Surgery lasted for 16 more hours, Frank was only there for about 6 more hours after the incident. Trapper and Hawkeye worked on most of their patients together and got them done quickly. When the final patient came in Henry said he would take care of it.
"Thanks Henry I gotta get some sleep," Hawkeye stretched.
"Yeah thanks Henry I'm beat," Trapper took off his mask and yawned. They walked out of O.R. to the scrub room and took off their blood soaked surgical gowns.
"Trap remind me to give that man a medal hopefully Margaret doesn't get him into to much trouble," Hawkeye put on his fatigues.
"Franks jaw was so swollen, Henry does deserve that medal," Trapper said while putting on his own clothes, "but I get this feeling every time he walks into a room,"
" Yeah how so,"
"Its like when you told me about your mother was Angel, I knew then why I had that feeling,"
"Are you saying Henry is also a vampire,"
"I don't know,"
"How many vampires can there be?"
" Not many, when Angel was alive I knew of two others but they were in Europe,"
" Well how did you become a vampire,"
"I was born one, both my parents were but when I was younger they both died,"
"Wow, I didn't know that, but how did they die,"
" The other vampires killed them because of... I really don't know why," Henry came through the door. Hawkeye and Trapper were quiet.
"I lost him, he lost to much blood before I could operate and I couldn't save him,"
"You tried Henry, that's all that really matters," Hawkeye got up and patted Henry on the shoulder.
"Damn it, that kid didn't look any older then 16,"
"Come on Henry I'll buy you drink," Hawkeye said while pointing to the door.
"Naw, that's ok you go on ahead," Henry said while taking of the surgical gowns.
"See ya Henry," Trapper said while following Hawkeye out of the door. They reached the swamp and of course Frank wasn't there.
"You know that feeling you were talking about,"
"Yeah,"
"Well I got it," Hawkeye said while pushing his hair out of his face.
"Yeah me to,"
"We got to find out if that feeling is right,"
"If he's older then me we stand no chance you know that,"
"What do you mean,"
" Older vampires are stronger and wiser then younger ones,"
"Yeah go on,"
"So if Henry is older then me we're doomed,"
"What if he doesn't want to kill us," Hawkeye poured himself a drink, he took a sip. "Is it just me or does this taste even worse then it did earlier." Trapper grabbed the glass and took a drink.
"No tastes fine to me," Hawkeye took another drink and set the glass down.
"God that's horrible," He wiped his lip. Trapper pulled out a deck of cards.
"Why don't you get some sleep,"
" I'm not tired anymore," Hawkeye sat down and picked up a magazine. "Shouldn't we be planning how to find out if Henry's a good guy,"
"If you give me a minute I'll think of something," Trapper started to play solitaire. Hawkeye sat there looking toward the top of the tent. He felt a sharp pain in his mouth, "Ouch what the hell was that,"
"What was what," Hawkeye got up and looked in the mirror. He seen he had his dark blue eyes and fangs again and grabbed his mouth covering it. "Hawk what's the matter,"
"Trapper look at my eyes, what color are they," He said with his hand still covering his mouth.
"And let me guess what your hiding," Trapper said removing Hawkeye hand. Fangs peeked out of his mouth.
"Quick how do I get rid of them," Hawkeye said while looking back into the mirror.
"What are vampires famous for doing,"
"You cant be serious, can you, I'm not going to harm any living creature especially the nurses," He said backing up a bit.
"There are other ways of getting blood," Trapper said while motioning toward the door.
" I'm just supposed to walk around the compound with these, these things coming out of my mouth and then go straight to where we keep the blood for surgery,"
"Yep,"
" Your absolutely out of your mind,"
"Just come on," Trapper said while walking out of the swamp. Hawkeye was reluctant to follow, he kept his hand over his mouth the whole time. They reached the blood vault and Trapper pulled out a bottle of blood.
"Here you go,"
"I'm not drinking that you cant make me," Hawkeye turned so his back face Trapper. He had his eyes closed and opened them slightly to see Trapper already standing in front of him. Hawkeye jumped slightly.
"Don't you want to grow and become a strong little vampire," he patted Hawkeye's head. Hawkeye opened his mouth to say something and Trapper shoved the blood into Hawkeye's mouth. He coughed and tried to get it of his mouth.
"You dirty fiend," Hawkeye said while wiping the side of his mouth to get the rest of the blood off of him. There was another slight pain, Trapper noticed Hawkeye's eyes went back to normal.
"It helped though didn't it," Hawkeye looked at him angrily and then left the supply room. He ran for sometime he knew he was out of the compound and knew Trapper wasn't far behind him. There was a noise to his right, Hawkeye stopped abruptly and looked toward the shadows.
"Come out, I know your there," Hawkeye stood like he was ready to fight. A low laughter came from all directions.
"You pathetic excuse for a vampire," came a venomous voice.
"Who are you, what do you want," Hawkeye screamed. Trapper appeared in front of him, it was like he just came out of nowhere and placed his arm in front of Hawkeye.
"Stay back," he commanded showing his fangs.
"I can be of some help," Hawkeye pushed Trappers arm out of the way. He felt some sort of anger building up inside of him. Then he felt them, his fangs once more.
"So little Benjamin has gotten his fangs," the voice seemed to be closer to them. Trapper gave a quick glance toward Hawkeye and seen his fangs.
"How do you know who I am," Hawkeye screamed.
"I know everything," The voice got even closer and then a figure appeared in front of them. Hawkeye was not yet used to his new eyes, he squinted them and still couldn't see who or what it was.
"It's Henry," Trapper said while getting in front of Hawkeye.
"I cant's see its two dark," he squinted his eyes.
" Hawk just focus, cant you feel him," Trapper took a glance toward Hawkeye. Hawkeye just kept squinting his eyes.
" Are you two done," Henry took a step closer so Hawkeye could see him.
"Henry what do you want with us," Trapper stood straight up.
"When I first felt the presence of you Trapper I was intrigued, then when I felt Hawkeye I knew something was different about him" Henry said while taking a few steps closer.
"Different how," Hawkeye yelled to him.
"Your power is stronger,"
"What how, I just turned into a vampire Trapper's been one for over 200 years,"
"That's what was so interesting," Henry was now close enough to them that Hawkeye was able to see his fangs and light blue eyes.
"Can we all just put our fangs away and settle this," Hawkeye looked straight at Henry. "Or are you going to kill us,"
"I'm not going to kill you yet,"
"Like that's supposed to make me feel better,"
"You act just like your mother," Trapper looked toward Hawkeye.
"Trap this not the time,"
" Will you two just shut up,"
" If your not going to kill us what do you want,"
" 30 years ago before your mother died she made me and asked me to teach you about being a vampire," He gave a half-hearted smile. Hawkeye walked over to Henry.
"My mom turned you into a vampire so you could train me,"
"Guess so,"
"Then what was all that back there about," Henry just shrugged.
"I wanted to see how well you'd react, I can't believe you guys thought I was actually going to kill you,"
"I never thought you could act so tough," Hawkeye patted him on the back. Henry gave a smile. "Trapper how do I get rid of these this time," he pointed toward his fangs.
"You just have to relax," Trapper told him.
"Let me guess, you want me to think about children playing through fields of flowers," Hawkeye said while closing his eyes.
"Yep," Both Henry and Trapper said in unison. A minute later Hawkeye's fangs were gone and he opened his eyes. Henry and Trapper had already started walking back to the compound, Hawkeye ran to catch up with them. When they reached the camp Henry asked Hawkeye to come with him to the blood vault.
"No, no, no, no I was there once and I'm not going back," Hawkeye answered back.
"If it makes you feel better Trapper can come,"
"That's why I don't want to go back," He gave a angry look towards Trapper.
"What," Trapper shrugged.
" Come on you two," Henry pleaded.
"Henry I'll go on one condition,"
"What now,"
" You tell me how you knew my mother,"
"That's what I was going to talk about," Henry started walking. Hawkeye followed and motioned for Trapper to come. He reluctantly followed and walked next to Hawkeye without saying a word until they reached the supply room.
"Ok Henry spill it," Hawkeye said while sitting down on a pile of blankets.
" Yes well, I met your mother in Maine, she was a great person,"
"Yeah go on,"
"We used to go out almost every night and go to clubs and parties, until one night she said she couldn't come and well I followed her because she sounded scared over the phone," He turned and took a couple steps. "Well I followed her to make sure she wasn't in any trouble, she drove halfway across the state,"
"Keep going," Hawkeye leaned forward.
" She got out of her car and looked around to see if anyone was there and then she went down a nearby alley-way, So naturally I followed her, and well I wasn't the quietest of all people," he kept pacing around the room. "She was on me in a flash, had me pinned to the ground and everything, I was scared out of my mind I didn't know what was happening, she got off me and started to walk back to her car,"
*^*^*^Flashback
"Angel please wait," he said while running up to her.
"No Henry stay away from me," She pushed him to the ground and kept walking. Henry got back up a chased after her.
"Please wait," he called after her. She turned around slowly and it appeared as if she was crying, but her tears were not the normal salty one they looked as if they were made of blood.
"No Henry I will only hurt you,"
"How could you hurt me,"
"In more ways then you could imagine," She started walking again, but this time it wasn't toward her car it was toward Henry. He embraced her, giving her a gentle hug.
"Oh Angel," he spoke quietly. She picked her head up slightly and bit him hard in the shoulder. He winced in pain and slowly lost consciousness. He had awoken sometime later in the backseat of Angel's car.
*^*^*^*^End Flashback
" I was so weak I could barely move," Henry looked toward Hawkeye. " She looked at me with sadness in her eyes,"
" So when did she turn into a vampire,"
"I was just about to get to that," Henry kept pacing around.
