Chapter 12: 'Guess what you are!' Said Vince...

Forever turned and fell from her bed...

again.

She cringed as she waited for impact...

again.

Forever felt a small amount of pressure on her chest as something held her back. Wait. Something had stopped her from falling from her impending doom that was sure to be at end of the 2-foot drop? (Drama queen, no?)

"Dracula?" she slurred like a drunken person.

"Jonathan..." he corrected.

"Jonathan?"

"Yes... Now if you don't mind I have to go find the Count. Do you know were he sleeps?"

She blinked, "Ummm... somewhere up a tower...or in the basement... how the Hell should I know..." Forever paused, "Maybe he's outside..."

"Yeah, maybe. I'll go check..." he said as he helped lie back down on the bed. After he was sure that she was comfortable, he walked out.

Forever blinked her eyes. Something was off, but what? She moved her hands to her stomach for what felt like the third time that evening and pressed down. She waited for the pain that usually accompanied stupid actions such as these but when nothing came she grew suspicious.

"Ow," Forever whispered as she moved her hand up to her face to rub away the sleep from her eyes only to realize that her vision was clear. She wasn't wearing her glasses. Forever pushed on her face a bit harder to confirm her suspicions. "Ooookaaay." she said to herself. "What's going on? And why is there no hole?" she asked herself as she poked her side with one hand and probed her face for any signs of glasses with the other. "And why can I see all clear like?!" Forever yelped. "This is not NORMAL!!" She jumped out of her bed, wobbled a little bit because she jumped up to fast, and ran down the stone hall looking for Jonathan.

"Jonathan!" she shouted, surprised by the way her voice boomed down the halls. Wasn't she just stabbed in the gut? Shouldn't her voice be a bit raspier? But there is the whole thing that your voice box really isn't in your gut, more like your thought.

She ran down the stairs and kept calling out for him until she ran to the very bottom floor. 'I don't remember ever being down here before...' she thought trying to remember when was the last time she came down there.

Forever looked across the hall and then walked outside. She looked up at the sky and saw the full moon. As Forever looked up at the night sky she felt a strange sort of power flow throughout her body and to be honest... she liked it. She shook the feeling off as she remembered the reason why she was out there anyway.

Forever ran around in circles looking for Jonathan when it hit her. "He could be on any of these floors in this Godforsaken castle, not only on this one," she lectured herself.

Forever huffed in frustration and looked up at the sky once more. She smiled as she let the moonlight relax her. She sighed in contentment when she saw something move within her eyesight. She turned her head toward the tower AND SAW SOMETHING CRAWL OUT THE WINDOW LIKE A SPIDER!!!

Her mouth fell open as she stared at the spider thing wide eyed. She started to shake her head in denial when she something else at the corner of her eye. When she focused, she realized that it was a figure. Jonathan.

"Jonny!" she shouted, once more amazed by her voice.

He glanced at her for a mere second and looked back at the tower. After the thing was out of sight he turned to her. "Was it just me, or did you see that too?" he asked amazingly calm.

Forever thought, 'Book, Book, book... what the hell happened in that damned book?' she asked wondering were Vince was. He would've known what to say. By the way, he understood the book better than her anyways. He's the one that that had to explain half of the crap that went on when they first read it. 'Ummmm... was he supposed to see that... YES!! YES HE WAS!!! I think...'

"Yeah... I saw it too... do you know what it was?"

"It looked like a human figure. That's for certain. But what was it carrying?"

"A bag." Forever answered immediately.

"How are you sure?" he said looking at her suspiciously. "It's so dark outside. I can barely see you and your right in front of me." his eyes narrowed.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It's not that dark," she countered.

He glared at her. "What about your wounds? Normally a person would take months' to be able to walk around and yell that loudly after being mortally injured like that. Actually, a normal person would have probably died on the spot. How did you manage to survive?"

'This is not how Jonathan normally acts. What's wrong with him?' she began to think. "Jonathan what's going on?"

He looked at her as his eyes returned to normal, "Oh. Nothing. I've just been noticing creepy stuff around here lately." he shook his head. "I guess that I've been a bit paranoid."

"Oh... you don't have to worry about me. I'm always gonna be the same." Forever promised. "Pinky swear." she said as she picked up her pinky and hooked it around his.

Jonathan didn't know what to do about this because this was new to him. "Jonathan," Forever said trying not to laugh. "You're supposed to shake it." He looked at her as if she grew a tail. "Jonathan? That's called a pinky swear. It's like a promise," she informed. He's expression stayed the same but now he was looking in a different direction. "Jon?"

He grabbed her hand with his tight fist and dragged her inside. "Forever," he gasped. He seemed breathless even though they had only walked ten feet. "Forever don't be scared but," he gulped, "The thing that crawled out of that window just crawled into your bedroom."

Her eyes widened, "No way. Lets go see it!" she said excitedly as she tugged at his sleeve. She never really was afraid of this kind of stuff; she actually looked for trouble like that.

"No! Are you stupid or mad or... CRAZY?!" Jonathan yelled, "I just saw something crawl into your bedroom window like a spider and you want to go and see it?!"

She paused as she looked at him and began walked toward the stairs. "... Yeah..."

Jonathan looked at her then began to rub his temples, "I must be out of my mind..." He began to follow her up the stairs to... whatever floor Forever's room was.

When Forever reached her room she looked around to see were Jonathan was. "Jonathan! Hurry up!" she stage whispered to him loud enough for him to hear. She turned to look toward the door but still kept one of her hands frantically waving for him to hurry up.

As soon as he was at her side she slowly pushed the door open. As soon as it had enough space to fit her head in, Forever's head came in. Soon after Jonathan followed suite. They both looked from left to right, looking for the spider thing. It could be anywhere.

Forever soon got bored and pushed the door completely open. Jonathan was not expecting this and almost fell but Forever caught him by the collar before he did. "This is no time for comedy Nny." (if you guys get the reference to the little nickname there I will hug you!) she said when she realized who had crawled through her window.

"Do you see it?" he asked, not able to see in the darkness.

"No Jonathan. Leave."

He looked at her. "Why? Forever I'm not going to leave you alone in here, especially-"

"I'm going to go to sleep. I need to get changed." she interrupted him. She turned to him and with a plastic smile plastered to her face. "Good night, Jonathan." she said sounding allot like a Chucky doll.

She pushed him out the door as he tried to stop her. Once he was out she grabbed a chair and propped it against her door to make sure that he didn't try and sneak in.

"Alright. Now come out." She said rather loudly. When no one came she grew irritated. "Vladimir Dracula the III, son of Vladimir Dracul the II come out right now!"

Slowly Dracula creped out from behind her bed as he cleared his thought nervously, "Good to see that your up."

"Out of all of the places that you could have hidden, you choose behind my bed." she shook her head in disappointment.

All of the sudden Dracula's face got really annoyed. "Then go ahead! I'll still hear you!! I'll just read her mind like I did before when she was asleep!" He yelled at... the air?

"Ummm... Draccy?"

"Vince wants to talk to you..."

She looked at him in shock. "You know... how did you... what?"

"He can move from one body to the next. He's been really worried about you."

Her mouth gaped open, "He can do that?"

'Yes... '

"Since when?"

'Ummm... can't answer you there, BUT now I can go through your memories and switch body's with people.' he continued with a proud air about his voice.

"Cool."

'I know.'

"I have a surprise for you." Dracula said out of the blue.

"What?" asked Forever.

"Guess what you are!" Vince and Dracula said at the same time.

Forever's eyebrows pulled together as she walked over to her bag. She had a clue on what they were talking about but she had to make sure that they weren't just playing a joke on her.

She dug around for a few moments to pull out a small hand held mirror. She looked at her reflection to notice nothing. Forever slowly opened her mouth.

Two sharp fangs.

She looked at her eyes. Blue with a rim of red making the center a light shade of purple.

She turned to face Dracula. Her mouth gaped as she looked back at her reflection and her eyes widened. She repeated this action several times.

"Wha... bu... whe... " she stuttered. She looked at him as he just smiled his big, creepy, yet at the same time goofy smile. She walked over to her bed. But right before she could sit on it, she fainted out of shock, excitement, joy, and 'OMG!'-ness.

"I think that she took that well." Dracula said to no one in particular as he left the room.

---A/N---

Why heelloooo my wonderful readers. I'm sorry that this to so long to write and sure its as crappy as ever, but keep in mind that I stayed up until 3:08 a.m trying to word this. I guess not everyone can work like Jhonen...oh well...

I busted my lip at school to day. I was awesome! It was all bloody! My whole lip was covered in blood as well as my teeth! I was laughing so hard at my stupidity! Hey, it's my own fault for being over dramatic! Hehe... I didn't cry. No, I laughed my ass off. What else can you do in a situation where your lip is bleeding and you have a rug burn on your chin?
