Chapter six: Vampires.

The next day at school BB and A are talking to Near as the teacher continues.

"So we were thinking of maybe of going to town to hang out." BB offers. "Want to join?"

"Sure." Near agrees to it.

So after school Near heads to meet BB and A when halfway there Mello approaches him.

"Hey." Mello greets.

Near stops and turns to Mello. "Hey." He greets back.

"So maybe want to come with me and some of my members on a hunting trip?" Mello asks in an offering tone.

"Sorry. But I already have plans." Near responds.

Mello frowns. "Is it with those two vampires?" He asks.

"Yeah." Near says as if it's no big deal.

"You know those two are nothing but trouble." Mello informs him. "I'm just worried for you."

"Thanks but I can take care of myself." Near then walks away.

Mello curses to himself like a guy who completely said an idiotic thing to a hot girl they were asking out.

Near meets with BB and A just outside then they head off to check out what fun they can find around town.

Within the shadows a dark figure peers out then after a moment turns dashing back into the shadows.

A turns to glance back sensing the dark figure so he stays alert without worrying the others by glancing back every chance he gets when the other two won't notice. He doesn't want to worry the other two if it's really actually nothing.

They head inside of a store and take a look around.

"Hey look a pig grew wings!" BB says picking up a pig decoration that has wings. "You had better be wishing that you never said anything about when pigs flay! It's happening! Run for your lives before everyone you said it to comes to you like an angry mob! Lock up your children! The mob is coming!"

A and Near laugh at this.

BB can't help but grin as well. He puts the pig back on the shelf.

They settle down from their laughter and then they continue looking around the store.

Not much else is really interesting so they leave to head to another place.

They talk along the way as the lookout for anything interesting.

Where they are right now has an odd person here or there making it the least busy street.

"Oh we have to go in here!" BB speaks a little excited as he is soon racing over to a magic and emo shop.

The other two chase after him.

Suddenly there is screeching sounds.

Near slightly turns as he realizes that the out of control truck is headed straight for him.

"NEAR!" A screams and rushes to try to get there in time.

BB, hearing this, skids to a stop and turns around wide eyed. He also races to try to help.

A leaps into the air and tackles Near to what they thought would be out of the way….. Until the truck swerves uncontrollably, as it can be seen the driver is trying to turn the truck away from the two, towards them. He tries to make sure that he will take most of the impact.

BB races out in front of the truck standing between it and the other two. He raises his hands up palms facing the truck.

The truck slams into BBs hands and it suddenly jerks to a stop lifting up a small bit before crashing to the ground with luckily no real dents were made.

Of course had it been A instead of BB well then the trucks front would be pretty much flattened.

A is the strongest vampire known at the moment as he is even stronger than vampires who go to protect their mate or loved one from a possible death situation.

BB glances back. "Are you two ok?" He asks.

A and Near shift apart sitting up.

Near nods.

"Yes." A responds.

BB sighs in relief and lowers his hands to his sides. "That's good." He admits only to turn to the driver with a glare so murderous looking that the driver feels chills of pure terror shoot down his spin as he can't look away as much as he wants to.

To him it's like staring death in the face while being tortured in Hell.

He quickly tries to calm down the angry vampire. "I'm sorry! My truck went out of control! I didn't mean to cause any harm or danger! Really! I'm really sorry!" He waves his hands up at around his face to chest area as if in anime trying to prove innocence while panicking.

BB growls.

Near gets to his feet. "BB stop." He demands.

"He could have killed you two!" BB protests.

"Beyond." A gets to his feet.

BB slightly glances back looking at the two behind him.

"We are fine." A moves over towards BB.

The truck driver is still panicking like crazy as he freaks himself out so much in his car that he doesn't want to leave in fear he'll be torn to nothing but scraps too small even for a mouse, that it's surprising he doesn't give himself a heart attack or something.

A turns to look to the driver with a hard dangerous glare. "If I were you I wouldn't be driving it again until you get it looked at!" He growls. "You're lucky we don't have time to teach you a lesson." He turns wrapping his hand around BB's walking away with BB stumbling after him.

When no longer facing the truck driver the two calm down and Near joins them as they head for the store they were going to go in before all that happened.

"Thanks for saving me." Near gives his appreciation as the terror from almost being hit by a truck starts to settle down inside of him.

"It's what friends are for." A gives him a smile along with BB.

The three continue to look around.

"Oh hey check it out!" BB races over to a display case on the wall with wide starry eyes. "They sell a whole ton of knives!" He points out as he looks at the knives like some fan girl.

A and Near smile.

BB does love to use knives in fights or kills if he can.

A knows this fact well being BB's intended mate and all.

A moves over to BB's side. "Well then which one is your favorite?" He asks.

BB looks thoughtful as Near comes over to BB's other side.

"What about that one?" Near points to one that looks like something BB would carry around with himself.

"Yeah." A agrees. "It looks like your favorite knife."

It's true.

It looks like the knife shaped blade butcher knife that BB favorites out of all of his knives but a little more antique.

BB nods. "Yes. She's perfect."

A turns to find an employee of the store had just stopped behind them. "How much?" He asks assuming that this emo slutty girl heard what they were talking about.

"It's only four hundred." The girl employee responds.

BB spins around with a hard glare. "That much!?" He hisses. "I can make her by hand for a cheaper price!" He then glances back to his two friends. "This store isn't worth it." He says then leads them out of the store.

The girl employee a little hesitantly calls out a 'have a nice day' behind the three as they leave.

They continue on walking around with BB ranting about the damn price of that knife until he finally calms down.

"Feel better?" A asks as he and Near had been silently letting BB rant.

BB nods. "Yes."

A smiles. "That's good." He sounds glad.

The three turn a corner and Near spots Matt walking around in human form smelling the air.

Matt turns and notices them. "Oh hey." He greets holding back on saying anything about the vampires he really dislikes since Near is with them and Mello would be pissed enough to kick his ass to become imprisoned in the moon with no video games or anything to really do forever.

"Hey. What are you doing?" Near asks.

"Well…" Matt begins.
