Chapter 3

Dan's POV

"Looks like you're coming with me."

"What?" I look up at Phil, ultimate sorrow swirling in my mind. Phil smiled at me, his bright baby blue eyes sparkling as he said those words.

"I asked my friend if you could stay with us for a week since you have no place to go. He said it was okay." Phil said as he sat back down across from me. I was in complete shock. No one has ever been this nice to me.

"Phil...I really don't know what to say." I looked at him with tears in my brown eyes. Phil had to be the nicest person ever. I didn't deserve this. He was just simply too nice!

"You don't have to say anything. But there is a slight problem with you staying. PJ only has two rooms in his flat and, you know, one of them is PJ's room." He says as he nervously rubs the back of his neck. I immediately thought back to what my friend said on the phone. I sigh and look at the ground.

"I..um..you don't mind sharing a room with me, right?" I said and hoped he wouldn't turn me away. I wasn't gay. I was just sexually ambiguous. I didn't like putting labels on things like sexuality because it was really stupid. Phil looked at me and smiled.

"Of course not, Dan. I just hope the bed isn't too small. Though, I am a bit of a cuddlier in my sleep. Just a warning." Phil said and giggled. I sigh in relief and laugh with him.

Phil's POV

I just couldn't say no to that adorable face of his! I felt kind of bad as well. I hope things don't get too awkward with sharing a bed with a total stranger. It should be fine. I was just worried that I'll lose control in the middle of the night and attack him in his sleep.

We were silent for the rest of the train ride. It was a comfortable silence, though. We made more small talk until the train stopped and people started to get off. I got up and grabbed my bag while Dan did the same. We stepped off of the train and onto the platform.

"Okay, look for a guy about our height with dark curly hair and green eyes." I said to Dan and he nodded.

"Is that him over there?" Dan asked me, pointing over to one of the walls on the right side. I look and smiled. I could smell PJ's scent coming from over there as well. I knew it was him.

"Yep. Let's go." I said and led him through the crowd. I could tell Dan was nervous and a bit socially awkward. I wonder why he wasn't like that when he was alone with me. PJ spotted us and smiled, walking towards us. I was surprised PJ was maintaining a good front in front of so many humans. He recently started interacting with humans again, finding he could control himself a little better now. I was proud of him for that.

PJ went up to me and hugged me tightly. He buried his face into my shoulder and breathed in my scent. It would have been creepy if we weren't vampires but it was common to greet another vampire with a proper sniff. Though, to Dan I'm sure it just looked like we were just having a nice bro hug. And it was almost exactly like that. I hadn't seen PJ in a decade.

"I missed you, Peej." I said and smiled before pulling away from him. He smiled at me and then looked next to me at Dan.

"Well if this isn't homoerotic, I don't know what is." PJ said and I started giggling.

"No homo, right PJ?" I ask and he just winked at me. I knew he was joking. We've been friends for years and I saved his ass more than once. Dan stood their awkwardly, nervously laughing with us. I stopped laughing and put my hand on Dan's shoulder, causing him to jump slightly.

"PJ, this is Dan. Dan, this is PJ. He is the friend with the flate I was talking about." I told him. PJ nodded to him and they locked eyes. I couldn't tell if they liked each other or not because they had an odd staring contest but that ended when PJ broke his gaze.

"Lovely to meet you, Dan. We should go grab a taxi before rush hour hits." PJ said and smiled. I could tell he approved. But I would have to talk to PJ later about what happened on the train.

We waited for a cab and made some small talk. PJ and I didn't talk to much. We would catch up later while Dan wasn't in the room. We made it to PJ's flate ten minutes later and paid the cab driver. PJ led the way into his flat and unlocked the door.

"Here we are guys, sorry if it's a bit messy. Haven't had a chance to clean in a while." PJ said as he walked into the lounge. It was nice enough. Not to small but not too big either. Fortunately for us, PJ had a massive collection of video games. I honestly had a bigger collection but it was all still up north. PJ gave us a small tour.

"This is the lounge, in there is the kitchen, and in here is the hallway where your guys's bedroom is. Mine is just across the hall, so if you need anything just yell." PJ explained. I could tell he was getting anxious. He must have needed to feed. Since Dan was there, he was having a little bit of difficulty controlling himself.

"Thank you, PJ. Um, how about me and Dan get unpacked while you go out and pick up some food for tonight." I said and gave him a look, handing him some money. He honestly looked relieved.

"Okay, right, I will get on that right now." PJ said nervously and left the flate, leaving me and Dan alone. Dan looked at me suspiciously.

"What was that about?" Dan asked, confused as to why I gave PJ such a look before he left.

"Oh it was nothing. He just gets really nervous around new people." I said and laugh it off. Dan laughs with me a little. We then decided to check out my, I mean, our room. I was pretty nervous about sharing a bed with him but if he was okay with it, then so was I.

The room was pretty big. I was pretty surprised about that. The bed in the middle of the room was a queen size bed, much to mine and Dan's relief. I set my bag on the floor and breathed out a sigh.

"Well this is nice. At least we won't be so close to each other in the bed." I said and he looked at me with a small blush.

"Yeah true. That would be awkward." Dan said and set his bag on the floor as well. I knew PJ would be out for a little bit so I decided to talk to Dan a little more. Get to know him better. There was something about him that I liked but I couldn't put my finger on it.

"So, how old are you anyway? You look no older than twenty to me." I said and smiled as I sat down on the bed. Dan looked at me and chuckled.

"Haha, thank you but I'm 23. You look about my age." Dan said and he smiled at me. Why were his dimples so cute? Wait, what? Phil stop thinking about him like that!

"I'm..." I hesitated, forgetting how to count for a second. I recently turned 106 in January. That was technically the day I was 'Reborn' as we called it. But I preferred to use my actual birth date. Dan started laughing at me.

"What?" I questioned him.

"Do you not know how old you are?" He chuckled, smiling a big smile. I felt kind of embarrassed.

"Of course I do! I just turned 28 last week. It just took me a second to remember." I said and pouted slightly. He looked at me, kind of shocked.

"You don't really look 28. You look more in your early twenties than late." Dan said and I took that as a compliment. If he new my real age, he would probably be very impressed.

"Thank you. I like to think that I am younger than I actually am." I said and smiled. I then heard the front door open. Dan hadn't heard it but he looked at me when I perked up.

"I think Peej is back." I say and look at him. His smile got wider.

"Good! I'm fucking starving." Dan said and we got up from our spots on the bed and headed out into the lounge. Before we got even two feet into the hallway, PJ appeared at the entrance to the lounge, looking slightly panicked and almost winded.

"U-Uh, Phil? C-could I have a word with you alone..please? Dan could you please wait in the bedroom? It will only take a few minutes..." PJ said as he looked at me with pleading eyes. I turned to Dan.

"Please go into the room. This is probably really important and personal." I said and Dan looked at me and nodded.

"I understand. I hope everything is okay." He said and turned around, walking back into the bedroom. I turn to PJ.

"Okay, now what's wrong?" I ask, worried about the news being bad. It probably was. Or at least that's the vibe I was getting from PJ as he hurriedly led me into the lounge.

"Well...when I was out doing my thing and getting the food, I spotted some people. They...looked like ordinary people but I could tell they were Spotters..." PJ said as he sat down on the couch heavily. I gulped. No. Not Spotters. Not again.

"How did you know they were Spotters?" I asked as I sat down next to him. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

"I heard one of them talking on their phone. They were saying stuff like 'We will find those disgusting creatures and end them.' I...I'm scared, Phil. This isn't the first time we encountered Spotters before but I really wanted it to be the last." PJ said and I sighed.

"This is horrible news. We are going to have to be careful when we go out hunting." I said. Spotters were spies for the Vampire Hunter Society. They usually had at least one or two trained Hunters with them to take down the vampires they spot in a certain area or district. We don't know too much else about their society but we know that they are extremely dangerous. One of our close friends lost his life to a Hunter a few years ago. If they were in town, we were in serious trouble of being found out.

"What do you think we should do?" PJ asked. I thought for a moment and sighed.

"Lay low, don't hunt if we don't have to. If we run into them and they find us out, we fight back, simple as that." I said, my eyes turning a cold colour of blue. It wasn't like me to get this way. I was usually happy-go-lucky smiling Phil. But with serious situations like this, I had a whole other side to me. I turned to PJ.

"And DON'T kill. That isn't an option right now. We can't kill when we feed. Even if we wanted to." I say sternly, almost causing PJ to physically flinch.

"I know. I'm not stupid but..sometimes I can't control myself. I have very low self control. You know that." PJ said. I sighed. I felt guilty for being too hard on him sometimes.

"I'm sorry. I'm just a nervous wreck right now. With Dan being here and.." That's when I remembered the events that happened on the train. I looked at PJ.

"Speaking of Dan, how are you around his scent? Like...how strong does it smell to you and what does it smell like?" I ask and PJ looked at me, slightly bewildered at the question.

"Uh..well it's not that strong to me but it's there of course. And he smells like AXE deodorant. Why?" PJ said and I gave him an almost shocked look.

"So it's not that strong to you? And he doesn't smell like absolute heaven to you?" I ask, almost frantically. PJ was taken aback.

"What? No. He just smells like a normal human to me. Calm down. What are you on about?" PJ asked, giving me a worried look.

"Do you have any old books that any of the Elders gave you? I need to look at them." I said and PJ looked at me like I was crazy by the way I was acting. I really needed to know if it was true.

"Uh...sure. Just calm down and hold on. I'll be right back." PJ stood up and went into the small storage room in the back of the flate. I heard him rummage through some stuff and he came back with a thick, old looking journal. He handed it to me.

"Now what exactly are you looking for?" He asked as I frantically flipped through it. It couldn't be. Could it? I had to know.

I didn't answer him as I looked through all of the text. A lot of it was just the basics about being a vampire. I looked more towards the back and found it. I read through it several times before I clicked everything together. I gasped and dropped the journal.

I couldn't believe it. Dan, the human I had just met on the train, was my Bloodmate.
