A Vampire Story

Chapter 7

Do I Really Have To Kill Him?

A/N: Ok guys, votes from my friends and you have been unanimously decided! Bill does NOT die therefore, I am turning him into a blood sucker, or am I? Well, he's not gonna die but what will Nickolas do? Did anyone see Return Of The King? I liked it, did you?

Nikolas couldn't sleep at all that night. He kept on checking cell six to see if William Weasley, his own flesh and blood, was still breathing; going down just to make sure a thirsty blood sucker didn't end poor Bill's life without a care. Woke him up to check if his eyes didn't glow a blood red; Woke him up just to tell him that he loved him and no matter what happened it didn't matter. Even though it was unbecoming of him he cried most of the night because Damian lost sense of humanity and was making him kill his brother.

And I won't be able to stop myself either. No matter what, until I make my first kill, blood lust will overtake me completely and the poor human next to me will die. he thought.

He walked into Damian's room to have a talk with him. When he walked in Damian was sitting at his desk looking over millions of documents and papers. He had anger evidently in his eyes and hurt too. There was a tear streaming down his cheek and he angrily brushed it away.

Nikolas sat down across from him. He hasn't seen his friend cry since his fourth year at school and it was a bit unsettling. "What's the matter?" he asked quietly.

Damian looked up at him and coughed a little. "It's um. . . nothing big. Nothing to worry about." he lied. He looked back down at his papers and started to reshuffle his stack to put them back in order again.

Nikolas sighed and looked at him disbelievingly "It doesn't look like it. Spill." Damian made no motion to start talking. "Come on, we've been best friends since we were eleven, you can tell me anything."

Damian looked up at him again. His eyes narrowed. "Why do you care Nick? I'm very surprised you don't hate me."

"Because before, I knew it was the vampire in you talking." Then he added quietly, "Although I disapprove of it."

Damian laughed a rather shaky laugh. "Well, can we not talk about that right now?"

"Sure Dame. Now what's wrong."

Damian looked at him now with misery in his eyes. "The worst thing that could ever happen happened."

Nikolas looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"You know Sirius, right?" he said finally.

"Of course. He's great. What happened?"

Damian took in a shaky breath and continued. "Well, Andrew was hunting the other night and he found someone."

No, Nikolas thought, it's not Sirius, it can't be Sirius. "Go on." he said.

A tear fell down Damian's cheek. "Well, he killed the human. The human was-was," Harry gulped and whispered his last word, "Sirius."

Nikolas stood there shock still. He couldn't believe what he was hearing! "Sirius, is, is dead?! NO!"

Damian nodded. "It's not fair! I barely knew him, his name just got cleared a few years ago and... and..." A sob burst from Damian's chest. Nikolas patted him on the back. "Listen," He said shakily, "Don't kill - Bill, turn him. If I'm this worked up about- about- Sirius I don't want to see you when you end Bill's life." Nikolas just saw Damian in a whole new light.

He smiled through his sadness. "Really? You mean that I don't have to?"

"No, I was being weird. Vampire in me you know." Damian said in between sobs.

"It'll be okay, don't worry." Nikolas hugged Damian tight.

"No it won't. I'm a vampire, I just lost the closest thing to a parent, my real parents don't understand me and if I die, I go to Hell."

"No you won't, we'll find a way to be human, without staking. Maybe if we figure out what that water is made of, we can turn it into a cure. And- and, we can heal your parents and maybe, maybe there is some way to make someone live again." said Nickolas, tears running down his cheeks.

"No, no. It isn't possible. I don't have any human in me. Maybe it'll work for you but I'm a lost cause." Harry looked away.

"We can find a way out of this, both of us. First, you have to stop sucking people's blood, and use animals or, IVs, we can duplicate the water for awhile, and-."

Damian laughed. "You really think this will go well? I don't hate being a vampire okay? It just sucks sometimes. But I know how much you don't like it so if you want to try and find a cure then I'll help you, alright?"

Nikolas grinned. "Thank you so much Damian!"

Then something sparked in Damian's mind. "What about when lust takes you over next week?" he said.

"Do I have to feed on a human?"

"It'd be best if you do but you don't really have to... but then you'll never have full control of yourself."

Nikolas looked thoughtful. "Well, I'll feed off of the human but it'll be okay. And I'll help you with Bill and everything I promise. Don't give up hope with me please? I really want to be human again and I can't do it without your help."

Nikolas was looking at him very pleadingly. Damian gave him one final look and nodded. "I'll help you."

A/N: What did you think? I know it's still short but there's a little more detail. The chapters get a few pages longer I promise!!
