Chapter 9
" Ok, calm down Clu." Carey pulled him brother away from the door, sighing.
" He's gonna bite her!!" Clu exclaimed. " Now let me go and help me get her back!"
" On the count of three we'll break down the door... ok?" Carey sighed. His brother nodded. " One... Two... Three..." He counted, then pushed all of his weight on the door.
" FI!" Clu shouted, running into the room. Peter looked up, and then back at Fi. Her eyes opened, and she smiled. Carey looked around for Kat, and finding her on the floor, ran towards her.
" God Dammit!! WHY CAN'T THIS EVER GET DONE?!?!" Brent shouted, glaring at the group. " That's it... I'm sick of this." He growled. He looked over at his brother, and Peter nodded. The vampire began to attempt to sink his teeth into the girl's neck, but a glowing stopped him.
" Her necklace is stopping it..." Clu whispered, smiling as Peter was thrown across the room. Brent glared at her, then turned towards Clu. In a flash, he was next to him, grinning.
*-*-*-*
I know that he's been on your mind,
That distant look is in your eye,
I thought with time you'd realize,
It's over, over.
*-*-*-*
" If we can't have you... we'll take the one person you love like family..." He grinned, then grabbed the back of Clu's neck. Clu tried to get away, but couldn't, Brent's strength proving to be too much.
" Stop it!" Fi exclaimed, glaring at Brent. " You can't take any of us! You know it!!"
" Your wrong Fi." Brent grinned, and began sinking his teeth into Clu. Fi stood where she was, fear immobilizing her. Clu cried out in pain, trying to get out of Brent's grip.
" Clu!" Carey exclaimed, seeing his brother.
" Stop it Brent!" Peter shouted, hitting his brother in the back of the head. Brent let go of Clu, turning to glare at his brother. Clu fell to the ground, Fiona rushing towards him.
*-*-*-*
Its not the way I choose to live
And something some where's got to give
As sharing this relationship gets older, older.
*-*-*-*
" You're a disgrace to our father Peter."
" No Brent... I'm not." Peter glared at his brother, his eyes glowing. " They don't deserve this. They aren't the ones who killed dad. Her father did- she didn't."
" And that makes it right?" Brent growled. " You have gone soft." He said quietly, grinning. He lunged for Peter, growling.
" What are they doing?" Carey asked, looking at Fiona. She shook her head, her eyes locked on the fight in front of them.
" You won't kill me Peter." Brent grinned. " You can't. Because then you'll be alone... helpless."
" I'd rather be helpless then." Peter hissed, and kicked his brother.
*-*-*-*
You know I'd fight for you
But how can I fight for someone
Who isn't even there?
I've had the rest of you
Now I want the best of you.
I don't care if it's not fair.
*-*-*-*
" Is he ok?" Carey whispered, snapping Fiona back into reality. She looked confused for a moment, then looked down at Clu. She felt for his pulse, smiling when she felt one. She nodded at Carey, smiling a little. Fiona stroked Clu's hair, her eyes once again locked on the fighting vampires.
" Fi?" Clu's voice came out barely above a whisper, snapping her reverie. She looked down at him, smiling. " What-"
" I'll explain later... can you stand?" Fi asked softly, helping him into a sitting position. Clu bit his lip, thinking for a moment before he nodded. With Fiona and Carey's help he stood, leaning heavily on Fiona. " Do you feel ok?"
*-*-*-*
Cuz I want it all, or nothing at all.
There's nowhere left to fall.
When you reach the bottom its now or never.
Is it all?
Or are we just friends? Is this how it ends?
With a simple telephone call?
You leave me here with nothing at all.
*-*-*-*
" I'm fine... what about you? He didn't hurt you or anything... did he?" Clu asked softly, looking at the younger girl. Fi shook her head, smiling a little at him.
" Your necklace worked." She grinned.
" Fiona." Peter's voice made Fi turn her head, seeing Peter stagger near her. " Take your friends and leave." He said quietly.
" What? I-"
" I'm going to set this place on fire... it's the only way that Brent'll be destroyed." Peter said softly.
" But you'll die..."
*-*-*-*
There are times it seems to me, sharing you in memories.
I feel it in my heart but I don't show it, show it.
And then there's times you look at me
As though I'm all that you can see,
Those times I don't believe it right,
I know it, know it.
*-*-*-*
" I'll be with my mother and father again Fiona. Now take your friends and leave... I can't hold Brent back forever." Peter said quietly, taking out a match box. He took out a match, and began to try to light it.
" No you can't brother." Brent grinned, grabbing his brother by the arm.
Fiona nodded, and walked towards Carey and Kat. " Kat?" She whispered, shaking her friend. " Kat wake up." She said louder. Kat moaned a little, and opened her eyes. She looked around, and seeing the two vampires fighting, fainted again. Carey laughed and scooped up his girlfriend in his arms.
*-*-*-*
Cuz you and I,
Could lose it all if you've got no more room
No room inside for me in your life.
Cuz I want it all, or nothing at all.
There's no where left to fall, it's now, or never.
*-*-*-*
" Lead the way Fi." Carey announced. Fi nodded, stealing a glance behind her. She saw Peter drop the burning match on the floor, and she smiled. Clu gently tugged on her arm, leading her out of the room. He then shut the door, making sure it stayed shut.
*-*-*
" But that's been closed since..."
" Sir... please. My daughters in there, so are my friends sons and daughter. Fiona's seen the stalker, and I have a feeling something's wrong. Please, just check." Molly pleaded, looking at the officer, tears beginning to drip. " They've been missing for an hour..."
" I'll check... but ma'am, they might not be there... they may have just gone to eat or to the movies."
" On the night of her junior prom? No, I don't think so." Irene sighed.
" I'll check." officer announced, and began walking towards the door with Ned; Irene, Miranda and Molly not far behind them. " No, you three stay here." He scolded, looking at the three women. Irene opened her mouth to say something, but stopped when they heard Clu shout. Ned began rushing inside the house, the officer not far behind.
" Oh frick this, I'm going in. You two with me?" Irene turned to her friends.
" I'll wait for the officers." Miranda said. " You go with her Molly." She smiled at the woman, who gratefully smiled back. Molly and Irene rushed into the house, following Ned and the officer. The two women began to call the teens' names, despite the officer's protests.
*-*-*-*-*
" Do you hear that?" Fi asked, stopping. Clu bumped into her, nodding. " MOM!!"
" DAD!!" Carey shouted.
" MOM!! MRS. P!!!" Clu yelled, as the three ran towards the sound of their parents voices.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
" Fi!" Molly exclaimed, running towards her daughters voice, Irene and Ned not far behind. She spotted her daughter and ran towards her, hugging her when she reached her. " Oh baby you scared us..."
" Mom..." Fiona smiled. " We've gotta get out of here, the guy... he lit the house on fire..." Fi said quickly.
" What about-"
" Carey knocked him out." Clu explained.
" Your neck! What happened?" Irene asked, looking at her son.
" We'll explain later mom, we've gotta go..." Carey said shifting Kat in his arms. Irene nodded, and the group ran out of the house, the officer shaking his head.
