I know I don't have many people reading this story, and that's okay. I'm just glad that someone likes it : )

…

Rory felt like his body was being sucked out from the inside out; he wanted to throw up, but there was nothing in his body that would leave; the squirrel blood he had had earlier to keep his strength up now felt like a lead ball in his stomach, weighing him down and leaving an awful taste in his mouth.

"Where's her body?" The hunter asked, kicking him in the side, making him cry out and open his eyes as he rolled over onto his side. He felt a hand in his hair, yanking hard to point his face up; he could see the figure through tearful eyes. "Where. Did. You. Put. Her?"

"She's alive," he spit out through the pain that was now racking him. The hunter stood up, letting him fall to the ground in a pitiful lump of pain.

"Andrea's alive? She survived the shot… Of course she did. She's okay." They called into their radios, telling the two who had been on the hunt for Andrea's body to pull back, to come stand watch over the fallen blonde vampire who was now convulsing on the ground.

"What…do?" The vampire hunter leaned down, and Rory could imagine them smirking at him, even though he couldn't see the face.

"What did I do? Is that what the ittle vampire wants to know?" It asked in a baby voice, condescending and annoying to the shivering boy. "I turned you human. I'm going to torture you, kill you. And I'll make sure Andrea knows all about it. She will come back home once you're no longer a distraction. You're not good. And soon, you'll be dead. Enjoy this pain. It'll be the nicest thing you feel for a while."

…

Andrea bucked in the bed, her body shivering and twisting. Erica just watched her, one hand clamped over her mouth to block out any screams that may leak out.

It would be a quick change – it had been for her and Rory, who had become fledglings practically within minutes. Ethan, with his magical blood, had taken longer, which is why Sarah could save him in time. Andrea was already changing though – she could see it in the way her muscles were flexing, her breathing was slowing.

Yes, any minute now and she would be 100 percent vampire. She would know what it felt like to be this way, to be powerful without the use of weapons, to be strong.

Yes, Erica's revenge was sweet. She had just robbed this girl of her life, the same way her sister's had been robbed.

She had heard the sob story, and she hadn't cared. All she wanted was revenge, and now she had it as she watched Andrea still, eyes slipping closed.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

On the fifth heartbeat, Andrea opened her eyes.

…

The vampire hunters were trumping through the house, tearing it apart as they looked for anyone they could find.

"Holy hell, they're gonna kill us," Ethan whispered as he and Benny stood next to Sarah, who had barricaded the door to the attic. "They're gonna kill us, and then my parents will bring me back to life just so they can kill me again!"

"Ethan, calm down. You're panicking. Benny, talk some sense into your boyfriend."

"E, calm down. They didn't find Andrea because we disguised the door to her room to look like some wall. They won't find us because we're pretty well hidden-"

"WE HAVE NO WAY TO ESCAPE! WE'RE GONNA diiiiiiii-" Ethan fell over in a heap, his words slurring as he blacked out.

"What did you do?!" Benny asked Sarah, who was giggling from where she stood behind Ethan's slumped body.

"Vulcan nerve pinch. You didn't think I wouldn't learn something from hanging around you two, did you?"

"Well…" Sarah shook her head and poked Ethan, who whined but didn't move. "He okay?"

"Yeah. I had to get him to calm down. He was gonna lure them right to us."

"True. E, if I bring you back to the world of the living, will you calm down?" Another whine. "Taking that as a yes." Benny waved his hand and Ethan sat up.

"Not cool Sarah."

"It was kind of cool."

"Wait-" Sarah said, cocking her head to the side before her eyes widened. "No."

"What happened?"

"Erica," Sarah growled, ripping the door open and storming through the surprised hunters. Benny and Ethan scrambled to follow them, dropping smoke bombs in their wake to make sure they couldn't see where they went.

…

Rory groaned as he saw two hunters standing over him – his vision was blurry; his eyes must only be partially open.

"I still can't believe he got turned human. It looks so painful."

"Not as painful as the torture that's planned."

"Shouldn't we do something to help? I thought we protected humans. He's human now. Doesn't that apply to him?"

"Logically, yes. But they won't see it that way. They only want revenge for Andrea."

"Who's apparently still alive."

"Even so, the decision has been made. I'm loyal to our group, to our cause. What they deem right, I follow. Don't you?"

"I suppose so."

Rory threw up now as a dull scream reached his now human ears.

…

Erica screamed as Andrea launched herself at her, fingers closing around the blonde's throat.

"Why would you do this to me?" she hissed, fangs out and eyes wild. Erica gasped for air as she clawed at her, but it was to no avail.

Andrea was strong. Even for a fledgling.

"Why?!" She stepped back and let Erica go as a new smell hit her nose.

Blood. Squirrel. Medication.

A medication she designed to help vampires change back.

Human. Blood.

"No. Rory." Andrea was about to jump out the window into the backyard when Sarah burst in, Ethan and Benny behind her.

"Andrea! What are you doing? What happened?"

"Ask her. Rory's in trouble," is all she said before she jumped, landing on her feet with a precision she could never have accomplished while human. She took off in the direction she smelt the blood, Sarah coming after her with a dull "you two watch her, keep her here" behind her.

"Rory, please," Andrea whispered into the air, already knowing what awaited her.

…

Oh snap. The tables have turned! Guess we'll see what happens next time, won't we?

See ya'll soon & thanks for reading.
