Big Time Bite: Aftermath

Logan P.O.V.

I watched in horror as James fell to the ground, the branch still lodged in his heart. I ran over to him to see the pained expression on his face. I also noticed that his eyes had gone back to their normal hazel color. "Come on James you can't die now! We just got you back!" I couldn't believe that after everything we had gone through this is how it all ends. "L-Logan..." I winced at the hoarseness of James' voice. I could tell that it was getting hard for him to breathe. "Don't talk James. You need to save up your energy if you have any chance of making it out of this." I told him hoping he would take my advice which, thankfully, he did. I was debating whether or not to remove the stake from his chest or not. It looked like he was in the process of transitioning back to human because a little bit of color was starting to return to him. I knew that it was risky to remove the branch because it was pretty deep and he could possibly die from the blood loss. However, since he was still a vampire his body would try to heal itself. The question was, would it heal itself fast enough? I felt like I was holding my brother's life in the palm of my hands. Which I guess in a way... I kinda was. I made the decision to remove the branch and hope for the best. I could see James' eyes start to close and I knew I had to act fast. I put my hands around the branch before giving James one last look. "I'm sorry if this doesn't work James." I apologized before quickly removing the branch from his chest, resulting in a pained cry from James. I watched as he gave me one last broken look before collapsing. "James?" I asked starting to get nervous. I put my head to his chest to see if I could find a heartbeat but was devastated to find that there wasn't one.

I started to shake James, foolishly hoping that this was just some sick joke but after several tries and yells I realized that this wasn't a joke. James was really gone. I broke down crying at the thought. I couldn't believe that this is how it all ends. I looked over to see Derek's dead body. I almost wished I could bring him back to life just to make him suffer for James' death. But as I thought about it, I realized what a stupid idea that probably was. I was brought out of my thoughts by the sound of groaning. I turned around to see Kendall and Carlos starting to wake up. I went over to them to make sure they were alright. "H-hey, how are you guys feeling?" I asked trying to control my emotions but failing to do so. "I have a killer headache but I'll survive." Kendall said to which Carlos nodded in agreement. "Have you been crying?" Carlos asked. I decided that there was no use in hiding it since they would find out sooner or later. "Um y-yeah, James…" At this both of them looked up seeming to forget all about they're headaches. I turned and pointed towards Derek and James' lifeless bodies deciding on showing them since I didn't have the heart to tell them that our brother was dead. I looked back to see tears in their eyes. "H-how?" Kendall managed to say/ask. I knew what he was really asking and decided to tell him the truth. "U-um, he was s-starting to choke me but I got through to him. He h-had helped me stake Derek but I d-didn't know t-that Derek w-would still be able to c-control him. He made J-James stake himself." I told them still trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. We all walked over to James body trying to take in what happened. That's when I noticed something…

We all watched as James' wound started to heal itself. I felt a surge of hope surge through me. I looked at Kendall and Carlos and saw that they both had the same expressions on their face. After a couple of minutes James' wound was fully healed and his skin went back to its regular tan color. I bent down next to change and checked for a heartbeat again but I felt my heart drop when there still wasn't a heartbeat. I got up deciding to try and accept the fact that James was gone. "Do either of you have a lighter?" I asked wanting to just go home at this point. Carlos pulled out a lighter from his pocket and handed it to me. "Why am I not surprised?" I chuckled in spite of everything that's happened. I went over to Derek while starting the lighter. This is for James as well as my parents. I thought before proceeding to light his body on fire, ensuring he wouldn't be back to bother anyone. "L-Logan…" I turned around at the sound of Kendall's voice to see him and Carlos staring at James' body with wide eyes. "What?" I asked as I walked over. "I think I just saw him move." Kendall said with slight hope in his voice. "You're just seeing things Kendall." I told him as I looked over to James. I then noticed his eyes start to flutter. "J-James?" At the sound of my voice James' eyes started to flutter open. "G-guys?" That was all he managed to say before we all embraced him in a tearful four-way hug.

"We thought we lost you dude!" I heard Kendall exclaim. When we let go I could see the guilt in James' eyes. "I'm sorry about what I did to you guys." He muttered in a small voice. "It's okay James. It wasn't you." He looked at us with wide eyes. "It's not okay! I promised that I wouldn't hurt you guys! I almost killed you Logan! How could you say everything's okay?!" James exclaimed starting to go into panic mode. "I say everything's okay because it wasn't you. You were being controlled and even though you almost killed me you didn't! You fought it! Besides it's all over now. Derek's dead!" He looked at us with a shocked expression on his face. "You mean…I'm human again? It's really over?" He asked. "Only one way to find out." Kendall said before picking up a rock. "Kendall don't do it." James pleaded but it was too late. As blood dripped from the small cut on Kendall's arm we watched and waited for James' reaction. After a few seconds I noticed a small smile start to form on James' face. "It's over… it's really over." At this we embraced him in yet another four-way hug.

Maybe things will get back to normal now. I thought to myself.

Chapter done! I couldn't bring myself to kill James after everything they've been through! There will be one more chapter (which will be a short epilogue) and then I will start working on my next story. Since The Cure and The Problem With Power seem to be my most requested stories I might end up working on both of them at the same time or choose to work on one and then do the other one later. I'm not quite sure yet. The next chapter will more than likely be up tomorrow so keep an eye out for it! Until next time!
