The blonde fought to open his eyes, and Dark shrank under the menacing sight, "No…do…not!"
"Krad, just hold on, you need blood or your going to lose it!"
A wave of clouds passed over the moon, obstructing its haunting light. Krad's form stopped quavering for a moment, and he ceased shaking, "Dark…help me get away from the window…?" he asked lightly, and helped Krad move away.
"It's just the moon…if I can't see the moon…" Krad murmured quietly, and Dark immediately stood up and drew the curtains tightly over the window.
"Krad, what was that all about?" Dark hissed, and Krad looked up with him with eyes returning to their normal golden sheen.
"Blood. If I don't have enough blood in my system, I transform into…a monster in the moon light…and I transform during a full moon—always," Krad said, hesitantly looking up at Dark.
"Why can't you just take some of my blood—it won't kill me," Dark said, looking around for a small knife.
"It's not as simple as that," Krad said, his voice barely concealing his irritance, "If I taste blood—I mean real blood, I don't know what would happen, I might go after you…So just…no."
From above, a new voice rang out, deep and masculine, "Krad, Krad, Krad. I see your still as weak as ever…"
Two sets of eyes, golden and amethyst, turned up to look at the ceiling, and then followed the figure as it fell gracefully to the floor, white hair falling behind him.
Wearing an elegant ensemble consisting of pure black, the tanned pallid figure stretched a dry smirk across his face, "If he won't take your blood, I will…"
"You…" Krad hissed, glaring at the figure as he tried to stand up.
"You know him?" Dark asked, helping the blonde to stand.
"He is Dougan…he is the one who made me what I am…"
Dougan took a step foreword and Krad turned to look at Dark and hissed, "Get out of here—run!"
Dark shook his head, "I'm not going to leave you—for gods sake, you can barely stand up!" Dark said, gesturing at the blonde who was leaning on the wall for support.
"That isn't the point—get out!" Krad said, pushing Dark violently towards the door.
Still though, Due to Dark's delay Dougan had enough time to throw a punch at the violet haired teenager, and the other dodged easily.
At this point in time, Dark had decided that the least he could do would be to lead this Dougan fellow away from Krad so he might be able to escape as well.
Drawing back a few steps, Dark smirked and said to the white haired man, "What's the matter—can't land a punch?"
Dougan growled, and thrust his fist towards Dark, who dodged again. Throwing more and more attacks, Dark dodged them all as quickly as the other man could throw them, and paused in dodging for a minute to taunt him again.
"For a vampire…you're a little slow…" He said, and Dougan jerked his hand foreword to grab the male's neck.
Krad gasped, "Dark!"
The violet haired man struggled, but Dougan's grip was just too strong, and he quickly drew Dark to him, and licked his neck.
Dark groaned in pain, feeling his flesh melt away with the acidic saliva of the being he was held by, and Dougan smirked, "Oh, yes, I do think I'll enjoy this…"

Yes, I know this is short, but at least I updated, right? And I felt like leaving it at a cliffhanger, so you have to wait until the end of today to see what happens. See, I had a plan in store, and because this is so short I'm going to update again later, all right?
