AUTHOR'S NOTE: So I'm still waiting on a review for this story, although I guess I get that, since the story hasn't really gone that far yet. It's about to go all over the place in this chapter though, which I'm sure you guessed after the last chapter ended, so let's get to it!

Damien knocked loudly on Aphrodite's door. Aphrodite opened the door and pulled Damien in quickly. "I swear to Nyx Damien, are you TRYING to make a scene?!" Aphrodite asked irritably. "Aphrodite, I killed him! Oh sweet Nyx I killed a man an innocent man with a son what have I become?!" Damien said all in a rush. ""Damien…" Aphrodite started. "NO you don't understand Aphrodite you weren't there you're not me I don't do this sort of thing I won't last in jail…" Damien said in a panicked rush. Aphrodite bitch slapped Damien. Damien stared at Aphrodite in shock. "You need to calm the fuck down. That was no innocent man that you fucked and killed. He was an alcoholic asshole who knocked up a girl once and doesn't give a shit about his kid. You did that little boy and his mom a great service" Aphrodite said.

"How did you know I was going to kill him? You gave me your lighter, and you said I could kill two birds with one stone, so you had to know" Damien said. "Um, hello, I have visions idiot, remember?" Aphrodite said. "You've never had a vision about me before" Damien said. "That's because I only have visions of people I'm close to, and I only just recently became close to you. Or should I say close enough for visions anyways" Aphrodite said. "Why the fuck didn't you tell me?!" Damien asked in exasperation. "Because, killing Adam was what was best for everyone. You got to fuck a guy, Jack's wish was honored, Adam doesn't have to deal with the world anymore and vice versa, and I don't have to try to convince you not to be permanent fuck buddies with Adam" Aphrodite said.

"That doesn't make killing him legal Aphrodite" Damien said. "Oh will you just fucking smoke some weed? I can tell you're sober now, and I can't even talk to you like this" Aphrodite said. The bell rang, signaling the start of first period. "I can't, I have to get to class. I think that today's the perfect day to try to be sober anyways. Maybe if I wasn't high, I wouldn't've killed Adam" Damien said. "Oh please, you can't completely blame something like that on being high on weed" Aphrodite said. "Even so, I would really like to take a break from it now" Damien said. "Suit yourself" Aphrodite said, shrugging her shoulders. "See you at lunch?" Damien asked before heading out the door. "Whatever" Aphrodite said.

Lunch time rolled around, and Damien wasn't hungry at all. But he had to eat something; he couldn't very well go from always hungry to never hungry; at least not in front of his friends. So Damien reluctantly got a bowl of spaghetti and sat down at his friends' table. As Damien sat down, everyone got quiet. "Ok, I know you're all jealous of us, but you don't have to talk about us behind our backs. Or you could at least be more subtle about it" Aphrodite said, coming up to the table behind Damien and sitting down next to him. "Since when are you and Damien an us?" Shaunee and Erin asked in unison. "Since never, I didn't mean it like that, and even if I did, we'd make a better us than you creepy incest twins or whatever the fuck you are" Aphrodite said. "You know we're not actually twins right?" Shaunee asked. "And we both have boyfriends" Erin added. "Could've fooled me" Aphrodite said.

"Anyways, don't be upset, we weren't really talking about you, certainly not negatively" Stevie Rae said. "What the fuck does that even mean? Somebody better fucking tell me why you nerds are being weirder than usual" Aphrodite said in annoyance. "You guys, Aphrodite's right. We have to tell Damien about this eventually anyways" Zoey said. "Tell me what?" Damien asked.

"Well…"Zoey started. "Jack came back!" Stevie Rae blurted out. "WOW Stevie Rae" Erin said sarcastically. "Smooth" Shaunee said in disgust. "I'm so sorry, but I've wanted to tell Damien ever since we found out, it didn't feel right to keep this from him" Stevie Rae said. "Wait. What in Nyx's name are you guys talking about?!" Damien asked in shock. "If this is a fucking game or some shit, I swear to Nyx…" Aphrodite started. "No, it's true. It appears as though Jack has come back from the dead" Zoey said. "Ironic, since we're vampyres, and humans already think we're undead" Aphrodite said. "This isn't possible!...unless…you're saying…he's a…red vampyre" Damien said, starting to understand what Zoey was saying.

"Wait, what the fuck is a red vampyre?" Aphrodite asked. "They're a different breed of vampyre that came before us. They had nearly all of the traits of vampyres you hear about in human stories. Unfortunately, the humans were scared of the red vampyres, and eventually caused them to go extinct. That's when Nyx made blue vampyres like us who are much more like humans" Zoey explained. "But it's just a legend. And even if it is true, is it even possible for a blue vampyre to die and be reborn as a red vampyre?" Aphrodite asked. "It's hard to say. Because there were no blue vampyres around at the time, we don't know much about red vampyres. The only information that we have to go on is the little bit that really old blue vampyres remember from their past lives as red vampyres" Zoey said.

"Not saying I believe you or anything, but what makes you say that Jack came back as a red vampyre?" Aphrodite asked. Zoey turned to Stevie Rae. Stevie Rae blushed. "Well, Damien hadn't been down to Jack's grave for a while, so I thought that it would be nice if I visited him and planted fresh roses on his grave" Stevie Rae said. "And?" Aphrodite asked. "And, Jack's grave had been dug up, and his casket was left open" Stevie Rae said. Damien gasped in horror. "We looked for him for a long time" Shaunee said. "An extremely long time" Erin added. "And then we found him. We have him in an empty stall in Professor Lenobia's stable. He has a red crescent tattoo on his forehead" Zoey said. "Let's go" Damien said. The bell rang. "After classes, ok?" Zoey said. "Are you serious?!" Damien asked. "Damien sweetie, we can't cut classes" Stevie Rae said. "Besides, he's in Professor Lenobia's stall. She's always there, she won't let us cut classes" Shaunee said. "Even for this" Erin added. "Fine. After classes then" Damien said.

After classes, Damien and his friends went to Professor Lenobia's stable. Professor Lenobia greeted them at the door. "How is he today Professor?" Zoey asked. "Not really any changes I'm afraid. He's very unpredictable" Professor Lenobia replied grimly. "And you're still not going to tell anyone else, right?" Shaunee asked. "Especially Neferet" Erin added with a shudder. "No, of course not. I don't trust that woman any more than you do, and I don't trust any other professors to keep their mouths shut" Professor Lenobia reassured them. "Is he still switching personalities?" Stevie Rae asked nervously. "Whoa, hold up, what the fuck do you mean by switching personalities?!" Aphrodite asked, almost sounding scared. "Jack is very unstable. It's almost like he's possessed. He'll unexpectedly switch back and forth between his old blue vampyre self and a hostile red vampyre" Professor Lenobia explained. Everyone turned to Damien. "It doesn't matter. He's my boyfriend. I need to see him" Damien said, hoping he sounded more confident than he was.

Professor Lenobia led the teens into the stable, and opened Jack's stall. "Jack, you're friends are here to see you again, and I also brought your friend Aphrodite and your boyfriend Damien" Professor Lenobia said calmly. Jack was sitting in a corner, and he turned to look at his visitors. Damien's heart dropped. Jack's beautiful blue eyes were replaced by dark red eyes, and he was filthy. "Would you like to say hi?" Professor Lenobia asked Aphrodite. "Hell no, I'm more than fine right here and not talking" Aphrodite said. "That's a first" the twins mumbled. "Can I go in?" Damien asked. "I don't know if that's such a good idea" Professor Lenobia said warily. "Maybe we should let him try" Zoey said. "Alright, but just for a minute. We'll be right here with the door open" Professor Lenobia said. Damien slowly walked into the stall.

"Hi Jack" Damien said softly, trying his best to sound normal. Jack stared at Damien. "You remember me right? I'm your boyfriend" Damien said. Jack continued to stare. "Can you talk?" Damien asked, starting to feel stupid. Jack just continued staring. "That's ok, I guess it's possible that you have to slowly remember how to do things since you've been reborn. But you can understand me right?" Damien asked. Jack just continued staring. Damien sighed. "Look, I'm sure that you have no idea what's going on, and to be quite honest, I don't really know what's going on either, but I do know that I love you, and I just want to help you" Damien said desperately. Jack just continued staring. "Come on Damien, let's go" Aphrodite pleaded. "I don't think there's much more you can do" Professor Lenobia said.

Damien sighed, and reluctantly started walking away. "Damien! Wait!" Jack called. Damien stopped dead in his tracks and turned around to face Jack. Jack's eyes were blue again. "You're right; I don't know what's happening. I only have control of myself sometimes, and other times, I don't know, I either just can't talk, or I completely black out" Jack said, sounding like he was going to cry. Damien walked towards him quickly to give him a hug. Jack's eyes grew wide and turned back to dark red. "NO, STAY AWAY!" Jack yelled, his voice sounding much deeper. Damien stopped; his eyes wide and his heart racing. "You have no idea what I'm capable of! I will rip your throat open with my bare hands and eat your esophagus if you even DARE to touch me!" Jack said violently. "Damien…" Aphrodite started warily. "It's fine. We're leaving" Damien said, walking out of the stall. Professor Lenobia locked Jack's stall, and led the teens out of the stable.

Once the teens were inside, Stevie Rae went to hug Damien. Damien let himself be hugged, but didn't hug back. "If there's anything you need…" Zoey started. Damien put his hands up. "I just want to try to forget this whole thing ever happened. Come on Aphrodite" Damien said, walking away. Aphrodite followed Damien, and Damien's friends were left feeling helpless.

Once Aphrodite and Damien got back to Aphrodite's room, Aphrodite got out her smoking supplies without saying anything. Damien could still hear Jack's low, distorted voice yelling and saying violent, twisted things in his head. After smoking a bowl, Aphrodite turned to face Damien. "Look, I know you told the herd of nerd that you wanted to just forget what happened, but I know you wanna talk about it deep down, so talk" Aphrodite ordered.

"I'm such an idiot. Why did I think that I could get him to act normally? This isn't some fucking fairytale shit, I can't just break his spell with true love's kiss or whatever other bullshit" Damien said angrily. "No, you can't. But at the same time, he DID go back to normal for a minute while you were there. Maybe he just needs some time" Aphrodite said. "Aren't you the one that said that time just makes things worse?" Damien asked angrily. "Grieving is not what Jack is going through right now" Aphrodite said. "No. I can't do this. I just can't. It's too much" Damien said, starting to cry. "So what are you going to do? Just give up on the love of your life?" Aphrodite asked. "We weren't meant to last forever. We had our run, and it was a good run, but there's nothing else left to do. Jack is nothing but a time bomb now, who knows what he might do? I'm not going to get my heart broken again. I can't deal with it, I really can't" Damien said, crying.

As Damien continued to cry, Aphrodite sat there awkwardly, not knowing what to do. So she did the only thing she knew how to do in order to help, she handed Damien her bong. Damien smoked Aphrodite's weed, and slowly the tears stopped, and Damien just felt numb.
