(A/N): Hey Guys! So, I'm kind of giving you what you asked for in the reviews...kind of. Plus, resolving that cliffhanger!

Leo

I don't know how I knew, but I did.

Elaine was in trouble.

Perhaps it was because I had somehow managed to fall asleep in Sensory Alert still, or maybe it was just intuition, but my eyes shot open, my body upright instantly almost of its own accord, and I was out the front door before my brain could even recognise what I was feeling.

I think it was the smell that alerted me, honestly. I was keeping tabs into all those in our group, trying to keep track of them and make sure they were safe, what with how often they got into trouble, and I felt the terror burn its way through her veins, like acid.

I was already on my way there, using vampire speed, but I focused harder, honing my hearing so it was sharper, and my sight converting so that I could feel, and therefore, see, the blood pumping through her veins.

"Who are you?!" I heard her cry, and I had to blink back sudden tears at the terror that was evident in her voice.

"Me?" A second voice? Who else was there? "I'm just someone who wants to settle a score, girly." I could hear two voices, but could only see one person. Elaine was not going to like being called 'girly'.

My blood froze, and my eyes widened as I realised exactly what he, this other person, definitely male, was.

I took a deep breath, scenting the air just to make sure of my hunch, and I knew I was correct when I recognised the familiar stench of a full-vampire.

Elaine really was in danger.

Serious danger.

This thought only made me speed up even more, if that was even possible at this point, and I blinked as I realised the futility of my plan. I was still a minute or two away, and I stopped breathing, eyes wide with horror as I smelt the tangy sweet smell of Elaine's blood, more obvious than normal as it was spilt.

My eyes narrowed, fixed in a glare now as my teeth gritted together, and I forced all thoughts of ripping his throat out with them to the back of my mind, wanting to save Elaine first.

I blew into the clearing that made up Elaine's backyard, my eyes locking onto the back of the vampire, his head only starting to turn towards me, preoccupied as he had been by the taste of Elaine's blood.

I gripped him around the waist with one arm, tackling to the ground before pinning him there.

"What are you doing here?" I hissed low, too low for Elaine to hear, though I doubt she had even noticed that her would-be attacker was gone, what with the speed I had grabbed him.

"I'm just having some fun, Leonides." A familiar voice growled back, and I knew exactly who I was dealing with.

"Leo?" Elaine asked cautiously, not quite sure, I could tell, that it was really me.

"Yep." I replied shortly, my eyes still focused on the man I had pinned as I tried not to breathe in the scent of her blood.

"Jonothan." I stated under my breath, and he nodded with a grimace on his lip.

"Leonides." He reiterated. "You know, the other don't like you very much." The others. He was talking about the other vampires.

"I figured." I muttered, rising to my feet as I shoved him away, now standing also, putting my body between him and Elaine.

Elaine seemed to understand that it would be wise for her to stay quiet, as she didn't make even a peep, though I could tell that her eyes were darting between Jonothan and I.

"Leave." He raised an eyebrow, the smirk dropping from his face, now completely serious. "Now." I growled, and he glanced at Elaine over my shoulder before charging at the both of us.

I slammed my shoulder into his chest, his own momentum sending him flying back a few feet, landing flat on his back, and I felt Elaine raise an eyebrow.

"And don't come back. You have qualms with me, not her." He nodded, now back on his feet, not taking his eyes off of me, and a few seconds later, using vampire speed, he was gone.

"Come on." I stated quietly, breaking the silence that had fallen over the two of us. "You need to get cleaned up." Despite the removal of the threat, she was still terrified, her hands shaking, and I placed a hand on her lower back before leading her inside, and to their bathroom.

"We'll need to wash this." I informed her, my voice as blank as possible as well as my face, not wanting to give away what I was feeling. I glanced at her lips, trying to figure it out.

Had he made her drink? I hadn't heard it, but that doesn't mean anything.

To become a vampire, you have to have a vampire drink from you, and then you have to drink their blood, it's a whole big sucking thing, and basically, they're just going to kill you.

But either result would be bad for Elaine, and for me.

"Open your mouth." She opened it without question, but her gaze turned confused after a few seconds, having realised, on a conscious level, what I had asked.

I put a hand on either side of her face, keeping her head in place as I examined her mouth, dropping it and sighing a deep breath of relief as I saw no signs of vampire blood.

"We'll still need to wash it." With that, I tapped her chin, letting her know she could close her mouth, before reaching out to retrieve the washcloth resting on the tap.

I wet it with water from their basin, before dabbing at the wound on her neck gently, trying not to hurt her as much as I could, though she winced anyway.

"Now who's the pussy?" She murmured, and I chuckled under my breath, trying to take in as little breath as physically possible.

"Not you. I'll need some gauze..." I trailed off, starting to search the cupboards under their sink for anything I could use to bandage her teeth-lined wound. "Aha!" I exclaimed quietly, having found the gauze, using some scissors to cut off a square big enough to cover her newly acquired injury, before securing it in place with some tape.

"There, good as new." I joked, trying to break the tension, but she simply stared at me.

"Leo, I have a question, and you have to answer it honestly." I blinked, staring at her, gulping once, nervous about what her question would be.

"Okay." I acknowledged quietly, still staring her directly in the eyes, trying to gauge what she was going to say before she said it.

"Am I going to turn into a vampire because of this?" It reminded me of Lily's question after I had been bitten by Remus while protecting her on the full moon last year, and was, for all intents and purposes, much on the same subject.

"No." Was all I said, and I could feel her eyes on me still as I dropped my head to stare at the floor. "To become a vampire, they have to drink from you, and you have to drink from them." I explained, and she nodded dumbly.

"Come on, let's get you to bed." I stated suddenly, pulling her to her feet as gently as possible, as if I were afraid of hurting her, which I was, as I saw her yawn widely.

"But I don't want to-" She started to struggle, and I rolled my eyes before scooping her into my arms, bridal style, and carried her to her bedroom, depositing her in the bed before throwing the covers over her lightly, looking down at her.

"Sleep." I ordered softly, pointing a finger at her before exiting the room using vampire speed, closing the door behind me softly.

(A/N): Yeah, one of the lines in here is a quote from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the whole way of turning into a vampire thing is from there too.

So, what did you think?
