Changing…….
After a long day at the office….playing video games and surfing the net, I quickly found my way home. I have never really had a home before until Monica showed up into my life. And that was ANY of my past lives. All of them. For I am almost 1650 years old.
I was born when the Romans still ruled the earth, or they were about to collapse. After Rome fell, my family and Joey's family moved to Britain. We settled there and lived our lives as chieftains, then a bit later noblemen. Then we moved to America.
After fighting in it's wars, which were the Revolutionary, War of 1812, Texas independence, Mexican War, Civil War, Spanish American War, WWI and two, Korean and Vietnam. Of course the US government did not keep very good reports on it's soldiers, until the last two. SO we were able to participate in almost every war out there.
Unlike what I portray, I am NO coward and NO weakling. I have fought and killed before. Earlier, with bow and arrow, crossbow, sword, gun and even hand to hand.
When we were not fighting or were soldiers, we were scouts, ranchers, miners, mountain men, surveyors, sailors, lumberjacks, farmers, blacksmiths, teachers, adventurous, photographers, salesmen, store owners and many other occupations too numerous to name. Over a certain year period or if one of us would have an accident, we would pull up and start all over again.
So we decided to go on and start up a new life. I would have the mundane job and be the smart one, while Joey would be the actor and the dim witted one. That is how our friends know us as.
Although, he is a VERY good actor. He is incredibly sharp as a diamond. He even was a student under Leonardo De Vinci. Well, I was too. But, his talents were so much more than mine. In the arts area, as well as others. We also took a class with Einstein.
There are times, when Ross says something that is actually wrong, Joey has to bite his bottom lip not to correct him. I almost burst out laughing, knowing that Joey is way more smarter than Ross on a bad day.
Ross, is a great friend of mine. One of the best friends that I have had in a long while, but I will have to kill him off. I know that. If he is left alive and gets into an argument with Monica, there is always a chance that they will reconcile. She is going to have to cut her ties with friends as well as family. When we leave.
Well, maybe not all friends. Joey is now looking at Rachel as a possible soul mate to bring into the fold. We are just going to have to do something about Ross. But what? It will have to look natural. Maybe his rage problem would do the trick. He could have high blood pressure and have a heart attack. It could very well be what we have planned for him.
When I entered the building, I opened the mailbox and took out my letters. Junk, bills, bills, credit car statement, junk, junk, postcard and a letter from mom, letter from my European attorney who uses an assumed name, magazine, catalogue, bill, bank statement, bill, junk, hmmmmm… Victoria's Secret. Monica ought to look really good in one of these, I thought as I scanned the catalogue.
"Already looking at other women, Chandler?" Joey asked me.
"Trying to decide what she would look good in, Joe." I turned toward my best friend. Amazingly enough we were born the same year. We were in all intents and purposes brothers.
Joey just smiled. "You are SOOOO lucky, dude!" I grinned as we both walked up the stairs, laughing as we left. Both about ready to jump into playing our parts in our lives. But that night, they were to change dramatically.
"So, tonight is the full moon again." Joey brought up.
"Yup." I was reading the letter from my attorney that dealt with my Swiss account.
"So uhmmm, are you going to start to draw her in verbally?" Joey asked.
I stopped and looked at him. "Yes. It will be over half way done. So I will start by broaching the subject. And how are you coming with Rachel?"
"Slow but sure. But if all else fails, I have a plan." Joey halfway smiled.
"I bet you do." We then arrived at the apartment. I then walked in, with Joey fallowing me. "Honey, I am HOME!" I went and kissed Monica hard on the lips.
Two hours later…..
Dinner was over and dishes done. Everyone was sitting in their usual places. IE…me and Monica on the chair, Rachel on the couch , holding Emma, Joey to her left, Ross to her right and Phoebe sitting on the floor by him. I decided to bring up the subject of a long life.
I kissed her forehead. "I am so glad that we are together."
"Ok, Chandler, what do you want?" Monica looked at me weird.
"I mean I wish we had more than one lifetime." I kissed her neck. I can hear and smell her blood. I can barely control my self from it's siren call. After all the full moon is up, but since it is not in the middle of the night sky, it is only going to get worse.
Monica turned around and kissed me on the lips. "I wish there was a way to have more than one." She sighed as I hugged her close. This was evidently going to be much easier than I thought it would be.
'You will get your wish, my dear. Just two and a half years more.' I then hugged her closely. "It would be so neat to live out more than one lifetime with each other."
"Just like my past lives." Phoebe smiled. "I am sure you will."
Ross laughed. "There is NO evidence that past lives exist."
"But…." Phoebe started again.
"It is scientifically unsound and a lot of nonsense." Ross responded.
"Ross is right. I guess we should make the most of our time with each other." Monica sighed out.
"I think that Ross who is treading on Phoebe's beliefs is in the wrong." I stated. Well, it looks as though that I am going to have trouble. I should have known that Ross would rain on my parade.
"Chandler I thought that you were logical." Ross stated.
"I am, but I do not step on people's beliefs and neither should you. It is like telling you that you are not to be Jewish. No one has that right." I sat back holding Monica, knowing I had just won.
"Yeah, I guess you are right. Phoebe I am sorry, I should never have said what I said." Ross apologized. Crisis averted.
"That is okay, Ross. It is hard for non believers to understand." Phoebe came back with. She may be corky, but there are times when she worriers me about her beliefs.
Ross smiled and looked at Rachel and she shook her head yes. "I…we have an announcement to make…" Ross stated aloud. "WE are back together!"
Phoebe clapped. "See, I told you…lobsters."
Monica was ecstatic. "Oh, this is great, we might get to be sisters-in-law yet."
Joey's eyes just narrowed and he got up and left the room. This stung. I can feel the hurt in his veins. Every 25 years we renew our vows of us being blood brothers. Literally.
"Joey…..wait!" Rachel called out. But he didn't and I could not blame him. I just looked at Ross and he had a smug look on his face. I then easily picked up Monica and sat her back down on the chair and followed Joey out.
I recognized the look on his face. Trouble! Ross would not be alive for very long. And I was going to be the one to take care of him. Better me than him. He would go in and goof it up because of his anger and temper.
I found him on the roof. "Joey?"
"Chandler, we have got to get rid of him. Now more than ever."
"We will, Joe. But we will have to do it in a way to make him look like a bad guy." I thought for a moment. "I got it! We can not have anything happen to him like him getting killed in a car wreck or him found with his throat cut because of a mugging. It has to be something that he did to himself. I KNOW!!!"
"TELL ME!!!" Joey started.
"I will later. Right now, we need to mellow you down. Some Irish Coffee should work. Then we will go for a walk and that should mellow you a bit more. That is, until midnight tonight. Just try and stay away from Ross, will ya?" I then led him to the corner bar.
Three hours later….I arrived home after making sure that Joey would stay in his apartment after telling him my plans. Once I opened up the door, Monica was sitting at the table mad. I could tell.
"Where were you?"
"Helping out a friend that everyone but me seems to have forgotten." I then hung up my jacket.
"Joey will be fine, just give him a few days and he will have a new girl and would have forgotten about Rachel."
"Joey does NOT give his heart away to anyone! And you know what? He is hurting now!"
"Don't you yell at me! And he WILL get over it!"
"No he will not! He is NOT your brother who jumps from one 'love' to another. No human being has ever flip flopped over girls as much as he has. But you know what? I think that Joey would be even better for her than Ross! Why? He would NEVER cheat on Rachel, and if he makes mistakes, he owns up to them!"
"Ross takes responsibility with what happens!"
I then heard the door open and knew who it was. "Oh yeah? Can you say….We were on a BREAK!!!!!!!!!!?" I turned around to see Ross, and Rachel standing there. Rachel with a hurt look on her face and Ross with a shocked look on his face that soon turned toward anger.
"BUT we WERE…."
"…on a break!!!!!!!! Ross we have heard that from the beginning. Before you say anything, Mon…I have a question. If that had happened to us, would you have forgiven me if I had said that?" By that time Joey had also joined us. I know that he heard every word, because our hearing is so much better than even a dog's. And so is our eye sight. I just wear glasses to help add to my act.
Monica looked between me and then at Ross. She was trying to decide the best way to answer that so that she would not betray her brother. But, I knew that she did not agree with Ross. And if she said no, then their relationship would be over.
"Over an amount of time." That was her way of coping out.
"The truth, Monica. That event would be unforgivable in YOUR eyes. We ALL know it. Am I right?"
Monica opened her mouth to deny me, but she knew that if she said anything either me or her brother would be hurt. "It depends on the girl." Before I could say anything. "But I would never have forgiven you."
Ross and Rachel just stood there, each one shocked. "I know and I would hope that you never would if I ever hurt you in any way. But babe, I could never do anything to hurt you. I love you too much for that. If another person cheats on another, I think that said person does not love that person totally and completely but happened to be in love with the idea of said person or it is an infatuation. And a person loves everything about the other including the faults. Which I think in our relationship there may be, but I think of everything about you as perfect. No matter what others may say."
Monica smiled and came over and hugged me. "That is the most romantic bit of crap that I have ever heard. And I LOVED it!" She then kissed me.
"Well…" Ross started.
"Ross, don't ruin it." Rachel advised.
"But it a load of bullshit!"
"You just did." Rachel sighed then turned to Joey. "Would you like to go and get something to eat?"
"Sure! Your choice." Joey smiled for the first time that night.
"Joey, don't forget, you have that audition early tomorrow morning." I reminded him.
Joey smiled. "Uh, thanks Chandler. Come on let's go!" They both left. I then led Monica to the couch and pulled her down on my lap. Ross just stood there in the apartment, not believing what happened.
I then turned the TV on watched a movie and then watched the news. During which, Monica drifted off to sleep in my arms. I then looked up at Ross who stood there glaring at me even after all of this time.
"Think what you will, I do not care! Now I am going to get Monica to bed." I then picked up my sleeping wife. "Good night, Ross." He did not say anything, just turned and left.
After laying her down, I went and locked the door and windows and shut the drapes.. All of them No one could see what was going on. And turned off the ringer on the phones. No one could disturb me as what I was about to do. Tonight and then next half of the year would be crucial. If any foul ups occurred then I would have to start ALL over again.
And in less than five years I would have to move. There was no point in trying to get around it, I could NOT take Monica with me! There would be no time to bring her around and I would have failed to bring my heart and soul mate over. And that would eventually kill me.
I then walked to the bedroom and started to undress. Got in my boxers and tee shirt and got into bed. A bit later on, I heard Joey's door open and close. "Night Chandler and thanks!" Joey mumbled aloud. No other humans could hear it.
But I could. I then smiled. "Night, Joey."
Two hours later…I knew it was time. The hunger pains were evident. I literally ached for Monica's blood. I have never felt this way about another human being before. I also have never had the pains so intense as now.
I carefully moved her hair out of the way. "Nocturnal…..Numbest!" I stated three times in her ear. The nocturnal to help her sleep more and the numbest to take away the pain. I also usually slip a little something in her wine glass at night as well or a sedative, just to be on the safe side. But I did not tonight.
I then kissed her shoulder. And then my teeth started to expand out or the fangs. I then sunk them into her neck. I would take little sips for the next half hour and then I stopped. I slit my own wrist and held it up next to her neck and my blood started to heal her wounds as well as it started on it's passage into her veins.
Finally about one in the morning, I pulled my wrist back and saw that everything had happened the way it should have. I smiled as I looked over my work. No scratches no blood on the clothes or the bed sheets or anything. There was nothing on my wrist as usual as well. Since vampires can heal fast and feel no pain, except a broken heart.
I then kissed her neck right on the spot where I took her blood. This time not feeling the hunger pains. A bit later I woke Monica up. "Honey….we still got to get you ready for bed. Let me get your night clothes."
Monica smiled, "Thanks, hon."
Meanwhile……
Phoebe had purchased a new book earlier that day. And now she was going to read it. It was very old and the pages were crumpled and falling apart. She scanned the book and somehow was drawn by the word….VAMPIRES!!!!!!!!

The next chapter should be even more startling…..READ AND REVIEW!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!! And Thanks!!!!!
