Under The Influence
DON'T OWN CHARACTERS OR MAKE MONEY SO DON'T SUE!
It had been a few weeks since 'the incident' as House had dubbed it, when Chase had first heart him call it that he couldn't help but laugh.
House had asked what was funny and he couldn't help but tell him. "You managed to some an emotionally turmoil situation and death of one of the nurses, as well as finding out Vampires really exist into… into the incident. You're a bloody bastard House… an egotistical bloody bastard!"
House had laughed too at that before saying "Well duh!" and walking away, swatting Chase on the ass as he went.
They were all sitting waiting for a case when House walked in and looked at all of them puzzled.
Cameron stopped what she was doing and looked attentively at House.
She was like a puppy who just wanted their owners love… When House saw her look he rolled his eyes before telling her… "Cameron dearest… I'm afraid our love is no more…"
House dramatically placed the back of his palm on his forehead before continuing, "… I'm… I feel I must tell you that recently I engaged in acts of a sexual nature with another man and ever since then my loins ache for no man but him"
Cameron blushed bright red, her ears turning pink, trying to speak but only ending up looking like a fish out of water.
Forman, hearing House's words rushed in, "Man? You and another… MAN! I didn't think your stick swung that way" Forman laughed at his own joke, nobody else did.
"Why Forman, should you really be asking about another mans wood? Surely the "boys" would think less of you?" House replied smugly, Forman's grin faded fast.
House limped closer to the table walking around behind Chase before stopping and limping off to the whiteboard.
"Right new case! Symptoms are sudden out of mind experiences, increase in lust, confusion, loss of blood, bruising on the neck and of cause… the best sex ever!" House turned around to the group and when nothing was said shouted, "POSSIBILITIES PEOPLE!"
Cameron was the first to as a question, "What's the patient's name?"
House looked at her and decided the look was better than any response he could have gave.
Forman looked up, "Lupus?"
House mentally groaned before walking over to Forman, "Listen to me Forman and listen good, it's Never Lupus! Got that, or do I need to tattoo it into your forehead?"
Forman nodded his head before saying, "House, these symptoms don't make any sense? There could be hundreds of possibilities, for any one of those symptoms but all together they don't fit anything!"
House studies Forman before smiling, "Of cause they do, you're just not smart enough to know, silly undereducated black man, such a waste!" Forman growled inside.
House limped back to the whiteboard before turning around, his eye's landing on Chase who had his head down keeping to himself.
"Ah, Wombat, maybe the British might know?" Chase lifted his head, smirking inside, he wasn't going to make this easy on House, "I don't know what it could be, I haven't heard anything like it. Are you sure this is a real case?"
House internally groaned, 'great the kid wasn't playing fair'. "Oh come on, you must have heard of something, I hear Britain has loads of strange illnesses, can you think of any?"
Chase paused as if to think for a while, Cameron and Forman watching intently, before Chase finally looked back at House, "Actually, I did hear of a strange case involving an ice cream truck and toppings. Apparently the guy had…"
House cut in, "Fine! Don't play fair, just know that means consequences!"
House sent Forman and Cameron off to such all the knowledge in the world to find out the mysterious illness.
Once they had gone he cornered Chase. "So we meet again Mr. Wombat!" Chase turned to look at House who was making weird movements with his hands.
"What are you doing" Chase asked pointing to the movements.
House looked at Chase in disbelief, "I'm stroking my cat, meow!" Chase just sighed, "Is there a specific reason that I'm still here"
"Well… maybe God has plans; he might want you to do something great Chase. He might have mighty..."
"HOUSE! Will you just…" Chase's shoulders slumped
"Chase, look… have you noticed anything… unusual recently?"
"Like what?"
"Well… I don't know, cows in fields dying"
"House!"
"I'm not sure okay! I just have this feeling and when I'm around you its stronger so if you do see dead cows, run, call me and run, although not in that order specifically okay?"
Chase nodded "Okay"
House walked away feeling the most dread he had ever experienced, he made sure it didn't show as he didn't want the Wombat anymore freaked out than usual.
He had been having dreams for the last couple of days, he knew they were dreams, they HAD to be, it's just… they felt so real.
He was stalking his pray, gliding through the shadows, twisting in and out, over roofs, jumping, spinning… then he was in a room, hiding in the shadows.
He was watching someone, they were asleep. Two of them. He moved closer, until he… no!
They must have been dreams, he would not have killed, he wouldn't, but the blood, there was so much of it, slipping down his throat, sickly think, sickly delicious.
House rubbed his eyes. No, he didn't murder! Every night House woke up, he saw the different faces in his sleep but this last one was the worst.
This one made him regurgitate everything he had in the last year.
This one frightened him the most. There was no blood, no murder, no nothing. Nothing but watching, nothing but watching someone tossing and turning in their bed.
Crying out in what smelt like terror, sweat trailing down his body.
The man he watched trying to escape the terrors of both his nightmare and his bedding and failing in both.
His dream disturbed him as he was standing in the shadows watching Chase, and he was disappointed that he couldn't touch, taste or own him. That scared him!
Chase walked along the car park heading towards his car. He stopped as the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.
Turning around he saw nothing but he could feel someone watching him. 'Don't see any dead cows' he thought, shrugging the feeling off he unlocked his car and slid into the drivers seat.
It took Chase a while to get home as he kept looking over his shoulder making sure he wasn't being followed. He could see no car following him on his journey but by the time he got home he was certain that he wasn't alone.
Slamming his door behind him Chase rested for a second before turning around and running to the phone.
"House?"
"This is he" came the familiar voice
"House its Chase; you were right something's going on. I was followed home, I think whoever it was is outside. What should I do?"
House listened more intently as Chase identified himself. Hearing the panic in his voice House prepared to get over there as soon as possible.
"Don't open the door Chase okay? I have a key but whatever you do, Don't. Open. The. Door!" with that House hung up and headed to Chase's as fast as his legs could carry him.
When House hung up Chase put down the phone before going to every window, making sure that they were locked and shutting all the blinds. Once that was done he walked back to his living room to wait for House.
"Greg will be here shortly" Latrommi's voice startled Chase, who fell of the sofa onto the floor as he tried to turn around but succeeded in falling instead.
Chase gulped, "How did you get in here?" Latrommi smiled, "I have my ways. Many, many ways"
Latrommi walked around to the over side of the sofa, where Chase was sitting on the floor, "Wouldn't you be more comfortable on the sofa?" He asked.
Chase sat there stunned, "You followed me?" Latrommi nodded yes, "Why?" Chase was genuinely puzzled by the vampire's behavior. "Because my child, you are special, that and I want you! You… interest me!"
"How do you know House is coming over? Have you tapped my phone?"
"Don't be so crude, no, I know where Gregory is because I'm with him, I'm a part of Gregory now. We are linked"
"What? How? When?"
"When I tasted him of cause"
"Can it be undone?"
"No, unless you include death and if that's what you're thinking of then I'd think again. There is no way you would be able to harm me."
"I-I could stake you… In the heart!"
"You could try"
"Sunlight?"
"No, I'm too old for that, it only irritates and makes me cranky"
"Crosses?" Chase asked hopefully, Latrommi laughed
"Do I get the feeling you wish me dead Robert?" Chase looked away, "That will soon change" he continued.
"I doubt it"
"It will, once Gregory arrives many things will change" Latrommi ever so quickly pinned Chase to the floor with no effort at all.
Lowering himself to Chase's neck he licked it, slowly once, causing Chase to shiver, "I bet you taste so delicious, mouthwatering. It will be so good so pure and I will enjoy every moment of it because once it's done, I won't see you very often but your life and my… existence will have changed so much. You will be the first in a long, long time. Your kind are virtually nonexistent Robert. You are the last of your kind and the father of what should be many more!"
"I don't understand, what are you saying?" Chase was utterly confused.
"I must go now Robert, but the next time we meet… well everything will change"
With that said Latrommi kissed Chase forcefully on the lips before pulling back. When Chase stood up there was no sign of him anywhere, it was if he hadn't been there to start with.
When House arrived he found a panicked Chase who he eventually managed to calm down a little.
"What do you mean were both connected?" asked House after Chase's speedily delivered story, "That's what he told me, he said he knew where you were because ever since he drank some of your blood his been able to know!"
"What you mean he like see's what I see? Out my peepers?"
"I don't know gawd I hope not!"
"It could just be a feeling"
"It doesn't matter what it is exactly… he just… knows" Chase made waving hand gestures again.
House frowned, "So he's planning to suck you dry neck time?"
"No, I don't think so. I think… I think he wants to turn me"
"Well I can understand where he's coming from"
"House!" gasped Chase
"O come on, you most definitely taste delicious, I mean just looked at you… If I had a basket of eggs I'd fry them all over your body because you're HOTT!"
Chase blushed, "Give over House!"
House stopped laughing eventually and shuffled closer to Chase, "I guess this means I need to keep a closer eye on you then?" Chase tried to smile, "Yeah… House? I'm scared!" House nodded, he was freaking terrified!
