Hello there! Hehe I'm excited for this chapter! :D hehe hope you all like it! Thank you to channylover26 and kendallxoxo for reviewing! You guys are so sweet! Glad that you liked it!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything... ):
Kendall's' POV
"Kendall! I'm open!" James shouted from across the ice. I hit the puck and it smoothly slid towards him as another player from our opposing team crashed into me. We were winning by 7-5 and it was a very close game. If we can keep this up for another two minutes and get a few more goals then we will win the championship. I pushed the opposing player off of me and skated onwards. James had passed to Logan, who was one of the fastest and most agile on the team, he skated around the players who wanted to attack and swiftly passed to Carlos who charged towards the goal.
"Carlos!" I shouted signalling for him to pass to me.
I caught the puck with my stick and flung it to James who was closer to the goal than I was. He shot it into the goal and the final buzzer went off. The whole team cheered, we had won the championships! We done a victory skate around the rink cheering and holding up our hockey sticks, our coach was congratulating all the players on the bench who eventually joined the ice with us.
James, Carlos, Logan and I went back to my house after the game. We were going to have an 'awesome sleepover' as we called it. We didn't get to sleep until after midnight.
"KENDALL!" "KENDALL!" "KENDALL!" I heard voices yelling at me but I couldn't decide whether they were from my dream or from real life. I lifted my eye lids and prayed that they were from my dreams but as I looked up I saw Carlos and Logan hovering over me.
"Thank God Kendall, I thought you weren't going to wake up, you really scared me bro" Logan told me while letting out a sigh of relief.
"Where are we?" I asked looking around the dirty, dark room.
"You don't remember?" Carlos asked worriedly.
"Not exactly" I frowned.
"Kendall you're Dad...or Kevin...escaped from jail" Logan informed me.
"Yes I'm back" he smiled from the doorway.
James' POV
"What are you doing here?" I snarled.
"James, we really need to talk" she told me.
"No. The last time you said that you brought sadness and disappointment" I shook my head not wanting to think about it.
"You and I both know that I done that for you. If I didn't you would have wanted to stay being a vampire and I can't let you choose that lifestyle" she explained.
"What?" I asked.
"You have the chance to live your life, the one you were meant to live, you know you grow old with your best friends, becoming famous, getting married, having children and then dying...just like everybody else" she explained.
Griffin started to walk back out and I let him, he doesn't need to hear this.
"What you mean the lifestyle you lead ever so well" I smiled sarcastically.
"Wow you've actually done it" she commented.
"What?" I spat
"You've actually turned off your emotions" she walked up to me and I could feel her bright blue eyes staring deeply into mine "So you're just going to decide that you don't care anymore, because that isn't you James"
"Why do you think that you know so much about me?" I shouted.
"Maybe that is because I do!" she shouted back.
"Alright then I'll play along what am I like, Sophie? What do I like to do? What are my day to day hobbies? How about my family?" I yelled determined to be the loudest here.
"Well, James, you are cocky just like your ancestors, but you can be selfless when you want to be, you like to spend time with your three best friends Kendall, Carlos and Logan. Remember them? The ones you need your help at the moment! They are your day to day hobbies. You guys aren't right without each other; you need each other no matter how many times you try to deny it"
Her words had shocked me, it's not like I actually wanted her to answer all those questions but because she did I am speechless.
"Yeah, how well do I know you? Pretty darn well I'd say. Look James, I haven't come back here to annoy you, you need me" she sighed towards the end of the sentence.
"Need you?" I scoffed "I'm perfectly fine"
"Really? Because you don't seem like you're fine, you seem lost and confused" she objected.
"Look, I don't need you to state random emotions to me when I am okay, got that?" I hissed and walked past her and back downstairs.
She started to follow me without a word and when she wasn't expecting it I spun round and pinned her to the wall.
"Why are you following me?" I growled.
"Because I need to make sure that you are safe...besides LA is full of vampire slayers that you'll...attract...and Kevin Knight is still out there. Wants you dead or alive...preferably dead though" she explained.
"I don't need protection and I'm not asking you to follow me" I told her and started to walk again only for her to follow me, again.
"Too bad, you're being followed" she laughed.
"Go away!" I shouted.
"No." She replied.
"Sophie" I warned.
"James" she mocked.
I stopped and stared at her. Why was she doing this? Last time I checked she was worried that her sister was going to kill me and now she is here and alone bothering me.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked out loud.
"Because I want to" she sang.
"Whatever" I sighed and ran. Of course I forgot that she was also a vampire and stopped me.
"Tell me, what are your intentions" she said
"What?" I asked.
"Where are you hurrying to?" she asked. She had a glint in her eye and I knew she was planning something.
"Whatever you are planning, forget it because you cannot get in my way" I told her.
"You seem to forget that I am older than you James" she chuckled.
"What does that have to do with anything?" I asked.
"You'll see"
I shook my head and pushed her out of the way, only for her to push me back with more force.
"I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you can survive as a vampire but you need to be taught how to. Lesson number one. Don't you ever do that to me again or I won't hesitate to snap your neck" she smirked and helped me up.
"Lesson number two, never threaten a vampire who is older than you" she carried on.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because older vampires are stronger. You are still quite young and weaker because you have been shifting between human and vampire, so don't get into any fights because I probably won't be there to save your butt" she laughed.
"Why are you doing this?" I whined.
"To see if you can actually be a vampire who doesn't care, if you can actually survive...and not feel guilty" she answered and started to walk.
"Guilty about what?"
"Leaving your friends behind" she replied.
"They're better off without me"
"Do I hear emotions?" she asked.
"What?"
"Emotions. You know those things that you are feeling right now! You are feeling sorry for yourself. And the best part is you are one of those vampires that feels bad after they've done the crime...interesting" she examined "And anyway you do know that you're friends are in a life or death situation right now and it's looking more like death"
"W-what, w-why?"
"Stuttering!" she shouted and turned to face me "You are nervous for them, emotions James...all of these are emotions"
"So what? You're an expert on human emotion now?" I smirked.
"Yep and behaviour...basically the whole cycology thing. It also works for vampires you know...that is how I am analysing your every move" she shrugged "Lets' keep moving"
"What lesson is next?" I groaned.
"How you feed" she smiled.
"Feed?" I squeaked.
"Oh yes, the part you have always had trouble with, well when you were part human anyway...you've never experienced the fresh blood straight from the neck, human or animal I'll let you choose" she replied.
"And what about you?" I asked uncertainly.
"Oh I've already ate, vegetarian you see" she smiled.
"I don't understand" I told her.
"There are two major vampire groups...it doesn't matter what type of vampire you are. You are either an animal rights activist or a human rights activist...some people just don't care and drink whatever is available" she explained "I am a human rights activist"
"I'm still confused"
"Good thing I'm here then, you need to be careful and learn Vampology" she told me
"Vampology?" I laughed "Okay that has to be made up!"
"Nope that is the thing that will keep you alive in this world James" she told me seriously.
I nodded kind of scared of what I was getting myself into.
"So...Activists?" I asked.
"Looks like I'll have to explain things in a lot more detail" she muttered "Okay, human rights activist, you don't eat humans...simple. Therefore you are 'vegetarian' and stupid according to other vampires" she glared "And then you have the animal rights activists, who don't eat animals...claim that they are saving the animals because they are going extinct but it's only because human blood is better and tastier."
"And this matters because..."
"Whatever you choose will either decrease your strength or increase it. Eating animals means that you don't get the full strength that you might need and eating humans will make you more powerful. This matters because it is now part of your lifestyle. Sure you can still eat human food but that is as long as you have enough blood in your system. If you do then your body functions quite normally"
I nodded not wanting to do this but I have to, so I can prove that I am a vampire...unless I can weasel my way out of it.
"So take your pick" she told me.
"No thanks, I'm good I already ate" I told her.
"So you're not hungry?" she asked.
I shook my head and she laughed "Wow, James as a vampire you will always be hungry, the temptation of blood is hard to resist and it takes time to be able to master it and keep it under control. I doubt you could have done it in twenty seconds"
"Sophie, just because I have turned off my emotions doesn't mean that I am a full vampire now, unfortunately I'm still part human and I need to find a vampire who is willing to change me" I explained to her.
"Well you're looking at one" she replied.
"What?"
"I'm willing to change you, if you're willing to learn...but if I change you, you won't sparkle...you'll turn into my kind of vampire who burns in the sunlight" she smirked
"The how do you walk in it?" I asked her.
"Have you forgotten already James?" she sighed and held up her hand which had her ring on it.
"Oh yeah the magical ring" I teased.
"Yes and if you want to be a full vampire, then I promise you this James Diamond. If you really want his andI mean really want this then I will be the one to change you and I will get a witch friend of mine to get you one of these rings" she promised me.
"Really?" I asked and she nodded
"But you have to prove that you really want this, which means doing everything I say and listening to everything I say, got that?"
I nodded, happy that I will finally be able to get what I want...as long as I pass this. We were in the lobby now so we have to be careful that nobody can hear what we are saying.
"Right so as a vampire, love won't mean a single thing to you. Unless a really special person can bring it back to you, other than that you will follow the vampire code of use and abuse" she said,
"Excuse me? What did you just say?" I asked.
"Basically, in your case, you meet a girl, who charm the girl and then you get her to fall for you. Then you bite the girl, drain her of her blood and she dies...or in some cases you drain most of it and then compel her to forget all about you" Sophie shrugged.
"And you do that with guys?" I asked.
"Used too, now I'm a caring vampire" she smiled.
"Ok, I'm going to add one more condition to our deal" I smirked.
"And what is that?" she sighed.
"If I pass this test then you have to switch back to human blood" I told her.
"Hell no" she replied and sat down.
I sat next to her and asked "Why not?"
"Because I haven't had it in a long time and it's not the best thing to dive back in straight away, if I'm going back to human blood I'll have to do it in stages...drink a little bit more everyday" she explained.
"And why would you want to do that?" I asked,
"I can't just dive into the deep end of the pool of blood" she laughed "That would be highly dangerous for every human around"
"So do you have to turn off your emotions to drink human blood?" I asked
"No!" she replied "It's just that if you kill the person you're drinking from then you feel remorse and most vampires don't want to feel that, since our emotions are heightened" she told me.
"Right, so what is next?"
"Next is again the drinking of the blood, human or animal?" she asked.
"I seriously have to pick?"
"Yes and if you pick human you have to pick who, if you pick animal you have to pick what type" she whispered "And if you want to pass this test I suggest you go for human but remember you can't use the use and abuse method yet"
"But can't you compel them for me for now?" I whined.
"Fine, I'll let you off for now, but we are redoing this if you pass" she warned "And I am not watching! Just call me when you're finished"
I nodded and looked at Camille who was walking over.
"SOPHIE!" she shouted and hugged her "You're back!"
"Yeah" Sophie laughed
"Cool, hey James can you help me rehearse lines from my script? Logan said that he would but I have no clue where he is" Camille sighed.
I nodded and looked at Sophie, telling her that I choose Camille.
"Wait, wait before you do that I just need to speak to James for one second" Sophie told Camille and dragged me away.
"Camille? Are you crazy James?" I asked him.
"What? She won't mind, plus according to our deal you're going to compel her afterwards!" James replied.
"But this is so wrong! What are you going to ask her before you bite her?" she asked me.
"Well yes!"
"Charming James, just charming, Hey Camille is it alright if I bite you and nearly drain all of your blood, but don't worry it's cool because Sophie is going to make you forget afterwards" she impersonated me.
"I'm not going to ask her like that ok! Just be ready when I need you to be there! Her apartment is 4J" I told her and walked back over to Camille.
I'll just text Sophie later and if this doesn't get me to pass the test I don't know what will.
