Chapter 10

Disclaimer: I don't own Kickin It.

April was the first to break the group hug.

"We should go. I can hear the camp counsolers' thoughts and they're angry and worried. There's no doubt that we're getting in trouble." April explained getting up and everyone followed.

"But we can't leave without Kim." Milton said

"Yeah what are we supposed to say? Kim isn't with us because she made a deal with a blood thirst vampire. Don't worry she'll be back in an hour." Jerry said sarcastically.

"Yeah April, they have a point. What are we supposed to say?" Jack asked.

"Um, we could say Kim was never with us and that's why we're late; we went out looking for her. They'll send a search party and by the time they come back Kim will be in the cabin. And we'll think of something when she comes back." April explained the plan and everyone nodded their head.

April started to walk down the trail and the guys followed.

"Vampires are real. And my girlfriend is one of them. I wonder if she could hear me now." Jerry thought looking over to April.

"I could hear you perfectly fine." April messaged Jerry.

"Looks like I can't even think of another girl. Like Donna Tobin…with her tight clothes that are oh-so-perfectly revealing." Jerry thought but then realized what he just thought. He looked over to April.

She was glaring at him and looked away with a huff and fastened her pace.

"April, wait." Jerry sped after April. Milton frowned in confusion. Jack smirked and held back his laughter.

He took her to a cottage somewhere in the middle of the woods. It was beautiful. It was surrounded by nature; the birds chirping happily, the bees buzzing and landing on flowers for pollen, and butterflies floating gracefully in the air.

The grass was the greenest she's every seen. The trees that surrounded the cottage were all alive and green. The branches were gently being shaken by the summer breeze.

The garden in front of it was filled with wonderful flowers on one side and on the other was filled with fruits and vegetables. The scenery was breath taking.

It was so breath taking she almost forgot why she was there but then she turned around to see Carson looking her. He was smiling sweetly.

"I know it's amazing. I found this place right before she changed me. This is the only place where I'm able to keep my humanity." Carson said softly.

"Is his survival mode off or is he tricking me? I can't trust him." Kim thought.

"I understand you don't trust me. My survival mode did just try to kill your friends." Carson said walking up a path to the cottage and Kim followed.

He opened the door. The interior was just as amazing as the exterior. The auburn wood floors and ceiling were beautiful. The beams were exposed but it still looked pretty. The walls were painted white. The place felt enchanted with the old fashion cabinets and table. The chairs around the table were iron; the back of it had a heart design in the middle. Kim turned toward Carson to see he was in the kitchen leaning against the old wooden counter top. He was smiling at her again.

"So I see you like this place as much as I do." Carson declared.

"Why aren't you doing anything to me? I thought you were out of control." Kim blurted out without thinking.

"I told your little protector that I just needed time to adjust. She didn't listen so my survival mode kicked in and all of that happened. And I'm really sorry for the pain I've caused." Carson apologized.

"It's ok…I guess. When did your survival mode end?" Kim asked.

"When I started to run here." Carson explained.

"Where are we?" Kim asked again.

"We're still in California, don't worry." Carson said calmly.

Kim nodded her head. "Um, so can I go now? I mean you don't want to hurt me so there's no point in just having me here." Kim said awkardly backing up toward the door.

Carson sped over to the door before she got to it and locked it. He then grabbed Kim's arms and turned her around so she was facing him. Kim looked up at him stunned and scared. She started to struggle against his grip but he seemed to have tightened his grip.

"I don't want to hurt you but that doesn't I don't want your blood." Carson said darkly.

Suddenly Kim felt something wet on her wrist she looked down and saw a little water snake wrapped around her wrist. Kim shrieked as snake froze and had turned as sharp as knife. It pierced through her skin and blood dripped.

The snake disappeared. Carson grabbed Kim's wrist and brought it up to his mouth. Kim started to tug away.

"Hey, you made the deal I got you for fifty minutes and I'm not just going to talk to you the whole time. Well unless you want me to go back to your friends and kill them all." Carson said darkly again.

Kim shook her head and stopped struggling. He brought her wrist to his mouth and started to drink. Carson closed his eyes and as gently as possible sucked on her wrist. Kim bit back a scream when Carson suddenly sunk his fangs in her wrist and drank faster.

"Car-Carson that's e-enough. Y-your dr-drink-ing too fast." Kim stumbled on her words. Carson was drinking too fast, her vision was getting blurry.

Carson stopped drinking and let go of Kim wrist. Kim felt her knees buckled and she fell into Carson's arms.

"April calm down. She'll be back in thirty minutes." Jack tried to calm down April.

She's been pacing around, biting her lips and nails for the past fifteen minutes. When the guys told their story of what happened to the camp counselors they got in trouble. The guys had to stay in the counselor's office until the search party comes back with Kim. They sat on the ground waiting while April paced around.

"Your lip is starting to bleed." Jerry said.

"I don't care." April said still pacing.

"We need to figure out what we're going to say when Kim gets here." Milton said reasonably.

"I'll figure it out when I see Kim right in front of me safe and sound!" April exclaimed.

"Ok, you don't have to shout gosh." Milton said quietly.

"Sorry. I'm just stress out." April apologized.

Milton nodded understanding her stress.

"There are two questions that have been bugging me. Why are you protecting Kim? Why does she need protection?" Milton asked.

"Yeah." Jerry said.

"Um…let's just say I have a big debt to pay and protecting is how I'm paying it off. And Kim needs protection because her blood type is very rare and vampires would love to get their hands on it." April explained briefly, still pacing around.

"I don't know about that. It's not just her blood I want. I want her…STOP THAT."Jack thought annoyed. "She's prey, nothing more, nothing less. But if she were something more I'd be all over…STOP IT JACK! SNAP OUT OF IT! SHE'S PREY!" Jack thought annoyed again.

April heard his thoughts loud and clear with all the shouting. April narrowed her eyes at him.

"You're in denial." April messaged Jack, shaking her head and smirking. "You're finally moving on and you're in denial about it."

"Shut up April."

"Denial."

"No seriously stop."

"Denial."

"April if you say that word one more time…"

"Oh sweet denial."

Jack jumped up in front of April. He was pissed.

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Jack shouted.

"Not until you say you have feeling for her." April said calmly.

"I don't have feeling toward her!" Jack exclaimed.

"Yes you do, you're just in denial." April said smiling.

"April I LOVE YOU! NOT HER!" Jack exclaimed.

Jack stopped himself from saying anything else because he just remembered Milton and Jerry were right behind him. April winced because she felt the anger and jealousy in Jerry build up. April looked up at Jack like 'really'.

"You had to drop the bomb on Jerry like that." April messaged Jack.

"Sorry wasn't thinking straight and you pushed me to it." Jack replied

April glared at him before looking at Jerry. He had gotten up.

"So you guys did have a past. Or are you guys still…a thing? Like your reuniting after years of separation." Jerry asked as calm as possible.

"We had a past yes but we'll never be a thing ever." April answered bitterly looking at Jack.

"I don't think I heard that when we were in bed." Jack said looking at April. Then he realized what he said and he looked to the ground.

"Oh I'm an idiot."

"Is it just one of those days where you just blurt out the truth randomly?" April asked him angry.

"I guess so." Jack said looking up.

"Ugh…how-what-when did you…" Jerry was speechless.

"In the seventeen hundreds. Ah I remember it like it was yesterday. I took your innocence and it was nothing but you screaming my name." Jack said looking up at the memory.

"Uh, no that's not want happened. You were screaming my name. And I'm pretty sure there were more…sounds." April said.

"Nope you were screaming my name."

"Ok, we both screamed each other's name."

"You screamed mine louder." Jack said quietly and April looked at him like shut up.

They finally looked back at Milton and Jerry. They just stood there awkwardly looking at them. Jerry decided to break the silence.

"Jack what do you mean by I love you?"

"I mean I still love April." Jack said but there was doubt in his tone.

He knew deep inside that April was right. He was in denial.

"And I will always hate him." April said right after Jack.

"But you just admitted you slept with him and he took your innocence." Jerry said confused.

"Long story, short. I thought I loved him but he turned out to be a bastard so now I hate him." April explained with no real detail.

"Ok." Jerry said awkwardly. But he was still jealous, Jack got to her before him.

"To be fair she's a vampire; there are probably a lot of guys that got her. But Jack was her first and will always have a part of her." Jerry thought a little disappointed.

"Hey what time is it?" April asked and started pacing again. She suddenly remembered Kim.

Jack took a deep breath and said, "Fifteen more minutes. April."

April sniffed the air surprised. And she smiled.

"Or earlier." April said using her supernatural speed to go and Jack followed close behind. They left behind Jerry and Milton.

They met Carson and Kim half way there. Kim looked pale but she was alive and awake. Carson let go of her and Kim went running toward April and Jack. She hugged April close and April hugged right back.

"My hunger was too tempted to kill her, so I brought her back early." Carson explained himself.

"Thank you." Both April and Jack thanked him.

With that Carson waved and left.

Kim pulled away and looked up at April.

"I think I need to be hearing something." Kim said smiling.

"Thank you so much Kim." April said.

"But don't every scare us like that again." Jack said seriously.

"Um, can I go take a nap?" Kim asked yawning.

"Sure." April said

"April you should go back to the guys and give them a plan. I'll take her to her cabin." Jack said.

"Jack…" April started.

"We have a deal remember? I won't break it." Jack reassured.

"…ok…Kim don't worry I'll be back." April said before leaving.

Jack took Kim's hand and started to take her to her cabin. Kim and Jack felt something when their hands touched.

"Um…Jack thanks again, for saving me back there." Kim said slightly blushing because of them holding hands.

"I care too much for you." Jack confessed out of the blue.

"Uh, excuse me?" Kim asked looking up at him confused.

Then a twig snapped from in front of them. Kim froze in fear and squeezed Jack's hand.

"Don't worry it's just the search party that's looking for you." Jack messaged Kim.

Jack used his speed and went to her cabin. He sat her down on her bed and he sat next to her. He looked directly into her eyes and Kim looked into his.

"Why do I feel like this?" They both whispered at the same time.

They started leaning in. They kissed and as instinct Kim wrapped her arms around his neck and Jack put his hands on Kim's waist. They both felt sparks, no…fireworks is what they felt. Passion exploded.

"I know she's prey but…this feels so right." Jack thought.

"He tried to kill me yes, but he's…the one. This feels so right." Kim thought.

Jack deepened the kiss and licked her bottom lip for permission. She allowed it and let him explore. Then the need of air came and Jack pulled away first. Kim whimpered wanting more, making Jack smile.

"Stupid air." Kim complained in her thoughts.

"Kim, I've felt like this since the first time I laid eyes on you. I just denied it at first, thinking it was just a tiny crush that would go away. But this is more than a tiny crush. I really like you." Jack said honestly.

"I feel the same way. But you know it took a while to notice because of the whole attacking thing." Kim said smiling and Jack smiled too.

"You have a beautiful smile." Jack said giving Kim a small kiss on her lips. Kim blushed and then yawned.

"You get some sleep ok. And can you do me a favor and not tell April about this?" Jack asked, laying Kim down and standing up.

She gave him a confused look.

"There's most likely going to be an argument between you two and I don't want to see you angry." Jack said walking toward the door. Kim nodded and with that Jack left.

Kim drifted into sleep,smiling, and dreaming about Jack.

So here's where kick begins :)

Did you like it? I hope you did.

What's the deal between April and Jack?

What's Jerry going to do? I mean with all the jealousy inside.

What does Milton think of all this?

Are there going to be more attacks throughout the rest of the day?

Now you don't have to worry because there are a lot more kick moments to come.
