"My brother's name was…is Mikey."

Thalia opened her phone and dialed the number with shaking hands.

"Mikes? It's Thalia. Can you come over, like, ASAP?"

A pause, and then she nodded, even though Mikey couldn't see her. "Okay. See you soon."

She hung up.

"Well?" Gerard said exasperatedly. I couldn't blame him- when someone you care about has been missing for a year and you suddenly find out they're alive you get kind of impatient.

"He'll be here in about five minutes, he said," Thalia said shakily, placing the phone on the coffee table.

Gerard nodded weakly.

"Gerard?" I said, poking his side. "Can you explain who this Mikey is?"

He took a deep breath.

"Mikey is my younger brother. He looks a bit like me, though honestly he's a bit of a nerd. Last year, before my nineteenth birthday, he went missing. My mom filed a missing person's file and everything, but we had no idea where he went.

"The only thing he left behind was his glasses. Something extreme must have happened, because he never goes anywhere without them. Either he didn't need them or he was rushed away, but…I don't have them with me right now. I don't know where they are, and I never thought to track him down. I haven't even caught his scent yet."

"So now we wait," I summed up.

"Pretty much."

We sat in silence for a while, when suddenly there was a soft knock on the door.

Thalia stood up and opened it. "Hi, Mikey."

"Hi, Thalia," I heard someone say. "What did you want to see me for?"

"Um, yeah," she stuttered. "About that…"

She moved aside as Mikey entered the room.

He froze.

Then he launched himself at me, snarling as I jumped in shock.

"Mikey, no! Stop!" Gerard cried as Mikey bared his teeth at me.

"Thalia, these are vampires! What were you thinki-"

Then he caught sight of Gerard.

His mouth dropped open.

"G-Gerard?"

Gerard smiled sadly and held out his hand.

Mikey took it, and Gerard drew him into a deep hug.

"I've missed you, Mikes."

"I missed you too."

I sat awkwardly on the couch, before Gerard remembered me.

"Oh, sorry. Mikey, this is Frank. We're, um, together."

He looked at me. Then he smiled. "Sorry about attacking you earlier. And, Gerard, when you say 'together,' do you mean together as in…?"

"Yeah."

Mikey grinned and punched his shoulder. "I always knew you were never completely straight!"

Gerard pouted. I laughed at his adorableness.

"Nice to meet you, Mikey."

"Nice to meet you, too, Frank. And, just out of curiosity, how long have you been a vampire?"

"Umm…" I thought back to the day Gerard had changed me. It seemed like so long ago, when it had only been, "Two days."

"Did Gerard change you?"

"Yep."

He grinned.

"What?"

He shook his head. "It makes you two more bonded, you know. I may not be an expert on vampires, but I do know some things. Also, being the opposite species doesn't exactly help."

I stared.

Gerard groaned loudly. "Mikes, don't tell me."

He sighed. "Yep. Mikey Way, leader of the werewolves."

"And that's how I became a vampire. It was about two months after that I found Frank."

Mikey nodded, showing no surprise at all. He must deal with supernatural shit every day.

"So, Frank, is the vampire life working out for you?"

"It's not bad," I admitted. "Though I was a vegetarian when I was human."

Mikey laughed. "That's ironic."

"Yeah."

Gerard cleared his throat a little. "Mikes, can you tell us how you became a werewolf?"

He stared at Gerard. "You don't know? It was all over the papers. Of course, no one really knew what had actually happened. Thalia knew."

She nodded absentmindedly. "I was one of the few who knew what he had become. The others couldn't handle it. They were sent to a mental hospital."

Gerard looked at Mikey impatiently. "Well, tell us!"

"Wait a minute," I interrupted with a gasp. "Are you the same guy who was mauled in the middle of the street? That was you?"

"That's the cover-up story."

"So what really happened?" Gerard asked.

Mikey sighed.

"It was around the end of August last year. I was walking home from school as a junior that year, when suddenly I heard something growling from behind a dumpster. I went to investigate.

"The thing behind there was a werewolf, though obviously that wasn't my first thought. It wasn't a full moon, so basically it looked like a mentally ill person. It looked sick- he looked sick, rather. I bent over to see what was wrong, and he attacked me, managing to bite my palm. That's the only place the werewolf blood can spread out from- like a neck in the sense of vampires. Otherwise, they're just biting. And killing.

"He left me to change in the middle of the street, and when people tried to put me in the hospital I screamed at them. I used every bit of strength I had left to run away into the forest. I thought I was dying, but then again, dying shouldn't be that painful. Unless I was going to Hell- sorry bro, but my first thought was, 'Nah, that's Gerard.' So, when I awoke, and found that I had a craving for human meat, I was rather depressed. I tried to kill myself, but there are only a few ways you can kill a werewolf. There's the traditional silver bullet. Then there's vampires. Then there's another way, which I only found out because it happened to one of the other werewolves I traveled with. It's to, um, tear out your own heart and eat it. Rather disgusting, if you ask me."

"Gross!" I shivered.

"Yeah," Mikey agreed. "So, I decided to just live with the fact that I was a flesh-eating monster, and here I am. It's not as bad once you get used to it."

"You think that being a vampire is easy?" Gerard protested.

"I never said it was," Mikey smiled.

"So, basically," Thalia added. "I've met a vampire, who's dating a vampire of the same sex, who is also the brother of a werewolf."

"'Bout right."

"Huh," she shook her head. "I could sell this to Hollywood."

Gerard, Mikey and I laughed.

"We are the sins of the world, aren't we?" Gerard asked me.

I grinned and nodded.

Sorry it's so short :c But now you know what happened to Mikey xD
