It was now the middle of the night, Jason's family thought that everyone was staying at Brad's tonight, which was partially true but minus Jason. The usual group was meeting to figure out what they were going to do to try and get Jason. Sienna had had enough and was now walking around the block to try and clear her head. She was so in her thought that she didn't realize but she had stopped in front of Jason's house, and there was a weird car in the driveway so she went to get a closer look. 'That kinda looks like Bianca's stuff' she thought, then she heard something from out back.
"I wish the kids wouldn't lie to my like that." Mrs. Freeman said.
"Jen you know they were just looking out for him. Don't pretend you don't know how parties work, this one just got the better of Jason. I'm just glad I could bring him home, it'll probably be better for him to sleep it off in his own bed." What? Was what Bianca saying true. As quickly as she could Sienna call Dani.
"Hey Dani, I'm sorry I'm calling this late but can you please let me in your house to see Jason." The panic in Sienna's voice made Dani instantly wake up.
"Sienna, what's wrong?" The panic stated to get into Dani's voice too.
"I sorry honey. Nothing is wrong, Jason just told me something today and I really need to talk to him about it." 'Oh thank god' thought Dani. She had learned to never under estimate any situation in this neighborhood. With that she went down stairs and let Sienna in.
"Thanks Dani, I didn't mean to scare you, it's just one of those relationship things that. Well, you know." She tried to say as calmly as possible. Dani smiled and nodded her head, then Sienna rushed to Jason's room and there he was sleeping. Tears were streaming down her face 'He's ok. He's alive, breathing, sleeping.' She tried to look if there was and sign of a wound cause he was laying on his back where he was shot. The whole thing confused her. As she was examining him, suddenly he sprung up gasping for air.
"Jason, oh thank god your alright!" She took a step back to look at his face and then she knew something was terribly wrong. "Jason. Jason! What is it, what do you need, Are you..." She was cut short but the look in his eyes. She knew this look and it didn't belong to Jason. Just then Bianca entered the room
"What did you do to him?" She said with such venom, it sounded wrong coming from her.
"I did what was needed for him to live. Or would you rather be picking out a funeral dress?" Bianca had her there. "We need to get him something to eat, and by the looks of it, quite soon." Sienna was way past thinking right now she just looked at Jason who was staring at a wall, still breathing hard.
"Okay." Sienna said simply. "Jason?" Finally he looked away from the wall and focused on Sienna, calming himself down. "Jason I was so scared!" She said flinging herself to him. He hugged her back fiercely, but something was wrong.
"Sienna I..I can't right now. Somethings wrong." He stammered. Sienna hadn't realized but she had started crying again but this time it was a happy cry.
"It's okay honey, we'll help you out." Bianca said. 'She better help him out this is all her fault. What will the council say? Should we try and keep this a secret, I don't think we can keep it very long.' So many thing where running through Sienna's mind. All the while Bianca was picking out close for Jason and throwing them his way. "Come on Jason you need dressed we need to go out." Jason, who was still staring at Sienna looked at his aunt.
"Come on hurry up we'll be lucky if we find anyone out this late." Bianca said a little agitated.
"Where are we going?" Jason said thoroughly confused. "Sienna, Bianca what's wrong with me?" Sienna just went over and hugged him tightly. Bianca was on one of her mood swings.
"You've joined the family blah, blah,blah. Now come on, Sienna help him get ready, you have no idea how confusing it is. Jason hon, come on this will make you feel better." The transition sickness was in full swing now for Bianca.
"Okay." He said simply
"Well okay, I'll leave you two to it. Oh, and I'll go inform your mom Jason."
"Bianca! You can't tell Mrs. Freeman about this, it will put her in danger!" Sienna couldn't hide her panic. Bianca just looked at at her with a smile.
"Sweetheart I don't mean that. I was going to explain our absents for the rest of the night."
"Oh, I'm sorry I just.." She let the statement trail off looking back over to Jason. "Okay let's get you ready." She tried to say it as sweet and caring as possible but Jason knew her well enough to hear the strain. With that Bianca left the room.
They just sat in the room starring at each other. Finally Jason said, "Sienna please tell me what's going on. I hear... Everything and I can see you like were out at noon and I'm hungry, like, like I can't even explain. I've never feel something like it, it's like the hunger is pulling the life out of me. And what happened today, it is the same day right? I remember running to the car and then... Nothing, just waking up to you." At that he tried to give her a small smile. "And what did Bianca mean 'I'm part of the family?'" He could now see the silent tears starting to fall once again.
"Jason." She tried to smile but there were may too many emotions to muster one up. "Today when we were running to the car, you got hit with a crossbow bolt. We didn't know until you weren't in the car. We all looked back and you were on the ground with it sticking out of back. Jason I tried to go back, I swear, they held me in the car. They said we'd go back with more people and weapons. When we told the council they said that we'd 'go back later when it had cooled off'. Jason I thought I lost you I was so worried." Sienna was about to lose it when he hugged her. "Jason I think, well, I think that your her now because she turned you."
"Has anyone heard from Sienna? I know she went for a walk and that people are following her but she's been gone for over and hour." Belle could kick herself right now. 'This is all my fault, I'm a terrible friend. If she isn't okay I don't think I could handle it.'
"Belle it's okay." Erin tried to comfort her.
"Yeah, she's got a lot on her mind. It's not like a breakup, this." Maggie motions to everything, "this is heavy. She just has to be alone for awhile. And like you said she has like three people an her tail, it would take a lot to take her." This declaration made Belle feel even worse.
"Belle please just relax, it's not your fault I told you to drive away and you where just doing what was best for the group." Brad tried to tell her.
"But I'm her best friend and I let her down, and whatever has happened to Jason and if she isn't okay that's all my fault too."
"No Belle. Sienna is okay, and we'll figure something to do about Jason." Zach exerting his leadership role, and with that everyone was silent and turned their attention to some mindless movie on TV. Not a single one of their worries had been put to rest.
"Okay so Jason this is all you have to do." Bianca said while she held on to a pretty but very drunk girl. "If I where you I'd start with the wrist, it's a lot easier to stop the blood flow if you lose control, which you probably will." She finished matter-a-factly.
"What she means is," Sienna starring daggers at Bianca, "your not practiced enough you might cut the vein open too much."
"I.. I..." Jason took a breath calming himself. "I can't do this." At that Bianca started to glare.
"Jason there is no other option, drink." She seemed less than pleased. "I will find a way to make you drink if your going to be this way."
"Please just drink Jason." Sienna pleaded. "You will feel better and then we can get back to our friends and your family. Please."
Jason just starred back. "No, I just can't." Bianca looked like she was about to slit the girls throat and force feed it to him, but before she could make a move Sienna bit into the girls neck taking a mouthful and went to Jason.
Before he know what hit him Sienna had there lips locked, sharing the blood she had drank.
It was like nothing he had felt before. It was like being drunk but better and the taste was nothing like he remembered blood to taste like. He was lost in it and after Sienna had given him all the blood she had, he still wanted more. So after kissing Sienna for a while he went to the girl, Bianca offered him her wrist and he took it and drank.
The whole seen was terrifying to Sienna but this is what he needed and she could only imagine what this must be like. Her parents had put blood in her food and drinks since she was born so when it came to actually drinking from a person it wasn't too much of a big deal, yeah the blood was 100 times better but she still had control. Jason on the other hand barely knew who we was and having blood for the first time this way was a little much. Her thoughts were interrupted by Bianca.
"That enough sweetheart, you'll hurt her if you take much more and I can't let you do that to yourself." It was then that Sienna looked at him, Jason didn't seem like he was going to stop anytime soon so she pulled him off.
"Jason come on, please come over here to me." She tried to coaxed him. Finally getting him off the poor girl, Sienna grabbed his face and made him look her in the eyes. "Jason. It's okay, please calm down." The boy she was looking at looked broke at her words. "Hey don't look like that, your my superhero remember? Now you can just play the part better." This earned her a chuckle. "Okay, good. Oh, and by the way your spending the night with me, or whats left of it. I'll never leave you again, I love you Jason." They just looked into each other's eyes searching for they were looking for.
"Yeah, Yeah vary touching. The girl will be fine I'll get her a motel room or the night so she can sleep it off. Here," Bianca said with an outstretched hand, "call a cab and get a ride home." After that they parted ways.
Back at Brad's house everyone was still vegging watching some random movie, everyone was pretty deep in thought when someone's cell phone rang. Zach answered his phone immediately.
"Where are..." He must have been cut off by the person on the other line. Everyone's attention was on Zach's phone call but even the vampire's in the room couldn't who or what the person on the other line was saying. "Yes... Yes, I know what this means... Okay I'll be there in less than five." What was Zach talking about.
"Zach who was that? Was it Sienna? Is she okay?" Belle was trying to get any information she could out of him.
"I can't say." He answered, and immediately saw everyone's hope die. "It's council business, and she'll be fine. She's probably at home now sleeping, Sienna had a rough night and she, and everyone else, is being heavily protected so trust me when I say if something went wrong we would know in the same minute it happened. Everyone would." And with that he strode out of the room.
Once out of the house he ran as fast as he could to Siena's house. 'What was she thinking. Something has to be done about Bianca. But at least they had found Jason, or what was left of him.' Zach couldn't believe his eyes there was Jason, supposedly dead, was sitting with Sienna and her parents.
When they heard a noise Jason and the Devereux's heads snapped in the direction to only see Zach starring in shock but quickly composing into his normal mask.
"I sorry to intrude but I got a call from Bianca saying to come here. She said it was urgent , that they had found Jason..." He trailed off actually taking a good look at him for the first time and now it was quite evident what Bianca had done and why they all looked like they did.
"Yes, well as you can see Zach we have this under control but I was about to call an emergence council meeting in light of the situation." Mr. Devereux said. Jason sank his head, this was way too much already and now most of his friends and their parents would hate him for breaking the number one rule.
Mrs. Devereux saw this, "Jason we don't blame you for any of this. You help save three of us today and other times too, but this isn't one of the best situations. Please don't take this personal, we can only imagine how this must be for you."
Jason looked up at Sienna's mom and tried to push out a smile and failed "Um.. Thanks Mrs. Devereux." His voice was breaking, he just couldn't control all of these emotions.
"Hey let me take you my bedroom you can get some sleep, you really need it, okay?" Sienna tried to sound happy. She shared a look with her mom that said I'm staying with him, don't even try to stop me.
"Yeah, thanks."
