Hey everyone! I'm back with a new chapter! It took some time, because school has started again and yes, updates will become less frequent. Just be glad I have this much free periods, I write in those periods. And now the story! It will probably be the third or forth last chapter. Then I will start the sequel, which will be a much more interesting story, I promise! This is more like the starter for that story! But it's necessary for that story.

Chapter 4: Big Boom Stephen

Tirza quickly adjusted to life with the Mustrow family. Ilfert and Kevin were very proud of her. The first time they went shopping without Tirza losing control, Kevin even kissed her. The first few days after that incident were very awkward. They weren't talking to each other and they left the room if the other came in. Ilfert was chuckling at all of this. At one moment, when Tirza entered the sitting room with Kevin and Ilfert reading and turned around to leave, Ilfert couldn't help but think about young love. He was brought from his thoughts because he felt someone was glaring at him. It was Kevin. He answered Ilfert's thoughts with a scowl.

"Why are you thinking about young love? I'm not in love with Tirza!"

Ilfert couldn't help but show an amused smile. Kevin's scowl deepened.

"And I'm not in denial."

When Ilfert laughed, Kevin's scowl only deepened more.

After two weeks, Ilfert couldn't stand the constant avoiding anymore. When Tirza walked in on Kevin and Ilfert once again and was about to turn away, Ilfert shouted at her to stop.

"Okay, children, stop this nonsense this instance! This has been going on for way to long. Act like your age an behave! I'm not letting you out of this room, till you solved whatever the problem is between you!"

After that he pushed Tirza inside again and closed the door with a loud bang. There he waited till they would come out.

INSIDE THE ROOM

Both Tirza and Kevin were visibly tense. After a few seconds, Tirza looked like she would have blushed, if she was still human and looked down at her feet. Kevin didn't move and sat like a statue, the book forgotten in his hand. After a few minutes, Kevin started breathing again.

"You know… you should hunt if you're thirsty."

Tirza looked up, surprise evident in her eyes.

"But we can't get out of here, Ilfert is guarding the door, I'm sure of it."

Kevin smirked and gestured her to come closer. A second later she was standing next to him. He brought his mouth to her ear and whispered so soft that only Tirza could hear it.

"We have windows too."

They smirked at each other and Kevin opened the window as quiet as possible. When Tirza landed the floor, she giggled. Kevin's eyes widened, a warning sign and she looked at her feet. She didn't watch were she was going and after a few seconds of running, she bumped into Kevin.

"S-sorry, Kevin…"

Kevin turned around, smiled gently and grabbed her face with his hands. He hadn't been planning to do it at all, but he did. He placed his lips on hers. She froze from shock at first, but recovered quickly and responded. Tirza opened her mouth, when she felt a tongue licking her lips. Then their tongues fought for dominance. Kevin's won, but that was not important. Somewhere in this fight, Kevin had moved his hands to Tirza's hips. A burning feeling in her throat forced Tirza to stop. Kevin looked at her with lust filled eyes.

"What's wrong, Zaza?"

Tirza stared at her feet again.

"I'm thirsty."

It was nothing more than mumbling, but Kevin had heard with his vampire hearing. Now he noticed her head was filled with a longing for blood too. Kevin's eyes widened.

"Sorry, Zaza! I totally forgot about that! Quick, let's go."

Tirza frowned and inhaled deeply and then stopped breathing.

"Kev, let's not go, I smell human blood! It's very much blood."

Kevin frowned too.

"Maybe something's wrong with that human. Let's go and check it out, maybe we can help. Hold you breath, Zaza!"

Kevin and Tirza ran as quickly as possible to the place where they smelled the blood. Kevin guided Tirza, because she didn't have that much control, yet. When they arrived at the scene, Kevin gasped and Tirza covered her face with her sleeve.

A boy with a bodybuilder figure was lying on the ground, an axe in his leg, his whole body was bloody and he appeared to have many broken bones. Next to him was a thick tree and a tree stem. It told the two vampires that the boy had been chopping wood, but that a tree had fallen on him.

Kevin rushed to his side.

"He's alive, but barely. He probably won't make it."

Tirza's eyes widened.

"Maybe we should get Ilfert?"

Kevin shook hi head.

"No, he can't help it anymore. The injuries are too severe."

Tirza would have cried if she could.

"No, there must be something we can do."

Tirza was practically shouting now. Kevin frowned.

"Maybe…"

Tirza's expressing became hopefull again.

"Yes?"

Kevin sighed.

"Maybe… we can turn him.."

Tirza gave him a pleading look.

"Please Kev, please do it! It would save his life! I can't do it, I don't have enough control yet! Please!"

Kevin slowly nodded.

"Ok, please stop me, if I go too far."

Tirza nodded. Kevin brought his mouth to the boy's neck. He slowly bit down. He drank from the blood in big gulps. Suddenly he heard someone screaming and he was flying through the air and landed painfully against a tree. Kevin groaned, while he got to his feet again.

"Thank you, Zaza. Did it work?"

He didn't dare to breath anymore. The blood had been delicious, but he didn't want to know what would have happened, if Tirza hadn't been able to stop him. He shivered. A painful groan escaped from the boy's lips. After that he started screaming. Tirza's eyes widened.

"What do we do now? We can't leave him here!"

Kevin frowned.

"I think we have to do just that. His injuries are pretty bad. I'll stay with him, please get Ilfert. Hurry!"

Tirza didn't waste any time and ran away on full speed.

MEANWHILE WITH ILFERT

After Tirza's comment on him guarding, he hadn't heard anything. It had been silent in there for almost 30 minutes. He frowned and carefully opened the door. He was surprised to see nobody inside. The window was wide open. He cursed. He had forgotten all about it. He had heard some squeaks and creaks of course, but didn't think it suspicious. Just when he was about to turn around to search for them in the forest he heard the sound of approaching footsteps. They were fast and he noticed they were from only one person. He frowned. Hadn't they solved their problem yet?

He walked to the door and saw that the one approaching vampire was Tirza on newborn vampire speed. She looked very distressed. He frowned.

"What's wrong Tirza?"

She stopped in front of him.

"Quick, Ilfert, you have to come! Kevin and I found a wounded boy and Kevin turned him. What do we do now?"

Ilfert froze. Whatever he had been expecting, it was most certainly not this.

"Show me the way, Tirza."

She nodded and ran back into the direction she came from. Ilfert followed her.

Even before they reached the scene, they heard the terrible screams from the anonymous wood chopper. Both vampires were reminded of their change. Kevin had had it easy compared to them, Tirza had been the worst, nobody had cared about her, when she became a vampire. Kevin had Ilfert to care from him and Ilfert had had Sanguine, who had at least brought him to a place without humans.

When they arrived at the scene, Kevin was sitting next to the boy, frozen like a statue. Ilfert frowned when he saw the state the boy was in.

"I think it best to bring the boy to a comfortable bed, hear couch."

He put the boy in his arms. He was still shaking in agony. They ran back to the cottage and put the boy on the couch."

THREE DAYS LATER.

Tirza was sitting on a chair next to the couch. Kevin and Ilfert were out hunting. Suddenly she heard the heart of the boy speeding up. Tirza bit her lip. She knew that the change would end very soon. She didn't want to disturb the men on their hunting trip, but she had no idea what to say to the boy when she woke up.

His heart sped up even more and the boy gave a raw scream again. Tirza put her cold fingers on his forehead. Then after a few stutters, his heart gave up, The change was complete. The eyes of the boy flew open. They were red, like the eyes of all newborns. His expression was a mix of shock, surprise, amazement and confusion.

"Where am I? What is this? Who are you? What happened to me?"

He said this all very fast in a deep voice. Tirza smiled at him. The boy was clearly confused, not surprising, who wouldn't be in his situation?

"I am Tirza Mustrow, nice to meet you. You are in the cottage of me and my boyfriend, Kevin and our adoptive father, Ilfert. We found you severely injured in the forest here and…, and…"

Her voice trailed off. The boy frowned.

"I don't feel injured. But something else is going on!"

She put her hand on his arm to make him stop.

"Please listen. Me and my family are vampires. My boyfriend turned you, it is my fault. I just didn't want you to die. I'm sorry."

His eyes widened. Then he frowned again.

"No way, stop joking with me, it's not funny!"

He sat upright in half a second and blinked. Tirza petted him on the shoulder.

"See, it's not a joke."

He stared at her incredulously.

"How old are you?"

"I was twenty one when I was turned. I'm almost twenty-two now."

A cheery male voice came from behind the door.

"Did he wake up? Good, can I finally talk to him!"

The door opened and the two males were revealed.

Ilfert rushed to the couch and smiled.

"I'm Ilfer Mustrow. I see you've met Tirza already. Have you told him?"

Tirza nodded.

"He won't believe it, though."

The boy frowned, when Ilfert sat down next to him.

"Listen, what Tirza told you is true. She's the newest addition to our family. Kevin here was turned when he was seventeen, he's now 22. I was 26 and I have been for almost 300 years."

The boy blinked rapidly.

"Woah, so old! So this is all real?"

The three other vampires nodded. The boy shook his head.

"Oh, or this real, or I'm going mad. By the way, I'm Stephen Collan. I'm seventeen. I lived in a family with seven daughters and one son, me. I was chopping wood, because we were so poor that we couldn't afford the wood anymore. I would do it very often, but this time I was a bit under the weather. I had a coughing fit, just when a tree fell down. And then I woke up next to this charming girl and she told me I was a vampire. Ulgh, this day is really strange, are you sure this is not a dream?"

The three looked at each other and then smiled at Stephen. Then Ilfert grabbed his hand at vampire speed and although Stephen could clearly see it, it did convince him.

"I believe you."

He shook Ilfert's hand and Ilfert smiled a bigger smile at him.

"Welcome to the family."

Suddenly Stephen erupted in a booming laugh.

"Pretty strange family this is, an old geezer, a huge guy and a loving couple, who all look like super models."

Now even Kevin and Tirza erupted in laughing. Ilfert arched a brow.

"And the old geezer is a doctor too…"

And he started chuckling too.

Hooray for free periods. I put this on the computer in my free periods. It took two of them! Please review!
