AN: TEDOG receives credit for giving me the idea (of introducing Rudy with a possible cure) for this chapter. I want to let everyone know that TEDOG has started a Kickin' It fanfic, if anyone is interested. It's called Fight at the Museum. Check it out :)

Extreme Thirst

Chapter Ten

Kim struggled to get up on her feet. Her body felt so heavy and numb; scary thoughts racing through her mind. Thoughts of that girl behind the tree could be Mika. She swallowed back painful tears and walked slowly.

The guys didn't move. They were extremely quiet, standing incredibly still. The atmosphere was thick with tension. So dangerously thick that none of them could seem to breathe. They waited until Kim eventually made her way around the back side of the tree before they made a single movement.

She screamed, "NOOOO!" And fell to her knees again. It was Mika.

Jack's heart felt like it had fallen out of his chest at the sound of the unimaginable sorrow in Kim's cries. He hurried over to her side.

"I can save her, if there is any life left in her." He whispered into Kim's ear.

"Please, Jack! You're the only one who can save her!" Kim sobbed loudly. With that said, he quickly bit Mika's neck, hoping that she would survive.

"Why isn't she waking up?!" Kim screamed in horror.

"I did all that I could." Jack replied. He held Kim in his arms.

"She can't DIE!" Kim sobbed into his chest.

Instantly, Mika's eyes shot open and she jumped up on her feet with a new set of long fangs in her mouth. Mika looked around the woods, frantically, smelling the air for blood. She was incredibly thirsty; so thirsty that she didn't recognize Kim. All she wanted was blood.

"Is she okay?" Jerry asked, nervously staring at Mika.

"She's scaring me, guys." Milton shivered, hiding behind Eddie.

"Mika! It's me." Kim smiled. She let go of Jack and crawled toward her friend.

"I need blood." Mika hissed. Quickly, she turned her attention to the southwestern part of the woods. Camp Stonybrook was in that direction.

"We can't let her get us caught!" Eddie yelled at Jack, "If she kills someone in broad daylight in front of everyone, the police will be involved!"

"You're right." Jack replied, jumping behind Mika and twisting her arms behind her back.

"Let me go!" Mika shouted, angrily, "Or you'll wish you had!" In the blink of an eye, Jack had her inside the cabin and tied down to the bed.

"I'll get you some blood, but you have to wait here." Jack replied. He closed the door and met Kim, Jerry, Eddie, and Milton outside. "Okay, follow me. I know where this one lady lives alone here in the woods."

"I'm going to stay here with Mika." Kim volunteered.

"Okay, but whatever you do, don't untie her until we get back." Jack warned her, "This is serious."

"I understand." Kim nodded. Jack grasped her face in his hands and kissed her lips hard and passionately for a second before leaving. Kim blushed and then, ventured into the cabin.

"I NEED BLOOD!" Mika screamed at the top of her lungs, squirming around on the bed. "YOU UNTIE ME NOW!"

"Mika, don't you remember me? I'm Kim."

"BLOOOOD!" Mika screamed. Kim quickly covered her ears not because her voice was ear-splittingly loud, but because it hurt Kim so much to hear her best friend in such horrible pain.

"Please, be patient. The guys are really fast. They'll be back soon." Kim said.

"Kim, what's happening to me?! Where am I?"

"Wait, you remember me?"

"Of course I do! You're my best friend, Kim. I don't understand what's happening to me. Where have you been?" Mika cried.

"Everything is going to be okay." Kim reassured her.

"Why wont you tell me?!" Mika cried louder.

"I...I don't know how to tell you." Kim frowned.

"Please, let me go!" Mika begged.

"I can't do that, but we will very soon." Kim promised.

It literally took the guys two minutes to take down a middle-aged woman. Immediately, Kim's instincts took over and she shot out of the room, attacking the woman's neck. Kim couldn't think. All she could do was drink.

"Save some for Mika." Jerry commented.

"Go get her and bring her out here." Jack said.

"I'm not going anywhere near that scary girl." Jerry replied, terrified.

"You're such a chicken." Jack answered under his breath, walking into the cabin and into the bedroom.

"W-who are you?" Mika asked, terrified.

"The name's Jack." He answered, cutting the ropes from her wrists with his claws. Mika had no more questions once her instinct kicked in. She practically flew out the door and sunk her fangs into the other side of the lady's neck.

"Wow, were we that crazy when you found us, Jack?" Milton asked, watching the girls feed.

"Actually, no. You guys weren't that violent." Jack grinned. He had his arms crossed over his chest watching Kim. It turned him on to see her so aggressive.

Mika got done first. She leaned back against the tree trunk breathing heavy with blood all over her chin. She looked so satisfied. And then, Kim yanked her fangs out of the woman. Kim wiped her lips with the back of her hand and stared directly at Jack, fiercely.

"Man, she looks at you like your a piece of meat." Jerry noted, nervously, "I don't like this at all."

"I know what she wants." Jack smirked.

"What are you talking about?" Milton asked, confused.

Kim raced over to Jack and began kissing his neck. He smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Now he wasn't afraid of hurting her since Kim was a vampire too. He kissed her in return very roughly.

Jerry, Milton, and Eddie ran inside the cabin to give Jack and Kim some privacy. Mika was still laying under the tree, enjoying her first stomach full of fresh blood.

"Guys, we shouldn't be here." Milton said.

"I agree with you on that." Eddie replied, "Are you coming too, Jerry?"

"Nah. Maybe they'll let me join?" Jerry wondered.

"Jerry! That's just wrong." Milton quacked.

"No. No, Jer. Go ahead and ask them." Eddie grinned.

"Really?" Jerry asked. Eddie patted his shoulder.

"Eddie, you enjoy causing trouble don't you?" Milton said, once Jerry had went back outside.

"It's not trouble." Eddie replied, "It's entertainment."

"Whoo!" Jerry exclaimed at the sight of Jack and Kim making out. I guess there's no room for me." And then, he gazed in Mika's direction and winked.

"In your dreams." She hissed, walking past him into the cabin.

"Mika, how could you forget me?" Jerry asked, pathetically, "Kim told me that you had a crush on me in eighth grade." He followed closely behind her.

"I don't know you and I don't know Kim." Mika growled. She didn't want him to know that she did remember him because she was too nervous to talk about her feelings for him. She was just now figuring out that she was a vampire and so was everyone else.

The guys and girls were seated, cross-legged in the center of the living room. Kim was in-between Jack and Mika while Jerry was on the other side of Jack, followed by Milton and Eddie. They were having a discussion about vampires and life.

"I don't want to be like this!" Mika exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know of any cures. I have been like this for a hundred years." Jack replied.

"Didn't you even try to search for a cure?!" She said, exasperated. Mika really wasn't taking this good.

"I didn't know where to begin." He answered her calmly.

"It's not so bad..." Jerry forced a smile on his face, hoping to calm her nerves.

"Are you crazy, Jer?" Eddie added, "Being a vampire sucks! No pun intended."

"Yeah, you're right. It's a horrible life, Mika." Jerry frowned. Kim glared at the Latino because he was scaring her friend even more.

"Mika, we are going to be okay. Kim said, wrapping her arms around the shaking, brunette girl.

There was a mysterious knock at the front door...Jack looked around the group at everyone's surprise in their eyes. He was surprised, too. Absolutely no one knows where this cabin is located. Anyone this deep in the woods had to be up to no good.

Jack opened the door cautiously...

It was a blonde-haired, human man with a large back pack on his back. The man just stood there in shock, staring at them. Everyone had their fangs and claws showing.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Jack snarled, "And talk fast before we tear you a part."

"I-I'm Rudy and I was-hunting!" The man answered, nervously. "I need to use your phone. I'm kind of really lost."

"We don't get cell phone service out here." Milton informed the man./

"Oh...is this a cult or something?" Rudy smiled.

"You sure ask a lot of questions." Jerry said, getting up from the floor and approaching Rudy. Eddie, Milton, Kim, and Mika stood up next.

"Guys can we just please kill him? I'm thirsty." Eddie whined. Rudy's eyes widened.

"Well, I'm going to leave now. You guys have a great day.

"You're not going anywhere." Jack growled, slamming the door shut. Rudy was trapped inside the cabin full of vampires.

"I'm...n...not afraid of you! I'm a b...black belt." Rudy stuttered, dropping his heavy back pack on the floor.

"So is Jack. He's really good, too." laughed Jerry. Rudy could feel sweat forming on the back of his neck. The vampires surrounded him. He didn't know how he was going to get out of this.

"Please! Don't hurt me!" He dropped to his knees, covering his head with his hands, crying. Jack grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him up to his feet.

"Why are you really here? I know you're not hunting." Jack asked, losing the aggression in his voice.

"Please, don't hurt me! Please!" Rudy cried.

"Snap out of it, Rudy!" Jack yelled, "Tell me why you are here and I will decide your fate."

"Guys, you're being too rough with him." Kim said, stepping forward. She put away her fangs and claws. "Rudy, why are you here?"

"I've been following you guys..." Rudy squeaked.

"Why?!" Jack demanded, he yanked Rudy to face him.

"I wanted to prove that vampires do exist." Rudy admitted, "And that I can help them."

"Okay...How can you help us?" Jack asked, letting go of Rudy's green shirt.

"My great-grandmother was interested in the supernatural and she had a degree in biology, so she did some scientific work for twenty years. And, she created a cure in her secret laboratory. It worked because after she drank some of it, she turned mortal again." Rudy explained, opening his back pack and pulling out a jar with purple liquid in it.

"So, your great-grandma was a vamp, too?" Jerry said, suddenly interested.

"For twenty years she was a vampire, but she didn't tell no one until after she became human again. Nobody believed her, but I did." Rudy said, slowly getting more confident with the vampires surrounding him.

"Why do you want to help all vampires?" Milton asked, intrigued.

"Because, she told me stories of her life and it was incredibly sad. I knew there had to be more vampires out there somewhere suffering too. So, I just wanted to help as many as I could and maybe one day, there would be no more vampires." Rudy said, opening the jar, "I don't know how she came up with his concoction, but she has a couple more gallons at home stashed away."

Everyone was a little nervous about ingesting this so-called cure. Jack was the first to try. He took a very little sip.

"Well, do you notice anything different?" Jerry asked.

"No...wait a minute. I can't extend my fangs or claws!" Jack exclaimed.

It worked. The rest of the five vampires drank some purple concoction and before they knew it, everyone was human again!

"It's finally over." Jack smiled, "This nightmare is over. Thank you, Rudy!" He hugged the blonde-haired man. Then, they all hugged him, too.

One Year Later...

Jack and the others had travelled back to Seaford, California with Rudy. The Martinez's, the Jones', and the Krupnik's were over-joyed to be reunited with their once kidnapped sons. And Julie was happy to see Milton, Kim and Mika again. And Rudy adopted Jack, so he would have a loving home.

"Life couldn't get any better than it is now." Kim smiled, kissing her boyfriend's lips.

"I love you, Kim." Jack smirked, kissing her back.

"I love you more." She laughed as his lips travelled to her neck.

"They are so cute together." Mika smiled, seated on a swing at the park with Jerry.

"Kiss me, mamacita." Jerry grinned, grabbing her swing and pulling her close to him, "I know you like me and I like you, too."

Mika leaned toward him and fell into Jerry's arms. She kissed him while giggling.

"I was so heartbroken without you." Julie said to Milton. They were seated on the merry-go-round.

"You won't ever have to feel that way again." Milton replied, pulling her close to him.

"Geez, it looks like everyone has a girlfriend besides me." Eddie frowned. He was seated next to Jerry and Mika on the swings.

"I can change that." Said a girl. Eddie turned around. There was a tall, brunette girl standing behind him.

"Well, what's your name, beautiful?" He replied, smoothly.

"Grace." the girl grinned.

The End.

AN: Okay, this is the end, guys. I can't think of anything else to write about and I have this other story idea that I want to begin.

Once again, thank you all for the love and support! I made this chapter extra long :)
