I do not own Fright Night.
Story Start
Charley's eyes slowly fluttered open to view the dark room, or at least it was dark when he first entered it earlier. Now the room was as clear to him as if the sun was actually shining inside, but slightly turning his head, he saw the windows were still covered. His head should have been swimming after everything that happened last night, but all he could feel was acceptance and rejuvenated. He felt so peaceful and comfortable where he was, who he was with, and with himself.
"Jerry," he whispered softly as he slowly sat up in the bed. Any other day he would have blushed brightly at the fact he was naked under the blanket draped onto his hips and legs, but the memories of last night kept the embarrassment from occurring. He looked to his other side to see Jerry lying in the bed with him, and he wore a satisfied smirk on his countenance.
Charley gasped at the beauty of the vampire in front of him. Jerry had always been good looking, but with his new eyesight, the vampire looked even more breathtaking. He slowly reached out his hand and ran it over Jerry's cheek and down to his neck. "He changed me," Charley thought as his eyes narrowed at the sight of Jerry's neck, which immediately made a hunger arise in him.
"Morning Charley," Jerry said with his eyes still closed, but his hand had quickly snatched Charley's hand into his own when it rested upon his neck. Jerry sat up in the bed and pulled his mate into his arms. A content growl left his chest at the sight of Charley in his arms. "How do you feel?" he questioned while running a hand over the mating mark on Charley's neck.
"How do I feel? I'm no longer human. I can never go back to a normal life, and I'm going to have to disappear from my mother's life. How do I feel?" Charley's thoughts ran wild but only one answer left his lips, "Hungry."
"That can be fixed easily," Jerry said before picking Charley up into his arms and carrying him towards the secret area hidden in his room. "The boys caught some dinner while we were busy," he continued speaking while pushing open the hidden doorway and setting Charley down to wander past the different cells. "Choose whichever one you want," he finished while leaning in the doorway of the closet so he would have full view of Charley making his first kill.
"My choice," Charley said and the dark hunger and power that had been inside him during the dream from yesterday coursed through him. "My choice," he said with more confidence as he paused in front of a cell. A familiar perfume smell assaulted his senses and he gave a smirk. "Amy's friend," he thought as a growl sounded from his chest. "Her," he growled and turned the key to unlock the door.
The sight of the once popular drone now cowering on the floor at the sight of him made a powerful sensation take over him. He had never felt powerful against this type of girl all his life, but now seeing her cry and shake in terror at the sight of him made him feel on top of the world. Looking back at the entrance way, he saw Jerry smirking at him hungrily and that only served his own hunger to grow in more than one way.
Quickly, he grabbed the girl by her hair and pulled her out of the room. She began to scream and kick, but he grabbed her by the throat and slammed her up against the wall. Her watery horrified eyes stared him down as his own turned pitch black and his fangs elongated. Her mouth stretched open as her final scream frightened the others trapped in cells, and Charley enjoyed the taste and thrill of his first kill.
He savored the taste of the crimson ambrosia as her dead body slid to the floor. His body felt alive as stared down at the dead young woman. Her torn out throat looked like something out of a gory slasher film, but to him, it looked beautiful. Charley looked up at his mate and smiled with his fangs still there. "You're right, they are delicious," he growled before walking towards Jerry with another hunger in his eyes. "Very delicious," he purred and trailed his hand down Jerry's chest.
"Glad you enjoyed her," Jerry growled before grabbing Charley and throwing him back onto the bed. "But now it's my turn," he said and smirked at the new strength and sounds his mate was showing. "He's perfect," he thought before truly showing his mate what vampire mates can enjoy with each other.
Days passed and so did the awkward conversation with Charley's mother. The woman had been on Jerry's doorstep the day after Charley was turned, and she was not too happy about her son's absence without her knowing. Jerry had wanted to kill her, but he refrained from doing so at the insistence of his mate. He knew Charley would lose his humanity with time, but his mate was still going to protect his human mother for now.
Jane had been satisfied when she saw her son was fine and that he would be staying with his boyfriend, Jerry, from now on. There was no way he would be able to stay with her anymore anyways. However, Jerry's mind controlling ability did help to convince her to not worry about Charley any more than necessary.
Ed, Adam, and Charley were learning more about their vampire selves more and more. They knew they had a lot to learn, but at least they would have each other to help get through the years. Jerry allowed the three to spend as much time together as they wished unless he wanted time with his mate alone. The coven learned quickly to not threaten or bother Charley, and Jerry did not have to do anything. Charley had already put them in their place physically. Being mates with the head of the coven gave him more power than he realized.
The neighborhood was dwindling more and more, only Charley's mother was still alive and unharmed. The other neighbors were just used as food for the coven, which was going to have to move soon enough. Jerry already planned to take his coven and mate to another city that thrived in the night with thousands of walking meals.
"Will she be all right?" Charley whispered from his spot in the passenger seat of Jerry's truck. He was staring at his old home, where his mother was washing dishes at the kitchen sink. Her happy smile and gentle blue eyes shined brightly from the window.
Jerry reached to the side and placed his hand on Charley's leg. "She'll be fine and so will you and our coven," he said softly and gave the leg a squeeze before putting his hand back on the steering wheel. The trailer full of his coven and a few necessities was attached to his truck.
"So where are we going?" Charley questioned tearing his eyes away from his mother for the final time. He knew he would never see her again in this lifetime.
"Los Angeles," Jerry said with his usual smirk before pulling out of the driveway and starting the long night drive.
"Sounds like fun," Charley said now with his own smirk as he imagined all of the fun he, his mate, and the coven could have. "Ed and Adam will have a field day with all the horror movie stuff," he thought with a smile before looking at his mate. "Everything is just how it should be," he thought and placed his own hand on Jerry's leg before looking out the window to watch for his new home for his coven.
The End.
