Chapter 4

Disclaimer:

Jerry: I don't want to here the arguing so I'll do the disclaimer

Me: Uh, thanks Jerry.

Jerry: No problem. She doesn't own us or the show.

Me: That was nice and quick. On with the story.

"I was owned by Jack's family. I was just 7 years old when they took me." April started and got interrupted.

"Why so young?" Kim asked.

"They needed more slaves in the house to clean up. They didn't care what age because it was just cleaning. Something anybody could do; no matter what age. Jack's father took me when I was picking flowers for my mom. I tried to run away but it was too late to run." April said.

"So Jack was technically your master?" Kim asked.

"Yeah. Everyone that lived there was my master actually. Anyway I didn't meet Jack until I was 10. One day he randomly called me up to his room."

"Was that scary, going up to one of your masters' room."

"Well, yeah the only time I got called up stairs was to clean; older slaves go to masters' room for cleaning. But the thing is he called me up there to play with him and his toy car." April said and Kim gave April a confused look. "I know right. The first time I meant him he was just talking about school, his friends, and how much he loved to play outside. I was just there to listen."

"How old was he?"

"Oh, he was my age 10. He was really lonely for a 10 year old though. He needed someone to talk to and I was there"

"Why was he lonely?"

"He didn't talk to his friends a lot because the only time he was allowed to go outside was during school and walking home from school. He didn't really have time to talk. He couldn't open up to his parents because they were too busy with spending money and working. It was like his parents didn't care about him one bit. Up until they noticed I was gone every afternoon after Jack came home."

"Um; how many years did these little meetings with Jack last?" Kim asked interrupting

"We stopped the meetings when we were 17."

"7 years!" Kim exclaimed and April nodded

"Anyway back to Jack's parents. For the first 6 years of the meetings, his parents thought I was cleaning his room. But one day Jack's mom came into the room while I was talking to Jack." April said and looked down trying to remember the bad memory. "She was furious. I wasn't cleaning; just talking. I stood up and said 'I'll take my beating downstairs.' I remember looking down and whispering to her 'not in front of Jack.' But she smirked and slapped me anyway; I fell, holding my cheek." April said sadly.

"Wait that was when you were 16. I thought the meetings lasted until you were 17." Kim interrupted

"Yeah, the last year Jack snuck me out the dungeon."

"Ok now continue please."

"Oh. After the hit I looked up at Jack. His eyes turned red quickly and then back to hazel. It was the first time I saw that, so I assumed the hit made me see things."

"So Jack was a vampire back then too and he turned you. He stopped aging at 16." Kim said and April nodded. "How'd he get so close to you neck. I mean he obviously didn't use force because he liked you."

"Um…let's just say our first kiss lead to something more. And after we had…you know…he exposed his fangs." April got interrupted again

"What did you do?!"

"Kim!" April exclaimed annoyed

"Sorry, won't do it again."

"Ok. As I was saying he exposed his fangs. He actually asked if he could change me. I said yes." April said and Kim opened her mouth but April explained herself. "I said yes because I was in love with the guy. I thought that if he bit me then we'd be together forever."

"So you did it for love. I'm sorry April but that sound like you. You barely open up to anybody, really just me. So turning into a vampire for love is kind of a stretch for you."

"Kim you have to understand that I was a helpless slave back than. I've changed through out the years."

"Right. Two more questions. Do you know how he killed your human body and why do you hate him now?"

"Yes, he killed my human body by snapping my neck." When April said that; Kim started to rub her neck. "He let me feed off of innocent people. So many…"

~FLASHBACK (April's POV) ~

I woke up with a pain in my neck. I looked around the room I was in; it was Jack's. Then it all came back to me; I just gave myself to Jack. I couldn't help but smile then I remembered the second half. Jack's a vampire and I let him bite me, now I'm a vampire. Suddenly hunger hit me I sat up straight ignoring the pain in my neck.

But then my senses hit me. They were a lot stronger now, I heard everything around me and it hurt my ears so bad. The owl outside was wooing. It sounded so loud in my ears. I wrapped the sheets around myself and looked out the window to see if it was there, but it wasn't; it was miles away.

My new and sharpened eyes allowed me to see it. I knelt down and covered my ears with my hands because it unbearable. But through all the stupid wooing I heard footsteps coming toward the door. My sense of smell kicked in and all I could smell was blood. The hunger came back.

The door opened and I was about to attack but I controlled myself. I looked up to see who it was. It was my beloved Jack. I got up. Jack smiled at me.

"I know your senses are kicking in and I know it hurts but it only last a little while." Jack must have whispered because it sounded like he was talking normal. I knew I didn't get use it yet because the owl was still loud in my ear. The hunger suddenly grew and my fangs came out.

"Ow!" I exclaimed touching one fang.

"You'll get use to it don't worry." Jack reassured me.

"Jack, I'm really hungry."

"Ok, change and we'll go get someo- I mean something to eat."

I ignored his little mess up with words like an idiot and did as he said. When I was done changing Jack took me to the village. The cool breeze hit my skin with the full moon out. So this time instead of the owl wooing I heard howls. But I didn't focus on the creature near by; the smell of blood was way too strong.

"I'm hungry." I repeated

"Go ahead. It night and everybody is asleep; the perfect buffet for a vampire."Jack said smiling

"No, they're innocent people. They don't deserve being murdered in their sleep." I said

"What, do you want them awake?" Jack said smirking. "Plus, you didn't think about the pathetic humans when I changed you."

"Would you shut up! There has to be another way." I said as a started to pace back and forth. But I realized my pacing is noticeably faster than usual.

"Um you know you're using your vampire speed to pace right now." Jack said.

I stopped pacing and looked up at Jack. He looked up like he was getting ready to laugh. I just ignored him.

"Can't I just feed on animal blood." I suggested

"No, only one vampire could do that. Vampire generations after him have to drink human blood or they die." Jack explained.

"Can I turn people into vampires?" I asked.

I was amazed I was still able to talk because the hungry was getting stronger and harder to control right now.

"Sorry but nope. As soon as you taste blood for the first time you won't be able to stop and kill the person. You'd just suck the person dry." Jack said smirking evilly.

Well, he changed quickly. Just an hour ago he was the sweetest guy ever; he wouldn't hurt a soul. But really he's evil and looked like he'd do anything to see people hurt.

"Please, don't let me do this. Chain me to the dungeon wall, trap me in a cell, do anything to stop me." I pleaded not wanting to hurt anyone. He'd do this for me right? If he really cared then he'd stop me.

"I can't do that. If a newborn doesn't eat the first few nights then it will die. So I'm not stopping you."

The hunger started to take over. My eyes started to feel weird and itchy. I'm going to take a wild guess and say my eyes were turning red out of hunger.

"You look beautiful with red eyes." Jack said with a twisted smile.

"Drink you're hungry. Drink all the pathetic humans." A thought traveled through my mind. It was the hunger talking. My eyes must have widened a little because Jack's twisted smile grew.

"The hunger is talking to you isn't it. Just give in." Jack tried to persuade.

I wanted to shake my head no but it was like my body wasn't responding to my brain. Then it happened; I lost all my senses and control of my body. My body gave up and gave in. Yet my mind didn't. I could still think straight.

Before I knew it I was in a cottage. I went to one of the bedrooms. I saw two beds on each side of the room. There were kids sleeping so peacefully. There was a girl on the right side and a boy on the left. I would guess they're the same age; 11.

"Please don't." I thought.

But the hunger didn't listen. I stalked over to the girl and gently pulled back her hair, exposing her neck. I quickly bent down and sunk my fangs into her neck. She woke up but she didn't scream. Instead she gasped and died seconds later. Jack was right I can't control it I sucked her dry. I did the same to the boy.

Then I went to the next room. I saw their parents but in the mom's arms she held a newborn baby. I did the same thing I did to the kids to their parent. But when I got to the baby something happened.

"Please don't please I'm begging." I pleaded in my thoughts.

I leaned in anyway but then the baby started yawn. He had woken up. He looked up at me and smiled. The hunger stopped itself. The baby reached up and touched my cheek, he started to laugh. I suddenly stood up straight and walked out the door. I looked over my shoulder to see the baby looking at his mom sadly. I stepped out the cottage but I was still hungry. I went house to house. I ended up killing 6 families.

At last house I felt the itchy sensation in my eyes. I guess my eye turned hazel again. I was on my knees staring at the three dead bodies. Then I looked at my hands; they were blood stained. My hands started trembling and I felt blood dripping down my chin. I realized I'm getting my senses back. My fangs were dripping blood so I dismissed them. I looked down at my dress. It was covered in other people's blood.

I started to shake uncontrollably.

"Why am I so stupid?" I whispered to myself through my shaky voice.

Then I sensed Jack behind me. I got up and turned around. As soon as I saw him my blood boiled with anger. He was covered in blood too but not human blood. And he had that twisted smile again.

"Are you full now?" Jack asked

"Whose blood is that?" I asked ignoring his stupid question.

"Oh werewolves were trying to attack so I had to do something about it." He answered with a devilish smirk.

But under all the werewolf blood I smelt human blood. That blood smelt like the first family I went to.

"Nobody survived…just the baby. No he wouldn't…he didn't." I tried to reassure myself but with this new Jack it wouldn't be surprising.

"Whose blood is that?" I repeated myself. I need to hear him say it.

"I told you." He lied to me. I clasped my fists at my sides.

"Tell me all of the truth. Whose blood is under the werewolves'?" I said though my gritted teeth.

"Wow you got a good nose. That must be your special power."

"Stop trying to change the subject and answer me."

"Ok I'll tell you but you're not going to like it." Jack said shrugging. I stayed silent waiting for an answer. Then he spoke. "I killed that baby you left behind for a little snack."

"You bastard! That was the only person I saved in all of this and you killed him!" I shouted in pure anger. He shrugged again. He didn't care one bit.

I slapped him across the face with all my strength. But I forgot my strength is enhance so Jack went flying to a wall. He hit his head and his body fell to the ground. I didn't mean to do that. I rushed over to his. I pulled him up by his arms so he was in a sitting against the wall. I stroke the cheek I hit. It had a fresh bruise on it.

"I'm sorry." I whispered still stroking his cheek.

Jack's hand moved quickly grabbing my wrist and the other around my neck. I opened his eyes, they were red. He gritted has teeth and his face had hardened in anger. He got up without letting go of me. It was getting harder for me to breath. I tried to pry his hand off but his grip just tightened.

"You probably shouldn't have done that slave." Jack said low and dark.

He threw me out the door. I landed on the ground outside the cottage. I got up as quick as possible. I looked around Jack wasn't there. No he's here I could smell him.

"Jack I'm sorry I don't know my own strength. I didn't mean to do that." I shouted out still looking around.

"I understand that but the fact that you slapped me makes you an idiot." Jack said from the shadows.

"You just slapped your master, slave." Jack said but from behind me. I turned around and he was right there, centimeters away.

"I don't know what came over me."

"Newborns do what they've been thinking about doing. So you wanted to slap. And you did. How long have you been thinking about hurting me?" Jack put his hand on my shoulders.

"I-I wasn't planning on hurting you. There was never a thought in my mind to hurt you. I was just angry."

Jack smirks a little but that vanished. "Right." He said sarcastically.

Suddenly Jack's grip on my shoulders tightened. I swear my bones would break. I shirked in pain. I quickly kneed him as a reflex. He went flying to a tree but he got up.

"You know I hate newborns. They use their full strength for no reason." He complained, walking over to me. I stood my ground because with my new strength I thought I could defeat him.

When he got over to me he started to smile. "Newborns are too stupid to realize using their full strength all the time takes away energy. They get tired easily. But not only because of using their strength it's also hunting and feeding on humans and using super speed to hunt. That's exactly what you just did."

When he finished talking I felt drowsy. He was right again. I didn't realize how tired I was until he explained. Wow he didn't even have to touch me to defeat me. That's really sad. I yawned.

"See you're tired and you didn't even noticed."

"Shut…" I got interrupted by my own yawn. "up." I finished tiredly.

"Come on April you need to sleep. I'll let you sleep with me tonight. In that warm, cozy bed."

I started to nod my head but then I stopped and shook my head no. "No. I have to stay awake. I'm not staying with you. You- you devil." I said really weakly.

I started to walk and surprisingly Jack didn't try to stop me for reasons I'm about to figure out. I started to get extremely tired and my eyelids got heavier. I kept them open until I tripped on my own feet. I shook my head trying to wake myself up but it didn't work. But that didn't stop me I started to crawl slowly. After five minutes my arm and legs finally gave up. I laid there. Jack was behind me. He picked me up bridal style and took me back to his room in a matter of seconds. He placed me on his bed softly.

"Sweet dreams." Jack said before crawling into bed himself and pulling up the sheets.

Sweet dreams, more like nightmares. I hissed before drifting into deep slumber.

~END OF FLASHBACK~ (because Kim interrupted)

"Wait, you didn't escape? How long did you stay there before you left? Why didn't you kill that baby?" Kim interrupted

April sigh tiredly. "I was getting to that."

"Oh I interrupted you again didn't I?" Kim asked

April nods. "Ay, I don't blame you it's a lot to soak in. Oh and I don't know why I didn't kill the baby. It was the hungry that didn't do it."

"Ok, explain the rest."

~ANOTHER FLASHBACK (April's POV) ~

It has been months of killing families uncontrollably. Jack took me village to village for him and me to feed. Jack never taught me how to control my hunger so every time I fed; half the village is gone. And after every village I ended up trying to fight Jack and I always ended up getting tired or he just bet my ass until I was unconscious.

The worst part was that Jack was always by my side. He knew I want to escape but he was not going to let that happen. He had me with him in his room at night and in the dungeons in the mornings. I would've escaped the dungeon easily but the guards there got paranoid because of the sudden increase in vampire attacks. So they carried around stakes and they never left because Jack said they needed to keep slaves safe at all times. He got his parents to agree on it. During the afternoons I was cleaning but under surveillance by guards with stakes. There was no chance of escape.

The only time I got freedom was when I fed at night. That's why I tried to escape every time but I got tired. I didn't get use to the my strength (considering I only really use it during the night)so I use my full strength all the time getting me tired easily.

All of that was hurting me; physically and mentally. Physically because Jack would sometimes get rough when I fought him at night and in bed. Mentally because all the people I've hurt; killed. They were all floating in mind into my dreams. Dead bodies were everywhere staring right at me with pleading eyes. Because of all those nightmares I closed the person's eyes, so they look peaceful but I still felt guilty.

I was sitting on the dungeon floor at night waiting for jack to call me up to his room. He did the same thing all the time. In the night a guard took me to his room.

"Get up, the guard is on his way." Jack said in my mind.

I got up, looked out the tiny rectangular window we had and started to wait.

"Are you going up to your little Jackie again?" Mary teased me. I turned to her.

Mary never liked me. I met her when I was fifteen and when she figured out about me and Jack she had deep hatred toward me. I didn't get why she did, it was just me talking to him…at first. Did she really want herself as Jack's favorite? What did she expect if she were his favorite? Good sex, jewelry, money, or freedom.

"If only I had a choice." I whispered but she heard anyway.

"If you had a choice?" She repeated laughing

"What?" I asked confused.

"It's just that if you had a choice you'd still choice to go up there. I mean considering you're his whore."

"What did you just call me?!" I shouted.

"Oh come April everybody knows. You've gone up to his room every night for months. Tell me is he good in bed?" Mary asked rudely.

Then I heard little chuckles from the ground. I looked down to see a couple of slaves were still up and listening.

"Is Master Jack rough on you? Or does he take it slow because he knows how fragile you are." Mary asked.

I hissed at her out of instinct. I stalked over to her and grabbed one of her shoulders. I quickly popped it out of place. She screamed, making me smile. I wanted to see her suffer. Then I popped her shoulder back into place. She screamed and then started crying. I didn't let go of her.

"Say one more thing about me and I will torture you to death. Do you understand me?" I said firmly

She nodded her head and I let go of her. She ran to the corner of the room, holding her shoulder, sobbing. Then I looked around. Everybody there must have woken up because of the screaming and bone popping. They looked at me; their eyes filled with fear.

"That goes for everyone." I said mainly to ones that were chuckling earlier.

They all nodded their heads. Right after that was done I heard footsteps coming toward the dungeon. I walked toward the steel door. The guard opened the door. I turned around and looked at everyone. I then gave all of them a mind message. "Don't you dare tell anybody of this!"

They all looked up at me terrified. Then I turned back around smiling. When I started walking to Jack's room I thought through my actions. My eyes widened a little.

I'm turning into a monster…I'm turning into Jack. I can't believe I actually wanted to make her suffer. I need to get away from him.

Then I noticed I was alone in front of Jack's door. I stiffened a little but pushed the door open anyway. When I opened the door Jack was standing there looking angry. What's up with him?

"What happened?" I asked

"You happened." He answered me bitterly

"What did I do?" I asked in confusion

"You really just used your strength to pop someone's bone out of place!" Jack exclaimed. The door was soundproof.

"It's not like I left her shoulder like that…. I popped it back in place." I said the second part quietly knowing it sounded dumb. Jack gave me an 'are you serious' look.

"That's not helping you right now."

"I know. But she said that I was your whore. And then she made fun of our sex life…" I got interrupted

"I heard the conversation. But just because she made two or three rude comments doesn't give you permission to pop someone's shoulder out of place!"

"It's no big deal."

"It's a huge deal. No human could pop a shoulder out of place in just a couple of seconds. Let alone a slave! They'll suspect you. You hissed right before you attacked!"

"I think I did a good job of threatening the others slaves not to tell. They wouldn't say a word."

"We're going to continue this talk later. Come on the next village waits. And don't do that closing eyes thing. It's stupid." With that said Jack walked passed me and I followed ignoring the anger I had toward him.

When we were going through the back door he used his super speed to get to the village and I was right behind. We entered the village and stopped in the heart of the village.

But something strange happened. I didn't feel the need to feed. There was no hunger. For the first time every my hunger didn't control me. I'm not hungry.

Jack looked over his shoulder toward me. "April you could stand there all you want but the hunger is going to grow like it always does." With that said he walked over to a cottage. Then he looked back at me.

"April, you're going to lose like always. So call it a draw between you and your hunger." Jack said blankly

I just smirked. He had no idea that there was no hunger at all. I stepped backward two or three steps.

"It has been six months since I've changed you hasn't it?" Jack asked

"Yes, what does that have to do with anything?"I asked

"You're not a newborn anymore. Now you don't need to feed every night. You can feed every other night." Jack explained

"Cool. Now I'm not hungry so I'm just going to go back." I said turning around.

But Jack used his speed to get in front of me.

"Don't think you're just going to run away from me." Jack said darkly.

"I'm not running away. What are you talking about?"I lied

"Oh please don't lie to me. I know you've been thinking of escaping from the day you changed. You don't like the real me at all. You hate me at this point. You're trying to escape from me."

"Ok I won't deny it. I want to escape but it's only because it's a slave's dream. Freedom is all we want." I said. It was true what slave doesn't want to be free. But Jack was right about the whole hating him thing.

"But the second reason is you hating me."

"What happened to the old Jack that I loved?" I blurted out without thinking. Jack tensed up a little.

"That old Jack is dead and don't try to get him back. He's gone forever." Jack said angry.

I nodded my head. "Ok I won't try to get him back. It's obviously pointless. If I can't have him back what's the point of staying then." I said firmly looking him directly in his eyes.

"I want you here. No I need you here to stay. You're the thing that keeps me sane." He said lovingly.

He actually sounded like the old Jack. But I knew that was too good to be true.

"Wow you should be an actor sometime in your life span because that was really good. But you need to work on emotions in the eyes. It sounded like you meant it but your eyes say you're pissed off." I said smirking a little. I started walk pass him but he grabbed my arm.

"You're not leaving me." Jack said tightening his grip on me.

"Needy much?"

"I don't know where you got the guts to speak to me like that, but that's going to end now."

"Oh yeah what'cha gonna do?" I asked encouraging him to do something. I didn't know why though maybe I wanted him to get frustrated and angry. Well, it worked. His eyes turned red out of anger.

"Are you trying to pick a fight?" Jack asked. He still had a good grip on me.

"I guess I am."

"You've lost every time you tried."

"Yes but that was when I had to no energy, ya idiot." With that said I punched Jack straight in the face. He let go of me.

He tried to throw a punch but I caught it. I pushed him back and he stumbled back. Jack came charging at me but I didn't move. I stood there waiting for the perfect to attack. When he was close enough I roundhouse kicked him. I used some of my strength not all so he flew through the air and land on his back. He grunts in pain

Jack got up quickly and disappeared. I used my sense of smell to figure out where he's going to reappear. He's going to reappear behind me so I turned around. Just like my nose predicted he reappeared behind me. I throw punch toward his stomach and I hit him.

"I'm winning Jack." I teased.

Then I used my vampire speed to get behind him. Before I could make a move Jack turned around and kicked my stomach. It was a hard hit but I only stumbled back some. Jack looked at me surprised.

"You're a strong vampire with all your energy." Jack complimented.

"Thanks." I said before jumping up high in the air and lifted my foot for a kick to his head.

But he moved his head on time so I would kick him. Instead I kicked his shoulder and I heard a popping sound. On my way back down I grabbed Jack's hair bringing him on his back. Two dislocated shoulders in one night what are the odds?

Jack grabbed my wrist but it didn't do anything to faze me. I just tightened my grip on his hair; just like he did to me last week. I used my speed again to go to a tree in the forest. I lifted Jack to his feet. He hissed at me and tried to kick me but I grabbed his foot with me free hand.

"Goodnight. And goodbye forever my love." I whispered into his ear.

With that said I used my speed to slam Jack's head on the tree in front of us. I slammed his head into the tree three times before I stopped. I realized how much anger I had trapped inside of me; eating inside and out for the past six months. I let go of him, he fell to the ground unconscious and I started to kick him frustrated.

"YOU TURNED ME INTO A MONSTER! I HARMED INNOCENT PEOPLE! YOU DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THEM OR ME! YOU NEVER LOVED ME! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU JACKSON RICK BREWER! AND I'LL HATE YOU FOR THE REST OF MY IMMORTAL LIFE; NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE!" I screamed kicking his unconscious body; mainly his head and ribs. When I heard three of his ribs snap I stopped and looked at him.

There was gash on the side of his head blood was trickling down his cheek. His hair was a mess and one part of it was soaked with blood. There were bruises on one side of his cheek and some on his arms. There were purple already. He was pale and he looked terrible but I didn't care.

He deserves this don't feel sorry for him. A voice in my head told me and I listened.

I took a deep breath and looked at him one more time. I shook my head in disgust, turned around, and used my vampire speed to get far away; never looking back.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

"Wow." Kim said. That was the only thing she could say.

"Yeah, I know it's crazy."April said

"Yeah so another question. If you hate Jack so much and he hates you for leaving…why don't you just kill him already?" Kim asked awkwardly.

"I don't know. Maybe there's still a soft spot in my heart for him." April said shrugging.

"Did he ever find you again other than today?"

"Yeah, one time in the 1900s. We were in New York at the same time. There was a fight, I won again and I moved to Maryland."

"Ok now that all that Jack stuff is out of the way time for the last question. Why are you protecting me?" Kim asked

That is it for this chapter; the longest chapter so far. I hope you understand the status of April and Jack's relationship. They hate each other, they're just have little soft spots.

I hope you like it!

Why do you think April is protecting Kim?
