1Chapter 6:

I took out Aubrey's knife and cut the noose off his neck. I tossed the cut rope fragments to the side. I placed my head on his chest to see if he was breathing. His breathing was there but really shallow. His wrists where cut almost bone deep. Like the little rhyme he didn't bother crossing the street he went down the block. Both his wrists bared cuts that looked like a T. Down then across.

I was growing into a panic. The sun has set a few minutes prior to me coming here so it was growing steadily darker. I tried stopping the blood flow but immediately realized it wasn't going to do anything. I can bring him to a hospital. "What do I do? What do I do?" I started mumbling then screaming. This kid was so young. "Matt what do I do." I looked at him. His eyes opened fast.

"Why aren't I dead?" He started to talk as blood continued to pour from his wrists. "Kill me now!"

"Matt its okay, its me Sam." I tried to calm him and make him stay still but he started thrashing around.

"No get off me, I don't care I rather die than stay on this planet." His eyes darted back and fourth as he noticed his wrists. "Sam please, just leave me. This is what I want more than anything right now."

"Matt your going to die." I said bluntly

"That's the point of suicide Sam. For me to die and be happy." He simply stated as he came to a complete stand still. There was too much blood lost. He started blacking out.

"Your one of my only friends and I don't want you dead." With that I reached for Aubrey's blade. I know how to do it I just have never before. Matt's eyes fluttered open.

"What the hell are you doing?" Matt tried to move away and he couldn't. I took Matt's wrist and drank. "What the hell. Holy shit get off me and leave me the hell alone." The warm coppery liquid slid down my throat. After I took a little I cut the base of my neck. I put press on Matt. He was starting to become very angry and temperamental. I made him drink. A few minutes passed and I help Matt go limp.

"That will do." I said and placed him back on the ground. "I am sorry Matt I couldn't let you do that." I took the both of us to New Mayhem.

I placed Matt on the sofa. It would be a while before he awoke. I didn't have a clue of what to do. Matt is my first fledgling and I have no experience with this. I sat on the floor in shock. I was wondering what to do when Marry walked in. I noticed the time was 11:30.

"So I see you brought take out." Marry smirked and stood next to me.

"Don't touch him Marry. " I was semi huddled close to the couch and glancing from Matt to Marry.

"And why not?" Marry took a few steps close to Matt. "He's quite paler than what I recall." Marry gave me an odd look. "Care to explain."

"Well . . . .see . . . . .he got really upset about Maddie . . .. and well. . . tried to kill himself." I looked down.

"So you . . . changed him?" Marry gave a laugh. "This reminds me of how I acquired you. So tell me do you know remotely what your doing?"

"Not really but it will be okay. He's going to be fine." I glanced at him and stood up and put a blanket over him.

"What's his name now?" Marry inquired.

"I think it should be Matt because he has to go back to his mom for a while. She'd just die if Matt turned up missing. He has friends." I gave a worried glace at Marry.

"My suggestion is you think of a name for him and a place for his first meal." Marry circled the couch and stared at Matt.

"Night. " I said in a whisper that was barley noticeable.

"Night did you say?" Marry walked back over to me. "Why Night?"

"I don't really know. I remember being in his rooms and he had some books by Jess and then I don't know when I changed him it was changing from day to night?" I really didn't know why I picked that name.

"Oh well I like it." Marry gave a glance at the newly named "Night" and then at me. "It could of been more original. But it will do." He disappeared into the bedroom. "More creative. At least I picked out a name for him." I mumbled. "Hey I heard that." Marry called from the other room.
I decided to give Matt's mom a call and tell her that he's okay so I did. She was a little upset but she was okay with him spending the night. I figure she would be more upset if Matt showed up at like 6 am with blood all over him and killed her or something to that affect. I turned on the television and some random late night show was on. I didn't feel like changing the channel so I just left it. I lay on the floor parallel to the couch. "I wonder how long it will take him to wake up." I said in a mumble to myself. A couple hours, and he has to feed right after." Marry said from the bedroom. "Thanks Marry. I think I am going to take him to Single Earth." I sat up and glanced around. Wondering what to do till he awoke." Odds are he'd kill whom ever he was feeding from. He will not be able to control the lust Sam." Marry strutted into the room in fresh cloths. "Just take him somewhere abandoned or what not." He ran his fingers threw his hair.
"And what if he refuses to. At least at Single Earth they'll understand and he can get what he needs." I stood up and turned off the TV. I turned on the stereo and put in a random cd. It was basically a mix of random songs I have come to love over the years. The 1st song that came on to the speakers was "Stupid Girl" by Cold. Marry gave me an odd look and walked out the door.
"So I guess it's just me now." I started moving around the place cleaning it up a bit. It was relatively small. I was cleaning off the dust that had gathered on the kitchen counter when I heard something.

"Where am I?" Matt sat up very slowly and cautiously. He tried to look around him but he seemed pretty stiff.

"Hey your at my apartment." I came over to him and sat next to him on the couch. And he immediately moved farther away.

"Who are you and why am I here." He was getting relatively upset." Well Matt it's a long story. After the whole Maddie thing you wanted to kill yourself. I couldn't let that happen." I shifted uncomfortably. Matt's eyes grew wide and tears welled up.
Then why aren't I dead? I remember that I should be dead and yet I am not." Matt looked at his wrists, which had already started to heal. "I want to be dead."

"You are Night." I looked down at the floor and then back up at him.
What do you mean by "You are Night" His eyes grew black. I killed you." I said softly. "And your name is now Night. No longer to be known here by Matthew." I looked at the floor again.

"I can't be dead if I'm here." He was starting to shake slightly. "Don't tell my lies."

"Well then, I'll just come out and tell you . . . I tried to muster the strength to tell him but it was harder than I expected. "Matt I changed you. Now you are Night. You are a vampire now." I looked into his once piercing blue eyes that where now black with a rim of white on the inside.
"No." He shook his head. "Vampires aren't real." He attempted to stand up and stumbled forward and then collapsed on the floor in front of the couch.

"I'm not feeling very well."

"Are you hungry?" I asked with a hit of hint in my voice as I helped him up from the ground.

"Yeah but It feels really weird. I'm not craving for food. More like . . ." He looked into my eyes. "Blood." He stood freely now and had his arms wrapped around him like he was giving himself a hug.

"We have to get you someone to eat. Where going to a place called Single Earth." I started walking towards the door.

"Single Earth? Why does that sound familiar?" Matt questioned himself.

" It doesn't matter now. Lets hurry up before you get over hungry." I took the both of us to a close by Single Earth.

When we arrived there it was roughly 1:30 am or so. It was a little busy. We where having somewhat of a hard time finding a willing donor.

"I can't believe this is happening. It's not real. I can't do this." Matt sat on a couch in a corner and talked to himself. I noticed a familiar face. Caryn, a witch of the Smoke line. I walked over to her and began a conversation.

"Hello Caryn, how are you today?" I put on a happy face. Caryn has worked with Single Earth for a while and people weren't lining up to donate to a baby vampire.

"I'm good Sam, is there anything I can help you with?" Caryn raised her eyebrow.

"Well yes actually. I'm having trouble finding shall we say a meal." I gave a nervous glace at Caryn.

"Really? That's odd there's tons of people here that wouldn't mind letting you feed from them." She gave a grin.

"Not for me. For him." I pointed to Matt. "See I just turned him and he hasn't fed yet. And well nobody wants to risk death I guess." I tried to make light of the situation.

"Oh I see. I'll find you someone, relax don't worry. Give me a minute." Caryn disappeared into a crowd and emerged a few minutes later with a tan colored male. " This is Casimir and he has agreed to help you guys out." Caryn left the man and went back to mingle with the locals.

"Hey so where's your friend?" Casimir inquired.

"He's right here." I took him to Matt and let him feed. Matt was more than reluctant at first but after he bit he soon forgot about his weariness. After a few minutes Matt stopped automatically.

"Thank you." Matt said and nodded at Casimir.

"Your welcome." Casimir help a towel against a now open wound on his left wrist.

"Sam, is it normal not to remember anything?" Matt looked dazed. He pulled his left leg underneath him.

"To some extend. You will remember eventually." I took a seat across from him.

"Do you mind if I ask you a few things?" Matt glanced up and waited for an answer.

"No not at all, ask away Night." I looked intently at him. I missed the color his eyes once where.

"Why are you calling me Night?" His eyebrows rose.

"Because its your name now. You're in a town called New Mayhem. Vampires are immortal. Your supposed to not think back about your life. You're dead now. Its like when you're born your mom named you Matthew. Now that you died I named you Night." I tried to make sense of what I had just said.

"But why do I have to change my name?"

"Because you have to forget about your life. It can drive someone crazy to be reminded everyday of what they left behind. And usually when you're changed you don't remember things for a while. You remembered fast." I cracked my knuckles.

"So I cant go back to my mom now? Are you kidding me?" Matt looked horrified.

"Well usually you wouldn't. But I called your mom and said you where spending the night at my house. She knows where you are now. I can't see you keeping this from your mother until she dies. I think she'll notice when you don't age." I kidded but then quickly corrected myself with a stern cough.

"Die? Until she dies? I'm not going to get older?" He gave a stunned look. And then blinked a few times rapidly and waited for a reply.

"Yes die. Your going to see a lot of people you love die. That's another reason why you shouldn't go back. You have to see all your friends and family grow old and die while your forever young." I said in a voice a little louder than a whisper. Night just sat there for a while. Then he tilted his head back and you could see tears sliding down his face.

" So I'm going to be alive forever?" His voice cracked at forever.

"Technically its not alive but unless your killed. Which I doubt, then yes. At least for a really long time." I tried to make it not sound as gloomy as I think he was making out to be. But I think I already screwed that up.

"And how can I die?" He asked almost to quickly.

"For the sake that you're probably going to try to get someone to kill you I'm not going to tell you." I got up. "Lets get going. I don't feel like sitting here till sunrise. And I need sleep if where going back to Kenmore tomorrow."

"We are?" He got up and steadied himself.

"Yeah I guess we can work you out later. Your mom needs you Night I don't know what else to do."

We walked out the door and started to venture down the street.

"Okay, alright." He fell into step beside me. "Sam, who turned you?" He kept his eyes on the ground that was passing beneath us.

"Marry. I live with him. Its kind of ironic . . . "My voice trailed off.

"Why did he turn you?" He looked up this time.

" Because someone tried to kill me and well he pitied me. Kind of like you. " I started remembering when I was turned.

"So you did it out of pity then?" Night looked slightly hurt.

"No. You where only a few minutes away from death. You're the first person I have talked to in a while and you where easy to talk to. You where my friend and I didn't want to lose you. Iv always wanted someone to talk to. And your mom would have been crushed." I looked over at him at that point. He smiled. The first time really since I changed him. We entered Cafe Sangrea and walked up the stairs.

"The couch folds out. I'm also going to sleep out here with you." I started getting the couch set up and blankets and pillows.

"Why? You don't have to. Its alright." Matt said.

"Trust me its better this way. And then Marry wont whine when we get up early and leave." It was about 4:07. I spread the blanket over the sofa. He sat down and I sat next to him.

"I'm so totally not here right now. I'm just still thinking about the events leading up to this. What exactly do I do now that I am what I am?" He sat back and glanced up.

"Well, I'm not really that sure. You're my first." I took of my shoes and put my left foot under me.

"What do you mean by I'm your first?" He looked over at me.

"My first fledgling." I replied.

"And what is a fledgling?" He took off his shoes then noticed the amount of dried blood on his shirt and took it of as well.

"A fledgling is kind of like a kid. Well not really. I turned you. You're the first person I have turned so you are one of my line. And I am from Marry and Marry is Fala's. There are different lines as well. For example Silver. It's a history you will eventually learn." I scrunched my face remembering people trying to explain being a vampire to me. "Its hard. It's complicated. Somewhat pointless." I finished.

"Well if its not that important. May I ask you other questions?" He sat up ramrod straight.

"Go right ahead. It doesn't look like your going to sleep anytime soon." I gave my eyes a slight roll in a joking manor. And noticed Nights posture was only temporary and he slouched again.

"How old are you for real then?" He questioned.

"When I was changed I was 19. The age I am now is way over 100. Closer to 200 maybe. I tend to lose count. It loses its point." I was starting to drift in and out of reality with memories.

"This is kind of weird but kind of cool. I'm still in shock. But hey you and Marry seem really nice. And the people from that place." He slouched more.

"Nice? Are you kidding me Marry's an assassin." I jumped off the couch and started pacing.

"Whoa. Okay well the guy never did anything to hurt me." Night threw his hands up in mock surrender.

"Really he hasn't?" I shot him a knowing look. Then sat back down.

Authors Note: okay sorry iv been slacking on updating fan fiction. . I didn't think anyone read it anymore but I got a review today so here's chapter 6. I'm mostly done with 7. Iv been a wee bit depressed about Raine's being evil and deciding to do evil things with her EVIL story. But still I like her story. But it's evil. Moving on I started school so that means more chapters because I rather write in class than learn. This chapter is really rough I didn't get an editor for it yet and my grammar is atrocious. But I hope you all enjoy and REVIEW. I only update if I get a review. Point so proven this time. Hearts and Huggles!
