through her stomach. It moved quickly, taking over her body. She heard her brother cry out as well and what sounded like a gate slammed shut. The yelling of Moose, Chase and Alex could be heard as Javier grabbed both Andie and Tony by the front of their shirts before they hit the ground. The ground moved under Andie as Mendoza began to drag her away from Moose. She could see him struggling to break down a gate, a gate that would have to have magic placed upon it for him not to be able to break it down. Andie looked down at her stomach, gagging slightly when her collar of her shirt choked her. There were six little dots that made a circle in the middle of her stomach, blood was oozing from them but it was the small pieces of silver that seemed to be clinging to her skin, embedding themselves in her that scared Andie. She continued to watch them as she was dragged away, knowing that as long as they were inside of her, she'd be helpless. She wouldn't be able to keep Javier Mendoza from killing her.
