Chapter 25 part 2. Can Wishes Come True?
"…..n….. an… Ivan….. Ivan….. ake up….. dude wake up."
Ivan groaned loudly and buried his face deeper into his pillow. He was shaking as he clenched his eye closed afraid that if he opened them he would be engulfed in the darkness again.
"For god's sake, dude wake up."
The bed and mattress cracked and dipped in the middle as it broke and before Ivan new what happened, he was falling. He hit the floor with a bone cracking thud. He opened his eyes and stared up at the railing of his bedroom. He smiled when he saw the mop of blonde hair and blue eyes staring down at him worriedly from over the railing. "я тебя люблю" he breathed.
Alfred ran down the stairs and dropped by his side "I am so so sorry I it I I-"he was cut off when Ivan grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him down on top of him. His hand tangled in wheat blonde hair and he crashed their lips together. The kiss was hungry and deep. As Alfred pulled away for air Ivan kept his hand tangled in his hair and pulled him back down so their foreheads were pressed together. "Are you ok?" he asked.
"Me? dude are you?"
"I was so worried. You left and everything went dark again."
"Ivan... you might want to get up and take a look at yourself. Wait can you get up? Oh shit did you break anything? Did I break you?"
Ivan looked up at him puzzled. He looked Alfred over from head to toe and then he noticed it. Even though he was on top of him Alfred was leaning on his knees and hands as if didn't want to touch him. He let his hand fall from Alfred's hair "what's wrong?"
Alfred shuffled back off him and sat at his side slowly, very slowly as if he'd break something. Ivan pushed himself up and looked down at himself and where he had fallen. The floor was destroyed. There was an outline of Ivan's body in the cracked wood where it had sunk and split. "What?"
"I didn't mean to do it. I was just trying to push you off the bed to wake you up coz you wouldn't and then… it…. I'm sorry."
"Alfred, calm down what happened?"
Alfred pouted and with his shoulders dropped and looked up at Ivan with puppy dog eyes "I….. sort of…. Threw you over the railing."
"….. What?"
"I don't know how it happened but I did and I'm sorry."
Ivan chuckled causing Alfred to look at him like he'd lost his mind. Ivan got to his feet and held out a hand to help Alfred up which he declined. "You threw me over the railing?"
"Yeah and sorry about the floor and the railing" Alfred mumbled getting up himself. Ivan looked up and saw that the railing hand dents in it were Alfred had been leaning on it and from where his own body must have hit it. He looked over to the covered up window and back to the floor. "I think I'm going to move." He walked Alfred over to the red sofa and sat down with him. "What happened to you in the dream?"
Alfred was quiet for a while. "Everything was white. I don't even think there was anything in there with me just the white glow and then I tried looking back for you at the doors but they were gone and you were gone but it was like that was ok coz I had the glow and then it wasn't just all around me it was in me. It was like there wasn't even a me anymore, just the glow and then I woke up and you weren't so I tried waking you and then-"
"I know, you tried pushing me off the bed and pushed me over the railing."
"Yeah."
"Do you… feel any different? More… fairyish?"
"Did you really just ask if I'm more fairyish?" Alfred laughed. After he calmed down and got air back in his lungs he shrugged "I don't know. I don't feel any different but I think the super strength maybe kickin in some."
Ivan looked over his shoulder at the crushed in floor "I can see that."
The door to the apartment burst open and Mathew ran in with Gilbert close behind. "What happened we heard banging?" Mathew asked worriedly.
"More like we heard crashing," Gilbert pointed to the floor.
Mathew looked from the floor to his brother "Are you ok?"
"I'm ok Mattie its Ivan who did the crashing."
"How?" asked Gilbert with peeked interest.
"I accidently throw him over the railing. I guess that Super strength is finally starting to kick in some ya know?" he tried to hold in the smirk that came with the thought that super strength was totally bad ass. "Can we try again now?" he asked smiling at Ivan "I might be as you say more 'fairyish' now."
"You just woke up. You should eat and rest some more before we try again."
Alfred was about to protest but his stomach growls that moment to speak for him. "Ok, food then we try. What time is it?"
"1.30" said Mathew.
"Do ya think we could get Chinese?"
"I think so."
"I'll go with ya" Gilbert grinned throwing his arm around Mathew.
"Anything special you want?"
"Nah, anything's good thanks. Where are dad and Mathis and Lukas?"
"Dads down stairs and we haven't seen Mathis or Lukas."
"Ok so, food then we try the spell again and then I think we should find them coz no one's seen them since they went to the lake. That sound ok?"
"I think so" Ivan agreed.
Mathew nodded and Gilbert went along with him. The two of them left shortly after in search of Chinese food leaving Alfred and Ivan alone. "So what should we do now until they get back?" Ivan asked wrapping his arm around Alfred's waist and pulling him onto his lap.
"I don't know." Alfred mumbled as he tried to wiggle his way back to his seat.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Then why don't you want me touching you?"
"I do want you to"
Ivan crossed his arms over his chest "then "what's going on?"
"I just don't want to hurt you."
"Why would you?"
"Dude I tried pushing you of the bed and ended up shoving you over the railing. If I did that and you were human-"
"But I'm not and you shouldn't worry."
"But super strength."
"I will help you control it."
Smiling Alfred and crawled back into Ivan's lap wrapping his arms around his neck "so you were saying something about the others being gone and us doing something?"
The two of them kissed as Ivan cupped the blonde's ass "I have a couple of ideas. How about you?"
"I have one" Alfred breathed against his lips.
"What?"
"You, me"
"Yes?"
"Xbox."
Ivan laughed and pushed him down onto the sofa and leaned over him "cheeky" they both lost themselves in a deep passionate kiss. Ivan made a mental note; he would need to add the sofa the list of things to replace after they were done with it.

It was another hour and a half before Gilbert and Mathew came back with the food. It didn't need to take so long but Gilbert decided they needed to take a detour through the park so they could have some alone time together.
After rousing Francis who had fallen asleep at the Kitchen table they made their way to Ivan's apartment.
"What going on in there?" asked Mathew as they climbed the stairs to the front door.
"I don't hear anything" shrugged Francis.
Gilbert put done his bag of food and cracked the door open to peek inside. With wide eyes and bright red cheeks he quickly shut the door and spun around to face Mathew and Francis.
"What?" asked Mathew.
"I think we should take the food back down to the kitchen."
"Why?"
Before Gilbert could answer a loud moan echoed from the other side of the door.
"Your right maybe we should go" said Francis as he ushered Mathew back down the stairs.
It was another twenty minutes before Alfred and Ivan came down to the kitchen and joined them.

"So should we try again?" Alfred had been persistent about trying the spell again throughout the meal. By the time everyone was done eating Ivan had given in. "Ok ok ok we will try again. I've told you there's no need to rush."
"I know but like you said I'm more fairyish now" Alfred grinned as he rested his head in his crossed arms on the table top.
"You're not going to let me live saying that down are you?"
"Nope" Alfred laughed.
"Are the rest of you willing to try again?" Ivan asked the rest of the group.
"What about Lukas? Maybe we should have him help" chirped Mathew.
"If it doesn't work this time we'll do that" Alfred replied.
"Where is Lukas and Mathis anyway?" Francis asked.
"Don't know. Maybe they went back to the motel anyway let's just do this first ok."
Finally to Alfred's delight the group made their way to Ivan's apartment. Mathew redrew the pentagram and when everything was ready Mathew left with Gilbert who was cross about the whole thing. After the needed blood was let in the pentagram, Alfred and Ivan stood in the circle ready.
"So what's the first thing your gunna do as a human?" Alfred whispered as he wrapped his arms around Ivan's neck.
"The same thing that I did as a vampire."
"Watch me eat Chinese food!"
"The second to last thing I did as a vampire then."
"I like the sound of that more" Alfred grinned.
As Francis neared the end of the chant Ivan's eyes widened "Your glowing" he pointed out the Alfred.
Letting his hands drop from around Ivan Alfred looked down at himself amazed "holy shit I am."
"Alfred language" Francis called.
The glow grew and grew until it consumed both Alfred and Ivan. The light became blinding and Francis had to turn away.
A force like a small explosion erupted in the light shattering it and sent the two inside flying in opposite directions. Alfred toppled over one of the sofas and Ivan crashed to the kitchen floor. Francis was also knocked to the floor by the blast. Glass broke books and other things flew from shelves and by the time the light disappeared the apartment was a wreck. Pushing himself up onto his knees Alfred fort against the haze swirling around his head and stumbled over to Ivan's side. "You ok?"
Ivan groaned as pain shot through his back and head. He ran his hands through his hear and griped the back of his head. "Yeah, ah that hurt… what the-"Ivan sat up with a pained grunt and let one of his hands fall from his head and stared wide eyed at the blood running done his fingers. "I can't smell it." He felt the wound with his other hand and his eyes locked on Alfred hovering over him. "It's not healing." He ran his fingertips along his teeth "…No fangs…"
The two sat in silence staring at each other for a while until Ivan through his arms in the air despite the pain with a loud laugh that made Alfred jump. Getting to his feet as quickly as he could without falling back over Ivan grabbed Alfred by his forearms and pulled him up off the ground into a bone crushing bear hug. Alfred's head was a hazy mess with the motion. It didn't help when Ivan began to spin around still laughing.
Francis pushed himself up on his elbows and turned over so he wasn't lying on his stomach. He looked on puzzled at Ivan and Alfred.
Alfred wiggled his arms out of Ivan's embrace and ran his hands along his face before cupping his cheeks. "Did it work?"
"I think so" laughed.
Alfred pressed his forehead against his and the two smiled at each other before pressing the lips together in what they would later refer to as their new first kiss.
"Are you guys alright?" Mathew cried as he burst into the apartment. The three in the apartment turned to look at him and Alfred pushed him out of Ivan's grasp before running over to hug him. "It worked Mattie" Alfred smiled.
Gilbert came in shortly after "err I don't mean to interrupt everybody but Ivan you might want to go down there and prove you're not dead" he said pointing to the doorway.
"What-oh yes I should"
"What up?" asked Alfred.
"We can't feel him" said Mathew.
"Oh right the whole head vampire maker- whatever thing. Well lets go down and-"
"You can't go anywhere подсолнечник." Ivan turned his attention back to Gilbert "how many are down there?"
"Everyone."
"Alright, stay here until I come back."
"Wait wait what if they attack you?" asked Alfred worriedly.
"I'm not a vampire but I'm still me. If the others Know I'm alive they will… hopefully be satisfied."
"I'm going with you."
"No you're not любить. They are waiting down there for the one who killed their leader to show themselves so, then they will kill them."
"I still don't want you going down there alone."
Ivan frowned "Fine, Gilbert you're coming with me."
Gilbert shrugged and said nothing but went along with him as he left the apartment.
At the bottom of the stairs was every vampire that resided in the warehouse silently waiting. Ivan stayed at the top of the stairs as far away from the mob as possible. He sent Gilbert down to the mob to fetch Eduard Toris and Raivis. When he returned with the three Ivan told him to get rid of the mob. Now they had seen he was not dead Ivan didn't care how Gilbert got rid of them as long as none of them started asking questions.
Once Gilbert and the other three vampires were in the apartment they joined the rest of the group on the sofas. Ivan and Alfred sat on one alongside Mathew who was joined by Gilbert while Francis leaned against the back. The other three huddled on the red love seat.
"What's going on?" Raivis nervously asked.
"Um Sir Ivan… what happened to you? "questioned Toris.
"You will not tell any of the others what I'm about to tell you understand!"
"Yes sir" all three vampires nodded.
"… I've…. Changed and I'm leaving the clan. I will leave tonight and you three along with Gilbert and Mathew will take over leading the others until you decide on a new leader. You will ask no questions about what has happened to me and if any of the others ask you will simply tell them I have abandoned my role as head of the clan."
They all nodded. It was oversee on their faces that they had questions but none of them breathed a word.
"Are you shore you want to stay like this Mattie? You could still change" Alfred asked his brother as Ivan and the others talked.
Mathew nodded "I want to."
The two hugged and went back to listening to the others.
By the end of the talk Eduard Toris and Raivis left to manage the rest of the clan. And Alfred Mathew and the others began swiftly getting ready to leave.
"So how's it feel being human for the first time in two hundred years?" Alfred asked wrapping his arms around Ivan's waist from behind.
"A little strange. Sort of like I've been in the dark for years and now I'm seeing the sun for the first time." Ivan turned around and ran his hands along Alfred's sides.
"That's a weird metaphor."
"It's the best I've got" Ivan smiled.
Alfred looked from his boyfriend to the stairs that led to the bedroom "you still want the second to last thing you did as a vampire to be the first thing you do as a human?"
"No"
Alfred's brows rose "No?"
Ivan leaned backed him up against one of the large windows and kissed him quickly and softly on his lips before training his kisses down his neck. "i think I want to do something I've never done before, something you and I will both enjoy."
"What?" Alfred moaned.
Ivan trailed back to his lips and whispered wantonly against Alfred's soft pink buds.
"Try a burger."
