KNight Wolf

Vampires and Old Friends P-4

Max's P.O.V

I sighed as I leaned against the couch that was in the Fenton's living room while closing my eyes. After we left the warehouse the Fenton's picked us up in their high-tech RV and quickly drove us home, after taking David and his pact's amulets. Johnny was awake but banged up, apparently his fight with Rock ended with a tie. Johnny's girlfriend Kitty was falling in and out of consciousness the entire ride, making Johnny really worried.

As soon as we made it to the Fenton's home Danny took Johnny's old pact to the basement with the help of his parents while Johnny was in the living room with me and a unconscious Kitty. Danny told me he was calling the observers to take the pact in for what they did.

I suddenly felt something cold touch my cheek making me look to the side. "Here," Jazz said as she handed me a water bottle. "How you feeling?" She asked while sitting next to me.

I took a quick sip of the water before I shifted my body a bit. "Tired, sore, and I'm going to need to make more BlackWater." I said while seeing 2 of my 4 bottles were empty. "But other then that I'm fine." I said with a shrug.

Jazz smiled at me before leaning forward and kissing my cheek. "I'm proud of you, for helping them." Jazz said, glancing at Johnny and Kitty.

I couldn't help but let a smile cross my face as I looked at the resting vampires. "I might not look for trouble like Danny, but I will help people if they look like they really need it."

Jazz smiled at me again before she scooted closer to me and rested her head on my shoulder. "It's been a long night." Jazz said with a sigh.

"Yeah." I agreed before resting my eyes a bit.

It was a few more minutes before Danny came up from their parents lab dressed in normal cloths. "Alright, David and his pact are gone." Danny announced getting a sigh of relief out of Johnny. Danny then turned to the unconscious vampire and Johnny. "Now lets help your girl Johnny."

Johnny nodded before picking his unconscious girlfriend up and walking down the basement with Danny, me and Jazz fallowing. Ones downstairs Johnny put Kitty on a medical table while Jack and Maddie were grabbing equipment.

"Alright, we're ready," Maddie said with a needle in her hand before she turned to Jazz. "Now we just need you sweetie." Maddie said with a motherly smile.

Jazz nodded before rolling up her sleeve and sitting down on a chair next to Kitty. Maddie walked over to her daughter before she tied her arm and poked Jazz with a needle that had a tube attach to it. Jack then reached over and did the same with Kitty. Once everything was set Maddie squeezed Jazz's arm lightly and blood started to flow through the tube before meeting Kitty.

"So how long is this going to take, and much blood dose Kitty need exactly?" I asked Johnny.

"Only a pint of blood should do," Johnny said as he looked Kitty over with a smile. "After that it should only take a few minutes since vampire's bodies are faster when healing."

I nodded to his words as Maddie removed the needles from the girls arms. After that we all waited for Kitty to wake up, which was a little unnerving given with all the attention. Suddenly Kitty's body gained some color and she started to move a bit, her eyes fluttered open and she sat up with a groan.

"Johnny..." Kitty said as she blinked her eyes.

Johnny had a big smile on his face as he gave Kitty a light hug. "Welcome back Kitty." He said as he kissed her cheek.

Kitty looked confused before she looked around and saw she wasn't alone with Johnny. "Johnny, who are these people and-" Her eyes suddenly widen as she looked around with fear on her face. "David-David is here!" Kitty shouted while looking around with fear.

"Kitty, Kitty it's ok," Johnny said quickly making Kitty look at her. "David gone, him and the pact are both gone." He said shocking Kitty.

"G-gone, how?"

Johnny smiled as he looked around at us. "We had some help." Johnny said confusing Kitty a bit.

Johnny then started to explain what had happen after he, 'barrowed', Jazz and Kitty was kidnapped. He part how me, Danny, and him went to fight David and his pact just to help her. And finally the part where Jazz just gave Kitty the blood she needed to save herself.

By the end of the story Kitty had tears, she then grabbed Johnny's face and started to kiss it repeatedly. "You. Big. Dumb. Lovable. Idiot." Kitty said between kisses. Once she was done she looked to us with big smile as she whipped the tears away. "Thank you all for what you did for us." She then turned to Jazz and gave the redhead a hug, surprising her. "Especially you, if it wasn't for you we could be dead."

Jazz smiled as she returned the hug. "I just did what I thought was right."

Johnny smiled at the girls before he rubbed the back of his head. "So what do we do now?"

"Now you fix my car." I said harshly, catching everyone off guard. "Don't think I forgot how you fucked my ride up, I just got it too you know. So your going to fix it."

Everyone looked at me in shock at the sudden demand. Johnny sighed with a down look while Jazz looked angry. "Max you can't blame Johnny for that, he needed me-"

"Jazz, let me finish." I interrupted Jazz, making her glare at me a bit but didn't say anything. I then turned to Johnny, who sighed when he looked at me.

"I... I don't know what to do honestly, we just got into town and I don't have a job or money to pay you back with." Johnny said with a depressed look.

I walked right up to the vampire with a serious look, making Johnny sweat a little. "Here's what's going to happen. I got a friend named Bobby, he owns a auto shop and he owes me some favors." I said and I could see the surprised looks from everyone in the room. "I'm going to get you a job their and your first task will be to fix my car, after that you can stay in Amity Park as long as you want."

Johnny looked at me in shock. "Your... your getting me a job?" He asked and I nodded to him. Johnny put a hand over his eyes and I could of sworn I saw a tear fall. Johnny then picked his head up and gave me a sappy expression. "Get over here man!"

I blinked at that. "What?"

Before I could react Johnny brought me into a bone crushing hug that squeezed the wind out of me. "Your an awesome guy you know that!" Johnny nearly shouted as tears ran down his face.

"Your... welcome." I wheezed making everyone laugh.

After Johnny finally put me down Kitty walked up to the spellslinger and kissed my cheek. "Thank you for everything, I don't know how we can thank you all." Kitty said as she looked to everyone.

Danny smiled at the vampires. "We're just glad your ok." He said before glancing at the time, seeing it was 12:22. "You guys should find a place to stay tonight before the sun comes up, you have some time though."

Kitty suddenly gained a said look on her face. "Yeah, the sun..." She muttered sadly.

The mood in the room suddenly shifted when everyone saw Kitty's sad face and how Johnny rubbed her shoulder's. "Is something wrong?" Maddie asked.

Kitty didn't say anything at first but she did sigh. "I... I just miss walking around in the sun, going to school, and not having to drink blood to live." She said with a sad sigh. "Sometimes I wish we can be human again." She said getting a small nod out of Johnny.

Everyone in the room gave the vampires sympathetic looks, including me.

"Isn't their something you can do Max?" Jazz asked me.

I sighed sadly as I rubbed my face. "No Jazz theirs nothing I can do." I said making everyone look at me. "Vampirism is a lot like lycanthropy, their both a incurable disease that not only bond to the body but also the soul. If you wanted to cure earthier then you better be prepared to make a deal with the devil."

Kitty sighed sadly at that as Johnny comforted her.

"But we made a cure for lycanthropy, or at least for werewolves." Maddie said.

I paused at that remembering what Danny told me about the cure. "That cure is for the early stages of lycanthropy because that's when it's weakest since it hasn't bonded to the soul yet, and it only works on weaker ones." I said before pointing to the vampire. "These guys have been vampires for a long time, so the vampirism has bonded with their bodies and souls." I said while running my hand through my hair.

"... What if..." Danny suddenly said, grabbing everyone's attention. "What if we made something that could help their bodies but not their souls."

That... that made me blink. "You mean... a cure that only works half way, or some kind of serum?" I asked and I couldn't help but let a little astonishment out of my voice.

"Yeah, or at least something that can block the blood cravings, let them age, and walk in the sun." Danny said to me. "Can it be done?"

I put a hand on my chin and started to think it over in my head, and after a minute of thinking I came to a answer. "I... I think it can work. Usually if someone wanted to cure vampirism they go all or nothing, but I don't think someone has thought of just making a cure that helps a vampire half way." I said getting a shocked look out of Johnny and Kitty. "If Jack and Maddie use their knowledge of science and I use my magic... I think we can whip something up."

Kitty and Johnny had a hopeful look on their face. "Do... do you really think you can help us?" Kitty asked in a hopeful voice.

I just turned to the older Fentons with a questioning look, they looked at each other before nodding. "Yes, we can." Jack said with a determined look on his face.

I smiled before I took my hat off. "Alright, let's get to work."

With that the first thing we did was get got as much blood we could from Johnny, since Kitty still had Jazz blood in her system. Vampires blood was darker then normal blood, almost leaning on the color black.

"Alright, where should we start?" Jack asked out loud as he, Maddie, and I stood in front of lab table.

"I always liked the trial and error method. Try something and see if they have a reaction together in the blood." I suggested. "You guys handle the chemicals, I'll work with any herbs you have."

Maddie nodded before she turn to Danny. "Danny, grab that old box in the vault." Danny nodded and quickly ran to the other side of the room where a vault was.

He typed in something on a panel next to the vault and it opened, he ran inside before coming out with a large wooden box. He walked over to us an placed the box on the table in front making a loud bang.

I raised an eyebrow seeing the boxed had about three drawers. Pulling one of them and I couldn't help but be impress at what I saw. "Damn, where did you guy's get all this?" I asked as I pulled out a jar of raven feathers, the whole box was filled with various ingredients.

"We when made that werewolf cure we needed some wolfsbane to weaken the hosts body enough to accept the cure." Maddie said as she grabbed several bottles from under the table and put them down. "After that we started collecting whatever we thought might be useful."

"But we don't know if half that stuff is useful." Jack said as he put a microscope in front of me.

I shrugged as I looked at the various jars in the box. "Everything has a use, it's just very specific for certain things." I said as I put my cane down on the table before cracking his fingers. "Well, let's get cracking."

I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder making me turn to see Jazz smiling at me. She surprised me when she leaned forward and kissed me on the lips, she pulled back while looking right into my eyes. "I believe in you." Jazz said before she, Johnny, Kitty, and Danny left upstairs.

I couldn't help but smile as she left upstairs... until I felt a dark aura behind me. Turning back I saw Jack Fenton glaring daggers at me while squeezing a needle in his hand, and if I was being honest it scared me a little.

I raised my hand up in a peaceful gustier. "If your going to kill me, kill me after I get this job done with you guys."

With that said me and the older Fentons started to go to work. We each pored a little blood on the microscope before putting something with the blood too see if their was a positive reaction or not. What was most interesting was that the white blood cells were not white but black, which explained the color.

"So... tell us a bit about yourself Max." Maddie said surprising me a bit as she took a slide out a put another one with Johnny's blood.

"What do you want to know?" I said as I took a slide out after putting some red clover and got nothing.

"Well, what do your parents do?" Maddie asked.

"... I don't have any parent." I said, and I could feel them looking at me with shocked looks. "Mom took advantage of my dad to get me so she could get an easy life. But he denied all claim of me since it would ruin his name and because he already had a family." I then smiled a bit remembering a certain someone. "Simon took me in after a couple years my mom kicked me out, he taught me magic and how to live... but he died from cancer in the summer, that's why I left Amity Park until now."

The Fentons were quiet before one of them said something. "I'm sorry that has happen to you," Maddie said and I could feel some anger in her voice. "A mother should never turn her back on her own child, no matter what."

I smiled at that before putting the next slide in and putting something from the box on it. "Well enough of that, don't ask me anything about my past unless you want to get depressed, ok." I joked, getting a giggle out of Maddie and a smirk from Jack.

"Alright, so what kind of magic do you know?" Jack asked as he wrote on a notepad.

I thought for a moment before answering. "Well I specialize in water magic, so I can control and manipulate it. I created my own water called BlackWater, it stronger and I have more control over it then regular water." I said as I thought over everything again. "I also know other spells like Surge basically turning magic into electricity out of my hand, that gender changing spell for the ultimate disguise, Frost turns my BlackWater to ice and it makes it as hard as steel, and Breath lets me breath in any environment like underwater or smoke." I said before wrote something down on my notepad after seeing a reaction from the blood. "I can learn other spells but it depends on the level and idea behind it."

The Fentons nodded to my words as we all continued our work together, testing the blood with various ingredients.

"So what do you want to do in life, after you finish school?" Jack suddenly asked but didn't stop his work.

"Don't know," I answered honestly. "I'm a magic user, and not the kind that put's on a flashy show so Vegas is out," I joked getting a small laugh out of them. "I'll probably open my own business and invest in others, I've been told I'm quite the business man." I said with some pride before my face went serious. "Now let's stop the chit-chat, we got work to do." I said getting a nod out of the Fentons.

After about 3 hours of working we all had went through every chemical and herb we had, all of us having a different ingredients for the serum.

"Alright, so what do we have?" I asked while holding a list in my hand.

"I found that Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide attach itself to the vampire blood cells, this should give a vampire resistance to the sun." Maddie said while looking at her list.

Jack looked at his list and gave a small sigh. "I didn't find much, but I did find that Sodium Citrate dose effect the blood's replication when the cells split, so this should cause them to age faster, or at least back to normal." Jack said before looking up.

Now it was my turn to look at my list. "I think Nightshade leaves should allow more resistance to the sun. Now for the blood cravings I believe Passion Flower, Serotonin, and St. John's Wort will help with that." I said getting a confused look out of them.

"Why would those things help with the blood cravings?" Maddie asked.

"There all used to help addicts, blood for a vampire is almost like a drug, yes blood for a vampire can heal and make them stronger but too much can leave them addicted, or blood drunk. These should help the them resist the blood cravings." I explained getting nods from them. "Finally I think Black Clover and White Oak should do the final touch. They are normally poisonous to vampires when in large doses, but in small ones it should weaken their system enough for everything to take effect."

"So now all we have to do," Maddie said as she grabbed the ingredients. "Is mix it up."

We each started to prep the ingredients, I took the herbs and started to pound them into dust while the Fentons did the same with the chemicals. I was sure to only use a very small amount of Black Clover and White Oak. One we had everything we put them in a mixer and waited and by the time it was done the serum was complete. The serum was a light blue with some white mix in with it.

"Alright, now for the final touch." I said as I grabbed the serum. As soon as it was in both of my hands I started to focus some magic in it and as soon as I did the serum gave a faint blue glow. "I think it's ready. Let's test it on Johnny's blood." I said as I handed it Jack.

Jock pulled out a clean syringe before he stabbed the needle into the serum before filling it up. He handed it to Maddie who then injected some of it on a slide with Johnny's blood while looking at it through a microscope. After a few seconds Maddie smiled before looking at me and Jack.

"I think it a success." Maddie said getting a smile out of both of us. "Take a look."

I stepped forward and looked through the microscope and smiled at what I saw, they serum was attaching itself to the blood cells and making them gain some color. "Alright, if this holds up we might be able to... to... uh oh." I said as I looked through the microscope and saw what I saw. "Houston, we have a problem." I said grimly.

The serum was working at first, attaching itself to the blood cells and fighting off the black blood cells. But it was a losing battle as the serum lost it's magic it was losing to the black blood cells.

I stepped back as Jack walked over and looked through the microscope, when he saw what I saw he clicked his tongue. "The black blood cells are relentless and are faster then a normal white blood cells, the magic you put in it seems to have helped the serum fight the black blood cells, but only for so long." Jack said as he looked at the blood.

Maddie turned to me with a questioning look. "Can you put more magic in it, enough for it to work?"

I just shook my head at her. "I put all the magic I can into it, every potion of any kind has a limit to the amount of magic someone can put in it. Once that limit is reached you can't go over it, it be like trying to pore more water into a already filled cup." I said before an idea came to my head. "But their may be another way." I muttered as I walked over to the lab table.

I grabbed a clean syringe and rolled up my sleeve before tying a rubber band around my right arm. I then waited a few seconds before stabbing myself in the arm and started to fill the syringe with my blood.

"What are you doing?" Maddie asked as I grabbed the syringe in both my hands.

"This." I said as I put my magic into my own blood, making it glow white. I then walked over to the serum and pored my blood into it before putting it in the mixer. "I can't go over the limit before hand when I put magic in it, but I can fill it up while the magic is being drained." I said getting a confused looks from the older adults in the room, so I decided to elaborate. "You see now that my blood is apart of the serum I can feed it magic even if it's inside someone's body, but I'm going to need the host to let my magic in if this is going to work." I said as I walked over and grabbed my cane. "And don't worry about the blood, I'm a universal donor and I'm clean."

As soon as the mixer was done Maddie took the serum and bored some on a new slide with Johnny's blood. As soon as the serum touched the blood it had the same reaction as before, but Max acted fast and started to send magic to his cane then to his blood in the serum. It took a good 3 minutes before the vampires blood turned red with only the factice amount of black.

I smiled when I saw the blood turn red while I panted a bit. "As a person from a long time ago said at some point, Eureka." I said with a smirk before looking at the time to see it was 4:36. "And it only took us about 4 hours."

Jack quickly walked over to the microscope before looking into it and smiling. "I think it worked." He said before turning to Maddie. "Go get everyone."

About five minutes later Jazz, Danny, who had normal cloths on now, Kitty, and Johnny entered the basement with anxious expressions. "So... did you... find something?" Kitty with a nervous but hopeful expression.

I stepped forward with a vile of the serum in my hand. "Behold, the serum." I said dramatically while holding up the glowing vile.

"... Why is it glowing?" Johnny asked as he looked at the vile.

"We don't know." I said with the same dramatic voice, shocking everyone except Jack and Maddie who just laughed a little. After a few seconds I just gave a small laugh. "Just kidding, it's glowing because I put some magic into it." I said getting a sigh of relief from everyone.

"So what, do we just drink this and poof, no more sun burn?" Johnny said as he looked at the vile.

Jack cleared his throat getting everyone's attention. "You can't drink this, it needs to be injected." Jack said as he brought up a syringe. "Also the proses isn't simple either."

Everyone looked confused so I stepped forward and elaborated. "You see the serum needs a large magic source in order for it to fully work, but the serum alone can only hold so much magic. In order for the serum to work I need to add my blood to it so I could give the serum a constant source of magic." I explained.

Kitty looked a little confused before she shook her head. "So this will work, right?" She asked again.

I gave a sigh. "The serum will allow you to walk in the sun without getting hurt, numb the blood cravings, and will allow you to age faster." I then frowned a bit. "But you'll still be a vampire, every ones in a while you'll need to drink some blood, and you'll still be weak to silver and holy objects."

Kitty surprised me when she smiled as me. "I know you can't make a cure for us, but this serum is more then I could ever hope for." She said with such happiness I was just a little shocked. "Thank you." She said as Johnny nodded.

I rubbed the back of my head a bit and couldn't help but feel embarrassed a bit. "Well we're glad we could help." I said with a smile. "Now let's get started. Who's first?"

Both Johnny and Kitty looked slightly confused now. "Can't we both go?" Johnny asked.

My smile fell and I shook my head as I looked at them seriously. "No, I can only do one at a time." I said surprising them. "I need to focus my magic into the serum through my blood and that takes a lot of power and concentration. I can't split it between you two, so you need to decide who go's first." I said before looking at the vile. "You don't have anything to worry about, the serum won't do any serious harm to either of you."

Both Kitty and Johnny looked at each other for a moment before Johnny stepped forward, surprising Kitty. "I'll test out this serum first, if it works then I'll let Kitty test it." He said with a determined look in his eyes.

I stared at Johnny for a good minuet before I clapped my hands together. "Then let's get started."

The first thing we did was put Johnny on a lab table then Jack strapped him down.

"Um, why is Johnny being strapped down to the table?" Jazz asked while Kitty looked worried.

Maddie looked at her daughter with a slight worry expression. "Well you see Jazz, the process might be a bit... uncomfortable for Johnny."

Johnny's head shot up and he had a slight scared expression. "How uncomfortable are we talking about?"

I rolled my eyes and pushed Johnny's head down. "Don't worry, it won't be like your having your insides ripped out. It's more like you'll get a really high fever and aching pain, but we need you to be still as possible for this to work." I reassured as Maddie brought the needle to Johnny's arm but didn't penetrate yet. She looked at me waiting for a signal and I looked down to Johnny. "Last chance, if we inject you with the serum it will let you walk in the sun and age, but their might me other side effects. You could also lose the perks of being a vampire, like enhanced strength and speed, are you sure about this?" I asked.

Johnny looked at me with a determined look. "No turning back."

I looked at him for a moment before looking to Maddie and nodded to her. She nodded back and injected Johnny with the serum and I started to get to work. I slammed my cane down while putting both my hands on top of it. I pulled my magic into my cane before sending it to my blood that was in Johnny. The vampire's body stiffened and he stared to groan in pain a bit.

"Johnny I need you to relax and let my magic into your body," I said as I already started to pant a bit. "The more you resist the longer this takes." I said as I started to put more magic into my blood.

Johnny gave a shaky nod and stated to take deep breaths. Kitty rushed over to her boyfriend and grabbed his hand while looking at him with worry. Johnny looked at Kitty and gave her a shaky smile before his body jerked in pain as some of Johnny's veins bulged.

Minutes past and I was already panting heavily and I could feel sweat dripping off my face. I could feel the serum inside Johnny's body and I started to control it to make the proses faster, but now I was getting tired even faster.

I felt my legs shaking as I started to put my weight on the cane just to keep myself up, but I steeled myself not to fall. After another five minutes Johnny gained some color on his skin and he stopped shaking in pain.

"It's... done." I said between pants as Jack and Maddie unstrapped Johnny.

Johnny sat up while groaning in pain a bit while grabbing his head. "It wasn't torture but it sure as shit wasn't pleasant." Johnny said while rolling his head as he looked at his hands.

I gave a small laugh. "Tell... me... about it." I said before falling to one knee.

"Max!" Jazz said as she and Danny rushed to my side.

"What happen, are you alright?" Danny asked as he helped me up.

I was breathing heavily but was able to give them a shaky nod. "Yeah just... took more power then I was... expecting." I said as I whipped the sweat off my face.

Johnny got off the table a little shakily, but was relatively fine. "So... did it work?" He asked while looking at everyone.

"We can test it." Jack said as he brought up a metal box with a lamp attached to it. "This produces ultraviolet rays, should have the same effects on a vampire as the sun." Jack said before turning it on and pointing it to a wall away from the vampires.

Kitty walked up behind box that was making the light. She reached out her hand and let the tip of her finger touch the light before giving a 'ah!' in pain and pulled.

"Yeah, it work." Kitty said as she looked at her burned finger before putting it in her mouth in hopes to relive some of the pain.

"Now all we need if for Johnny to test it," Maddie said as everyone looked at the vampire. "And see if the serum works."

Johnny gulped as he looked at the box that was producing light. He took a step forward and started to walk to the box as we all watch before he was directly behind it. The vampire raised his and I held my breath as he plunged it into the light.

Johnny shut his eyes tight as his hand went into the light... and he didn't scream in pain. Johnny's eyes snapped open as we all stared at his hand in the light.

"I-it work!" Johnny said in near disbelief, and I couldn't blame him. "It doesn't burn, and I don't feel any pain." Johnny said as he stepped into the light and looked to us with a smile.

I gave a big smile as I pumped my hand. "Hell yeah!" I shouted as we all cheered. I then turned to Kitty who was smiling like crazy. "Alright, your up Kitty."

The vampire nodded before she walked to the lab table and was strapped down by Jack and Maddie. Danny helped my up to my feet and I was able to stand, but still a bit shakily.

Jazz looked me with a concern gaze as she put a hand on my shoulder. "Are you up for this, maybe you should get some rest."

I turned to Jazz and gave her a smile. "Don't worry, I got enough magic for this." I said with some confidence.

Jazz looked at me for a while before sighing. "Don't push yourself too hard." She said before she and Danny stepped back.

I took a deep breath before letting it out slowly. I then looked to Maddie and nodded to her and she nodded back before she injected Kitty with the serum. "One more time." I muttered to myself as I felt the serum run through Kitty's veins.

No Ones P.O.V

Max sighed as Danny dropped him on the couch in the living room. The serum was a success for Kitty as well and she was now immune to sunlight now. Unfortunately for Max he had to push his limit with his magic because of the car crash, the fight with the vampire pact leader, and the serums, Max was tapped out of Magic. So the spellslinger nearly collapse as soon as the serum was done from exhaustion.

Luckily Danny was able to catch his friend and bring him upstairs.

"I told you not to push yourself." Jazz said as she walked up to Max from the basement door.

Max just shrugged and gave Jazz a weak smile. "Hey I wanted to get things over with and not do them later." Max said with a chuckle.

Danny gave his friend a slightly concern look. "Are you going to be ok man?"

Max gave a slightly weak nod. "Yeah, I'm just winded. Going to skip school to regain my strength, it's been a long night." Max said as he glanced at the time and saw it was 5:23.

"Fuck, I forgot about school," Danny groaned as he sat on the couch opposite to Max. "Why did you have to remind me." Danny said to Max with a small glare.

Max gave a small laugh as Jazz sat down next to him. "Don't worry Danny, mom and dad will let us stay home today. They'll call the school and tell them we're sick from eating some bad food." Jazz said as she leaned against Max and rested her eyes.

"Thank god." Danny sighed in relief before he closed his eyes and started to snore a bit.

Max gave a light chuckle as he leaned back. He then looked to Jazz with a slightly down face. "I'm sorry our date got ruined."

Jazz gave a small smile before opening her eyes. "Don't worry, I had a real fun time before I was... 'taken'." Jazz said before she gave Max a quick kiss on the lips.

Max smiled at her before he put his arm over her shoulder. "How about I make it up to you and take you out again next week."

Jazz grinned as she leaned closer to Max. "You know people will start talking, thinking we might be a couple."

Max grinned back at the red head. "Would that be a bad thing?" Max asked, his voice a little serious.

The slightly older girl gave the spellslinger a small smile. "No, I don't think it would."

With that said both Jazz and Max leaned forward and kissed each other, both knowing they started something together.

Unknown to the two teens an certain father had seen this and wasn't too happy. Just as Jack was about to step forward Maddie grabbed her husbands shoulder, stopping him. Jack turned to Maddie who was shaking her head at him before she pulled Jack to the kitchen.

Once they were in the kitchen Maddie turned to Jack. "Let them be Jack."

Jack looked surprised by the sudden statement. "But Maddie-"

"No buts," Maddie cut her husband off before looking him in the eyes. "We have to trust our daughter the same way we trust Danny, she's a young woman now not a little girl." She then gave a smile. "Also I think Max is a fine young man for Jazz."

Jack was quiet for a moment before he sighed. "Fine... but if he hurts her I'll beat him with his own cane." The father said with a growled.

Maddie giggled before kissing her husbands cheek. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

Max cringed when he felt a shiver go up his spine.

"Thanks for driving me home man." Max said as he leaned back into the car seat.

After a few hours of rest Max asked Danny if he could drive him home since he was still a little winded. Max and Jazz agreed to meet up later and see if they could go on a date without any interruptions.

"Hey no problem, you fought hard today." Danny said with a smile.

It was another 10 minuets before Danny pulled up behind Max's house and helped the spellslinger upstairs. Once they reached the top of the stairs Max pulled out his keys and quickly open the door.

"Put me on the couch." Max said as Danny helped him inside.

Danny nodded before helping his friend to the living room and placed him on the couch. "You good?" Danny asked getting a nod from Max. "Alright then, see you later man."

"Wait Danny," Max said making Danny stop. "I need to talk to you about something." Danny nodded and sat next to Max on the couch. The spellslinger reached into his pocket and pulled out a dark purple crystal. "I picked this up after the fight with David, it's what he used to turn into that big vampire." Max said as he handed Danny the crystal.

Danny looked the crystal over a pit before handing it back to Max. "Ok, but what's the big deal?" Danny asked as he handed the crystal back to Max.

"Well for one, this is some hardcore shit." Max said surprising Danny a bit. "The amulet's were good for a armature, but this right here is professional level. Not only that but the materials used to make this were not cheap as far as I can tell." Max explained before looking to the crystal. "So this brings up the question, how did he make it and where did he get the materials to do it?" Max asked out loud.

Danny had a thoughtful look on before he turned to Max. "Maybe David been working on that crystal for a long time."

That just made Max give a light snort. "Not likely, the materials alone would be impossible to find for a rogue vampire pact like David and his friends. Not only that the spell used in the crystal is no joke, far from it. As far as I can tell the spell works a lot like your beast mode, letting a vampire release their inner beast but allows them control." Max then gained a slightly frustrated look on his face. "But theirs no way David would know a spell like that, this was tailor made specifically for vampires and it would of taken years to make something like this."

Danny rubbed his head a bit. "Well say David did learn something like this, how would he learn it?"

Max thought for before answering. "Their are only three ways, one is someone taught or helped him, two is that he learned it on his own which would of take decades, and three he found something just like this." Max said while holding the crystal up.

Danny raised a brow. "So he stole this?" Danny asked while pointing to the crystal.

Max shook his head. "No, this crystal can only be used by a specific vampire, David in this case." Max said. "You see if you have something that's been magically forged and you have a knowledge on these things then you can break it down and figure out how this was made."

Danny suddenly remember something one of the vampires said to him. "Wait, I remember Lee said something, he said that his pact has fought strong supernatural beings before, could they have gotten this form someone they fought."

Max nodded to that. "That makes sense, you need know a specific spell to used for a magically forged object. But that still doesn't explain how he got the materials for this crystal." Max said looking frustrated.

Danny looked at his friend with slight concern. "Why do you want to know so bad?" Danny asked making Max look at him. "We caught David and his pact, and all of their amulets are safely in the vault at home. So why are you so concerned about this?" Danny asked his friend.

"...I don't know." Max said with a sigh as he looked at the crystal in his hand. "I just want to know what the hell this is and how it was made. I guess that's the inner mage talking." Max said with a smirk making Danny laugh a bit.

"Want me to take that crystal off your hands and put it in the vault with the other amulet's?" Danny asked.

To the werewolf's surprise Max snorted before pocketing the amulet. "No way, this right here is the spoils of war. I might not be able to use it but I can break it and see what I can salvage from it, hell I know some mages that might be interested in something like this and they might be willing to pay top dollar for this."

Danny just shook his and gave a small laugh before getting up. "Alright, just make sure that thing doesn't fall into any shady hands alright."

"Danny please," Max said before he got up and smirked at Danny. "I'm a professional." Max said before he wobbled a bit and fell back to the couch.

Danny laughed. "Well your something." Danny said before he walked out of the apartment. "See you around Max."

Max watched as Danny walked out of his home and closed the door. The spellslinger took the crystal out again and looked at it again with a more serious look. It worried Max that someone like David had access to something like this, the crystal might be far from perfect but it was still a major game changer. And if what Danny said was true about David stealing this from another vampire, that made Max worry because...

What if their were more out their.

Max shook his head at that. "If their are more out their then we'll be ready." Max said easing his nerves a bit as he put the crystal in his pocket.
