Would just like to give a massive thank you to LVCEBREROS for the help you gave me. She is the one that wrote the more violent scenes. This chapter is definitely not the best for someone who hates violence and/or has a weak stomach. But i hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
"Museum's are so boring." Sam groaned as she, Carly, Millie, Gabe and Freddie sat in the Shay apartment, all standing in the kitchen.
"It won't be that bad. Just think about the ham you'll probably get after it." Carly said and Sam sighed, leaning against the bench.
"You alright Freddie? You look kinda tired." Millie said and Sam turned to see Freddie snapping out of whatever trance he had been in.
"Huh?" He asked and Sam sighed.
"You have another nightmare?" Sam asked and Freddie nodded.
"What are your nightmares about?" Carly asked.
"About some black figure murdering this man and woman in the museum. My stomach is sort of churning because of it since it was in the old artefacts room of the museum we're going to today." Freddie said and Sam grabbed his hand.
"It's just a nightmare. Nothing bad will happen today. Except the fact we're going to a boring museum." She said and Freddie half smiled, squeezing her hand.
"I just have to ask this, but has anyone else noticed Cassie and Danny acting weird lately?" Gabe asked a moment later and Millie frowned.
"Actually i have noticed that. Whenever someone walks into a room they stop talking and they always make sure they sit next to each other wherever they sit." Millie replied.
"Maybe they're in love." Carly said and Millie and Gabe looked at each other before they heard Freddie suck in a sharp breath, turning to look at him to see him rubbing his back.
"You alright?" Sam asked and he nodded.
"Yeah. Just a muscle lock or something. I'll be fine." Freddie replied, the look on his face showing his pain.
"I can massage it for you if you want." Sam said and he shook his head.
"I'm fine. Really." He said with a smile, but Sam knew it was fake.
"So is this all of us or is Gibby joining us?" Millie asked and Carly shook her head.
"This is all of us. Freddie, would you mind driving us? You are the only with a license." Carly said and Freddie nodded.
"Sure. I'm just gonna go and grab my car keys. I left them on my desk in my room." Freddie said and Carly nodded, the four watching Freddie leave the apartment and go back into his.
Once in his room, Freddie grabbed his keys, but stopped when he saw the yellow folder that held his fathers will hidden under a bunch of other papers, an image of the crash coming into his head, that image soon being replaced by the nightmare and a chill ran down Freddie's back.
"It's just a dream. Sam's right. Just a dream." He told himself before he took a deep breath and then left, locking the front door behind him and then going into the Shay apartment and grabbing his bag.
"Let's get going so we don't get caught in traffic." He said and Millie, Gabe, Sam and Carly all nodded, continuing their conversation as they headed down to the lobby.
When Freddie pulled up at school, the teacher Ms Miles was standing next to the bus talking to one of the students, everyone going to the museum scattered around the front of the school talking while they waited to get onto the bus.
"I think there's a storm coming. The sky looks black." Millie said as they got out of the car.
"Nothing unusual then." Sam said, going over to Freddie and grabbing his hand as he locked the car door.
"I wonder what exhibits we'll be forced to look when we get there." Gabe said as they walked over to the bus.
"Well, I'm pretty sure the artefacts room is closed because someone tried to steal something a few days ago and the Egyptian exhibit is closed for renovations." Freddie said and Sam looked up at him.
"You're a nerd you know?" She said and he rolled his eyes, a smile playing on his lips.
"I love you too Puckett." Freddie said, pecking her lips before turning back to the others.
"I wonder if we'll be split into groups or not. We split off in groups at my old school." Millie said and Gabe turned to her.
"And it ended when 2 of the groups got lost." He said and Millie nodded in remembrance. A moment later as the 5 teens were talking, Freddie noticed a friend of his from fencing club, Chris, walking up the path with Bianca, the two both looking as if they were talking with serious looks on their faces.
"I didn't know Chris had a sister." Carly said, having noticed them too.
"He doesn't." Freddie said frowning and Millie and Gabe glanced at each other, watching as Bianca and Chris split and Chris walked over to the group. Chris had brown hair and hazel coloured eyes and he was wearing a blue and white jacket with a navy blue t-shirt underneath with 3 buttons, 1 undone, and denim jeans, a leather strip around his neck with the pendant hidden under his shirt.
"Morning guys." He said when he reached the 5.
"Hey. Was she your sister or something?" Sam asked and Chris looked back for a moment and turned back smiling.
"I don't have a sister. She's my cousin. My parents told me i had to make sure she got to school on time for the first few weeks until she got used to the timetable." Chris said and Sam nodded, looking up at Freddie who was frowning but down at the ground.
"You alright there Freddie? You look a little off." Chris said a moment later and Freddie shook his head.
"It's nothing. I just have a bad feeling about today is all." Freddie said.
"Honestly, i do too." Chris said.
"Nothing is going to happen. Just chill out." Sam said and Freddie sighed, wrapping his arm around her.
It was half an hour later when people were finally allowed to board the bus and Sam could see that as the bus started up Freddie got nervous.
"Hey. It'll all be okay. Nothing bad is gonna happen." Sam told him and he sighed.
"I just can't shake it. But you're probably right." Freddie said and Sam wrapped her arm around his neck, turning her body slightly to face him, kissing him for a moment before pulling away.
"Who told you to stop?" Freddie asked jokingly with a smile and Sam rolled her eyes before kissing him again, his arms going around her waist.
"Get a room." Gabe said over the seat and Sam lifted her hand and slapped the back of his head, her lips staying connected to Freddie's.
"Okay. I want you all on your best behaviour today. Touch or break anything and you will be held responsible, not me. This is your first and final warning. Now exit in an orderly fashion and wait inside of the lobby. Do NOT wonder off." Ms Miles said when the bus pulled up in front of the museum a good 45 minutes later because of traffic and everyone got off of the bus quickly, stretching their legs and then entering the lobby, people fighting for a seat.
"I'm already bored." Sam said and Carly sighed.
"You'll just have to deal with it a few hours and then you can have you ham." Carly said.
"You're lucky that ham makes me do things." Sam said and Carly smiled.
"Hello students. My name is Jessica Brynn and i will be your tour guide today. I advise you to not touch anything as you will be held responsible and will have to pay for the cost of repairs and they will not be cheap. Also, on the left side of the second floor there are renovations going on so no one is allowed in there and the artefacts room was broken into so that room is closed to public for now." Jessica said after a few minutes, having walked up and get the kids to group together.
"What got stolen?" One of the other students asked and Jessica smiled.
"It wasn't actually stolen, but it was almost. It was an ancient wooden bottle found somewhere deep in the forests of this country. It had a symbol carved on the front and inside were unrecognisable traces of venom. They're doing more tests on it now as we have more advanced equipment, but a lot of people believe that it is the venom of a vampire because traces of human saliva were also found in the bottle." Jessica said.
"But vampires don't even exist." Another student laughed.
"Or do they? They could be hiding in plain sight and nobody will ever know." Jessica said and everyone looked at each other, Gabe, Millie, Freddie and Sam all looking at each other in a slight panic.
"Alright, let's get moving. And remember, don't touch anything." Jessica said before walking off, the class following closely behind.
"What if that really is vampire venom?" Millie asked in a whisper.
"Then we're screwed." Gabe replied
For 20 minutes the class walked around and listened to Jessica, people half paying attention to what was being said and half talking amongst themselves.
"How long are we gonna be here for?" Sam asked Carly who just sighed.
"We've been here for 20 minutes. You have a long way to go yet. Just stop thinking about it and it'll go by quicker." Carly said and Sam sighed, turning to Freddie and frowning when she saw he looked slightly pale.
"Are you okay?" Sam asked and Freddie looked down at her.
"What? Oh. I'm fine." Freddie replied and Sam put her hand gently on his back, rubbing her hand slowly up and down and watching as his eyes closed and his head dropped.
"That feels nice." He said and Sam raised an eyebrow, not stopping rubbing his back for a good few minutes, trying not to laugh when he made a soft purring sound.
"You still don't look good. Are you sure you want to go on?" Sam asked when Jessica had started walking again and Freddie nodded, looking slightly annoyed that Sam had stopped rubbing his back.
"I'm okay. Really. I'm just gonna go to the toilet though. I'll be back in a few minutes." He said and Sam nodded, watching as he walked back the way they had come from.
"Is he alright?" Chris asked and Sam shrugged.
"He's been having some bad nightmares lately. He probably just remembered them or something." Sam replied.
"When you were rubbing his back, was he purring?" Chris asked and Sam raised her eyebrows.
"You heard that? I barely did." Sam replied and Chris shrugged.
"I have good hearing is all." He said before turning back to face Jessica.
"Does your mother clean out your ears like Freddie's mother does?" Sam asked jokingly and Chris chuckled.
"She does that? Wow." He laughed.
"She used to. She stopped after his dad died." Sam said and Chris's smile faded.
"I heard about that. Did he really see the crash?" Chris asked and Sam nodded.
"I was with him at the time. He was in mainly shock for a while but at the funeral it truly hit him and he lost it." Sam replied.
"How is he doing about it now?" Chris asked.
"A lot better." She replied and Chris gave a small smile.
"That's good." He said and Sam nodded, both falling silent and just following after Jessica.
In the bathroom, Freddie breathed heavily as he gripped onto the basin, the pain in his back almost unbearable. It had hurt a lot since the nightmares had started, but nothing like this and it was making him worry about whether or not he should tell someone about the sudden appearance of the tattoo on his back.
Freddie stood at the basin for a good 10 minutes before the pain started to die down and he took a deep breath, calming himself down.
"I'll tell Pete tonight. He'll know what to do." Freddie told himself as he stood up properly. However, just as he went to turn to head for the door, an intense pain hit him in the back and it all went black.
A large man in his early forties walked into the bathroom and went over to the sink, beginning to wash his hands.
As the water ran, the man sensed something was wrong, like he was being watched. It was a public restroom but something felt wrong.
He looked up at the mirror in front of the sink only to see a figure in black standing a few feet behind him. The startled man turned around quickly, the figure not moving from where he stood.
"Geez, you scared the hell out of me." The man replied. The figure in black was wearing a hoody over his head and had his head down, remaining silent. The man was put off by the demeanour of the figure.
"Are you all right?" The man asked and the figure in black breathed heavily in reply, it sounding almost like a low growl. This worried the man and he went to make his way out of the bathroom.
"Let me go get someone." The man said. As the man went to exit the room however, he found the figure standing in front of him. The man's eyes widened in horror as he saw the figure's face, a sight that made his blood run cold.
"Oh god. Oh god, please no."
The figure sharply grabbed him by the neck and the man struggled to breathe as the figure had a vice like grip around his neck. In one fluid motion, the figure in black bit down on the man's neck, spilling blood on the bathroom wall.
"Where is he? It's been almost half an hour since he left." Sam told Chris and Millie and Chris instantly walked up to Jessica.
"Excuse me but one if our friends has gone missing. He went to the toilet about half an hour ago and he still hasn't come back." Chris said and Jessica sighed.
"Alright. Let's go back to where we were when he left the group and see of we can find him." Jessica replied and Chris nodded, waiting a moment for Jessica to tell everyone what was going on before heading off in the direction of where they had last seen Freddie.
"Okay. Chris and Gabe, you two come with me to the men's bathroom. We'll see if he's in there and then go from there." Ms Miles said when they had stopped and the two boys nodded, following the teacher down the hall to the bathroom, watching as she opened the door and let out a blood curdling scream.
"His neck. It was like it had been ripped open." Ms Miles shakily told the police 15 minutes later down in the lobby, Millie, Gabe, Chris and Sam standing in a corner, Carly over the other side of the room with Brad and Wendy.
"That poor, poor man. Freddie was right. Something bad did happen." Millie said.
"Where is he? He isn't answering his phone." Sam said in a panicked voice and Chris put his hand on her shoulder.
"We are going to find him. Don't worry. But i think first up we need to point out the elephant in the room." Chris said and Gabe and Millie crossed their arms, nerves showing on their faces.
"What are you talking about?" Gabe asked.
"Don't play dumb. I know that that man was murdered by a rouge vampire and that you both are vampires, Freddie too." Chris said quietly and Sam's, Gabe's and Millie's eyes widened.
"How did you know that?" Sam asked and Chris sighed, closing his eyes for a second before opening them to show bright red eyes.
"Oh my god." Millie said in shock and Chris sighed, his eyes going back to normal.
"Unlike you, i was born into a vampire family so i know a whole lot more about vampires then you do. I know what a crazy vampire attack looks like and whoever did that has most likely taken Freddie hostage because he saw something he shouldn't have." Chris said.
"What do we do? We have to find him." Sam said and Millie grabbed her hand.
"We will. Just keep trying to get ahold of him. Maybe he's hiding somewhere and doesn't want to make any noise." Millie said and Sam gave her a look before pulling her phone out anyway.
"Who exactly told Sam about vampires?" Chris asked a moment later.
"Freddie did. My brother also knows." Millie replied and Chris nodded.
"Right now let's focus on stopping whatever is in the building and saving as many lives as possible." Gabe said and Chris looked around for a moment.
"Maybe they got something on camera. Lets try and find all of the security cameras and see what we can find." Chris said, Millie, Sam and Gabe all nodding and then following him to the stairs, hurrying up to the second floor, all hoping Freddie was just hiding somewhere and not in danger.
Somewhere else in the museum, where the renovations were being done in the Egyptian display, three museum workers were tasked with taking down the exhibit. The three young men were in their early twenties: one of them had short blond hair and green eyes, the second man had dark brown hair and dark brown eyes and was the shorter of the trio and the third man was an African American with hazel eyes. The three of them were having a jovial conversation as they worked.
"You're serious?" The blond man asked the shorter man with a laugh.
"Don't start, Kyle!" The shorter man told the blond man.
"Lighten up, Jasper. We're just messing with you." The African American said to the shorter man. "It's fine that you and Jessica go antiquing on the weekends. Lots of guys do stuff they don't like to make their girls happy."
"It's not just that. I think Jessica might be the one." Jasper told them.
Kyle climbed down from a ladder and walked over to Jasper "You said that about Kelly, Amy, Maggie... and Marlena."
"I get it, I have a lousy track record with girls but I think it's different." Jasper told him as he pulled out something from his pocket. "I got this to prove it." He had pulled out a small box that he opened to reveal a moderately sized diamond engagement ring.
"No. You're not-" Kyle said.
"I'm going to ask Jessica to marry me." Jasper replied.
"Congrats man." The African American man said as he offered Jasper a bro hug.
"Thanks, John." Jasper said while John went to climb the ladder.
"So you're going to propose?" Kyle asked his friend.
"Yeah. Next week is our two year anniversary. I'm going to ask her after we get back from dinner at BF Wang's." Jasper replied.
"Wow. I'm really surprised. If you think she's the one, then I'm happy for you." Kyle said.
"Thanks." Jasper said.
"Just don't tell Yvette. Last thing I need is for her to get any ideas." Kyle said.
Jasper just shook his head as he picked up a heavy display. "Give me a hand, would ya?"
Kyle shrugged and helped Jasper pick up a pillar made of hollowed out plywood.
"Let's get this done quickly. Lilah and I have plans to go to the movies," John called down from the ladder as he walked onto a painter's scaffold.
"All right, John. We're moving as fast as we can." Kyle replied. Jasper just laughed until he sees a figure in the darkness partly obscured by another scaffolding that had a sheet around it. "Guys, got company."
Kyle turned around and John looked down from the scaffold to see the figure in black partially concealed by the sheet.
John climbed down from the scaffolding and stood next to Jasper. "Think he's with a tour group?"
"I don't know." Jasper stated, visibly frightened.
"Hey, buddy, you lost?" Kyle asked. The figure remained silent. He walked over to the scaffolding. "You deaf? I'm talking to you?"
Kyle pulled back the sheet to find that no one was there. Jasper and John stood there nervously.
What they failed to see was that the figure in black was standing behind them and before anyone could move, he grabbed John by the neck and with one swift motion brutally snapped his neck. Jasper backed away in abject horror and yelled out which caused Kyle to quickly turn around. He saw a small shovel on the ground and picked it up. The figure in black menaced Jasper and went to attack him but is struck in the back of the head, the blow only managing to annoy the figure who turned to face Kyle.
Kyle held up the shovel in defence. "Jasper, get out of here! Go get help!"
Suddenly, the figure in black snatched the shovel from Kyle's hand and his eyes widen in horror but before he could react, the figure in black took the shovel and swung it at Kyle's midsection. Kyle looked down in shock and saw his entrails spill out from his open stomach.
Kyle looked up as a large amount of blood oozed from his mouth. He slumped to the ground dead at the figure's feet who knelt down and used his hand to wipe some of the blood that came out of Kyle's body and pooled in front of him. The figure licked the blood off the floor from his fingers, sounding animalistic in nature.
Jasper slowly tried to creep out of the room but tragically, he kicked a metal bucket on the ground, the sound catching the figure's attention and sealing Jasper's fate. Jasper went to run but the figure leapt on top of him, pinning him to the ground. Jasper tried to get up but the figure overpowered him, making it so he couldn't budge.
Jasper looked up at the figure and looked into the figure's face, into his eyes. He saw fangs. There was also something familiar to the figure's face, like he had seen him somewhere before.
"Wait, you're-"
Before finishing his sentence, the figure swiftly bit down on Jasper's neck. Jasper's pained screams are the last thing heard as the figure attempted to drain him dry.
"Jasper, Kyle, John, you guys in here?" A woman's voice called and the black figure pulled away from Jasper's neck, growling before disappearing out of the area.
"Jas- oh my god!" The woman screamed when she walked in, Jessica being the woman. Racing over to Jasper, she quickly checked his pulse to find it weakly beating and she quickly dialled 911 as tears began to roll down her cheeks.
"Please Jasper. Please don't die on me." Jessica said quietly, grasping Jasper's hand tightly and refusing to look back at her mangled friends behind her.
"That's 4 people dead. Where is Freddie?" Sam asked 15 minutes later after the ambulance had rushed Jasper and Jessica to hospital and police had taped off the areas where the deaths had happened.
"Sam, you have to stay calm. You must." Millie said holding her shoulders, them and Gabe and Chris on the other side of the building, having quickly moved to try and find Freddie before Sam started panicking, the three, especially Chris, surprised with how vulnerable she was in that moment.
"We'll have to hurry if we want to find him. Hopefully before the police find him and question him." Chris said and Sam tried her best to breath, the four all jumping when they heard a growl nearby. Spinning around, the saw the black figure standing there, the top half of his face covered by the hood but his mouth showing the fangs, blood on his lips and all over the hoody.
"Back off." Chris yelled, his eyes going bright red as he stepped forward, everyone shocked when the figure simply grabbed his arm and threw him effortlessly into the wall before snarling and sprinting off, Chris groaning from the impact on the wall and ground.
"Oh my god. Please tell me he didn't hurt Freddie." Sam said and Millie hugged her tightly while Gabe helped Chris up.
"He's extremely strong. We can't mess with him no matter what." Chris said in a pained voice and the girls pulled apart.
"What was that?" Millie asked weakly.
"That was a rouge vampire. He can't control his actions at all right now and he needs to be stopped before he kills everyone in the museum or escapes." Chris replied and the others all shivered in panic and fear.
The girl stood cleaning the artefacts exhibit carefully, making sure she was always seen by the camera so they knew she wasn't taking anything. Everything seemed perfectly fine, but in the corner of her eye, she saw a shadow enter the room and turning around to see who it was, she was surprised to see that the room was empty other than her. Putting it down to her imagination, the girl went back to cleaning, her head snapping back up a moment later when she felt piercing eyes on the back of her skull.
"Who's there?" She called out, slowly looking at every corner of the room. When she couldn't see anyone, an uneasy feeling heavily settled in her, but putting it down to superstition, she just turned around and went back to cleaning. And that's when the black figure leapt out from behind the door. The young woman screamed loudly as the black figure pinned her to floor. She tried to fight him off but was so overpowered that she didn't stand a chance at getting free.
"Please." The woman pleaded "Please, let me go."
With one swift and fluid motion, the black figure bit down on the woman's neck and started to suck the blood out of her. She lets out a gasp as her blood was draining from the bite and tried to push him off, slowly losing consciousness from the blood loss.
Right as her blood was about to be completely drained, a security guard rushed into the room with his flash light in hand.
"Hey! Who's in here?" The guard called out in the dark room.
The figure turned to face him and the guard saw the eyes hidden behind the mask that covered the top half of his face, a hood over his head. His eyes glowed bright red and fresh blood stained his lips and ran down his chin.
The guard saw that the figure had the woman's limp body in his arms. "Oh god, no."
The black figure drops the woman and rose to his feet. Like a lion stalking its prey, he advanced on the guard with an animalistic instinct.
The guard pulled out his gun and pointed it at him. "Stay back! I'm warning you! I will shoot you!"
The black figure let out a low snarl and continued to make his way to the man.
"I mean it, I will drop your sorry-"
Before he could finish his sentence, the black figure leapt towards the man. The guard opens fire, shooting at him five times, all five shots missing their target due to uncanny speed and agility.
Black figure jumps on top of the guard who managed to barely get away and run out of the room for dear life.
The guard continued running until out of nowhere he is jumped by the black mask. The guard tried to fight him off but the black figure just grabbed his fists and crushed both of them in his hands.
The guard lets out a bloodcurdling scream as his hands throbbed in extreme pain, all bones completely crushed.
The black figure shoved him against the wall and punched a picture frame by his head, picking up a long shard of broken glass, stabbing the man repeatedly until he stopped struggling. He then grabbed the man by his left leg and dragged him back into the room where the woman was lying.
Despite his injuries, the guard was still alive and he looked up at the monster who had just violently brutalized him. He could only watch in horror as the black figure bent down and viciously bit the man in the neck, quickly draining him of his blood and forgetting about the woman lying almost dead on the ground nearby.
Down the end of the hallway just seconds later, an older woman in her late forties with short brown hair walked around the hall. She continued walking until she took a final step and stopped at hearing a sound of crunching underneath her foot. She looked down to see that there was broken glass on the ground.
The woman looked around and noticed a trail of blood on the ground. She slowly walked forward and followed the trail towards a door that was ajar. She heard a noise coming from out of the room, the sound like an animal ripping something apart.
The woman walked towards the door and saw the figure in black knelt over the security guard biting into his neck. She recoiled in horror which caused her to push the door slightly.
The figure sensed her presence which caused the woman to become terrified. She looked around for any sign of people and then looked back into the room to see the figure in black nowhere in sight.
Unexpectedly, the figure appeared in front of the door and lunged at her. The woman screamed in horror and tried to push the door close to no avail.
The woman decided to make a break for it and ran down the hall, away from the figure in black who gave chase. She kept running for dear life until something grabbed her by the leg and snapped it in half. The woman howled in agony and was suddenly shoved hard into a wooden cabinet that stood in the hallway. She tried to recover from the whiplash, but as she looked up she found that the figure had knelt down in front of her. Her pained screams were the last thing heard before the figure and black bit down on her neck.
"Did someone else survive?" Millie asked Chris a while later when he had finished talking to the cops and Chris shook his head, the four a floor higher.
"The younger woman would have but she had a heart attack from the sudden blood loss and died. The security guy that also does was in fact her twin brother and the woman was the manager." Chris replied and Gabe ran his hands through his hair while Millie turned to Sam who was pacing, her face showing obvious signs of distress and panic.
"Sam, you need to relax." Millie said and Sam stopped and turned to her.
"How the hell can i? My boyfriend is missing and there is a crazy murderer running around the place. How am i supposed to relax?" Sam snapped and Millie sighed, watching as she began pacing again and bit her nails.
"Sam, you have to at least try and breathe okay? Just try to do that." Millie said and Sam nodded, her breathing coming out shaky, stopping altogether when she heard the snarl behind her, her eyes going wide in fear with the others as they stared at the black figure. After a moment of staring, Chris slowly moved Sam backwards, but the black figure snarled and leapt, Gabe advancing and getting a fist to the face making him fall to the floor, Millie running at him only to get thrown hard into the wall, Chris also being met with a punch and a shoving into the wall before the black figure advanced on Sam who had backed into the wall.
"Please. Please don't kill me." Sam begged, but the black figure just grabbed her arms and roughly pinned her, his head lifting to reveal his face and making Sam gasp and him growl.
"Sam? What is it?" Millie asked weakly as she stood back up, but Sam didn't hear her as she was staring into the eyes of the black figure.
"Freddie." Sam whispered and the three other vampires all looked up in shock, Sam suddenly looking sympathetic and pained.
Freddie was the black figure.
"He isn't doing anything." Millie whispered to Gabe and Chris 5 minutes later and Chris frowned, watching as Sam and Freddie seemed to have a silent conversation with their eyes.
"Should we pull him away?" Gabe asked but Sam lifted her hand and wiggled her finger in a 'no' motion.
"He could hurt you." Chris said and Freddie turned suddenly and growled, standing almost as if he was protecting Sam.
"Freddie, stop." Sam said, but Freddie just snarled and leapt, slamming into Gabe and pinning him to the ground, snarling louder when Chris yanked him off and Gabe leapt up, the two both grabbing an arm and using all of their super human strength to try and hold him as he struggled.
"We need to get him out of here now." Chris said as he tried to hold onto Freddie and Sam and Millie nodded, hurrying ahead to make sure that no one was coming.
Back at the cabin, Cassie and Danny were sitting on the couch watching TV with their arms around each other, both enjoying the privacy.
"This is nice." Cassie said quietly and Danny smiled, pulling her tighter against him.
"I kind of wish we could just always do this." Danny said and Cassie looked up at him.
"So not have it secret?" Cassie asked and Danny shrugged.
"I mean, it's nice having privacy, but it seems a little bit like work trying to hide us." Danny said and Cassie sighed, looking back down at the TV and relaxing into him.
"I know. Why don't we just wait until the perfect moment and then drop the bomb?" Cassie asked and Danny smiled, leaning down to kiss her, pulling away a moment later and turning back to the TV.
However, it was just moments later when the two heard a feral snarl fill the air and they immediately turned the TV off and sat up properly, letting go of each other.
"What the hell?" Danny said as another snarl sounded followed by yelling and Sam and Millie running in puffed out and in a panic.
"What's going on?" Cassie asked.
"You need to come outside right now." Sam said before she and Millie hurried out, Cassie and Danny following close behind, both being shocked when they saw the feral Freddie violently trying to break free of the grip on him.
"What happened?" Cassie asked and Danny took Gabe's place in trying to hold Freddie as he looked exhausted and in pain.
"We aren't fully sure but lets just say there are 6 dead people and a very almost death at the museum today." Gabe said tiredly, Cassie watching her nephew act like a wild animal.
"Where's Pete?" Sam asked as they got him inside and Cassie shrugged.
"I'll give him a call. Why?" Cassie asked.
"Just get him here." Sam replied before walking into the cabin, walking into the main area while Danny and Gabe tried to pin Freddie down.
"What is happening? I can hear snarling from a mile away." Pete said a few minutes later when he and Amber walked up and Cassie stepped slightly to the side to show Freddie lying on the ground pinned down by Danny, Gabe and Chris, his breathing sounding like a growl and his eyes staring at the roof.
"Oh my god." Pete said with a look of shock and Sam nodded, walking over to him.
"We have to find a cure. Is there anything we can do?" She asked.
"There is no cure Sam. But I'll call the old vampire family i was with. They might be able to help find a cure. But you'll have to brace yourself for the worst." Pete said and Sam nodded, her bottom lip shaking as she stared at her boyfriend.
"Pete, we can't have him pinned to the ground until they get here." Amber said and Freddie's growls suddenly got louder, his fangs growing and his eyes getting brighter, Sam backing up a bit.
Before Pete could ask what she was doing, Freddie snarled and threw the men off of him, leaping up and then running at Amber, knocking and pinning her to the ground, going to bite into her neck before being ripped off and then kicked in the back away by Pete.
"Stay away from her." Pete snarled, his eyes red, and Freddie let out a feral sound that made Pete flinch before running at Sam.
"NO!" Cassie yelled, watching as Freddie slammed Sam into the wall and leant down to her neck, watching as Sam quickly yanked his hair and pulled his head back, his snarl ending as he stared into her eyes.
"This happened at the museum. He looked into her eyes and just stopped." Millie said quietly as Pete pulled a shaking Amber into his arms.
"We need to tie him up. To a tree with a thick trunk so he can't get away or hurt anyone. Gabe, Chris, you two move him and I'll tie him to the tree." Danny said
"Wait." Millie said as the boys started moving and they stopped and watching as Sam put her hand onto Freddie's chest and gently started pushing him back, her eyes staying locked with his and her feet moving with his.
"Get the rope." Sam muttered to Danny as she passed him and he nodded, hurrying ahead of them and grabbing the rope that had been hanging on the wall, Sam pushing Freddie outside and then pushing him to his knees when they got outside, kneeling down with him while Danny tied his hands behind his back and then tied him to the tree, walking away as Sam stood up and Freddie growled, yanking on the rope and growling again.
However, when Sam started to walk away, she was surprised when Freddie made a whining sound and then growled as he yanked on the rope. Turning back around to him, Sam walked over to him and gently grabbed his arms, making stop.
"Did you want me to stay?" Sam asked and Freddie made a growl that sounded like an agreement. Sam then walked back over to him and knelt down beside him and placed her hand on his back, his eyes closing.
Being curious, Sam moved to sit more behind him and then pulled the hoody and shirt up, being shocked when she saw the swirl of the triskelion, a second one faint on his back connected to the first one.
Running her finger over the faint one, she was massively surprised when as she ran her finger across it went darker like the other swirl, a pur sound sounding from Freddie.
"Sam, you shouldn't be so close. He could hurt you." Pete said when he walked out and Sam quickly covered Freddie's back, standing up and moving in front of Freddie.
"I'll be fine." Sam said before sitting down in front of Freddie, his red eyes staring directly into hers.
Slowly walking closer, Pete watched as Sam placed her hand on Freddie's cheek and then begun leaning in.
"Sam." Pete said in panic, but what surprised him was that as Sam kissed Freddie he seemed to relax, the more shocking part being that when Sam pulled away and he opened his eyes they were fading back to brown.
"Sam?" Freddie asked weakly before his eyes drooped closed and he fell into Sam, passing out.
