Violence Equals Love

:: You like her?:: Paul was being nosy and of all times, during feeding.

:: I'm eating here you know?:: I was irritated.

:: Duh, so am I!:: Paul snickers. :: You can think and feed at the same time. Sides I was thinking if you want Gale to slow down and stop trying to fuck you every ten minutes.::

:: Wait hu? What you mean?:: I was curious, it had caused me to pause feeding.

:: Court her, if you like her, just start showing interest you want to mate her and she'll cool off.:: Paul says and the grinding rip of tendon and flesh reaches my ears. Paul had gouged out the throat of his meal, ripping across it, fangs slicing threw muscle and tendon, it was a grizzly scene, blood smeared Pauls demonic face along with the twitching body in his claws.

:: ... How are we talking about courting and mating and lovey dovey shit while you just ripped a gaping hole into someones throat?:: I had to ask, I mean he seriously is having a telepathic private conversation with me that is normal like you'd hear from any good friend giving love advice. It was just to fucked up.

:: I can think and eat at the same time.:: Paul sounded smug. :: Anyway you want her don't you?::

:: I guess, I'm just not all for this mating thing... I'm not pissed about her tricking me anymore, just this mate thing bothers me, bad enough I can feel and hear as much as i do.:: I did like Gale and she was alright when not in the throws of her vampire nature. Which was to take what it wants and to be forceful and violent.

:: Cool, then court her, she's trying to force you cause you're showing no interest, she's going to be violent and try and force you to mate cause she's got to prove herself, though will be funny if she makes you her bitch.:: Paul started cackling in my head. :: Gender doesn't matter for us, she's going to get violent and force it as fast as she can since she's not being courted ensuring she's going to be your mate as well as when she gets you aroused David cock blocks you two so you can't mate... She's going to get frustrated and go the not so gentle rout.:: Paul finished off his meal, dropping the dead man on the ground.

:: So courting...:: I had an idea what that could be, but I wasn't sure. :: how do i do it where she'd calm down?:: I can't believe I'm getting love advice from Paul.

:: Eh, instinct, you'll know, you got instincts, just show her you're interested and she'll calm her horny ass down.:: Paul chunks the body into the bon fire.

**** Over Sexed Vampire ****

I felt like a damned kid trying to figure this out. Paul said instinct, but what instinct? I wasn't sure how to approach her and court her. Flowers and chocolates did not sound right in my mind, it actually sounded a bit lame, no sense in making a pass, she's interested in me already. My aim's not to get her, that's not a problem, but to some how calm her with the knowledge I'm wishing to mate... Which I'm not really, not right now.

I watch Gale, keeping to myself over in a corner, which gets the attention of David who's now looking at me curiously. Davids eyes go from me to Gale who's sitting in a chair looking at a comic book, then back to me, with a smirk. He probably knows what I'm up to and has no interest to make it easier on me.

I move from my spot and walk over to stand behind Gale, I lean down to look at what she's reading, which causes Gale to look up. Next thing I know Gale suddenly without warning lashed at me with her claws grappling me to pull me down over her onto the chair, which confused and freaked em out, so I started trying to pull away from her. I think I let out a few yelps, least I think it's my throat the weird sounds erupt from as Gale tackles me and digs her claws into me.

Paul quickly is on Gale trying to pull her off, David has me trying to pry me out from under her vicious claws. Gale is now snarling in frustration. I now decide Gale might be not good to approach at this time.

A quick glance around I see Marko and Dwayne bent over laughing hard.

" Oh shut up!" David yells out vocally, his voice a snarl. " Get over here and help us pull them apart!"

" Your wish is my command!" Marko says as he stands from the couch, along with Dwayne, both still shaking from laughter.

Marko and Dwayne join Paul in unclasping Gale from me, David finally pulls me from under her and drags me away a few feet, but Gale lunges forward and grabs for me, slicing open my pants leg and cutting deep into my leg in her attempts to get a hold of me again.

:: Holy fuck! :: I screeched out, actually I was screeching both vocally and mentally at the attack Gale had done on me, my sides, head and chest are badly clawed up and now my leg.

Gale was hissing and still trying to lunge for me, but not able to break the hold of three much older vampires having hold of her. She seemed to have completely snapped and lost it and in a way she had. Gale was more vampire than human even mentally, pretty much at the whim of her instincts. Paul had said she'll turn violent if I didn't do something and he wasn't kidding.

I realize I'm hissing at her as she lays under the three now growling and staring at me intently. I'm not sure what I want to do more, go to her or run like hell from her, I know what she wants and is demanding from me and why the attack and it in a creepy way attracts me. I go quiet as I calm down from the attack, David's clutching me, I guess to keep me away from her or running. Gale takes longer to calm and Dwayne remains on her while Paul and Marko remove themselves.

:: Poor Mikey!:: Paul's laughing. :: Seriously, you better do something before she tears you up trying to mate you!::

**** Just a Scratch****

I like to keep my word, just not tonight, but still I showed up at the house. Apparently would take a days rest to fully heal my wounds. The joy.

" Mike?" Sam had answered the door and was looking at me nervous and confused at my appearance. " Sun glasses at night?"

" Yea." I wasn't much cheery, especially because the questions I'll get, I have my hair kinda hanging down in my face as well. " Can I come in, or you going to remain there all night?" I sounded a bit snappy and inwardly winced.

" Nice to see you too Mike, guess shit sucking is a hard job." Sam's says sarcastically, but with a bit of spite.

I didn't like the tone and didn't want my brother looking at me like I'm no longer family. " I wasn't meaning it to come out like that Sam, just complicated." I stepped threw as Sam moved. I had a feeling that those Frog kids have been working on Sams' mind, considering Sam was ready to accept me even like this, but now I'm not sure. I hardly see him except when trying to make a few visits a month. I don't like these thoughts, thoughts my own brother may turn on me. I turn and look at him, then step back out, Sam gave me a confused look when I did so. " I probably should just leave you and mom alone after all, you wont have to worry about me doing anything to you."

" What you mean by that?" Sam gave me this weary look.

" I mean like leave and not come back, so you wont have to be afraid of me, grandpa probably knows some things to keep me out too so really you have nothing to be afraid of." I turn again and start to leave, but felt tension on my arm,, when I looked over my shoulder Sam had this look in his eyes, fear, but it couldn't been fear of me, since he stopped me. " what is it? Something wrong?"

" Don't leave Mike, I didn't mean to snap, just, I was." Sam went quiet.

" I was snappy first, but I don't want to make you uncomfortable if you don't want me around..." I trailed off, Sam was shaking his head and tighten his grip. I reached over and ruffled his hair. " Then you're stuck with me as your brother, even with attitude." I smirk at him. I guess Sam's just not sure what to think, but I catch a stray thought. He blames himself.

" Sam?" I question and wait till he looks at me. " You do know this isn't your fault? It's no one's fault, it's more my own and I should have known better." But then I'd have to live in fear that any girl I dated, any guy I met was a vampire or half vampire or anyone that served them?

" I should have known Mike I knew, the Frogs told me and the comic." Sam stops when I hold up my hand.

" Key word Sam, Comic, it's just a comic, which couldn't have told you everything and couldn't predict the future." I Say, now walking in, arm over Sams' shoulder.

" Still, when we didn't see bodies or ashes, we should have known and done something." Sam was fretting over this, Sam looks about ready to have a break down. I should have said something or done something.

" There would be no use knowing." Grandpas' voice, both me and Sam jumped nearly out of our skins... How the old man could sneak up on a vampire was unnerving and scary.

" Ahh! Grandpa can you turn off the Indian walk? You just scared ten years off me, I don't want to be fifty when I turn twenty!" Sam back to his usual dramatic self. " Wait what you mean?"

" They weren't dead, they have powers of the mind, to fool you." Grandpa takes a drink of his root beer. Great he knew they weren't dead and yet no warning.

" You knew? It's not like you couldn't said something, Not like we wouldn't believe you, not after all that happened." I said in frustration and a bit of anger, the second time grandpa knew what was going on and said time he couldn't say it was that we wouldn't have believed him.

" Nothing I could do, all it would achieve is you two not sleeping at night in fear. I couldn't have you doing that, not put you threw endless nights awake not able to sleep in fear of their return." Grandpa shakes his head and walks back into the kitchen motioning us to follow.

We sat at the table, eager to know what grandpa had to say. " So, what is it? Why not do something about them?" I asked, I had to know, why didn't grandpa say anything?

" Yea, I mean if we knew, Mike wouldn't have been... You know." Sam didn't want to say it, not out loud.

" Cause it would do no good. If you attack them, they will come for you as you saw from the last time and a second time they will finish the job and a second time they wouldn't have played around. Allowing them to take Micheal." Grandpa glances at me. " It wasn't easy, but it was better than burying another I care about."

" I used to be hunter in my youth, I cut back after I married and your mother was born. You can't be a hunter and have a family or friends, no one close to you." Grandpa was calm, but you could almost hear pain in his voice. " I clashed with the ones that claimed you and made you one of their own, back before meeting your grandma." Grandpa took a deep breath then a drink from the bottle. " I was young and a fool. I went after them, they had ignored my hunting their kind up until I successfully killed one they claimed as theirs. They didn't attack me, but anyone that I befriended started disappearing."

" In the end the one that acted as leader of the four of them approached me and told me that he didn't care what I did, if I hunted the rebels, I was useful, but touch one of his again... He didn't finish the statement I stopped hunting when I fell in love with your grandma and vowed to never return to the town. I couldn't risk endangering my family and loosing them as i have so many friends to my foolishness. " Grandpa shakes his head and takes another drink from his bottle.

" ... So, getting me was revenge against you?" Not that I didn't believe Marko, but didn't mean that was the only reason.

" Doubtful, they would have gone after your mother for revenge long before you were born." Grandpa stands and grabs another root beer from the fridge, then looks at me. " What happened to your face?"

" Girl trouble." I pulled the sun glasses off, revealing the near healed scratches over my left eye that ran up into my hair.

" Girl Trouble? looked like Cat Woman tried to claw your eye out." Sam had a look of mild worry mixed with curiosity. " Whatcha do? Try to make it to second base?" Sam then laughs with what ever freakish imagery that's floating in his mind. Sometimes I wonder about him.

" No, complicated..." I would be red if I could blush.

" Ehh, looks like your brother has got a wild cat." Grandpa says to Sam, the tone suggesting less than decent things. " Vampires in their natural state have claws, so sex can get a bit tricky."

" Eeeww vampire sex." Sam scrunches up his nose, I don't want to know what he's imaging. " Eewww Mike having vampire sex." Sam then starts making a gagging gesture.

"... " I put my sun glasses back on. I didn't want to know what my grandpa knew about vampire sex, it was awkward and unnerving.
