Yamato's POV:
Today Jack said he wanted to do something special, but so far nothing's happening. We started like we always do, warm ups, review of yesterday, and then he just told me to sit on the couch. He's in the kitchen, making us hot chocolate. What's taking him so long?
Jack's POV"
Matt's in the living room, waiting for me to come out. He has no idea what's going on, but today, he's going to find out. I'm hoping he'll accept my offer, and if not. well, I'll undo my claim and stop the lessons. I hope he says yes though, his blood is wonderful, and one of my associates could accidentally harm him.
Yamato's POV:
Once again, I find myself without any memory of the past fifteen minutes. Wait. Suddenly I realize I'm not on the couch. I'm lying down on Jack's kitchen table. How the heck did I get here? I try to get up, but I can't move. There's nothing holding me down, and I don't feel any restaint at all, I just can't move. Jack enters from the other room. He smiles at me, but the smile isn't kind. I feel like a cupcake at a bake sale. Still smiling Jack makes his way here. I can't talk either, so I can't even ask what he's doing. All I can do is be scared to death as he knees down next to my head. "I see you're awake then, little one. I suppose you wish to know what I'm doing?" Jack's voice is different. He has a small lisp now, and draws out his s's and r's. Still smiling, he strokes my hair, pushing it away from my neck. Suddenly I think of my cut. Could Jack be doing it? And if so, why can't I remember any time before this? "More specifically," Jack begins again, "what I am. I'm sure you've seen horror movies, haven't you Matt? With monsters, and zombies, and werewolves, and vampires." Now I'm scared. "Well, I'm like that. A vampire. Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you, nor will my associates. I've put a claim on you. Do you know what that means, little one? Nobody else can drink your blood. Now, back to the movie thing. As I was saying, I'm a bit like the monsters in horror movies. I do drink blood, but I've never killed anybody. And they don't become like me, but that's what I want to do to you. Would you like to be a vampire Matt? You can speak now." With that, I can talk, but I don't know what to say. I manage to whisper, "Why?" "Why what? Why make you a vampire? It's part of culture. All vampires neeed to make at least one student. A vampire to go on and make future generations, but you don't need to worry about that part, you're still young. I myself haven't had offspring yet, and I'm over 600. Or maybe you meant, 'why should I become a vampire?' Well Matt, there are many, many benefits of being a vampire. One reason is life span. We aren't immortal, but our magic lets us live for a very, very long time. We can't turn into bats, though I wish we could. We can temporarily put a person under our control, putting them to sleep, or even erasing their memories. You have had all three done. The initiation doesn't hurt, my friend, you just have to have some of my blood, nothing serious. You can learn scorcery, and there's lots of fun activities, at least in my group. I'm afraid I can't tell you much more, or else I won't be able to erase your whole memory." I was really tired, and this information just gave me an awful headache. Jack was a vampire, I wasn't, but I could be one if I wanted. This was too weird. I managed to figure the new info out enough to come up with a new question. "What happens if I say no?" I asked wearily. Jack smiled and stroked my neck again. "Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I erase your memory of this event, we finish the class you signed up for, and then we most likely will never see eachother again." I think at this point I fell asleep again, bacause I can't remember anything after that, except my dad at the door to pick me up.
Jack's POV:
Right when I start to reach the boy, his father has to come to pick him up. Of course, I can't blame the man, I did keep Matt an hour later then I was supposed to, and the younger child had gone missing for three days. I simply state that we went a bit harder today, and it wore the poor child out. I handed him the unconsious Matt, and suggested that Matt stay the night the next day. I told him that we had already set it up, and he agreed. The man left, and I suddenly realized I forgot to take my daily feeding, which I usually get from my student, who had just left, still asleep, with his dad. Oh well, no big deal. I put on my coat, and go for a walk. I'll have to run into somebody on the street.
Dragon Flame: Ooh, Jack's a vampire. Who here was expecting that? My friend thought it was TK. For anybody wondering about him, I think the next chapter will be about him. Cerebus will be back, alsong with the big female dog, and the other black dog that watches Takeru. Ja ne!
