TWO CHAPTERS IN A DAY. I'm bad a pacing myself. Don't most people put a chapter on a schedule? I was way too happy to not write this today. I NEEDED this to be written today and it's also the longest chapter I have on this story now with 2,320 words! Also I don't see Dwyane as the romantic type or the type to be all over the others so I hope I got his personality down. Anyway, enjoy!

My head was throbbing and my eyes were burning as I lay there on a bed. The room was different than before. "What the hell?" I asked groggily as I tried to sit up. I rubbed my eyes and looked around, I was the in cave. Being in the cave meant the boys were here, that means..."Hey she's up!" A voice shouted and before I knew it I saw a flash of black hair fly in front of me. Dwayne sat there with worry in his eyes. "How are you feeling?" He asked with concern in his voice. I back away from him slightly and I saw a flash of hurt in his eyes for a moment. My eyes still hurt as I saw the other boys standing by the bed that had different types of fabric thrown over it making it look like a canopy bed. "I...I need leave." I said trying to stand up but somehow ended up over the ground. Yes, over the ground, as in my feet were not on the ground, they were in the air. "What the hell!" I shouted as I heard someone laugh, probably Paul, but then I heard a smack and the laughing stopped. "Just calm down." I heard David say. "Calm down? Calm down?!" I shouted. "You expect me to calm down?! Look at what you've done to me!" I moved closer to the ground each second until eventually my feet hit the earth.

"Technically it was Max's fault. He wanted you as a daughter and made us do this. Besides, you couldn't just leave your mate hanging could you?" David asked. "Max told you to do this? Why would he do that?! Wait...mate?" David nodded, "Max wanted a daughter and said you were a perfect fit. And yes. mate. As in life long soul mate." He motioned over to Dwayne who was still sat on the bed. "So you just do what he says?" I asked, rubbing my eyes, they weren't this bad before. "Look it's not that easy to just disobey him. That blood you drank was his, he's the head vampire. He has the power to control us, he doesn't use it too often, but when he really wants something or in this case, someone, we can't just refuse to do it. We all share the blood, Max's blood is in our veins." This is all too much to take it. I sit back down on the bed and place my hands over my eyes. Aren't I only half vampire? "There's got to be a way..." I mutter. "I'm only a half vampire, there's got to be a way to reverse it, right?" Paul scratched the back of his head, "About that," He started. "You took a pretty bad fall yesterday. You were kind of loosing a lot of blood so we had to fix it." I stood up quickly. "What are you saying." I demanded, narrowing my eyes. "We have to save you so we sort of, kind of, just had to feed you blood of the remaining people at that party." My eyes widened. "Lucky for you, Paul didn't eat them all so we had just enough to save you." Marco added, trying to humor the situation.

I stormed out of the cave as quick as I could. David had told me to stop but I didn't listen, I had to talk to Max. I didn't hear any of them following me, also I learned that being a vampire gave better hearing and seeing. Which was great being I had no idea how to get to Max's house, but I tried to remember the way they came when they brought me to the cave. Luckily all I had to do was go straight, being able to hear cars as they passed was very helpful plus my mad skills of directions, but mainly the hearing. I had to go quicker than this, I looked up into the sky and noticed it was a darker shade of blue than before. I don't want to miss the night. I broke out into a run which was much faster than I thought it would be. What was originally a thirty minute run turned into a five minute one with the speed I had acquired. Damn vampires and their cool abilities.

I knew where Max kept the key to his house and he shouldn't be up yet so I decided just to place a surprise visit. I looked over the door where the door frame meets the wall and grabbed the key. After unlocking the door I went to sit on the couch in the living room. What am I supposed to say to him? "Hey you got my life taken away. Thanks." Well to be fair, what life did I have? I would have been doing this even without him being a vampire. Well except the killing, but c'mon, it's not right. I mean who can bla-. I heard a door upstairs open and a few seconds later Max descended, fixing his shirt collar. He noticed me and took a step back. "Oh hello Cheyenne. This is a surprise." I just stared at him. "I can tell you've learned about what you are now." I kept staring. I had no idea what to say. "Look I know you're upset, but look at it this way. You'll never die. You'll never grow old." That sounded familiar.

"Climb the tree." David demanded as he and Paul went. Against all better judgement I had, I had climbed the stupid tree. I watch the four boys head over to a group of partiers that stood around a bonfire and most of them seemed intoxicated. They and the boys exchanged some words before they attacked. Screams ripped through the air, blood was sprayed everywhere, the partiers we running but were stopped by...monsters. I freaked out and my grip from the tree was released causing me to fall backwards out of the tree and hit my head on a root that was making its way above the ground..

Smart move was all I could think before four faces were looking at me from above. I could barely recognize them, golden eyes, different facial features, and fangs. "Now you know what we are. And now you know what you are. You'll never grow old. And you'll never die. But you must feed." Was the last thing I heard before my vision blurred out.

I shook that memory out of my head. "You took my life away." I said, with almost no expression. He sighed and walked closer. "Look, this is what would have happened even if you weren't turned. Though I was expecting to have some time for you as a half breed so you could get use to everything, but I'm sure there was a reason you were turned this early. Now you can be there for Dwayne. I don't know if you've noticed by now, he doesn't seem to talk much, but his thoughts are everywhere. And before you ask, I can read your thoughts, it's a hassle sometimes, but he thinks about you a lot. Last night he was a mess after everyone left him alone. He blamed himself. Now you have two reasons to be a vampire. You can stay with us forever."

I took a deep breath and nodded. "I guess I can't change much now, can I? Might as well enjoy it..." Max smiled brightly and took me into a hug. "You might want to head back to the boys. They might want to know you're okay. They don't exactly think the best of me..." I nodded once more and headed out the door with Max in tow. He locked his house and got into his car, waving goodbye to me and I returned the gesture. During the walk back my wandered back to Dwayne. He was a mess over me? He felt bad about what happened? And here I thought vampires never had feelings. Mates. I smiled at the thought. My throat started to burn so I hiked up the speed I was walking and eventually found Hudson's Bluff, just had to follow the sounds of waves crashing this time.

I looked over the cliff and watched the waves roll and crash over and over again. I watched it for a few minutes and smiled before making my way down the stairs. Or trying to at least. I stepped onto the fourth step and immediately removed my foot as I saw it shake and fall off the staircase. I gasps and quickly made my steps lighter, trying not to die today was my goal. The boys were talking as I walked in. It seemed important so I didn't interrupt and stood outside.

"Dwayne, calm down. She'll get over it, it's shock or something." I heard Paul say. "Yeah, it's not exactly easy to hear that you've become a vampire. Marco was a mess at the time too." I heard Marco yell "Hey!" and laughed. "Well, well, well, looks like she came back around after all." David said aware that I was around the corner. "Looks like I'll have to work on my hiding skills." I stated, walking to the cave seeing David sitting down in the, of course, wheelchair, Marco was again petting a bird in the corner, Paul was dancing and singing off tune to some song on the radio, and Dwayne was standing there but immediately came over to me and put my face in his hands. "I'm fine." I said to him, watching his relax slightly. "What's the plan tonight?" I asked as Dwayne removed his hands and put an arm around me. "Boardwalk baby!" Paul exclaimed, jumping off of the fountain. "The usual. Scope out people, find tonight's meal." David said, standing up and walking towards the entrance. We followed in tow, I was careful about the stairs, still slightly on edge about stair number four, or what was stair number four. No one mentioned anything about it.

The drive to the boardwalk wasn't worth mentioning. It was a ride to a boardwalk, case and point. Music blared through the area because of a concert that was nearby. Dwayne took my hand as we followed the David, with Paul jumping around to the music, Marco laughing at Paul and nodded his head to it behind us. "This is so serious music I could rock to!" Paul exclaimed, playing the air guitar. I smiled and shook my head at the crazy blonde. David was looking around at the people who moved out of the way for him and the rest of us. The music got louder as we neared the concert area. Some band was up playing some rock and roll tribute music to god know who, they were pretty decent actually. Paul and Marco seemed to be enjoying themselves. The four boys attracted a lot of female attention mostly from this one group of girls that were trying to get their attention and I gave a small smile to one of the girls that looked at Dwayne with lust in her eyes. Her face became embarrassed as I motioned towards our entwined hands and I won't lie, a small growl did come out of my throat. Whoops, jealous type. Dwayne had a small smug smile about the ordeal and I elbowed him in the side gently and he chuckled. I guess the girls had boyfriends because sure enough a few guys went up to them and put their arm around them and the girls attention went back to their companions. I hope we meet them again.

The concert lasted another thirty minutes and some other band went up on stage, but they're genre wasn't out thing so we left. "Feeding time." David said as the three other boys smirked at each other. I sighed, I don't know if I could do it. My throat burned like hell, but I don't know if I can take someone's life like that. I hold the power of life and death, that's way too much power. The parking lot was barren as it was a bit too late for anyone to stick around for a week night, but there was a one group of people. As we gained on them I noticed the boys from the concert and soon enough there were the girls as well. A smirk made its way onto my face as my the burning in my throat grew. I had to, I have to do this. I scoped for the girl who was looking at Dwayne and sure enough she was there, making out with some guy on top of the truck. "Hey! You're the guys from the concert." One girl said, throwing her brown hair off of her shoulder. "We were gonna ask if you wanted to come to this party on the beach with us." "Or we could have that party now?" Paul and Marco both said, shrugging. "Well, I mean, that could work." The girl replied, putting her hand on David's chest. "Why not?" David said while grabbing the girl and all hell broke loose.

I was looking for the girl from before and found her running. "Trying to get away are you?" I asked in a mocking tone. She cowered, "Please don't do this!" She shouted. I made it look like I was thinking. "Hm, well it's too late for that." And I grabbed her by the shoulder and felt fangs poke out of my mouth, they immediately sunk into the crying girls neck. I sucked her dry and threw her body down onto the ground. I noticed the rest of the boys watching me and I picked the limp body up and walked over to them. "Now what?" I questioned as Paul and Marco cheered, David smirk and Dwayne kissed me on the temple with a smile of his own.
