Katie flinched, but luckily was passed out. She slowly stopped breathing at first as her blood was drained away.

Cherry finished the drinking and wiped her mouth, licking her lips a little. "I knew that girl's blood was as sweet as her soul..." she murmured hungrily.

"You did well on your first try, Cerise." Forte actually smiled to her.

Willy knew Katie wasn't going to be hurt anyway, but he was just heartbroken to see her in that kind of almost comatose state. Katie's wound healed slowly. Her face pale, but peaceful.

"K-K-Katie, how do you feel?" Willy quickly asked. "Did it hurt? Are you going to be okay?"

"Calm down, Wilbur, you're acting more worried than Katie was before you just came in." Forte chuckled a little.

Willy smiled apologetically to everyone. "Sorry..."

"She'll be fine, but also, she will not die by nature anymore..." Cherry said as her baby fangs were starting to disappear and she looked like her normal self. "You won't have to worry about becoming a widower, Willy."

Katie looked over at Willy. She smiled softly a little, though she felt a bit thirsty. She could smell the chocolateer's blood, sweet and rich... Like the confection he made. She trembled very slightly as she tried to hold herself still. Willy smiled back, a tear rolling down his cheek. She was okay now, he knew it for sure now.

"How do you feel?" Forte asked the new vampire mistress.

Katie swallowed thickly, her gaze not leaving Willy's. "Thirsty." she whispers.

"Oh, do you want some water?" Willy rubbed his neck.

"I don't think she means that..." Cherry said rather urgently.

Katie's gaze fixed on his neck. She tensed and tried to resist, though her body was leaning towards him.

Willy blinked, he then thought it over and thought it would be good if he and Katie were both immortal and bitten to live forever. "If you think it's best..."

"It would be good for both of you if you were both creatures of the night..." Forte suggested as he put an arm around Cherry, kind of holding her close to him.

Katie tensed more, like a coiled spring.

Forte came over to Katie. "Would you like me to be your Sire?" he asked her.

Cherry was a little nervous to see Katie react like that. Was she like that when Forte bit her? Katie looked at him, nodding a little. She felt otherwise she could kill Willy if she tasted even a drop, as she wouldn't be able to stop.

Forte tried to remember what he told Cherry and what he was told when he became one and explained the rules and regulations slowly and clearly to Katie for her to be able to understand. "Do you think you got it, Katie?" he asked her once he finished explaining the best he could to someone of her level of understanding and hoped he had not scared her.

Katie nodded slowly.

"Do you wish to know anything else?" Forte asked her.

Katie shook her head. She looked ready to lunge at Willy again though, the scent of his blood intoxicating. Forte reminded her of the technique to bite in a way that would not kill him. Willy was afraid, but he was willing to let Katie take his blood, anything to keep them in happiness together forever.

"Still a better love story than Twilight." Cherry commented.

"Do not remind me of that film media garbage that should be burned like Calpurnia Addams at the stake," Forte folded his arms.

Cherry looked up. "If they had children, would they become vampires too?"

"Non, Cerise, they would need to be bitten too actually, I'm not sure what makes it that way though, for example, if you and I had children, I might bite them." Forte explained.

Cherry laughed out loud then. "Me having your kids, now that's funny!"

Forte hummed lowly then, watching Katie have at Willy. Katie went up to Willy and then sunk her fangs in his neck, wanting him not to feel pain though. She groaned slightly and started to drink harder. Willy actually didn't seem to mind or worry about the pain inflicted on his neck. Forte waited for Katie to finish, he then folded his sleeve so his arm would come out more.


"Yeesh... I never noticed how thin your arm is..." Cherry looked surprised and disgusted at the same time.

Katie didn't seem like she was going to stop. She couldn't help it though.

"Hold her back." Forte commanded Cherry.

Cherry did that, holding Katie back, she was doing too much.

"Katie, you must stop right now..." Forte said to the older girl, yet shorter, he didn't change his tone of voice.

Katie was almost wild-looking in her eyes. She growled slightly.

Forte was able to get Katie to stop. "Goodness, child..." He didn't mean to call her a little kid or anything, but he called anyone younger than him a child, especially if he was looking after them. "Here..." he bit into his wrist and allowed Katie to take some of his blood, letting him become her Sire like she had wanted.

Katie drank a bit of his blood, it working and calming her down. Forte moved his sleeve back over, his hands behind his back and smiling a little.


Willy rubbed his neck, the blood was nearly gone, but he was now one of them. "Wow..." he whispered, never imagining he would turn into one too.

Cherry looked up to her 'sister'. "How you feeling, Kat?"

"Better... Sorry." Katie says softly to both Willy and Maestro. She hugged her 'sister' then Maestro, then finally went over and hugged Willy.

Forte blinked in the hug, but softly smiled. Willy hugged Katie tightly back.

"Would you two like to stay?" Forte offered. "I was just about to serve Cerise her dinner."

Katie looked at Willy, it was up to him.

"Let me just make a call to assure everything's alright," Willy stated. "Where's the phone?"

"There's one in the old office, there'll be a weird ring at first, but it'll still operate." Cherry stated, being a little familiar.

"Thank you." Willy nodded, then went to the office.

"Don't worry," Forte smirked to Katie. "I'll hold off on the vegetables for your helping."

Katie chuckled. "Good." she says.

Forte went to check on dinner he made in the kitchen of the church.

Cherry looked over to Katie as she was comfortable, this church was kind of cold and dark. "Weird to come in here the first tme after he moved in... It was actually kinda scary, but I'm used to him now."

Katie smiled gently at her friend.

"He was like the Phantom of the Opera." Cherry smirked.

"Everybody compares me to that man," Forte was heard from the kitchen. "Though I inspired him around the time Gaston Leroux was coming up with that story."

Cherry was a little weirded out, mostly by the name 'Gaston' used with stories.

Katie smiled. "I love that book... and the movies... and the musical." she says.

"It's still on my movie/book bucket list," Cherry said. "You are not that old though!"

"Yes, I am, Cerise," Forte laughed a little. "I told Mr. Leroux though that I didn't exactly wish to be noticed by that much, so he changed a few things so I would become the Phantom everybody knows and loves... Well, mostly everyone."

Katie smiled at her future husband (Willy).


Willy made some final notes, then hung up off the phone with a smile and came back. "Sorry that took so long, dear..."

Katie wrapped her arms around him. Willy smiled, hugging her back, gently patting her on the back.

"You guys should have kids if you want," Cherry shrugged. "Not just for the inheritance, but... I know how much Katie wants to be a mother..."

Katie blushed, smiling.

Willy blushed a bit too. "Let's just see where the honeymoon takes us~" he nearly sang as he held Katie.

Cherry went to go check on dinner, holding her stomach, she became instantly hungry once the smell wafted in her face. Katie looked up at Willy.

Willy smiled softly. "Would you like to have kids someday? It's okay if you don't, I'm just saying, someday, I would actually like to be a father... I think it's a wonderful honor in somebody's life to become a parent... If you don't want to have my kids, I understand though..."

Katie put her hand on his mouth. "Shh~ Of course I want kids." she says.

Willy smiled from behind her hand, gently putting it down. "Of course after the wedding." He agreed with her on that commitment, no such activity until after they were officially husband and wife.

"Dinner is ready." Forte called gently from the kitchen as he took out plates to serve everyone.


Katie nodded, then slipped playfully from his grasp and tried to beat him to the kitchen on her own.

"Hey..." Willy called playfully, and went along with her.

Katie giggled, just about to go through the door. Cherry got out of the way to let Katie and Willy get their homemade dinner.

Forte was making a nice sized portion on the plate as the first serving for them and looked surprised. "Oh, I didn't realize my cooking was that admirable."

Katie smiled at Forte. "Maestro, I know you're a good cook... I can tell by the scent." she smiles.

"I don't cook very often..." Forte chuckled.

"It's actually pretty good, you should eat some of it..." Cherry said as she helped herself to preparing her food the way she liked it.

Willy took his plate after he was served. Katie thanked Maestro quietly, smiling. Forte smiled, he then decided to join them, but actually wasn't going to eat with them. Cherry led them to the dining part of the church which was turned into a private table with other chairs like a customary dining hall, even if only one person technically lived here. Katie looked around in awe.

"This is pretty impressive." Willy said about the decor.

"Yeah, he's been living here for... Two years now, I wanna say." Cherry stated based on what she knew.

"I've actually been here since you were about to start high school, I wanted to make my appearance for when you'd be ready." Forte informed her.

Katie blinked slowly.


"Does anyone pray before they eat?" Forte asked, mostly since they were in a church.

"If one of you needs to, I'll pray with you." Willy informed.

Cherry shrugged. "I don't care."

Katie shook her head.

"Lt's all eat then." Cherry smirked.

Willy nodded. "Let's."

Forte had a small smile, he felt that this would be good from now on without anymore worrying, though he had to wonder what was going on with Rodney and Nichole Black now with their foiled plans. Katie was more concerned about Moriarty. Cherry was worried too, but tried not to let it bother her.

Forte sat with them, not eating. "Cerise, did you finish your homework?"

"Yes..." Cherry answered, a little annoyed.

Katie's mind was elsewhere.


In the boarding school, the girls were having free time, many were reading or were with dolls. The light brown-haired girl was playing with a note she was given, then called.

"Claudia Black, you have a visitor." a sister told her.

The girl named Claudia stood up straight and went to meet her visitor and saw it was Nichole. "Mummy!" she ran to the woman, hugging her legs instantly. "I thought you and Daddy were never coming!"

Nichole looked at her daughter and hugged her. "Hello, sweetie~" she smiles gently.
