Chapter 8

Disclaimer: I don't own Kickin It.

They turned and didn't see a snake (duh) but they did see a teenage boy their age. He was Native American; he had a muscular body, like Jack, and had his jet black hair in a ponytail.

"Carson?" Jerry asked in his regular state; confusion.

"Yeah hey guys, Kim." Carson said and looked at Kim with hunger in his eyes but only Kim noticed.

"H-hey Carson." Kim stuttered in a shaky voice.

"Why are you here?" Milton asked. Both Jerry and Milton ignored Kim's shaky voice.

"Oh, just walking around. I was just about to get a bite to eat." Carson answered looking directly at Kim.

"Where are you April?" Kim thought.

"Oh, well there's a mess hall at camp, we could sneak some leftovers." Jerry suggested with a stupid smile on his face.

"Nah, I have something else in mind." Carson said smiling.

Then suddenly his fangs came out and his eyes turned red. Jerry and Milton laughed, while Kim stiffened.

"Nice joke, how'd you do the fang thing without us noticing?" Milton asked through his laughter

"And the eyes." Jerry added.

"Great there are both in denial." Kim thought and rolled her eyes.

"This isn't a joke guys." Kim said firmly.

"What do you mean?" Jerry and Milton said in union. They were then nervous and worried.

"She's correct." Carson spoke up.

He then used his vampire speed to get in front of Kim. Kim panicked and shouted.

"APRIL!"

April sped over to Kim's side and punched Carson in the face then quickly kicked him. He stumbled a little before falling. He quickly got up and punched April in the stomach.

"Hey-" Jerry started.

"It's ok it didn't hurt." April reassured Jerry before he said something stupid and got himself hurt.

Jerry nodded. April turned around and as soon as she did Carson punched her. Her head turned sharply to the left. April turned her head back to Carson and cracked her neck.

"Gosh, you're an idiot." April said firmly.

Her eyes turned red and her fangs came out. She then grabbed Carson's shoulders.

"He's a controlled newborn. I can sense it plus he has no fighting experience or any reflex. He could be a really peaceful vampire when not hungry. To bad I can't take any chances." April thought a little sad.

Carson was truly peaceful for a vampire. He didn't get in any fights; he wasn't a violent person. As a vampire he didn't like feeding off of people, just like April. His mentor, the person who changed him, taught him how to control himself early so he wouldn't go crazy ever time he smelt blood. But then the two months of teaching him how to control himself went out the window. One whiff of Kim's blood made him lose control.

"He died and got reborn only 4 months ago.I can sense that too. I'm sorry I guess." April thought still having a strong grip on his shoulders.

She pinned him on a tree and moved her hands from his shoulders to his arm.

"Please don't! You know I'm a newborn and I'm controlled. I can control myself and you just have to give me some time to adjust." Carson pleaded

"Don't listen to him. His lying and he's too young to control himself around Kim's blood type." Jack's voice popped into April's head.

April looked into Carson's eyes. They held guilt and…unshed tears? April looked at him sad.

"Why is she stopping? He's trying to kill me! Please don't tell me she's actually thinking of letting him go." Kim thought scared.

"Here's a first…I don't want to kill a vampire that tried to kill Kim." April thought.

"Don't you dare fall for that. I've done that to you a hand full of times before you knew I was vampire just so you'd get close to me." Jack's voice popped into April's head again.

April narrowed her eyes and got angry; thinking of the year Jack said he was depressed because of his parents.

"You little…" April whispered.

"What? Are you letting me go?" Carson asked with a crack voice because the tears started to spill.

"Nope." April answered making Carson's eyes widen.

April turned back toward Kim, Milton, and Jerry. Milton and Jerry were wide eyed.

"This maybe a little too graphic so you could just turn around if you want." April said then turned back to Carson.

All of them wanted to see for some twisted reason so they just stood and stared.

Carson started to struggle to get out of April's grip but she was too strong and again he had no fighting experience.

"P-Please! I-I'll leave and never c-come back!" Carson pleaded and shouted.

April decided to block out all the pleading and focus on his heartbeat. She didn't realize how hunger she was until then.

April bent down toward his neck and tore through his skin with her fangs.

"PLEASE AHHH!" Carson shouted as the pain of the bite exploded through his veins.

"EW!" The guys thought all together.

Suddenly his hands latched onto April's arms. He started to crush her arms. April moaned in pain and stopped drink but she kept her mouth on his neck.

"Halfway there. Keep drinking ignore the pain. It's just his survival mode it'll be gone, along with the pain, when you're done." April's conscience spoke up.

April obeyed her conscience and continued but every ounce she drank he squeezed more and more. She couldn't take it anymore. All the pressure on her arms was too much; her bones were on the brink off breaking. She pulled away from Carson and let go of him. She backed away in front of Kim. April wiped the blood off her chin with her hand and dismissed her fangs.

Carson started to walk but stumbled and tripped over his own feet. There was a huge loss of blood.

"Why didn't you kill him?" Jerry asked disappointed.

April turned to him. "Did you not just see him trying to crush my bones?!"

"Right, right good point." Jerry said nodding his head.

"Should we be afraid that he's getting back up?" Milton asked pointing behind April.

She turned around. Milton was right Carson was up and in fighting stance. Kim went behind Jerry hiding.

"Great now his survival mode is fully kicked in. This will be harder. Survival mode comes with amazing reflexes and the best fighting skills. Also his one different ability will be strengthen. I hope his special ability isn't defensive like fire or something." April thought nervous.

"What is it April? Scared?" Carson asked with a twisted smile.

"Scared of you? Hell no." April said getting into fighting stance herself.

Carson smirked. "You should be."

The palm of his hands started to glow light blue. Then they heard the flow of water coming their way. Suddenly water came from the ground behind Carson.

"Ok what are going to do with that water? Soak us?" Jerry asked nervously laughing. Kim, April, and Milton just shook their heads.

"We should be running right?" Kim asked, ready to running at any time.

"There is no point in running. He controls all of Earth's water he'll be able to catch you easily." April explained looking straight at Carson.

"She's right. Are you ready yet? I'm getting bored of your little chit chat." Carson said blankly.

April used her speed to get in front of Carson but she only made it halfway there. He attacked with his water. The water acted like a snake and wrapped around April's body. She was lifted off the ground.

"Well, I'll kill you first. I saw you on a wanted list in the club once. It said 10,000 dollars for you; dead or alive. I think I'm going to get the reward money today." Carson said looking up at April, smirking.

"I know a couple of vampires don't like April because she protects me but having a reward for her is a little much. Well to be fair all vampires want to get me." Kim thought.

"That's not going to happen; especially to newborn. That will haunt me in my afterlife…or is it after afterlife." April said trying to move her body and get out but she wouldn't budge.

"Hey let her go!" Jerry shouted.

Carson turned his head to Jerry. His smirk disappeared. It was replaced by a look of disgust.

"You pathetic human, do you really think you can stop from crushing your precious vampire girlfriend?" Carson said closing one of his hands into a fist slowly.

As Carson did this the water snake slowly started to crush April. She screamed in pain.

"Stop it!" Kim shouted.

"And what are you going to do? You've been protected your whole life. You've never had to lift a finger to protect yourself against vampires. What makes you think you can now?"

Kim grunted at him angry. "I'm perfectly capable of protecting my self."

"You're an idiot!" Milton shouted and threw a rock at him. It didn't hit Carson because he made an ice shield dodging it.

"What did you just call me?" Carson asked giving his full attention to Milton. That made the water loosen up on April.

"Keep it up. Call him names." April gave all of them a mental message. They all nodded their heads.

"You heard him you're an idiot and you're a dumb ass!" Kim shouted first.

"Yeah, and you look stupid with that long hair!" Jerry shouted.

Carson was focusing on those three instead of April. She was getting loose.

"Just one more insult and I'll be able to get out." April gave them a mental message again.

"You look like a girl!" Milton shouted.

That was last straw for Carson. He stopped thinking about April all together and went for Kim, Jerry and Milton. April was able to slip out and land on her feet quietly. It was quiet but since Carson was in survival mode he heard her land. He lifted his hand back at her and water shot out of nowhere and blasted her into a tree. But the water didn't stop; it kept going. She was being pushed onto the tree by water and water started to fill her lungs.

"Now what should I do to you guys? Oh wait I got it."

Carson lifted his hand toward Milton first. Water surrounded Milton and formed into a dome then it froze. Milton immediately started to shiver and wrapped his arms around himself trying to warm himself. He went to the side and started to bang on it. He shouted but he couldn't be heard. But April and Carson could hear him loud and clear.

"HELP, I'LL FREEZE TO DEATH! MY BODY CAN'T ENDURE THESE KINDS OF TEMPERATURES! THE TEMPERATURE IS GETTING LOWER!" Milton screamed scared.

Carson smirked and April wanted to wipe that smirk right off his face but she was still being pushed by water. Kim and Jerry rushed toward the dome but was stopped by a wall of water.

Then Carson lifted his hand toward Jerry. Jerry started to shiver and fell to the ground wrapping his arms around himself. Kim knelt down next to him and her hand on his back.

"He's freezing." Kim thought extremely worried.

"M-my i-in-insides a-re f-fr-freez-z-zing." Jerry stuttered shaking.

"Yeah, because I'm slowly freezing all the water you have in your body. Have fun with that. Three down one to go." Carson said turning toward Kim.

He lifted his hand once again. Kim stared wide eyed scared of what he might do and she didn't want to leave everyone suffering. April probably drowning, Milton in a dome of ice freezing to death with unheard screams, and Jerry was freezing on the inside gasping and blowing out smoke.

"Run Kim Run as fast you can. We'll be okay. RUN!" April sent Kim a mental message.

Kim did as she was told. She got up and ran. It surprised Carson at first but he caught on after a couple of seconds.

Kim was fast on her feet she was half a mile away in 3 minutes. The sound of flowing water was right behind her. She looked back and saw water in a huge snake form. She screamed but kept running and looked back in front of her. But she saw a wall of water making her turn off the trail into the woods.

She dodged tree and branches left and right. She jumped over fallen trees. It went on like that for 10 minutes then Kim got tired. The worst part was she still heard the flowing water right behind her. She then tripped over a fallen branch. She grunted and trying to pull herself but something wet pulled at her ankle.

She looked down and saw the water wrap around her ankle pulling her. She tried kicking it but it was water, her foot went right through. Kim whimpered a little and swallowed hard as she got dragged.

But then the weirdest thing happened. A shield formed around Kim and the water around her ankle sunk into the ground. She got up, confused. The shield was still around her. She looked around and saw the snake. It tried to attack the shield but it would turn back into simple water. Then the shield vanished knowing the snake would back down.

"Who just saved me?" Kim thought confused.

Then she heard leaves raffling and twigs snapping.

"Who's there?" Kim asked

The person steps out from behind a tree. Kim's eyes widen out of fear and shock. She took a couple of steps back. But then she narrowed her eyes.

"Did you just save me?" Kim asked extremely confused.

"Yeah, why is that so surprising?"

Who saved Kim?

What's happening to the others?

Why is Carson's survival mode so cruel?

More importantly, did you like it?
