Sorry for the delay in updating but I decided to finish one of my other stories before continuing this one.

Thanks for the great feedback I have been getting I was a little worried people might not enjoy it as it is a bit different from my other stories but so far the response has been great.

Quick warning there is a little naughtiness towards the end of this chapter but I didn't want to change the rating just yet. Sorry if some people don't like this, but if you have read my other stories you will know this is tame compared to what I normally write .

Chapter 7

6 Days before Sunrise

"We better get out there with everyone else," said Olivia. "Let them know we need to move."

"Yeah," said Elliot.

"What we going to tell them, about why we are going to Devon's place?"

"Just that we will be safer there, it's smaller and easier to keep everyone together. We can't tell them the truth," said Elliot walking over towards her.

Olivia turned to head to the door when she stopped "El…. Wait a minute. You said that Martin told you Devon had gone to get help."

"Yeah."

"El, Devon is dead!"

"I know that Liv."

"So why didn't you tell Martin that. He thinks Devon is going to get help, when in fact he is dead and torn apart outside his house."

"That's just the thing," said Elliot standing in front of her. "He was gone."

"What do you mean he was gone?"

"Him… the dogs all gone."

"But how?"

Elliot shrugged. "I don't know but he was. There was nothing there."

Olivia took hold of his hands "Why didn't you tell him about Devon though."

"Liv, Martin thinks Devon is off trying to get help. I was worried if he knew he was dead, that… that he might just bale on us, he is the only one capable of getting away from here. We need his help. He is the only one who knows what we are up against. We can't do this alone. We can't keep everyone safe by ourselves. When I saw Devon's body was gone I made a choice not to tell him."

They both jumped when the door behind them slammed shut.

"Martin," said Olivia. "How did you…. How much did you hear?"

"Olivia I heard everything," he smiled at her sadly as he walked towards them.

"Shit," said Elliot shaking his head. "Look I couldn't tell you, we need your help."

"I already knew," he told them.

"You knew!" said Elliot. "So why tell me he was going to get help?"

"I'm not as strong as you think I am. I'm weak compared to coven that is here. If we are going to keep the folk of this town safe I need help. I have watched the two of you, you're both strong and determined."

"So why the hell lie!" yelled Elliot. "If I hadn't already known I would have thought help was on its way."

"I needed you to have hope. I needed you to believe people were coming to help us. I didn't know how you would react if you thought we were in this alone."

"How long have you known about Devon?" asked Olivia.

"Since Elliot went into the house to get those two little girls. I went over to check the place was still safe for us to go there, that's when I found him. I didn't know you already knew so I quickly moved the body."

"Whether there was help coming or not we would have helped you keep this town safe, we will help you, you didn't need to lie."

Martin chuckled, "You're really gonna give me shit about lying? Look, we all want to keep this town safe so why don't we just do that."

"Martin," said Olivia. "You said you weren't as strong as the other, the Erm the other…."

"Vampires," smirked Martin.

"Yeah them, why? I mean from what Elliot has told me what he has seen your fast and strong."

"Compared to you folk, yeah I am. But against the others," he shook his head. "I don't feed like they do. I live a lot of the time on animal blood. Which is okay, but it doesn't keep me really strong like human blood does. I only drink human blood every now to keep me alive. Devon was my donor. I would feed from him every few weeks."

"He let you drink his blood?" asked Elliot.

Martin nodded. "We can only survive on animal blood for so long but we need human blood, otherwise we become weak and eventually we will die."

"And Devon willingly gave it to you?" asked Olivia. "Why? Why would he just let you drink his blood?"

"Because he wanted to help me," said Martin dropping his head.

"Martin, why do you care so much about helping the people of this town?" asked Olivia walking up to him.

"What do you mean?"

"Well you don't need to help them, you could just leave, so why are you staying?"

Martin walked over to the desk and picked up the bottle of whisky, opened the bottle and took a long drink as Olivia and Elliot just stood side by side and watched him.

"I was born here….." Olivia went to speak and Martin held up his hand. "Just let me talk," he smiled at her. "I was born here…..109 years ago."

Olivia looked at Elliot her mouth open, Martin only looked the same age as them.

"Devon wasn't just my friend he was my, my great, great grandson."

"Your great, great grandson?" asked Olivia.

"Yeah," he sighed sitting on the edge of the desk. "I was born here, married here and had a son here. I was 39 years old when I was attacked and turned. My family put it down to an animal attack or I got lost out in the blizzard when I didn't come home. I would sneak back to the town and check on them from time to time. I wanted to come home so much but how could I. I hadn't aged, my son was finally older than me and my wife died. My son had his own family, I even attended his funeral from a distance. I kept a check on them all these years. All the family moved away from here finally except Devon, he loved it here and stayed in the family house."

"When did you finally come back here?" asked Elliot.

"I made contact with Devon 22 years ago. He was only a kid just gone 19. He worked out at the power plant. He was coming home one night after drinking with the guys. He crashed his car and flipped it. I pulled him out of the wreck, he was unconscious. I took him home and stayed with him. When he first opened his eyes he thought I was his dad, because I looked so much like him," smiled Martin.

"What did you tell him?" asked Olivia.

"The truth. He didn't believe me at first, it took a while and a lot of explaining."

"Why tell him?" asked Olivia. "You didn't need to tell him who you were or what you were."

"I wanted to come home," he said sadly. "I never wanted this, I never wanted to leave. I never asked to become a monster," he sighed. "It took a lot of talking, a lot of explaining but finally Devon came around. I would leave and come back to visit. I wanted to stay but it's hard to do when you don't age the same as everyone else."

"When did you come back here to live?" asked Elliot.

"8 Years ago. I stayed away from the town folk as much as possible and tried not to mix too much with them so they didn't notice the aging thing. Because I was staying in town Devon offered me his blood to keep me strong, and now….. Now he is … shit," he said dropping his head into his hands. "I can't believe he is gone," he said his voice cracking. "They killed him because of me. Everyone I love is dead," he stood up and started pacing. "Do you have any idea what it's like to watch everyone you love die. My wife, my son, grandkids great grandkids….. I hate it, I fucking hate it!" he yelled throwing the whisky bottle against the wall and smashing it into tiny bits. "Those bastards took everything from me and they are going to pay," he snarled. Olivia and Elliot both looked at him as his eyes turned red and his fangs grew. Olivia moved back against Elliot who put his arm around her protectively. "You want to know why I'm staying here. I want revenge. I want to kill every single one of them for what they have done. I want to make sure nobody else in this town has to go through what I did."

He turned away from them and put his hands against the wall and took a deep breath calming himself down. "I'm going to take these fuckers on with or without your help," he told them. "But I got to tell you it would be easier with your help." He turned to face them, his eyes were blue again and his fangs gone.

"You have our help," said Elliot. "We came here to do a job and that's what we are going to do."

Martin nodded and gave a small smile.

"However I think we should tell some of the others," said Olivia. "The more people we have the better. We should tell Arnie and Mark at least."

"You think they will believe us?" asked Elliot.

Olivia shrugged "We believed it." she turned back to Martin. "You said you're not as strong as the others because you don't drink human blood."

Martin nodded. "The last time I had any human blood was over 4 weeks ago. Devon hadn't been too well so I didn't drink from him, it would have made him worse." Olivia nodded and Elliot knew where she was going with this. He stepped forward.

"Feed from me," he told Martin. "If you need human blood to make you stronger, then feed from me."

Martin looked at Elliot and then Olivia. "You're sure?"

Elliot nodded "We need you to be strong."

"It will make you weaker though, at least for a few hours."

"We will get to Devon's place first and secure it. Once we are safe then you can feed. I will then be able to rest."

"Thank you," said Martin.

"Elliot I didn't mean for you to … I was going to….."

"I know you were," he smiled. "But I'm bigger than you, stronger and there is more of me."

"He is right," said Martin. "It would make you a lot weaker for a lot longer."

Olivia nodded "But Elliot will be okay wont he."

Martin nodded "I will be gentle," he smiled. "Now we should get moving and get everyone to Devon's."

Present Day

"I need some fresh air," said Olivia standing up and stretching. "You fancy heading out for a bit?"

"Sure," said Munch standing up. "Why don't we take a walk and grab a bite to eat whilst we are out."

Olivia nodded and they grabbed their coats. Olivia went over to the table and picked up the two guns, putting one down the back of her jeans. She looked at the other one and held it out to John.

"It might be dark the time we come back," she told.

John hesitated before taking it form her "Better safe than sorry Huh," he said putting it in his coat pocket.

"Yeah….. Do you mind if we have a break from talking about what happened until we get back."

"Sure," he smiled at her putting his hand on the small of her back as they left her apartment.

They walked slowly through the streets the winter sun warming them up. They talked Elliot and about the old days and old cases as they walked. Olivia wasn't really taking notice of the direction they were taking until they reached the gates of the cemetery. She stopped and looked at John.

"John," she said a warning tone to her voice.

"You need to Liv," he said looking into the cemetery.

"No I don't," she said turning to walk away. John reached out and grabbed her arm.

"You need to say goodbye."

"How can I say goodbye when I don't know what happened? What am I saying goodbye to, there is nothing there, and Elliot isn't in there."

"I just thought it might, I don't know," he sighed. "I don't know what I was thinking," he rubbed his face as he talked.

Olivia reached out and took hold of John's hand. "I won't say goodbye to him until they have his body. Until I see it for myself. Until then I will always believe he is out there somewhere, and I will never give up on him."

"You really think he is still alive."

Olivia looked up at him. "I … I just don't think he is dead, you know."

John took hold of her hand and looked towards the cemetery before leading her away. "Yeah I think I do know," he told her.

Xxxxxxxxxxxx

"You ready to leave?" John asked her putting his coffee cup down.

"Yeah, all done," she smiled standing up. After the cemetery they had gone for some food and they had totally avoided any conversation about the last few months. They paid the bill and walked outside into the cold night air.

They both stood in the doorway and looked out into the dark street.

"24 hours ago, walking the streets at night didn't bother me," said John. "Now….."

"You're wondering what's out there?"

"Yeah."

They stepped out onto the street and walked side by side back to Olivia's place.

"I had a panic attack the first few times I went out at night when I got back," Olivia told him. "Every little noise I heard or any sudden movement by someone had me jumping."

"That's understandable after everything."

John jumped when a trash can lid got knocked onto the floor in an alley way. Olivia chuckled.

"It will just be a cat John."

"At one time I would believe you, but now," he shook his head. "Now I know it could be anything." He put his hand into his coat pocket and wrapped it around the hand grip of the gun.

"You know your gonna have to go home at some point," she to him as they approached her apartment.

"I'm not going anywhere until I hear the full story," he said going to his car and opening the back door. He reached inside and took out a small bag. "I think I need a change of clothes," he smiled at her.

"And a shower," she laughed heading up the steps to door.

"Is that a proposal Benson," he grinned. Olivia shook her head.

"Only in your dreams John," she said. Despite everything that had happened she was enjoying his company and she liked having him around. She knew he wouldn't judge her, he was one the few people who will actually believe her.

5 days before sun rise.

"So we all know what we are doing," Elliot said to the crowd of people in front of them.

There was a mumble of yes's and I guess so from them. After their conversation with Martin they had called Mark and Arnie into the room. Elliot had stood by the door as they explained everything to them. Arnie had taken the news quite easily, but Mark took a little more convincing. But then who would just believe a story like this. To prove what they were saying was true Martin bared his fangs. It freaked Mike out a little but Olivia calmed him down enough for Martin to continue telling them his story. Once he realised Martin was there to help them he calmed down and listened to their plan.

They had then gathered them all in the bar and told them of their plan to move to Devon's through the tunnel from the Station. Martin gave Arnie and Mike guns he had got from Devon's and they set the plan into motion.

It was only 30 yards from the bar to the station. Elliot, Olivia and Martin went first giving cover from the station whilst Arnie and Mike covered them from the bar. Everyone moved quickly and quietly from one building to the other. Once they were all there Martin led them through the tunnel to Devon's.

"That went a lot smoother than I thought," said Elliot once they were all in Devon's.

"Yeah," said Martin looking out the window. "That's what is bothering me."

"Everyone is settling down for the night," said Olivia. "They are all really tired especially the kids. I kept the small study for us to rest in, plus it will be somewhere for you to….. Well you know," she said to Martin. Martin nodded.

"We should do it now so you can rest," he said to Elliot. "Let Arnie and Mark keep watch for now then I will take over as soon as I am done."

"Erm yeah okay," said Elliot.

"Elliot I won't force you to do this. I can survive without human blood for more than a few weeks."

"No, we need you strong, let's do this," he said heading to the study, nodding to Mark and Arnie on the way. Olivia and Martin followed him closing the door behind him.

"Maybe you should wait outside," said Martin to Olivia. "You know whilst I do this. It might freak you out a little."

"I'm not going anywhere," said Olivia taking the gun out that she had been given. "I know what you have said but I'm not taking any chances," she told him as she cocked the weapon.

Martin nodded and smiled. "I promise I won't hurt him," he said stepping towards Elliot who had taken his coat and hoody off.

"So how do we do this?" he asked Martin nervously.

"I just need you to relax. I can do this two ways. I can take it from your neck or wrist."

"What's the difference?"

"It takes a little longer to take it from the wrist. The blood flows quicker from the neck."

Elliot nodded "Take it from the neck we need to get this done quick."

"As I drink, you will start to feel dizzy and weak. It's a bit like when you give blood only I will be taking a little more. I will only take what I need and not enough to put your life in danger. When I'm done make sure you eat something and then sleep. You will recover a lot quicker."

"Okay," said Elliot swallowing hard. "Will it hurt at all?"

"You will feel the fangs going in a bit like a large needle, " Martin told Elliot as he stepped towards him. "But then the pain will ease. I have been told it actually feels quite pleasurable and a little erotic. A few women I fed on in my early days would get quite aroused from it, it made for an interesting night."

"Enough of the sweet talk and just get on with it," said Elliot making him chuckle.

"Sit down on the couch."

Elliot sat down and Martin sat next to him. "Remember just relax," he said pushing Elliot's head to the side to give him better access to his neck. Olivia walked closer her weapon still pointing towards Martin just in case.

"I promise you Olivia, I won't hurt him."

Olivia said nothing and kept the gun aimed at Martin.

Elliot fixed his eyes onto hers as Martin moved forward to his neck. Olivia watched as Martins mouth got closer and she saw his fangs sink into his neck. She swallowed hard.

"Fuck!" said Elliot as Martin began to suck on his neck.

"You okay," Olivia asked him stepping closer and seeing a dribble of blood run down Elliot's neck.

"Yeah," he said quietly before his eyes closed as Martin continued to drink from him. She heard Elliot moan and watched as his hands gripped onto Martins arms. Slowly she saw his body relax and Martin had to support him. Finally Martin moved away from Elliot's neck licking his lips, and lay Elliot back on the couch. Olivia could see traces of blood around the small puncture wounds on his neck.

"Is he okay?" she asked him stepping even closer.

"Yeah, he is fine," said Martin. "I told you I wouldn't hurt him.

"Did it help, do you feel stronger?"

"Yeah I feel good, a lot stronger," he smiled. "And on the plus side he tastes good to."

Martin stood up and reached into a bag and handed Olivia some bars of chocolate. "Make sure he eats this then gets some rest, he is gonna be tired for a while."

Olivia nodded and took the chocolate and sat down next to Elliot on the couch. "You okay?" she asked him.

"Yeah I'm good," he said giving a small smile as Olivia stroked his cheek. "Just feels like I have had a few to many drinks."

Olivia reached forward and touched the two small holes on the side of his neck.

"Those puncture wounds will heal quickly," said Martin. "I will take over from the others so they can rest. You guys should as well. Thank you Elliot," he said walking out the door and closing it behind him.

Olivia gently touched the wounds, Elliot's blood covering the tips of her fingers. "What did it feel like?" she asked him.

"Hurt at first then it felt a little strange but then it, it felt good," he told her. Olivia just nodded and looked at Elliot's blood on her fingers. She raised her hand to her mouth and licked the blood from them.

"Liv," he said watching her.

"He said you tasted good," she whispered bending down over him towards his neck. "I want to taste for myself." Without hesitating she covered the wounds with her mouth and gently and slowly licked the blood that was there. She heard Elliot moan as his hands gripped her hips. "He's right," she whispered against his neck before sitting up. "You taste amazing," she told him kissing his lips softly.

Elliot could taste his blood on her lips as she kissed him gently. She finally pulled back from him and gave him a small smile. "Sit up," she said to him . "You need to eat."

Elliot sat up and took the chocolate from her and took a bite. "Do you think we are going crazy?" he asked her as she sat down next to him on the couch.

"I hope so," she sighed turning the gun around in her hands. "Because if we are crazy that means those kids are safe, there no such things as Vampires, and I didn't just watch a guy suck blood from your neck."

They both fell silent for a while.

"Guess we aint crazy then'" said Elliot breaking the silence before eating the last part of his chocolate.

"Guess not," she replied as they both sank back against the couch and closed their eyes.

Present day

"Wait a minute. Elliot let him drink his blood. He let someone sink their teeth into his neck and take blood from him?"

Olivia just nodded.

John shook his head and stood up. "This is just crazy Liv. I mean…. Shit," he said rubbing the back of his neck.

"I know how it all sounds John but it's how it happened. We had to have him strong. It was us versus them and we had seen how strong they were from the things they had already done. Look if all this is getting too much, then we can stop. Just forget everything."

"No," he said sitting back down and taking hold of her hand. "I said I wanted to hear everything and that's what is going to happen."

"But what's the point if you don't believe me?"

"I never said I didn't believe you Liv, but it's a lot to take in."

"How do you think we felt," she said trying to smile.

"So what happened next?" he asked sitting back against the couch.

"Nothing not for a few days. Martin was starting to get worried, wondering why they weren't trying anything. I mean it was obvious that we knew something was going on because we had moved all the kids. We kept watch every minute of the day. There was always someone at the back or front of the house. I could tell Martin was worried. But he told us that as long as we stayed in the house we would be safe."

"So this theory that you see in the movies and read in books about when the owner of a house dies then Vampires can get in without an invite was a load of bull?"

"That's what I thought but I asked Martin and he told me the house didn't belong Devon. After Martin had told Devon all about himself, Devon signed over the house to someone Martin knew that lived away from the town. That way if anything happened the house would always be a safe place to go. Apparently there are people all over the place that know Vampires are real. They help certain Vampires and give them a safe place to go if they are in trouble or just need to rest or feed. It was one of these people that owned the house, and they had given Martin permission to enter it. So even though Devon had been killed his house was safe."

"So if you guys were all safe in that house until the sun came up, what the hell happened? Why didn't you just stay in there?"

"We were going to. Martin had told us that once the sun came up the chances are they would leave. There wasn't all that many places that they could hide during the daylight. Plus apart from a few people here and there nobody thought they were real, just monster from fiction books. If they stayed after the airport re opened and people came back they would be found, and people would start tracking them down and killing them. Martin said there were stronger, older and more dangerous Vampires out there that wouldn't be happy if their secret was revealed."

"So what and when did it go wrong?"

"It was 2 days before the sun would come up. Like I said things had been quiet and we even began to think they might have left, but we were so wrong. It turned out they were feeding on and torturing other people in the town. They were just taking their time getting to us."

John's phone rang making them both jump.

"It's Fin," he told her. "Give me five minutes to take this," he said standing up and going into the kitchen. Olivia sighed as she closed her eyes and thought back to just before it all went wrong.

2 days before sunrise

"Liv you really should get some sleep," said Elliot as they lay on the couch his arms wrapped around her.

"So should you," she smiled as he kissed the back of her neck.

"I have but you haven't slept for more than an hour at a time for days now. You need to rest baby, you're going to make yourself ill."

Olivia sighed as he kissed and sucked gently on her neck.

"I can't," she told him. "I just can't relax there is too much going around my head."

"Maybe I can help you relax," he whispered as his hand slipped under her top and he pulled her back to him her back flush with his chest.

"El," she sighed as his fingers moved softly over her stomach.

"Mmmmm?"

"We can't do this," she said biting her lip as his fingers went to her jeans and he popped the button open.

"I'm just helping you relax," he told her as he pulled down her zip. "You need to sleep, all I'm doing is helping you," he said slipping his hand into her jeans and over the top of her panties.

"What…. What if someone comes in," she stuttered as his hand slipped inside her panties and he gently stroked her, his fingers slipping easily between her warm wet folds. He reached up with his other hand and pulled the blanket over them covering her from the waist down.

"Everyone is either sleeping or busy keeping watch," he mumbled into her neck. "As long as your quiet we should be okay."

"Hmmm," she mumbled as his finger pressed against her clit and he rubbed it softly.

"Just relax baby, let me take care of you."

Olivia just nodded as he stroked and rubbed her, his finger sinking deep inside her.

"Jesus Liv, You feel amazing," he moaned and Olivia could feel his erection pushing against her. "So wet…. So tight," he said pushing against her from behind as his finger moved deep inside her and he sucked the skin on her neck into his mouth and his other hand went to her breasts and he rubbed her nipple between his finger and thumb.

"Oh god El….. Feels so good," she said moving her hips and pressing against him.

Elliot smiled against her "I can't wait to make love to you, bury myself deep inside you," he told her his voice deep and low. "To taste every inch of body…."

"Oh god," she gasped as he added second finger and his thumb continued to rub her clit. "So close," she gasped.

"Just let go baby….cum for me," he whispered in her ear. "Come on Liv, I can feel how close you are, don't hold back."

Olivia couldn't hold on any longer as her released built and she shuddered around his finger, clamping them tight "Fuck!" she gasped her body shaking as she came.

"That's it sweetheart," he said softly as she began to relax and he gently removed his fingers. "Just relax, I got you," he told her as her body relaxed into him. "Get some sleep."

"I love you," she said quietly before her breathing evened out and she began to drift off to sleep.

"I love you too, and I always will," he told her. "I will always be here for you," he said before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

Present day

"Hey you okay?" asked John sitting back beside her.

"Yeah," she said wiping away the tears that had fallen down her face. John reached over and pulled her to him holding her tightly to him. "I miss him so much," she sobbed.

"I know you do," he said kissing the top of her head.

"I loved him so much, he ….. He promised me he would always be here for me," she cried.

John just held her not knowing what to say.

"Why now? I need him, I need him so much, and I can't do this without him."

"Yes you can Liv, your strong, you will get through this."

She shook her head. "I can't, I'm not the same without him… I hate him for this. I hate him for lying and leaving me. I want him back John, I would do anything to bring him back to me."

John just rocked her gently holding her tightly to him as she cried and finally let the grief she had been holding in finally come out.

Next Chapter will be the last of the flashbacks. Hope your all still enjoying it as much as I am writing it. Keep the reviews coming they are always great to get.
