Hey guys, sorry that I couldn't upload a new chapter in a few months. It just completely slipped from my mind once school started and region band and all that stuff.

Sorry.

I'll be trying to keep working on this story, but I have other things to do, so I won't upload as much. The same goes for my youtube channel. I don't have an SD card, so I can't record anymore. (musical heights pen tapping)

Have fun reading the latest chapter!


Chapter 7- Dark Alpha Mode.

(Rin's POV)

I walked into my house and sat on the couch, dazed. I couldn't stop thinking about how he kissed me. How he had gotten on top of me on the love seat and caressed my body.

I rubbed my arms with my hands and shivered a little.

His lips were so warm and soft...

"Hey, sis!" Rinto called as he came downstairs. "How was the project?" He asked.

"Oh- uh, we got a lot of work done, and we're going to work on the song next." I lied.

He leaned on the back of the couch and saw me touching my lips with my fingers.

His voice got surprisingly cold. "Did he make a move on you?" Rinto narrowed his eyes.

I remembered back to what Len had asked me to do. 'Don't tell him I kissed you.' He pleaded. 'Please.'

I don't know why he would ask that, but I decided to trust him.

"No," I lied again. "I'm just a little hungry."

"Oh, ok." Rinto relaxed. He got up and walked towards the kitchen. "I'll get you one."

I closed my eyes and flashed back to the experience of him touching me.

Dam... he was so good with his hands...

But I'm still a virgin.

We didn't do it yet.

To everybody, I'm still the cute, innocent, little angel I'm supposed to be.

But I wondered what would've happened to us if we did do it.

My mind filled with erotic images from 'Bite Me', but with me and Len as the main characters.

Gah! I'm not becoming a pervert, am I?

Rinto returned from the kitchen with a glass of orange juice. "Here," He said, offering the glass to me.

"Thanks," I said, taking a sip.

Strangely, I felt Rinto's hand on the side of my neck. I turned and saw him staring intently at me with darker eyes, almost... hungrily.

"Um... is everything ok, Rinto?" I asked a little nervously, brushing his hand off my shoulder.

Brushing his hand off seemed to make him come back to his senses. He shook his head and averted his eyes. "Uh, no. Everythings fine." He replied quickly, then walked to his room before I could ask any more questions.

Rinto stopped at a mirror in the hallway and looked at himself. Then I saw him open his mouth and... were those... fangs? He felt his teeth with his tongue before closing his mouth again and walking away.

I flashed back to when Len rubbed his canines against my skin.

But... they're not real...

I think...

I went to my room and opened my laptop. After clicking on (Insert your texting preference here), my mouse hovered over 'video call'.

I hesitated. Am I just crazy?

No... but it doesn't hurt to check...

I pressed my finger down on the mouse.

...

A minute later he finally answered.

Huh.

"Hey, Rin!" Len said when he finally appeared. "Need something?"

"Uh, yeah." I rubbed the back of my head and smiled nervously. "This is kind of a weird request, but can you smile for me?" I asked.

A momentary panic flashed across Len's face. "Uh, sure!" He stammered. "Just a second!"

He went off screen and I briefly heard a faucet being turned on and off, then he was back a few seconds later.

Len smiled for me hesitantly and I stared at my laptop screen.

He was...

Completely normal.

I breathed a sigh of relief. I was just being paranoid.

But why did he run off screen? Maybe he was washing food out of his mouth.

'Yeah, that's it.' I told myself. 'That's the reason.' But a small thought was still nagging at me.

All the things that had happened up to now just didn't add up.

You know what? Screw all these thoughts. I'm just happy to be with him, whoever or whatever he is.

"How's homework going?" I asked, trying to get the topic out of my mind.

"Eh. Could be better. Need some help to be honest." He admitted while turning a little red. "How's the song?" Len asked.

"Wait, I'm supposed to do the song?"

Len put a hand on his face and muttered incoherently. "Let's do the song the next time we meet." He decided.

"Sure, and I can also help you on your homework later."

"Really? Thanks!" He did that stupidly cute- I mean, stupid and cute...yeah that's what I meant- that made my heart skip a beat. Our conversation spiraled on and on, leaving my thoughts far, far behind.


(Time Pass)

(Len's POV)

"Bye, Rin!"

"Cya later Len!"

I closed the laptop and leaned back. After a few moments, I let out a breath I did realize I was holding.

-That was a hella close, man!- Nel told me.

'Yeah... that surprised me too.' I admitted.

I was right about to bite myself when my lap top had started to ring- really loudly- which scared me into biting down in surprise.

Really hard.

Let's just say there was a lot of cursing and yelping as I quickly tried to lick up all the blood spilling from my arm.

Nel told me to shut up and stop being a baby.

We're great friends.

By the time I answered the call, a minute had passed. I think it worries Rin when people don't answer her immediately.

Even worse, when she asked me to smile, my fangs were still out, with blood on them.

Admittedly, my panic was not very smooth.

Luckily it only took a few seconds for me tow ash the blood out of my mouth, my fangs to morph back into human teeth, and my wound to heal.

I hate and love being half vampire.

-Hey,- Nel mentally poked me. –When are you going to fess up?-

My eyes came back into focus. 'I-I don't know.'

-Darn it.- He muttered. –She looks so... tasty. I should've included a time limit to the bond.-

'Don't worry, buddy. I'll have to do it eventually.'

Nel brightened up suddenly, which is surprising because I always mentally see him dressed in black. –Hey, I've got something to show you- He told me.

-Watch this.- As he turned silent with concentration, I abruptly felt this pull in my chest, like Nel was pulling a rubber band inside of me.

Then the band was let loose and snapped back into its place.

After my vision returned to normal, I saw Nel physically in front of me for the first time.


Nel was my exact opposite. He had a black vest with a red t-shirt underneath, along with black shorts and headphones. His hair was a dark cocoa brown and his eyes were an intense red instead of my bright blue.

"Due..." I said after a stunned moment of silence.

"I know," He grinned and spread his hands. "Amazing, right?"

"I was going to say that you look as morbid and emo as a Japanese manga guy."

Nel frowned in annoyance. "You do know that I'm still part of your soul, right? So this 'morbid and emo' look is actually the dark part of your personality. It just never shows."

"Thanks for the assurance."

"Whatever. I've still got some other things to show you." Nel walked around the room, closing the windows and turning off the lights.

I got a little nervous since I couldn't see anything. "Uh, Nel? What are you doing?"

"Relax, you'll see." His voice seemed to come from everywhere, which didn't help me relax at all.

I waited in the silence for something to happen.

Nothing happened.

"Uh, Nel? You then-"

A palm suddenly slammed into my back, right over my heart. I couldn't cry out because all the breath was knocked out of me. My heart felt like it was being infected by something dark. Something forbidden. I squeezed my eyes shut as red spots began to dance in front of my vision.

After a few minutes of curling over, I grabbed the edge of my desk and pulled myself up.

"What the FK was tha-" I yelled while opening my eyes.

And I gasped as I saw everything.

Clearly.

I gaped as I looked around the room and saw Nel, leaning against the wall and smirking.

Light as day.

"How come I can see in the dark? What... did you do to me?" I stammered, staring at my hands, which my right one had turned into talons instead of fingers.

"I activated your dark alpha mode." Nel held up his left hand, which also had talons. "Also, come with me." He motioned with his hand for me to follow. We went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror.

My left eye was glowing red with a dark aura, and his right eye was glowing blue with a bright aura. His left hand had claws, and my right hand had talons.

"Jesus..." I muttered. "Do we both have Dark Alpha stages?"

"Yeah." He responded. "We do. We also have Beta stages."

"Is it painful like just now?"

"Well, it only activates when I'm in physical form, and only in near-death situations."

"AW HEII NAH WE AIN"T TRYING THAT!" :(

Nel put a hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry, hopefully, that'll never happen."

"Hopefully?!"

"Nevermind." He pulled me back into the bedroom. "I've still got other things to show you." He said, a wide grin spreading across his face.


Man, I've forgotten how fun it is to write.
