Elena sat up trying to form the words to tell Sportacus that she was not his Elena when she noticed he was looking at her. She tilted her head in his direction.

Sportacus was grinning from ear to ear. "I love you my sweet smelling wife."

"Sweet smelling?"

"Your hair smells like grapes." He watched her brows furrow. "Alright, my wonderfully sexy, passionate wife. It's your fault, you know."

"What?"

"The way you move when you're asleep, when I rub your back. It gets me going every time."

"What are you talking about?" she asked curiously.

He demonstrated and she didn't believe him. "I wasn't going to tell you because it's something I adore about you, but, here, roll over."

"Oh no." She was not going to have another round of love making again.

"No, just do it." She rolled so her back was to him. "Now relax." And he rubbed her shoulders to relax her. Then he placed his hand on her back and rubbed it. Her legs and pelvis moved as before. "There."

"What? Nothing happened." She was unaware, so he did it again. And she moved again and gasped and got up. It was involuntary. She had no idea she was doing it. Then she thought of her Sportacus. "Why that little sneak."

"Who?"

"You. Why you little sneak."

"It's just so cute and very sexy."

"You seem chipper for a guy we just rescued." She looked at some of the minor wounds. They were healing. "That's strange."

"What?"

"You're healing fast. I didn't think you were a fast-" but she'd never seen him injured. "How are you doing?"

"Better than yesterday." He answered with a grin.

"What about what happened to you?"

"Does it matter? You're back and I'm strong enough. I don't even feel her anymore." He said as he tossed an apple in the air and caught it.

She looked skeptical. "Ok...I'm going to shower. I'll be back." He happily bit the apple.

Elena turned on the shower and stepped in as she was going over in her mind what happened. She let the water run over her hair and her face as she tried to figure out what was going on. She was distracted by his back rubbing that she forgot to tell him about her so she would tell him after her shower.

"Knock, knock. Is this shower taken?"

"Yes." She said, but he stepped in anyway.

"Well, I guess we'll have to make the best of it." He turned her around to face him.

"Sportacus, I don't think-"

"Shh, that's the beauty of a shower. We don't need to think. Just tell me you love me, is all I want to hear."

"I love you."

"Now, just let me enjoy you."

And she let him. He kissed her and went down to her neck and gently bit again. Every time he was with her, he got stronger. Any visions of Loquia had been replaced with Elena.

"Sportacus, I need to tell you something." She moaned.

"It can wait." he said as he kissed and enjoyed her.


Lily was pacing in the living room. She heard them again. In the shower. This was not going to bode well for Sportacus when she tells him the news. How can she do this to her Sportacus? She was getting just as confused. She sat herself down in the chair and waited for them to come out. To keep herself busy she, again, went though her book she found.


Robbie went to Loquia. She was sitting in her chair thinking. "Anything you'd like to talk about?" He watched her. She wasn't mad like the day before. Or at least as mad.

"I may have lost Sportacus to the again alive Elena, but they'll both be in for a surprise."

"What do you mean?"

She just smiled. "She may be dead already and I'll have him back. It won't take much to break him again."


Elena got dressed fast, hair still wet, and ran out in the living room where Lily was waiting. She stood up.

"Are you out of your mind? How are you going to tell him your not his Elena, that she's really dead, if you're making love every half hour? This is going to mess with his head even more." She whispered sternly.

"It's messing with my head! I had no intention of doing that..as many times as we did. It just happened!" She whispered back.

"What are you talking about?"

"I wish I knew. He said he was going to make love to me and we did. He wanted to hear me tell him 'I love you' and I did. I don't know how or why it happened. The strange thing is I'm tired and he's not."

"Hello my sexy wife. You took off out of the bedroom quite fast." He walked over and put his arms around her.

"Sportacus, I have to tell you something."

"It can wait for a bit. Why don't you sit down and I'm going to make us some food." she sat down. Lily was surprised when she did.

"Sportacus, what about our vampire problem?" Lily asked.

He sighed. "Well, if she's not here now..."

That's because I placed a barrier on the cave. But it wears off at midday tomorrow.

"Just let me have my time. This is the best I've felt in month. Just a few hours is all I ask."

"I think we've had that." Elena commented. She felt something wet on her neck. She went to wipe it off. She looked at it and gasped. They turned to her and saw blood on her hand from her neck.

"What happened? Are you alright?" He ran over very concerned. "Here, come with me." She went with him.

"Wait. Let me take care of her."

"Why?"

"Woman's intuition."

"What? She's my wife. I will take care of her. Elena you're coming with me." He pulled her into the bathroom.

"Sportacus! Please let me. I think I know what's going on."

He opened the door and looked at her. "Lily, leave me alone. I have to help my wife. Just go and sit down until I'm done." Lily turned to the living room and sat down and waited.

Sportacus had Elena remove her top and he saw blood dripping down her front. He got a wash cloth and licked his lips. "Are you alright?" He asked.

"Just a little tired."

"Well, we were pretty active this morning." He said as he wet the cloth. Then he looked at her neck.

"Aren't you going to clean my neck?"

"Hm? Oh yes. Sorry. I don't know what I was thinking."

"Sportacus, we need to talk. There's something going on and I think you are not yourself."

"What do you mean? I've never felt better." He moved her long hair to her other shoulder and tilted her neck as he held the cloth in his hand.

"Well, I'm sure, but there is something wrong with you." Her heart rate picked up.

"I'm fine." He whispered.

"Is that why you've been looking at my neck for the past five minutes and not cleaned it?"

"What do you mean?" He looked at his hand. There was a wet cloth ready to go and he still had not brought it up to clean the blood. He licked his lips again. "Just let me...look at it." He turned her to face him. He watched as it rolled down her front. His eyes got big.

"Sportacus I-"

"Shh. I can clean this." He looked hungry.

'Oh my god', she thought. 'He's a vampire.' She was trying to say something. He wasn't even aware he was doing it.

He leaned down and licked the blood that was slowly streaming down her chest. He licked it right up her breast and went up to her neck.

She was trying to stay calm. There had to be something she can do. He was licking her neck. She winced. She tried to get into his mind. Her and Sportacus had connected before. She wasn't sure how he did it but she had to try. Then she felt him hold her arms firmly and he bit her again. She only thought one word. Vampire. Over and over again.

He pulled back "Oh you taste so sweet my love."

Vampire. Vamp-the world was spinning. Darkness was enveloping her. She became heavy in Sportacus's arms.

"What?" She was unconscious. "Elena! Elena! Are you alright?" Then he turned and saw his reflection. He saw teeth and blood and he was painfully aware of what he was doing. "NO!" He picked up Elena and put her on the bed and backed away. He was shaking his head in disbelief. His eyes watered. "No, no. This can't be! Lily! Come here!"

She ran in and saw Elena on the bed. She ran and got the cloth from the bathroom then back to Elena.

"What's happening? What did I do?"

"You've been feeding off of her. You weren't aware. But we just figured out something was amiss when you told her what do do and she did it when she..."

"Loquia!" He was fueled with anger. "Is she alright?"

She felt a pulse. "She's alive." He left the room and she went after him. "You know what happened the last time, Sportacus! Don't go! You can't get in anyway! There is a barrier." He stopped for a moment then left. She went back to Elena.


"Come Robbie. We are going to have a visitor very soon." She smiled. "Grab a couple of chairs and follow me."

Sportacus ran and called to for his flypod, jumped in and headed into the forest.

Robbie and Loquia sat near the entrance when they heard a familiar voice.

"LOQUIA!" And it was mad.

"Music to my ears." She glanced at Robbie. Then they saw Sportacus approach the entrance and stop.

"What have you done to me?!" He demanded to know.

"Who, me? I did nothing out of the ordinary. Why do you ask?"

"You turned me into a vampire!"

"Oh that. Yeah, nothing out of the ordinary. I was only doing what I was going to to anyway. How's the wife?"

"Alive." He said calmly. She didn't like that.

"Well, she won't want you for very much longer. But I'll be happy to take you in." She playfully sucked on her finger.

"If this barrier wasn't here-"

"-You'd be back in my bedroom. Did you miss me? Did you tell her we kissed and how much you wanted me?" She blew him a kiss.

"Yes, I did. And she forgave me. In fact, because of what you did, we made love several times. Enough to get you out-of-my-mind." He smiled. "It made me strong enough to resist you."

'They made love?' Robbie thought. 'It figures.'

She ran at the barrier, furious, and she fell backwards. "As soon as this barrier is gone, I'm coming to LazyTown to kill that witch and Elena. Maybe I'll turn her then starve her then rip her throat out again and rip her from limb from limb. I wonder if she'll ever recover from that?"

He got in his flypod and left back to LazyTown.

"Let me know as soon as this comes down. I'm hungry for elf." And she went back inside.

Robbie curiously walked up to the barrier and touched it. He felt nothing. He kept walking and he was outside. He could pass through it. He thought for a moment then walked back in. He smiled again. He decided to wait until she was asleep then take a little stroll...
