F.A.: wow John, you complimented me. I'm flattered. Ok thank you to the people who reviewed and …here's the next chapter. Enjoy.

Chapter 4: Attack

John spent the morning reading up on vampires in a book he'd gotten from Beeman along time ago on his couch. He tried as hard as he could to ignore Cade. After waking up to find he'd been fondling Cade, it been a little awkward for him to speak to her. As he flipped from page to page impatiently, reading everything he could find on vampires, Cade sat and watched him or occasionally, when he turned to her, conveniently looked of the window watching the overcast sky until it was safe to look at him again. The silence was starting to bother her. For the first few hours she had been blasting Slipknot and Staind or any other band she wanted to hear at the moment but after those hours, she became annoyed by the silence again. So, out of complete boredom, she walked over to John, standing directly between his spread legs.

"Anything interesting?" Cade asked looking down at the page John was on. He looked up at her and immediately noticed that she was standing between his legs. It wasn't just where she was standing but that she was wearing a black tank top on underneath one of his shirts with pants that were way too big for her, and while on some women, it looked awkward, it seemed to make Cade's womanly curves more noticeable.

"A lot…actually." John said looking up and down Cade's body. She looked down nervously and plucked nervously at his over shirt.

"Urm when can we go pick up my clothes. No offence, but I'm not very comfortable in these clothes." Cade said, plucking at John's shirt again. He looked at the time and realized that it was about four o' clock. He'd been reading for almost four hours.

"Yeah sorry…I guess I didn't realize how long I'd been reading." John said, surprised that so much time had passed.

"It's okay, I had fun watching you read." Cade said, blushing and wishing immediately that she could take back what she had said. John looked at her with his bemused look and actually gave her a lopsided grin.

"Obviously you have no life." John said turning around to go to his room and get his trench coat.

"Hey stranger." John turned around and saw Chaz standing there with a small smile. He returned the smile and noticed there was at least three types of lipgloss on his face. He grabbed a paper towel and threw it at him.

"Wipe yourself off. You have women all over you." John said with his semi- grin. Chaz smiled as well and wiped his face off.

"Yeah, the girls at the club down the street love me." Chaz said as he tried to wipe his face off. Suddenly his grin became much more serious.

"I'm actually here for another reason." John noticed that Chaz had turned to Cade and was looking up and down her body

"Besides annoying me and making Cade into your eye candy, that is." John said with his eyebrows raised, and who could blame Chaz? Cade had this way of being sexy while wearing the plainest thing. Chaz chuckled again and nodded his head, making John realize again that Chaz in a way had grown up since his near-death and that he could no longer look at Chaz to be an inferior to him but now more as an equal.

"Well, yeah, there's that." Chaz said looking at Cade again who looked back at him with a small glare, the way one would to a mosquito.

"I'll cut it off, freeze it and rape you with it if you even think about." Cade said with an almost too happy look at the idea. John thought he'd die from laughing as Chaz went from being a few inches away from her to being as far away from her as physically possible. Cade started laughing as well.

"Don't worry. I wouldn't do that unless you'd grabbed my breasts or something. Besides, you're kind of cute." Cade said reassuringly to Chaz who straightened up and smiled at this. John's laughter stopped almost immediately.

"So what were you here for now?" John said quickly. Chaz looked at him and remembered his original quest.

"Oh yeah. Well I was hoping I could tag around with you like I used to." At this John wasn't totally surprised and almost welcomed it. He really missed having Chaz around.

"Well, that depends. What do you want in return?"

"Your soul. I'd also like it if you didn't keep everything from me as much. I don't want to know personal stuff, but it'd be nice if you told me more stuff."

"You were joking about the soul thing right?" John said with his eye brows raised. Chaz rolled his eyes annoyed with John's question.

"Yes, John. So can I tag along?" Chaz asked again. John gave him one of his partial smiles.

"Yeah, why not. Just don't get yourself killed again." Chaz' eyes light up suddenly.

"Wha-really? Seriously? You meant it?"

"Yeah. Don't hurt your self now." John added with a small smile as Chaz pounded his fist into the air happily. John turned to Cade and suddenly remembered her request.

"Urm…you wanted to go and get your clothes right?" Cade nodded her head, her cheeks still red from when John had suddenly turned to her.

"Yeah." John turned back to Chaz. "Are you sure you want to stick with me now?" Chaz nodded his head remembering when John had first found him. He'd been abandoned by his foster parents and was basically living on the streets.

"Let's go get her clothes then, I'll fill you in on everything."

Near Cade's appartment…

Cade led the two down to the block that she lived on with a small smile on her face. It was cloudy out as apposed to it being sunny, which Cade preferred. She'd always liked cloudy days because they made her feel as though she were seeing the world the way it really was-evil, dark and accepting of everything that was wrong in the world. She felt that when ever the sun was out, it made the world into a pretty place that it wasn't.

"So, Cade, you just came into your powers?" Chaz asked suddenly. Cade snapped around to face him.

"What? Oh…yeah." Cade answered uncomfortably. "Here it is." Cade said pointing out her apartment building and pulling out her key. She used her key to enter the Building and led them to the elevator. John nervously stepped into the elevator as if expecting that as soon as he stepped in, the elevator would collapse. When he noticed Chaz and Cade looking at him strangely he shrugged sheepishly.

"I've had a bad experiences with elevators." He explained. Cade pressed the floor number that she was on, which happened to be nine. They stepped out and Cade went to her door and pressed the key into the door, turning the key to the left until it clicked open. She stepped in and Chaz and John followed after her noticing her apartment was the type that was gothic and dark yet stylish.

"Could one of you lock the door for me? Thanks." Cade said as she went into her room to get her clothes and change. Chaz decided to be the one to lock the door while John put his cross gun on a table and followed after Cade. She'd taken off her shirts and John's pants when John entered the room. Both froze immediately when Chaz decided to join them.

"That's were you went, I was looking…" Chaz finally looked into the room and saw Cade who was still too frozen to cover herself. She was wearing a black removable strap bra and a matching pair of panties. Cade finally unfroze enough to cover herself just as John blushed and turned from the room. Chaz however, stayed behind.

"So what size are you?" At this, Cade picked up the nearest object to throw at him just as John came in and dragged Chaz from the room. Cade slammed the door after them, quickly put on her clothes and threw a few days worth of clothes into a bag before leaving the room, the blush still on her face.

"I'm ready." Cade said blushing further as she saw John again. He looked equally embarrassed and was about to say something it seemed, when the doorbell rang.

"Caden? It's me Mrs. Malecron." They all turned to the door and Cade walked up to the door with a slightly annoyed look on her face.

"It's my neighbor. She always has these weird card tricks." Cade said rolling her eyes. Chaz and John turned to each other confused.

"What, ya mean like a moon in a five pointed star (A/n: Random card thing)?" Chaz asked confused. Cade unlocked the door and turned to him, nodding her head.

"Yeah how'd you know?" Cade said as she opened the door. There stood the old woman whom Cade had known for years. She smiled at the woman and stood in John's way unintentionally so that he couldn't see who the woman was.

"Hi Mrs. Malecron. I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry." Cade said as she tried to walk past the woman. The woman grabbed Cade by her arm in a strong grip Cade didn't expect from a woman her age.

"No time for one card?" Mrs. Malecron said giving her a sweet smile. Cade couldn't resist. How long would one card game take?

"Alright..." Cade said as the old woman held up a card. Cade tried to look through it and suddenly, though she'd never been able to guess it before, she saw what the card was.

"A rabbit jumping through a hoop…" Cade said drifting off in her speech in surprise that she knew. Mrs. Malecron looked surprised too.

"Finally you got it right after all these years. One more now-"

"We have to go." John said sharply, briskly pushing past Cade and finally seeing the woman. Their eyes met and he could see the rotting flesh beneath her skin.

"Half breed…." John said, his voice showing his disgust and dislike.

"Exorcist." The old woman said growling demonically. John grabbed a bottle of holy water, threw it on the woman and started firing his gun at the old woman who shattered to pieces before Cades eyes.

"NO! What the fuck are you doing?" Cade shouted at John. He turned to her just as angrily.

"She's a half breed. She was going to kill you." Cade glared at him through her tears.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Cade said hysterically. Chaz grabbed her arms, dragged her over to a chair and put her in it.

"Look. John can see these things. You have to trust him. He hasn't done anything to hurt you yet has he?" Cade had to shake her head. It was true.

"Exactly." Chaz said trying to reassure her.

"Cade, how long has she been doing that card trick?" John asked her now that she'd calmed down.

"Five years or more. Why?"

"All that time, I think she's been trying to see whether or not you came into your powers. And the only reason why you were able to read the card was because you got you're powers." John said thinking deeply. He snapped him self out of his thoughts and turned back to them.

"We have to go now. There'll be more of them." John said walking out of the apartment and stepping on the pieces of the woman's ashes. Cade crossed herself before stepping over pieces after Chaz. They got down the stairs and to the door when John suddenly froze.

"You're not going to leave through this door."

The end….

F.A. Mwa ha ha ha ha! I'm leaving you with a cliffie. Sorry but I want to see how badly you guys want another chapter. Call it sadistic, call it evil, call it whatever just review.

John: Hurry up! I want to see if I kick this guy's ass!

F.A.: #sweatdrop# riiight…anyway, before I go, I want to say that for anyone who is sick in the head and thinks for a second that Chaz or John like each other 'like that' in this story, let me thoroughly discourage you. In my story they are just acquaintances, ok. So get your sick minds out of the gutter because they aren't like that in the movie and they sure as hell aren't like that in my story.

John: Yeah, I'd also like it if people stopped putting me with Chaz or Balthazar. I mean, come on, Chaz is bad enough but Balthazar? WTF is that?

F.A.: yeah...what he said…'kay please review. Arigato goziemas as the Japanese say without the butchered spellings when they say thank you. Sayonara
