Morning sunlight streamed through the window, tickling Ciara's skin. Ciara lay in bed, her eye's wide awake, Ashton's strong-arm wrapped around her waist. Ciara couldn't get any sleep last night, her mind was to busy running like a hamster's wheel. Not only was she unsure with the information she got yesterday, but she was also worried about Chase, and annoyed at Drew for kissing her.

Ciara sighed for the 100th time, before peering at the alarm clock sitting on the side table. 6:30am. Giving up on trying to sleep, Ciara crawled out from Ashton's embrace before dragging her half dead body into the shower. The hot water woke her up, barely.

Ciara was already regretting staying up all night because she already knew that Cassie was going to screech at her until her ears bleed. After a warm refreshing shower, she headed to the kitchen. She got a hot coffee before deciding to get dressed, by that time Ashton was already up and in the shower. She could hear him hum a random song from the bathroom, like he always did every morning. She smiled, it was comforting to her.

Would Chase be coming into work today? Or was he in too much pain to be even able to leave the house? Ciara felt a tug in her body, to go and see him. She bit her lip and grabbed her a hair band from her dressing table, tugging her hair into a messy bun.

Just then Ashton came out of the bathroom, water droplets trailing down his stomach, a white towel wrapped around his torso. Ciara remember when she had first seen Ashton without his shirt on, she had felt liked she'd pass out from the sight with bliss, but now she was used to it.

"More work today?" He asked while walking over to her, water dripping from his hair.

"Yeah, but you know that already." She said with a small smile.

Ashton stopped so he was standing in front of her. "What time will you be back?" He asked before placing a gentle hand on her cheek. Ciara frowned after he had shouted at her last night, he kept asking questions and it was starting to annoy her.

"I don't know." She glared at him before looking at the alarm clock. 7:00am.

Ciara picked up her bag from the dressing table before leaving the bedroom, grabbing her car keys from the kitchen. She heard Ashton sigh, she didn't want to be in the apartment if Ashton was going to keep asking questions.

Ciara took a deep breath before pushing herself out of her car door. The morning sun was leaving a warm glow across the floor, the sky a beautiful blue and now and then a bunch of silhouetted birds would fly across. It was relaxing and nice for a summer morning.

Ciara smiled, forgetting about how Ashton had been that morning, she soaked up the sun on her flawless complexion. The sound of a car parking brought her out of her daze. Ciara turned around to see Chase slowly stepping out of his car.

"Chase!" Ciara rushed over to him. "What are you doing here? You should be in bed!" She shouted in a panic. Chase's usually tan skin was gradually growing back, but there were dark circles under his eyes and his eyes looked bloodshot.

Chase smiled and shrugged. "I'm fine, I'm sure the make up department will be able to cover all this." He waved his hand in front of his face, referring to the bloodshot eyes and dark circles.

"What...What about your stomach?" Ciara asked with concern, tugging on her bag strap.

"It's fine, honestly. Will you stop with the worrying? Remember I'm a big bad wolf who can handle a little pain." He winked and chuckled before putting his arm around Ciara's shoulder and leading them into the building.

Except it didn't look like a 'little pain', Ciara thought, it had looked worse, and Ciara could only hope he wasn't actually lying to her.

They walked into the set, today it was the black and red silk bed set. Ciara groaned and detached herself from Chase's arm before dashing towards her dressing room. She threw her bag down on the dressing table, and walked over to the clothes rack. A post-it-note was stuck to a zip up back that probably had clothes in it.

Something different today, honey, no complaining just put them on. I'm won't be in, I have work to do. I swear if I hear you've been stressful for the new photographer I am going to kill you...Brutally.

- Cassie xoxo

Ciara frowned at the post-it-note. New photographer? What the hell happened to the other guy? Shrugging her shoulders she threw the post-it-note in the bin before unzipping the bag, only to close it back up again.

Ciara choked, her eye's wide. She wasn't sure what was worse, the clothes or the fact the clothes had a pair of handcuffs with it. Handcuffs? Who puts handcuffs with a set of clothes? Ciara had a feeling this was the photographer's idea. Ignoring what had said on the post-it-note.

She stormed out of her dressing room and into the set. Not caring who, Ciara grabbed the back of an innocent bystander, pulling them towards her, the person let out a yelp of surprise.

"Where's the photographer?" Ciara demanded.

"Urm...That way." The girl pointed towards the set and at a young man holding a camera. Ciara let go of the girl and rushed over towards him. Handcuffs? I'd rather eat my finger, Ciara scoffed.

"Excuse me, are you the photographer?" Ciara asked, glaring at the young man, hoping to burn holes through his head. He has dark raven hair and dark, almost purple (if that was even possible), blue eyes. He had a couple of freckles splashed across his face, a pair of modern looking glasses perched on top of his nose. He looked cute and shy, but the smirk of his face said 'nope, i aint shy'.

"The name's Raven, and how may I help you?" He jumped from the set stage and landed with thump on to the floor before sitting down on the edge of the set stage.

"Handcuffs? I am not wearing those." Ciara spat and stepped closer, trying to make him feel imitated. It obviously wasn't working because he smirked again and shrugged.

"They add a little spice, don't you think?" He crossed his arms, camera still in his hands.

"No, they don't. I am not wearing them, so you can shove them up your ass if you think I'm wearing them."

"Ooh, that sounds painful," He chuckled before standing back up, Ciara realised that he was actually taller than her, he looked down at her through his glasses. "You will wear them, or I will kick you out." He smiled sweetly even though he had just said a threat.

Ciara glared at him and he patted her head before walking past her. Ciara groaned and almost stomped her foot on the ground like a little child, but then she realised that was immature. Ciara looked over at the photographer, Raven, who was talking to Drew.

She liked the other photographer, James, he maybe bossy but he seemed much nicer than this dude. Groaning Ciara stomped to her dressing room and quickly put on the outfit and grabbed the handcuffs before, again, storming out of her dressing room. She was to annoyed to even think about picking up her dressing gown.

She walked over to Raven and grabbed his hand and slammed the handcuffs into his strong hand.

"Oooh, someone's a little peachy today." He smirked at her before turning around. Well...That went better than she thought it would go. Ciara smiled feeling accomplished and walked to the set, where Chase was sitting on the bed with his head between his leg.

"Hey there, you ok?" She asked, worried he was in pain again.

His head shot up from between his legs and he forced a smile. "I'm fabulous."

Ciara didn't believe it but she shrugged it of knowing that if she kept asking her would just start to ignore her. Drew stepped onto the set, avoiding eye contact with him, Ciara felt chills rise up through as she remembered his sharp-pointed fangs...and his cold lips pressed against her. Stop it.

She shook her hand, removing the frown on her face and turning it into a smile. "So, have you seen Dakota lately?" She asked Chase and sat next to him, her hands sinking into the soft fabric.

"No, I haven't actually, you should ask Drew seeing as he was the one sucking her neck." Chase glared at Drew, who had gone stiff and was now glaring down at the floor trying to act like he didn't hear.

"That's not very nice." Ciara said but then shrugged considering Drew hadn't been very nice to her lately, so she didn't understand why she was defending him.

Chase shrugged and stretched his arms, only to wince in pain and bring his arms back in.

"You said you were ok!" Ciara cried out and reached for him, but Chase recoiled from her touch.

"I said I was fine, just leave it, ok?" Chase demanded at Ciara before standing up and heading away from her.

If Ciara had any say in it she would send Chase home, but she knew Chase wouldn't want that, he's to stubborn. She sighed hopelessly, and cracked her fingers with stress.

"What's up with him?" Drew asked, he was standing in front of Ciara.

"Just leave it." Ciara pushed past him.

"I was only asking." Drew rolled his eyes before walking back to where he was standing.

As Ciara was about to follow Chase someone shouted that it was time for the shoot, she shrugged her shoulders, Chase had to come over here anyways.

Raven, (what kind of name was Raven anyways? It sounded like a porn star name) clapped his hands and smirked, camera in his hand. "Okay, Ciara on the bed, laying down on your side. Chase...Where's that idiot?" Ciara scowled, how dare he call Chase an idiot.

"Here." Chase's voice broke through the crowd it sounded strained.

"You lay behind Ciara, head laying on her shoulder. Drew...Hmmm..you grab hold of her legs as if you're dragging her towards you. You all got that? Kay? Chop, chop then." He clapped his hands again and started talking to a woman holding a piece of paper, waiting for us to get into the position.

Ciara layed down on the soft bed, as told, Chase climbed onto the bed behind her, his big hand resting on her waist and his face pressed against her neck, she could feel his warm breath tickling her neck. Ciara felt Drew's hand lay across her thigh and his other hand wrap around her ankle. She shuddered at the thought of a vampire being near her flesh.

Ciara also noticed that Drew's hands were colder than Chase's. Either that was a vampire trait or Chase was naturally warmer. She'll have to ask later, when she had the time.

"Perfect!" Raven, lifted up his camera and started snapping pictures, every now and then asking them to move into a different place. On the 5th pose, Drew had gone to get himself an energy drink. It was now just Ciara and Chase. Chase was lying gently on top of her, except he looked like he was in serious pain.

"You're so not okay." She stated, after this pose she was gonna force him to go home.

"Shut up." He growled, causing Ciara to flinch.

"Come on, man, stop looking so stiff." Raven shouted as he snapped another picture, again Chase growled.

Ciara shifted underneath Chase, her leg was starting to go extremely numb, she couldn't even feel it. Heck, was it even there? As she shifted again, Chase growled. Ciara's head shot up to look at him, but gasped in shock.

His..His eye's were a pulsing gold mixed with a swirling green. They didn't look human at all, they looked like...animals eyes. She gasped in fear and instantly Chase groaned out in pain and rolled of off her, until he fell of the pain, shouting out in anger.

"Chase!" Ciara shot from the bed and onto the floor, next to him. She lightly touched his shoulder, but took it back as quick as a flash. His skin had burnt her, where she had touched his shoulder was a red, inflamed hand print. Her hand print. She did that? But how?

"Stay away!" Chase roared.

"Ciara!" Drew was by her side in a second.

"I said stay AWAY!" He roared even louder if that was even possible. His muscles clenched in sweat.

"What's wrong?" She asked frantically, her eyes searching his body for a source.

"My-My stomach." Chase said through strained teeth.

Before Ciara could even react, Drew leaned forward and lifted up his shirt, beads of sweat covered his stomach. A bandage was covered over where he was hurt, redness surrounded it, it looked angry and painful. Ciara gulped and reached forward.

"Don't touch me!" Chase shouted.

"I think you should leave, Ciara." Drew looked at her with pleading eyes, he actually looked concerned for Chase.

All of a sudden a hand shot out, and grabbed hold of her shoulder. Chase. She screamed out, her skin started burning. "No." His voice growled deeply into her ear. Fear rushed through her, that didn't sound like Chase, he sounded like an animal.

The burning feeling on her skin was getting worse, she tried to pull away but Chase had a strong grip on her.

"Let her go!" Drew shouted with anger.

"Mine." Chase growled, his hand tighting around her stomach.

She couldn't breathe, he was squeezing the air out of her. Please let go, please, she pleaded. Tears started forming in her eyes.

"Mine." and then a searing, ripping pain exploded in her neck, she screamed.

"NO!" Drew snatched Ciara with a crushing speed. Ciara cried out in pain, her neck felt like it was on fire. Literally on fire, as if someone had pour lava across her skin, just to watch it sizzle and burn.

From behind her she could hear Chase snarling, a sob rippled from her lips. What was wrong with him? Was this from his injury? All of a sudden she could feel warm wetness slip down her throat, her head growing dizzy-ier and dizzy-ier, it was like she was drunk, the world was starting to spin and fade into darkness. Her stomach doing flips.

She felt her body being pulled up from of the floor, she could hear Chase struggling against someone, his teeth snapping together. "No! Mine!" Chase yelled with fury.

No, that wasn't Chase that was an animal, and for once Ciara felt scared, scared that he was a werewolf. He could probably snap her neck in seconds.

"Ciara...look...me." Someone was trying to speak to her, but who? She felt herself being layed down on the floor...or a couch? She wasn't sure, but she knew she was laying down otherwise she wouldn't be able to see the ceiling...Or maybe she had fallen to the floor.

Drew's head popped into her line of vision, he was looking down at her with extreme worry, fear and anger. Was he angry at her? She wasn't sure, her mind felt dizzy and clouded.

"Ciara, don't fall asleep." He commanded, his hands stroking the side of her face.

Don't fall asleep...Don't...Fall...Asleep...Don't...Fall...Don't...Her minded slowly drifted from the world and into dream world. Becoming oblivious to Drew's yells.

DREW'S POV

Shaking her was not going to get her to wake up, she had already fallen into a deep sleep. Deep red, warm blood oozed from the bite in her neck. That bastard. Drew growled, his fangs elongating from anger. What did Chase think he was doing? Biting Ciara? Anger surged through him, he wanted to kill him.

Chase was growling and snarling, he was still struggling against some of the crew members, thank god they were apart of the supernatural world, otherwise this would be extremely hard to come up with a cover story.

"Drew! We need your help!" Someone yelled. Drew didn't want to leave Ciara's side, but having no choice, Drew grabbed ahold of a random crew member and told them to keep and eye on Ciara and clean up the blood.

Drew rushed to the set, to see Chase still struggling in pain and anger. His wound was an angry red, as if it was on fire. Drew recalled Ciara touching him only to jump back from being burnt. Why?

"Blood, flesh, death, maim." Chase was chanting, breathing heavily through his nose. He screamed in pain again, his eyes flashing from gold to green. "No, no, no." He was twisting and turning.

"Chase! Chase, you need to fucking stop!" Drew yelled and crouched down at his side.

"I don't...The blade...stomach." Chase struggled to get his words out. "The blade, its..it's burning...Get. It. OUT!" He howled in pain.

Drew frowned, the blade from that hunter (actually they weren't sure who that person was) was causing this? Drew ripped of the bandage for Chase's stomach and gasped. The blade was pulsing gold and silver, his blood was pooling out from the hot, angry wound.

Drew reached forward and digged his hand into the wound, reaching for the blade. The blade was hot, causing his hand to sizzle and burn. Ignoring the pain, he slowly pulled out the blade, screaming internally from the pain. The blade started to cut through his hand, intensifying the pain, he tugged harder until he yanked it out. Chase screamed out in pain, panting.

Instantly Drew threw the blade from his hand and sent it flying through the air.

"Well...It looks like someone isn't having such a good day." Raven was standing over them with a smirk across his face.

Drew fought the earge to leap for him and snap his neck, this guy had been an ass all day, and Drew had had enough of him already.

Chase's howls of pain had finally stopped, he layed there panting, trying to get his breathing back to normal. Sweat dripped down his face, his eyebrows pushed together in pain.

"What the hell was that?" Drew asked.

"I have...no idea." Chase gulped of air. "The blade, I think...I think it has some kind of magic...or maybe a poison. I don't know."

"What actually happened to you?"

Chase thought hard and long, before answering. "I...don't know. I felt it in my stomach and it just started to burn, I lost control...It was like it was forcing me to Change...but in a brutal way...I tried fighting it...but...I just couldn't. And then I felt a strange impulse to..." He trailed off and then realisation hit him.

"Did...did I just fucking bite Ciara?" He yelped, his eye's going wide with fear.

No one answered him, they just looked at him unevenly. Drew thought the earge to growl, yes, he thought, you bit her you fucking idiot. Jealously rippled through him...Jealous? Why was he feeling jealous?

Chase was still waiting for someone to answer him. "Please don't...tell me she passed out?" Again no one answered him, which caused him to start cursing. "No, no, no, no." Chase was panicking.

"What?" Drew asked.

"I...marked her." He gulped.

...Motherfucker!

Avery Collins - all in good time. Aww damn, I'm failing at this love triangle aren't I?

IvoryPhoenix19 - Oh good, good. Wouldn't want you to have grey hair forever. Damn, I was hoping to get people to feel torn between Chase and Drew, I'm struggling with the love triangle but now that we're getting to the good stuff, maybe, just maybe I can change people's minds. Shhh, Ashton is going soon, he's like a big fat wall, cock-blocking my plot. Good, at least someone thinks my attempt at trying to make him funny is laughable.

AlexandraSterling41 - Your wish is my command

Fyre Nightshayde - Yes ma'am!

purple halo - oooooorrrr this could be my way of getting rid of him.

VampirePrincess4Ever - everyone is. You aren't alone. and WOO, I'm glad you like it ^.^
