Summary- Mulder and Scully are on a case with vampires who have the ability to jump into another person and control them.
****************
Scully walked down to the basement, early as usual. Her partner never was one to come early, it was always Scully. She shifted her coffee and opened the door. She was very surprised to see her partner sitting at his desk with his feet on the table, reading a case folder.
"Mulder, what are you doing here?" Scully asked, while setting down her coffee.
"I work here. Didn't you know?" Mulder said, still engrossed in the folder.
"You know what I meant. Why are you at the office early?" She asked.
"New case came in last night. I wanted to surprise you when you got here today." He teased her.
"Please don't tell me it's another fluke worm." She said, walking up behind him to take a look at the folder. "Vampires, Mulder?" She asked, as she picked up the folder and inspected it.
"Not just any vampires, Scully, vampires that have the ability to jump into another person and control them."
"Sounds ludicrous, Mulder. Not even you should believe this BS." She threw the case folder atop the desk.
"Why do you always do this, Scully? Why can't you ever believe?"
"Believe in crap? I'm sorry you feel that way Mulder, but I don't want to spend another weekend chasing some people playing pranks that like to drink blood!"
"If you don't want to be on the X-files then get transferred! This is our job Scully, this is what we do! If you want violent crimes then transfer." He fumed at her.
"Mulder, I don't want to transfer," She started, quietly, "I want to stay on the X-files, and I want to stay with you, but you have to understand that some of your cases that you pick up seem very far fetched." She ended, looking at her fingers.
Mulder walked up to her and took her hands in his, "That's what makes us a team Scully, we're completely different, I believe and you only believe if it's scientifically explained. But that stuff I believe in Scully, are not going to be explained scientifically. That's why we get in our fights." Mulder finally finished his explanation.
"Ok I'll go with you. When do we leave? I need to go home and pack, then tell call my mom so she knows where I'm at. We where supposed to go shopping this weekend."
"Plane leaves for Pennsylvania, Philadelphia today at 4:00Pm I'll pick you up from your apartment at 1:00 ok?" Mulder said getting up to gather his stuff.
"Alright, call me before you pick me up. See you later Mulder." With that she left the office leaving behind her coffee.
Scully arrived at her apartment early enough for her to take a shower and pack. She wanted to be nice and fresh before going on this trip. She hated plane rides, especially if she didn't have nice comfortable clothes in. But then again she never did have comfortable clothes on when she was on a case with Mulder. Quickly taking her clothes then turning the water to hot, she jumped in the shower. Thinking that maybe she should take a bath, considering she will be staying in motel. She never trusted the motel's bathtubs. They always seemed unsanitary.
After she was done with her shower, she dried off and walked into her room to pick an out fit. Sighing she picked a white button up shirt with a black knee length skirt, formal but a bit more comfortable.
Pausing to look at the time on the clock, she had to call her mom before she left. She walked over to the phone, picked it up and dialed it. After her conversation with her mom was over she hung up the phone and walked over to her closet. She grabbed a suit case out of the closet just as the phone rang. Running over to get the phone, thinking it was her mother, before it went on the answering machine, she picked it up.
"Hello?"
"It's me Scully, I'm coming to pick you up right now be ready ok?"
"Ok, I'm still packing though, but I should be done by the time you get here."
"Ok, bye Scully."
"Bye" She hung up the phone and continued on her packing.
By the time she was finished with her packing, Mulder showed up. She answered the door before he will come in with his key for emergencies, she gave him. She gave him a key primarily because she was tired of him kicking her door down. He always used her key, even when it's not an emergency. She opened the door.
"Come on Scully, we're going to be late." He said picking up her trunk. "Do you have to take your whole room?"
"That's an insult you know. Saying a girl only has a few clothes and she can fit all of it in her trunk."
"Aw come on Scully I was only teasing."
"I know Mulder. Come on." She said taking his hand and leading him out the door as she was locking it.
They boarded the plane after giving the ticket lady their tickets. Mulder sat in the window seat since Scully was afraid of airplanes. She told him she wasn't but he could tell she was but the way her fingers clutched the arm of the chair.
It was a quiet ride to Philadelphia, mostly because Scully was to busy trying not to show Mulder her fear of planes. Once they got to Philadelphia they got of and rented a vehicle.
"Mulder did you make reservations at the motel we're staying at?" Scully asked.
"Yeah, We're headed their right now." He replied, as he spit out his sunflower seeds in the car's ashtray.
"Mulder you're going to clean that out, right?" she told him giving him the eyebrow.
"Of course Scully, you know me" He winked.
"That's exactly why." She teased back.
After teasing back and forth on the whole way to the motel, Mulder and Scully finally made it to the motel. The motel clerk seemed to take a liking to Mulder from the way she batted her eye lashes at her. She was a blonde with a large chest long legs and big blue eyes. 'Dumb blonde I bet her chest is not even real.' Scully thought viscously. 'Whoa where had that thought come from?' she thought again.
The clerk handed Mulder his and Scully's keys while stroking his hand almost imperceptibly. Scully grabbed Mulder's hand and the keys, giving a look of venom to the clerk before pushing Mulder in the elevator.
"What was that all about Scully?" Mulder asked, reaching his hand out for his key.
"You were taking to long so I took you and the keys instead of waiting for you." She said innocently. Stepping out of the elevator, and walking to her room connecting to Mulder's she added, "I'll see you in a few minutes Mulder, I'm going to unpack."
"Alright I'll do the same." He said, opening his door to his room then walking in. He shut the door behind him.
Scully stepped in her room and threw her suit case one the bed and unzipped it. She pulled out her bathroom utilities and stocked them in the bathroom. After most of her unpacking was done she knocked on the connecting door to Mulder's room. He answered it in seconds.
"I thought you died in there" Mulder teased her. "I'm hungry, want to go get something too eat, Scully?"
"Mulder, you're always hungry, but for once I agree with you, I'm hungry too." She pulled him out of his room. He turned around to lock it be fore he forgot.
They walked a bit around before spotting a decent looking food place they could eat at. Mulder held the door open for her as she walked in and sat at a booth.
"What do you want to eat Scully?" Mulder asked.
"Um I guess a salad" She said looking at the menu.
"Oh Scully, you have to learn to live. You're not going to gain 50 pounds by eating a burger."
"Well I would like to live a long healthy life. You, on the other hand, your arteries are clogging up as we speak."
"Scully I do my exercises. I eat healthy, once in awhile, and I don't have a beer belly" He told her rubbing his flat stomach.
"Ok, I give you credit." She sighed as Mulder gave her his puppy dog eyes. "Fine I'll get the burger." She gave in to his eyes.
"Great!" He waited for the waiter to come to their table before saying, "We'd like the two ultimate double bacon cheese burgers please." He said ignoring Scully's glare.
"What would you like to drink?" the waiter asked.
"Two cherry cokes" Mulder said with a big smile.
"That's whe-" Scully was interrupted by Mulder.
"That is all we'll have, thank you" Mulder said with laughter in his eyes.
When the waiter walked away Scully merely glared at Mulder.
"Aw come on Scully, this meal is not going to give you a fungus or something."
"No but I will spend half the night doing exercises. Do you want to go jogging with me tomorrow?" She asked him with a smile.
"Well, I guess it couldn't hurt. Considering I made you eat all that fat" He laughed.
The food came and even Scully had to admit that it was good. She only ate half of it though; she said it was too big for her. She suggested that they go back to the motel room and get started on some profiling and figuring out what they need to do for this case.
When the food was all gone, Mulder paid the bill, still ignoring Scully's protests; they walked back to the motel in relatively silence. Scully entered her room and waited for Mulder to grab the case folder and return to her room. He came through her connecting door. Scully rolled her eyes and shut her front door.
"I was holding the door open for you." She told him, while plopping down on the bed next to Mulder. "So, what do you we have here?"
"A few people, who are in psychiatric care as we speak, have been claiming that they have been bitten by a vampire. They claim that they did not turn into a vampire, but the vampire controls them." He said taking out a file.
"Wait, you're telling me that these vampires can control you?"
"That's exactly what I'm telling you Scully. We were called here by the local sheriff. He said these people, who are in psychiatric care, have been killing people by a stab wound to the stomach then drinking all the blood in their bodies. I guess theses people don't take the form of a vampire. He said that the families of these people say that they haven't been acting the same for a few weeks." He handed her a file.
"So these just recently started?" She said going through the file that he handed her.
"Yep, so our job is to find out how these vampires are doing it."
"Alright, where are we going tomorrow?" She asked him.
"We are going to the psychiatric care hospital to meet all those patients. Some of them are normal just claiming that they didn't know what they were doing. They other ones are, in my theory, are still being controlled."
"What ever Mulder, I'll be ready in the morning. I'm going to get some sleep now, alright? Good night Mulder." She said as he was gathering all the folders and files.
"Good night Scully, I'll be by your room in the morning, sleep tight, don't let the fluke worms bite." He winked.
"Hey Mulder," She said, before he closed the door, "We didn't get to go jogging tonight."
"We'll make it up later," He said laughing. "Night, Scully" He finally shut the door.
It was around 7 in the morning when Scully heard foot steps in the room next to her. She groggily got up from her wonderful slumber. She stood up grabbed her robe, put it on, than made her way over to the bathroom, where she could do all the morning rituals.
After all that was done, she went back into her room and picked out a black skirt with a black shirt and her black trench coat to go over all of that. She knew she looked gothic, well a bit, but she had to wear something businesslike. After she was dressed, she knocked on Mulder's connecting door.
He opened it on the first knock. His hair was tousled and wet. He was wearing his normal business out fit with, tie and suit.
"Hey Scully, are you ready to go?" Mulder asked, opening the door wider for her to walk in.
"Yeah, are you?" She asked him.
"Yeah, just let me grab my coat, than we'll be on our way." Mulder said, grabbing his car keys and briefcase. "Alright, let's go." He led her out the door and locked it. They walked out to the car, and got in. Scully got out the map and started marking the places they needed to go. Most of the people they needed to see were at one hospital.
"Mulder head to the psychiatric hospital first, that's where most of the victims are. So are they being charged with murder or what?" She said, reading the files again.
"Well, they can't figure out if these people are mental, or if they are telling the truth, that's why they called us in." He told her, still keeping his eyes on the road.
"Well, that doesn't make sense, either their crazy, or they killed people."
"Scully, I know you still don't believe in this vampire stuff, but tell me how a 45 year old mom with a successful job, husband, and 4 kids at home and manage to kill people?" He said with curiosity.
"That does sound odd. Maybe her husband was cheating on her and her kids are snotty. She couldn't take it anymore and decided to go bad?" She said comically.
"Scully, make a joke?" He joked back.
Scully didn't reply. She just gave him her famous eyebrow. They made it to the psychiatric hospital, and walked up to the front desk.
"Hi, my names Fox Mulder and this is my partner Dana Scully. Were with the bureau and we're here on an investigation concerning some patients who claim they were controlled by vampires." Mulder said, as he showed the nurse his ID badge. Scully did the same but stopped when she heard a gasp.
"Is something the matter?" Mulder asked.
"Dana Scully, the one who dated Professor Daniel Waterson just to get a good grade?" The nurse said to Scully.
"I happen to have actually loved him. Let me guess, your name is Darla?" Scully said with sarcasm.
"Is their something I'm missing here? Dating professors to get good grades?"
"That's what she did alright." Darla said.
"I didn't do that, unlike you. Anyways I'm busy, so if you'll excuse us we need to go speak to these people." Scully said walking away grabbing Mulder's arm along with her.
"What was that about Scully?" Mulder asked when they were out of ear shot.
"Well, we went to med school together, and I sort of, um, dated our professor" Scully said blushing profoundly.
"Why didn't I ever hear of this, Scully?" He said, as they rounded the corner and through the doors to the psychiatric center.
"We can talk later about his Mulder, we have a case." She took the opportunity to distract him.
After talking to the doctor in the room they headed down to meet the patients. They had made an appointment a day earlier.
Mulder and Scully sat in a room with nobody else in it but them, and one of the patients, whose name was Sheryl Cornell. After telling her who they were they began to ask her questions.
"Mrs. Cornell, what do you remember when you murdered the man from the bar?" Mulder started.
"I remember walking over to him, passing off signs and directed him in the alley way. But I didn't kill him, I wasn't doing it, I was being controlled. The next thing I remember I stabbed him and started to drink his blood. It was horrible, knowing you killed a man just for his blood." She put her hands on her head quietly.
"Did you get bit by something or someone Mrs. Cornell?" Mulder asked another question.
"Yes, I was at a bar and I had a few drinks to say the least. He started to kiss me and then I felt a sharp pain in my neck. I found two puncture wounds the next day." She replied.
"Mrs. Cornell, were you on drugs at the time?" Scully asked in a bored voice. Mulder and Mrs. Cornell looked at her with annoyance. "I am just trying to get to all the facts." She said defensively.
"No I have never been on drugs." Mrs. Cornell said harshly.
"But you were drunk, were you not?"
"Scully, I think we should call it a day. What do you think?" Mulder said trying to break up the woman from getting into a cat fight.
"Alright Mrs. Cornell, if you have any information or any tips you can give us please feel free to call us on these cards. This is mine and this is Agent Mulder's." Scully said getting up and walking to the door.
They exited the building after talking to a few more people, asking almost the same questions. Some people were bit by dogs, wolfs, coyotes, more men, or females. It seemed like they took over animals or they can change into animals, that was Mulder's theory. They got a tip off of a man, whom was bit by a coyote in the woods. He said that he followed a strange smell, then saw some people heading that way, next thing he knew, he was bitten by a coyote.
"So we're heading to the woods?" Scully asked, "I don't know what you expect to find out there. It's obvious he knew you were gullible."
"Scully, I need you on this case, this is a hard one. But if you're going to do nothing but complain and shut down my theories then why don't you go home?" He said.
Scully was obviously taken aback, Mulder had never yelled at her like that before. "No, I'm fine; I'll be quiet from now on." She said imperceptibly.
"I'm sorry Scully. I didn't mean to yell you at you like that." He looked at her with concern.
"It's ok, your right, I should stop acting like this and just help you with this case."
Mulder stopped the car and look around for a blocked off sign in the woods, it seemed to be unimpeded, so he just drove into the woods and parked. He shut off the engine and got out of the car.
"Alright Scully, just look around, if you see anything just call Ok?" He said as he walked away towards the left side.
Scully walked towards the right side. It was dark in the forest even though it was mid afternoon. It seemed to her like she was walking around for hours, but really it was only minutes. She just didn't know what she would find here. Her feet were killing her. She shouldn't have worn those high heels.
She stopped when she smelled a funny smell. Mulder would probably be too far for him to hear her if she called him so she continued along alone. Something flashed in the corners of her eye. Turning to face what had caused this sudden movement, she was surprised to see people heading that way.
"Freeze, Federal Agent, FBI!" Scully shouted trying to run and catch up to them.
They didn't even seem to hear her they just kept running along. Scully was growing more frustrated by the second. Suddenly she tripped and fell down a steep hill. Tumbling, rolling, falling, and getting scratched all over the face as she fell.
She hit the bottom of the steep hill. She sat up wearily feeling her face to see how bad the damage was. Thank goodness, she thought, only a few major cuts, other than that scratches and bruises all over her body. She tried to stand up but fell back down in pain. Great, she had sprung her ankle!
She lay back down on the dried, dead leaves from the trees. She sat up abruptly when she felt a searing pain on her arm. It was a rat! It had bitten her! She felt a bit dizzy, then fell back down loosing all consciousness.

"Hi, my names Fox Mulder and this is my partner Dana Scully. Were with the bureau and we're here on an investigation concerning some patients who claim they were controlled by vampires." Mulder said, as he showed the nurse his ID badge. Scully did the same but stopped when she heard a gasp.
"Is something the matter?" Mulder asked.
"Dana Scully, the one who dated Professor Daniel Waterson just to get a good grade?" The nurse said to Scully.
"I happen to have actually loved him. Let me guess, your name is Darla?" Scully said with sarcasm.
"Is their something I'm missing here? Dating professors to get good grades?"
"That's what she did alright." Darla said.
"I didn't do that, unlike you. Anyways I'm busy, so if you'll excuse us we need to go speak to these people." Scully said walking away grabbing Mulder's arm along with her.
"What was that about Scully?" Mulder asked when they were out of ear shot.
"Well, we went to med school together, and I sort of, um, dated our professor" Scully said blushing profoundly.
"Why didn't I ever hear of this, Scully?" He said, as they rounded the corner and through the doors to the psychiatric center.
"We can talk later about his Mulder, we have a case." She took the opportunity to distract him.
After talking to the doctor in the room they headed down to meet the patients. They had made an appointment a day earlier.
Mulder and Scully sat in a room with nobody else in it but them, and one of the patients, whose name was Sheryl Cornell. After telling her who they were they began to ask her questions.
"Mrs. Cornell, what do you remember when you murdered the man from the bar?" Mulder started.
"I remember walking over to him, passing off signs and directed him in the alley way. But I didn't kill him, I wasn't doing it, I was being controlled. The next thing I remember I stabbed him and started to drink his blood. It was horrible, knowing you killed a man just for his blood." She put her hands on her head quietly.
"Did you get bit by something or someone Mrs. Cornell?" Mulder asked another question.
"Yes, I was at a bar and I had a few drinks to say the least. He started to kiss me and then I felt a sharp pain in my neck. I found two puncture wounds the next day." She replied.
"Mrs. Cornell, were you on drugs at the time?" Scully asked in a bored voice. Mulder and Mrs. Cornell looked at her with annoyance. "I am just trying to get to all the facts." She said defensively.
"No I have never been on drugs." Mrs. Cornell said harshly.
"But you were drunk, were you not?"
"Scully, I think we should call it a day. What do you think?" Mulder said trying to break up the woman from getting into a cat fight.
"Alright Mrs. Cornell, if you have any information or any tips you can give us please feel free to call us on these cards. This is mine and this is Agent Mulder's." Scully said getting up and walking to the door.
They exited the building after talking to a few more people, asking almost the same questions. Some people were bit by dogs, wolfs, coyotes, more men, or females. It seemed like they took over animals or they can change into animals, that was Mulder's theory. They got a tip off of a man, whom was bit by a coyote in the woods. He said that he followed a strange smell, then saw some people heading that way, next thing he knew, he was bitten by a coyote.
"So we're heading to the woods?" Scully asked, "I don't know what you expect to find out there. It's obvious he knew you were gullible."
"Scully, I need you on this case, this is a hard one. But if you're going to do nothing but complain and shut down my theories then why don't you go home?" He said.
Scully was obviously taken aback, Mulder had never yelled at her like that before. "No, I'm fine; I'll be quiet from now on." She said imperceptibly.
"I'm sorry Scully. I didn't mean to yell you at you like that." He looked at her with concern.
"It's ok, your right, I should stop acting like this and just help you with this case."
Mulder stopped the car and look around for a blocked off sign in the woods, it seemed to be unimpeded, so he just drove into the woods and parked. He shut off the engine and got out of the car.
"Alright Scully, just look around, if you see anything just call Ok?" He said as he walked away towards the left side.
Scully walked towards the right side. It was dark in the forest even though it was mid afternoon. It seemed to her like she was walking around for hours, but really it was only minutes. She just didn't know what she would find here. Her feet were killing her. She shouldn't have worn those high heels.
She stopped when she smelled a funny smell. Mulder would probably be too far for him to hear her if she called him so she continued along alone. Something flashed in the corners of her eye. Turning to face what had caused this sudden movement, she was surprised to see people heading that way.
"Freeze, Federal Agent, FBI!" Scully shouted trying to run and catch up to them.
They didn't even seem to hear her they just kept running along. Scully was growing more frustrated by the second. Suddenly she tripped and fell down a steep hill. Tumbling, rolling, falling, and getting scratched all over the face as she fell.
She hit the bottom of the steep hill. She sat up wearily feeling her face to see how bad the damage was. Thank goodness, she thought, only a few major cuts, other than that scratches and bruises all over her body. She tried to stand up but fell back down in pain. Great, she had sprung her ankle!
She lay back down on the dried, dead leaves from the trees. She sat up abruptly when she felt a searing pain on her arm. It was a rat! It had bitten her! She felt a bit dizzy, then fell back down loosing all consciousness.
