A/N: Ok thanks for all the reviews, and I'm so glad all of you are enjoying this story, it's going to go very far but I'm sure you all won't mind. Anyway first to clear up a little mess, star isn't yet a vampire, she's only 16 and not yet old enough for Louie to turn her, so she will remain with him till she is. And Lestat isn't really in love with Helga, he is just likes to start trouble and likes to scare as many people as he can. He bit Helga because he had the power to put her in that trance and turn her. Alex doesn't have that ability he just has to rely on the trust and bond he has with the person. And Helga is not yet a vampire, if any of you have seen Interview with a Vampire she'd have to be near death and she'd have to feed from Lestat to be turned. Ok in other words a vampire has to drain you till your almost about to die then he'll cut his wrist and you will feed from him, your getting your own blood back that has been filtered with the dark gift and then your body dies and you turn into a vampire. That my friend is the whole process. But Lestat has weakened Helga very much. And yes Alex is fuming, but who wouldn't. J
~Arnolds room~
"If nobody wants to help me find Helga, I'll do it myself." With that Arnold packed some food and clothes in a carry bag and set out to look for Helga. Arnold looks up at the sky and whispers to himself, "Don't worry Helga, I'll find you where ever you are, I promise." Arnold walked night and day, following the road that he last saw Helga drive on.
~Gerald's room~
Gerald sits on his bed and finishes up his math homework and throws it to the floor and lies back on his pillow. "I can't believe Arnold said that to me, but I can't really blame him because he's right. Him and me have been friends since preschool and I'm about to end our friendship because of Helga. Now that is pretty bad of me. I think tomorrow I'll apologize to him in the morning on the bus stop." With that Gerald went to sleep.
~Alex's house
Lestat looks up from the floor and shoots up towards Alex. "How dare you fight me Lestat! And what were you thinking with Helga! Huh? WHAT!" "You don't have her heart and you don't have her mind! I won both of them cause I have the power and you don't! Besides she doesn't want you for a companion, she wants me!" With that the to vampires were at it again. Louie was down stairs with star when he heard the screams of Helga and heard the banging of Lestat and Alex fighting. He flew up the stairs see what was happening. He opened the door to reveal his makers and companions at each other's necks. He then saw Helga in the corner rocking back and forth with a bloody neck. He knew she was very weak and didn't have much time so he flew above Lestat and Alex and grabbed Helga and jumped out of the window. Louie took her into his room and laid him carefully on his bed. He called for Star to come and take care of her while he went upstairs to break up the fight.
Once up stairs Louie screamed to the top of his lungs, "STOP!!!" Both vampires stopped dead in their tracks. "What in the world are you to doing? What can you possibly be trying to prove? And who bit Helga? Wait let me guess you Lestat right? You know the law, and you broke it she is to young, you knew that and yet the brat in you had to go once again and break the law!" "Louie my boy I was merely doing Alex a favor, he had no real chance to turn her and I do so I was helping him and look how he goes and repays me." Lestat looked at Alex who was about to burst. "She was my companion! Not yours! And what makes you think I couldn't turn her? I wanted her to be ready to accept the gift first, not put her under a trance and take her life from her, not like you did with Louie." Louie looks away. "Ah your both mad vampires you know that. I'm weary of you both; I hope you can live without me cause I'm leaving! Your both stupid fools and never mind, Good bye." With that Lestat took to flight out the window. "I'm sorry Alex, but Lestat has taken to much and you know what's going to happen, don't you." Alex looks at the ground. "Yes I do, she'll either die or she has to become one of us." "She's in my room if you want to go and see her." "Thank you Louie, I will go to her now."
~Louie's room~
Alex walks over to Louie's bed where he finds Helga fighting for her life. "I'm so sorry Helga, I didn't want it to end this way, I wanted you to want this gift, not me give it to you against your will." Alex begins to cry. Helga opens her eyes and looks at Alex crying on the bedside. "Alex…Ale…" Helga says weakly. Alex looks up and holds her in his arms. "Yes Helga what is it? What do you want, what can I give you?" "Can I see Arnold one last time? And I was going to stay with you Alex, I knew that you cared about me because I was me and that you wanted to help me and I'm glad that I've spent my last few days with you, you who took care of me, you who loved me…" Alex cried even harder at this point. Louie stood in the doorway with Star. She cried in Louie's arms. Alex turned around and said, "Louie go find Arnold."
A/N: OMG!! What's going to happen to Helga is she going to die or will some kind of miracle happens? Will Louie find Arnold in time? And do you think Lestat might do something to Arnold just in spite of the recent events? Hah another cliffhanger. Don't ya just love me?
