Chapter Three

Okay, so here we were. Angel, Spike and myself walking in the dark Streets of LA, trying to find my missing boyfriend. Who was most likely a vampire too. Great. Now we can suck blood together! Yayyyy...

Not a chance.

This time the vampire hunting gang was under a bridge closeby Jason's home, so maybe he just got to drunk to go home and slept on a couch. I had no idea why a non-secret vampire hunting gang would be so out in the open. Oh well, it is easier for them not to get caught in broad daylight.

As we approached the gang I saw some of them smileing. They must really like Angel providing them with help. "Yo Angel!", One of them greeted him. With Spike and me they seemed a bit more cautious. But it instantly hit off with the group.

"Sorry to bother you so late at night, but we're looking for Jason", I said to them. I was a bit worried about him, if he ended up as a vampire too.. Damn.

Some of the guys looked around. "We haven't seen him in a few days, he missin'?", they asked. I sat down on a couch and sighed. I was ready to cry, this was horrible. Then I remember a certain someone who was a great detective herself.

My fashion-sensed, weird hair coloured, outgoing and always happy, bestie since we were 3 years old, Emma Averest. She's in college so maybe she's out partying like always. Hope she isn't to drunk to answer the phone.

I dialed her number and held my phone to my ear. "Hello? Kaily where the hell are you?! Everyone is worried", I laughed. Everyone? Who? Emma, my parents, Robbie, my friends. Which weren't so many. I had my squad excisiting out of Kayla Summers (no family of Missy), Janet Roberts and Silva Gonzales. Here and there some friends too.

"Okay, you're friends", Emma cleared. "Listen Emma, it's kinda a lot to tell you. I can't right now, I have an important question about Jason", I said to her, "Have you seen him? His mother is worried sick and she's blameing me for what happend to him", I could hear Emma getting mad. "I know it's unreasonable but I'm worried as well, Emma. I really need to know where he is", I said, almost pleading through the phone.

I bet vampires don't normally beg for anything, given these amazing non-human abilities.

Emma made a humming sound, which she always did when she was thinking deeply. Suddenly I heard the phone being taken over by someone else.

"Kaily?", my eyes widen. JASON? WITH EMMA.

"What the fuck?", I sweared out loud. It caused Spike and Angel to walk over to me. "Jason, why are you there? We're here with you're vampire hunting gang and they're also worried", I explained. Jason kept quiet through the phone.

I rolled my eyes but he obviously was troubled with something. "Listen, if you can, would you like to come over here? I need to tell you a lot and so does the guy who's looking for you".

Jason laughed. "Like the blonde dude looking for you and then biting you in you're neck? It was horrifying Kaily", he said. "I'm okay, I promise, just.. Please come here", I practically begged again. Man, I'm begging alot these past two, three days.

It stayed quiet again for a few minutes. But, since I'm immortal, I have time on my side.

"Fine, but.. I won't go home", he told me. I chuckled. I could imagine very, very well why he does not want to go home. We both hung up and I looked at Angel, full of relief.

"He's okay, and coming over to this place. He does not want to go home, actually", I explained. Spike laughed. Appearantly he doesn't like Jessica as well and totally understands Jason's point too. Angel understood it too and we waited for Jason along with the vampire hunting gang.

I couldn't help but ask what happend to Alonna. "The vampires attacked during day. They kidnapped Alonna. At night-time she came back an completely diffrent person. That's when we realized she was a vampire. Gunn did not want that for his sister and killed her", someone explained. I blinked. It made perfect sense. I mean, if I were Gunn and my sister would've been this... Thing... I would've killed it too.

Angel noticed me staring at the floor and placed a hand on my shoulder. "You okay?", he asked me. I shrugged. "I learned at an early age that vampires are in for human blood the second they wake up from their siring", Angel gave me a nod. "Why don't I have that urge?", I questioned him.

I'm dead serious. I don't have a soul and no interest in human blood. Angel sighed and sat down on the couch next to me. "I have a plan. I'm going to go to the bloodbank tomorrow night and steal a human bloodbag for you. Then we'll see how you respond to human blood. If you do not, we'll seek help. Alright?", he offered me. I tilted my head in curiousity.

"Are there vampire psychologists?", I asked. Angel chuckled a bit along with Spike. Was it so dumb what I asked?

Angel shook his head. "The higher beings", he told me. I nodded and smiled. Made more sense. I think. I dunno.

Jason seriously arrived half an hour later. Was he still partying there that it took him so long? Well, I was happy enough to see his car coming up the parking lot. He got out and I ran up to him. "You're an idiot", I said to him when he hugged me. I could hear him laughing. "Sorry that I got you worried, Kaily", he said to me. I looked up at him and smiled. "Well, you're mom started accusing me of you're missing", I said. Well, the dude had to know.

He narrowed his eyes and sighed. "I'm so sorry about her. But you know her; when she's worried, she'll even blame the cat for what happend", I chuckled. "Poor mr. Whiskers".

I gave Jason another hug. "So... You're not going to cheat on me again?", I asked. Jason frowned. "How do you?-",

"-That's why I was on my way to you that night. I found out and wanted to dump you", I explained. Jason sighed. "It was a stupid mistake I'm not going to make again", he said. I looked at Angel and Spike, hopeing then could sense if he was lying or something.

"I dunno. I can't trust you anymore", I said and released him. Jason understood and handed me his Phone. "Look in it", he said when I gave him a questionable look. I did. And found a text to the girl he cheated with. He said it was a mistake and did not wanted to lose me.

The date was from last week. A day after I 'died'. Wow. Okay... "Well, good job", I said and gave him his Phone back. "But.. I still don't trust you enough anymore".

Jason nodded. "Can we work on it?", he asked me. I shrugged. "Listen. Now that I'm a vampire, there are some things I need to work out and learn. I need to be able to survive on my own and with others. It's gonna take time and I can't really handle being in a relationship. What I'm trying to say is.. I want us to get some space.. Not a breakup, just.. I need to be alone now", I said.

Kinda wonky explanation but I suck at being honest. Jason looked as confused as can be. Which I totally get. "You just need to figure things out and not be a screw up?", he asked me. I sighed. "Sorta, yeah", I answered. I just wanna get it over with. Jason nodded. "I get that. I'll wait for ya Kaily", he said to me and placed his hand on my jawline. No, no, no.. Not now.

Yeah, Jason's kissing me right now and I can't help but give in. Another instinct kicked in and wanted to bite him? I pushed Jason back. Well, he's pissed. "What the hell?", then I noticed. I bit his lip. Oh darn. "I'm so sorry", I said in a pleading manner. Jason glared at me but lucky for me he calmed down.

"You're a vampire now, I should've remembered that", he said to me. Angel stood next to me and looked at me. "He might be the most tolerant human being I've ever met. I do have to tell you're mom we found you. Not only for you, but for also for Kaily not the be falsely accused anymore", he said. I smiled.

Being a vampire's apprentice isn't soo bad, yet.
