Jesse tapped one foot on the long, metal wall just outside of Dikay's room. He had just woken up and he seemed to have forgotten how to walk. His motions were slow, extremely slow; although five months stuck in a coma would do that to a person. The past five months were all to long for Jesse as she waited for her friend to awaken. Although, in the back of her mind, a part of Jesse cursed Dikay's timing. She knew it was jealous but she really did want more time to learn about the Doctor, alone.
After about ten minutes, Dikay walked out of his room and leaned up against the door frame. Jesse could see his knees shake a little as he stood. His eyes were black and lifeless, which was pretty common for a newborn such as him. There was not a thing changed about the boy. Appearance or personality, which was uncommon and rare. His eyes were always black, staring into the soul's of everyone. His skin was pale and nothing, not even death, could fix his gravity-defying messy hair. He was the same boy…only Jesse could see the slightest hint of red in his dark eyes. The only real difference in Dikay was his need for blood.
Jesse grabbed his wrist roughly and heaved hard. Dikay hissed at Jesse, his body tense. She drug the newly awakened vampire through the empty corridors of the bright hospital. Jesse opened a door labeled Employees Only and pushed him slightly, urging him to walk down the stairs. They down into a basement. Dikay scrunched his nose at all of the different smells coming from the underground room. Old rainwater, rusted pipes, mold, old wood, cement, and antiseptic all made his nose curl. A sweet smell entered his nostrils, blood. Jesse pulled him down the rest of the stairs to see a large pile of thirteen bodies of the victims she had killed no more than six hours earlier.
"Have it at my dear brother," Jesse said uneasily. The shock of vampire had yet to wear off on her. Jesse shut the door and leading to the stairs and leaned against the cold metal. Dikay stood with a blank expression upon his facing staring at the bodies. He then growls and jumps on the bodies draining their shed blood. Monstrous growls emitted from Dikay as he feasted. He soon finished and then he followed Jesse back upstairs.
Across the hall was the Doctor, his fingers nervously patting at his suit. He hated to stand alone in one place for a long time. The Doctor smiled at Dikay, "Well 'm glad to see you're finally awake. Jesse kept wondering 'bout you."
Dikay tsked and then turned his head away from the Doctor to look at Jesse, "Why am I not surprised?" Jesse glared at him, nope not a thing had changed within her best friend.
Dikay looked back at the Doctor and was mentally calculating what he thought about the other man. Dikay had a certain way about picking people he liked or didn't like. The Doctor seemed to be someone that Dikay didn't like… "What do you even want?" Dikay said a bit rudely. He didn't even know this man but was suppose to have a conversation with him. How rude!
A serious look passed over the Doctor's face, " 'm here to tell you about the laws."
Dikay rose an eyebrow in question, "Laws?" He repeated, un sure if he had heard correctly. Even though he knew he couldn't have with his new bat-like hearing.
After an hour passed of the Doctor explaining the rules that came with being a vampire living on Earth, they left the hospital and started to walk toward the forest clearing where they had been earlier. Sitting in the clearing near the tree line was a large, blue box. Dikay rose an eyebrow in curiosity, that had not been there before. The Doctor walked over toward the box and placed a key in the lock as if he were going to open it. He did and then walked in Jesse following him. "What the hell are you guys doing in a box?"
Jesse rolled her eyes at Dikay and grabbed his wrist again pulling him through the threshold. Dikay could not believe what he saw. Instead of being a normal, empty box it was some sort of…space ship. Dikay looked around the large room, his mouth gapped wide open. The Doctor smirked at his expression, "This is the TARDIS," he announced extending his arms a smile on his face. "Stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. T.A.R.D.I.S."
"It's a…time machine?" Dikay said in confusion. The Doctor had said everything so fast that he barely caught two words. He defiantly didn't like people who talked ninety miles an hour.
The Doctor rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Time and space."
Jesse yawned deeply, the effects of the day finally taking its toll on her. "I'm heading for bed." Since Dikay had been the hospital, the Doctor had let her stay with him until he woke up.
The Doctor nodded at her, "Night."
She nodded then hugged Dikay tightly, "Never ever do that to me again." Jesse then walked off into the depths of the shadows into an unknown location.
"Has she been hear long?" Dikay asked, anger in his voice. If there was one thing he was protective of it was his little sister.
"Well…" The Doctor rubbed the back of his neck anxiously.
Dikay glared at the Doctor then backed him up against the console, "If you hurt my little sister I swear to God I will kill you in the most painful way possible."
The Doctor nodded then walked into the darkness, "Well come on then," he said, his voice a bit nervous. "I'll show you where you can stay." They walked down long corridors, light from lanterns hanging on the wall lighting their way. The tension between the two was thick within the air. The Doctor opened the door to a small yet comfortable room. "You can stay here." He said, rolling on the balls of his feet.
Dikay nodded then walked into the room not looking at the Doctor again. He was alone, now having the opportunity to let his mind wander as he liked. He walked past a wall mirror and stared at his now permanent appearance. He was paler than before, which went perfect with his unusual, white hair. The red in his hair now showed more noticeably. His black eyes seemed soulless as he continued to examine him now ghostly reflection. Dikay placed a hand against the mirror's cool glass silently wondering if it were actually him that was being reflected.
Dikay sighed and then turned to the bed. Shivers went down his spin as he thought of what had happened last time he had been in a bed alone… He went to the closet and smiled. There was a small rail just big enough for his skinny body made of pure steel. Dikay pulled on it to test its strength. Satisfied with the results, he pulled up on the bar and then hooked his legs through it and hung down from the rail. Not only did it fix his issues with beds, it also helped increase his leg strength. With a small, satisfied smile on his face, Dikay fell into a light sleep.
Jesse sat in a large, comfortable chair her legs tucked underneath herself looking through a large pile of books. In the five months that Dikay had been asleep, Jesse had read over three-hundred different books. They helped keep her mind occupied from the thought that there was a possibility that Dikay would never awaken. The Doctor had been very generous and had helped her through in his own way so he wasn't really surprised when he found her flipping through a book she had already read.
He sits down in a chair opposite of the desk that she was sitting at. "Thought you were going to bed." The Doctor said to catch the girl's attention. The Doctor had also picked up on the fact that when Jesse was reading, it was extremely hard to break her concentration.
Jesse shrugged, "Eh I decided not to. How's Dikay?" Always worrying about her brother Jesse was.
"I don't think he likes me all that much."
Jesse smiled and grabbed a small green and gold book which was fairly thick. "Yeah, well that's Dikay for you. He's been like that since I met him." She stated as she flipped through the small book. A distant look was in Jesse's eyes as she thought of all of the experiences they had shared together. Slight tears now threatened to spill down her cheeks.
"Come here."
Jesse looked up at him in confusion then placed the book back on its place on top of the mountain of books. She walked over toward him unaware of what he was going to do. The Doctor pulled her down onto his lap. Jesse blinked and glanced back at him, if she could blush her face would be violet. He put his arms around her waist and pulled her extremely close to him. Jesse nearly stopped breathing as she felt him so extremely near to her.
A thought nagged in her mind. The memories of the nurses and security staff ran through Jesse's mind vividly making her clench. "What happened earlier with the nurses…"
"Don't worry about it Jesse," the Doctor said a small smile on his face. Usually he would be extremely angry with someone who had killed twelve innocent people but there was just something about Jesse that made him unable to. She nodded and then a large yawn over took her. "Tired?" Jesse nodded again, rubbing her eyes like a small child. He leaned back and held her in his arms as she laid her head down on his chest listening to his double-heart beat. Within seconds she was asleep.
Jesse then woke up to see that she was in her bed, the Doctor asleep next to her. She smiled at him, biting her lip to fight the urge to say something about how adorable he looked. Jesse then shook her head and went to find Dikay's room. However, he stood next to her door his arms folded against his chest. "I need to hunt, can you come?"
"Well of course I can come, can't you?" Jesse smirked at her perverted joke. Dikay rolled his eyes. "Yes, I'll go with you."
The sun was bright when they exited the TARDIS, the light shimmering through the trees. Dikay couldn't believe he hadn't seen the sun in over five months. To him it just seemed like yesterday… The sounds of pattering deer hooves make Dikay smile as he ran after them, slightly enjoying the hunt. Jesse ran quickly right behind him. They pounced on the deer and sucked the deer's blood dry. Then after a few more, Dikay felt the strangest feeling as if he were being watched.
Both Dikay and Jesse turned around to see a pack of well-toned boys, all of them having russet color skin. "Hello," they said, each of them sound menacingly. They then transformed in large wolves, each one of them growling at Jesse and Dikay.
Dikay growled at them, then Jesse. Her eyes seemed to be on fire as she glared at them. A beastly nose erupted from Dikay as he charged off toward them aiming directly for their leader.
