I do now own The Outsiders

11. Lust

Ponyboy laid hidden in the house, orders from Darry. He wasn't allowed to go anywhere with at least two people beside watching him. But other werewolves were also on guard including Tim's boys. Sodapop was always on watch duty especially knowing Adam was going to visit his brother sometime soon and thinking of this made him madden. How dare he take my brother from me?!

Steve and Dally were in the house drinking while watching a movie on television. Ponyboy was in the kitchen looking for ice. His throat was beginning to get some irritating sting. Also going dry very often. But that day was unbearable. Ever since the bite he felt strange. Ending the process of becoming a whole wolf he felt a new one begin. But it was fast. Those days his veins burned yet again, his heart beat fast and wouldn't stop afterwards. His skin began to pale. His friends simply ignored it since Darry had already talked to them about what Christopher had said.

His eyes were still golden. His thirst for blood wasn't really showing up either. Or so they thought. Ponyboy was getting desperate now for that sting to lessen. Sweat beads slid down his forehead on to the ground. Steve, from the couch, yelled for him to be quiet. Pony wasn't really listening. He violently opened the freezer to find ice, took it in his hands and put in in a cup. Dally turned his head towards the kitchen, "What the hell is going in there?"

The young one poured himself water drinking it to the last drop. His hand went up to his throat realizing it was still there. Dally made his way to him, "Kid are you all right?!"

Steve started calling Sodapop and Darry through the phone. Ponyboy shook his head as his eyes grew wide scared of why he was feeling that. In a raspy voice he said, "My throat. It freaking burns."

Dally picked him up into the bathroom where he turned on the shower thinking it might help. Ponyboy sat down under the shower where cold drops touched his skin. Even with this the burning wouldn't stop. Ponyboy had enough, he ran from his house as fast as he could. Ran to find a solution. Steve stood with the phone in his hand stunned. Oh shit.

The blonde greaser swore, "Fuck! Steve leave the fucking phone! C'mon!"

Both boys went right behind the hybrid.

The Curtis boy's eyesight went a little hazy from being under the bright sun. He was standing in the middle of a park where there were children playing. Parents chatting. Other people enjoying the day unaware of the danger. No one really turned to see Pony anyway.

A small girl ran in front of him her hair swaying as she ran back to the other children to play. Ponyboy caught a whiff of her scent. It smelt sweet. It smelt wonderful to his nostrils. So appetizing. Suddenly a carnal feeling rose in his body. His eye pupils were changing colors into a wine red and his muscles tightened. His eyes followed the girl not caring if anybody saw what he planned in his head.

Just as he was about to go ahead someone snatched him from the collar of his shirt. Pony shook his head gasping for air not believing he wanted to kill a little girl.

Someone snickered, "I knew this would happen. Come with me stupid boy. Now. Obey."

Ponyboy gulped following him still a little dazed. They walked into the woods where nobody was in danger anymore. Adam stopped pushing the boy against a tree, "Your throat is on fire." It wasn't much of a question since he already knew the answer.

Nodding to that Adam laughed, "Blood. Blood is what you need to control that burning. I'm actually really surprised that it took you this long to feel that sensation. But I have the solution….Bite me."

Pony's eyes widened, "B-bite you?"

Adam grinned as his eyes showed some type of glow, "Yes."

Shaking, Pony's lips quivered when he slowly got closer to the vampire's neck just wanting the thirst to stop. When their skins touched Adam's breath hitched, "Now bite."

The teen's fangs sunk into his neck, Adam's eyes closed feeling his body shake in delight. He could feel his own blood being drunk. Not containing himself, his hand went to Pony's throat stopping him, "You know, ever since I saw you for the first time back in the graveyard with that fool of a friend I couldn't stop thinking about you," his hand went down to his stomach, "Those green eyes you had that are now greyish blue," down to his belly button, "I find them somewhat," finally down to the groin, "Irresistible."

Ponyboy gasped in surprise at the uncomfortable move, his arms were trying to push him off, "Stop it! Stop it! Get off!"

As Adam was about to make another move he was slammed away, Sodapop was trembling in rage, "Don't. Fucking. Touch him."

Ponyboy fell to his knees disgusted, Johnny with everybody else in the gang was there, "You alright, man?"

"No," His friend whispered frightened.

Darry looked for the enemy, Dally made Steve and Twobit form some type of circle so Adam wouldn't go away. Sodapop was just about ready to kill him. Unfortunately for them it was too late. He was gone. All that was left was a puddle of blood. Sodapop growled throwing a rock to where the remaining scent was.

Twobit's eyes laid upon his youngest friend, "Holy freaking shit! Look at his eyes!"

Everybody stared, Pony's eyes had finally changed. They were very odd looking. Maybe even scary. Dally shrugged nonchalantly, "Tuff."

Darry growled, "He got away. We had a chance but damnit he got away!"

Steve put a hand on Sodapop's shoulder, "Didn't that Christopher guy say that he would be coming to feed Ponyboy every month or something?"

Ponyboy stood up with the help of Johnny, "He's going to come back soon. I can feel it."

Sodapop gritted his teeth in jealousy, "Oh, so now you can feel him?"

Darry, "He is part of that blood sucking bastard. Look Ponyboy. You tell us when you feel him very close. The only way to liberate you is to kill him. After what I saw I just wanna kill him. Murder him."

Pony nodded, "I will. I promise."

Some days later, Sodapop at night laid awake thinking of what had happened lately. All of the mess that the vampire made just because of that one bite. Nothing wasn't really the same. Or maybe it was but in his mind it was very different. Ponyboy was different. He wasn't just a werewolf, now he was a vampire too. It was a little hard to believe at first yet he accepted the fact that he wasn't going to be normal like them in their own way.

Facing Ponyboy who was sleeping peacefully next to him in the same bed, he observed his face closely smelling his breath. Ponyboy looked much younger when asleep. Sodapop traced a finger from his brother's eyebrows to his nose then to his cheeks and down to his peach colored lips. Licking his own he fantasized about him finally kissing them one day. Imagining the flavor, the softness.

Ponyboy yawned softly waking up, he saw Soda look over him. He blushed feeling something funny in the bottom of his stomach, "What are you doing?"

Soda smiled, "Get back to sleep Pone."

Pony bit his bottom lip thinking, "Are you mad at me?"

"Why would you say that?"

"Because I'm different. I'm-I'm weird. I'm Adam's."

Sodapop's eyes narrowed, "Don't say that."

"B-But I am. I mean, he bit me Soda. He bit me."

"You are not his Pony. You're not."

Ponyboy's eyes watered, "I feel disgusting Soda. He made me drink his blood. He touched me. I-I just-I-"

His brother interrupted, "Don't be. You're not his Pone. You're mine."

The boy stopped talking, "Yours?"

Soda nodded looking straight into his eyes, "Mine. And only mine."

Ponyboy swallowed a lump in his throat, His? Does that mean that…Sodapop…That I belong to Sodapop? Does that mean he loves me? Of course he loves me I'm his brother… But this love doesn't feel normal. It feels more. He loves me in a different way, his eyes widened getting it now, But-But I don't love him like that!... I think. I-

"It's okay Pony if you don't feel the same way."

"Sodapop, it's just that.-that, it's wrong. That kind of love is wrong."

Sodapop shrugged, "I can't help it."

Ponyboy remained silent trying to reason out his own feelings but it was just overwhelming with all the other stuff happening and yet at the same time he didn't want to hurt Sodapop. He didn't want to disappoint him if his own feeling weren't the same. Soda leaned in more towards Ponyboy reading him like an open book.

"It's really okay if you don't feel the same, Pone. Hell, we can forget this ever happened."

Pony shook his head, "No…It's just that…I just gotta think this through because I mean-I-I probably feel something too."

His brother smiled a bit, "Let's go to sleep Pone."

The young Curtis blushed a little, "But you know what? I prefer being yours than Adam's."

Sodapop put his arms around Pony protectively as his snuggled into his head, "Like I told you before, you are mine. And no one else's."
