Chapter 10: Changes
I followed Katie back to her room. I didn't know what he wanted to tell me. She seemed a little hesitant about something. I walked into her and James' room and James was sitting on the bed. I could sense the uneasiness rolling off them both in waves. I didn't know what was going on, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to know.
"What's going on?" I asked them looking from Katie to James.
"Well, I don't know how to tell you this," Katie said.
"Yeah, you just have to know we did not plan this at all," James said quickly.
"Kendall, I know the timing sucks, but things happen," Katie started. I looked at her weird. What was she trying to tell me. I had no idea. They were stalling and I was getting a little annoyed with it. I just wanted them to get to the point so I could get back to Logan. It's not that I hated them, I just really wanted to be with Logan. I don't know why, but these last few days I've really hated being apart from him.
"Will you please just tell me what's going on?" I asked.
"Katie's pregnant," James said getting straight to the point. I froze and looked at my little sister. I knew she was old enough for this, but it was still a shock. They had been together for a long time. I knew they had wanted this for so long, but Katie was right the timing sucked. We were in the middle of running for our lives and this would complicate things for sure. I knew they wanted to have a kid though. They had been so close once before, but a run in with a vampire ended that. I was glad Logan and Katie held no ill will toward Logan and Dak.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yes, we talked with Buddha Bob and he tested my blood," Katie said.
"This is just great," I said, "guys this is not what we need right now. I mean we can't stay here forever," I said looking at them.
"We know that Kendall," Katie said walking over to me. "but I'm not that far along," she said.
"Well as soon as we find out what Logan is we're leaving and we'll have to be extremely careful," I said as I started pacing back and forth. This was going to make things harder for sure. I didn't know what to think right now.
"Kendall, I am sorry, but you have got to understand we did not plan this," James said standing up. I nodded my head. I knew they had given up on planning on getting pregnant a long time ago. They planned on just letting it happen when it happened. I hated their timing.
The door opened and Dak stood in the door. We all turned to look at him. He looked scared and worried at the same time. Before I could question him he spoke.
"Kendall something's wrong with Logan you have to come quick," he said. Again before I could ask him what was wrong he left. I ran out of the room with Katie and James behind me. I ran into mine and Logan's room. Logan was on the floor. He was convulsing and seemed to be in a lot of pain. He was whining and whimpering in pain. He looked so vulnerable and fragile.
"Someone go get Buddha Bob," I yelled as I fell to my knees in front of Logan. James and Katie ran from the room. Dak and Carlos stood off to the side not sure what to do. "Logie," I said placing a hand on his arm. He stopped moving at once. His skin felt hot to the touch. That was unusual for Logan. He was always cold to me, being undead and all. I didn't know why he would be burning up suddenly. Then only time he got even the slightest bit warm was after he fed. He hadn't eaten in a few days, so that was out of the question.
"Ken," he moaned in pain. "It hurts," he said through gritted teeth.
"Shh, it's ok I'm here," I said. I ran my hand through his hair. I had no idea what was wrong with him. I had never seen him in so much pain. I had never seen him in pain ever actually. This was completely new for me. I pulled Logan up so his head was buried in my neck and held him there. I didn't know what to do. Logan just laid there whimpering in pain. I hated this. I felt so helpless. I hated not being able to help him. I was supposed to be able to help him. He was my mate now, and I had to take care of him. I couldn't right now though. I really hated being so helpless. Buddha Bob arrived several minutes later with James and Katie behind him.
"What's wrong?" Buddha Bob asked.
"I don't know," I said honestly, "All I know is that he is in pain," I said looking down at Logan. He was whimpering and panting hard.
"Let me see him," Buddha Bob said. I laid Logan back down and moved to the side and Logan cried out.
"No," he said reaching out for me. I grabbed his hand and that seemed to calm him down a bit. Buddha Bob looked into Logan's eyes. His pupils were dilated and his breathing was quick. He was in pain, but apparently I soothed him. I think it was bearable for him when we were touching. It had to be our bond that did that. Buddha Bob looked at me.
"I don't know what to say," Buddha Bob said, "I can't find anything wrong with him," he said looking at me. He stood up and looked down at Logan confused. I moved so I was leaning over Logan.
"Kendall," he whimpered. Then I saw it. His fangs had changed. They weren't like how they normally looked. They were shorter and looked more…canine. My jaw dropped and my eyes widened in realization.
"What?" Carlos asked noticing my look.
"Dak, how do vampires age?" I asked. I had no idea how vampire aged. Logan and I had never talked about it. We had never told each other our real ages either. Age wasn't important to us. We were immortal and would be together forever. Age was but a number.
"Um, I think our bodies age one human year every fifty years after the age of ten," Dak said, "that's purebreds," he added quickly. Dak wasn't a purebred like Logan was supposed to be. Dak had been human at one point. Logan had never been human. Logan wasn't a purebred though. He was half wolf and half vampire. He was the first of his kind.
"How old is Logan?" I asked.
"I'm not sure," Dak said slowly, "I've been a vampire for almost two hundred years," he said. I nodded my head. I knew Logan had changed Dak. He had told me the other night after Dak had joined us.
"Kendall what are you thinking," James asked. I looked up at James and we locked eyes for a moment.
"I think he's going through his first transformation," I said calmly. It made sense. I remember the first time I went through it. It was painful. It hurt because our bones were changing to become that of an animal for the first time.
Transformation happened to a wolf when they turned eighteen. Wolves aged like normal humans for the first eighteen years of our lives and then our aging slowed down a lot until we stopped. We transformed on the first full moon after we turned eighteen. Logan was more than eighteen, but his body wasn't. He had the body of an eighteen year old. That had to be why he was changing.
"It's the full moon," Carlos said pointing to the window.
"The first time is always the worst," I said looking up. I looked down at Logan who was so out of it. I was sure he wasn't hearing any of this.
"If that's true then there's nothing we can do for him," Carlos said. I looked up and saw Dak holding his head.
"Dak are you ok?" I asked him.
"Yeah," he said straightening up. I looked at him for a moment. If Logan was a hybrid then what did that make Dak. If it was the full moon and Logan was transforming shouldn't Dak be changing too?
"Come on let's give Kendall and Logan some privacy," James said getting the others attention. They all nodded and started from the room. I looked up at Carlos and we locked eyes for a moment. I wanted him to keep an eye on Dak. Logan was changing, so that meant Dak might change as well. Carlos nodded his head and they all left. I picked Logan up and carried him over to the bed.
"Logan," I said softly.
"It hurts," Logan said.
"I know babe," I said as I pressed my lips to his forehead. He was burning up. That was good it meant it was gonna be over soon. I heard a thud and cry of pain in the hallway followed by Carlos yelling Dak's name. My suspicions had been right. "It'll be over soon, Logie," I said turning my attention to my mate. I don't know how long we sat there, but it had to be awhile. I could hear Dak across the hall.
"I can't take it," Logan ground out after some time.
"Logan, it's you're first time and it's gonna hurt, but after this it won't I promise," I said to him.
"It better not hurt anymore after this," Logan said through clenched teeth.
"It won't," I said. I knew he was trying to distract himself from the pain by talking to me. I was glad to distract him.
"I'm a wolf then?" Logan asked opening his eyes to look at me.
"Only half," I said smiling at him.
Then it happened he started to change. I let go of him and stepped back. I watched as Logan turned into a wolf. He had brown fur and was small. He was whimpering in pain and then he stopped and opened his eyes to reveal his big brown eyes. His fur was short like that of a normal dog. He almost didn't look like a wolf, but then again I guess that was because he was part vampire. He was the most beautiful wolf I had ever seen. I smiled at him.
"Hey Logie," I said. He managed to sit up. "Come on you're weak you need to soak up the moonlight before the sun comes up. Oh, and you won't be able to change back to you're human form until the sun comes up," I said. Logan jumped down from the bed and walked over to me. I knelt down. "I'll transform once we're outside," I said scratching behind his ear. "I am gonna go see how Dak's doing," I said. Logan walked to the door ahead of me. I opened the door and Logan ran over to Dak and Carlos' bedroom door. I knocked.
"Come in," Carlos called. I opened the door and Logan walked in a ahead of me.
"Hey, how's Dak?" I asked looking at him. Dak was laying on the bed whimpering.
"I've been better," Dak said.
"It'll be over soon," I said. Logan ran over to the bed and licked Dak's hand. Dak looked down at Logan. "I just wanted to see how things were going and to let you know that once he does turn you should take him out to get some moon light," I said to Carlos. Carlos nodded.
"Come on Logie let's go," I said. Logan ran past me out of the room. I laughed and followed Logan down the hall to the main room. Katie and James were there with Buddha Bob.
"Logan," James said shocked. Logan barked softly. I smiled and looked down at him.
"I'm taking him out to get some moon light and I suggest you two do too the moon's only gonna last a few days and we're going to need all the energy we can get," I said. They nodded and Logan and I left the house. I transformed into my wolf form and walked over to Logan.
'Logie,' I said telepathically. Logan turned to me and his eyes lit up. We had a full bond now. I was so excited.
'Ken,' he replied.
'How are you feeling?' I asked as I started into the woods. Logan followed me.
'Better,' he said.
'Good, now come on,' I said and I took off running. Logan followed after me. He kept up easily. Logan then tackled me and nipped at my ear. We started to play with one another. We would pounce on one another and playfully nip at each other. I transformed back into my human form and called a truce.
"Look where we are," I said pointing to the small clearing ahead. Logan walked to the clearing and saw the lake where we had met. I hadn't even realized this is where we were heading until we got here. "Come on," I said. I led him over to some rocks that were in direct moon light. I sat down and Logan laid down next to me and put his head in my lap. "This is nice," I said looking down at Logan who had his eyes closed. I reached up and scratched behind his ear again. Logan sighed and leaned into my touch.
I heard a howl I recognized. It was Carlos. I looked to the sky and noticed it was getting light out.
"Logie we have to go," I said. Logan hadn't eaten in days. The sun would burn him easily if I didn't get him back to Buddha Bob's. Logan lifted his head and looked at me confused. "It's almost sun rise," I said before turning into my wolf form. We both started running back to the house. It was quicker than when we left because we didn't stop to play. We reached the house and I transformed back into my human form and opened the door for Logan. He ran inside and we stopped when we saw Carlos sitting on the couch with Dak next to him. Dak looked much like Logan, only his fur was lighter than Logan's.
"Did he get out?" I asked.
"Yeah, we stayed close by," Carlos said, "Katie and James are still out," he said. I nodded my head and walked over to a chair and sat down. Logan walked over to me and curled up next to my feet.
"Wow Logie, you'd never know this was you're first time being a wolf," I said looking down at him. Logan growled and nipped at my leg. "Ow, that was a compliment," I said.
'How?' he asked looking up at me. He sat up and rested his head in my lap.
"It means, it will be easier to hide you and Dak in wolf territory," I said. I looked over to Carlos. "Have you talked to Buddha Bob since I left?" I asked.
"Yeah, he said something about Logan's parents, he can tell you which was a wolf and which was a vampire," Carlos said. Logan lifted his head and looked over at Carlos.
"What did he say?" I asked.
"He didn't tell me, he wanted to tell Logan," Carlos said.
"We'll ask him later," I said looking down at Logan. Logan nodded and laid down again. He rested his head on his paws. "Come on Logie let's go lay down," I said. Logan stood up and followed me to our room. Logan jumped up onto the bed. I walked over to the bed and sat down. I got on the bed and transformed into my wolf form and laid down on my side. Logan curled up next to me and we fell asleep together.
