XII: A Change

I think you should give BlackCatTrain a round of applause and some cookies, because that was a damned awesome chapter.

Disclaimer- I don't own Black Car or Lynelle.

On a side note, part of this chapter will be done in a narrative POV so that the part that I have in mind is easier. Then it will go back to Train's POV.

XXXXXXXXXX

When I opened my eyes again, it was night, and I was glad for that. I could hear low voices coming from the kitchen. That was my first destination to begin with, I needed more blood. I was starting to think that all this blood was just plain over rated. I walked in and everyone looked at me.

"Train, we've been talking about how to keep vampires out of my apartment, and I was wondering if we could try a few things on you." Wiley said. At least she was honest with their intentions. I knew that there were dangers, but it was the only way to figure everything out. I'm sure that if she wanted to she could go and capture another vampire and do her tests on them, but I figured that I'd save her the trouble. She had done so much for me already.

"Can I get a drink first?" I asked.

"No, you'll just need more afterwards. We're running low and I haven't had a chance to go get more yet. You'll submit, or you'll get the hell out of my apartment." Wiley added with a stern look towards me. I knew that she was kidding, but I didn't want to take the chance, so I nodded. Wiley got up from her kitchen stool and then headed towards the cupboards. She grabbed a few things from them and then headed back towards me.

After setting them up on the table she grabbed one and threw it at me. I didn't bother dodging it because she didn't throw it hard. When it got near me I could smell that it was garlic. The smell made me scrunch my nose, but other wise it didn't effect me. Wiley saw that and wrote something down on a piece of paper I hadn't noticed before.

Jenos decided that it was his turn. I still didn't like him, but I knew that this was for everyone's good. He came at me with a steak of silver, the second it got within my arms reach I could feel the sting of the metal, and I backed away. It could feel that some of my skin was burned. Wiley wrote it down. I looked over to Lynn to make sure that she was doing okay, she seemed a little worried, but otherwise she was okay.

"Well, that's it. Other than, holy water." Wiley said as she held up a small vial of holy water. I raised my eyebrow at her. "Don't ask how I got it, or where I got it from. You don't want to know." Wiley said.

"I'll take your word for it." Wiley held out her hand for my arm. I put my arm in her hand and she sprinkled some holy water on me. At first it was just like normal water, and then it started to burn and eat away at my skin. I hissed in pain and Wiley grabbed a towel to soak all the water from my skin. "Alright, add holy water to the yes list." Wiley added. Jenos scribbled some things down.

"I can get a drink now right?" I asked. Wiley nodded. I headed over without hesitation and got out two canisters, there was one more left. I downed them easily. All those tests, with the silver and the holy water, they took a lot out of me, and I guess that was the point. If it did this to me, imagine what it would do to the others who didn't know about it.

"Lynelle." I heard Wiley say. I looked over to see what was going on. "Come with me please." Wiley added. Lynn walked over to Wiley and followed her out of the room towards Wiley's bedroom. I didn't know what was going on in Wiley's bedroom, I guess that Wiley had done something to her bedroom to make it impervious. I suppose that she would have to because a demon's hearing is actually better than a vampires. Vampires are humans turned dark, but demons are born dark, so demons were more powerful than vampires. Of course Wiley wasn't as strong as me because she was only half. Talk about complications.

Then I started to wonder. If I could turn from a half-vampire, to a full-vampire, could Wiley change from a half-demon to a full-demon. Before I started to wonder too much, I pushed the thought from my mind and turned to Jenos.

"Thanks for patching up Lynn when she tore her wing off." I said to him.

"It was no trouble." Jenos said. He stared at the list and continued to write down things. I guess Wiley and Jenos were going to get the stuff that worked against me from stores. I couldn't imagine how much this was going to cost them. "If we install all the things that will protect us against these vampires, no doubt that you're going to feel some of the effects from it. It shouldn't be too much though." Jenos explained. I nodded.

A few minutes later Wiley and Lynn walked out of her room. Wiley was looking a little guilty, but I couldn't imagine why. Wiley never wore emotions like that out there on her sleeve. She always kept them to herself.

"What went on in there?" I asked. Wiley looked at me with her guilty silver eyes. "Tell me." I ordered, I knew that she wouldn't like it, but she could just deal with that.

"I gave Lynelle a silver necklace. It will protect her from you incase you decide to drink from her. Train, before you even-" I cut Wiley off.

"Do you honestly think that I could ever do that to Lynn!?" I growled at her. I was pissed! "I would neve-"

"DAMN IT TRAIN!" Wiley growled at me. I was surprised by how much emotion she'd put into the growl and I stopped screaming at her. "If you would let someone finish when they're trying to explain something to you, you would understand why I did what I did." Wiley said with her eyes narrowed. All the guilt that had been in her eyes seconds before was gone. I stopped and listened for fear of my life. "I gave Lynelle that necklace because the more you drink blood, the more reliant on it you become. I tried to explain this once before to you, but you wouldn't listen then. Soon enough you will become a wild blood drinking vampire like the rest of them, and there will be nothing that you can do about that. It will happen if you continue to down the blood like you have been doing. You often look at Lynelle's neck greedily, you may not notice it, but I do. This is just insurance. If you can't trust me not to do it to spite you, or to anger you, then I don't know why you're still here." What Wiley explained cut me deeply. She was right, and I had been too pig headed to listen to her.

"I'm sorry." I said. "I should have listened to you in the first place, and I shouldn't have jumped onto you like that." I looked at Wiley and hoped that she would forgive me. I wasn't sure if she ever forgave anything that someone did to her.

"It's fine. Remember what I told you the last time we had a talk similar to this." Wiley added to me. I nodded my head and she headed back into the kitchen. I guess that we all were on night shift now. No one seemed tired. I headed towards the couch. The whole not drinking blood thing would be hard to over come. Since I had such great friends, I knew that I could do it.

"I trust you Train." Lynn said as she sat down on the couch next to me. She leaned her head on my shoulder and I wrapped my arm around her shoulders. "Wiley just wants to make sure that neither of us gets hurt."

"I know. I shouldn't have jumped on her like I did. I guess sometimes small things hurt too much to wait and hear why it had to be done." I said. Lynn nodded her head against my shoulder.

I knew that Wiley and Jenos were in the kitchen having a talk. Their whispers were so low that I couldn't hear them without focusing my attention on them. I didn't know what they were talking about, but I didn't really care. I had the most beautiful girl leaning her head on my shoulder and that's all that mattered.

Lynn turned on the TV to give them some extra privacy. I couldn't help myself. I leaned over to her and kissed her. Lynn kissed me back and soon enough things became deeper. Before I knew it I had my hand on Lynn's bare skin. I realized what was going on and I stopped.

"That was the best kiss that I've ever had." Lynn said. I guess she knew why I stopped. I smiled at her, and then we returned our attention towards the TV.

"Train, Lynelle," Wiley said as she grabbed her coat. It was a normal one so I knew that she wasn't going to work. "Jenos and I are going to go out for a little air. Make sure that you keep a low profile so that no one knows you're here, alright?" Wiley asked.

"Yes mom," Lynn and I answered at the same time. She sent us a glare, and we laughed. Wiley simply rolled her eyes and walked out of her apartment. With Jenos in tow.

"So, Train," Lynn began, "They're gone." She pulled me into a kiss and things just went from there.

-Wiley and Jenos-

Wiley and Jenos were walking towards a park. It was a small one, and they were currently the only ones there. They were walking hand-in-hand and smiling. It had been so long since they'd actually gotten to spend any time together. Alone.

Train and Lynelle were there with them, and that just made things difficult. Sure there were a lot of times that Wiley could have told them to get lost, but they might as well have been family. Wiley did things for Train that she wouldn't do for anyone else. For example; she got Train blood. You had to have a special place in her heart in order for her to do that.

Over head the stars were obscured from sight because of dark clouds. They looked to hold raid within them.

"How long has it been since we've taken a walk through the park?" Jenos asked.

"I don't know. All I know is that it's been too long." Wiley answered as she turned towards Jenos. She kissed him, and Jenos smiled and kissed her back. His arms wrapped around her waist and her arms wrapped around his neck to pull them closer together. They were enjoying the time alone together.

They were so focused on each other that they didn't notice when someone walked up behind them. They only noticed when a hand was shoved through Wiley's chest.

"You shouldn't leave your guard down." A voice said in a cruel whisper. Wiley scowled and tried to lash out towards the person with her claws, but she was too slow. Pain and not enough air or blood was slowing her down. They laughed harshly.

"Bastard!" Jenos growled as he went after the man. It was the same man that had gone after Train in Wiley's apartment. With another laugh the man disappeared into the darkness. He was gone and there was nothing to be done about it. Jenos ran over to Wiley who was lying on the ground with her eyes closed. "Wiley. Wiley, are you okay?" Jenos asked as he lifted her head off of the ground and onto his lap.

"Jenos, I'm not going to make it past tonight." Wiley said. Her eyes were already blurred from the blood loss, and her lips were blue because she wasn't getting enough air into her system.

"What do you mean you're not going to make it past tonight!? You have to!" Jenos yelled.

"The chances of me living are a billion in one." Wiley managed as she coughed up some blood.

"There has to be a way! What about your demon half?" Jenos asked. He felt the prick of tears in his eyes, but he refused to cry. Without warning a clash of thunder was heard over head, and the rain started pouring down on them, drenching them in a second. At the mention of her demon half Wiley's eyes went wide. She'd forgotten all about that.

Ever since she was little she had always wanted to die as a human. That was before she met Jenos. Now that she was faced with death she realized just how much she didn't want to die.

"There is...a way." Wiley said. "After this I won't be human. I'll be a demon. Not a half demon, but a full demon. I will act...a little differently...and i will...look a little different...as well...but I will still be the same...person." Wiley explained.

"Do it. I can't lose you." Jenos said as he finally let the tears flow. Wiley nodded and closed her eyes. He watched her carefully, but nothing seemed to happen. Then he noticed that she wasn't breathing. His heart wouldn't believe this...she was dead.

"Don't worry..." Wiley said suddenly. He felt her lift her head from his lap, and he opened his eyes that he didn't realized he closed. "I'm alive, and I'm well." Jenos stared at her. Instead of her light hair she had dark hair and her eyes were orange, not to mention she had fangs like Train's.

"You're a full demon now?" Jenos asked.

"Yes." Wiley answered with a nod of her head.

"Which means?"

"I'm stronger, faster, and a million other things that I wasn't before. It will be almost impossible to kill me now. I don't have a heart that can be destroyed, so that is something I don't have to worry about. Things will be a little different, though. You might notice that I'll get violent at times." Wiley explained.

"Just as long as you're here." Jenos said with a smile. Wiley smiled back at him. "Let's get back before Train and Lynelle think that we rented a hotel room so we could have sex or something." Jenos added. Wiley laughed and they headed home.

-Train and Lynelle-

Lynn and I were watching TV again, and both of us were smilling like idiots. Holy damn that had been...everything good under the sun, well in my case, moon. It was a good thing that we finished when we did because not even five minutes later Wiley and Jenos walked in the door.

We weren't looking at them, but at the TV. I could sense that something wasn't the same as when they left, but I couldn't place my finger on what it was. I looked up to Jenos. No, it wasn't him. He was the same old Jenos. Then I looked to Wiley. Black hair. That wasn't normal.

"What happened that we missed?" I asked. "Did you dye your hair or something?" I asked, but I knew that it had nothing to do with hair dye. Deep inside of me, I knew exactly what had happened. I just didn't want to admit it.

"No." Wiley answered simply and then walked into the kitchen. Lynn was staring at Wiley, she knew what had happened as well. To test my therory, I took the remote control and threw it at Wiley. I put all the strength behind it. It zipped across the distance between us in a second flat. Wiley's hand shot up and grabbed it out of the air without her looking at it. "Nice test." Wiley commented as she pulled out a few left overs.

"What happened?" I demanded as I walked over and took a seat at a kitchen stool. Lynn sat next to me, she wanted to know as badly as I did, and we were going to find out. Either from Wiley or Jenos.

"We were taking a walk through the park, just Jenos and I, and we were too caught up in the moment to realize that your old partner was watching us. He stabbed me through the chest, and I was dying. In order to save myself I had to sacrifice my physical heart to become a full demon and live." Wiley explained as she ate her food. "You know what happened, so why did you ask?" Wiley turned her metallic orange eyes on me, and I knew that it was true. I could see something in her eyes that wasn't there. It was a lust for death that could never be quenched.

"I wanted to be sure before I jumped to conclusions." I answered. Wiley nodded and continued to eat her food. Healing took a lot of energy from someone. With the injury that she hadn't described, but talked about, I knew that they had been pretty bad. "Come on Lynn. Let's watch the last of that movie." I said. I just wanted to get away from the feeling that I was getting from Wiley.

The feeling was dark. That was the only word to describe it. Dark. It was too dark even for a vampire, and I was surprised at that. I knew that they were born from dark things, but I didn't think that they were that dark.

"Train, I don't like the feeling that Wiley gives off now. It feels like death. Like when I was sent to Earth." Lynn said to me.

"We'll get used to it." I said. It was a lie, but I wished that it wasn't. Wiley was different, but she was still Wiley. She would never hurt us in anyway, just like I wouldn't hurt Lynn. That's all that mattered. After a while Wiley left and went to sleep, Jenos went with her. The trauma of almost losing her didn't leave fast, and he wanted to be with her for as long as possible. Lynn and I stayed up to watch the movie.

Change. It was definetly a change from the norm. I wondered if all of us were going to change. Jenos was the last one that needed to be changed. I hope that I didn't jinx him. With my luck, I did...
