The next night Amethyst woke with an excited smile. Dwayne, who was already awake, stroked her hair with a small smile. After a few silent minutes the rest of the boys came in, Marko and Paul with the boxes from the night before. David retrieved the bottle while Marko and Paul tackled Amethyst in a hug on the bed. She laughed and Jessie whined into the pillow, still sleepy.

"Sorry ta wake ya lil guy," Marko apologized.

"Happy birthday girl!" Paul cheered as he gave Amethyst a tight hug.

"Paul, I still need to breath!" She laughed as she playfully pushed him away. David stood by his chair with the bottle.

"Come on, come on, come on." Paul picked her up off the bed.

"I can walk, hang on." She laughed.

"We can't, we're too excited," Marko said.

"You're excited?" She giggled at their grins. Dwayne got up with Jessie and the two walked over. David took a swing of the bottle and closed his eyes. He opened them slowly before he held out the bottle with a smirk. Amethyst took it with two hands and grinned at it. She looked at everyone's face, and resisted the urge to laugh when she saw how confused - and cranky - Jessie looked, then closed her eyes and took a drink. All the boys cheered and Marko and Paul hugged her as she lowered the bottle. Jessie tugged on her shirt then pointed to the bottle. "No, you can't have any of this, not until you're older." He frowned but nodded.

"Presents!" Paul yelled as he and Marko got the boxes. Amethyst rolled her eyes as she handed the bottle back to David.

"Jess, go get the presents we made." Amethyst whispered to the boy. He nodded and ran to the bed to get the hidden box.

"No the birthday girl isn't supposed to give presents she's supposed to get them," Paul whined. Amethyst stuck her tongue out.

"Okay, you get yours first," Marko said as he held out the box. Amethyst rolled her eyes but nodded and opened it.

"You guys got me a dress?!" Amethyst squeaked in excitement with a big smile.

"And shoes." Paul held up the shoe box with a grin.

"You guys." Amethyst put the box on the bed and jumped Marko in a hug. He laughed and hugged her back.

"What about me?!" Paul whined. Amethyst laughed and hugged him too. He held on longer and tighter with a big smirk and kissed her cheek. "Go get changed."

"Right now? I have to hand out your presents."

"The little guy can do it, now go." Paul put a hand on the small of her back and pushed her towards the bed.

"Fine," she said with a chuckle and closed the thicker curtains she used when changing. Jessie, still holding the box, opened it box and walked up to Marko. He reached in the box and held up a small object to Marko.

"Wow, sweet." Marko took the small hand-sewn patch of a The Doors logo. Jessie reached into the box again and walked over to Paul before holding up a bracelet. It had a bunch of dark blue, green and black coloured beads.

"Ah, neat," Paul said as he put it on. Jessie grinned and walked over to Dwayne. He reached into the box and pulled out a necklace with a few beads, feathers and a few metal pieces bent into symbols. Dwayne smiled and patted the boys head. Amethyst pulled back the curtain and all heads turned to her. Paul wolf whistled and Marko clapped. The dress was black and ended a few inches above her knees, with half inch thick straps that went around her neck and crossed on her back.

"Looking good, Pidge," Marko complimented. Jessie walked over to Amethyst with the box.

"Did you hand them all out?" Amethyst asked him. Jessie bit his lip and looked down into the box. There was one gift left inside. "Go give it to him," she said as she put a comforting hand on his head. Jessie looked hesitant but nodded. He swallowed and walked over to David, slowly, with the box. Nervously, he looked up at David, who was sitting in his chair, and held out the box. David raised an eyebrow but leaned forward and reached into the box. He pulled out a small earring, similar to the Dwayne had in with a feather but, it had two feathers, one black and one white and a twisted wire. David looked at it a moment then looked at Jessie who gulped and looked down.

"Thanks Jessie," David said and gave the boy a small smile. Jessie looked a bit taken aback but smiled at David. Amethyst smiled at the two and David glanced at her. She looked at him with a silent 'thank you'. Jessie went back over to Amethyst, after putting the box on the bed, and hugged her around her upper legs. She put her hand on his head gently. "Amethyst," David started. She looked at him. "You have to... eat. He has to stay here." Amethyst nodded and looked at Dwayne.

"Could you...?"

"I'll stay here with him," Dwayne told her with a nod. Amethyst smiled.

"Thanks, could you give him another writing lesson?" Dwayne smiled and nodded again. "You're the best." Amethyst looked to Jessie who was looking up at her curiously. "I won't be gone long, be a good boy okay?" Jessie nodded and ran up to Dwayne who picked him up.


The four left the cave and rode to the beach, Amethyst riding with David. They all parked the bikes and walked along the beach until they found a small bonfire party far enough away from anyone else.

"Take your pick," David whispered into Amethyst's ear.

"Him," she said pointing to one of the guys who was drinking and dancing around.

"Ladies first," David said before gently biting her ear. A low, hungry, growl emitted from Amethyst's throat and the guys smirked. They blinked and she was already at the bonfire attacking her prey, her new instincts taking full control. The boys 'whooped' and followed after her.


Once the four had their fill the guys looked at Amethyst. She had blood splatter all over her new dress and was licking her fingers clean with half-lidded eyes.

"Man that's hot," Paul breathed with a smirk. David walked over to her and kissed her. He pulled away and looked down at her with a smirk. She smiled sheepishly and looked down at her dress.

"Got a little carried away I guess." She chuckled. "I ruined the dress."

"Nonsense," David said. "It'll come off, just don't let it set."

"I'd better wash off then."

"We'll be by the bikes," Marko told them. The three left and Amethyst was left to wash off in the water. Once she was done Marko came back to find her soaked in the dress. "You should dry off." He chuckled.

"How?"

"I've always found flying a good way to dry off."

"I almost forgot I can fly now."

"Want a quick lesson?" Marko asked with his signature smile.

"Yes please." Marko took her hand.

"Close your eyes." She did and a moment later she felt her feet leave the sand. "Open them." She slowly opened her eyes and gasped before clinging to Marko, who laughed, when she saw they were already 40 feet in the air. "It's alright, you won't fall; I won't let you." She looked at him and nodded. "You'll get the hang of it."


After a few minutes Amethyst did get the hang of flying and, with Marko's help, her dress was dry and blood free. They went back to Paul and David, who were having a small conversation, and got on the bikes. Amethyst got on the back of David's bike. She took his cigarette, that was behind his ear, and took a long drag.

"You can't tell me that I can't now," she said when he looked back at her.

"I won't but you're gunna have to pitch in to get more."

"No problem," she said before she took another drag then put it back behind his ear and wrapped her arms around his waist.


When they got back to the cave Jessie and Dwayne were on the couch and Jessie was in the middle of writing something but stopped when he saw Amethyst. He ran over and hugged her. She picked him up and walked back over to the couch. She sat down and Dwayne leaned over and pecked Amethyst on the lips.

"Happy birthday." Amethyst looked surprised but Jessie grinned but at them.

...

Dwayne, Jessie and Amethyst were still on the couch later that night, although Jessie was nodding off. Paul and Marko were fooling around by the fountain and David was in his chair.

"Hey a thought just occurred to me," Amethyst started, quietly to not disturb Jessie.

"What's that Pidge?"

"Can vampires have sex?" All the guys stopped what they were doing and stared at her. "What? It's a legitimate question."

"What makes you think we can't?" Paul asked as he leaned on the back of the couch by her.

"I was just curious." Amethyst shrugged.

"Sure," Paul teased with a quiet laugh. Amethyst stuck her tongue out at him. "Careful," he warned playfully before he leaned down and kissed her cheek.

"To answer your question more intelligently," Marko started. "We still have blood in our veins so we can have sex but females can't have kids."

"Fine with me," Amethyst said with a shrug. "I already have an angel," she said stroking Jessie hair as he slept in her lap.

"Kid has the best mom," Paul said.

"And brothers," Amethyst said looking back at him.

"I think it's time for bed," Marko said as he watched Jessie with a smile.

"I don't want move him, he's so peaceful," Amethyst said looking down at him.

"I'm sure he won't wake up," Dwayne said.

"He wakes up I'm blaming you," she said before she got a better hold on Jessie and stood up. The boy stirred slightly but didn't wake. Amethyst walked over to the bed and put the boy down before tucking him in. She looked over at Dwayne as he stood up.

"Hey the kid's asleep," Paul pointed out. "There's no reason for you to sleep with her." Dwayne rolled his eyes.

"Paul, Jessie would be upset if he woke up and Dwayne wasn't there," Amethyst explained.

"Yeah but-" He stopped when he saw the look Amethyst was giving him. "Fine, but you still owe me a night." Amethyst nodded.

"Alright." Dwayne walked over to the bed as the other boys left to go into the deeper cave. Amethyst went over to where she kept her clothes and pulled out some sleeping clothes. She turned around and Dwayne was already facing the other way. She quickly changed and neatly folded her dress. "Kay," she said quietly and Dwayne turned back around. The two got into the bed but instead of them being on either side of Jessie, Amethyst was next to Jessie and Dwayne was behind her. Dwayne put an arm around her and held her close. Amethyst's cheeks felt a bit warmer but only because she still had fresh blood in her system. She hugged his arm to her chest and closed her eyes letting sleep take over.
