Another Species

by Florence23

Dan and Phil were two ordinary Youtubers, albeit a little antisocial, preferring to only talk with each other. But one day their quiet life is disrupted by the arrival of Bailey Star. Who is she? And why does she know so much about vampires? Everyone has secrets, but Baileys aren't the fun kind, they're the illegal kind. Rated T for swearing and suggestive language.

37. Wiggles the Clown

PJ's smile faltered. "Okay, maybe I am lying, but I have a reason for it, you know."

Dan motioned for them to sit down. PJ sat on one of the chairs, while Dan and Phil sat together on the couch. They looked at him expectantly.

"Did you notice how Louise didn't ask you who bit you, Phil?" He began.

Phil nodded, uneasily.

"Well, it's because she knows who bit you."

"Tell us then." Dan said, unable to wait.

PJ sighed. "Well, I guess if you two are ok, maybe I'll be as well."

"Well?" Phil said, impatient.

PJ fiddled with the hem of his shirt.

"PJ" Dan said.

PJ looked up at them.

"I bit you Phil."

Silence.

"You bit me? That can't be right!" Phil suddenly exclaimed.

"Why not?" Dan asked.

"Well, a clown bit me, not PJ!" Phil protested.

"Ahh, yes, I guess I forgot to mention that I might or might not have been filming a video at the time. Wiggles the Clown, he gets lonely if I don't let him vlog a little." PJ explained.

Dan started to laugh. "I guess he got so lonely he decided to bite Phil! Oh god, and now Phil will forever have nightmares of Wiggled the Clown biting him."

"This is just a riot for you, isn't it?" Phil deadpanned.

Dan nodded, smiling.

"So you're not mad?" PJ asked.

"No, I mean, I'm not really happy that it was Wiggles and not you. Ok wow, that sounded weird. I'm not mad PJ, it wasn't your fault anyways." Phil replied.

Dan was blown away by how similar Phil was sounding to when Dan told Phil he wasn't mad. PJ gave a small smile.

"That's why I was here, to check in with Louise. I'd checked in earlier this month, but I wanted to stop by once more. Who's talking with her now?" PJ questioned, slowly changing the subject.

"Oh, Bailey is." Phil answered. "She's who Dan bit!"

"So we're all just one big chain of biters and bite-es." Dan said.

"Yep." PJ said, smiling now.

Now that they all knew each other's secrets they continued to sit together, waiting for Bailey and Louise to be finished.

"So, what's up?" Louise asked Bailey.

"Oh, I, um, just wanted to ask if you had that mixture we talked about…" Bailey slowly replied, her eyes shut.

"Yeah, it's right here, try it." Louise told her, handing her a green vial.

Bailey opened it carefully, then downed the contents like a shot. She grimaced, but then slowly smiled.

"It worked."
