Three
When they finally got home they sighed. Carlos was thirsty and looked out the back. "I'm thirsty."
"Yeah I know me too. We need to go hunting." The teen nodded. Carlos slipped outside and waited. Logan always watched out for his friend. Carlos was rather new to this although he was one hundred years old. Logan was older about three hundred if he remembered right. Now separated from their society the young vampire relied on him more than ever. When Logan joined him, he grinned then shot off. Logan rolled his eyes as he flew into the sky catching up. "Not fair!" Carlos said laughing. A wind gusted, and he used it to lift him up off the ground and beside Logan. Soon though Carlos let Logan take the lead and followed as they scouted. Soon Logan descended, and Carlos followed. Mountains soon came into their line of sight and Carlos sniffed the air. They touched down and started running. The blood was strong almost driving him crazy. "Stop!" Carlos froze at Logan's command. "That's a human. Stop Carlitos." The young vamp bit his lip. The blood…oh how it drew him on. By now though Logan was pulling him back. He at first stood yanking forward. The teen swore and used the light to pull his friend back. Once he could he grabbed his arm.
James sighed thinking about the new students. He couldn't seem to get them out of his mind. He had decided to go for a walk toward the low mountains and had just reached a ridge when he heard a growl. He froze suddenly blood chilling. Then he heard a voice "Stop!" was someone out there?
"W…Who's out there?" his voice was shaking, and he wished it would stop.
Logan heard James's voice. That must be why. He's crazy because it's a sent he knows. "Carlos stop! It's James!" The vamp blinked, and he nodded hearing Logan's words. That didn't stem his blood lust, but he got it under control and nodded.
James heard the last sentence. "Stop it's James!" He stepped toward the voices. He knew that voice. It was Logan.
"Logan?"
Logan's blood ran cold too. He knew that James could come down and see Carlos fangs extended. He had to do something. He reached out conjuring the light. He made a hologram of himself and put it several feet away from the boy.
James glanced at the teen standing there. Why was he glowing? Hadn't he seen him? "James I'm fine Carlos and I were just…photographing and Carlos accidentally startled this robin. I was trying not to let him chase after it."
" you said stop it's James." Fuck could he really hear that?
"Yeah it was going to spook in your direction."
"Oh, that makes sense." He said nodding. "Logan why are you glowing?" Dammit of course he would ask.
"Oh…oops I forgot to turn off that damn lantern." James grinned.
"Ha yeah."
"Well…we should be going looks like there aren't any birds anymore…see you."
"Yeah see you." The illusion began walking away, but as James watched it disappeared.
Logan yanked Carlos free and grabbed his hand. They began running tearing through the trees. He knew James hadn't bought any of those stories and they were leaving now. They flew back down the mountin and through the trees. The two finally collapsed on the porch breathing hard. They weren't tired, but fear had gripped Logan hard with it's icy tendrils and Carlos was out right terrified of what he had almost done.
"Oh god maybe mom was right! I'm…I'm a monster!"
"Shut up you are not! You need to gain control of your blood lust otherwise you'll never make it."
"I…I could have been tearing into him." Tears slipped down his cheeks.
"But you didn't."
"Because of you! Don't you see it was all because of you! Your better out here and I'm not!" he drew away.
"Oh, Litos that's not true."
"It is and don't deny it!" He got up and went inside. Logan sighed then followed.
"Come on let's go to the blood bank."
"No! I'm not going!"
"Dammit come on Carlos you can't starve yourself. Don't you know You did great at school? You didn't go tearing into their necks or anything did you?"
"That's only because you were there."
"You don't give yourself enough confidence. Come on I'll show you tomorrow let's go to the bank okay?" The teen nodded and followed the older boy.
A/N so there you go. Is Logan, right? Can Carlos keep control of his hunger? Is it because Carlos knows James's scent or is it more Lolol. Read to find out
