The Midnight Moon
Episode 1 - Starting All Over


"Nick?" Sarah said as he walked out of the restaurant, she tights her coat as a breeze from the rain sends chills down her back. She looked around and saw the parking lot, she looked down the street and saw nothing.

"Nick?" She called again but the only reply is the song of the rain. But that's when she sees a dark figure on the ground just near the harbor. She grabbed her dressed and picked it up from the floor as she walked into the rain. She slowly walked toward the dark figure on the road, from her view it could of been a dead animal but it was different and she dared not answer the question in her head. She began to run toward the body as soon as she's in sight, she sees it is Nick's motionless body. She falls to her knees before his body and lets the tears mix into the rain. There was no sound as she cried...but the rain.



-3 Hours Later-


Sarah sat in the restaurant, now empty but her face showed nothing but a worn out, empty face.

"Ma'am, I suggest you get some rest, we have all the info needed, so go home okay" Suddenly a hand pat's the sheriff's shoulder, He looks over and sees David.

"I'll take care of her" The sheriff nods to David's almost whisper. David takes a seat next to Sarah. What was there to say? what was there to think of everything happening? nothing so David said the first thing on his mind.

"You know...Nick and I have known we were brothers for..about a month. I've known him for 2 but when i found out...i wasn't mad or anything but i felt good, as if i finally knew i was't..." David let the single thought fill his head, that's when he looked toward the window "Alone" Sarah leans her head against his shoulder, she starts to cry, she holds her head against his shoulder.

"James....It's David, listen there's been an accident" David voice came from James' phone as he listened to it. James pulls the phone away and looks down at it then finally crushes the phone in his hand.

"James!"

James walks back from outside into the Church of V, where Raj (King of Seattle) sits on his throne where Loki stands close next to him.

"Yes, My king" Raj smiles as James walks up and bows.

"It's Zelos, He's been seen in Tru Bon, i want you to bring me his head"

"But my King...I've recently come from Tru Bon, i have unpleasant memories there"

"You deny your King?" The King yelled, his face serious, staring at James as if he was seconds away from ripping his head off. James looked away

"Consider it done...My king" James turned away giving the King his back.

"And James...I'll be sending Loki with you" James closed his eyes, annoyed as he turns around and bows.

"Yes my King" Loki jumped down from Raj's throne and next to James.

"What's the matter James?"

"My king, i a sure you i can do this alone"

"Loki will accompany you...Let it be done" Loki smiles at James

"Come on James, it'll be like old times"

"It's the 'old times' i try to forget" James gives Loki a serious look and walks off, Loki smiles and follows.



-Tru Bon-



David and Sarah walk out of the diner as to see the ambulance pull up, two paramedics walk up to David and Sarah.

"Sorry we're late, someone screwed up the 911 database"

"I don't understand, Paramedics have already been here"

"Impossible, our communication has been down so no calls were taken" David looks over at Sarah, She looks away, letting the shock take over, a single tear on her face that David saw. In New York, Blake sat on the carpet floor as he listened to David's message.

"Blake, It's David...You must be sleeping or something but it's Nick..." David is quiet for a moment "He's gone" Blake drops the phone to the floor as Andrew walks into Blake's apartment. He sees Blake on the floor and in tears. He quickly gets to him and helps him on the couch.

"What happened? what's wrong?" Blake didn't answer, he closed his eyes and let the tears run down his face.

"I..." Blake spoke, his voice steady and emotionless, he tried to keep it back

"I have to go back to Tru Bon"

"I'm coming with" Blake quickly stood up, Andrew followed

"You can't...you don't understand my life back in Tru Bon, there's things you shouldn't know about that life"

"Blake, if this is going to work then we need to be honest with each other but if you want to leave without me then don't come back because i won't be here" Blake and Andrew met eye to eye.



-The Next Day-


David gets up from bed, shirtless and wearing only his blue pair of boxers. He grabs a pair of shorts and pulls them on and walks out into the dining room where Jonathan and Claudia sleep, He quietly walks into the kitchen where he sees a note on the fridge. He walks up to it and reads it

"Be back soon, don't worry, Sarah"

David sighs as he throws the note away, he looks over at the group picture they took awhile back.

"Nick...What's going on?

Nick's dead body is placed in bath tub, he's fully naked and his wounds are covered tight with bandages.

"Time to wake up" The shower is turned on and the shower curtains are closed and door is closed. The water hits Nick's body, it quiet until Nick quickly opens his eyes and gasps for air. He tries to gain all his lost air as he looks around, everything he sees is new to him. He picks himself up and looks at the shower head that sprays him with water. He turns around and there's a note on the wall behind him.

"Take a shower then come out, we must talk"

Nick's breathing becomes steady as he looks over at the cherry scented shampoo, he feels his wounds on his chest and feels the bandages and he pulls them down to see the cut on his chest and it's gone.

The Midnight Moon
Episode 2: Ab Aeterno



The man stands at the table, his back is to the hall where Nick has recently just turned the shower off, his clothing is one tone, a vanilla white, barefooted on the cold tile floor, he turns toward the bathroom door when it open, a smile spreads across his face.

"Did the clothes fit?" Nick quickly looks down the hall where he sees the man.

"Who are you?"

"I was hoping they would fit..."

"Excuse me, who are you? where am i?"

"Kids today don't wear them anymore but i'm sure they'll pass"

"HEY!" Nick says loudly, the man looks over at him. His silver hair short and combed back, nice and tight. His tall posture is straight, as he stares at Nick, he's an older man, you can't tell by his face, not a pore or wrinkle but by his eyes, his eyes told his whole story. He was indeed a vampire.

"Who are you?" The older man smiled, he grabbed a cup from the table and poured tea into it.

"Call me Earl Grey" The sides of Nick's mouth, curl up into a half smile.

"Like the tea?"

"My real name is of no importance right now, come sit...but first!" He puts the cup down and walks over to Nick, Nick is stand off-ish. He makes a fist, ready to attack.

"Calm down, i'm not going to kill you...i think you've had enough for one day"

"What?"

"Tell me...What's your name?" Nick takes a second without blinking, he shakes his head.

"I don't know"

"Where you from?" Nick takes another second.

"I don't know"

"What are you?" Nick releases his fist, looking away

"I don't know"

"Hmm it's worse than i thought, your suffering from amnesia...don't worry, your memories shall return...Now please, sit...you must be hungry and thirsty" Nick looked at the man who walked to the table and took a seat, Nick walked up to his chair and took a seat.

"How did i get amnesia?"

"Probably from being attacked last night" Earl grabbed a pair of chop sticks and starting eat while Nick sat there, doing nothing. Most vampires didn't eat, Blood was all they need but others, more older vampires could eat if they so choose.

"I remember that!" Nick quickly announced, Nick's eyes drift away, trying to remember....

"I was attacked...i was cut on my back and chest...and my neck! did i..." Nick looks back at Earl. "Did i die?"

"Yes, you were dead for 6 hours, i brought you back which wasn't easy" He scoops up some white rice with his chop sticks and eats it.

"Thank you" Nick quickly says, Earl just nods once.

"What's my name?" Earl took a drink from his tea as he swallowed his food.

"Nicholas but you prefer Nick"

"Nick, okay...last name?"

"Your last name is of no importance either"

"Yes it is, my last name might help me remember who i am"

"Eat first than i'll tell you" Nick pounds his fist on the table.

"TELL ME NOW!" Earl throws one chop stick at an incredible speed, it pierces Nick's chest, it takes Nick a second to feel the pain.

"You'll watch your anger in this house got it?" Nick grabs the stick and pulls it out, he watches the wound heal, he quickly looks at Earl.

"I'm guessing that's normal for me?"

"You and your kind yes..."

"My kind?"

"Please...can the questions wait until after dinner?" Earl grabbed another chop stick and continued to eat, Nick looked at his food and took the fork and started to eat.

"Sarah.." Nick randomly mutters the name while chewing, Earl looks up at him...

"Sarah?" Nick seemed not even to notice, it took a second to hit him.

"I remembered someone? Sarah...who's that?" Earl smiles.

"She's someone special in your life...finish up..." Earl stood up from the table.

"Then meet me in the garden, i have something i want to show you"




-Tru Bon-


David zips the zipper up on his coat, grabbing the Mustang keys on the table, he looks over at Claudia and Jonathan.

"Listen i'm happy for you two, marriage sounds great but you guys want to contribute to helping find..." Three knocks on the door grabs everyone's attention. David walks over to the door and opens it to reveal Blake and Andrew. David smiles, Blake smiles back.

"Your here"

"Yup, Tru Bon isn't the same without me" David and Blake share a hug like they were brothers. They release each other when David looks at Andrew.

"Oh David, this is Andrew, he's...a friend of mine" Andrew is quiet until he smiles, David shakes his hand.

"Nice to meet you"

"Like wise, well come in.." David stands out of the way, Blake walks in first and sees the hide-out, cleaned up and organized but he also sees the group photo with Abby and lets all the memories rush back into his head, he sighs until he looks over at Jonathan and Claudia.

"The wolves are here...sweet"

"Blake, it's good to see you" Claudia says with a smile, Jonathan just jerks his head up.

"Hey guys"

"Wolves?" Andrew said as he walked up.

"You've got alot to learn" Blake said smiling, he looked over at David.

"So catch me up..." From outside, James stares up at the hide-out from the parking lot, Loki no where in sight, most likely resting. He doesn't need to speak, he turns around and is gone within seconds, Jonathan quickly opens the door and looks out and sees nothing.

"What was it?"

"Nothing...let's just continue" Jonathan and Claudia walk back into the apartment, Blake takes a seat on the couch, Andrew does the same and David sits across them.

"Well the reason your here doesn't really need to be explained...Nick was killed last night. When i went to go get Sarah, i found out..."

"Sarah?" Blake questioned

"She's like him, different...she loved him alot"

"Okay, you found out what?"

"His body was stolen"

"somebody took his body? who?"

"I don't know but i believe it was the person who killed him"

"What do they want with Nick's dead body?"

"I'm not sure and i don't want to really know, i just want to know the truth to who killed him. Now Sarah is gone and i have no idea where...So that's pretty much everything that happened"

"Well why isn't James looking for him?"

"Because James left us for Seattle, we don't need him" David said with a silent anger.

"Okay so it's just us..."

"Yup"

"Great, let's go hunting..." Blake sarcastically said, almost regretting his decision on coming back. Andrew stood up and walked out of the apartment, Blake excuses himself to follow Andrew outside. Blake closes the door behind him and stands next to Andrew against the railing.

"Wolves...Changlings...People who are murdered. All those don't bother me as much as you lying to them on who I really am...I'm your boyfriend, not your friend"

"Sorry, i haven't told them but i will and when i do i promise i'll tell them who you are" Andrew is silent, still a little pissed.

"Wolves?" Blake smiles

"Well...there's a lot i need to catch you up on" As the night took over, Andrew well informed that werewolves & Changlings now exist and Blake caught up to speed, It was time to get to work. James and Loki stalked the night, on the trail of Zelos. They run through the dark streets of Tru Bon when they come to a stop under a street light.

"His trail ends here" James says, Loki smiles as he takes a few steps in front of James.

"Well we're not alone" James looks at what Loki's staring at when he sees the group of kids, James could smell them, a wicked and vile smell came off them that made James feels uneasy. They came into focus, soon as the light hit them, James and Loki saw they were zombies. The same ones Nick saw when James abandon him the night they visited Zamxus.

"Loki, we got Tricksters" Suddenly the group began to shape-shift into foxes but one stood out, it wasn't a fox, it was a coyote. A large one, probably the size of a horse.

"Well looks like we won't be eating rats for dinner tonight" Loki licks his lips, James slightly worried as the coyote stood up, it had the body of a man with fur like a coyote and face of a dog. Eyes of red and teeth so sharp, they put fangs to shame.

"Something's not right here" James says in latin, Loki looks over at James. They spoke the dead language when they were partners years ago, the only two to do so.

"What do you mean?" Loki spoke the language back.

"They're not attacking which means..."

"They're protecting something..."

"Or someone" Loki smiles as James loosens up and Loki takes an attack stance, eyes turn black and fangs pop out. James eyes turn black.

"Trickster's have tempting blood, it's forbidden to drink..." James warned Loki, Loki smiled as looked over at James.

"Don't tell me what to do!" Loki ran off, James hisses then follows. Meanwhile Nick was about to walk into the garden when Earl is at his side in a split-second.

"Come, i have else where to show you" Earl lead Nick into his office. A nice, quiet place that seemed more like a large living room than a workplace.

"What is it you want from me? You healed me and i'm grateful but let me return to my life and figure out things with...Sarah" Earl took a seat behind his desk. He grabbed a folder and removed a photo from it. He showed it to Nick and Nick just shrugs at it.

"Who is that?"

"Your saying you don't know this person?" Nick stares at the photo hard, he shakes his head.

"Nope...no memories, why?" Earl looked down at the photo then back at Nick.

"This is the person who killed you last night...I've brought you back and now i must continue to keep you here, i will teach you the elements of fighting and then and only then shall you seek your revenge"

"You want me to fight the person who killed me in little less than a minute?" Earl smiles as Nick remembered that night like it was a scene from a book, he read over and over.

"People say "Revenge is a dish best served cold" i disagree, i think it's an action best done..rather than spoken" Earl keeps his smile, hell i think it even gets bigger as Nick stares at him, he lets his eyes drift down at the photo, staring at the eyes of his killer.

The Midnight Moon
Episode 3: Lady Luca


"Listen to me Sarah baby, i want you to run...don't stop okay? you need you promise me you'll keep running no matter what you hear...can you do that?" I still remember looking in her eyes as the house, my house burnt to the ground. My father took his rifle that he kept over the fireplace and stood near the window when my mother snapped her finger to grab my attention. I stared at her while the smell filled my nose as another explosion shakes the house.

"F**king Zane!" My father never cursed before but i guess this gave him reason to, Zane lit our home on fire as we slept.

"You need to go Sarah!...Now! Go!" I ran out the backdoors while my father pushed open the front, I was stupid...i should of ran when i didn't, instead I watched as my father began firing at Zane, Zane at an incredible speed, easily dodged the bullets. My mother took her long wooden staff and spun it around then i remember seeing the most beautiful image. She began to glow, i mean her eyes glew a beautiful light violet along with her hands. She looked like an angel, she was so beautiful...My father's rifle clicked which meant he was empty and suddenly he went flying back, hitting the house which snapped me out of everything...I began to run into the cornfield as i let the noise behind me begin to fade. Then i stopped once i heard the ear piercing scream of my mother then i heard it come to a stop...I was young but even i knew what that meant. I wanted to check on her but that would be stupid instead i continued to run, i felt the tears in my eyes as i broke through the cornfield.

"SARAH!!!" Zane screamed from the top of his lungs, i was so loud that it knocked me forward on my knees then i small gush of wind hit my back, i felt his dark cold presence behind me. Something i never felt with Zane, my once best friend. I turned and looked at Zane, I couldn't see his face...he was all dark, as if he was hiding in the shadow but there was no shadow, no way out...It was me and the devil.

"Zane..." I held my hand out at him then it began to glow, the first time i witnessed it. He drew his hand up, his claws were long and sharp then in one swipe, he cuts me.

"Ugh!" I looked around, i was in Nick's room. I felt the sweat on my forehead pour down.

"Just a dream" I reached out for Nick but...he wasn't there, i was alone. I sat up and looked over at the clock on the wall. It was only 5 in the morning and everyone slept...I threw the blankets off me and grabbed my pants and put them on and quickly got dressed. I saw one of Nick's shirt, i grabbed it and put it on and buttoned it up. It was good to smell his scent again. I opened my door and peeked out it to confirm David in the room in front of me, he slept in his bed. I walked down the hall and peeked into the living room where Jonathan and Claudia slept like dogs. I walked to the kitchen table and wrote on the notepad.

"Be back soon, don't worry!"

I took the note and placed it on the fridge and left the apartment, Leaving was the only way i could find Nick. I knew he was still alive, i just felt it in my chest. I didn't want David or the wolves help but someone elses...a detective's.

"Your asking me to drive you to New Orleans to do what?" I couldn't blame Detective Burken for being upset at me, the questions of where i was and asurring him i was fine. He was also searching for Nick's killer as well as the disappearence of his body but he had no clues..

"Yes"

"Why New Orleans?"

"Because i know someone who can help track down his body, i just need someone to take me"

"What happened to those people who kidnapped you? Why can't they help you?"

"They didn't kidnap me, they helped me...plus, i don't want them in danger. I want you to help me...Will you or not? because i'll find someone else" He took a deep breath and exhaled, staring at me as if i was crazy and i didn't care. I knew this could help find Nick and i was going to do it with or without him

"I'll do under one condition...When they found you they said your wounds were so great that there was no chance at survival then they next day you didn't have a scratch on you. How is that possible?" I looked down and took a deep breath, exposing myself was the only way of getting him to go along so i took a deep breath and took the pen from his desk and stabbed my arm, hurt like a b*tch, his face confirmed my craziness.

"What the hell?" I removed the pen and my open wound healed before both our eyes

"I'm a changling like Nicholas which is why i know he's not dead. Someone took him and i need your help to find him" He looked away and scratched the back of his head.

"Let's go" I smiled which caused him to smile.




-2 Hours Later-



After the long ride to New Orleans, we were finally here. The beautiful New Orleans, The Big Easy...I spent 2 summers here with my grandparents before they finally passed. Me and Johns found it "The Great Iris and His Magical Friends" He looked over with an 'are you kidding look?"

"The Great Iris and His Magical Friends? sounds like a children's show. Your friend is this Iris guy?"

"Yeah, i met him awhile back when i was traveling through. He's a nice guy, just don't ask him about vampire, he hates them"

"Okay" We walked in where i saw him on stage with a few people from his entourage.

"What's the first line? welcome or greetings? i like greetings" He wore a plain white button up shirt with nice black pants and leather gloves.

"I like Greetings also" Iris looked my way and smiled, he snapped his fingers causing a poof of smoke to explode in front of him and another to explode in front of me with him stepping out with my hand in his grip, he kisses it gently.

"My dearest Sarah, i'm so glad our paths have crossed"

"It's good to see you as well" He stood up and kissed my cheek

"I can feel your power flow, it's very upsetting...I feel very angry. What's wrong?" Power flow, it's something i've felt in other Changlings. It's how we knew others were around. I felt it with Nick and i loved every moment of it.

"It's the man i've fallen for...He's been taken"

"I'm so terribly sorry, is there anything i can do to help?"

"Yes, actually...I was hoping you can help me track him down, your stronger than me, i was hoping you can find him"

"Anything for my dearest" He kissed my forehead when i looked at Detective Burken

"You are?"

"This is Detective Burken, he's a friend"

"Nice to Meet you...Iris?" He nods as they shake hands

"Yes, pleasure is mine...Please come to my chambers, i'll be glad to help" Finally things were going good, It would take Iris like...5 minutes to find him, Iris was a changling like myself. He used his abilities as an act to pretend he was a magician. So being stronger than i, he could trace Nick with ease. We followed him to his private room where we both took a seat.

"So what's his name?" Iris asked as he lit two candles and finally took a seat across from me. He grabbed my hands and closed his eyes.

"Nicholas...Vampiri" He opened his eyes and stared at me for a second, he quickly closes his eyes.

"Um okay..." Suddenly the room darkened to the point i couldn't see either Johns or Iris even through he was inches away from me, then he opened his eyes and his eyes were gone and instead there was glowing red light coming from his eyes.

"I can see him now...he's not far but...I can't get an exact location" Suddenly the lights resumed, he closed his eyes and opened them to normal.

"That's it, he's close but you don't know?"

"Sorry, wherever he is...someone is going through great measures to hide him"

"Another one of your kind?" Johns asked, Iris shook his head

"I don't know most likely" Something wasn't right here...I felt his power flow weaken which only meant one thing to me...He was lying.

"You sure?" I asked and i really stared at him, he looked at me and nod once.

"Yes" Lie, I stood up and smiled, Burken and then Iris stood

"Well thank you"

"Stay for the show, please"

"No, i need to find Nick before something bad happens, thanks again" Iris nod, Burken shook his hand one last time then we left the building, as we walked down the street i stopped.

"You noticed it too?" Johns said, I looked at him

"He was lying wasn't he?"

"I don't know him well enough but even i saw that. He knows something and he's not saying it" I turned back toward the building, I could easily march up to him and confront him but then it would lead to nothing. I needed to plan this out which would take awhile. Nick i know your out there, please...just hold on!.

The Midnight Moon
Episode 4: Kings


Blake takes a seat at the kitchen table where he places the open laptop down and takes a sip from his Dr. Pepper. David walks up and throws the Mustang keys in his pocket.

"I'll be back late, Call me if you find anything"

"Where you going?" Jonathan asked, David looked over at him.

"There's someone i know who can also help. I'll be back as soon as i can"

"Good luck" Blake told him, David nods and leaves the apartment. David gets to the mustang, he locks the doors and is motionless for a moment until he starts hitting the stiring wheel. His eyes turn black and fangs slowly stick out, David's nose starts to bleed as he starts to calm down, he looks down as his eyes return to normal and fangs return into his teeth, he starts the car and drives off. Back inside, Andrew unzips his bag and a cat jumps out and runs up Andrew's shoulder and lays around him.

"You have a cat?" Blake asks, Andrew smiles

"This is Kiki" Jonathan and Claudia look over at the cat, Andrew looks over at them with a smile

"I know you guys are wolves and all but can you try not to eat my cat?" Jonathan smiles, Claudia walks up to the cat and pets it

"We might be werewolves but we're not animals, we don't eat everything in sight besides Jonathan and I are vegetarians"

"Really?" Blake asks, letting his fingers type as he looks at Claudia and Jonathan.

"Yeah"

"By the way, Blake can i talk to you in private for a moment?" Blake nods, closing his laptop and walking off to the backroom, Blake stops to look at Abby's closed door. He looks over at Claudia and walks in the room with her, She closes the door.

"Now i know i shouldn't have but i walked in Abby's room awhile back and found this" Claudia walks to David's bed, raises it with one hand and pulls out a small carboard box. She hands it to David, David looks down at it and opens it. He reaches in and pulls out a camcorder.

"My old camcorder? explains where it's been missing"

"I think you need to watch what's on it" Blake looks up at Claudia, Claudia turns around and leaves the room. Andrew walks to the laptop and opens it up, the screensaves shows several pictures of Blake and Abby, some of the gang. Andrew looks away and closes the laptop and walks off.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" Nick and Earl sat in Church in the far back row as they watch the Pastor preach on. Nick looked down at the bible and closed it. He looked over at Earl who seemed really into everything.

"I thought vampires couldn't enter a Church?" Earl smiles

"You believe everything you read on Wikipedia? I bet you believe we can't walk into a home without being invited. My faith in God is something i really charish. Yes, I'm a vampire and the whole myth on us going to hell is simply a myth"

"Why am i here? Why can't i be trying to remember who i am?"

"James Lionheart...Ring any bells?" Nick took a second to think about it but nothing came to mind.

"Who is that?"

"He was your best friend, you two pretty much spent every living moment together"

"Really? What happened to him?" Earl just stared at the Pastor

"He made a mistake"

"Well lets go find him, maybe he can refresh my memory"

"I thought you understood already...I can't let you leave until your ready to"

"Ready to? I was ready back in the garden"

"What i said back in the garden was very true and i was serious about it, if you don't understand then i'll be more than happy to tell you again"

"I understood what you said"

"Good, now shut up and pay attention" Nick rolls his eyes and looks at the Pastor, Meanwhile in Seattle, King Raj sits, bored at his Throne when the front doors fly open, Raj looks over and smiles

"Well this is a nice surprise" He walks into the Church, black sneakers with leather pants and a long black coat with a white muscle shirt underneath, his hair is long and blond, he wears various jewelry around his neck and wrists, none silver. His eyes are brown and he's a white as paper.

"King Maximum, what brings you to Seattle?"

"Cut the act Raj...You know about how i feel about Changlings, if you are to kill any then your starting something you really don't want to be apart of..." King Raj stands from his throne and in a split second he's in King Maximum's face.

"How dare you threaten me in my own Sanctuary"

"You don't scare me Raj, I'm older and stronger than you" Maximum said, bluntly. He didn't get angry.

"I could easily rip your face off!"

"I've warned you" King Maximum turns around and walks off until he stops and turns around.

"You remember the Hunting Trials, thousands of innocents were killed, imagine how many would die if you were to kill one single Changling? I've warned you" King Maximum walks off, leaving Raj in fury. Meanwhile David lets the security guard close the cell doors behind him. He takes a deep breath and he begins to walk down the hall with people reaching out to try and grab David with sharp claws. He stops at the cell door at the end of the hall and stares down at the man inside.

"I was wondering when i would have a visitor" Zane flashes David a smile but David gives him a dirty look, clearly already pissed off.

"Where's Nick?"

Episode 5: Good To Know That If I Ever Need Attention All I Have To Do Is Die


James drops the dead fox on the ground, as it forms back into a man. He looks up at the night sky then back at Loki who breaks one of their necks and drops the fox, letting it form back into a person.

"It'll be dawn soon, we must hurry back"

"James..What's it like?"

"What?"

"To be a Tainted Blood, is it any different?"

"There's no time for this, let's hurry!"

"Fine, ignore the question but i'm tired of the same old blood" Loki grabs one of the Tricksters, pulls their head back and bites down on their neck, drinking their blood.

"LOKI!" In a second, James throws Loki off the Trickster, flying back and hitting a tree, Loki laughs as the new blood travels through his body.

"What have you done Loki?" James steps back, staring at Loki in shock as he finally runs off. Meanwhile, Zane sits on the ground, back against the wall from within the cell, David stands on the other side, staring down at him.

"What was that?"

"I didn't kill Nick but trust me, i'm applauding that person in my head"

"Listen to me you short, gothic looking son of a b*tch. You know more than your giving so TELL ME!" David grips the cell bars and shook them. Zane quickly stood up and grabbed David's hand and held them there while they were face to face, only inches away.

"No, you listen to me...Nicholas stood in my way of what i wanted so his death is a marvelous win for me. Now i know nothing of who the killer is but trust me, if i did...i would take it to my grave. But the question remains, why would someone like myself, want to find Nick? Your finally in charge of your little group of friends, Nick isn't God anymore but you are and you love every moment of it"

"I'm nothing like you" David forced the words out but in the back of his mind, he felt as if that was true.

"You think you can fool me? Your smell has changed from human...to vampire. Welcome to the dark side"

"TIMES UP!" David looks over at the security guard then back at Zane, Zane smiles

"I'll see you soon" He releases David, David steps back and walks off for a few steps before running off, letting Zane remaining words poke inside his head.



-Meanwhile-




"YOU REALIZED WHAT YOU'VE DONE?" James yells, Loki continues to laugh

"Enough Daywalker! What, scared that you finally have someone who can stand up to you?" James lets his eyes go black and claws quickly eject out.

"What you plan on killing me?" James launches at Loki, Loki hisses both grappling each other until Loki throws James back, James smiles when he finally jumps again at Loki, Loki takes his claws out along with his fangs.

"I've waited centuries for this"

James tackles Loki through a tree, both hit the ground, James ontop of Loki, he claws at him over and over until Loki throws him back, his face quickly heals. Loki cracks his neck and smiles.

"Trickster Blood is worse than Changling's blood"

"WHY DO YOU SAY THAT? EXPLAIN YOURSELF!" Suddenly Loki's teeth retract back along with his claws, Loki drops to the ground and throws up blood. James retracts his claws and his eyes return normal.

"I'll let you figure it out yourself" James walks off

"JAMES!" James stops

"You've choosen your fate Loki, i can't help you no more"

"James, your aware this is fate..." Loki smiles, gripping his blade.

"We shall be reunited before the dawn of a new world, a world without vampires" He his drops from his blade while he throws up more blood.

"I'll be waiting" James runs off, leaving Loki in the middle of the forest, alone. David drives back into Tru Bon when he hits something hard with his car. David can't see what he hit from his window but he's pissed. He gets out, eyes slowly turn black, his fang quick stick out. He looks down at the pavement and sees James on the floor, he looks up at David as he slowly heals.

"David?" David's fang retract back and eyes return to normal.

"James...What the hell are you doing in Tru Bon?"

"No..no, hell with that question...Are you a vampire?"

"Yes" James hits the hood of Mustang with his fist, smashing it.

"WHO TURNED YOU? Was it Zane?"

"Wait, why are you playing daddy? Where the hell have you been? you can't just return here with open arms"

"I've returned for...business"

"Business?"

"Enough of these questions, Does Nick know about this?" Like a knife to the chest, David hangs his head and feels the growing anger building up, mixed in with sadness.

"What? David...What's happened?"

"Someone killed Nick last night" James became motionless, his face was blank. His eyes turned black with the same growing hate in his chest, he wanted to kill, cry and have no mercy but he just blinked when he opened his eyes, they were normal.

"Who did this?"

"I don't know, i've been looking like crazy and it's lead me no where"

"Was it Zane?"

"No, at least i don't think so"

"Why weren't you there?" Suddenly David's eyes go black as his hate comes out.

"WHAT WAS THAT?" James eyes go black, David claws at James, James takes that attack, he takes another from David until David tackles him on the ground.

"WHERE WERE YOU? YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO PROTECT HIM!! YOU WERE MORE OF HIS BROTHER THAN I WAS...YOU DAMN BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU!" David stops attacking James and slumps over to the street and starts crying. James laid there, staring at the night sky, eyes return to normal. He rubs his face with both hands and lets David cry while he lets his own guilt take over and for the first time ever, a single tear rolls down James face, not water but blood.

(Right off the bat, i will admit this two episode sarah arc was not my favorite and when you read this it'll most likely show in my writing. I'm glad this is the last one in her perspective)

The Midnight Moon
Episode Nick Was A Friend Of Mine (Sarah's Story Part II)


It's was about 2 in the morning and i couldn't sleep, i laid in my bed. Restless with the thoughts of Nick running through my mind. As it started with the first time we met to the awful images of what some sick bastard is doing with him. I looked over at Detective Johns Burken and he sat on his bed, unable to sleep as well.

"What do we do Johns?" He quiet for a moment, he looked at me in the darkness and said "I don't know Sarah" I reached and grabbed the hotel phone.

"What are you doing?" Burken calmly asked

"If Iris knows something then it would be best to get him out with it and find Nick already" He quickly reached out and stopped me.

"Listen Sarah, i know this is the last thing you want to be hearing but have you ever considered the fact Nick might..."

"Don't" I stop him before he finishes

"I'm just saying consider that reality because i don't want you to build all this hope then when the truth is out, see you fall. Just consider that reality" He let me go, knowing very well he was right. If Nick was dead then i would have to continue my life without him but i still had to figure out what happened...even if it might be for nothing. I dealed up Iris and told him to meet me downtown at this old pizza place i enjoyed when i was a kid. When I arrived, i sat inside...alone. Burken watched from outside, just in case something funny went down. I knew Iris could tell me but it wouldn't be with a cop around. The place was dead quiet, even the cookers weren't making a noise. Iris walked in, hands in his coat pockets, i quickly caught a glimpse of James Dean to this man, actually Iris and James Dean look very alike.

"Make it quick? i have an performance in the morning that i really don't wanna do" He takes a seat across from her when the waiter places down two glasses of water, she keeps his eyes on Iris.

"What will it be to eat tonight?"

"I'm not hungry" Iris told the waiter with skater hair and a headband on that made the standard uniform...well it didn't fit. He looked at me with his pierced lip and tattoos on his neck. I looked at the waiter.

"One sausage pizza slice for me"

"Okay, i'll be right back with your food" He walked off and i put my sight back on Iris.

"Can you feel my flow? what's it telling you?"

"You feel betrayed? why?"

"Because someone i considered a friend has lied to me" I think he knew i was talking about him because he chuckled and looked away before meeting my eyes.

"Who?"

"Enough with the games, you know where Nick is? so just tell me"

"If i tell you...they will come after me" I leaned forward, the first piece of information i've gotten all day.

"Who?"

"Changlings, they were these uniforms....they were lead by this woman, she told me if i were to say anything about Nick then i wouldn't have long to run. They paid me to find Nick and left, that's all i know."

"Did you get a name? anything?"

"I can't say much more, they don't care about secrecy or keeping things quiet. If they want you gone, they'll kill you on a stage in front a millions of people. They're powerful people, Sarah. Not you or i can stand up to them"

"They attacked me first, i'll just firing back. Now what's the name?" I said it calmly when really i wanted to grab his neck, fling him across the room and demand a name but i tried to keep my cool.

"Zelos, the woman's name was never said. Just Zelos was all i heard"

"Is that all?"

"Yes" Iris said calmy, ashamed almost disappointed but this was the biggest information yet, Zelos could be the one who killed Nick. All i had to do was find Zelos and then it would lead me to Nick. I stood up and looked down at Iris, stilling looking down.

"Thank you" I ran off and met Burken outside, we began to walk down the street, i had so much to tell him but everything slowed down. I knew that because Burken suddenly looked as if he was in slow motion. I turned around and saw Iris standing there, his hands glowing bright along with his eyes.

"I can't let you leave"

"What are you doing?"

"I CAN'T LET YOU RUIN WHAT I'VE STARTED" He held his open palms toward me, i knew what was coming next, i pushed Johns and it resumed him. He both hit the ground when a string of light hits where we just stood, exploding sky high. We stand up, when Burken pulls his gun out and shoots at Iris three times, the bullets come inches of him before melting to the floor.

"Aw hell!" Iris smacks his hands together and white wave of enegry blows all the cars on the street toward us, i grabbed Burken and ran, we turned the block just when a car goes flying past us. We continue to run when i see the facility that Iris was holding his performance. It was big, our chance to get away from him. He ran towards it, knowing Iris would soon turn the corner. I opened my hand as it started to glow, the doors burst open as we run in and jump from another explosion behind us.

"YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME!" Iris yelled, i looked at him from inside as he walked up and suddenly he disappeared and reappeared on stage, he smiles as he floats into the air, hands open and glowing along with his eyes. Suddenly the stages bursts on fire as he looks down at us, angry. Burken starts shooting at him but the bullets do no harm. Changling can't be killed so easily, even i knew that. Suddenly Burken goes flying across the room and gets pinned against the wall, he screams in pain as Iris slowly makes a fist. I grab the wooden chair and smash it against the ground. I takes a sharp piece and stand up, i put it behind my back and i face Iris.

"Release him Iris, you don't want to hurt him"

"I can't let you leave"

I grabbed the piece of wood as tight as i can, knowing i would have splinters later. I broke into a run towards Iris, Johns screamed in pain. I jumped over the fire and landed on the stage but just barely. I took the piece and went to stab Iris' chest but Iris caught my arm.

"Not so fast"

"I'm sorry" I quickly place my free hand on his chest with my power i crush Iris' heart. Iris felt that i was going for the obvious kill so i had to outsmart him, i had to kill one of my best friends. Iris fell to the ground and died, Johns fell to the ground, coughing hard, trying to catch his breath as the fire dies around us. I knew finally it was over.

"You okay?" I asked Johns, he just nods.

"Come on, we need to get out of here" I walked over to him and helped him up, we escaped through the back. We were leaving New Orleans, we were leaving this story behind and with the information we had well i was certain we would find Nick. I just knew we would...

The Midnight Moon
Episode 7: Goodnight, Travel Well


"Come to the Garden, i have something i want to show you" Nick tosses and turns in his sleep as he remembers the previous events. Nick walks into the garden and sees Earl watering some cherry blossoms.

"They smell beautiful"

"Well this is my favorite planet, just don't tell the others" Earl smiles, Nick smiles also.

"So i'm guessing cherry blossoms isn't what you wanted to show me is it?" Earl places the water can down and wipes his hands on a small towel on the bench, he takes a seat.

"Please, join me" Nick takes a seat next to Earl.

"Nicholas, i have alot i need to teach you but it feels like none of it will matter"

"Why?"

"Nicholas, you are a Changling, something that's both gift and curse. You have great abilities but the downfall is that you can heal, your not immortal but you can heal. Whom ever attacked you, knew that and made sure you weren't going to heal but they didn't kill you because it's not that easy to kill a Changling and only few know how."

"How do you?"

"You destroy the heart, if you dont then...you can come back to life"

"So did i bring myself back to life or did you?"

"Alittle of both...You lost alot of blood and your healing factor couldn't reproduce blood so i did an act that is frowned upon amongst my kind"

"What did you do?"

"I gave you a good amount of my blood" Nick took the news differently then you would take most news, he accepted it but yet he felt something was off.

"Your a Changling too?" Earl chuckled.

"No, i'm afraid i'm something much worse. Would you believe me if i said i was a vampire?" Nick stared at him.

"Yes"

"Well i am. Yes, i'm afraid this planet is crawling with creatures"

"So i have Vampire blood in me? does that mean?"

"No, it's the venom that turns people, not the blood"

"There's something your not telling me isn't there?" Nick felt it deep down, he felt Earl's sadness as if Earl was ashamed of this secret.

"Yes, there is...Nicholas, what i'm going to tell you, i want you to never forget. Can you promise me that?" Nick nods once.

"Nicholas, your going to..."

"AGHHH!" Nick wakes up, covered in sweat. He sees Earl leaning against the doorway.

"Earl...What are you doing?"

"My blood runs through you, meaning i can feel what you feel"

"Oh" Nick still tried to catch his breath, he sat up from his small cot, letting the blanket drops, revealing his shirtless chest.

"Come with me" Earl walks off, Nick stands up and grabs his shirt, he pulls it on as he walks out of the room and sees Earl already sitting at the bench in the garden.

"What's wrong?" Nick asks as he walks up to Earl on the bench, hanging his head, straight down as if he was looking through the ground. Nick took a seat next to him, Earl looks over at him and slightly smiles. His hair wasn't combed or anything, it was down and hung from his head, almost impossible to see Earl's eyes.

"You need to make me a promise, you always need to be aware and never lose sight of your surroundings, lose focus and your enemy takes the opening and will attack. You promise you can do that for me?" Nick saw the seriousness in Earl as he sat up and leaned back against the bench, never breaking eye contact.

"I promise. Are you okay?" Earl smiles, looking away

"I'm fine"

"Really? cause you don't look fine"

"I apologize for never preparing you" Suddenly the house bursts into flames, Nick stands up in shock. Earl grabs Nick's hand

"Don't!" Nick watches as the door blows open revealing Zelos, his tall figure entered the house from the other far end of the house, he spots Nick and Earl as he walked through the fire inside the house. His silver hair spiked up, his smile slowly grew as he saw Earl and Nick.

"Who is that?"

"That's the man who works for the person who killed you" Nick felt his heart skip a beat, he was in shock well shown on his face. Earl chuckled as he stood up, the fire didn't reach the garden, it stopped before it. Zelos walked to the entrance of the Garden.

"It's good to see you up and about Nicholas, It's good to see you too James. How long has it been?"

"James?" Nick quickly looks over at him, James just stared at Zelos.

"It's been several centuries, i'm surprised you've lasted this long"

"She keeps me around, her blood is...heavenly"

"I wish i could be there on the day she doesn't need you anymore. That day would be a sight for sore eyes"

"Shall we settle this already?" It all made sense to Nick, Earl really James knew what was going to happen and if Nick was right then...No, Nick couldn't let it happen. Nick ran at Zelos, Zelos smiled, he broke into a stance and quickly removed the blade from within his coat sleeve, James in a blur pushes Nick aside, Zelos stabs forward piecring James chest. The silver burns James, James face shows the pain but he managed it. Nick was on the floor, staring up at James, James looks down at Nick.

"Tell my Son...I love him" Zelos removes the blade, James with one push of his hand, throws Zelos back into the house. James rushes after him, Nick gets up and watches. James and Zelos fought in what looked like a blur, it was hard to see them clearly. Zelos quickly grabs James by the throat. James looks over at Nick.

"RUN!" Zelos pierces James chest, Nick lets a tear roll down his face. He stands up and runs off, He hits the fence. He climbs over it and falls down on the other side, he sees nothing but desert for miles.

"Damn it" He starts running into the darkness.





-Meanwhile-




James quickly stood up, he closed his eyes and could feel Nick's fear.

"What is it?" David asks, staring at James as he used the car to pull himself up.

"It's Nick, he's scared"

"Can you find him?"

"I can't...I can usually see what he sees but it's blurry, like looking through a water bottle with water in it. DAMN IT!" David walks to his car and grabs his cellphone.

"Go home, I'll be right back"

"Where you going?"

"Zane" Before David could stop him before he can say or even have time to process what James said, he was gone.

"Damn it" David texts Blake 'James is in Tru Bon, i'm coming home now' he puts his phone in his pocket, he looks at the destroyed Mustang and sighs. He walks in the middle of the road and takes a deep breath.

"Well here we go" He starts running, it's more like a jog at first then out of nowhere he starts to keep up speeding, he smiles, kicking the speed up. Blake and Andrew left Clunkin Good-Time with a three boxes of chicken, Blake texts David back as Andrew struggled to hold them.

"Done yet?" Andrew asks, Blake looks over and smiles.

"Yeah sorry" He takes two boxes when a group from behind the building spot Blake and Andrew.

"Boys, check out the fags" The large men walk over as a group to Blake and Andrew, Blake sighs but Andrew ignores them.

"Hey boys! that's alot of meat but i'm sure you've taken more!" They all laugh.

"It's actually chicken but i guess that's to blame on public schools" one of the thugs pushes Blake, Blake almost trips but he drops both boxes of fried chicken, Blake turns around, pissed.

"You son of a b*tch. What the hell is your problem?" Suddenly the thug lets his fangs pop out, suddenly the whole group lets their fangs come out and eyes turn black. Blake steps back, Andrew drops all the chicken in fear. Blake reaches into his pocket and pulls out two knives.

"It's been awhile, i might be alittle rusty" One thug rushes at Blake, Blake stabs him with one knife, drops him to the ground and stabs him with the other, killing him. Blake looks up at the rest of the guys and smiles when he's kicked in the face, Blake drops to the ground, several vampires grab him and rip his shirt off and start to pull his pants down, Andrew grabs a knife and stabs one in the back of the neck.

"I'm one Fag, you should have messed with" He takes the knife and throws it at a vampire, hitting his forehead. Andrew reaches into pants and pulls out a small wooden stake.

"Like my wood?" Andrew quickly stakes one vampires coming at him, he blows up, spraying blood everywhere. Andrew ducks under one vampires attack and stakes him in the back of the neck. Blake pulls his pants up and grabs his ripped shirt, he slides it on and turns around, all the vampires are dead and Andrew is smiling as he stands over them.

"What the hell was that?" Andrew drops the stake and walks up to Blake.

"Listen, there's alot i have to tell you that your not going to easly understand"

"When were you going to tell me you were a Vampire hunter?" Blake takes a step back away from Andrew, Andrew sighs.

"Blake, there's something i've been meaning to tell you. That day we met wasn't actually the first time we've met. I've been looking for you since i was a child but of course you don't remember me mainly because i was just a baby when you and Abby were growing up"

"How do you know Abby?"

"I know her because she's my sister" Blake fell silent, 'he's lying!' was all Blake thought, Blake caught his breath and snapped out of it.

"Impossible, It was just Abby and Me...I don't remember any..." Suddenly Blake remembers a conversation between his parent's and Abby's.

"Mommy, i wanna go home!"

"Isn't he beautiful? we named him after his grandpa" Blake pulls his mother's shirt.

"Mommy! I'm tired!"

Blake snaps out of it, he steps back against, Andrew steps forward.

"When i turned 14 i saw you and Abby fighting Vampires, i didn't know she was my sister at the time but i knew i had one. I knew she looked like our mother and was strong like our father. So i became a vampire hunter with a plan to approach you guys and eventually join you but...Abby died then my whole plan went to crap then i went to your apartment to tell you everything but you were already gone and off to New York so i left to find you. You had a relationship with Abby, i dreamed of that. I'm sorry i didn't tell you"

Blake is quiet, he chuckles a couple times then looks at Andrew.

"I knew you looked familiar"

"I'm sorry, i knew this is twist" Blake walked up to Andrew and gently kisses his lips, he holds his face with his hands.

"I'm not alone anymore" Blake smiles finally having someone who was like him. Andrew smiled as he wrapped his arms around Blake, Blake starts laughing as they hug.

"You know from other's perspective....this looks pretty weird"

"Yeah, your right"

Episode 8: Upon The Gears And Upon The Wheels

There is sin and evil in the world, and we're enjoined by Scripture and the Lord Jesus to oppose it with all our might. Our nation, too, has a legacy of evil with which it must deal. The glory of this land has been its capacity for transcending the moral evils of our past.
-Ronald Reagan


James comes to a sudden halt, his face is still with his hate filled mind. Dead set on getting the information from Zane...by any means necessary. The large metal gates that stood guard in front of him was covered in electrical wiring, covered with silver. Two guards from the watchtowers spotted James down below, both aimed their sniper rifles at him.

"Freeze!" James walked toward the fence, he grips it as thousands of volts of electricity runs through James body. He pulls the gate open, tearing one side of the gate off it's henges.

"Fire!" the bullets came flying at James but he moved so fast, a blur became his tail. It felt as if he was so fast, he teleported. The front door were no match for James. He just over reacted when he singled handedly punch them in, sending the doors flying in and hitting two guards, knocking them down. One bullet grazes his upper arm, it burns but he manages. He rips a door knob of the fallen door and with a powerful throw, he hits the guard then he turns and focuses back on the hall of the prison. He sees a young security guard on the other side of the glass, he's shaking with fear. James looks over at the petrified guard then in a split second, the guard reaches over and hits the button, letting the large metal door to open and in a flash...he's gone. Zane sits in his cell while the other vampires listen in on the commotion outside. Zane sits on his bed, holding his knees with a smile.

"23...24...25" Zane whispers as the doors to the main hall come flying into the main room, revealing all the jail cells. As he awaits for James.



-Meanwhile-



David stood and stared up at the hide-out, his eyes returned to normal and his fangs sunk into the roof of his mouth. He lets a small smile grow, letting a proud feeling consume him.

"Hello David, It's been awhile" David looks up at the second floor, near the hide-out door. "You took after your father" David is horrified, she leans against the rails of the second floor.

"Who are you? How do you know my father?" Her hair is short, ear length and black, she runs her hand through her hair and combs it back behind her left ear and smiles.

"Your really gonna sit back and let it all end?"

"Who are you?" Her smile is somewhat lustful and sinster yet it's beautiful and peaceful.

"I've gone by many names but my real name is Nora"

"What is it you want?" David didn't know what to make of the situation. Where was Blake and Andrew? He was sure Jonathan or Claudia would of smelled this woman outside the door.

"Well personal matters aside, i need you to deliver a message to Nicholas for me..." Personal matters? David questioned in his head. She was powerful enough to hide her scent and make it so her voice isn't heard by the others in the apartment. She's powerful, David knew that... "I forgive my little Sunshine" Suddenly a gush of wind hit James, so powerful that he looked away from her direction, once it ends, he quickly looks back at her and she's gone.

"What the..."



-Meanwhile-




Nick stared at the house that was in th middle of nowhere. He held himself as the cold weather took over. The fire has died out, Nick walks up to the front door and gently pushes the door open, letting it swing open on it's own.

"Hello?" Nick steps inside, struggles of a fight from hours before are made clear from the blood on the floor. He looks over down the hall, he sees a light on...

"Hello? James?"

It was from the room he use to sleep in. Suddenly music begins to play. Nick slowly walks down the hall, toward the lit room.

"Home in the valley
Home in the city
Home isn't pretty
Ain't no home for me

Home in the darkness
Home on the highway
Home isn't my way
Home will never be

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm living for giving the devil his due

And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you"

Nick reached the end of the hall and looked into the room, the lamp was on the floor and began to flicker, Nick spotted a folded letter on his cot.

"It's funny what music can do to your memory" Nick was startled, he jumped back, hitting the door to the room. A man stood at the window, staring up at the night sky.

"Who are you?" The man turned around, stopping once he looked over his shoulder, his eyes a golden yellow and a smile spread across his face.

"My name is Legion, for we are many" He fully turned toward Nick, revealing himself. The rest of him seemed meaningless. Nick couldn't take his eyes of his face. He wasn't normal, he was and Nick was sure of this...something else. He opened his palm toward Nick as if he was beckoning him and combusted into smoke and flew out of the window into the night sky. Nick watched as mixed emotions traveled through him. He looked down at the letter and opened it.

"My dearest friend James Lionheart, If your reading this then it means i've carried out my plans to finally meet my sons, Nicholas and David. If anything shall happen to me then i'll need you to burn all evidence of The Legion. The sins of our past must not be repeated...I've done that enough, goodbye my friend..."

"David?" There's more, Nick unfolds the last flap of the letter.

"P.S It's Legion....I think he's escaped, It's important he doesn't come in contact with my sons or any of us for that matter. If my plan works then we won't have to worry about that." Nick looks toward the window, at the night sky where the clouds resemble the black/grey smoke.




-Meanwhile-



James grabs Zane and pins him by the wall, his face, furious while Zane's smile is covered in blood, Zane laughs only pissing James off more.

"WHERE'S NICK?"

"Even if i told you, who's to say you'd believe me?" Zane spits a large amount of blood, it sprays the floor. James doesn't take his eyes off him, Zane eyes meet James followed by a smile.

"That'll be my call" Zane chuckles but holds it back so it's muffled

"I don't know...wait!!" Zane stopped him in time. "I may not know but i might know someone who does"

"Who?" Zane looks away, stilling smiling. He looks back at James, staring at the evil deep in his eyes.

"Shawn"

"Where can i find him?" Zane just stares at James, the same smile across his face. Zane took his chance, he took the moment and turned things around.

"I sent Shawn to spy on Nick two days ago, he went missing" He lied.

"Then your coming with me" James pulled Zane toward then threw him back against the stone wall, busting through it.

Episode 9: Dream A Little Dream Of Me


"Mom, is there any way you can leave the light on tonight?" The boy pulls his blankets up to his chin, the mother smiles, standing at the door way with a small basket of dirty laundry.

"What's wrong with the night light we got you?"

"It doesn't work" The mother puts the basket down and walks up to the Spider-Man night light plugged into the wall. She pushes it in deeper when it comes to life.

"There we are, it was just loose"

"But still..."

"That's enough light for one room, goodnight love"

"But.."

"No buts, goodnight"

"Goodnight" He turns over, she flicks the light off and silently brings the door to the doorway, leaving it open ajar when the boy hears a 'THUMP'. He brings his head up and sees nothing. He lays back down when another thump grabs his attention.

"Mom?" Suddenly the Spider-man night light goes out, it causes panic in the boy.

"MOM! MOM!" Suddenly the boy is snatched from bed and the dark figure who carries the boy jumps outside.

"PATRICK!!!!" The mother screams from within the house, the figure runs into the woods, getting far enough distance from civilization. He places the boy down and drops his hood, revealing the pale skin and black eyes and sharp fangs. The boy closes his eyes in fear, he shakes uncontrollably. The figure hisses at the boy until the figure is tackled into the deep dark forest, the boy looks over and hears the commotion, loud ripping and muffled screams until it just stops. It's silent for a moment.

"Hello?" Suddenly this large wolf steps out of the darkness, the boy is shocked, no longer scared but...kinda excited. He smiles as the wolf takes stance.

"Your..your amazing" The wolf lets out a whimper, short but sweet. He bows his head and the boy comes walking over and pets him until the wolf bits down on his shirt and throws him on back. The boy grabs the fur tightly and smiles, excited still. The wolf runs off.

"Johnny!" Jonathan wakes up from the dream, a smile on his face. He looks over at Claudia who's looking down at him. The start of a new day reveals it orange glow around them.

"Good dreams?" Jonathan smiles.

"You have dog breath" Claudia punches his arm, smiling in shock.

"You take that back"

"Never" David lays in his bed, hearing their talking from across the hall. He stared at the ceiling, he's thoughts consisted of Nora. This mysterious woman held his thoughts, consumed them. Jonathan drew the curtains open, revealing his bare chest, Claudia wraps her arms around him and smiles.

"I wish i could live in this moment" She said, Jonathan smiles.

"Me too"

"Something wrong? She turns him around, he looks down at her, her worried eyes always seemed to make him confess.

"There's something i'm yet to tell you, something that will be a problem down the line"

"What is it?" She stares at him like she's staring down into his soul.




-Meanwhile-



He stops once he reaches the town's welcome sign.'Welcome To Tru Bon' Nick smiles and continues to walk into the town. His head's a mess, the memories haven't returned thus Tru Bon is nothing to him. He spots several fast food restaurants but he feels drawn toward one. Clunkin Good-Time. He walks toward it eventually walks inside.

"What the?" 1950's music plays through the restaurant but it was empty, not even a single sign of someone being in the place was shown.

"Hello?" He steps up to the bar, waits a moment until he spots a shotgun on the floor of the bar. He walks around the bar and picks it up, he sees several boxes of rounds on the last shelf so he just helps him and pockets enough.

"Hello?" It silent, Nick walks around the bar and back outside

"HELLO!" There's no reply, he runs across the street to the restaurant and sees its empty.

"What the hell is going on?" Suddenly there's a growl, followed by another then another. Nick slowly turned and standing there in the middle of the street where three wolves, out in the middle of the morning.

"What the hell?" He stepped back, tripping on the pavement. He crawls back until he gets on his feet and runs into Clunkin Good-Time when one wolves jumps through one of the large windows. He runs until he jumps over the bar. Meanwhile, David exits the apartment and sees the town is empty. Claudia and Jonathan rush out of the apartment, both sniffing the air.

"Wolves!"

"Impossible! they wouldn't break the code!" Jonathan says through his teeth, as his nose flared in anger.

"You guys search the area, something isn't right" both nod simultaneously, jumping over the rail until they hit the ground, morphing once they were close enough to the forest. David grabs his leather coat and closes the door to the apartment, he walks down the steps until he gets to the parking lot.

"Where's the...damn it! forgot" David remembers last night, ramming into James and smashing the Mustang. David smiles, thinking about the alternative but it hits him, he looks up at the sky, the sun hides behind a cloud. He looks down at his hand, shouldn't he be burning up? shouldn't he be on fire? the questions only grew more and more for David but he put them aside, took stance and ran off, quickly becoming a blur when he ran, time felt like it froze just for him as if nothing matters while he was running so fast. He stops once he reaches the main town where the town usually has it many festivals or town meetings. Tru Bon didn't seem big but it kinda was. It was empty...

"Hello?" Nick heard the call but before he could reply, one of the wolves growls at him, paused as he stared deep at Nick. Nick doesn't move as another wolf jumps on the bar not to far from him and another stands at the entrance of the bar. All staring at him with one thought in their heads...food. Nick knew he could shot one in time but the other two were a problem. He had no plan or idea...he let the feeling in his gut go calm then he smiled.

"HELP! he scream while he raised his shotgun and shot the wolf at the entrance of the bar, the other two jumped at him, he quickly hits one wolf with the wood end of the shot gun, knocking it down but it was to late...one bites down on his arm. David hears the call and begins to run down toward the restaurant...

"Who's there?" the voice sounds familiar to him, yet he couldn't put a face to it. Suddenly there's a flash of light and suddenly both wolves begin to cry out in pain until they combust into ash. David pushes through the entrance only to see Nick standing there, he couldnt' believe what just happened, it only made him think of what James had to tell him the first night he came to life. He lets his eyes go to David who's in pure shock as if he was staring at a ghost.

"Your kinda late" David snaps out of it, yet the shock slowly fades as one single tear rolls down David's face, Nick sees that and raises an eyebrow.

"Dude, it's okay...i stopped them, you don't have to cry"

"Nick.." David managed to say, Nick stared at David, he knew him but Nick knew others knew him that weren't good. He quickly raises the shotgun and aims it at David.

"Who are you?" David is confused

"It's me Nick...It's David. Nick, what the hell is wrong with you?" David, Nick remembers the name from the letter, he puts the gun down.

"Your my brother?"

"Yes" Suddenly Nick's arm slowly begins to shake, it travels from his arm to right arm then to his body, it brings him down to his knees as his eyes begin to glow, he opens his mouth to yell in pain but there's nothing, just more glowing from within him then quickly fades, leaving Nick on his hands and knees.

"Nick? Nick, are you alright?" Nick looks up and sees David, he reaches out towards him and David pulls him up.

"I'm fine" He wraps his arms around David and gives him a hug.



-Meanwhile-



Jonathan and Claudia come bursting out of the forest with not one, not two but three dozen werewolves hot on their trail.

"We need to find David!"

"Umm Jonathan..." Jonathan looks up ahead and sees Sarah and Detective Johns Burken. Sarah raises her left hand as if she's beckoning them. the center of her palm begins to glow.

"Jump!" Johns yells, Jonathan and Claudia jump at the same time, both in different directions when Sarah sends out a glowing purplish wave that hits all the wolves, sending them bursting into ash. Jonathan phases back, Claudia phases as well. Jonathan punches a glass window and takes a pair of jean pants, sliding them on. Claudia does the same, only she runs into a girl clothing store nearby.

"Thanks" Jonathan walks out, sliding his arms into a white button up shirt, already wearing shoes with no socks. Claudia comes out wearing a purple dress with the same black Converse as Jonathan. She walks up to Sarah and hugs her, Jonathan smiles and slightly nods at her.

"Guys, this is Johns Burken...He's been helping me find Nick"

"Hello" He shakes Jonathan's hand and Claudia's.

"Are your attacks that powerful?" Jonathan asked Sarah, looking around at all the ash.

"No, that was meant to knock them back while we got away, why they blew up is beyond me"

"Something isn't right" Johns says, looking around

"No people, town full of wolves...what the hell is going on?" Jonathan quickly turns around and sees Cluckin Good-Times far down the street.

"David!" Jonanthan is first to burst into the restaurant and sees David then Nick, he stares at him. Almost in shock but he didn't let the emotion take affect. Nick smiles and jerks his head up. Jonathan smiles when Claudia runs in and sees Nick, her face quickly smiles as she runs over and wraps his hands around him, giving him a tight hug. Johns walks in and sees them hugging, he recognizes Nick off the bat, he turns around when Sarah walks in, she stops mid-sentence and stares at Nick, instantly tears slide down her still face. Claudia steps aside and lets Nick step by step walk up to Sarah. He smiles as their eyes lock on one another. He wraps his arms around her and smiles.

"Through all the blackness in my head, through all the confusion...You some how were the only thing that my mind refused to forget. Sarah, I love you" She closes her eyes and wraps her arms around him.

"Don't ever leave me again"

"I won't"

Episode 10: The Devil Is In The Details


Men reject their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and honor those they have slain.
- Fyodor Dostoevsky


-4 Hours Earlier-


James throws Zane on the cold road where the fight between the team and Zane and Joseph broke out, where moments before Zane killed Shawn.

"Well we've stopped...talk!" Zane drops to his knees, he smiles as he stands up and looks around until he finally turns around toward James, his smile spread across his face.

"Well there's something I’m yet to tell you, Shawn is dead and the twist, I killed him" James in a split second is holding Zane by his neck.

"Then you'll shall follow him"

"LADIES!" the voice came from behind James and Zane, James turns around, Zane just peeks over James and standing there. Wearing a very familiar black coat with a strange insignia near the heart area. The same Nick saw on Legion, the same David saw on Nora. An X in the middle of a circle, stood Shawn.

"Shawn?" Zane wasn't in shock, yet he looked as if he expected this, James just stared at him. Dead or alive, he was going to get what he wanted.




-Meanwhile, Present-



"Then he told me to run and I did...his face looked liked James, hell they even shared the same name but he wasn't the monster James always made him look. He brought me to life. I owe it to him to return the favor" Nick, David, Sarah, Johns, Claudia and Jonathan all walked down the empty streets of Tru Bon.

"Bring him to life?" David questioned

"No, just save him before it's to late"

"Nick, we just got you back, we can't have you running off again"

"I'm not going anywhere" He looks at Sarah. "I promise"

"Promise or not, we need to stick together"

"David's right, people are missing, werewolves are everywhere...something is happening and whatever it is...it's big" Nick nods, as he listened to Jonathan.

"Fine, you can come along...I wouldn't want us to break up the team anyway"

"Team..." David says, he looks at Claudia and Jonathan

"Blake and Andrew? Where are they? I didn't see them when I went to bed last night"

"Blake? he's back?" Nick says, David smiles

"Who knows how he'll take your coming back?" Nick is silent, not sure how to reply

"Which reminds me, Nick...do you know anyone by the name...Nora?" Nick stares at David until he shakes his head.

"Nope, never heard of it"

"Huh? well she said something about forgiving you and something about sunshine" Nick swallowed a large amount of spit, nervous. He looks away, letting the message take affect.

"How about we split up? search for any survivors then we'll meet up at the Hide-Out in an hour?"

"What about wolves? we should partner up" Sarah suggests to Nick, Nick nods

"Okay, Claudia and Jonathan obviously...Umm Sarah, would you mind if David tagged along with me? I need to talk to him"

"Yeah, it's fine" She reaches up and kisses his cheek then walks to Johns side.

"Okay, one hour...hide-out" Everyone nods and takes a different direction of the town. Nick walks off, causing David to catch up to his sudden pace.

"What is it?"

"You asked me if I knew Nora and I’ll be honest with you...I do know her but you have to tell me where you saw her?"

"Last night, I was going to the Hide-Out when she was just standing there. Who is she?"

"Nora is my mother, our mother"

"I thought you killed her"

"I did...accidentally. She must have some sort of healing factor, she might be a Changling. If that's true then I know what we're dealing with"

"What?" Nick looks over at David, David saw the fear in his eyes.

"Kings"





-Meanwhile-




"I staked you...remember? How are you alive?" Zane stood along side James, James wasn't cool with it but he stayed alarmed of Zane as well as Shawn. Shawn smiles, revealing his fangs.

"You did stake me and I went through the most indescribable pain you could ever imagine. But here's one little interesting fact that you missed. I’m a special vampire, vampire blood isn’t the only blood that runs through me…You only scratched my heart, it was enough to kill me but not fully...later that night, my body slowly restored itself and that I have to thank Nick for. His blood is truly special is it not?" James was quiet. "So my body restored itself but I was still weak until I met a strange woman...She gave me more blood like hers and healed me 100 percent with the small agreement that I must join her side until I...retire"

"Retire?" Zane asks

"Changlings are strange creatures, once the heart is destroyed, their mind and body are still useful for an unknown amount of time with enough blood...the body can continue living again until one day...poof, the mind and body catch up and you die"

“So once a Changling is killed, even if their come back to life…They still die?” Zane questioned, only because he knew it pissed James off.

"Shawn, I could careless about your resurrection, Your little reunion can stay between you and Zane. All I wish to know is where I can find Nick?" Shawn smiles, James is serious, a face so piercing, staring at it would make your eyes bleed.

"Nick...Here's a little fun fact about your dear friend. He isn't like most Changlings..."

"ENOUGH! Where's is he?"

"Last I heard, we was bunking with an old man until Zelos came and took the old man but where else would he go if his memory was to return?" James looked over at Zane then in a flash, he was gone.

"So what now? I beg for my life?" Shawn smiles at Zane.

"Your death would be meaningless to me. But I know somebody who wishes to help you succeeded with your mission" Zane seemed curious and intrigued.

"And this person? Who is it?"

"Her name is Nora and she wants to help you, kill her son"

The Midnight Moon
Episode 11: Depart From Me




James bursts through the doors of the hide-out, only to see Nick with his back at him. James smirks.

“Your back” Which was more statement then it was a question. Nick turned around with a smile on his face.

“You don’t sound so happy to see me, sorry I’m not someone more important” James stared at him, he wasn’t expecting that reply.

“W-what? I’ am”

“I bet you’ve forgotten about me…the sweet relief of not having me around, I bet you enjoyed every moment it. Hate to get in the way of something that‘s more important”

“What are you talking about?” James asked. “Nick…” James didn’t know how to react

“YOUR ALWAYS TRYING TO GET IN MY HEAD” Nick took out a gun from his pocket and held it at James.

“It’s James, I’m your friend”

“When have you ever cared about me? It never mattered to you” James could easily stop Nick but he didn’t. He just stood there, letting Nick aim the gun at him.

“Impressive Loki…You had me for a moment” Suddenly Loki phases back to himself.

“What gave me away?”

“You smell of death” Loki chuckles, The gun changes into a sword.

“I can see why you stick around, Nicholas is an interesting creature. I’m guessing you tasted his blood and now your attached to him. Unable to break the bond, I don‘t pity you though…These people are what you‘ve been wanting for so long, their the family you‘ll never have. You do realize you‘ll be dead when the eclipse happens. The very fact you even try to save them…Saddens me“

“Taken a fancy to your new abilities?” Loki smiles with pleasure

“I have…I don’t understand why I haven’t done this centuries ago…But the very fact I was able to trick you so easily tells me there‘s something deep down in you that knows everything I said was true. You enjoyed not having to worry about Nicholas”

“I don’t have to explain myself to you” James walks toward Loki, Loki smirks as he stabs James in the chest. James passes through the pain and pulls the sword deeper in him as he gets closer to Loki as he continues to walk.

“I’m sorry James…” In a flash, Loki was gone. James stood there for a moment, he grabs the handle of the blade and pulls it out, screaming as he does. He throws the sword aside.

“Son of a b*tch”





-Meanwhile-






David grabs Nick by his arm as he walks ahead of him, Nick stops.

“Okay, want to explain? What the hell are Kings?”

“James told me about them when I was young, apparently their leaders of different locations. All are vamps besides like…three. I don’t know but Kings keep their location in order. I bet when James left to Seattle, it was most likely a King that kept him”

“But what would some leader vampire get power to make tons of people disappear. That’s Changling crap” Nick gave David a dirty look. “Sorry”

“Changling or not, I’m sure King of New Orleans will have some kind of information. Want to take a trip to the big easy?” David sighs, he looks away thinking about it when he looks back at Nick with black eyes, Nick steps back as he sees David’s black eyes.

“Your eyes!” David quickly closes them and turns around.

“Damn it”

“David, what the hell happened to you? Why do you have black eyes?” David manages opens his eyes, the normal color is back. He looks at Nick with a deep concern.

“Don’t freak…Once you left with Sarah on your date, I sorta…turned into…a vampire”

“A vampire? What the hell?”

“It only makes sense, dad was a vamp and mom is a changling. You clearly took after mom and I took after that bastard”

“Hate to break the ice but Vampire don’t walk around in the bright morning day. You took after mom also” David didn’t think about that, he sighs.

“Damn it…So I’m some kind of hybrid mix of vampire slash changling?”

“I think more vamp than changling but yeah, we’re just a couple of freaks”

“I guess” David smiles, Nick smiles as well. “I can control myself, don’t worry”

“It’s not like you can bite me without suffering the price, my blood burns…”

“Right”





-Meanwhile-




Sarah and Detective Johns Burken walk into an empty apartment, near downtown mayor’s office.

“Hello? Anyone?” It’s quiet, Sarah looks at Johns. “What now?”

“Let’s check the mayor’s office. There’s has to be something down there” Suddenly music begins to play, not music from this time but another year. It’s music, you’d expect to hear your grandparent’s listening to. It’s somewhat creepy yet beautiful.

“Someone’s here” Sarah said to Johns, Johns took out his handgun and held it down, he walks to the elevator and presses the button and walks off.

“If someone is up there, they’ll be expecting people to come through the elevator” Johns opens the door to the stairs, he stares up as he walks up the stairs, Sarah follows when the music becomes more clear, it came from the second floor. Johns opens the door to the second and rushes in, he aims his gun around and finds nothing. It came from a room down the hall. He looks over at Sarah, Sarah looks at him.

“Quietly” He whispered, Sarah nods as Johns took a deep breath and continued walking down the hall. The music got louder and louder as they got close to it. Room 41 was the only room with the door closed. Johns grabbed the handle when the music comes to a sudden stop. Johns quickly pushes the door open and aims his gun at the first thing he sees. It’s an old man in a black tuxedo, top hat that didn’t compare to Abe Lincoln. White hair that gently touched his shoulders.

“Don’t move, Who are you?” Johns demanded, the man turned around and his eyes were white like a corpse but they quickly change to green and his skin quickly stretches out and clears wrinkles away, making himself look at least 35.

“I had no plans on moving” His voice was raspy from age but it quickly got younger. He smiles at his words.

“Who are you?”

“Oh I’ve gone by many names, some I like…others I dislike. But if you like to call me by a name. I’ve always like the name Thomas, I was going to name my son that but…as life would have he would suffer from a blood clot in his brain. And only four years old, I tell you son…there are thing you never come back from and that is one of them”

“Who are you exactly?” James asked, gun still focused on the man, sitting the rocker.

“I’m just a man who’s like any other, married to his job. Please, you won’t be needing that…besides, If I so choose to attack, those metal contraptions would do you no good” Johns continued to focus on Thomas.

“No thanks, I’ll put it down once you tell me where everyone has gone”

“What makes you think I have anything to do with the disappearance of this town?” The man in a suddenly flash is standing. Hands on his cane that he held in front of him. “Is it because you’re a detective and you know liars? Or is it your issues with your own father? The memories of him keep you awake at night. He would beat you, he would hurt you until all was broken and repairable”

“ENOUGH!” Johns screamed.

“Listen, we’ve gotten off at the wrong foot. You were asking about the town’s people right? Well I’ll be happy to tell you where they are. Right now, they’re all sleeping, in their little dream world but…as I would have it, they’re going to stay that why until I’m ready to awaken them. You see Johns, recent events have caused me to step in. Usually I’m one for watching supernatural stuff happening but today…today is a new day. I’ve decided to show You, Sarah, Jonathan and Claudia….James and my personal favorite…Nicholas, that this world without vampires is a world without people. Like it or not, vampires have made their way into the natural order of life. A life when you push, it pushes back. Now, usually I’m not one to reveal details of this earth’s timeline but soon after the Eclipse, every single vampires that roams this planet will die…No exceptions! If the world’s natural order breaks then I’m out of a job and big man upstairs makes the call and this world pulls a Krypton. So manage to keep three vamps of my choosing alive and well…you will make me a very happy person”

“Wait…What do we get out of it?”

“Life” Thomas said with a certain tone, annoyed.

“Who are you?”

“I’m a man committed to his job” Johns lowers the gun, he looks over at Sarah. Sarah looks at the man, all black with a smile that sent chills down her spine.

“If we say yes, will people of this town return?”

“Oh no, your group of friends haven’t learned the lesson yet. Once the eclipse is over then shall the people return, unharmed and all thinking they’ve been sleeping”

“What about the month and day? They’ll know it’s different”

“I’ve been outwitted several times in my younger years but I’ve managed to come up with an idea that’ll bridge that gap. So is it a deal?” The man holds his hand out, it looks lifeless.

“Yes” As soon as Johns finished the word, he shook his hand and the man was gone. Where he stood laid a piece of paper with three names on it. Sarah and Johns read the names, daring not to speak it aloud. Johns pockets the list, he looks around the room and walks off, leaving Sarah alone to think about what just happened.




-Meanwhile-




From within a brightly lit room was vanilla colored curtains that surrounded the brown and vanilla colored bed. The window was cover and locked, there she sat on the edge of the bed. Nora, still wearing the same clothing expect no coat. Leather shorts with a black boots that traveled all the way up to the bottom of her knees. She usually wore a black coat around her waist with A blue and black vest that was tight against her chest. She combs her hand through her short black hair when Zelos comes walking into the room.

“Where’s James?” Nora asked.

“Secured but barely breathing”

“Just like I asked” Zelos smiles as he steps up to her and gently places his hand on her cheek, looking into her eyes.

“What can I say?….I’m whipped” He leans down and kisses her lips but she pulls away and crawls backwards onto the bed, Zelos smiles as he crawls onto the bed until he’s on top of her.

“This is the last time we’ll get to do this, after today…Life is going to change forever” Nora said, Zelos smiled.

“Then let’s make it special” Zelos grabs her leather pants and pulls them off, revealing her panties. They start kissing as his hands feel her warm body. Her right hand unbuttons his pants but he uses his spare hand to unzip. He rips her panties off and kisses her hard as he pulls her close and thrusts into her. She moans as he continues over and over, the moans only get louder and louder. Her hands travels up his shirt, feeling his warm back, she scratches down, cutting deep into his back, he smiles as he does it harder and harder. Underground, locked away in a cold, dark cell with hardly any light, is James Lionheart (Earl Grey). He holds his bleeding chest as the moans get louder from where he sat.

Episode 12: I Never Knew You

1:45 PM



“You have to rub the wires together” David says as Nick leans into a black mini cooper, Nick leans his head up.

“I don’t see you trying this, so shut up”

“Wanna just go on foot? We’ll be there in like…25 seconds”

“Like I hold onto you while you….speed run to New Orleans? Sorry Edward, I’m not Bella in this story”

“Oh come on!” David grabs Nick’s shoulder and runs off, becoming a blur. Meanwhile, James Lionheart (Earl Grey) sits on the floor of the underground cell when Nora’s moaning comes to a stop.

“Thank god, it’s finally over”

“Hello?” James brought his head up and looked around. “Is there someone else here?”

“My name is…” James didn’t know if he could trust whoever was locked down with him, so he lied. “Earl Grey. Who else is here?” Suddenly they came into the light, it was Blake and Andrew, both pretty hurt but alive.

“I’m Blake and this is Andrew…I can’t…see you” James pulled himself up, using the bars and stood up, holding his bleeding chest, that was yet to heal. He walked into the light when Blake saw his face, he saw James, the friend he knew for years, only with long silver hair but this was his father.

“James?”

“Blake, I know that name. You know my son don’t you”

“Son?” James chuckled as he leaned against the bars of the cell.

“My son and I share the same looks as well as the same name. My name is James Lionheart, you know my Son…James Simms Lionheart”

“You’re his dad? But I thought you were dead?”

“James didn’t think highly of me”

“Clearly”

“How did you two end up down here?”

“On our way home from Clunkin Good-Time, some woman was standing by our hide-out when she confronted her, black bags were put over our heads and we were knocked out, we woke up from the…moaning”

“Zelos most likely brought you two here, Zelos is a very powerful Changling like Nicholas, Nora is the woman you saw, She his master”

“You know Nick?”

“Yes but listen, it’s very important we get out of here. They have no reason to keep us alive. You guys got any ideas how to get out?”

“Yeah, this metal is non-silver metal. It’s not stainless steel so it easily breakable. With enough power, we can break through this metal” Andrew just randomly says, Blake looks at him, one eyebrow raised.

“What? This isn’t the first vampire cell I broke out of” Suddenly a gas leaks into the cell room, that knocks both Blake and Andrew out, James hit’s the metal bars over and over until he falls down and blacks out.




-July 14th, 2007-



A young Blake is thrown at the wall, he quickly ducks when a vampire claws at him. He’s suddenly shot in the head with a long silver arrow. He vampire drops to the ground when Blake stabs him in the chest, killing the vampire.

“Thanks for the save” Blake looks over when Abby steps out of the shadow. Abby smiles when she walks up to Blake and pulls him up.

“No problem” Blake grabs the arrow and looks at the blood on it. He sighs

“Let’s head home and clean up” They leave the alley when a group of vampires quickly surround them, Blake and Abby are back to back.

“Think you can enter our city and start whacking us off” Blake chuckles.

“I’d choose your words wisely next time” The vampire gets pissed, eyes flare black and fangs come out when the all the vampires jump at the two, Blake closes his eyes along with Abby, both accepting being out numbered when suddenly the sound of ripping and breaking, screams followed by tears of body parts then it comes to a stop. Blake opens his eyes, Abby does as well and standing there, breathing heavy, blood from the severed heads he held in each hand, up his arm to his elbow was covered in blood. He wore a long black coat and his hair was to his shoulder.

“Thank you doesn’t quiet express our feelings” Abby says, Blake smiles.

“WOW! That was…wow!” The man looks up, revealing to be James. “Thank you”

“What are you kids doing in Vampire territory? Gotta death wish?” being called a kid wasn’t Blake’s favorite thing to be called, he pouts and makes a fist.

“Kid? Look at you, your barely even taller than a normal fifth grader”

“Go home, don’t come back here”

“Wait? Who are you?” Abby asked.

“A vampire looking for a meaning” James walks off.

“At least let us thank you properly, I mean if you’re a vampire who’s looking to be good then…we can help, imagine two vampire hunters teamed up with a vampire…We’ll be unstoppable” James chuckles.

“Why would two kids want to stop vampires? They’re a growing population” James replies to Abby.

“You refer to vampires as them when your one. If you won’t join us then come with us to our hide-out and get cleaned up, beats cleaning up in the lake” James looked over at the kids, the offer was to good to be true. It took awhile but they walked home with James. Blake unlocked the hide-out and pushes the door open. It wasn’t covered with books or anything, everything looked normal, like a normal apartment.

“The bathroom is just down the hall” James looks at Abby.

“Thank you” James walks off into the bathroom, Abby looks at a pissed Blake.

“What is it?”

“Kid? Soon we won’t be kids and we’ll be able to kick ass like he does. He doesn’t even look 20, he’s a kid too. Which is every reason why he should join us” James took a nice, hot shower. The heat wasn’t felt on his cold body. He cleans the blood off his hands and watches it drain. It took about 5 minutes to fully get the blood off him when he finally turns it off. He cleans himself up and sees a pair of fresh clothes on the toilet. He gets dressed when he sees himself in the mirror, his long hair seemed to bother him now. He grabs the pair of scissors from the cup on the sink and starts cutting his hair. Abby and Blake sat on the couch, waiting for him to come out when the door finally open. Abby and Blake quickly jump up and face the hall when James comes walking out with his now well known look. Short, spiky hair with a charming face. He smiles as he walks up to them.

“Thanks for the clothes and the shower? You guys didn’t have to”

“We know but…it’s not everyday we’re saved by a vampire”

“Right, thanks again…”

“I’m Abby, that’s Blake”

“You two family?” James asks.

“Oh no, Blake and I used to live next to each other when both our parents were killed by some vampires, we escaped with help of our friend David. He’s next door, probably sleeping” James nods at the pointless information. He looks around at the apartment.

“Vampire hunters huh? Interesting jobs for a pair of 13 year olds”

“HEY!” Abby elbows Blake

“We’re looking for the vamps that killed our parents, we haven’t found them yet”

“Killing vampires is a dangerous job, I don’t want you to be…killed or worse, turned”

“Once we find our parent’s killers then we plan on stopping” Blake said.

“Which is why your help could be helpful to us” Abby said, Blake nods. James smiles.

“I can’t just find a vampire I’ve never seen or anything like that. I mean…” James saw Abby and Blake’s face. He sighs then smiles. “I’ll help but it won’t be as easy as it sounds, I’m busy training with a vampire is very powerful, if he learns about this then my life would end on the spot, I might know someone who can help but…I would have to find him, His name is Ni…” Suddenly there’s a knock on the door, James looks at Abby and Blake. “Expecting someone?” Both shook their head.

“I guess you want me to answer?” Both nod. James walks over to the door, he turns the door knob and opens the door, setting his sights on the first thing he sees.




-Now-



James closes the door to the truck that Nick and David were just at, he looks around.

“He’s far…damn it” He reaches into his pocket and takes out his phone when he notices that it’s dead. He throws it aside. “Damn it” He closes his eyes and tries to see what Nick is seeing and sees nothing, which usually means he was sleeping, dead or eyes were closed tightly. James opens his eyes and sees three large wolves not far from him. One growls as the other like their chops.

“I’m stressed the hell out, I was just stabbed with a silver sword that I’ll be honest with you three, hurt like hell and my friends are missing, so I highly suggest you step aside before I rip you damn heart out” The wolves don’t budge. James smiles, his smiles, revealing his fangs. “I’m yet to feed, so you’ve actually have done me a favor” His eyes go black. “Let’s go”




-August 24th 1998-


A young Nick walks home with James, who hasn’t aged a day over 17. It’s still dark out and not a word has been said between the two, moments ago Nick saved James life.

“Why are you following me?”

“You saved my life”

“Well I save someone being attacked, I thought I step in”

“You didn’t have to”

“I know” They went silent again until Nick reached his home, instead his dead mother and father still laid.

“I smell the same blood that’s on you, in the house. What has happened?”

“I killed my step-dad and mom by accident, well I killed my step-dad on purpose, I don’t regret doing that. My mom was the accident” James sighs as he takes his coat off.

“I’ll clean up, wait right here” James went back inside the house and cleaned the mess up, he walks out, wiping the blood of his hands.

“I buried them in the back, is that okay with you?”

“It’s fine” Nick quietly says, still in a self shock.

“You okay?”

“You’re a vampire aren’t you?” James is silent. “Well you’re the first I’ve seen….It’s kinda cool” James smiles.

“No, it’s pathetic”

“I don’t think so, I think it’s awesome, like Superman or something” James for the first time in his life, he smiled and actually meant it.

“Thanks. I better go, the sunrise is just around the corner. You think you can meet me at the Cluckin Good-Time at like…midnight?” Nick nods.

“Sure”

“Okay, goodbye”

“Bye” James runs off, Nick looks at the shotgun and throws it as far as possible. James comes to a sudden stop as Zamxus, Zane’s father stands before him with his hand out.

“I really recommend you come with me, you have great power that need to be controlled. I can help you control that”

“Just leave me alone”

“The boy saved you and you repay him but attacking him and hiding his mommy and daddy, 6 feet underground. There’s going to be an accident and won’t have the strength to stop yourself. You’ll kill him and I know you don’t want that”

“Fine, just…shut up” Zamxus smiles.



-Now-


Jonathan and Claudia are turning the corner when Jonathan sighs and catches up with Claudia.

“Why are you ignoring me?”

“Jonathan, You told me you killed Joseph when he begged for his life. I know you were blinded by hate because of what he did to us but that’s just wrong on so many levels. I love you and that feeling will never change” Sarah walks out of the apartment when she quickly pushes Johns and hides inside, letting them argue outside. “I know we’re not in the pack anymore but I still follow the rules and you broke them”

“I killed Joseph for you, he hurt you and I couldn’t let him life for that. Everything I do, the reason I wake up is for you, if you told me to leave and never return, I’d do it, blindly. Claudia, you’re the reason I live, you’re the reason I breathe and if I broke one wolf law then I’m guilty but I honestly think your overreacting, it‘s a stupid, unimportant law”

“It’s important to me and if you loved me then it would be important to you” Claudia looks down at the ring on her finger, she pulls it off and offers it to him, Jonathan looks down at it.

“Jonathan, I don’t think it’s best to get married right now. I think we need to work on ’us’ but we can continue a life together”

“I don’t understand, where will you go?”

“I’ll be around, I just need time to think” Jonathan is quiet. “I love you, don’t forget that”

“I know” Claudia nods, she turns around, phases and runs off. “You can come out now” Sarah and Johns step out.

“Jonathan, I’m so…”

“Find anything?” He didn’t want to hear it, he quickly changed the subject and Sarah saw that.

“ Yeah, let’s get Nick and David and I can tell everyone at once what we’ve found” Jonathan nods, holding the ring tight in his grip.




-125 Years Ago-



A large chuck of wood hit’s land and a man steps out, wearing clothing from the 18 century. Jonathan pulls a map out and quickly reads it, he looks back at his men and nods.

“It’s here” From within the jungle, someone watches. Jonathan looks over and sees movement. He takes out his pistol and aims it in that direction.

“What the hell?. You men set up, I’ll be right back” Jonathan goes running off into the jungle, the unknown person keeps running, clearly ahead of Jonathan.

“Stop…please” Jonathan reaches a cliff, he looks over and sees a splash and sighs.

“Damn it” He steps back and jumps, he falls about two stories until he crashes into the water. He quickly swims out and sees a woman, barely any clothes on with long brown hair with tan skin.

“Wait” She turns around, revealing it to be Claudia.

“A woman?” She quiet, only looking at him as if she stares through him. She quickly cocks her arm to throw a large rock when Jonathan pulls his gun out and aims it at her. She smiles at him, he raises an eyebrow.

“I may be from a jungle but even I know that your bullets are now useless” The water was Jonathan’s first thought.

“You speak perfect English? I wasn’t expecting that”

“Bet you weren’t expecting this” She throws the rock, it hits his head and knocks him out. She walks over to him and picks him up is arm and starts dragging him. About three hours pass when Jonathan wakes up in a tent. He quickly sits up, breathing heavy. He hears commotion outside, he pulls is shirtless and only wearing a underpants. He grabs the blanket and wraps himself in it and steps outside when the people in the village quickly gasp when they see him, Claudia walks up to him with a smile, the pity smile knowing he’s stupid.

“You knocked me out”

“You chased me, I think we’re even”

“You never answered my question, how do you know perfect English?”

“Your not the only American boy I’ve seen, now come…I want to show you something”

“Well what’s your name?” She smiles at him.

“Claudia, yours?”

“Jonathan, your name is beautiful” She nods.

“I know, now come” She grabs his hand and brings him to a much larger tent where a chief sits with a small fire before him, she sits and forces his hand down, which makes him sit.

“People of the village have been blessed with amazing power, we’re great ancestors of the wolf clan Itsato. Claudia brings me the man who tainted our ground and risks angering the wolf clan in the spirit world, if the spirit world is angered then they will curse those who are bitten by a wolf and they shall suffer the curse of the wolf clan.” He opens his eyes and looks at Jonathan.

“Your people have entered our lands, your risking at changing the world forever. I suggest you leave with your people”

“I would but…” He stares at some of the people circled around the fire, each angrier then the last. “I’ll get my things and my people and I will mark your land as inhabitable. I thank you for caring for me when…” He looks at Claudia. “I was knocked out” The chief nods when a cry breaks out, Jonathan and the people inside the tent rush out and sees strange men, shooting and kill villagers.

“Where’s the gold?”

“Your people?” The chief asks, Jonathan shook his head.

“No” He told the truth, Jonathan grabs Claudia’s hand as several of the men throw fire on some of the tents when Claudia’s mother is shot.

“Mom”

“We have to go!” Claudia pulls away when Jonathan pulls her and together they run off, The chief stands there in awe.

“We’ve been cursed”





-Now-



Claudia was back in her human form, new clothes that includes a purple shirt with a black coat over that with fur on the hoodie and tight jeans. She hugged herself as she walked the empty street.

“Claudia?” She stopped and turned around, standing there was James. James smiles, in a split second, he’s in front of her, she wraps his arm around him.

“It’s good to see you James, I thought Seattle was your home now” she released him, He scratches his head and smiles.

“Well I didn’t come back to see the gang, I came on a mission but I think that when to hell but I’m here again. Where’s everyone else? I when to the hide-out and it was empty”

“They’re a couple streets over, you have any idea what’s going on here?”

“Not a clue, I’ve never seen something this great been done before, not even a Changling can do anything this size. We’ll come on, let’s go catch up with them” Claudia looked down and then back at James.

“Me and Jonathan are sorta not doing good”

“Listen, it’s dangerous to walk these streets alone…You don’t have to talk to Jonathan if you don’t want to, just stick with me then” He offers her his hand, she looks down at it and smiles.

“Sure” Nick and David arrive in New Orleans, it’s empty as well, Nick takes a moment to catch his breath.

“Damn it David, I hate it when James does that”

“Oh calm down, we’re here aren’t we?” Nick looks around and shrugs.

“Are we?”

“Looks like we’re not the only one” Nick and David walk down the street and check the areas when David suddenly goes flying back, crashing into a wall. Nick turns toward David when he’s thrown back and crashes into some trash cans. Zelos and Nora walk up, both with smiles on their faces.

“Bring them back to Tru Bon, I have some business to care for here”

“What about the old man and the homosexuals?”

“Take them back to Tru Bon and burn them, make it…beautiful. I have a meeting” Nora turns around when Zane and Shawn walk up. Nick opens his eyes when he sees Zelos staring down at him, he winks and kicks him in the face, knocking him out.

“Whoever fight monster should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster” James opens the door and sees a package, he picks it up, off the cement floor. He opens it and pulls out a folder with Nick’s information revealing little facts about Nick until a sticky note is on the front page, it reads ‘Second page’ James turns the page and what it says leaves James in questions, he didn’t know what to think because it reveals that Nick is not a Changling.

“And when you look into an abyss…” A young Nick walks into Cluckin Good-Time and sees James and smiles, James gets up and smiles back, in the back of the room, Nora watches with a smile on her face.

“The abyss also looks into…” Jonathan and Claudia sit on a small boat as it travels in the middle of the ocean, Claudia is upset, tears once traveled her face. Soon to arrive to a small jungle where they both will be turned into werewolves.

“You” Zelos carries Nick when Nora wipes his face and kisses Nick’s forehead, she looks up at Zelos and nods, he walks off.

The Midnight Moon
Episode 13: House Of The Rising Son


-1968-
New Orleans


She walked the streets, proud and beautiful. Her skin was pale white with a small mole just above her lip. Her hair gently passes her shoulders, it curled resembling angel wings. The dress she wore was sexy, a silk white that sparkles under the right light. Her lipstick was a powerful red, she holds her small purse in front of her. Men and woman who spotted this walking beauty were quickly drawn in by her beauty.

“Excuse me” The girl stops in her tracks, she doesn’t budge. The man with a loose tie and untucked pants is clearly drunk, he looks back at his friend who lean against some building.

“My friends and I were wondering if you did…group jobs and if so how much?” The girl looks over at the young gentleman, she smiles.

“I’ll tell you what, you boys caught me in a special mood. I’ll do it, on the house” She taps the drunk man’s nose an winks. The young man was caught off guard and silent. He blinks several times, he looks at his friends then back at the girl.

“You serious?” She winks again, she smiles the biggest smile, She walks up to him and fixes his tie and pulls it as she walks off, he gives his friends the signal. She leads them into the alley where they surround her, some already unbuttoning their pants and pulling their pants down. She smiles.

“We got some big boys…Unfortunately, my boy is bigger” Suddenly a large shadow covers all the guys, they look up in fear, She walks off, letting the sound of slashing of claws into skin and cutting of limbs and bones follow her. The muffled screams bring a smile on her face. She turns the corner and stands there, waiting for it to be finished. When a man steps out and looks over at her, he throws his head back and his hair goes flying to his back of his head. His face is angry, his hands covered in blood, along with his mouth. She throws him a bottle of beer, he grabs it and washes his face and hands.

“How long are we gonna keep doing this?, Nicolai. This girl has seen to many shapes and sizes already and I’m getting tired of gig” He dries himself with his shirt and smiles.

“Nora, I’ve done this job for much longer than you and trust me when I say I know what you feel but if you want to stop then I’ll stop. Besides, I’m King of Kings, I walk these streets, fearless and proud…I just don’t like…” Nora sighs and shuts him up by putting her finger on his lips.

“I’m pregnant” She says, he sees her worried eyes, she holds her face with his hand and kisses her lips.

“Marry me” He whispers, her eyes overwhelm with tears as she kisses him back, shocked by the news.





-Present-



Nick opens his eyes, he’s laying on the cold cement floor, arms behind his back tied and mouth duct taped over. He opens his eyes wide to see David is tied up as well but with metal chains, he sees James(Earl Grey), tied up in chains as well. Nick has a gash in his head that covers his forehead, down to his left cheek with blood.
“Mhhh Mmmm” He says through the tape, nobody hears him. He manages to sit down on his butt and breath in and out of his nose. He sees nobody around in the dark room, already knowing what to do. He breathes through his nose, getting himself ready as he pulls his hands under his butt, he takes another deep inhale and exhale as he jumps off his butt and forces his hands over his legs, his shoulders making a cracking noise but he manages to get his hands to his chest, he feels another crack which was his body healing what he broke. Nick pulls the tape off his mouth and starts breathing heavy. He takes the rope off his legs then his hands and looks around.

“Earl…Earl” He doesn’t wake up, he looks over at David, he runs over to him and shakes him, even smacking him but nothing.

“Sh*t“ He takes out his phone from his pocket but it’s has no signal.

“Your not going to get a signal down here, your several feet underground” Nick looks up and sees nothing, suddenly light after light come on in the room, like a scene from a crappy horror movie. Nick tries to adjust as he sees Zelos leaning against the cement wall.

“You?…Zelos”

“Yes”

“You fought James, you’re a changling like me” Zelos scuffs.

“I wouldn’t go that far, I’m nothing like you”

“What?”

“I’ve been given direct instructions to watch you until she arrives”

“She as in my mother” Zelos smiles at Nick’s statement, Meanwhile James and Claudia arrive two streets over to find Sarah, Jonathan and Johns walking in their direction, they quickly see James and Claudia and rush over to them.

“James?” Jonathan says once he walks up. James smiles as he walks up to Jonathan and shakes his hand, Jonathan sees Claudia behind him. “Oh right, you’ve never met Sarah or Johns. Sarah, this is James…Nick’s best friend” James walks up to Sarah, Sarah walks up to James.

“You smell like him” James awkwardly says, Sarah smiles.

“It’s nice to meet you” She holds her hand out, James shakes it.

“So have you found Nick?” James releases her hand, Sarah looks at Jonathan then at Johns.

“Nick is with David, he hasn’t arrive and now I’m getting worried” James closes his eyes, he wants to feel what Nick feels, he wants to see what Nick sees but there’s nothing but he feels…threatened.

“He’s close”

“How close? Sarah asks, James looks up then he quickly drops his head, he opens his eyes in shock and looks up at Sarah.

“He’s underground”



-1979-
New York


Nora sits in front of a mirror, putting lipstick on while she sits in her black skirt and only wears a bra.

“Mom, where you going?” A cute black haired boy with blue eyes that resembled the sky.

“Hey baby, Nicolai wants to take me out, it’s been ages since we’ve done something. Your sitter will be here in a moment”

“Is it James again?”

“Yes, you said you liked him” The boy moans. “Oh come on, hey…if you be a good boy, I’ll let you go out with dad and hunt” The boy smiles, revealing small fangs, the boy hasn’t stopped aging yet.

“Okay”

“Okay good” Nora says, she finishes her lipstick and places it down. She grabs her shirt and puts it up. “Zip me up, Zachary” He walks over and zips the zipper on her shirt, she smiles, looking in the mirror. “Does mommy look good?”

“Very”

“Good” She pinches his cheek and kisses it. “We’ll be back soon, I promise”





-Present-





Meanwhile, Nick is thrown against the wall, he drops to his knees and starts coughing from the hit. Zelos smiles,

“Yeah, that hurt” Nick stood up and dusts himself off, he looks over at the room with everyone still knocked out. He looks back at Zelos and smiles. “You know your just a pawn right, my mother is using you so she doesn’t have to do any of the dirty work”

“I rather enjoy helping your mother, before I met her I was a man without a fate, I was weak and had no reason. After the fall of the Templar, I went into hiding and lost all that I held dear, my wife and daughter were brutally killed in my home, I became a monster…killed those who wished me dead, it didn’t take long for me to become King of New York but soon I discovered my crown was taken from me by your bloodsucking father. He took the Crown of The King Of Rome and claimed it for himself, he’s first order was for me to die, wooden stake through the heart was his choice but I was quick and fast, I left the states and went to…”

“I didn’t ask for a life story”

“Fine, long story short…I love being on your mother’s army, being on the front lines gives me more pleasure than she’ll ever know”

“What do you think the front line is for….First to fall” That’s pissed Zelos off, his eyes grew white, his arms bursts into white flames. Burning his shirt off as he walked toward Nick. Nick saw Zelos walking toward him and panicked. “Damn it” Nick looked around, he spots Zelos sword that fell to the floor, Nick took off running at Zelos, Zelos throws a blast of white flames at Nick, it hits his shoulder but didn’t stop Nick. Nick slides and grabbed the sword. He removed the holster and stabs Zelos in the heart when Zelos grabs Nick’s neck, quickly burning his skin. agony and pain could be heard through Nick’s screams as Zelos looks down at his heart, he drops to the ground, releasing Nick. Nick wants to touch his neck and stop the pain but it’s to messy when the skin heals, eventually healing his whole neck.

“Your mother…tell her something for me”

“Why should I do anything for you?”

“Because you wouldn’t want…the blood…of your friends...on your hands”

“Who?”

“The homosexuals, their lives…are running short”

“Where are they?” Zelos smiled as he bleed to death.

“A bomb will go off in less than 10 minutes, once it does…they’ll both be dead”

“How do I stop it?”

“You can‘t…But if you get there In time…you can“

“What do you want!” Nick’s yelling woke David open then it woke Earl up. Zelos smiled….

“You must tell your mother…Luca Venta Cos Wen Vee” Zelos begins to close his eyes when Nick said it to himself and kicked Zelos, Zelos opened his eyes.

“Where are they?”

“Your apartment” Zelos lets his last breath escape and die, Nick runs to the room with David and Earl in it. Nick takes the chains off David then rushes over to Earl.” There’s a bomb in the hide-out, Blake and Andrew are there!” David, Nick and Earl ran off.

James walks with Zachary into a large grassy field in the middle of the night, Zachary quickly jumps at James, James ducks and throws Zach pass him.

“Quick but you always need to plan your attacks before you react on them”

“How many vampires have your trained?” Zach says getting up.

“Lots, now I want you to come at me with your claws” Zach lets his claws slowly come out, he steps back and jumps at James but he speeds up when James dodges but he manages to get clawed at by Zach. “Good” His wound heals.
“I got you, nice”

“Okay, now I want you to come at me again but this time…I want you to try and kill me, let all your built up rage finally be release, let it consume you, let it be your friend and let it direct your attacks” Zach stares at James, letting every time he’s been angry, every thought that angered him take control and let the hate build up. He starts rushing at James, eyes fully black with fangs out. He leaps at James and spins, he slashes over and over at James. James slightly steps as he dodges each attack.

“Enough” James says but Zach doesn’t stop “Zachary! I SAID ENOUGH” He simply back hands Zach, it sends him flying back. “You keep that kind of power up and you’ll end up…” Zach wasn’t moving. James ran over to him and noticed his neck was broken. James stepped back in shock.

“No..Zach? ZACH!”

“Sh*t!” Nick suddenly begins to glow orange. He takes the rope and rips it off with one tug, Blake and Andrew stand up.

“RUN!” Nick yells, Blake and Andrew run off the apartment when it blows, throwing everyone back with Nick still inside. James stands up as the place that Blake and Abby grew up, the place that seemed everyone was safe in, burned to the ground. The whole abandon apartment facility was ablaze with the hide-out almost gone.
