The Midnight Moon
Episode 1: The Trip


"Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep, if I die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take, Amen"

2 young children pray on their knees, their mother pulls the blankets down as the children jump into the bed

-1891-

"Tomorrow, you two shall take a bath; I'm starting to see dirt behind your ears"

They spoke French, One child with a head of black hair, the other brown. The mother looks over at the doorway, the father leaned against it

"My dearest children, sleep...Rest those tired heads"

"Night Father"

"Goodnight Pop"

The children turn over and close their eyes, the mother kisses their forehead and leaves the room with the husband, she closes the door and walks to the table and lights a candle

"Has he arrived?"

The mother whispers, she then looks over at the father. He seemed distance, Quiet. He nods

"How long has he waited?"

"Mona, Please...There has to be another way"

He begged, still whispering

"Quinn, My sickness has grown worse, Doctors say I won't live another month, It's either this or death"

"Then why choose death?"

"He is a good man, He has a good heart"

She explained, the father looked away

"Becoming a monster is something I wish against"

"Quinn, do you love me?"

She said, placing her hands against his face, wiping the escaping tear that fell down his cheek.

"I do"

"Do you want to live with more forever?"

"I do"

"Then this is something I must do"

A knocking on the door interrupts them

"We must not leave our guest waiting"

She walks off, opening the door and revealing a long blond hair man, He stares down. He wears dark clothing with jewelry on his arms and around his neck. He looks up, revealing piercing green eyes

"I was called upon..."

The man said, His voice quiet, the mother nods

"Please, come in"

He walks in; the father stays still, The Visitor chuckles as he takes a seat

"And they said we're colder than statues, when your husband hasn't blinked since I arrived"

He joked as the father walked out the home. The Visitor spoke French beautifully. The mother pulled a chair up and took a seat in front of him, He grabbed an apple and cleaned it up, rubbing it against his shirt

"Will there be pain?"

She asks, His lustful eyes stare at her, she can't look away drawn in, hard to look away

"No, In fact this pain is the pain those will feel in hell for eternity, pain will bathe you like the fires of hell."

She looks down, nervous. Wiping her hands against her dress, He places the apple aside and grabs her arms. He leans in and stares at her, she's scared. He moved with a speed that didn't give the eyes time to catch up, He was a blur.

"Don't fear Madam, I promise to be gentle"

She nods, He releases her as he stands up and walks to the sink, He grabs a rag and warms it under the hot water, not burning him, it was a slight tickle

"I expecting a child of my own"

She quickly looks at him

"Expecting?"

She questioned, He smiled as she placed her arms around her thin chest.

"You're pregnant, did you not know?"

He tells her as he turns the sink off and walks back to his seat with the rag

"You do realize, if I turn you...Your child will be one as well"

She quiet, she nods

"If I die, the child will too and I cannot do that to a child"

"Good"

He gently cleaned her wrists, She was still nervous

"I expect 1,000 euro after wards alright?"

"But you told me 550 euros earlier"

"And now there's a child involve, turning children is illegal and since i am...i will be asking for more"

She nods; He raises her wrist toward his mouth

"Are you ready?"

"Wait..."

There's a brief moment of silence

"You're expecting children as well?"

He nods, lowering her wrists

"How many?"

"Mt wife is expecting 1 boy"

"Will he be..."

"Like myself?...Yes"

"Have you chosen a name?"

He smiles to her question

"He shall be named after myself"

He raises her wrist

"Your name is?"

"James...James Lionheart"

His eyes turn all black, fangs longer than any finger on a normal hand. They spike out and he bites her. She lets out a hellish scream

-2009-

A hood smacks down, Nick cleans his hands off. Nick had longer hair, He had it spiky. He wore a tight white shirt with a blue flannel hanging over his shoulder with dark jeans. James is in the front seat, James looked actually the same. He was drumming to a song playing. Nick gives a thumb up, James nods. He turns the key and the car comes to life. James smiles as he gets out of the car.

"Finally got the old beast to run"

It was a summer morning, the sun hotter than hell. They stare at a beautiful 1976 Ford Mustang. Fresh black paint, windows dark but not to dark, James pats Nick on the back as he gets in the car

"Let's go!"

James runs to the front seat, Nick gets in the driver seat and closes the door behind him

"Wait!"

Yelling is heard, Nick looks in the rear view mirror and sees David, walking with a backpack over his shoulder. Nick sighs as James looks in the mirror

"What does he want?"

"Probably wants to come with us"

Nick says, bummed

"Well I know the reason you don't want him to go but it could also be a great way to see if he did make those blades for Shawn, Cause Shawn could have been lying"

Nick nods, hating when James was right

"Your right"

Nick and James get out of the car, David walks up. David was buff but thin-ish, taller. Ear length hair wearing a black shirt and jeans

"Mind if I hitch a ride with you guys?"

"As long as you pull your own weight around then fine, you can come"

James says, David looks at Nick

"No disrespect James but I wanna hear it from Nick"

Nick looks at David, the tension could be felt

"Nick, I know we had word exchanged a few days ago but it's nothing we can't put in the past"

"I'm totally over it, Why is it when I got out of the hospital 3 months ago...You've been treating me like I was ex girlfriend trying to get back in your life?"

James watched

"Nick, it's because Abby has a crush on you, that's why I've treated you the way I have. I apologize for my jealousy"

Nick looks down then back at David as he lies to Nick

"Really?"

Nick asks

"Really really..."

David says, Nick nods towards the car, David smiles

"Thanks..."

Nick opened the car door, David gets in the back. Nick gets in

"Texas, here we go!"

"It's been 3 months since my little...encounter with Shawn, Things have changed, a lot since then. I will never trust David but I have to have him on my side in order to find out his mysterious side he has. James hasn't left my side since Shawn attacked me, He thinks Shawn will pop out and kill me and I can't blame him. Shawn hasn't been seen in over 3 months, James has great sense of smell and hearing and he says Shawn hasn't been around. Shawn is either dead in a ditch or alive and planning the world's greatest revenge"

Nick, James and David travel through New Orleans, toward Texas

"Blake and Abby have been...distance, Blake also has been acting strange. He's always alone, he's in a terrible attitude and is always working, Abby and Blake had this huge fight and now neither of them talks to each other. Blake one day vanished, Abby found out he found Zane, so she went to stop Blake before he did something stupid, that was yesterday. Their somewhere in Texas, God only knows what they've encountered"

They pass the Texas welcome sigh as the night dawns closer

"Texas has had more vampire encounters then Hollywood has had vampire movies. Texas and Paris are number one vampire locations, Tru Bon is where Vampires are welcomed, it's safe and protected for their kind"

They pull the car over

"Since the incident with Shawn, I've been on this path of finding out what actually I am, Abby told me the story of what happened to me when James bit me, She said David grabbed me and we became this light. I continue to look and So far all the answers end up in Texas, So not only is this a trip to stop Zane but it's a trip to figure out what I am. James would of never aloud it, David...I could careless what he would want. Somewhere in Texas the answer to what I was lays...question is, Will I like what I am? Or will I not?. I'm not sure but I think I'm gonna focus on Zane and kicking his ass"


The look up, A large black painted church in plan sight. They look at each other

"You guys ready?"

Nick says, James nods

"Lets get this over with"

David walks toward it, Nick and James follows. David grabs the door handle and pushes the door open, As he does, he quickly stops

"STOP WHERE YOU ARE BEFORE I SNAP YOUR NECK!"

[spideyfan914]

I remember this! Oh, nostalgia! When are you gonna post the rest?

[Nickpick]

The Midnight Moon
Episode 2: Revenge Is A Dish

David stopped where he was, He held his hands up. A man walked up, He wore a long maroon church gown (Think Pope clothing but Maroon). He has silver hair; He's old in his 60's as he walks up to David, Nick slams his trunk shut.

"Guys, did you know it's an hour ahead..."

The old man was the same man from the feed, He looked at him, the old man stared at Nick.

"A Vampiri?"

David looked at Nick, another piece to the puzzle took it's place in Nick's head.


-Meanwhile-


Abby pulled the scooter into the gas station, she took her binoculars out and saw Blake inside the store, buying a drink. She puts them down and sighs

"Blake, I understand why you want to do this alone but we're partners and we need to stick together..."

She repeated the line, obviously practiced on the ride there, Blake leaves the store, Abby gets off the scooter and jogs over to Blake, Blake looks over and sighs

"What are you doing here?"

Blake rudely asks, he walks off and she follows.

"Blake, Listen...I understand why want to do this alone but we're partners and we need to stick together"

Abby said, waiting from a response from a speechless Blake, He sips his drink then puts it down. He puts his backpack down, unzips it and pulls a photo out, He hands it to her. She doesn't know who the man is in the photo. It's of an Asian vampire

"Who's this?"

Abby asks, Blake takes the photo from her hands.

"That's the bastard who killed both of our parents"

Blake said, Abby's expression changed from shocked to sad, Blake stands there, to prideful to hold her.

"I thought you were going to stop Zane...I didn't know you were trying to stop that...that monster"

"No pin intended"

"What?"

Abby asks, Blake shakes his head.

"Nothing but listen...I wanted to kill him myself, I wanted revenge for what he did"

"That would be reckless, Blake...I see you as my big brother, We grew up together but we're partners until the end besides...I want to put one of my arrows through his skull"

Blake smiles as Abby makes a fist

"Lets find that son of a b!tch"

Blake nods, Abby wraps her arms around Blake in a sudden burst of happiness.


--Meanwhile--

"It's been so long Nicholas Vampiri?"

"No, My name is Nicholas Wise, You must have me mistaken"

Nick tells the old man, he lied of course

"Come in, please...We must talk, you must have questions"

Everyone walks in, the old man walks up to a fountain that's up to his waist, Inside was clear water, The old man stood on the other said, David and Nick, James in back walked up

"Please, may I see your finger?"

David looks at Nick then back at the old man, He offers his finger, The man pulls a knife out and quickly cuts David's finger, the blood drops into the fountain, the water spins, clearing the blood

"Your crazy"

David said, holding his finger

"Your clean, You may take a seat"

David takes a seat, Nick walks up and offers his finger, The old man cuts it, The blood drops into the fountain, The water clears the blood

"May I ask what this fountain does?"

"This isn't just some fountain, its called "El Niño's"

"The Children?"

David asks, understanding Spanish

"It said that Children can tell a different from a clean man and...a dirty one. A dirty person is not allowed in this church. So you may take a seat"

James walks up as Nick takes a seat, James offers his finger, the old man cuts it, The blood drops into the water, The water tries to clean it but it can't, the water turns red. The old man looks up at James

"Tainted Blood...You must leave this Church"

James looks at Nick and David, Nick stands up

"But he stays with me"

Nick tells the old man, putting his arms out between the old man and James

"I questioned how a vampire like yourself could stay out in the sun, your blood is tainted, and you've brought shame amongst the vampire name"

The old man pushes James out, James leaves the church. Nick looks at the old man

"Alright, what actually is going on here?, Who are you?"

"Names Raphael De'Stat, Friend of man that looks actually like you"

David remembers the photo, He reaches into his pocket and pulls the photo out and shows Raphael, and Raphael pulls his glasses out and looks at the photo

"Aw, Those were good old time, That's Nicholas Vampiri and his brother Davidus Vampiri, They created this church, Well that's how the story goes but I know the true story, Of how Nicholas killed his brother and stole the plans for the church, hoping to make a human/vampire bond and in which, He was successful when I see 2 humans traveling with a vampire, specially a tainted blooded one"

The old man says, giving the photo back. Nick grabs the photo before David grabbed it, Nick looked at it then back at Raphael

"That looks like me, David...That looks like you, What in the hell is going on here?, David why didn't you show me this before?"

David took a seat, he sighs, looking at Nick

"Because I knew how you'd react, Nick as long as I've known you and it hasn't been long, you don't react well with bad information. So that's why I didn't tell you"

"You son of a b!tch and I can't believe I let you in my car"

"No doubt you're his children, Well that's one reunion I don't want to be around to see"

Nick and David look at the old man

"You're saying this man, Nicholas is my father"

Nick asks, David stands up

"Davidus is mine?"

David asks, the old man turned around from walking away

"No, I'm saying Nicholas' both of your fathers"

"And he's alive?"

Nick asks in shock from all the news, David tried to reject the idea of Nick as his brother.

"Yeah, and he's in Texas"

James sat on the sidewalk of the church, he looked around. About a mile away he saw Midnight Moon billboard, He stood up and ran over, He stops and looks up at it, It reads

-Try the new Midnight Moon Energy Bar-

James smiles, liking the idea

"I might have to"

Suddenly he hears a silent shot, a noise most ears can't hear, he turns around when a dart hit his neck, He quickly becomes dizzy, he drops to his knees then turns on his back as he slowly blacks out, footsteps walk up.

"Well Well Well, look what that bastard dragged in, a vampire...I was planning to torture you through out the night but with you now adjusted to the sunlight, it gives me more times to enjoy it."

James looked at the man's face, standing there is Shawn, Holding a large sniper in his hands.

"Shawn...you..bastard"

James blacks out, Shawn smiles, revealing a set of two large fangs

"Let's have some fun"

The Midnight Moon
Episode 3: Ironic

"I have a rendezvous with death, at some disputed barricade. It may be he shall take my hand and lead me into his dark land and close my eyes and quench my breath. I have a rendezvous with death and I to my pledged word am true, I shall not fail that rendezvous."

Nick reads the poem, He slams the book shut, rolling his eyes. In front of him a library of thousands of books, David walks up from another room with the photo in his hands.

"Why does it sounds like poems always capture future problems of the world? the world could be on fire and there would be a poem talking about it. Poem's never age, they never die...They only get stronger...which is why i hate them so much"

Nick says, throwing his book aside. david raises an eyebrow and takes a seat on a nearby bench.

"Nick, what are we doing here? Zane is gone and probably has been gone for awhile. If were here to find where our...your father might be then we're wasting time."

Nick takes a seat next to David, he looks over at the picture. He scoffs, David looks at it too

"Vampires huh?"

Nick says, he chuckles once. David smiles

"Vampires"

"So are we...brothers?"

David quickly says, Nick looks away and shakes in disagreement

"I don't want to talk about it"

"Why? Why is it so wrong to be related to me?"

"It's not that...it's just...raincheck on this conversation ok?"

"Right"

David says, looking over at Nick, Nick stares aimlessly at the ground. He blinks then looks at David

"We stay the night, tomorrow we leave okay?"

"Okay"

Nick stands up and walks off, David looks at the picture

"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it"

In the back, the old man was in his office, Nick sticks his head in

"Excuse me, can we talk?"

Raphael nods, Nick walks in and closes the door behind him then takes a seat, his foot taps against the ground, letting the anxiety take over.

"So let me tell you the situation of why we're here..."

Nick starts but Raphael interrupts by putting his hand up.

"If you like to meet your father I could give you his address, He promised I wouldn't tell anyone where he is but I think he'll make an acceptation"

"What?, no...The reason me and my friends are here is because..."

"Why are you friends with a vampire?"

"What? Oh, that's a long story, I saved his life, He saved mine...we're friends, okay...The reason we're here..."

"Just seems odd"

Raphael interrupts again, Nick's getting angry

"SOMEONE IS ON THEIR WAY TO KILL YOU!"

Nick yells out, Raphael is in shock but he doesn't show it, he just blinks repeatly

"Sorry, I didn't mean to yell"

"Explain to me what's going on?"


--Meanwhile--


Abby and Blake were in a diner; Abby takes her phone out and looks at it

"Alright, what's going on?"

Blake asks, Abby looks up at Blake

"What?"

"It's the third time you've looked at your phone since we've been here"

"It's David, I'm concerned about him"

"He's a big boy, He can defend for himself"

Blake says as two plate of food are put down in front of Abby and Blake.

"Thanks...So when is little blakey here gonna have a girl friend?"

Abby says with a smile, picking up her fork. Blake smiles as he looks at his food.

"Well i was going to wait to tell you but might as well do it now"

"Do what?"

Abby raised her eyebrows, curious

"I guess...i guess i'm gay"

He says, shrugging. He picks a fry up and deeps it in the ketchup, Abby stares at him then smiles.

"Cool"

"Your not mad or anything?"

"What you want to do is your choice? I'm glad you told me"

"Okay...cool?"

"Cool"

Abby takes one of Blake's fries and takes a bite

"Oh yeah I sort of told everyone where Zane is, so everyone is in Texas somewhere"

Blake sighs, He picks at his food and slams his fork down.

"That's just fantastic"

Blake asks

"I don't know, they might be at the Church, Want to check it out?"

"It's couple of miles out of the way where we need to go"

"Well...So we're just going to do..."

Blake puts his finger on Abby's lip, she shuts up, she jerks away from Blake's finger. Blake points as the Asian Vampire walks into the diner

"He's here"

Abby looks at him as he walks in and takes a seat, Blake reaches into his pocket and pulls out a knife, He switches it on turning into a stun knife

"Wait...you didn't want to tell me you were gay, you knew he was coming here"

Abby figured it out, Blake barely listens to her. He's more focused on Kui, The asian vampire.

"We need to get him outside"

Blake says, putting the knife down


-Meanwhile-


James sat in a chair, arms tired to his back, he looked down, everything to him was hazy and moving quick

"Don't worry, running through your veins is a high toxin that could bring down an elephant, hunters use it to hunt criminal vampires but I guess that's the ironic part, when all vampires are guilty"

Shawn says as he takes a seat in front of James, He smiles

"Your teeth..."

James mumbles, trying to open his eyes but the light above him was to bright, His pupils were dilated and it hurt to see.

"Yeah, I guess I should be thanking you for turning me into the monster I so hate. I guess that's another ironic story"

"But the sunlight..."

James speech improved, Shawn chuckles as he grabs James' face

"You know I questioned that myself. Let's go back to the day in the warehouse 3 months ago"


-3 months ago-


"You ended my life, I felt the slow, painful string of the venom in my body, killing my nerves, did I say killing I meant improving my nerves"

Shawn narrates, His body lays on the cement ground. He coughs blood

"I felt my muscles improve; I felt the venom travel through my blood like pins and needles traveled through these veins. I accepted death, I wanted it. I felt the pain, I could only imagine what you would do to me if you saw me as a vampire, plus the place was coming down, so i left."

Nick's blood traveled through the floor, touching Shawn's open wounds


-1 day later-


"I fixed myself up when I noticed something a little odd when I woke up"

Shawn lies in his bed, bandages wrapped around his neck; He stands up and looks at himself in the mirror

"My wounds, the pain in my neck and through out my body was gone, I felt like a new man, a new person. I knew I became a vampire but I didn't care, I never felt so...so alive"

Shawn feels his neck, the bite marks are gone

"I wanted revenge, I waited in my apartment all night. I knew about the sunlight and what it did. I wanted to kill you so bad but I thought, maybe there was something worse I could do...maybe there was something I could do that'll be worse than death...I was going to kill Nick but he was in a coma as well as you. I was in the hospital without a plan...cause face it, there's no pleasure in killing someone in there sleep, it's a cowards move. So I overheard this girl and boy, I think they were friends of yours. They mentioned Zane traveling to Texas to kill the entire first vampires and how they needed to help you and Nick stop him. That's when the dice rolled in my favor"


-Present-


Shawn pushes James head to the side and sits back, He picks up a bottle of Midnight Moon and sips it

"You know..it's not Midnight Moon that ages vampires. it's the moon when midnight strikes the moon gives off this...lets say ray of light, not really but like how the sun gives sunlight so does the moon. But you know how the sun gives out ultraviolet lights that hurt Vampires? well the moon's is a weaker light and it doesn't burn, It just ages the vampire giving a all new meaning to The Midnight Moon. That why they must drink human blood to stay immortal, improve those aging cells in us."

Shawn puts the bottle to James nose, James eyes turn black, and Shawn also turn.

"I'm going to keep you here for awhile until your blinded by your thrust that you'll feed on the first person you'll see that when Nick will fall right into my trap. You're going to kill your best friend then when you've killed him...I'll kill you"

Shawn stands up, smiling. He gets close to James left ear.

"Hope your thirsty"

Shawn walks off, James weak mumbles

"No"


--That Night--


"dun dun dun dun dun!"

A man sings as he drives a blue pick up truck. He 5'6 with shaggy dirty blond hair, He turns the music down.

"Metallica, I'll never understand your awesomeness"

His phone rings, He takes it out

"It's Jonathan....Claudia, I um...right...i'll be right there"

He hangs up, He pulls over; He looks ahead, seeing the Now Entering Texas Sign. He lets the engine running and gets out of his car. He removes his shirt, revealing his abs and muscles. He takes his pants off then removes his boxers. He's completely naked; He walks to the middle of the road.

"AWWWW!!!"

He yells as he drops to his knees, He starts to change, His skin gets darker and darker, and it rips off revealing fur, long, thick fur. His head changes into a wolf like face, Eyes change from green to yellow. He's feet into paws. He's become a large werewolf. Taller than a horse, bigger than a rhino. He smells the air and looks around, He lets out an ear piercing howl toward the moon then runs off

-The Midnight Moon-

The Midnight Moon
Episode 4: Guess Who's Coming To Dinner

Nick lays, shirtless in a bed cot with the blankets over him, He holds his phone open with a phone number dialed and the caller ID contact says "James". He pressed 'Send' and put the phone to his ear and got his voice message

"Listen James, I don't know where you are but I...I can't do this anymore, Tomorrow I think we should go back to Tru Bon. If you get this message then please call back. Thanks"

He hangs up, He looks over, and next to him was David in his cot. David turns over, still awake

"Nick, can I ask you something?"

David quietly asks, Nick looks over at David. He knew what the question was, he could feel it coming but the answer would be clueless to him as it was to David.

"If it's the whole brother thing then no..don't ask me anything"

Nick turns around in his bed, throwing the blankets over him, David sits up, he looks at Nick, mouth in a frown.

"It's about James"

"What about him?"

"How do you trust a vampire? knowing they kill innocent people every minute"

Nick is quiet for a moment, he pulls the blankets down and turns toward David.

"Wanna know something funny?, At first I thought he was just messing with me, making me his pet slave or whatever but years passed and he became more than a friend, he became my brother. I trust him with my life more than I trust you"

David felt terrible, eyebrows pulled down almost insulted

"I'm your brother, how can you not trust me?"

"I don't want to get into this right now David, Please just let me sleep"

Nick turns over, throwing the blankets up to his neck. David sits up and lets the blankets fall to the ground. revealing his white muscle shirt and black boxers.

"No I want to hear something from you"

Nick sits up and looks over at him, face tired and serious.

"What?"

"Call me your brother"

"It hasn't even been proven that we are related. that old man could be delusional"

"Call me it..."

Nick smirks then chuckles, He lays back down and closes his eyes

"Maybe when I'm dead, I'll think about it"

"Nick, call me your brother or I won't let you sleep"

David said, Nick sits up and looks at him, he was now angry and impatient.

"David, understand something I trust my life with a vampire, I wouldn't trust you a single dollar..nevermind my life. David, I will never accept you as family, As long as I'm breathing you'll be a major pain in my ass. Now go back to bed"

Nick says, ending the sentence with a smile, David launches off from his cot and tackles Nick on the ground, He starts punching him.


--Meanwhile--


"How's my favorite vamp?"

Shawn says walking into the room, James was weak. He had his eyes closed as he leaned over, still tied.

"You're not ready yet but soon..."

"Shawn...I swear...I'll kill you"

James weakly said, Shawn smiles when he hears a ring from James pocket. He takes it out and looks at the phone

"One missed called from Nick"

James continued to look down, weakend and thristy

"Let's hear this shall we?"

He plays the message...

""Listen James, I don't know where you are but I...I can't do this anymore, Tomorrow I think we should go back to Tru Bon. If you get this message then please call back. Thanks"

Nick's voice came from the phone, Shawn threw the phone against the wall, smashing it to pieces.

"Aww Nick doesn't like Texas anymore; to bad...Well little does Nick know. Tomorrow he won't live long enough to see midnight"

Shawn laughs as he leaves the room, . James quickly sits straight, His claws barely reach the rope but he quickly moves his hand up and down, cutting the rope with a hungar in his eyes.


--Meanwhile--


Jonathan walked up to a large tribe. Indian men and women were everywhere, cleaning, cooking and caring amogest their kind. As well as werewolves. It's was a community for wolves. Jon stared at them all as some walked to him and smelled him. He let out a growl, they growled at him. Jonathan continued to walk; He saw a large black wolf, green emerald like eyes with large fangs. He walked up to it and the black wolf looked at him, the black wolf ran off, Jonathan followed; they ran into tipi where they changed into humans, both naked. Jonathan looked at the once black wolf. He's an Indian teenager with large muscles, short brown hair and brown eyes. This boy looked as he could be one of the popular kids in high school.

"Claudia said he hurry back, what's up?"

The boy said in a mysterious voice, It was deep but soft

"The bloodsuckers that killed Neko still reside here. We plan on attacking...tonight"

"What about the truce?"

Jonathan stepped up, their nudity wasn't a problem, it was awkward but it wasn't a problem. The boy spoke again but his tone had changed, it was more demanding

"They broke the laws our ancestors created, this is eye for an eye. You among all people should be more accepting to that.."

"The truce says if an elder is killed, little Neko was a child with no blood of the wolve in him. It's saddening i know but revenge isn't always the answer"

He looked over at Jonathan, anger filled his body. He reaches out and grabs Jonathan by the neck.

"If you want to play puppy and hide with your tile between your legs then be my guess. those murderous vampires are laughing at the pain they've caused us. So the truce speaks of no revenge unless there's reason but the truce would make an acception. They've drawn first blood well i'm going to paint the floor with their's. So you can obey my every command or can have your head snapped. Your choice?"

He releases Jonathan, Jonathan gasps for air, holding his neck

"Which is it?"

Jonathan stared at him with hate, he fell on one knee and bowed. The boy smiled


--Meanwhile--


Nick pushes David against the library of books, hurting David's back. David swings at Nick, punching him across the face, Nick steps back. David punches him again, Nick swings, David ducks and uppercuts Nick, Nick dodges and kicks David back

"ENOUGH!"

Raphael stood there, arms out, stopping them.Nick was breathing heavy out of sync with David's breathing. Nick wiped his bloody lip while David let his nose bleed.

"You should be disappointed with yourselves"

"He started it"

Nick says, David looks over at Nick then Raphael

"It was him"

David says, Rapheal looks over at Nick the back to David then back to Nick.

"Enough, I have someone I like you to meet"

David looks at Nick, Nick at David then back at Raphael. From behind Raphael stood a tall, wearing nothing but a black suit, white tie, He had short silver hair, he looked like Nick but much older. Bright blue eyes that matched Nick's.

"I guess i should have came sooner"

The man smiles, revealing his perfect teeth with two sharp fangs that didn't need to eject, they were already out.

The Midnight Moon
Episode 5: "Regret for the Past and Fear of the Future"




"You weren't answering my calls, you had me worried"

Shawn said sarcastically as he twirled a small knife on the table, mindlessly ignoring it.

"Yes, James is in the back room. Weaker than a dog in the Tucson sun"

The person on the other line continues to talk, the voice is soft so it's no clear what he's saying.

"But if I do that then.."

Shawn sits up, gripping the knife tighter.

"Yes, he'll kill Nick but I just need Nick nearby...now?, he's been hungry...I understand, alright...It's done"

Shawn hangs up, he lets the anger reach his boiling point and he stabs the table, breaking it in two. He stands up and puts his phone in his pocket, He takes a key out and unlocks the back door.

"Okay, you're ready..."

James was gone, the window was wide open and the cold breeze blew the curtains in the air. Shawn doesn't get angry, He smiles, he closes the door but breaks it off it's handles. James runs through the dark street, stumbling back and forth. He falls over when paws are heard running up to him.

"Perfect..timing.."

James was several miles now from Shawn's Cabin but that didn't matter, Shawn could been there in seconds. James uses very little of his strength left to get up, he looks over at the darkness of the street. When a pair of 3 glowing eyes stand out in the darkness. The height was bigger than any human. James smiles...

"Damn it"

Three werewolves walk out of the darkness, each one growling a different growl. The tallest was chestnut brown and his brothers were the same height but their fur were different colors. One was a red hazelnut and the other was a dirty blond. The tallest walks toward James while the other walk around him, all smelling the vampire's scent. Each one looked at each other then back at James. James smiles as he eyes revealed his weakness, James lost strength in his arms and fell hard on the ground, blacking out. The tallest morphed back into a human, revealing their dark tan skin with long hair. The naked man grabs James and carries him on his shoulder.

"Back to the village"

The others ran off, the man ran into the desert following the large wolves. Like a speeding bullet, Shawn races down the road until he catches up with James scent. He stops at the middle of the road and smiles as he smiles the wolves scent.

"I guess it's out of my hand now...old man"



--Meanwhile--


Nick puts a shirt on; David leaned against the wall, still shirtless and still angry. Raphael had walked into his office, leaving the father in the main room with the boys.

"Raphael told me about Zane, Don't worry about him, he no threat besides we have a man looking into finding him and eliminating him"

"A man?"

Nick clearly pointed out as he crossed his arms. Nicolai smirked as he took a seat.

"Human? Oh god no..He's a vampire...a special one at that.."

Nicolai said, His voice was tough and demanding. A voice that could make a threat and stand behind it.

"The joy i feel to stand in the presence of my two boys"

He says, Nick smiles, shakes his head then walks off

"Where are you going?"

David asks, arms crossed, the anger spread across his face still.

"That man's not my father and your not my brother...I gotta go find James then I'm getting in my car with or without you"

He busts out of the Church, Nicolai smiles

"He gets that from his mother"

Nick walks off and takes a seat

"Where have you been?"

"What do you mean, David?"

"I mean why it takes an old man to tell us our father is alive and kicking"

David was upset and angry, His nails began to dig into his skin.

"Your father isn't the most respected man. Your father has enemies and so I hide. Texas is quiet, nobody expects Vampires to last long out here but I manage"

"Then why now? why come out now?"

David asks finally let his arms down, his face wasn't that angry anymore but it still remained, he looked upset to the point of tears.

"Because I grow old son...i've been around for centuries, I've witnessed the purge of the vampires in the 1800's, I've seen the rise of them in the early 1900's but this is a different time and a different moon. Vampire can't live forever and i now know that"

Nicolai stands up and walks over to David, placing his hand on his shoulder.

"David, I'm dying and in a few days my reign will be nothing"

"What do you mean?"

"I created this church"

"Bull"

David says, interrupting. Nicolai smiles

"Caught red handed, Fine. I stole the plans from my brother than killed him. True, as soon as it was finished I became King of the Vampires but my elders didn't want me of such people, someone with power...they saw..."

"Corruption?"

"Correct, So they told me they'll give me the reign when I have children and a wife to show I am responsible until then I wouldn't have no reign so I went off and for 300 hundred years I found no woman able to satisfy my thrust until I meet her. Lola, A beautiful woman, Eyes of blue, long brown hair and a powerful aura that'll make men drop to their knees; you see she was an Anora"

"Anora?"

David asks

"It means...Fairy"

David laugh, doing his best to hold it back, Nicolai smiles

"My son, their name might be child games once heard but they exist. You know the people you see ringing the bells in front of stores around Christmas time?"

David nods

"They're fairies, the people who basically care about this aging planet is one too. Activist...disgusting breed. Anyway it says that fairies were created when Jesus was crucified. With his remaining energy he created a good soul or fairy....I'm getting off track...Oh right we made love"

"Oh god"

"Our love was sweet, passionate. We were free, the world never existed once our naked body connected"

David became sick, looking away and ignoring the images that ran through his head.

"We created our own world. We made love non-stop, from every hour of every day from every day of every week"

"I get it, she was a babe"

David held his stomach

"Anyway, I got her pregnant. That was the happiest day of my life until they were born"

"Well that's something every child wants to hear"

David adds but Nicolai ignores him and continues

"Instead of being born Vampire, She gave birth to two human children. I was so filled of rage that I killed every man I saw, I killed the women, children and animals. I became the monster i was and I hated every moment of it. I didn't harm Lola, She ran away with Nick when he was five and I only had you. Every time I saw you, I saw her and my brother. You had his image and her eyes. I couldn't stand you, I wanted the hills to run with your blood...

Nicolai's hand on David's shoulder began to dig in, his nail cut straight through David's skin, David steps back from the pain.

"I had some of my finest hit men take you somewhere to kill you then when they returned they told me you've escaped"

"You wanted me dead?"

"My son, Understand that I was a different, much angrier person but I've changed, the disease inside me has made me into a better person. David, I was given King of Vampires not to long ago and I can't let that reign fall when I leave this world. David, I need someone to take over my reign and David...Your that person"


-Meanwhile-



Nick walks down the road, hands in pocket and thoughts to himself.

"James!"

He yells but nothing

"Damn it, Why did i let James hold the keys?"

Nick continues to walk when he kicks a rock in the middle of the road; it goes to far and disappears in the darkness.

"Damn, there goes my only entertainment"

Nick looks from the street to what's in front of him when he sees a truck, it's empty. Curiously, he walks over.

"Hello?, Excuse me I'm looking for man, He's about 6'1 and..."

Nick walks over to the window and sees it empty, He looks around.

"Hello? Anybody taking a midnight steam?"

No answer, Nick shrugs and opens the car door, He gets in and looks around. No pictures of loved ones which normal truckers probably had. The radio was off and it was clean like beyond clean. There wasn't a wrapper or stain or anything. He twists the key and engine comes to life.

"I'll return the car once I find James...sounds like a good deal. What am I kidding I'm gonna get my ass handed to me when they find me"

Nick says turning the radio up.

"Metallica, nice"

He turns it down, not feeling the mood from the music. He looks at the front seat and sees a now 5 pack of Midnight Moon drinks. He grabs a bottle and looks at it.

"Midnight Moon, Synthetic Blood Nourishment"

He reads the label; He opens the bottle, glimpsing at road now and then and smells inside. His face becomes sour.

"Smells like a rotten corpse...that's terrible"

He looks at the bottle than back at the road

"Ridiculous, I won't..."

He says to himself, he looks back at the bottle, tempted. He slowly puts it to his lips and raises the bottle and tilts his head back, as he opens his mouth and lets the drink go down his throat. His eyes suddenly turn pure black as he continues to drink the whole bottle as the blood pours all over his body. He's no longer in control, He throws the bottle aside; He maintains the car with one hand as he takes another bottle and squeezes the glass, the blood splatters all over him. He licks it off his hands as he grabs another and opens the cap, He starts drinking when he stops. He hears his heart beat. From outside the car, Nick lets out a loud painfully scream. Monstrous in the beginning but painful in the end, James quickly sits up, holding his chest, shirtless and under the covers in a tipi.

"Nick!"

David and Nicolai look toward the front doors of the church, Raphael sticks his head out

"What in the hell is that?"

David asks

The truck suddenly blows up in a thousand million pieces. Metal scarps fly everywhere, Nick, Nowhere in sight

The Midnight Moon
Episode 6: The Prophet


His ears listen to the sound of the quiet night sky, his nose smells the smell of faint burning rubber and gas and his eyes...his eyes open to the night sky.

"Ugh"

He lets the pain exit as he pulls his head up from the cold street; He looks around and sees a desert mountain lion. He lets his head rest back on the street.

"Did you see anything?"

The mountain lion runs off

"Coward"

Nick feels his body and sees' he's not wounded, a few cuts and bruises but nothing serious. He finally leans up and lets the sore ache take it's tole. He pulls himself up and stands on his noodle like legs.

"That's why I'm a Ford man...ahhh"

He cleans himself off. It was around 4:00 AM, He looks around again and there's no signs of life anywhere. One things that stands out to him is the fact his clothes are in burnt but still on him.

"Last I remember is..."

Nick closes his eyes and the flashes hit him, each one lead to the explosion. He quickly opens his eyes

"I...I was in a f**king explosion"

Nick panics; He looks back and forth at the street and starts running south, towards the Church



--Meanwhile--



Blake cocks his gun, putting it around his back then puts two guns into his holsters. He puts a bag of metal balls in his pocket, he picks his left pant leg up and attachs his old sling shot to it's holster around his leg and covers it with his pant leg. Abby sits on the bed, bow and arrows ready but she looked distressed, something bothered her.

"Blake...Let's run...away from all these damn bloodsuckers and just relax in Paris...or Hawaii..."

Abby stops, the emotion of fear, regret and loss started to rise in her voice, Blake is silent, face narrowed with her words.

"He killed our parents; He deserves to be burned alive for what he did"

A tear rolls down Abby's face as she stands up.

"Don't go...for me"

She silently says, Blake stops and just looks down

"You told me we'll start a new future, A new life...Blake, I want this man dead too but not if it's going to cost a life"

She says as her tone rises, Blake looks over and gently holds her face with his hands.

"I'm not going there to die...I'm putting the past behind us so we can look at the future, Abby...You're the only family I have left, I know we're not blood but I love you like a sister. Abby, you're the reason I continue to fight, you're the reason I continue to breath. If I stopped now...I'd stop being the man my father taught me to be. Understand that what I'm doing...I'm doing it because I love you"

Blake releases her, she looks away; He looks at Abby as she stands there, no eye connection. He walks up to her and gently kisses his cheek.

"Blake, I..."

"Listen, If I don't come back...I want you to use the rainy day money and I want you to skip town, go to Italy..I hear it's nice this time around"

"Italy?"

"Bread, Pizza...Garlic...how can you lose? But stay out of trouble, your a smart girl and your future isn't killing vampire...for all I know you'll become a detective and try to bring down the mob"

"I'd be taking a move from your play book"

Both smile, Blake walks off toward the door.

"What are you planning on doing?"

She asks as the last second, Blake opens the door.

"What's right"

He closes the door behind him, she sits in the bed and lets the tears run down.



-Meanwhile-



"I don't understand, father...you want me to continue your reign?"

David is now clothed and clean, his face is confused and upset. Not because he was sad but because he didn't understand it all.

"Nick is too independent and stubborn. he'll rule with an iron fist but you, I see the pride of our family name when I look at you"

"Father, I'm...speechless"

David didn't take it as good or bad news, suddenly the doors fly open, standing there is Nick. Nick walks in, over the fallen rubble of the church. Face angry from recent events that he doesn't look at David but at his father.

"You won't believe what happened to me"

David and Nicolai quickly look at him, David's heart raced, Nicolai just smiled, a smile that hid a thousand deaths.

"I'm but an old man, you'll have to speak up"

Raphael sighs at the fallen church doors.

"I was in a car explosion and didn't get hurt; Dear father would you like to explain that?"

"You're more of your mother than you know"

Nicolai said, Nick didn't love the thoughts that bridged between his mother and himself. He ignored the words and buried them deep.

"What in the hell does that mean?"

David shook his head, the story could only do Nick harm.

"Don't ask"

David told Nick, Nicolai put his hand on Nick's shoulder, Nick jerks away which sent a displeased feeling in Nicolai.

"May I speak with you in private?"

Nick walks off, walking upstairs and down to the end of the hall. Nicolai follows, Nicolai tells Nick what's happening, He retells the whole story as he told it to David. Nick doesn't let a single emotion arise in him. He ignores them totally and lets the anger he felt walking in settle in.

"You're dying?"

Nick said moments later after the story. Nicolai frowned and nods.

"That's why I'll need you to become King because you'll rule with our family name and David, He'll rule with power and corruption"

"David is slow and abit power hungry..."

Nicolai smiles letting his plan take Nick in.

"So?"

Nick thinks about it

"King Nick?, I'm not sure, I'll have people after me and my friends"

"Well Raphael tells me that you are friends with a vampire and a tainted blooded one at that!. James will protect you"

Nick smiles, he looks down then back at Nicolai

"What's so funny?"

"I never told Raphael his name, How do you know that was his name? how do you know James?"

Nicolai curses himself.

"David told me..."

"No dad...i never said his name...."

David said, standing at the doorway, arms crossed.

"You did...I swear of it"

"You were planning on having David and I fight to the death over some chance to be king? How cliché!"

Nick said as he laughed at Nicolai and mocked him. Nicolai's eyes grew black with fury, his teeth became sharper than any knife.

"I'LL RIP BOTH OF YOUR HEARTS OUT AND THEN WE'LL SEE WHO'S LAUGHING!"

Nicolai rushed at Nick, Nick quickly grabs the gold cross on the wall and smacks Nicolai in the face, it sent him to the floor, burning. Nick presses it against his face.

"My mother was a whore, she beat me around and never loved me....My step-father raped and abused me..."

Nicolai screamed with pain on the floor from the crucifix, he struggled but Nick kept it tight against his face.

"I know something about liars and you father....your a terrible liar!"

Nick stabs Nicolai in the heart with the crucifix turning Nicolai into a pile of ash. Nick stands up and looks over at David.

"I guess i owe you an apology"

"Yeah, same here"

Nick and David stare at the ashes, Nick looks over at David and offers his hand. David reaches out and shakes it.


-That Morning-



A young blond girl wearing thin clothing treated James wounds as he woke up. He looks around at her, She smiles

"Who are you?"

She spoke a different language and he didn't understand, He looks at his body, he wears a white muscle shirt with dark jeans. He jumps up and looks out the tipi to see the large tribe of Indians.

"Where am I?"

"Calm down or I'll calm you down"

James turned around; standing there was the teenager who talked to Jonathan. Tan skin, large muscle and wore nearly nothing but cloth around his waist.

"My name is Joseph; I'm lycanthropes or what humans call...Werewolf"

James looks at him then at everyone else.

"That explains the smell"

James said, a smile grew but Joseph didn't laugh.

"You've made our plans of revenge more of reality and possibility"

"So that's why didn't you kill me?"

James asked, Joseph smiled

"No, We will kill you but after you have helped us. You see a filthy bloodsucker has killed our own and we seek revenge, you'll track this bloodsucker down, lure him to us and we'll rip him to parts slow and painfully"

Joseph smiled, revealing a large set of teeth.

The Midnight Moon
Episode 7: Vampire (Part 1)


"They're been reports of sightings of several different kinds of creatures through the years and only about 5 have been seen in the united states alone. Vampires came out several years back when a series of deaths couldn't be solved in where the victims were drained of their blood and bites marks on the neck remained. Only having one choice a group of vampires came out making the vampire a name to fear. Turning fiction into reality but it wasn't all bad. Crimes was at an all time low and deaths were at an all time high"

James narrates

"There's been reports of creatures that reported to look like werewolves, some have seen glowing bright lights in the shape of humans, some say they look like tinker bell only...more human but those reports have been debunked as fictional thinking and false claims. New rumors appear like a family of bigfoots or bigfeets?...some report aliens and other like crocodile man and batman. Humans are so full of imagination. I'll believe those reports when i see Superman shake my hand and tell me 'everything's going to be already'"

James opens the opening to the tipi and stares at the people

"I'm 19, well kinda...I've been alive for 119 years but my genes are still young. My father James Lionheart and Mother Sarah Lionheart were beautiful people and i loved them dearly. My mother was a local in the town of Tru Bon before it became alitte mini Vegas. She worked as a nurse to the local hospital and my father...He was a vampire, He stole, cheated and did what he could to make my mother happy when i came into the picture things changed...forever. I was born into a world i didn't understand, I was born vampire, fangs and all. Why i stopped aging at 19 is still more a mysterious than if little green men are walking about on Mars. My mother died when i turned 5 which caused my father to go into an emotional spiral. He hated me and wanted me dead and i don't blame him. I was the reason for my mothers death. Her body took alot of damage when she gave birth to me and she refused to become a vampire, My father wanted me dead...hell i wanted myself dead"

2 werewolves follow James as he walks through the village, he touches flowers some sell, he smells all the meats being cooked and smiles at the children playing.

"My dad left me when i was young and moved to London, England. Last i heard he started to kill prostitutes or something. I was ashamed of my name. I changed who i was, my image, how i saw this world but never my name...my name was my reminder of my past and i had to keep my past valid to me, if i didn't. i dared bring it to life in another form. When i met Nicholas. He was the brother i never had, He thought me how to be human and for that i respected him and protected him. The night i met Nick, he was covered in blood and crying. I saw his soul that night and he saw mine when he protected me from some Vamp-Ist. That night a man named Zamxus Reaper saw everything, He taught me how to control my hunger and how to defend myself. He became the father i wish i had. Near our last days together, Zamxus told me i must forget about Nick but i refused. Nick meant something different to me. He told me that a time will come in which i'll have to feed on Nick to survive and...he was right but i refused and left him. He swore if he were to see me again..He's have my head on a silver plate."

James picks up an apple from a stand, the little girl lets him have it, he nods at her and walks off.

"We were best friends for life. He helped me and i helped him until Shawn came along...God, I hated that bastard. He hated the vampire name, He hated fangs, blood and everything vampires loved Oh!, He hated me as well. I could see that he wanted me dead but i learned to live with it, Shawn kept Nick in the human world and i needed him to be apart of his world and to stay away from mine. I got my first job, I was manger at a store that i hated with a passion It's also the age my life where i wish i could forget...it was the year of Twilight..."

James cuts the apple with his claws as the werewolves continue to follow him.

"A series of vampire like murders accured. Nick seemed to grow interested in it causing me to watch his back alittle extra. We were leaving Clunkin-Good Time when we bumped into a group of vampires, I had to fake kill Nick which was hard for me. Nick had this smell, It like when you smell chocolate, All you want is to eat it but when you smell a rose, All you want is to stare at it. Nick was this rose, I let my vampire instincts control me. I bite Nick but it wasn't for long, I tasted his blood. It was rich, clean and pure. Something blood isn't suppose to be. Blood taste like a quarter. Like dricking metal and from that moment on I knew Nick was different but i didn't dare bring it up. Nick was the only family i had and i needed him"

James hands the cut apple to the children, the werewolves growl at the children and they don't take it. James places it on a piece of cloth and continues to walk.

"A couple days later Nick started to question me about Zamxus Reaper, The man that trained me. The man i would do anything to kill. I stirred the conversation away but Nick...He'll never listen. Nick got the truth out of me and i told him all about Zamxus, He's connections as well as his bar. We visited this little place. The place smelled like iron, pity and sex. Vampires were like men, When we're not thinking it, we're craving it. Briefly in our visit Nick was taken from me. Like a child from it's mother. I saw that Zamxus's female guards took him. Our meeting with Zamxus was short and breif. Zamxus told us about his son, Zane. Who could be linked in the killings so me and Nick thought he look into it but through out it, I wanted to rip his spine out of his back and choke him with it...Was it possible?, probably not but i wanted it damn it!!!!. That when me and Nick got into an argument and i questioned his past. Something no friend should ever do"

James looks back at the apple and the kids starting eating it, James smiled.

"I left Nick side, Something i haven't done since in many years and it was hard. All i thought about was Nick, My brother, My friend and my only family. It's not until a fight with some vampires that i remember why i continued to do what i do. Nick was the reason i'm the person i'am today and i needed his forgiveness and if he didn't forgive me...i would of killed myself. I found Nick being attacked by a group of large wolves, I got him the hell outta there, I apologized, hell i pretty much kissed his ass. We meet up with Blake and Abby, I met Blake and Abby during my first years as a manager, they chased a vampire into the story and I helped them kill it. David was an amazing man and he helped Blake and Abby but there was something about him...something that linked me to Nick and when i was around David, i felt like i was around Nick. I bought them their hide-out via an abandon apartment complex. I lived with them in one of the room. I apologized to Nick when who should walk in Clunkin Good-Time but Zane, We chased his ass down and got him to talking. He told us...nothing then escaped from us. That's when Nick got a call from Shawn, I didn't tell Nick but i could here the whole conversation. Nick, Blake and Abby left to find Zane at his club while i slept. When i awoke hours later i found that Nick was knocked out and Blake and Abby found Zamxus killed and Zane was gone. He was going to the Church of V and he needed to be stopped. Nick woke up later that night, He quickly left to meet Shawn while he told me to stay and i couldn't believe i listened. That's when in a long time i had a dream. It was about me and Nick and a conversation we had. The last time i had a dream was when my father left.

James walks back into the Tipi and takes a seat on the cot.

"Vampires don't dream well there are no reports of vampires dreaming but i could dream. Maybe it was from my mother side. I knew then that my dreams could tell me something was gonna happen. I woke up and ran off to find Nick, I needed to find Nick. I couldn't be alone in this world knowing i wasn't around to help Nick. When i arrived at the warehouse, Nick was hurt by a blade wielding Shawn. We fought...I won"

James smells the wolves outside his tent, he walks up to the back of the tent and silently cuts it with his claws and breaks out running.

"Shawn attacked me but i recovered, that's when i tricked Shawn and bit him, I tasted his blood after all these years. It tasted like guilt. I enjoyed it, I couldn't finish Shawn due to the fact i wanted him to feel the pain of the venom i just put into his body. You see when a vampire bites you this venom enters their body kinda like what a snake does. In case we don't finish them off, The venom will. There's a 75 percent chance of death and the rest was being turned into a vampire but i didn't focus on that. I helped Nick, He was dying. I could feel his heart stopping. I've seen Nick heal, I've tasted his blood and yet i still felt his heart stop. The only way to save my friend. The only way possible was if i turned him..."

James could hear the werewolves following him at their full speed, James ran as fast he could as he smiled, playing with them

"I'll never forget the day i turned Nick, Every detail, every feeling...Maybe one day i'll feel it again but that moment i wanted it to continue. I wanted it to last, I was drinking his blood while i was giving mine to him. I knew it turn him, I knew Nick would be what i was and hate it as i did but at least we'd be immortal, Like brothers until the end...The end, was there one?"

The Midnight Moon
Episode 8: Werewolve (Part 2)



-200 Years Ago-


Jonathan's on his knees, tears covered his face holding a beautiful woman in his arms. Her chest is bleeding from a wound that was unexplainable. He looks down at her face, holding the tears back to listen to her soft voice.

"Johnny..."

She whispers, the pain didn't show in her voice, she was strong, Jonathan looks down at her.

"My love, you need to keep quiet...If they hear us then..."

There's a loud bang that hit their wooden door. It doesn't startle them for they were expecting it any moment. Jonathan doesn't take his eyes off his love but her eyes drift to the windows and sees their covered with wood, nailed down tightly. She smiles and looks back at Jonathan.

"We don't have long..."

"Love, I'm gonna go for a minute, I'll be right back!"

She didn't speak, he gently rests her on the wood ground. He stands up and walks to the shelf, opening it and pulling out a shotgun.

"Damn abominations"

Jonathan mumbles underneath his breath. The doors go flying open. He aims and the heavy build creature, The beast was hairy but it's chest had the chest of a bodybuilder with glowing yellow eyes and scars that you would lose track of if you counted, ears .

"Eat this..."

He blasts the large beast flies back, ears long and eyes yellow. He kills it that instant. Another wolf runs in, It launches at Jonathan biting down his arm, He hits it over the face with the handle of the gun then blasts it off.

"DAMN IT!"

Jonathan screams from the pain, he slams the door shut, knowing there's more beasts out there. He pours the gun powder inside the open shotgun. He closes and cocks it then steps back but it's silent...there's not a movement or noise. A slight growl then the calming sound of nature returns. Jonathan rushes back to the woman on the ground. He's face in panic

"Love, you still with me?"

She opens her eyes barely and looks over at him, First thing she sees is his bloody arm.

"Johnny, You've...you've been bitten"

She faintly says, he ignores the unimportant question. His face full of tears and sweat. The pain strung his whole body.

"That's not important, You need to get a doctor"

She smiles, letting her eyes drift to the ceiling. Her blond hair was still perfect along with her smile, She was an angel in the flesh.

"There's no time, Johnny...It's time..It's time i go "

"Claudia, Let me get James...He can keep you alive"

"He's a tainted one...I can't"

Johnny could feel his heartbeat faster, his skin got heavier along with his bones. He felt sharp pains through out his body. He falls back and begins to shake uncontrollably.

"Claudia!..."

His original voice then monstrous voice scared her. She holds her wound and looks away. Jonathan makes a fist and slams it down. He sits up, fighting the pain. He grabs his wife as a tear drop falls. He opens his mouth revealing a large set of grown fangs.

"Forgive me..."

The deep voice growled out, He picks her wrist up and bites down on it.


-Present-


"Jonathan!"

The loud voice yelled, Jonathan snaps out of it and looks up. Joseph stood before him. The sun directly behind him made Jonathan squint as he looked up.

"Come..."

He nods, As he stands up and follows Joseph, He daydreams to another time in his life.

"Claudia...Why?"


-150 years ago-


"Because it's the only way we'll be able to survive, He's name is Joseph. He was the child to the first lycanthropes. He has a village not to far into the Texas desert. We can live there, we can stop hiding in fear"

Jonathan grabs Claudia's arms and looks down into her eyes.

"I dream of a time where we can smile and finally continue our love"

"Love does not exist amongst our kind, you remember what that old man said...It's forbidden"

"Love, please...We can be safe...It's all i wish for"

She looks down as he tries to talk her into it.

"There is not a day where i don't feel the regret and guilt. I would wish a thousands death upon myself everyday if it gave you the chance to be normal. I know your yet to fully forgive me but..."

He lets his grip on her arm drop to her hands.

"I needed you then and i need you now. My life would have no meaning if you weren't in it. So please..."

She looks up at him and smiles, a tear building up in her eyes.

"Whatever makes you happy..."

She hugs him, he kisses her head.

"Thank you"


-Present-


As Jonathan walks into a tipi he sees Claudia, she looks at him then looks away. He enters where he sees Joseph's group of werewolve guards.

"What is it?"

He says as he bows then stands

"The vampire has escaped and we're going to fall back on the original plan"

Jonathan nods, eyes looking over at Claudia picking up the old bandages from James.

"Jonathan!"

Jonathan looks over at Joseph

"It'll be myself, my guards and you. We'll go into the city before midnight tomorrow and find the one who killed the youngling"

Jonathan nods, Joseph looks at his guards then back at Jonathan

"We regroup tonight and leave until then...dismissed"

They all bow then walk off

"Jonathan..."

He stops to Joseph's call, He looks over.

"I trust you with this, If you fail...I won't hesitate to kill her"

Jonathan looked over at Claudia while Joseph walks up behind him.

"You think i don't see the way you look at her? I've known the history you two shared. How you rarely turn wolf when others are around, how you so badly hide your memories when your phase but the eyes gave it away...Our kind share a special trust the vamps don't. We're a tribe, We're brothers...If you break that trust and kill this mission then I'll kill her"

Joseph walks off, smiling as Jonathan releases his fists and walks off.



-30 years ago-



Jonathan is thrown to the wet, muddy ground, beaten and bloody. Joseph stands above him, Both are shirtless and nearly naked.

"How dare you hide such secrets!"

Jonathan lays in the mud as it rained heavily. Claudia watched in horror as she was held back.

"HE WAS MY FATHER! AND YOU KILLED HIM!"

Joseph found out about the werewolves that attacked his cabin many years ago, one had been Joseph's father. Once Jonathan killed him it gave leadership to Joseph.

"From the moment you awake, from the moment you rest. All your days you'll work for me and if you go against one command...I'll kill anyone who's ever met anything in your life, I'll kill those who speak to you! I'll kill those who even dare look at you!"

Jonathan tried to get up but Joseph kicked him in the ribs, Jonathan hits the ground. Joseph stares at him with so much hate that it amazed him that he wasn't killing him.

"You aren't to speak to him!, look at him!...I'll rip your heads off personally...you can count on that!!"

Jonathan laid on the ground as everyone in the village watched in horror.



-Present-


Joseph sits in his Tipi, alone. It's the middle of the night and his tipi and the further from the tribe. He stares at the candle light and lets a tear run down his face when the Claudia walks into his Tipi. He looks up at her with horror, fearing her life if she's caught. She walks up to him and takes a seat, letting her head rest against his.

"Claudia...If your caught..."

She looks up at him and kisses his lips. Jonathan kept his eyes closed slowly opening them to see her face.

"For years I've waited for that kiss"

Jonathan says tell her, She smiles as he rests her hand on his cheek.

"I forgive you"

A tear runs down his face, all the years of feeling guilt and pain for turning her washed away that moment like all the weight of the world was being taken off him. She wipes the tear off his cheek and kisses him against. Jonathan reaches towards the candle and pinches the flame, quickly going out filling the tipi in darkness



-Later That Night-

Jonathan walks up to Joseph's Tipi and walks in, He puts his bag on the floor and sees his guards haven't arrived. Joseph looks over at him and lets a smile grow.

"Your just the person i wanted to see..."

"What is it?"

"I thought about our little Claudia conversation and i realize i was being unfair. These past few days i've grown feeling for Claudia, Love is a rush is it not?. Now i see why you've enjoyed it for so long and i know how much she loves you which means i could never have her but it doesn't mean i can't watch you hurt while i command her to do things that push the rules of love"

Jonathan started to breath heavy, he grew angry and he was moments away from phasing. Joseph places both his hands on Jonathan face, disrespecting him in their culture. Joseph whispers so gently to Jonathan.

"Before we leave, i shall make love to her. It will not be against the law because I'll have forced her by death to do so then when i think that's not enough i will let you watch as i slowly rip her limps off"

Joseph lets go of Jonathan, Jonathan wanted to grab Joseph and rips his neck but he didn't. He stopped and let the anger slip. He turned around and walked off.

The Midnight Moon
Episode 9: Human (Part 3)



Jonathan grabs the opening to the tipi, Joseph lets out a growl.

"You will wait!"

Jonathan released the opening and turns around. He couldn't take anymore. He didn't want to attack Joseph because he knew he wasn't stronger than him. He looks away and crosses his arms.

"Don't act like a child"

"THEN WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO? I'VE TAKEN YOUR ABUSE FOR MONTHS EVEN THROUGH IT SEEMS LIKE YEARS. NOBODY IN THE VILLAGE SPEAKS TO ME, I MUST HUNT FOR MY FOOD. I HATE WAKING AND I HATE SLEEPING! THE ONLY REASON I'M HERE IS FOR THE SAFETY OF CLAUDIA! AND TO HAVE YOU STAND BEFORE ME AND THREATEN HER LIFE! I WILL NO STAND FOR IT ANYMORE!"

Jonathan snapped, he stood tall, hands in fist. Joseph smiles

"And your going to hit me?"

Joseph chuckles as he walks to the candles on the table. He blows them out and looks over at Jonathan when Jonathan uppercuts him. Joseph flies back and hits the ground hard, He quickly phases into the large werewolf, black fur with glowing emerald eyes. Jonathan stood there, not phasing. Joseph leaped at him, Jonathan quickly moves out of the way.

"I never told you how i killed your father!"

Jonathan stood behind Joseph. Joseph turns around and bites at Jonathan. Jonathan steps back, Joseph bites at him again and he takes another step back.

"Why tell you when i can show you?"

Jonathan phases into a large brown werewolf and as soon as he fully phases their minds connect each one sharing memories of each other's life. Joseph sees Jonathan shoot his father while Jonathan sees Joseph kissing Claudia without notice but Claudia pulls away and smacks him. He grabs her by the throat.

"I could snap your throat and end your life..."

Joseph brings her near his face while she struggles for air. He licks her cheek and smiles.

"Like i did to that dead child"

Her eyes widen along with Jonathan's. Jonathan snaps out of it, Joseph tackles Jonathan and bites him at the neck. They roll on the ground, knocking down the tipi, both biting at eachother as they're growl grew louder and louder. Claudia ran up to the crowd that begin to watch.

"Who is it?"

Claudia asked, another tribe member looks at her.

"Joseph and Jonathan..."

She looks back at them, Jonathan bites Joseph's neck and turns the fight around. He releases his neck and barks and growls at Joseph's face. Joseph just stares at him and phases back. All the bites and cuts appear on his human body. Jonathan steps back and phases back.

"You killed her...that poor innocent child and you killed her! you bastard! you broke the laws!"

Jonathan said as he walked up to Joseph and grabbed him by his neck. Joseph smiled, holding onto Jonathan's arm.

"She spoke to me, the cute 15 year old with long brown hair. At first she told me that she can't wait to get married, just some small talk. I offered her hand in a date when she REJECTED ME! SHE FOOLED ME IN FRONT OF MY PEOPLE! SO...So later that night, i stole away into her tipi and let her know exactly how i felt by the time i stopped beating her, she was dead but you should of listened to her muffled screams. Like the sound of your prey moaning as they slip into death"

Jonathan released Joseph and stepped back. Joseph said all the people staring and started laughing.

"And what...you think you can stop me? put me away for breaking the laws?"

"No...I'm not going to do a damn thing"

A group of large werewolves appeared behind Jonathan, the family of the young girl.

"But they have a few words they like to share"

Jonathan walked off as the group of werewolves walked toward Jonathan. Jonathan laughed as he phased into a werewolf and ran for his life. Jonathan walked up to Claudia, Claudia ran up to him and wrapped his arms around him. Kissing him and he kissed back.

"I love you"

Jonathan smiled then looked down.

"Listen..Joseph is fast...He'll get away and when he returns he won't think twice before killing the both of us. We need to go and run from this place"

"Whatever makes you happy"

"No..."

Jonathan said, she stared at him

"Only if you want to"

Claudia smiled and kissed his cheek

"We could go to the sun...as long as i'm with you, I'm happy"

Jonathan kissed Claudia then broke off running, together they held each others hands before finally phasing into werewolves together and running off into the darkness.




-Meanwhile-



Nick walked out from the bathroom, shirtless, wrapped in a towel when he sees David sitting in his bed.

"Jesus!"

Nick says, David looks up then looks away.

"Sorry..."

David tells Nick as he walks to his bag, grabs a shirt, boxers and pants and walks back into the bathroom.

"What do you want?"

Nick yells from the bathroom, David stares down at his hands

"It's our pops"

Nicks sigh could be heard from the bathroom

"He's dead, don't worry about him anymore"

"It's not that...it's just...He was our dad and bastard tried to get us to turn on each other. Why would someone do that?"

Nick opens the bathroom door, clothed. He takes a seat next to David and puts his socks on.

"Well coming from a f**ked up family member, it's because he saw us as a threat. I'm pretty sure he didn't even say he missed us. He never said love the whole time he was alive. He had a mission and he was going to have us kill each other. He never cared about us so let him burn in the pits of hell. But he did make me see the fact that it was cool to have a little brother. So much i have to teach you"

David smiles

"2 year age difference"

Nick takes a second to think as he now puts his shoes on

"Then i got alot to catch you up on"

David laughs, Nick finishes putting his shoes on and smiles

"Did i miss the reunion?"

Nick looks over at the door, standing there was James. filthy and covered in dirty and ripped clothing.

"James?"

"Alive and kickin"

Nick stood up in shock, he walked up to him and hugged him. James didn't hug back mainly because he wasn't use to hugs.

"Yeah, It's good to see you too"



-Meanwhile-




All that heard is a gunshot, the Asian vampire laid on the ground, defeated. He breathes heavy as Blake stands over him and puts the gun to the vampire's head.

"Why did you kill my parents?"

The vampire laughs, revealing his bloody teeth.

"I'll never tell you human, In fact...Take that gun and shoot yourself!"

The vampire used his charm but Blake smiles and shots him in the arm. He then pulls his shirt up revealing a silver colored tattoo of an odd vampire symbol.

"Your charm doesn't work on me, Yeah, My friend David is a genuis! NOW WHY DID YOU KILL MY PARENTS!"

"David Vampiri, He's still alive?"

The vampire laughs, Blake grips his gun tightly.

"Vampiri isn't his last name"

Blake tells him, keeping his aim tightly on him.

"Oh...i bet he changed it to something pretty"

The vampire joked, Blake grabbed his throat and showed him his gun.

"This gun is full of acid rounds, now it's still a bullet but the silver used to make it was from pure acid. So one more joke and you'll be dead"

The vampire was in pain, He looks at Blake, giving anything to snap his neck

"Alright, your parents had a debt with Vampiri!"

"Who?"

Blake asks, the vampire chuckles.

"Nicolai Vampiri, He's the oldest Vampiri around besides James Lionheart"

"I didn't ask for a history lesson, Tell me what kind of Debt?"

"You were sick, You and a girl named Abby, They came to James will an idea on how to save you and this girl but James passed the idea and gave the idea to Nicolai. They would forever be in his debt if he healed their children and Nicolai liked the idea and gave you and Abby a pint of his blood"

Blake stepped back, almost dropping his gun but he kept it in hands. The shock of the truth traveling through out him.

"Your lying..."

"What i would give to be lying..."

Blake became stressful; He pointed the gun at the Vampire's head

"Finish it!"

Blake demanded

"Nicolai wanted his children dead but your parents didn't want to kill human children so he had me do it as well as kill your parents. He couldn't trust human hunters"

"Where can I find Nicolai?"

"I left his group ages ago but he has a friend here in Texas. His name is Raphael, He's runs the Church of V for Nicolai"

"You've been so helpful"

Blake says, He grabs the vampire's foot and drags him outside, the vampire starts to scream as he bursts into flames. Blake walks toward his scooter



--Meanwhile--



Abby sat in a diner, she sips her water then puts the cup down. Another man takes a seat behind her. He's tall and bulky. It's Shawn. Abby doesn't see him, Shawn's phone rings, He takes it out.

"I haven't found him yet"

"Come on Blake, Where are you?"

She looked at her watch, knowing nothing of Shawn existence behind her.

"He ran away...Listen...Listen! I have an idea, Your just gonna need to trust me...alright?"

There's a brief silence, he smiles

"I'll have James for you when you arrive, Alright?..Alright, I'll see you soon..Zane"

Abby looks up, the name sent a sting down her spine. She starts to turn around when Shawn takes out a gun, places it against the seat and shoots, Shawn looks at Abby's face, She stares into her's. She feels the pain of the bullet as she looks down at her shirt. It begins to turn red from the blood. Shawn gets up and pulls her hair and throws her on the ground.

"I got a message i want you to deliver to your group of friends..."

He places the gun to her head while everyone in the diner run away, seeing the blackness in Shawn's eyes. Abby crawls, trying to get away from Shawn. Shawn grabs her by her hair and flips her over, aiming the gun back on her head. He smiles and lets out a short laugh.

"Tell them Zane sends his regards"

He puts his gun away, she lets the pain slowly let her slip away.




--Meanwhile--




David walks out in the main hall, James stares up at a cross that hung on the wall. David takes a seat, noticing the sun hitting James.

"What?"

James asks, closing his eyes

"Why is it the sun doesn't hurt you?"

David asks, James looks down

"I'm different"

"That's an understatement"

David says, James turns around and walks up to him, taking a seat next to him

"Feels like my days are numbered"

James comes out and says, David looks over at James.

"Yeah, I feel you on that one"

"But Nick..."

James chuckles, he's not happy but upset.

"It's like when your around him, he changes that feeling. Why is that?"

"He's different...He's my brother"

"Listen i'm not sure you know but it's important you don't tell him yet. But he's...he's something else"

"Oh i know..He's a fairy"

"Nick's gay?"

"No not that...nevermind"

Nick walks down the steps

"I'm ready when you guys are"

"We're ready"

"Let's head out then"

They walk toward the entrance, Nick looks over one last time, He sees Raphael's office

"I'll catch up with you guys"

James and David walked toward the car, Nick walk towards the entrance and opens it.

"Listen we're going to leave i hope..."

Nick saw the pile of ashes on the desk and a sword that pierced him. Attached to the sword was a note. He yanks it off and reads it. He looks up, eyes in shock. He crushes the note in his hands. He drops the note and walks off.

"Thanks...dad"

He mumbles under his breath.

Episode 10: Monster (Part 4)


Nick opens the car door and gets in, he turns the key and looks over at David and James.

"Why you so happy?"

"Feels like a new day, i like it"

He puts the car in drive and speeds down the road.

"Let's head home boys!"

Nick says as he picks more speed up




-Meanwhile-



Abby wakes up from the pain, it's patched up pretty decently but the pain lingers. Abby let out a loud scream as Shawn walks by and pokes the wound. He laughs as she screams.

"It's not until your a vampire when you discover how weak humans are"

Abby does her best to ignore the pain, she raises her arm and flips Shawn off, Shawn smiles

"Even if i knew where Blake was, i still wouldn't tell you. I hope you have nothing to do....because i don't plan on telling you, so let's go on with it"

Shawn gets angry, He smacks her, cutting her cheek with his claws.

"I SHOULD KILL YOU NOW AND END WITH YOUR PITY FILLED LIFE!!"

Shawn turns around, scoops up his cell phone and puts it to his ear, the line rings.

"But Zane has a plan for you"

Abby felt the loose rope around her arms, she could escape and leave but she was injured and pretty badly. She wouldn't make it far but escape wasn't on her mind. She knew she was the only one who could find Zane and bring him to the guys. She let her plan slowly plan itself in her head.

"Yes, I have the girl..."

"Wait!"

Shawn looks over at Abby, She looks down. Playing as if she's giving up.

"Blake went behind my back and hurt me pretty bad. I have no idea why I'm still protecting him. You want him? I'll give you him...but first, you have to take me to Zane"

Shawn stares at her for a moment then looks away.

"You heard that? Yes...possibly, Okay...I'll see you soon then"

Shawn hangs up with one slash, he cuts the rope with his claws.

"Let's go see Zane shall we?"



-Meanwhile-


James stares out the window, the desert pasted them by as Nick let his mind reply the letter in his head. David snaps his bag shut when he sees a scooter coming at them.

"NICK!"

Nick snaps out of it, he tries to turn out of the way but he hits it, Nick snaps the wheel to his left and the car flips over. It spins once...twice then one more, leaving the car upside down. James crawls out of the broken window when he's quickly kicked in the face. The man walks over around the car when David tries crawling out of the car, he's kicked in the chest, dropping to his face. Nick looks over and sees Blake. Blake holds a load handgun at Nick.

"I should kill you..."

Blake says as his eyes get teary; he holds his gun tightly, Nick could barely see Blake, the sun was right behind him.

"Why?"

Nick faintly says, the crash still affecting him. James pulls his head up and slowly stands up.

"Because your father killed my parents and since i don't know where i can find that bastard I'll have to settle with his sons"

Blake stares at him for a second, the gun shakes. Nick stares at him, both of them letting their eyes connect.

"If you think it's the right then to do, then squeeze that trigger and end my life. If you think you can live with the fact that you killed me then do it. Otherwise...put that damn gun down"

Blake's face was full of tears, James knew he could stop Blake but it wouldn't be quick enough to stop the bullet. Nick slowly stood up, Blake dropped the gun, Nick walks up to him and wraps his arms around him, Blake starts crying.

"Come on, let's walk back to the church and fix up these cuts"

Blake nods, wiping his face. David reaches into the car, grabs his bag and starts walking with everyone back to the church.

-The Midnight Moon-


The large black werewolf with glowing emerald eyes stares at his once own village. He lets out a howl then runs off into the darkness.
