Sixteen Candles

Hehe, I like this chapter… Poor Lee… (Lee really doesn't get on well in my stories… he's been attacked, beaten up… hmm… what next…) And remember, Jo is deaf.

Sixteen Candles; Chapter II:

Lee walked to the fridge and threw it open. Jo wrinkled her nose as he pulled out a sealed cup of red liquid and placed it in the microwave.

/Who's is it// she asked as she idly channel hopped.

/It's cows. Closest I can get. / Lee ripped the packaging off and gulped it down, Jo cringing as it trickled down his chin. He wiped it off with a smirk. "Any sign of them?" he asked as Johnny and Suzy walked into the room.

"Nothing. It's like they're one step ahead of us!" Johnny flopped into a seat, keeping away from the blood.

"Dracula, Erik and Seth are very clever." Lee growled as Robert walked in, carrying a sheaf of papers.

"Think again." He said in his deep voice. "Kai and Brendon have been spotted." Amidst cries from his team, he switched off the television.

"Why is it always those two? They're like… the idiots of the flames!" Suzy sat down next to her brother.

"Don't worry; they'll be easy to dispose of. The only good vampire is a dead vampire." Suzy made a cut throat action, but it was too late.

"Is that what you think? That I should just lie down and let you put a stake through my heart?" Lee asked furiously. Without waiting for an answer, he stormed out.

"You were seen! Kai, I understand you're stupid, but Brendon! For God's sake! You and Gerard are tipped to take over!" Jay strode in front of the two wayward vampires.

"We were bored!" Brendon suddenly burst out. "You never let us do anything anymore!" Seth stepped forward.

"I'll discipline my son, Jay, but let Brendon off. It's his first offence, after all." She playfully hit his son on the head.

"Now…" Erik said calmly. "Pure vampire, what are the Infernos talking about?" All the vampires in the room leant in as Kai closed his eyes, holding a tiny phial of blood with a little red hair in it.

"They've… they've just found out about me and Brendon… and Robert's been an arse and told Lee he might as ell lie down and die." Seth smirked. A wave of confusion crossed over Kai's face and he opened his crimson eyes, holding a hand to his head. "It's gone…" he whispered, his brow creasing in pain. Gerard started forward and caught the bluenette as he fainted.

"Kai? KAI!"

"Lee? What are you doing?" Lee strode to the fridge and threw it open, pulling out two containers. "You can only have one drink a day; you know how difficult it is to get hold of!" Lee poured half of each liquid into a third cup. He thrust it at Suzy, before throwing the rest onto the fire.

"What? Lee? I… I don't drink blood… I'm not a vampire!" She stammered, quailing under his intense amber eyes.

"Drink it or I will kill you!" He snarled and pulled a hair form her messy braid. "I mean it!" Whimpering, Suzy lifted the glass to her lips with a trembling hand, wincing at the metallic taste. Lee was inches from her neck, and snapping.

"What are you doing?" Johnny yelled as he threw the hair on the fire. Suzy was crying by the time she had finished the cup. She set it down and wiped the blood from her mouth. Lee's firm features relented as he looked at her tearstained face. "What the hell was that?" Johnny demanded, wrapping an arm around his sister.

"Kai… is a pure vampire. He had Suzy's hair in a vial of his blood. I needed to counteract the power. He was watching us. That's how The Flames have been ahead of us. Snake and shark blood. Makes your mind unreadable." He tossed back his black hair and walked out.

Lol, I made Lee sound like a poof! Look out for the next instalment!
