AN: After Alex's little slip of the tongue, she has to deal with the aftermath that follows, of which includes confronting her feelings about David, and a very angry Ashley.

Chapter Five: Ashley Reveals Her True Colors

"What happened?" Villo asked as they were sitting in Louis' living room.

"Ashley kissed me, and someone shouted, 'Get off my boyfriend!'" David said.

"Who said that?" Louis asked, taking a seat next to Villo.

"I know who said that, and it was who said it that was really surprising." David said.

"Who was it?" Villo asked.

"Alex." David said. Villo and Louis shared a look, and began to laugh uncontrollably. David took a seat, and waited for them to get finished.

"No really, who said that?" Louis asked him once he settled down.

"Alex did, dickhead." David said. "Guys, what am I going to do? Alex saw me kissing Ashley, and when I saw her face, she looked really upset."

"Well, from past experience, I can tell that she has feelings for you that range way beyond friendship." Louis said.

"Yeah, you ever wonder why when you guys were younger that she was always kissing on you?" Villo asked him. "She likes you, and her seeing you kiss someone else was something that brought those feelings back to the surface."

"What do you guys think I should do about it?" David asked them.

"Talk to her, buddy. This is not going away." Louis said.

"Alright. Goodnight." David said, heading into his room. Villo hopped off the couch, and looked at his friend.

"What did you mean, 'from past experiences'?" Villo asked.

"I had this same conversation with Raymond about what he should do with Maria." Louis said in a sad tone of voice.

"Wait, you don't think that they will get together, do you?" Villo asked him in disbelief.

"I do, and they will." Louis said with a smile.

Alex was pacing her room in her pajamas, wondering what she should do about what she said. She had many words for her friend, but the fact that the one that she blurted out to a lot of people was 'boyfriend'. Not only did she wonder if she meant it, the moment that she said it, it did not leave her mind.

Frustrated and flushed, she fell on her bed, and looked at a picture of them together when they were ten. David had rabbit ears, and buck teeth. That was taken at Easter, when Alex turned him into a bunny. He had to stay like that for a week. David did with a smile, because Louis and Villo hazed him hardcore when he got home. David always did things like that for her, because he really cared about her.

Then she remembered one time at school when she chased him down, pinned him in the sand, and kissed him. David said he hated when she did that to him, but in both of their minds, they enjoyed it when they kissed.

That was it. She had to go and talk to David. She knew that her family was asleep, and she had a magic rug under her bed. She pulled it out, and waited for it to float. Once it was in the air, she flew towards her friend's house.

David was sound asleep in his bed when he heard someone knocking on his window. He figured out that whoever it was would probably go away, but then he realized that he was at least 20 feet up from the ground. David walked to his window, and opened it. There he saw Alex, who nervously smiled at him.

"Hi, David, I wondered if you wouldn't mind coming with me for a little bit." Alex said sadly.

"I might as well come with you, beside, you probably woke up a lot people knowing the way you fly this thing." David mumbled.

"Wait, what's wrong with the way that I fly?" Alex asked him, crossing her arms.

David pointed to a scar on his arm.

"Please. I was young." Alex said. "Now hang on, this is going to be a little bumpy."

That is what I was afraid of. David thought.

The couple found themselves floating over the Statue of Liberty, an uneasy air between them. Alex wanted to tell her friend what was on her mind, but she was afraid of what his response was going to be. Shoot, what was she going to tell him?

"David," Alex said softly, not looking at her friend. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" David asked, looking in her general direction.

"For what I did yesterday." Alex said. "I ruined your date with Ashley, when I really didn't mean to."

David noticed the hate in her voice when she said the word 'date', but he let it go. "Don't worry about it. What I do want to know is why you said that I was your boyfriend."

"I don't know!" Alex shouted. "I saw you kissing her, and then I thought about all the times we shared kisses when we were kids. For Pete's sakes, David, we were each other's first kiss. Does that mean anything to you?"

"Of course it does." David said, trying to calm his friend down. "That means that we shared something that was special, between the two of us. When you weren't pinning me down, and kissing me, that is."

"David, was there ever a thought in your mind that we might end up together?" Alex asked him suddenly.

He sat there for a minute, and said, "All the time."

Alex, looked away, and the carpet began to float on towards David's house.

Great, I hurt my best friend. David thought. Those thoughts went out the window when Alex leaned over, and kissed him on the cheek.

Okay, never mind...

THE NEXT EVENING

From David, Alex managed to find out where Ashley lived, which was above an Italian restaurant. Alex took a deep breath, and walked in. She saw Ashley sitting at a table by herself, and when she saw her coming over, and oddly enough, Ashley smiled at her.

"Ashley, I just wanted to say that I was sorry for what I did yesterday." Alex said.

"Care to explain why you said what you said?" Ashley said, crossing her legs, and her arms.

"David and I have been close friends for a long time, and somewhere along the way, I developed feelings for him. Romantic feelings." Alex said.

"Oh, I take it that I am going to have competition for David." Ashley said with a smile. "Good, I know how to deal with competition."

Then it hit Alex. She knew that there was something about Ashley that really didn't sit right with Alex. The moment that she looked into Ashley's blue eyes, that is when it hit her.

"You...you are a vampire, aren't you?" Alex asked, fear rising in her voice.

"Yep. I am here to find a mate for myself, and your friend was the most perfect choice to help me take over New York City." Ashley said, her eyes looking more menacing by the moment.

Alex slowly rose from her seat, and made a break to the door, but before she could even touch the handle, Ashley appeared right in front of her.

"Where do you think you are going? You are going to be a lovely sacrifice for my family." Ashley smiled, her fangs showing.

Alex back away, and found herself surrounded. Before she knew it, she felt really dizzy, and was swallowed into the darkness that surrounded her...

AN: Wow. Ashley has just revealed that she was a vampire, and her true plans are going to show, which involves sacrificing Alex. Can Alex's family and David save her in time? Wait and find out!
