A/N: I know I have a lot of explaining to do for how I spent a whole summer without really updating anything. See, I typed a lot, I just never got around to updating. I also have been typing a lot of stories that I haven't even published. I have received a few messages from people asking if I'm still writing. I promise you, I won't just drop off the internet like that and never update again. I would at least finish the stories I have or tell you guys. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this much anticipated chapter. ENJOY! :D

I tried to stop the bleeding but it wouldn't stop and I looked to the door to see if Bell was watching me. Luckily, she was still running around but when I looked for her, she stopped. I didn't want her to catch on but I felt like she would anyway.

The worst part of it was going to be saying goodbye to Carlos and everyone. I really wish there was an easier way to do this. I shouldn't have come back but I knew he was worrying about me. Now that I think about it, it would've been better to tell the little boy to tell everyone that I died while saving him.

Never mind, I couldn't put him through something like that. I feel like a lot of people would ask him too many questions. I found my bag and grabbed a new shirt. I was getting a little dizzy from the blood lost but I knew how long I had. I just had to keep my heart rate low to stay alive longer. I went back into the bathroom and closed the door. I took off my jacket and turned, wincing slightly as I saw how much blood was on my shirt.

I took off my shirt and touched the bite that ended my life as more tears fell from my eyes. I wiped my face again and used my shirt to wipe off the blood before wrapping a bandage I stole around me, covering the bite. That seemed to work for now so I put my new shirt back on and exited the bathroom. I threw my jacket on the chair before Bell was by my side. I had a weird feeling that she knew but I was glad she wasn't freaking out about it. I sat down on the bed and let out a sigh, feeling a little dizzy. I shouldn't be here for very long but I just didn't want to see the look on Carlos' face when I tell him. The door opened and Carlos came in, holding Hannah.

"Hey, Logan says he needs to make an important announcement in the quad of the University."

"Um, I'm a little tired, do you mind if I just take a nap and you tell me about it later." He looked a little disappointed that I didn't want to go with him but he seemed to understand. Hannah looked over at me and I wanted to cry, knowing that I was leaving that beautiful girl. I was going to have to tell Carlos about the bite when he comes back.

Once he closed the door again, I laid down on the bed and felt my eyes getting heavy. I prayed that this wouldn't be the last time I had my eyes open as I shut them. The last thing I saw was Bell looking at me from the bottom of the bed.

I felt something wet on my face before there was the sound of whimpering. I opened my eyes to see Bell sitting in front of me, whimpering. She licked my face again before he tail started wagging. I rubbed her head and smiled at her. My smile slowly faded when I saw how pale my skin looked. I got up from the bed and stumbled, grabbing onto the nightstand to keep myself up as the dizziness washed over me. I let out a slow breath as I stood up straight before I made my way to the bathroom. I held onto the counter, staring at my hands, afraid to look in the mirror as I cut on the light.

When I looked up, I looked like I hadn't had a goodnight's sleep in years. My skin was sickly pale and my hair looked dull. I had dark circles around my eyes that looked drained of life. I squinted at the mirror when I saw something just above the collar of my shirt. I took it off and when I saw what it was, I dropped my shirt on the floor. I quickly unwrapped the bloody bandages and put them in the sink. I could see blue, purple, and black veins coming from where the bite was all around my chest and stomach, going as far up as my neck and as low as just before my belt. I heard the sound of the front door opening and I scrambled to grab my shirt. I leaned down to pick it up and when I stood up, the dizziness was really intense before I heard his voice.

"Kendall! Where are you?"

I wanted to close the door before he saw me but as I moved, I stumbled over, landing on the ground hard. I coughed and blood came out of my mouth. I heard Bell barking followed by footsteps in front of me and when I looked up, it was Carlos. He was crying as his hand covered his mouth in shock.

I never wanted him to see me like this.

I thought I had more time.

Carlos' POV

I came running into the house to find Kendall to tell him Logan's announcement but when I found him, he was on the bathroom floor, coughing up blood. My eyes immediately went to the bite mark on his side and I couldn't help but cry.

"I-I'm sorry." He told me before he tried to get up. I rushed over to his uninjured side and wrapped his arm around my neck.

"No, I don't want to hurt you." I ignored him as carried him to the door.

"Where are you taking me?" I didn't say anything as I opened the front door. Bell followed us out and I didn't bother to close the door as I headed to the quad of the University. We were almost there when Kendall started coughing more, making him stumble.

"Come on, Kendall."

"Carlos, please, just shoot me before I hurt you."

"I've seen someone bitten before, you still have time left." I told him, trying to get him to move a little bit more. I managed to almost drag him there and when I saw the crowd, I screamed.

"HELP!"

Kendall's weight was becoming too much and I lowered him to the ground as everyone rushed over. I laid him down on his back and I didn't know what to do. I just focused on keeping his eyes open. The first person that made it over to us was James.

"Kendall, oh god." Everyone crowded around us and I looked around before I finally saw Logan coming through the crowd.

"Kendall, Logan has found a cure. He can save you." I told him and he looked up at Logan before his eyes widened. I looked up to see the guy that has been a problem for us for so long snatch the cure out of Logan's hands. I got up and was about to take it from him when he took a step back.

"Back up or I'll destroy it." I glared at him as he smirked. I grabbed Bell to keep her from attacking him.

"Why should he live? He's the scum of the Earth. All of you are!"

"Because he's more of a hero than you are!" We heard a little boy yell. I turned to see the little boy Kendall saved.

"This man saved my son. That's why he should live." The boy's father told him.

"Don't feel to good in an autocracy does it?"

"Sir, not only are you putting Kendall's life at risk, you're holding the key to changing the world." Logan told him.

"Kendall!" I turned to see Mrs. Knight and Katie by Kendall as he coughed up more blood. My eyes traveled to the little boy Kendall saved to see him grab James' gun from his side before pulling the trigger. I ducked and looked in the direction of where the little boy had the gun aimed. My eyes widened in shock as the man had a bullet hole in the middle of his head.

I gasped when his fingers loosened their grip on the test-tube that could change the world. I dived forward but before I could grab it, it shattered on the ground. The blood flew everywhere and drops landed on my face. The man's wife was holding him as she cried. I turned around to look at Logan and he just stared at me.

"Logan, please tell me you know whose blood it is?" I asked him as Mrs. Knight held Kendall in her arms. Jo held Hannah and had her head turned away from everything while Camille and a few others took the gun from the boy.

"I-I-"

"Logan, please."

"I have it in my office, the name."

"Well, come on!" I said, getting up. I followed him as we ran through the campus. We headed inside a huge building and he took me into a lab.

Logan ran to a table and started searching his papers. I was caught off guard by the body in the middle of the room. It was a woman strapped to a table. I walked up to her and turned to look at Logan, who was franticly searching the table. I jumped when she moved.

"Where am I?" She asked me and I was in slight shock.

"Logan, was this woman a zombie?"

"Yes but she hasn't woken up and I still need to know who the blood is from."

"Could the cure be Hannah's blood?"

"Why do you say that?" The woman looked over at Logan and he gasped. The woman's eyes had swirls of purple within the irises that mixed in with her natural eye color of blue. Logan ran over to her and quickly looked over the heart monitor and touched her mouth. The woman just looked at him like he was crazy. Logan grabbed my arm and stared at me.

"It's Hannah's blood."

"Do you have any more?"

"No, b-but I have syringes."

"Grab them." I told him before he ran over to the desk. I unstrapped the woman before I followed Logan out of the building. I could help her after I helped Kendall. We ran back to where everyone was surrounding him. I could hear Mrs. Knight crying and when everyone let us through, I saw her holding him.

"Mrs. Knight, we can save him."

"He's not breathing." She told me and I quickly pulled her away from him.

"He's changing. We need to hold him down." James said and I took Hannah from Jo. James, Camille, Jo, and a few others held down Kendall's arms and legs. Logan took a wipe and wiped Hannah's arm as I distracted her. Logan took one of the needles and slowly inserted it in her arm, drawing her blood. The blood that was going to change the world.

She was looking up at me while he drew the blood from her arm and for some reason I felt like she knew what was going on. I kissed her forehead as Logan took the needle out of her arm, wiping it again with the wipes and pressing on it a little. When I looked down at Kendall, I couldn't help but tear up, even though I knew he was going to be back with us. Just the look of his lifeless body was upsetting.

"Carlos, do you want to do it?" Logan asked me. I nodded my head before Mrs. Knight offered to hold Hannah. I handed her over before taking the syringe from Logan. Katie held Bell back as everyone else held Kendall down. I straddled Kendall and held the needle to his neck but before I could push it in he opened his eyes. I jumped back when he screamed at me. He was a zombie now. Everyone surrounding us stepped back as everyone who held Kendall down, braced themselves.

When he looked down at everyone holding him down, I grabbed him by his hair and forced it back before stabbing him in his neck with the needle. He screamed but it slowly faded until he passed out. Everyone let go of him and I sighed before I listened to his heart.

"Do you hear something?" Mrs. Knight asked me.

"No." I said, sitting up. "Come on, Kendall." I listened to his heart again as tears started to fall.

He can't be dead.

"Wait..." Logan said, getting everyone's attention. "The heart stops momentarily before it starts beating again." As he spoke, I listened to Kendall's heart and right when he stopped, I heard it beat once. When it did it again, I hugged him closer to me.

"It's beating." I said before everyone cheered.

We moved Kendall to our bed while everyone waited around in the room. Jo and Camille played with Hannah while Katie slept on Mrs. Knight's lap, who kept a close eye on her son before she too fell asleep. I laid next to Kendall on our bed with his arm around my waist and my head on his chest. Bell laid on the other side of him, occasionally licking his hand. James had to handle the business of the man getting shot while Logan went to go study the woman he brought back to life. It had been a few hours since I injected Kendall and didn't want to do anything but lay next to him, listening to his heartbeat.

James told me to keep a gun at my side just in case it didn't work. I don't know if I would be able to kill him so I kept it on the nightstand. I told Jo that I would hold him down while she killed him. I'm not even sure if I would be able to do that. This would most likely be the last straw for me. I have considered letting him bite me if he did turn. I couldn't help but think back to when he first found me. He took mercy on me because I had Hannah.

He has more of a heart than half of the people on this planet who would've robbed me on the spot. He took me into his home when I could've easily killed him and took everything. He trusted me and I trusted him. That trust turned into love with the countless times we've protected each other. The fact that he got bit trying to save someone else's child is enough of a man anyone would be lucky to have. I just hope that he can overcome this and I can show him how much I love him.

I lost track of time thinking about everything we've been through before I was taken out of my daydream. I was about to get mad at whoever shook me before I realized that it was Kendall moving. I quickly straddled him and held his face in my hands. He started to shake a little before it got worse and worse. I didn't know what to do before he started coughing. I scooted back and pulled him up to the sitting position and wrapped my arms around his neck. When I felt his arms wrap around me, I couldn't help but cry.

"Kendall." I said as I held him tight in my arms. He squeezed me tightly and for a minute I didn't think he was back until I heard him sob.

Everyone crowded around us as I held his face. I turned it towards me and he opened his eyes. I was almost in a trance with how beautiful they were. His green eyes had swirls of purple within them. I leaned down and connected our lips. For a moment, I forgot there were other people in the room and I think Kendall forgot too. We broke apart when someone cleared their throat. There was a knock on the door and Camille moved to open it. I smiled when I saw James and Logan.

"It worked!" I screamed, hugging Kendall before I heard him wince.

"Sorry, your side is still pretty bad." Logan walked over to us and I climbed off of Kendall to let the Doctor examine him. Mrs. Knight pulled me in for a hug and I couldn't help but feel a flurry of emotions.

"Thank you for not giving up on my son." She told me before we took a step back.

"I was simply returning the favor. He saved me and my daughter and so many others. He's always fighting for everyone else. I figured he needed someone to fight for him." I told her and she smiled as Katie stepped up.

"I'm glad you're the one who was willing to fight for him. I know how stubborn he is and- just- thank you." I could tell that now our relationship was much closer than what it was before.

"Everything seems to be fine besides the color of his eyes. I guess that's a minor side-effect." Kendall looked at Logan in shock before he got up off the bed, Bell following his every move.

"Holy fucking shit! I look so fucking awesome!" We all laughed at his reaction in the bathroom before he came out smiling.

"Does this mean that this little baby saved the world?" Kendall asked, scooping Hannah up in his arms. She giggled at him and I was more worried about his wound on his side. He held her up to his face and as they stared at each other, she reached up and touched his face. It made me think about the first time he held her and he was so scared to let her touch him.

"Our eyes are special." Kendall told her. "You're going to change the world and I'm your proof." I smiled as he kissed her forehead and she giggled.

"Kendall, I think you should get some rest before we show the world what we've discovered here." Logan told him. Everyone began leaving, starting with Katie and Mrs. Knight. They both hugged him and Mrs. Knight whispered something in Kendall's ear before she gave me and hug. Logan gave both of us hugs before he left behind Mrs. Knight and Katie. Once the door was closed, I turned to Camille and Jo after I saw Kendall getting back into bed.

"Can you two watch Hannah and Bell for a while?"

Both of them instantly knew why I needed their help. All they did was nod their heads before I took Hannah from Kendall. He went to say something but I just shushed him. I called for Bell to follow them out and she looked a little reluctant to do it but followed my command. I closed the door after them and Kendall was looking at me in confusion before I walked over and straddled him.

"Carlos, wh-"

"Shh." I said as I leaned down to connect our lips. I moaned as his hands caressed my thighs, gripping my waist. I gasped when he suddenly flipped us over and ran his hands up under my shirt. I placed a hand over his side to make sure he didn't mess up anything.

"God, I've waited so long for this." He whispered as he removed my shirt and began sucking on my neck. I had to stop him before he left a hickey on my neck. When he pulled away, the smirk on his face told me I was too late. He kissed me again before he kissed down my body. His tongue traveled down the line of my abs before dipping into my navel. He unbuckled my pants and pulled them off along with my underwear before I felt his mouth my dick. I ran my fingers through his hair as he took more of me. It's been so long since I felt this type of pleasure and I didn't know how long I was going to last as he swirled his tongue around the head. I pulled him off of me and pulled him in for a kiss.

"Fuck me, please." I whispered in between kisses.

"Where's the lube?" He asked me and I pointed over to our bag. He quickly moved over to the bag and I was surprised at how fast he found it. He unbuckled his pants and I was eager to help him out of them. He kissed me before I pulled him back onto the bed with me. I smirked as I pushed him down on the bed. I pulled off his underwear and wrapped my lips around his dick. It's been a while since I've had sex with a guy but I didn't forget everything. I stole the lube from his hand and quickly coated my fingers while I sucked him off. I moaned as I slid a finger into me. Kendall was running his fingers through my hair before he realized what I was doing.

"Fuck, that's so hot." I slipped in another finger, getting use to the feeling. When I felt like I was ready enough, I pulled off of him and slipped my fingers out before I straddled him. I moaned as I felt him slide into me.

"Oh my god." Once I had all of him inside of me, I stopped moving, trying to stay relaxed. Kendall sat up and wrapped his arms around me. His lips latched onto my neck and he started sucking so hard, I almost lost it. I pulled him from my neck and connected our lips. Our kiss got so messy and heated at times it was just us moaning into each other's mouths. He moved his hips a little and I pushed myself up a little going back down, testing the waters. He started thrusting up as his hands traveled down to my ass.

"We forgot the condom." He whispered and I shook my head.

"Don't care, I want to feel all of you in me." I smiled and he returned it before he started tasting my neck again.

"Harder." I moaned and he thrusted up a little harder. I gasped when he rolled us over and there was a hint of mischievousness in his eyes before he thrusted so hard into me that I was seeing stars as the headboard hit the wall. I'm pretty sure we're doing some type of damage to the wall but I can worry about that later. I didn't have anything to hold me down as he fucked the life out of me. When he leaned down, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me. I arched my back when he hit my prostate. I could feel him smirk into my neck before he hammered away at that spot.

"K-Kendall. I'm close." He slowed his thrusting and kissed his way from my neck to my lips. I let out whimper when he got me so close to the edge only to slow down again.

"I-I'm not going to last much longer." He said with a small laugh.

"Me either." I moaned trying to get him to go harder.

"Where do you want me to-"

"In me, please." I moaned wrapping my legs around him, pulling him all the way in me, holding him there. He pulled back and his hard thrusts became irregular as we both neared the edge. On one particularly hard thrust against my prostate, I lost it, painting our stomachs. I gasped when I felt Kendall empty himself in me. He was about to pull out but I squeezed our bodies tighter.

"No." I whispered.

He smiled before he kissed me. I could tell that whatever energy we had left was gone and the kiss ended by him just sliding his head to the side until he was breathing heavily against my neck. I slowly unwrapped my legs from around his waist and he pulled out of me. He flopped on his back next to me, wiping the sweat off his forehead, pushing his hair back.

"I had no idea that you were that freaky. I thought you would be more of the gentle type." I blushed at his comment as I turned over onto my stomach to look at him.

"Well, I didn't expect you to take control like that."

"You underestimated me."

"I would think having an injury like yours would stop you-"

"But you were wrong." He said, making me laugh. I slowly moved closer to him before connecting our lips. I moved away but he wrapped an arm around me.

"I love you so much." He told me and I smiled, blushing.

"I love you too."

"I have never loved someone so much in my entire life."

"Your family."

"That's different."

"How?"

"Because I love them as my family. I love you so much, I want to have a family with you." My heart couldn't take his level of cuteness.

"I want to have a family with you too."

"So, what would you say to me wanting to adopt Hannah?"

"Kendall, there's no government to adopt her but if there was, we would head there now or something." Kendall laughed when I looked confused and I couldn't help but smile at his smile before I got up and climbed over him.

"Where are you going?"

"Considering I'm dripping with your…essence, we're going to take a shower."

"What about my injury?"

"If you can fuck with it, you can take a shower with it." I told him.

"Is there a chance we can have another round in the shower?"

"Maybe." I closed the bathroom door and I heard him get out of bed as I cut on the water.

"You can't say maybe and then show me that." I laughed before I felt his hands on my hips. I stood up and smiled as I turned to kiss him. I gasped when he lifted me up, placing me in the tub. As the water washed over us, I leaned against his chest as he held me close to him. There was a comfortable silence between us as I watched the water soak up in his bandages. I slowly ripped the bandages down the middle before taking them off of him.

"I'm the luckiest guy in the world." When I looked up at him, he was staring at the wall behind me before he looked down, smiling. He leaned down and we shared another kiss and I couldn't help but think which one of us was luckier. When we broke apart, I laid my head on his chest again.

"I want you to know that I'm the only one allowed to bite you." He laughed at that as I wrapped my arms around him, avoiding his injury.

"Ugh, we forgot the washcloths." He groaned, making me laugh. I pulled back the shower curtain and stretched out to the counter. I felt Kendall supporting me around my waist as I grabbed the washcloths.

"Thanks." I said, handing him the washcloths. I closed the shower curtain back and felt Kendall wetting the washcloths. As he washed me, I couldn't help but stare into his eyes, watching the colors swirl together as he focused on my body. He looked up at me since he was kneeling and I couldn't help but smile.

"What?" He said, laughing a little.

"Your eyes are beautiful."

"Thank you, so are yours." He said, blushing a little as he went back to washing me. He was so focused that he jumped a little when I started washing him. Once he was done washing me, I focused on him and when I got around his bite, I tried not to get soap in it.

"Don't worry it doesn't hurt as bad as it looks." He said before he screamed. I jumped back and he laughed.

"That's not funny." I said, hitting him playfully.

"It's kind of a numbing feeling. It's weird."

"It looks like whoever bit you got a good mouthful."

"I'm tasty." He said, smiling down at me as I arched an eyebrow up at him. Once I finished washing him, I took the washcloths and threw them over the shower rod. We both dried off together in the bathroom before Kendall scared me by picking me up.

"Put me down."

"No, you were taking too long, so I'm drying you off." He sat me down on the bed and took off his towel, rubbing it all over me.

"Kendall, what the hell?"

"Stand up." He told me before he continued to dry me off.

"I'm not a child."

"You're my baby."

"You're weird."

"And you're short."

"Kiss my ass."

"Okay, turn around." He said, looking down at me. I pushed pass him and grabbed our clothes out of the bag. When I turned around, he was lying on the bed with the blanket on the floor.

"Do we have to put on clothes? I like being naked with you." I sat the clothes at the end of the bed and took out our underwear, throwing his to him. He sighed as I put on mine before I crawled onto the bed next to him as he struggled to put on the underwear while still lying down.

"Kendall, I love you so much."

"I love you too." He said before he yawned. "I guess dying, becoming undead, dying again, and coming back to life is exhausting."

"Can you tell me what happened?" I asked him after we grew silent for a while. "Sure." He said, sitting up a little.

A/N: I have to say that when I intended to type this chapter, they didn't actually have sex. I was going to have everyone come back but I figured, I could include that and then in the next chapter he explains how it all happened. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. REVIEW PLEASE! :D
