Chapter 6 Truths

"You're a vampire," Spencer stated simply, but as Grace looked at him, she could tell he wasn't scared. She didn't smell fear on him, well, maybe the tiniest little bit, but who wouldn't be a bit scared finding out your new girlfriend is a vampire?

Grace sighed. She knew she would have to spill the beans sooner or later and tell him the truth, especially if the two planned on going into a relationship of some sort. Grace would of blushed at the thought, if she could.

"Yes," Grace replied, not a bit of hesitation in her voice. "I am. How did you figure it out?"

"I heard you and Freddie talking about something attacking a human," he said, and it wasn't that noticable, but she paled more. "Grace, is Sam a vampire too?"

Grace took in a deep breath. "Yes. Freddie is one as well."

"What?" Spencer's eyes nearly bulged out of his head in shock. Now, one vampire was surprising enough. But THREE?! And they were hiding it from him too, from Carly even! Well, not that the three were close now, but still.... "The three of you are?"

"I bit Freddie, Freddie bit Sam," Grace shrugged. "I'm not proud of myself for biting Freddie, and if I could, I'd go back in time and not do it. But..."

"What's done is done, right?" he asked, looking over at her. Again, Grace was surprised.

"How on Earth are you so calm about this? I mean, you just learned that there were three vampires living around you. Well.... sort of living."

"I guess it hasn't really sunken in yet," he said with a small laugh and Grace laughed along with him. It felt nice, being with someone like this again.

Sam frowned, bringing her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them. Time was going by as slow as it could for her, it was even worse when you didn't age, where you could live in a world without time.

The sun was still high in the sky, and she was starting to wonder if it would even go down at all. She thought about Freddie, just a pile of dust to be taken away by the wind, and shivered.

'Come on, Sam. He'll...he'll be home soon. Just because some vampires don't come back from that, doesn't mean he won't. He's strong, he'll come back. He will. He has to....'

Carly had left, but Sam was glad they had some sort of friendship back. She simply sighed, resting her head against the wall, closing her eyes.

Being a vampire, she hadn't realized how tired she really felt until now. She stifled a yawn even though no one was around to hear it, and wrapped her arms around herself, hoping to fall asleep.

As Sam fell into sleep, the sky grew darker. The sun finally fell, and the dust on the ground outside started to glow. It started to become solid, and form a figure that just grew taller and taller. The glow remained until the figure opened its eyes.

Freddie was back.

Sam had barely been asleep two hours before she opened her eyes again. She rubbed at her eyes, and looked at her watch. Her eyes widened. It was way past sundown! Where was that dork?

She immediately got up, and ran down the all the stairs, out towards the Bushwell Plaza entrance, ignoring Lewbert's yells, and called out.

"Freddie!"

There was no answer.

She took into a run over to where the dust had been, where she left Freddie before.

Nothing. There was nothing there.

She shook her head, feeling the tears stinging at her eyes. No...no...he couldn't be-

"Sam?"

Eyes widening at that familiar voice, she jumped and immediately turned around, a wave of relief washing over her when she saw Freddie standing in front of her, same clothes on that he had the other night.

"There you are..." Sam sighed as she ran over to him, embracing him a tight hug. Freddie hugged her back, the whole day just a complete blank to him. He supposed it would be. After all, he had spent the day as a pile of dust.

"If you ever do that again, Fredweird, I'll make sure you come back, just so that I can hurt you again myself."

Freddie shivered. Somehow, he knew she probably would.

A/n: Sorry for the wait, I get lazy on weekends. . Especially when I have no school on Monday. Kinda blah, but I hope you enjoyed anyway.
