This is short but with the way the story flows it is best to keep it that way. I have a computer again! Unfortunately for me, I have several fan fics to write because my head just won't stop creating new stories! Welp, first things first. Finish I Bite and Of Love and Mates, then I can work on the others. I noticed I'm one of the only authors that doesn't put that I don't own anything. I think it's to be expected that since I'm on FANFICTION .COM that I don't own anything. Have fun reading!

~Alfred~

Alfred was in pain, deep pain that racked his body. Pain that made him squirm and thrash around.

His vision was fuzzy, but his hearing was fine. Sounds were in the distance, and Alfred focused on them. "He's reacting to a bite?!" Mattie sounded shocked. Alfred was wondering what they meant, he had been bitten a few days ago. Then there was Arthur… Oh, that one.

"What iz he?"Francis asked one of the questions Alfred had just been thinking.

"As far as I know, a hybrid. That might explain why Ivan is interested in him. Ivan probably believes someone might want such a rare person and be willing to pay well for it." Arthur sounds confused and worried.

Hearing Arthur's voice made Alfred want to see him. Even if this was Arthur's fault, Alfred didn't blame him. Arthur didn't know what he did would lead to this.

Even in all the pain, Alfred sensed a feeling in his gut. Acting on it, he tries to move his mouth to speak, to comfort Arthur. "Mnnn….."

"Alfred!" Matthew was the first to notice his attempts a speech.

Alfred fights with the pain, trying again. "Nnnn… Arth….so k….Sa'l rit…" Alfred couldn't fight the pain much longer but Arthur seems to have understood his message.

"Yes Alfred, it's all right. Hush now love, go to sleep. When you wake the pain will be gone, trust me." Alfred agrees, stopping his struggle with the pain that radiated through his body. Blackness takes over, covering Alfred's eyes with its hands.

"Alfred, poppet, sleep now."

~Arthur~

Alfred was still asleep, on Arthur's bed no less. He had calmed down but had a fever.

Arthur remembers his own change, painful was it was. Not to mention that his Shire was fond of torturing and taunting his prey. That's the only reason he could identify a vampire gene in blood, because he was forced to taste his own blood before he passed out.

Arthur stood facing the ocean, the salty air whipping through his hair. Due to the change in events he realized he was going to need to stock up on food sooner than normal.

After all there were now two people that depended on the food, Alfred and myself. "Sir, did you request a meeting with me?" Ludwig stepped toward his captain.

"Yes, we need to go to the nearest town with a prison." Arthur almost seemed to be talking to the night air, showing no response to Ludwig's approach.

Ludwig stiffened, and then nodded. Walking away quickly to leave Arthur to his thoughts.
