A/N: So I managed to write two chapters in one day, thank you 8 hour drive. So here's another chapter...
Chapter Twenty-five: More Truths…
Christine woke up the next morning to feel Erik still laying next to her. A smile came to her face as she looked upon his face. His mask wasn't on so she could see his full face. His deformity didn't bother her and she kissed his cheek. He stirred slightly, but didn't wake. Deciding to get up, she quietly started to clean up a bit, putting the food back along with the movies. Coming back from the kitchen, she saw Erik awake and sitting up.
"Did I wake you?"
"I have my senses heighten so I can hear a lot more than a normal human like the sound of a heartbeat…" He explained quickly. "I would have helped you clean up." He got up.
"No it's fine, I didn't mind at all." She walked over to him, wrapping an arm around his waist." Meg will be back soon." He nodded.
"That's my cue to get back to my castle, hopefully it's still up." He joked a bit. "I will see you later?" He asked her before grabbing his other change of clothes.
"Meg and I will probably stop by later today." She answered.
"I'll see you later then." He kissed her cheek and left the house. She watched as he walked away from the house and sighed. Sitting down on one of the couches, she grabbed a book and started to read it. Two hours later, Meg came home with a big smile on her face. Christine then sat there listening to Meg tell her about the date, noticing how happy Meg was and couldn't help but smile.
Erik arrived back at his castle and noticed everything was cleaned. He smirked, glad Nadir cleaned up; though his smile fade when he saw the pack of wolves sitting in the kitchen. Sighing, he shook his head and walked over to pour himself a glass of blood. Nadir came down into the kitchen with a big smile on his face.
"Someone had a good night." Erik said as he sipped some of the blood in the glass.
"Yes I did…did you?" Nadir asked, sitting on the bar stool at the counter. Erik didn't answer and sighed. "Oh…what happened?"
"Christine told me she wants to become a vampire…" Nadir's eyes widen.
"She what?"
"She wants to be a vampire so we can be together."
"You didn't agree, did you?"
"I'm thinking about it."
"Are you crazy?" Now Nadir was furious with Erik just like Erik was with Christine last night. "You seriously want her to be like you? I thought you said you weren't going to do that to Christine."
"That's because I didn't expect everything to happen. I didn't know I was going to fall in love with her."
"And what happens when you grow tired of her like you did with Leila?" Erik slammed the glass on the counter, breaking it and the blood spilled over his hand and the counter.
"How dare you say that?" Now Erik was furious with Nadir. "And why are you mad at me? You haven't told Meg your secret while Christine already knows mine. When are you going to tell her?"
"Stay out of my business!" Nadir growled at him.
"You didn't stay out of mine; you kept bugging me to tell Christine. Now when I try and help, you just tell me to stay out."
"You want to turn Christine into a vampire!"
"It's her choice, I didn't agree to it!" Erik yelled at him. "I don't want to do it, but a part of me wants to! I thought I wanted a life with Leila, but I don't want Leila. I want Christine and if that means making a vampire like me, then so be it. But then she and I can be together." He told Nadir.
"So you want to make her a monster like you? And what about Leila now? What are you going to do about her?" He asked Erik.
"Why does Leila have to be a part of this?" Erik asked. "I'm no longer with her."
"But you changed her into a vampire and now you are letting her out on her own. She isn't fully ready to be on her own and you know that."
"Enough!" Erik stormed out of the kitchen. He was furious with Nadir and didn't want to talk to him until he calmed down. Meanwhile, Nadir was furious with Erik that he was even considering making Christine into a vampire. Both of them separated, not wanting to see each other.
Later that day, Christine and Meg headed over to the castle to see both of their boyfriends. Approaching the castle, Christine noticed a few wolves running through the wolves, towards the backyard. She knew something was up and decided to walk around the castle. Meg followed Christine, unsure what's going on. The two continued to walk around until reaching the backyard where Nadir was.
"Hey…" Meg ran over to Nadir, hugging him. "…is everything alright?" She asked him. Christine noticed he was mad at something or someone.
"Um where's Erik?" She asked, suddenly regretting it. She notice the anger in Nadir's eyes, like he was about to turn into a wolf soon. He started breathing heavy.
"Nadir, what's wrong?" Meg asked him again, worried about what's going on with him. He suddenly pushed Meg away, making her trip over and fall to the ground. Christine rushed over and knelt down next to her friend. The two watched as Nadir suddenly transformed into a large wolf. Meg's eyes widen in fear as her mouth dropped. "Oh my god…" Christine knew how Meg felt and tried to make her calm. "H-He's a w-w-w-w…" Meg couldn't say it, too shocked and terrified as the large wolf started approaching the two girls like they were his prey.
"Erik!" Christine yelled for him, hoping he'd hear. Just as the wolf stood in front of them, Erik ran up and tacked the large wolf. "Oh thank god." She sighed in relief.
"What's going on?" Meg asked as Erik quickly stood up in front of them, shielding the girls. "How is Erik going to fight against…?" She still couldn't say it.
"Well…" Christine didn't know how to tell Meg that her boyfriend was a vampire. The large wolf now focused his anger out on Erik and attacked. Christine gasped as she watched both of them fight. Christine needed to get Meg away from the fight to ensure both of their safety. "Meg we need to get out of here."
"What about them?" Meg asked her, pointed to the wolf and vampire. "How is Erik not dead?" Just as she finished her question, Erik fell to the ground in front of them. Looking up, he looked straight at Meg with his red eyes and fangs. "Oh my god!" Now Meg screamed, distracting Erik. The wolf grabbed Erik's leg and dragged him away.
"No!" Fear filled Christine, knowing the wolf could kill her boyfriend. Erik managed to kick the wolf, freeing his leg. He quickly stood up and tackled the wolf to the ground, pinning him and using his strength to keep the wolf down. Taking the opportunity, Christine helped Meg up and quickly led her back to the safety of the castle. Sending a quick prayer to Heaven for Erik, Christine rushed into the castle with Meg.
The two sat in the living room for several hours, waiting. Christine grabbed some water for Meg and waited for her to try and calm down. She would be patient since Meg was now in the same position Christine was when she found out about Erik's secret. However, Meg found out both of their secrets at once. She noticed a wolf come into the room and lay right next to Christine's foot, making Meg shake in fear again.
"Don't worry, he won't hurt you. He's like a puppy." Christine reached down stroke the wolf's back.
"Please explain this to me…" Meg asked, pleading with Christine to help her understand everything that happened. Just as Christine was about to explain, Erik and Nadir walked into the room. Meg looked at Nadir, moving closer to Christine.
"Can I explain everything?" Nadir asked, knowing he should listen to Erik. Meg nodded, allowing him to talk. "I'm a werewolf. I've been a werewolf for several hundreds of years and currently am alpha of a pack."
"A werewolf? So you are both a human and wolf?' Meg asked, making him nod. "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I didn't know how to tell you without you freaking out." He answered.
"So turning into a werewolf was the easy way?" She asked again.
"If it helps, Erik didn't tell me until we were in London." Christine said to Meg.
"So that's why you came back…" Now Meg finally understood. "Okay so Erik is a vampire while Nadir is a werewolf…" All three of them nodded. "And Christine is dating a vampire while I'm dating a werewolf?" They nodded again. "Why couldn't we date normal guys?" She asked Christine.
"We're not normal." Christine answered, making Meg giggle a bit. "Also they love us so much and will protect us."
"True…" Meg looked at Nadir. "Are there any more secret that we should know about you guys?" She asked the men.
"Just beware during the full moon and careful at night." Nadir told Meg.
"You know it's going to take me awhile to get used to this." Meg said to him.
"I'm still getting used to Erik being a vampire, but it's getting better." Christine said. "But why were you guys mad at each other?" Christine asked them, wanting to know.
"Well…Erik told me that you asked him to change you into a vampire." Nadir asked. Meg looked at Christine with shocked eyes.
"You what?" Meg asked Christine.
"Yes I asked him and I meant it. He's going to live forever and I don't want to live without him." Christine answered. "It's my choice and…it's also Erik's choice whether to do it." All three looked at Erik.
"I am thinking about it but I have not made up my mind. It's a lot to think about." Erik explained. Nodding, Christine took his hand, lacing her fingers through it.
"Well if both of you want it, then I'll support you guys…just no coming after me in the middle of the night." Meg told them. "Yes it will take lots of time for me to get used to it, but…" She looked at Christine. "…you're my sister and I want you to be happy. If this is the way to make you happy, then I'm for it." Christine smiled and hugged her friend. "And Erik, you better not leave Christine if you do change her into a vampire." Meg threatened.
"I don't plan on leaving Christine." He told Meg.
"I guess if Meg is okay with it, then I'm okay with it." Nadir said to Erik. "And I'm sorry for biting your leg."
"I guess I deserved it." Christine smiled as the two friends made up. Meg moved closer to Nadir, resting her head on his shoulder. Christine smiled as she leaned against Erik. The two couples didn't realize that they were being watched by two red jealous eyes…
So now Meg knows both Erik and Nadir's secrets...
