When Kyle finally let go of Freddie's arm, everyone had believed that he would turn and attack someone. What happened though was quite the opposite.
As he let go, Sam, Danny and John braced themselves for his attack but instead of attacking, Kyle just stared at Freddie with bright red eyes, the strange expression that Freddie had seen when Freddie had first start drinking his blood.
"At least he isn't attacking us." Cassie said after a minute.
"Yeah, but now he's just staring at Freddie weirdly. Should we call Pete or Chris?" Danny asked.
"Call Pete. Chris still needs to heal more." Cassie said and Danny nodded, pulling his phone out and dialling his number.
"He'll be here in 10 minutes. He was already on his way here." Danny said when he hung up and Cassie nodded.
"I'm a little unsettled at how he's just staring at you without even blinking." John said and Freddie sighed.
"It is quite creepy." Sam said and Freddie looked over at her before looking at Kyle.
"I wanna try something. But no one else can follow me." Freddie said.
"I don't know if that's such a good idea." Cassie said sceptically.
"Cass, I'm apparently about to become a king. If I end up having to rule hundreds of vampires then you're going to have trust me and listen to me." Freddie said and Cassie sighed.
"With Kyle's track record I'm just worried." Cassie said.
"I get that but you have to trust me. I have a feeling that this is going to work but only if you stay away. All of you." Freddie said and Danny nodded.
"I'm good with that. As long as you call if anything starts to go wrong." Danny said.
"I will. How about you Yvette?" Freddie asked and Yvette nodded.
"Just bring him back in one piece." She said.
"I'll do my best. I'll be back as soon as I can." Freddie said before getting up and suddenly disappearing, everyone blinking from the sudden breeze and then looking to the couch to see that both Freddie and Kyle were gone.
"Let's hope that they're okay." Cassie said and Danny put an arm around her and kissed his temple.
"Freddie knows what he's doing. They'll be back before you know it." He said and Cassie leant into him.
"Let's hope you're right."
Over in Leonard's, now Freddie's, apartment, Freddie was standing in the bedroom with the door locked and he was holding a bottle of his father's blood.
"Okay. I wonder if this will work." Freddie muttered to himself before turning to Kyle and holding out the bottle.
"Drink." He ordered in a calm but stern voice and Kyle took the bottle, pulled the lid off and began to drink.
After Kyle had finished drinking, Freddie slowly moved closer until he was almost touching him.
"Kyle, how do you feel?" Freddie asked when his eyes started to go back to their natural colour and Kyle blinked several times before frowning in confusion.
"I feel… my insides don't feel all twisted anymore. Why is that?" Kyle asked.
"Do you remember drinking my blood? For several hours?" Freddie asked and Kyle's eyes went wide.
"Wait. I did that? I am so sorry!" He exclaimed and Freddie just smiled.
"It's okay. Felt weird but I didn't really mind. It's not like I can run out of it or anything." Freddie said.
"Where are we? And where the heck did you get all of that blood?" Kyle asked and Freddie turned to the wall fridge.
"Ah. That's my fathers. He left it. Apparently there's a ton more somewhere. And this is… was his apartment. It's now mine, along with everything inside of it." Freddie replied while closing the wall fridge.
"When exactly did we get here? The last while is a complete blur after the cabin." Kyle said.
"A few minutes ago. I had a weird feeling that his blood would stop your weird moment. Now we have to get back to the cabin before Pete comes looking for us... or worse, Sam. If she comes looking she won't stop until she finds us." Freddie said.
"Before we go you should probably do something about your back. It's glowing." Kyle said and Freddie looked over his shoulder to slightly see a glowing pattern on his back.
"Huh. Would you look at that." He said before turning back to Kyle.
Sometime later, after Pete had looked over Kyle and Freddie to make sure nothing bad was happening and the triskelion tattoo on Freddie's back had stopped glowing, Sam and Freddie walked into Freddie's bedroom in Marissa's apartment and Freddie locked the door, also thanking that his mother was working the graveyard shift at the hospital that night.
"I am so wiped." Freddie said as he collapsed onto his bed and Sam nodded, laying down along his back.
"You did have a lot of blood drained from your body earlier." Sam said while pressing a kiss to the back of his neck and Freddie hummed.
"That's true." He said and Sam rubbed his side.
"Hey. You should at least get changed before you go to sleep." Sam said softly and Freddie turned his head to look over at her.
"I don't wanna get up." He said and Sam sighed, getting up and off of him.
"You so owe me for this. Roll over." Sam said and Freddie did that, simply laying there while Sam removed his pants and then his top, leaving him in his underwear. Sam then removed her jeans and jacket before lying back down and pulling the rug over them.
"Now you can sleep." Sam said.
"Cuddle me until I pass out?" Freddie asked and Sam smiled, putting her arm over his waist and spooning him.
"Of course. Love you." She said and Freddie moved back into her a little more, a small smile gracing his features as he began to fall asleep.
Over at Chris's apartment, Chris and Ryan were making out on Chris's bed, Chris arm now almost fully healed, and Chris was sitting in Ryan's lap, their two bodies pulled close together as their lips moved with the other.
"We should probably… stop for a minute." Chris breathed out as Ryan began to kiss down his neck and Ryan squeezed his hips.
"Or maybe not." He said and Chris smiled, twisting his fingers into his hair.
"Ryan, seriously." He laughed and Ryan stopped, sighing into his neck and then pulling back a little.
"Sorry." Ryan said.
"I was only telling you to stop so that our shirts can come off. Can't exactly do that with you sucking my neck." Chris said and Ryan's eyes lit up with his smirk. They both then pulled their shirts off and Ryan pushed Chris down onto the bed, hovering over him and attaching his lips to his neck again.
"I've been thinking things over recently and I think… I think I'm ready. You know, for the next step." Chris said and Ryan froze.
"Say something?" Chris asked after a few seconds of silence and Ryan slowly pulled back.
"Are you sure? I don't want to hurt or do anything you aren't sure of." Ryan said and Chris placed a hand on the side of his face and ran his thumb over his cheek.
"I want t-to have sex with you. I promise if I start to panic I will tell you to stop. Or I'll throw you off. I am pretty strong." Chris said and Ryan slightly smiled before his face got slightly more serious, love, passion and affection filling his eyes.
"I love you." He said.
"I love you too." Chris said and Ryan leant down to kiss him, the two moving so that their bodies were pressed together, the two kissing slowly as Ryan slid his hand down Chris's side slowly to his thigh and pulling it up to around his waist, making Chris gasp into his mouth and open his eyes to show red.
The next morning, Sam, Freddie, Chris, Carly, Ryan and Dylan went out to breakfast and everyone was almost silent, everyone but Carly having only woken up moments before heading down.
"Coffee." Dylan said happily when a waiter walked over and the waiter smiled before pouring them all some coffee, Carly watching the others amused as everyone but Chris drank their mugs, Chris instead having a hot chocolate brought over by the manager who he happened to be friends with.
"That looks so good. I wish I got one now." Dylan said when he saw it and Chris just glared at him a little.
"Mine." He said and Ryan smiled, kissing him on the neck and putting an arm around him.
"So possessive. But that does look pretty good." He said and Chris offered him his hug.
"That is so unfair." Dylan whined as Ryan took a sip.
"I'm dating him. He's allowed." Chris said, getting 'ooooooh' from everyone else.
"That is really good." Ryan said as Chris took his mug back and Chris nodded, taking a sip of it himself and then pulling his sleeves over his hands.
"Okay. Why don't I go and order some food? I'll get bacon and pancakes and a few different toppings for it." Sam said and the others all nodded.
"Remember to get enough bacon for all of us." Freddie said and Sam stuck her tongue out at him before getting up and going over to the front counter with Carly right behind her to make sure she orders right, Freddie just smiling before turning to face Chris and Ryan who were across from him as they kissed.
"Something seems different between the two of you." Freddie said after a moment and Ryan raised an eyebrow.
"We're the same as always." Chris said and Freddie frowned.
"Okay. You usually open your mouth wider when you talk." Freddie said and Dylan leant forward a little to be able to look at the both of them.
"Okay, yeah. I see something strange. Although I notice it more with Ryan." Dylan said and Chris and Ryan looked to each other, Ryan giving a small shrug at Chris's worried look.
"May as well just tell them." Ryan said and Chris's eyes flashed to Dylan for a moment before going back to Ryan.
"Tell us what?" Freddie asked sceptically and Ryan looked around him, making sure no one was looking before he turned his head so both Dylan and Freddie could see his eyes turn red for a few seconds before going normal.
"What the hell?" Dylan asked in an angry whisper at Chris and Chris curled into himself slightly.
"It was an accident." Chris whined.
"It actually was. As soon as he realised he had done it he started crying." Ryan said.
"I read something about that from my dad's stuff. If a vampire finds a mate in a human and the connection is really strong, the vampire can accidently bite the human automatically as a way to make the human feel that bond by being a vampire too. But the self-control, or lack of, only shows itself during or aft – you bit him during sex didn't you?" Freddie asked with a smirk and Chris went bright red.
"Keep your voice down." He snapped and the other three boys laughed.
"Wait. Don't people pass out when the venom is working through their body?" Dylan asked after a few moments.
"Only when their life is in danger or when the person isn't bitten by who is supposed to be their mate. If the vampire and human are mated and are having… are doing it then they'll stay awake. It's weird but that's just how it works." Chris replied and Dylan processed that as the girls walked back over.
"What'd we miss?" Sam asked as she and Carly sat and Chris glared at Freddie who went to open his mouth.
"Speak and I cut your tongue out. I'll do it." Chris said in a deep and quiet voice and Freddie's eyes widened slightly in shock a well as the others apart from Ryan.
"That's what you get for prying." Ryan simply said and Chris nodded, grabbing his hot chocolate and taking a few sips to hide the little smile on his face.
