Ok, sorry for the slow update, but I was very lazy and didn't have any ideas for the chapter. This story is almost close to finishing. It was a pleasure to write this. This will be about Danny's POV, and will change later. I think it is a little rushed…Anyway, let's get started.
Chapter 18: Finding out
I couldn't understand why Sam wouldn't talk to us. When the break arrived, Sam sat on another table, completely alone. When Tucker and I walked towards her and tried to sit with her, she would glare. I was very worried, wondering why she was sad. When we were in class again, I ignored almost all of it and paid attention to her. I was so focused I didn't notice Tucker was talking to me.
"Danny" he said. I shook my head and looked at him.
"What?" I asked.
"Look at your arm dude" he said, a little scared. Confused, I looked at it, then my eyes widened: I was bleeding. But the blood wasn't green…or red…it was blue. I gasped weakly, attracting Sam's attention. When she looked at the wound, she got very surprised and started breathing faster and faster. I turned and looked at her. Tucker got worried and started shaking Sam. However, she kept looking at my arm scared. So…"this" is what is scaring her I thought while looking at my arm, finally understanding and hid it, Sam relaxing and breathing normally after that. Tucker let her go.
"Sam…" I called her.
"It's nothing. Really!" she replied angrily and looked at Lancer, who was distracted enough to haven't seen what happened.
As soon as school was over, Sam flew away as fast as she could. I decided to leave her alone for a while, and walked towards my home. When I arrived and saw the floor, I got out of control for a time. I had seen Albert's blood in the floor, and I was walking unconsciously towards it, until I stopped. A smell reached my nose, and it sure was delicious. I realized it came from the blood in the floor. And the metallic taste I had on my mouth I used to dislike didn't bother me any more. I had the urge to look at my hurt arm, for some reason, and after I did, I heard a voice inside my head. If you want to survive, you have to take blood. I shook my head and ignored the voice, walking towards my room. I felt very strange and weak. I looked myself in the mirror: I was more pale than usual. Suddenly I lost control of my actions and flew outside the house, towards Sam's place: I couldn't stop myself. Just when I flew inside, through the window of her room, she wrapped me with her vines. I regained the control of my body and started struggling to get free, and feeling as scared as I always felt when she activated her powers. She then flew towards me and saw my expression, sighing and closing her eyes. I immediately stopped.
"Sam…" I said. She then opened her eyes.
"Yes…the same look…" she whispered. I looked at her, puzzled.
"What do you mean?" I asked. She sighed deeply.
"Danny…" she said while looking at the ground. "Y-you…a…how are you feeling?" she asked while looking at my wound. She did her best for not getting scared as when we where at school.
"Uh…how I am feeling…strange and sometimes unable to control my-" I was cut off when I started biting unconsciously the vines. Her eyes widened and held her head. I then recovered the control of my body.
"As yesterday…" she whispered. I just looked at her. She then make a small vine appear from the floor with small spikes all around it. She grabbed it and made a small cut on her left arm, then showed me the wound, which was slightly bleeding. My mind went crazy. Look! She's giving her blood away! Take it! The voice said, excited. I held my head.
"No!" I exclaimed and tried my best to control myself. The smell from her blood was so…delicious…
"I said no!" I exclaimed again and looked at Sam. She sighed again and hid her arm.
"Sam…what are you trying to tell me with this?" I asked while trying not to smell the blood. She then looked behind me and got scared, backing up. Confused, I turned around, but saw nothing.
"T-The…" was all she said while pointing outside the window. However, I only saw the almost dark sky. I turned back and looked at her.
"Sam…please explain me" I pleaded. She inhaled and exhaled deeply to relax and then looked at me.
"Are you scared of me?" I asked sadly and looked down. She shook her head.
"No…Not of you…" she said, confusing me more.
"Then why are you wrapping me with this?" I asked while looking at the vines. She looked behind me and sighed.
"Better earlier than never" she whispered and looked me, worriedly and sadly, then showed me again her small scratch "What do you think about this?"
"I…uh…n-nothing" I lied and looked at her sheepishly. She looked at me seriously.
"Danny…please tell me" she said. I sighed, not knowing if I would tell her or keep it a secret. She looked behind me again and her look became a worried one.
"D-Danny…tell me fast!" she told me.
"Uh…strange, going crazy if I see it" I explained.
"Remember Lancer's class about creatures?" she asked, impatiently.
"Yeah, but what it has to do with this?" I asked, curiously. She sighed and walked towards her bed, grabbing a dark blanket, then flew towards the window and covered it with the blanket.
"Well…I hope this makes it slower" she said to herself and looked at me.
"Make slower what? Sam…I don't understand you" I said honestly. She clenched her fists and looked down.
"I really want to tell you…But I don't feel brave enough to do so" she said, feeling disappointed. I smiled warmly and looked at her.
"Sam…it's ok if you don't want to speak" I said, making her shake her head.
"No Danny…You have to know the truth". She grabbed a newspaper from a table and showed it to me, pointing at a picture: it was the monster that had been attacking in the nights.
"The creature…" I whispered and looked back at her. When she looked at me, her eyes widened.
"What happens?" I asked.
"Darn…if only I had been more brave…I almost have no time…" she said to herself, then grabbed a small mirror. Her hands were shivering when she gave me the mirror. I looked at my reflection and I got surprised: the white stripe had reappeared.
"S-Sam…" I called her, nervously.
"Danny…y-you…" she started, very nervous. "A-Are…" she looked at me and got scared, backing up a little. Confused, I looked myself at the mirror once more: My eyes had turned a bloody red. I started shivering, and for some reason, I looked back at the newspaper, checking the image of the monster. It's eyes reminded of mine.
"T-The…o-one…a-at…the newspaper" she said while pointing at me. My eyes widened, and I started laughing weakly.
"Funny one, Sam" I said. However, I knew she was saying the truth, but was as scared as her to admit it.
"T-Then…explain me why the stripe is back…or the red eyes…or the black claws" she said. Black claws? I asked myself, and looked at my hands. They had transformed into white paws with big claws. Surprised, I hid them and looked at her. I sighed deeply.
"Yes Sam…I believed you from the start" I said sadly and closed my eyes. She flew towards me and started crying.
"Oh Danny…I don't want to believe on Lancer's words about vampires or werewolves being our worst enemies…I wouldn't…" she said while crying. I touched gently her head, and smiled, but said nothing. Suddenly I felt a pain in my back and started yelling. Sam couldn't do nothing but to look at me. Few seconds later, the pain stopped and I relaxed. Then looked at Sam, sadly, knowing I was almost transformed.
"Sam…I don't know how dangerous I am when the night arrives. I'm losing control of myself…so please…fly away, be safe, and leave me here wrapped so that I can't escape" I told her. She then cried a little harder and got closer to me, hugging me. I hugged her.
"No Danny…" she said very sad.
"Sam…Please. I don't want to hurt anybody, specially you. Now-" the pain all around my body didn't let me finish as I started screaming in pain again, losing consciousness.
Sam's POV
Danny had transformed again, but now I wasn't scared: I was very sad, remembering his last words: "Sam…Please. I don't want to hurt anybody, specially you"
Danny looked at me with his bloody eyes, his look telling me he wanted to bite me. I didn't have the enough courage to fly away and leave him alone, so I stayed there. He started barking loudly and biting the vines, but I didn't stop him, until, suddenly, I heard the window crash. When I looked at it, I saw Tucker with a sword in his hands.
"W-What are you doing here?" I asked, more worriedly than angrily. He looked at me.
"Saving you from this monster. I heard a roar coming from here, and so I knew you were in danger" he answered, and looked back at Danny, who had finally broken free and looked at Tucker with a dark smile. Tucker smiled back and flew towards him, swinging the sword.
"D-Don't hurt him!" I exclaimed. Tucker tackled him and looked at me, confused, but didn't talk and kept on with the fight. I was very worried, and hoped he wouldn't hurt Danny that seriously. I also didn't want to tell Tuck that our best friend was a werewolf vampire in the nights, and I didn't know why. Danny howled in pain, waking me up. When I looked up, I saw him badly bleeding, lying in the floor. Tucker was about to hit him with the sword once more, when I flew in front of Danny. Tucker stopped and looked at me angrily.
"Sam, please move!" he exclaimed. I shook my head.
"No! I won't let you!" I said and refused to move. Tuck sighed.
"I don't know why you are protecting him! He's a monster! He has attacked our city!" he exclaimed. I saw Dash flying through the window and looking at me angrily.
"Do as Foley says!" he ordered, making me get angry.
"You aren't anybody to order me around!" I yelled. He clenched his fists and flew towards me.
"I saved you yesterday from being bitten by him…and this is how you thank me?" he asked angrily, leaving me speechless. I had forgotten about that… I thought and looked at him.
"Well…if you aren't moving, then you are also our enemy" he said and punched me. I was sent flying towards Danny's lab. I got up and saw Albert and Dash in front of me. Albert started firing his blasts and Dash punching me. I did my best to protect myself against the hits, however I couldn't evade them all, and started bleeding slightly. Just when I thought I was going to get hit again, I heard a pained howl coming from behind. When I looked behind, I saw Danny. He was breathing with difficulty and shivering a little. Albert and Dash smiled darkly and flew towards him, forgetting completely of me. Danny flew above them and then towards me. I felt very weak to move a muscle. He grabbed me from the collar of my blouse and flew outside his home. Albert and Dash started chasing us, very angry. However, Danny flew very fast, and they couldn't reach us as we flew outside the city. He landed and put me down, panting heavily. I patted his head and looked at him.
"Danny…thanks for helping me" I said gently and smiled. He touched me gently with his head, and when he saw me bleeding, he backed up and closed tightly his eyes. Whenever I got closer to him, he would get away from me. I looked at my clothes covered in ectoplasm.
"Danny…you are a vampire, aren't you? I know you need this" I said and showed my clothes. He shivered a little more and shook his head.
"You need it" I repeated, looking at him more seriously. However, I was very scared and didn't know why I was telling him that. He barked loudly, and for some strange reason, I thought I understood what he said. He howled loudly, this time in pain, and ran towards me. I started shivering weakly, but didn't move or protected myself, just waited for him. When I felt his sharp fangs sinking in my shoulder, I smiled weakly, for some strange reason, and fainted.
