The Midnight Moon
Episode 1: Best Served Cold

"Well I got something vampires can suck" a blond college frat boy said with a cocky smile upon his face, his girlfriend rolls her eyes. He wears a white collared shirt with baby blue jeans. He drives his blue camaro, His girlfriend is blond also with huge...blue eyes. She was in the front seat while he drove; she turned the radio up and listens to the news.

"3 more vampire related deaths have been reported in Tru Bon. It been 30 years since the confirmation of vampires since then laws have been made for them. They must follow the human law and their law which includes No Killing humans, Curfew after 11:00 PM and all vampires must drink Midnight Moon. An artificial blood, that tastes actually like blood. Since the law has been created the crime rate after 11:00 PM have risen by the request of The Church Of V and a vampire prison is currently being created in New Orleans , The closest place near Tru Bon. This is Robert...."

The frat boy parks his car on the side of the road and turns the radio off.

"What are you doing Patrick?"

"It's 3 more hours until we reach Texas, like vampires, I have needs as well"

He takes his seatbelt off and reaches his hand into her shirt; she smiles with a slight moan growing. Suddenly a large THUMP! hits the top of their car. The girl lets out a scream as she stares at the blood dripping onto the window, the roof rips open and she is pulled out, Patrick tries to escape but is pulled out, soon after, both scream. There's a large ripping noise causing them to stop..


--The Next Morning--


"Shawn, I swear...I'll kick your ass. Take it back right now!"

Nick, a black hair, blue eyes, 20 year old walked toward a restaurant in uniform. Shawn (7Sportsfan23). Dark brown hair, green eyes wore a uniform as well, a bright orange jumpsuit like uniform, property of Clunkin Good-Time. He smiled as he walked with Nick. In the cold, cloudy weather

"I'm just saying, Darth Vader would kick Darth Maul's ass period"

Nick says as Shawn shakes his head and says

"Darth Maul isn't burnt. He can flip around and has that awesome light saber, so I win. Suck it!"

Shawn laughs, Nick was serious. They walk into the restaurant and Shawn walks up to the staff; Nick puts his uniform hat on

"I hate this place..."

Shawn and Nick worked at Clunkin-Good Time a restaurant that serves burgers and chicken ONLY!

"Nick!..,Darth Vader would get his ass handed to him!"

a staff member says, Nick walked over and smiled, a cocky smile

"Thank you!"


--Meanwhile, In Super Shop--


James, a 19 year old, green eyes, blond hair kid sits, on break with a book in his hands "Edward, you suck!". A woman walks up to him

"Excuse me; I saw your ad for Twilight Books on sale, where can I find them?"

She innocently said, James stares into his book "Sorry, We're sold out of Twilight Book but he have New Moon and the others.

"But I need the first book, you see it's for my daughter and she pretty much in love with Rob"

"Pattinson...I hate that dork"

James replies, not looking at the woman yet, he turns the page

"Well what about that book in your hands?"

"Taken..."

James quickly replied

"But it has a large sticker that say for sale, Twilight half off"

She talked back.

"Well I'm reading it, True. I haven't bought it mainly because I rather read my ancestors history than this fake vampire B.S"

James' tone rose, The woman's face was stiff, She was angry

"Where's your manager?, I'd like to speak to him, I don't like how your treating me"

"2 things, first off. I don't like you and second...I'm the manager, so kiss my ass and wait until tomorrow we'll have more restocked"

He continued reading the book

"Why is Edward always laughing, what's so funny?"

"You're a rude young man!, I hope you know that"

He puts the book down and smiles, 2 large fangs quickly spike out.

"Yeah, I'm a vampire too. It's apart of the job"

Freaking her out, She runs off. The teeth quickly go back in

"Humans..."



--7:45 PM--


James was off work and he walked into Clunkin-Good Time, He took a seat at a lonesome table in the back.

"You got some customers"

Shawn told Nick, Nick looks over and sighs

"I don't think my ass can take another gay couple"

Shawn and a few of the staff starts laughing, Nick looks over

"You know what i mean damn it!"

Nick walks over, pissed

"Welcome to Clunkin-Good Time, what can I get you?"

Nick said in a cheery tone. He faked it the best he could, Shawn smiled as he watched Nick. The people sitting at the table were stereotypical trailer park family. Fat husband, smelled like gas and grease and a wife, fat and dirty with hair messed up and different color finger nail polish and 2 active kids who were rude. Nick looked at them, clearly not the highlight of his day.

"Honey, what do you want?"

The wife said, There was something about the Tru Bon accent people had. Nick didn't have it. He was so lucky not to have it, it sounded like New Orleans and Texas accent had a baby and this ugly, spoiled accent was born

"I'll have fries with the Clunkin-Special and a coke...no, wait i had that yesterday. Ma, what will you have?"

Nick scratched the order out, starting to become impatient

"Is the Ultimate Cluckin-Special still around?"

Said the mess of a woman, Nick kindly smiles. running his hands through his hair. The couple didn't notice

"Ma, Ma...this man looks like a homo

One of the kids said, Nick ignored them and became stressed

"Daddy!, Daddy!...Doesn't this guy look like a homo"

The other said, the dad looked over and nods at the children

"Yes, now look back at your menus!"

The mother said, Nick rubbed the bridge of his nose than slammed the notepad against the table, everyone in the restaurant looks over, Nick had it.

"Listen to me, you group of rejects. You can all..."

The each parent covers the ears to the child next to them, Nick's lip just go off. Words would slip by into the kid's ears

"Knife to you....while a lion takes a...throw you both in the water...while you bleed"

Shawn and the co-workers were in shock. One kid jerked out of the hold. Nick screamed

"All that while a horse slowly steps on you..."

The father covers the kid's ears. Nick goes off, the other kid jerks out of his hold. Nick yells

"Shampoo's like 1.29$, you cheap son's of a...."

The mother quickly covers the kid's ears, He ends it while a yell.

"AGHHHHHHHH!"

The two people sit there, speechless. Nick walks off while James claps as Nick walks up to him and takes a seat

"Remind me not to get on your bad side"

James says, Nick replies

"Like wise"

James laughs, Nick chuckles as he takes a napkins and wipes his forehead.

"How's life man?"

James shrugs and replies

"Sucks...You?"

Nick smiles

"Well i would be fired now but...boss is sick, so...slow"

Shawn walks over. Nick always knew there was a bad tension between James and Shawn. Shawn never liked James, Maybe it was because he was a vampire or maybe it was because James stole Shawn's car

"James, you blood sucker...What's up?"

James smiles

"Just hungry"

"Well we don't serve Midnight Mood here, So take your business somewhere else"

Shawn told James, James looks at Nick

"I'd like a hamburger"

"What kind?"

Shawn wasn't the waiter; He just liked starting arguments with James.

"Let me guess, Raw?"

James stands up, Shawn steps back

"What's your problem?"

"I hate vampires"

"So does the rest of the world, do something about it"

James told Shawn.

"I plan to"

Shawn walked off

"What's his problem?"

James says

"I think he hates Vampires"

Nick sarcastically said. James chuckles

"I'll go"

"No, I'll bring you that hamburger. Just try not to kill anyone while you're here"

Nick stands up and walks off

"No promises!"

James jokingly said. Nick walks into the kitchen, where the cooks were cooking and Shawn was cooling down

"Your crazy, talking to a vampire like that"

Nick said

"James can kiss my ass, He won't hurt me. I think you should be more worried because when he's hungry, He's coming for you"

Shawn said to Nick. Nick smiles as he hangs James order up

"I highly doubt that"

"Why?"

a cook asks

"Long story and I get off in 15 minutes so I don't want to waste my time telling it"

Nick says walking off, another cook asks

"How is it you treat the customers like crap and not get fired?"

Nick turns around and walks back wards

"Vampire friend!...haha"

Nick left the back, Shawn looked at the cooks

"I love Nick like a brother but he's stupid to have James around"

Nick looked at his watch, a smile grew

He heads to the back, puts a black shirt on, takes his pants off and puts jeans on. He leaves the backroom when James' burger is done. He takes the plate and walks to James' table. He hands him the plate and takes a seat

"Thanks"

James says

"No problem...I'd check it"

James takes the bread and looks throw it and sees no spit and puts the beard back onto the burger

"We're good"

Nick nod

"So tell me James, What's it like for being a vampire?"

James swallowed the bite he took and takes a quick moment.

"Well...It's like having a dog, You train it, Teach it to be good and hope it'll be loyal but when that dog is hungry...he'll do anything to survive"

"That's the best you got"

James shrugs, taking a bite of his burger. Nick smiles, James could never freak Nick out.

"So you called me over, what is it you want to know?"

James says revealing why he's at the restaurant. Nick looks around and there's nobody really close by to hear them, He looks back at James

"Zamus Reaper..."

James sits straight, the name brought nasty memories to him

"Where did you hear that name?"

Nick ignores him

"Who is he?"

James takes a minute as Nick asks the question, He pushes his burger aside. He leans in

"He's someone so violent, someone so rare blooded that he's never been seen by neither vampire nor human eyes"

Nick smirks

"Seriously?"

"Zamus Reaper is one of the first vampires to ever exist. Only 2 people have ever seen his face and since their vampire also, He uses their immortally to torture them. He's so poison hearted, so cruel and so evil that speaking his name is a sin among vampires and if you ever ask me about him...I'll be forced to rip your tongue out"

James actually scared Nick, James smiles and throws his fist in the air

"I got you!"

"Damn it!"

Nick hits the table, as Shawn watches from afar until he walks off

The Midnight Moon
Episode 2: Crave


James and Nick walked down the street."Where's your car?" James asks "it's in the shop..." Nick lies, James smirks "Right"

They continue to walk down the road. "Listen, I might bring 'his' name up one more time okay?" James sighs at what Nick says. James looks at Nick "Nick, You are aware the story i told you back at the restaurant is fake, Zamxus is just some pity club owner that is rumored to be a big deal" Nick looks over at James "How do i know that's the truth?"

"us, vampire lie alot...trust me"

"you know how odd that sounds? 'Trust a vampire'"

James chuckled, he quickly stops, He turns around and laughing can be heard along with blasting music. James walks up to a tree and sees the berries it carries and picks them off. He smashes them in his hands and spreads it on Nick's neck.

"What are you doing?" Nick says "Don't move okay" Nick sees a group of people walking toward them. James pushes Nick into the bush, Nick quickly hide as James stands there, looking at this group of people, a group of gothic teens. The music is turned down as they walk up to James.

"What's your name?" one of them says "James" "Well James, We're on our way to feed, your welcome to join" The teen continues, he didn't keep still, his body moved side to side, like a tree. Head was always moving, he seemed more snake like then vampire. James keeps a serious face, uninterested in feeding with groups of kids. "No, Thank you...I've eaten minutes ago"

The teens seemed turned off "I rarely smell the blood. You could use a fresh drink" "When I'm hungry, I'll get something to eat" James replies "Sorry, We'll back off and leave you to your... standing"

All the teens laugh and walk off, the music blasts from the speakers as they fade into the distances"You can come out now"

Nick gets out of the bush and wipes the berries off with his shirt, James sees Nick's chest then a birthmark that quickly stands out. He doesn't see the full thing.

"Interesting tattoo...When did you get it?" Nick quickly puts his shirt down.

"It's nothing, let's go!" James notices him; Nick seems almost shy, look at James then looks at the road "What is that tattoo of?" James grips Nick's shirt

"You lied to us..." the voice comes from out of nowhere, One by one the teens pop up, coming from the trees above them. As they stand in front of James and Nick. James released Nick; Nick wasn't scared, just full of thought.

"You shouldn't have lied about prey, now...our trip is pretty far and we're hungry, so do you mind sharing?" James steps in front of Nick "I'm sorry but I'm a bit selfish" "Then surely you wouldn't mind if we watched"

James looked at Nick, Nick at James "I'm saving him..." "Boy...You lie, Now eat...or we will"

James nods, He turns toward Nick, Nick looks at James as James' fangs quickly spike out. Nick steps back "Don't..." Nick whispers. James tilted Nick's head. Nick swallowed, nervous. A vampire has never been so close to his neck. James fang begin to slowly insert into Nick's neck, blood quickly slides down his neck. James quickly makes a fist, fighting back the taste. The smell burns his nostrils and makes his throat hot and dry. James slowly begins to reach toward the front of his pant, he slowly digs into his pants and pulls out a small handgun, He removes his teeth and turns toward the teens who are caught off guard. He shots once and kills the nearest vampire next to the leader, the silver bullets burns their bodies, killing him.

"Run!"

Before they could be seen, just like the wind...they were gone.

"Damn it"

Nick holds his neck, the pain one receive from being bitten is the poison that covered the fang, a powerful sting that numbs you in minutes. James steps back, the smell still filled the air.

"Silver bullets...cool" Nick says, trying to pull away from the pain and get James attention on something else. James looks at Nick then his eyes move to the blood escape Nick's hand. James eyes turn from green to black like a shark. Nick stepped back

"Run!"

James monstrous voice screams, Nick turns around and runs. He was miles away from the restaurant. He knew he couldn't make it in time. James stands there, trying to control the urge; He lets out a large screech, toward the sky. Eyes pitch black, all his teeth now sharp like a shark. He starts to runs after Nick


--Meanwhile--


"Come on...one more minute....", a 14 year old boy stood. Oddly tall with brown eyes and brown hair, Combed a certain way. He stares at the microwave as popcorn spins around on the tray

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

"Yes..." he quickly opens the door and takes the popcorn out, the bag is hot. He quickly puts the bag on the counter, takes a large blow and pours the popcorn into the bowl. "Blake!...It's starting!" a girls voice came from Blake's room. He grabs the bowl and rushes back to his room. He opens the door and closes it behind him. In the room on Blake's bed laid Abby, 13 years old her eyes were hard to see in the dark room. Blake turns the light on, Abby's eyes were different colors. One was blue, the other green with long blond hair, put in a pony tail, she wore a pair of boxers and a pink muscle shirt. Blake wore a pair of pajama pants and a green muscle shirt. He places the bowl on the bed and turns the light off

"Welcome back to Monster Movie Marathon!" the TV claims, showing the Dracula logo. "Did you put the butter in it?" Abby asks "No, There's butter in the bag already and it's healthier than butter" claims Blake "Really?...I can't believe this is not butter"

They briefly talk as the movie starts, they starting watch, grabbing handfuls and eating it.

THUMP!!!

Blake looked at Abby; Abby watched the movie "What was that?" Abby looked at Blake "Shhs! your missing the movie" Blake ignored the noise

THUMP!!!

The sound matched walking on a roof. It was quiet, Blake looked at Abby. Abby looked at Blake "This is 1970's Dracula, Blake...You'll have to find a better way to scare me" Blake shakes his head "That wasn't me..." Abby raised her eyebrow, both looked at the ceiling "I think we should finish this movie another time" Abby says

"Pack our clothes..." Blake quietly says, Abby starts putting their clothes into two different backpacks. Blake quietly opens the door. Abby hands over Blake's backpack, Blake looks down the hall and sees nothing. He walks back into the room and goes to the drawers and opens it. Revealing 2 video games, it's only a decoy. He pulls both games up revealing a secret department. Inside is black slingshot. He takes it out and then takes out a bag of silver plated balls, no bigger than a key on the keyboard

"Quick..." Abby says

Blake pulls out a bow an arrow for Abby, She takes it and he hands her silver plated arrows. She puts them in her backpack. Blake puts the bag in his pocket "We're gonna get on our bike and go to the hideout okay?"

Abby nods

"3...2...1" Blake and Abby leave the room; They hear the thump back in their room. They open the front door and run to their bike. It's a scooter with an attached side cart for Abby. Abby covers Blake as he starts the scooter. Suddenly a vampire lands on the ground behind them. "Get in!" Blake yells as he takes a seat and drives off, Abby is in the side cart, she turns around and aims her bow an arrow

"Always recycle!" Abby says, she waits as the vampire runs after them, She shoots and the arrow quickly hits the Vampire in the head, It so powerful that the arrow takes the vampire back and lands on the recycle bin. Abby smiles as her hair blows in the wind "Don't mess with us!!!" Abby yells as they turn onto the main road

The Midnight Moon
Episode 3: Twilight


It was morning now. The sky was blue without a cloud in sight, Abby held a book in her hands. She looked over at Blake. Blake looked at Abby to a man laying in the couch, snoring loudly. It was Nick in different clothing with a bandage around his neck. Blake slowly losing patients with Nick's snoring.

"He told us to watch him...he's a vampire...he told us to watch him...he's a vampire..."

Blake said, repeating the line over and over. He saw a book on the couch, it was near Nick's face. Blake smiled as he walked up to it and gently nudged it, the book fell over and hit Nick's face.

"Good morning sunshine"

Nick looked around, the apartment was new to him, books and dust is the only way Nick would sum the apartment up. Nick looks at Blake and quickly stands up, He looks over at Abby who puts the Twilight book down.

"Mornin stranger!"

"Who are you guys?"

"I'm Blake, This is my partner Abby and as you see she's pigging out on Hot Cheetos and Twilight"

"Hey! Leave Eddy out of this!"

"Eddy? That doesn't even work with his name"

"Why am i wearing a different shirt?"

Blake didn't say anything to Nick, James forced Blake to change Nick into a new pair of clothes. Blake scratched his head and ignored Nick. Nick walked straight up to the door when Blake quickly cut between him and the door.

"Yeah, James told us to keep a tight watch on you and that's what I'll do"

"James...Oh right!"

Nick placed his hands on his neck and felt it bandaged up.

"He bit me..."

Abby stood up, looking over at Blake, Blake at Abby both knew the signs of just a vampire bite.

"Your not in pain? Or sick?"

"I feel alittle dizzy but no, no pain why?"

"When vampires bite humans their fangs inject a venom into the body that kills the nerves and if a vampire doesn't rip you to piece then it'll ultimately lead you into the vampire universe"

"What?"

Nick says after the long break, Abby sighs and Blake steps up

"Venom in teeth, James bite you, you get venom but you no pain...so you okay! there was that so hard to understand?"

"I'm leaving"

Nick reaches for the door handle when Blake quickly grabs it.

"Easy big guy, James is at his house, probably sleeping"

Blake says, holding the door tightly.

"Listen, James told me to catch you up before you left. He told me you deserve it or something, so sit and I'll tell you what happened..."

Nick looked at Blake then at Abby, He walked over to the book filled table and took a seat.

"Go ahead"


-Several Hours Earlier-


Nick ran for his life, He held his neck while running from James, James eyes were pure black. He was hungry and felt the lust of blood in his present not to far from him. James couldn't control the urge anymore, He jumps and lands right on Nick.

"James, Please...Don't!"

Nick yells as drops of blood slide down Nick's neck. James lets out a loud screech and thrusts his head at Nick's neck. James bites down on Nick's neck. While he breaks the skin, It let out a small burst of blood onto James' tongue. James opened his eyes as the blood began to burn James mouth and throat. James jumped back as James returns to normal. He's breathing heavy, trying to let the burning sensation end in his body. Nick faints, James stares at Nick in disbelief

"He can't be..."


-Present-


"My blood burnt him?"

Nick sarcastically says. He stands up

"Someone has been reading to many Heroes and Villains stories.

Blake looks at Abby with mocking eyes, Abby rolls hers.

"Listen, I need to get home"

"Why?"

Blake says, Nick didn't reply. He looked down

"You live in a small apartment, your parents are..."

Blake says but Nick quickly interrupted

"Enough!"

He says loudly when there's knocking on the door, Everyone looks at the door

"Answer it.."

Abby says with an angry tone, Blake shakes his head 'no'

"You"

Blake says, Nick sighs as he walks over and opens the door. Standing there is a 16 year old male with dirty blond hair that looked like he just woke up. He wore a blue shirt tucked into his jeans. His eyes were blue as well, This boy was David B. Jacobs. Nick looks at David, David looks at Nick, there's a moment of silence

"Can i help you?"

Nick says with a curious tone that made Blake raise his eyebrows.

"Blake...Is that, that morphing clay i created?"

Blake pushes Nick aside

"David, come in"

Nick rubs his head while David walked into the apartment

"Morphing Clay?"

Nick says, curious. Blake closes the door while David, caring a briefcase looks at Nick than Blake

"Who's Benjamin Button over here?"

Nick didn't get the insult

"David, This is Nick..Nick, David"

David nods, Nick just puts his hand up, not caring much

"Can i leave?"

Nick asks

"Yeah, James says he'll meet you at Clunkin-Good Time tonight"

Abby says as shes throws Nick his freshly clean shirt, Nick catches and nods. David places the briefcase on the table

"So do you got it?"

Blake asks, David looks at Blake and smiles

"My friend, i introduce you to MC Stake"

Blake laughs while David and Abby stare at Blake.

"I get it, MC Hammer...MC Stake..."

He stopped while he looked at a serious Abby

"I'm gonna talk to Nick before he leaves"

Abby left the building,trying to catch up with Nick, Abby caught up

"What do you want now?"

Nick asks, Abby followed him, placing her hands in her pockets. She takes out a necklace, It has a lion crest on it. She offers it toward Nick, Nick stops walking and takes it

"What's this?"

"Sadly enough, I bought that, It's from the movie Twilight. It's Edward's family crest"

Nick felt the imprint of the lion

"The lion is a courageous animal, I think you need alittle courage"

Abby says ending the sentence with a smile, Nick looks up at Abby

"Thank you"

"No problemo...I sometimes get these feeling that people need my help that's why i work with Blake"

"Your like Spider-Man with his spidey-sense"

Nick says, Abby blushes. Nick places the necklace on, tucking the emblem into his shirt


--Meanwhile, back inside the Hide-Out--


"And this..."

David says

"This is pretty cool. Alot of vampire usually heal from silver but this..."

Davis takes his shirt off, Blake watches as he puts a pair of gloves on and takes out a piece of silver from a vile.

"This silver is made with bits of Dry ice, making it faster and stronger and frozen acid. i know...but don't ask"

He places the metal near his skin, the skin peels and bits of blood begin to slide down Davis' skin

"Silver that even hurts humans?"

Blake says in amazement

"Well i didn't make it for that, mainly because if you shot a vampire with this sucker...he's going to hell from just the smoke of your gun never mind the bullet. The bullet are currently being made, this is just a sample"

He puts the silver away and takes the gloves off. Davis picks his shirt up and puts it on when Blake notices something.

"What's that?"

Blake points to Davis' chest

"Oh that, Birth mark"

Davis had the same birth mark as Nick. On the same spot, Blake remembers Nick and questions it in his head.

"You okay?"

Davis asks, Blake looks up, looking straight into Davis' eyes and smiles

"I'm fine'

Davis shrugs as he packed his things, Blake stares knowing something is up.

The Midnight Moon
Episode 4: God's Plan

The steam from the heated water exits the room as Nick steps out with a towel wrapped around his waist and another towel he uses to dry he's hair. He throws it on the bed. He takes a seat on the bed and takes his phone out from his back pocket. He texts James

"Got your message, I'll be there"

He sends the text and puts his phone down and took his clean shirt and put it on when he stopped, an idea had popped in his head. He walked over to the mirror and checked his neck and there was no wound. He looks away and continues to think. He tries to remember if James bit down on his neck, there would have to be a wound...wouldn't there? Nick takes a seat back on the bed, grabs the television remote and turns it on.

"Just moments ago, Police discovered 2 bodies of 26 year old Cassie Filler and 25 year old Patrick Warner. They were victims of the brutal vampire related deaths that's been happening right here in Tru Bon..."

The video shows police cars at the scene, the anchor stands next to the yellow tape. Nick walks over to the paper on the table and reads about last weeks attacks when he looks up as the sun descend. Nick walks into Clunkin-Good Time. He doesn't see Shawn. He nods at the cooks as he walks up to them.

"Hey Jer, Have you seen..."

"Your vampire friend? No..."

The heavy set Hawaiian said, as he flips some hamburgers.

"No, I um...Shawn, I'm looking for Shawn"

"Nah, I think he called in today..."

"Oh okay, Thanks"

Nick walked to the table and took a seat near the window, so James could spot him. He waits and waits, orders a soda, 30 minutes later he orders another then an hour later he orders another. He looks at his phone as it just turn 8:00 PM, He sees Shawn walking in the restaurant wearing a black hoodie pulled up and dark jeans. Nick spots him, Shawn looks over and spots him. Nick waves him over, Shawn sighs and walks over.

"Hey...Isn't today your day off?"

Shawn asked, Nick remembers and exhales in relief, smiling as he does

"Thank god, i forgot about that. What about you? why did you take today off?"

"Oh i felt under the weather...So why you here?"

Nick knew Shawn had bad feelings about James, so he lied.

"I was ugh....hungry"

It hits Shawn, He scoffs then looks back at Nick

"Your meeting the vampire here aren't you?"

Shawn said, his tone cocky and arrogant. there's a brief wind, James steps up and leans into the seat, smiling.

"Nick, Your meeting another vampire here?"

James said, sarcastically looking straight at Shawn, Shawn looked at James

"How did I know?"

Shawn sounded jealous, He looks at Nick.

"Shows you who your friends are..."

Shawn walks off, James looks over at Nick as he pulls out the menu near the ketchup.

"Shawn, Wait..."

Shawn kept walking, Nick sighs slightly angry at James. As he scrolled through the list of foods to order.

"Leave him, Vamp-ist (Racist against Vampires) are idiots"

James said with disgust, Nick looked at James

"I've known Shawn for a long time, can't you just learn to be friends?"

"I'm trying, trust me"

"try harder"

James smiles, Nick rolls his eyes knowing why James was smiling.

"Listen, I think I got a major clue on those serial killings"

James eyes widen with surprise

"Really?, like what?"

James said with utterly curiosity, Nick moved the empty cups aside.

"All the murders happen on a major road or major spot. That couple was killed on the road in which that cop first discovered a vampire causing them to come out and the bum that was killed In the trailer park. it's like God's Plan or something for me to solve this crime"

Nick told James, James listened to all the information when James quickly looks over at Shawn outside. Nick notices and looks over at Shawn.

"What?"

"Your friend smells of blood"

"Shaving? wait...speaking of blood, you and me got an issue to talk about...You bit me and frankly I'm on the unforgiving side right now"

"Sorry, human blood...it calls out to us, we fall for the lust of blood"

"I'm sure you would of went Hannibal if my blood didn't burn you which I'm still curious why it did. Why is that?"

"I'm not sure"

James lied, he dug his head in the menu.

"So what's this have to do with what I did last night? this whole murder thing"

Nick shrugs

"It doesn't...It just something i thought i bring up..."

Nick looks down, James notices

"Yesterday...You weren't yourself and I understand that"

Nick said, quietly. James quickly puts the menu down, Nick looks up at him.

"Do you remember the first time we met? ...I promised you I never hurt you after what we've been through...I could never hurt you and yesterday I did and I feel nothing but guilt"

James said, he sounded angry at himself.

"It's okay, I guess your human after all"

Nick ended it with a smile

"Besides, it's not like you did It on purpose"

Nick continued, James looked at the menu but not to order something but to look away from Nick when he said...

"I wanted to kill you...I was going to kill you and I wasn't going to hold back"

The door pushes open, acouple of hillbilly folk walk in laughing up a storm. It broke the tension, Nick looks at James, James quietly says.

"So I want you to not ask questions and just follow me okay"

James stands up, Nick stands up.

"Where we going?"

Nick curiously says, James looks over at Nick.

"I'm taking you to Zamxus"


-Moments Later-


Nick follows James, James normal walk pace was slightly faster as if he was running. Nick had to run to keep up with him.

"Zamxus?...Zamxus, Original vampire..Zamxus right?"

He spoke with excitement or fear. hard to tell from James point of view, James mainly kept to himself, keeping the answers short

"Yes.."

dark and quietly said by James?" Nick brought the point up,

"So...why don't we just take my car

James kept quiet for a moment then spoke with the same dark and quiet tone.

"Because there's a certain way we need to get there"

"Okay"

James continued looking down, hands in pockets as he pretty much started to glide. Nick noticed as he heard loud music, same music from the previous night. He becomes nervous. James said as he looked over at Nick then down at the end of the road

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this...Just keep quiet and stay behind me"

The music was from the a group of different Gothic vampires roaming the street. James and Nick caught up with them.

"Why is a vampire and..."

the leader of the teens stopped as he smelled Nick.

"A snack?"

he finished, James puts his arm up, blocking Nick and them.

"He's given his life to Zamxus and wishes to be turned by him. If any of you are against this idea, speak now"

The feared Zamxus named, sending a chill just thinking about the name. They nod as they run off, their speed amazingly fast. Nick looks at James

"I'm beat can we take a breather...."

Nick says, James smiles as he looks over at Nick.

"I'll take it from here, we're gonna follow their trail. It'll most likely lead to Z"

"Z?"

Nick said, curious

"It's a bar, Zamxus is known to visit that place when he's..."

"Hungry?"

James smiles right on the dot, Nick looks down, breathing heavy.

"Something like that..."

James then smells the trail the vampires left. James looks at Nick

"You remember Twilight when Edward carried Bella through out the forest?"

He nods wishing he didn't, James beckons his hand

"Yeah, I'm not so big on the whole me being carried by you part...I kinda trust you but the whole guy on guy thing isn't my thing"

Nick says, his face showing his disagreement

"Then we'll walk...It's a 10 mile walk, we'll reach it before sun down"

"10 miles?...hell with it! carry me!"

James smiles as Nick wraps his arm around him and starts running within minutes, hell within seconds he was there. The large black building miles away from the town stared back at James and Nick. Nick shakes off what just happened

"This is the place?"

Nick spoke as they entered the building which was covered head and toe by sucker humans and of course...vampires, all drinking bottle of Midnight Moon, some having sex and other just flirting around. They stared at Nick with interest. Nick stands close to James.

"Would you like to hold my hand?"

James mocked, Nick scuffs

"And give you some sick sexual pleasure, I'll pass"

"It'll show the others that you belong to me"

"It's either that or i find a leash"

"I'm fine, Vampires don't creep me out..that much"

"Don't speak, your scent increases when you speak that why they love when their prey screams, only increases their pleasure"

James and Nick walk to the bar, Nick not to far behind. The vampire smell Nick, even touching him as he walks by. the cold shock zapped through Nick time from time.

"it's a known fact, 75 percent of vampires are known to be attracted to the opposite gender. So a lot of these vampires don't want to kill you...lot of them want to..."

James says as the music covers over what James said, his lips move and Nick shivers in disgust. Nick smiles, sarcastically

"That's helpful, thanks"

In the back of the bar there was a large stage, Sitting in the middle of the stage was an elder man, 30 years old with long black hair with red highlights. Black muscle shirt with a large, heavy black jacket and black tuxedo like pants. He held a cane in the other hand, the handle was a skull with fangs. Nick pointed

"Why is that guy sitting on stage?"

He had to yell as alot of vampire next to him, stood close by him. James looked at Nick.

"That's Zamxus, he's one of the Leaders of V and one of the creators of The Church Of V"

Zamxus could smell Nick from across the bar. He looks over at Nick, Nick locks eyes with Zamxus. Nick looks at James.

"I think he likes me!"

Nick yells at James. Zamxus was protected by two beautiful pale white vampire woman, barely wearing anything. He snaps his fingers and they look at Nick and rush at him.


---Meanwhile---


A woman leaves Cluckin-Good Time, she walks to her car and takes her keys out. She tries to find the right key when she hears footsteps behind her. she looks and sees the unknown figure.

"Oh, I'm just having a hard time with my..."

Suddenly the strange figure lunges at the woman, sinking the teeth in her next. Moments pass as she is now dead. The person rips her clothing off and grabs a knife and slices into her chest. He then stops as he hears putting coming and runs off. The people see the woman dead on the ground.

"Someone call the police"

one of them said as they ran toward the body. The man looks down at the woman and sees what the unknown figure stabbed in. It spells J..A..M..E..S


The Midnight Moon

The Midnight Moon
Episode 5: Separate Ways


They land gently next to Nick, quickly to wrap each of their arms around him. The lady vampires so cold and pale stare at him with an undying lust.

"Um"

Both James and Nick were caught off guard. They jump back into the air, taking Nick with them. James sighs and rushes towards the stage, becoming a blur. They gently land back on stage, Nick opens his eyes, the ladies stand behind Zamxus as James quickly sides next to Nick. James' face is angry and stares at Zamxus. Zamxus stares at James and simply smiles.

"James, it's been to long"

Zamxus said. His accent sounded like a cliché vampire but it was clear he wasn't from America.

"Wait, you two know each other?"

Nick said with a sudden strike, Zamxus slaps Nick with the back of his hand. His claws scratch Nick's face causing blood to fly across the room as groups fight over the blood on the floor, some of it hits their face. Nick's face starts bleeding, all the vampires eyes turn black like sharks craving their meal, they craved Nick. Nick holds his cheek, James' did everything he could to resist the taste, the smell. He stared at Zamxus, keeping his angry focused on him.

"After all this time, you can still fight the taste"

Zamxus said, proud of James but James was silent for a moment.

"No, you taught me how to resist the taste but last night I craved it as I never have. You failed me"

James said, Zamxus just smirks

"I knew you'd eventually come back and now I see you're stronger but yet, you're weak like the day I met you"




-6 years earlier-



James, head down and hands in his pocket. He walks alone on the empty street in the middle of the night. Backpack on his back and hair slightly lengthener. He sees a small corner store. He felt the need to feel his hunger. He sighs and hopes this store carried Midnight Moon. He walks into a small store and walks up to the counter and sees the clerk, his attention towards the Maxim magazine. The man was thin and tall, emo hair cut with heavy eye liner matching his dark clothing with the name tag 'Hunter' near his heart.

"Hi, do you sell...umm"

James says, shyly

"Midnight Moon..."

He comes out and says, quietly

The clerk with his other hand quickly reaches for his gun. He looks at James with disgust, putting the magazine down.

"We don't sell that blood sh!t, Go somewhere else vampire!"

the clerk yelled, several people. Mostly teenagers look at James and start talking amogst themselves. James could hear what they were saying. James eyes widen from hearing what they said, He quickly ran out and all the teens followed him. James ran into the parking lot, The teens not far behind. All surrounding James.

"Please, I'm not here to hurt anyone...I'm just leaving"

James yells at the teens, James looks at them all, One teen punches James across the face, dropping him to the ground. Zamxus walked down the road as he saw James, being attacked.

"Please..."

James yells but they kick him in the face, spraying James' blood all over the floor. James covers his face as they kick him then they stop. James slowly raises his head, they're looking at someone else.

"STEP BACK!"

The young voice yelled, James looks over and 13 year old holds a shotgun toward them, keeping the teens all shaking in fear. His the 13 year old boy's eyes were watery, face dirty and revealed the trail of tears that he cried. His clothes were covered in blood. long black helmet like hair with a backpack on. He wore a black jacket with a dirty blue shirt underneath it and blue jeans. It was Nick. He had a bruised face and blood coming from his lips. The teens ran off, Nick walked over to James. He quickly puts the gun down and offers his hand. James takes his hand and Nick pulls him up. James quickly smells the blood on Nick.

"You okay?" Nick, kindly asks

"I'm fine, thanks...I'm James"

"Nicholas but I prefer Nick"

They were two shy kids; they shake hands when a drop of blood lands on Nick's hand. James eyes turn all black, He tackles Nick to the ground, Nick holding his shoulder back when Zamxus comes and throws James off Nick; Nick stands up as James' eyes return to normal.

"I'm sorry, I...I couldn't control myself"

James quickly says, stumbling over his words. Nick smiles, still kind.

"It's okay, I...I shouldn't have been bleeding"

Nick wipes it off as they both look at Zamxus

"Are you two alright?"

Zamxus says, He looks the same as he does in the present. Zamxus looks at Nick then at James.

"We're okay"

Nick says, James nods

"I'm sorry Nick, I...I'll never do that again...I promise"

Zamxus looks at James.

"We need to talk"


--Present--


James looks over at Zamxus with a growing hate and anger. Nick feared for his life as the vampires crawls on the wall and floor all around him. He whispers a foreign name in their tongue and stands up. James looks at Zamxus then at Nick in panic confirming James fears.

"What? What is it?" Nick says quickly with rising panic in his voice.

"You're the boy who saved James aren't you?"

Zamxus says, Nick nods as Zamxus swipes his finger across Nick's cheek then quickly tasting his blood. Zamxus smiled and looked over at James

"Interesting taste..."

Zamxus walked off into a back door, Nick stared at James, James looked away letting the solved mystery sink in. Zamxus opens a door behind the curtains and walks inside. James walks in and Nick follows behind with a hurried pace. The door slams shut on it's own. The moans and cries of the vampires could be heard.

"Please sit"

Zamxus takes a seat behind a desk; James leans against the wall as Nick takes a seat not to far from Zamxus' desk. His guards stand behind Zamxus.

"Boy, do you contain a birth mark of some kind?"

Zamxus ask, Nick nods as he lifts his shirt up quickly revealing his birth mark which was more of a burn mark than birth mark. It was an X near his belly button. Zamxus felt it, Nick's chest shivered from the cold touch. Zamxus looked at James as Nick put his shirt down.

"What is it? What did you say that has James all hush hush?"

Zamxus smiled as his eyes drifted to James, James' eyes narrowed at Zamxus and he shook his head 'no' Zamxus shrugs and sits back.

"I'll let you figure that out. So James, listen...I know why you and Nicholas are here and no, I have no involvement in those murders. i frankly like to keep me and my vamps out of the spotlight. We still believe in secrecy

"I knew this was a waste of time, let's go Nick"

James starts to walk off, Nick stands up

"But I might have an idea of who"

"Who?" Nick says which cased James to stop and just turn his head.

"He's name is Zane Reaper and he's my son!"

Nick was confused, he looks over at James.

"How old are you?"

Nick asks

"300 years old"

Zamxus replies. Nick was confused

"But wait, you look 25"

"I was turned at this age"

"So vampires aren't immortal?"

Nick asks. Zamxus chuckles

"That's a story for another time"

Nick notices the pain in his cheek is gone. He wipes the remaining blood on his sleeve

"What does this birth mark mean?"

"In time, you'll know but I'm afraid it's not my place to say...But what i will say is that it's a vampire language burnt on your chest"

Zamxus tells Nick, Nick accepts it's a burn mark. He nods and placing his hand on his chest.

"What am I? You whispered something earlier...What was it?"

"I said Changling..it has a meaning upon our kind"

The guards walk over and opens the small hatch, they nod and close it. They speak in tongue to Zamxus, Their language is like a whisper, quickly spoken and not a sound was heard. James hardly knew the language; Zamxus taught him just important words. James looks at Nick; Zamxus back at both of them.

"I'm afraid I've become extremely busy, Please leave through back door"

Zamxus guides them as the guards open the back door, Nick looks at Zamxus

"Zane Reaper?"

"Zane Reaper, Yes"

They exit through the back and the door slams shut, James continues to walk. Nick catches up with him.

"Cool, a lead...I feel like a hardy boy"

"Who?"

James quickly said with a heated tone. Nick didn't answer

"What's wrong?"

Nick asked as he sensed something up with James, James stops walking and looks at Nick.

"You don't understand that bastard, once he has you in his pocket, he keeps you there and what did you do? ...you ate everything he threw at you"

James stormed off; Nick suddenly got mad and caught up with James.

"Wait, your blaming me for going to see Zamxus when you took me to him?"

Nick said

"I took you there because I felt guilty. I bit you and I was trying to make it up and instead what happens? ...Zamxus cuts you and gives you nothing but lies. You humans are so gullible"

Nick stood there. James continued to walk

"Not once...have you ever said 'you humans' to me. You considered me a brother and I accepted you as you were. I never thought of you any different and you call me something a vampire would call me. James, What in the hell is your problem?"

James stops and turns toward Nick. James' eyes slowly started to turn black, he closed his eyes and shook it off.

"That night...you were covered in blood and beaten, I never questioned that...So I'll question it right now, why were you beaten and covered in blood, never mind the shot gun?"

Nick stared at him

"Your asking why did I save you that night?"

Nick says, James stares at him

"Why did you?"

James walks off, Nick lets the memories of that night flash before him. He holds the tears back.

"I saw a kid in pain, someone I could relate to..."

Nick says as he looks at James, James stops walking and just turns his head.

"Well we're nothing alike"

James mutters. He runs off and in a split second, he's gone. Leaving Nick alone.

The Midnight Moon

[Nickpick]

The Midnight Moon
Episode 6: Cello Run

Nick stood there; He wasn't in shock, mainly upset. He couldn't believe what James said. All the questions ran through his head of what he meant.

"James, you'll never let anyone in, you close people out so many times. I'm surprised I've been your friend for this long"

Nick yells with his arms out, as if he was screaming at the sky. He continues walking down the long road, trees on each side of him. He kicks a rock around, staring at it. He gives it one hard kick and watches it travel up the road.

"There goes my only entertainment..."

He looks up the road and sees a group of kids. They're wearing suits and the little girls are wearing 18 century dresses but their faces are hidden in the darkness

"Are you guys lost?"

Nick asks, He walks toward them, the light hits their face, Nick stares at them in shock. Their faces are disfigured, skin pale with blood red eyes, teeth are a black silver along with the a dark blackness that covered their whole mouth. They weren't vampires, they were Zombies. They lower their mask and hide their face.

"Oh...Shit..."

Suddenly they broke into a sprint towards Nick, He runs into the forest, dodging trees and branches everywhere. The laughing behind them would paralyze anyone in fear but Nick kept running, not a thought crossed his mind expect to run. He didn't stop even when he heard the fade of the laughs, he would continue running until his knees hurt, arms were cuts and bleeding and eyes sore. Nick stops at the river, he turns around, knowing they would be behind him but they're weren't.

"Nick!"

The whisper stung Nick's ears, a hard wind blew him back into the river. He reaches the other side of the river and coughs out access water that escaped into his mouth. He looks up at the forest, He saw a fire not to far into the forest, it looked like a campsite from where he was. He stood up and started walking into the forest. He sees the fire getting further and further as he walked toward it. Suddenly as if it was right behind him, He hears a loud cry of a wolf.



--Meanwhile--



Blake throws one books aside and opens another. Abby walks from another room and sees him searching through books. She sighs

"I put all your Heroes and Villains books in your room. They were crowding the table"

He ignores her, Blake continues searching through books. She walks up to him, looking down at the book.

"What are you doing?"

"Busy, leave me alone"

he quietly says.

"Why?...What are you doing?"

she asks again, Blake looks up, angry

"LEAVE ME ALONE!!"

He yells at her, she stares at him and walks off and leaves the hide out, Blake would of usually run and stopped her, apologized and let her know what he was doing but he didn't, He looked back at the book and continued to search through it.

"La-Sevin-Gomas-Deas?"

"Children Of Tainted Blood?"

Blake turns around and standing at the doorway was David, he was well dressed with his hands behind his back. He planned on revealing his love for Abby but the dead language seemed more important.

"What are you reading?"

"Not now David"

Blake pounds his fist on the table, David puts the flowers on the coffee table near the door and walks up to David, Blake quickly grabs David's shirt and lifts it up but David quickly pushes Blake back.

"What in the hell are you doing?"

Blake looks at David

"Your birthmark...I want to see it"

Blake demands, David disagree "

No..."

"Now!" Blake yells!, David just stares at him then Blake rushes at him. David punches him; Blake stops and gently places his hand on his face. Blake looks at David and rushes him, David swings but dodges and uppercuts David. David takes a few steps back, David looks at Blake. Blake swings at him but David steps back and grab the lamp and hits Blake in the head but it doesn't break. Blake holds his head, David looks at the lamp then at Blake

"STOP!"

Abby runs out and breaks the fight up

"What the hell is going on?"

"Nothing"

Blake mutters, David holds his nose

"Blake's gone insane"

"What the hell are you?"

Blake says to David, David smirks

"Human, What the hell are you?"

"Blake...what's going on?"

"Nick and David have the same birthmark the man who killed our parents had..."

David looked away, learning he shared the same birthmark as Nick made him full of questions.



--Meanwhile--



James stops in the middle of the road, he hears laughing at screaming to his left. He looks over and sees a group of vampires harassing humans in their home. It's the same group of Gothic teenagers that he ran into with Nick. He quickly rushes over. 2 teens stood on the roof, James jumped onto the roof. They looked at him, James in one punch, punched through one teen. He punches his other hand in and tears the vampire apart. He jerks his claws out and cuts the other in the neck and cuts his head off. James stands up from his stance walks to the edge where 4 teens walked from the back. He jumps down, He ducks as they jump toward him. In a single slash, he cuts two heads off, The other he extracts his fangs and bites and drinks their blood, he throws him aside after removing both his arms.

"You guys give Vampire's a bad name!"

James says

"Who sent you?"

The voice comes from the darkness, James turns and sees the same Vampire he shot the previous night. He had a hole through his left eye and wasn't dead. James smirks

"Didn't i kill you?"

The Gothic Vampire hisses, revealing his teeth as his eyes turn black. James smiles, revealing his normal teeth and his eyes stay normal

"I won't even have to change to kick your ass"

The Gothic vampire rushes at James, James takes stances and smiles

-The Midnight Moon-

The Midnight Moon
Episode 7: Live Together, Die Alone

Nick passes the trees and enters a small clearing. A torch in the middle of the clearing gives the area light.

"Great"

Nick sighs as he starts walking towards the torch

"Well at least i'll have some light"

As he reaches towards the torch when a loud break stops him. He swallows spit as he slowly turns around. Behind him, standing next to each other are 3 large, horse sized wolves. One black as night, eyes emerald green and teeth long as knives. He stood on the right hand side of a larger pure dark gray wolf. He had bright blue eyes, piercing almost with fur softer than snow. Next to him was a brown wolf, He had golden eyes and thick fur. They stared at Nick with a hunger and lust in their eyes. Each had their jaw open, revealing their teeth with saliva dripping from their mouths.

"Nice....wolves"

Nick takes a step back causing the black wolf to let a growl. Nick breaks into a sprint, grabbing the torch and running into the forest. The werewolves chase after him. Faster and faster the wolves became, so close as they snapped at Nick's shirt unable to reach it but inches away. Nick tried to run faster but he felt weaker than the previous chase. He knew he was give up any moment.



--Meanwhile--


Abby held her arms out between Blake and David. David retracts his blades into his sleeves and walks towards the door.

"Where you going? We're not done yet!"

Blake yells, David grabs the doorknob and turns toward Blake.

"I'm done"

"David...please"

Abby says, putting her arms down. David looks down and releases the door, closing it behind him. He turns around toward Blake and Abby.

"What do you want to know?"

"Do you know the vampire that killed our parents?"

"No...Like i said, i was born with this mark on me. I've done my research on it and found very little information on it's origins. But i do know i've seen it on some vampires"

Blake puts his blade down, he pulls a chair out and takes a seat, he looks over at David.

"When were you going to give me some of those blades?"

Blake says, David smirks

"300 and I'll make them"

"Hell with you!"

Blake says to David, David takes a seat. David reaches over and hold his hand out, Blake shakes it.

"Sorry"

"Me too"

Blake looks over at Abby, he keeps his puppy eyes as he looks at her.

"I'm sorry Abbs. I was mad and blinded by questions that i lost control of reality. We cool?"

Abby smile, gently smacking Blake on the face

"We're cool"



--Meanwhile--



James slides under the teen's attack, He stabs his hand through the teen's back and rips his heart out. It's black and not beating. He crushes it in his hands and grabs the teen's hair and pulls it down, James steps on the teen's neck.

"Your going to tell me what i want to hear"

James smiles



--Meanwhile--


Nick drops the torch, the flame hits one of the wolves but the other two continue to chase Nick. Nick sees two fallen trees ahead of him. Running around them would take time, Nick sees an opening below, He peeks up slight speed and slides under the fallen trees. The brown wolf sticks his large head under the trees but can't get through. Nick smiles but the black wolf jumps over the trees and lands in front of Nick. Nick stares at him, the black wolf growls as he stares at Nick. Nick's hand feels a large rock underneath his hand. He grips it and throws it, it hits the wolf. Nick gets up but the black wolf jumps at Nick and bites his arm.

"AGHHH!"

Nick screams from the top of his lung, James from so far away senses Nick's pain. He grabs the teen's neck stares deep into his eyes.

"You've served your purpose"

James snaps the teen's neck and rips the head off. James looks over towards the forests and runs off. He becomes a blur, he's at Nick's side in seconds. He grabs the wolf and throws him off. He picks an unconscious Nick up and runs off. Watching James as he ran off were 3 unknown people that stood in the darkness, 1 woman, 2 men. They all looked at each other then ran off in the opposite direction, disappearing in the shadows, the howls of wolves are heard in the darkness

-2 hours later-

Nick was in the bathroom in a diner. He has his shirt off, He seemed upset. He stares at the mirror at his body. He looks at his birthmark then he looks at his wounds as they suddenly heal up. First becoming a small flash of light then dimming and appearing healed. it confuses Nick; Nick grabs a wet towel and cleans the dry blood off and mud. He grabs his shirt and puts it on; He walks out and sitting at the table is James, David, Blake and Abby. Blake looks over at him, Nick nods at Blake, and He nods back. Abby waves at him. David notices as he waves back. He looks away then Nick takes a seat.

"You okay?"

James asks Nick, He looks at James.

"Fine...They didn't...umm break the skin. It's just a bite"

James nods as Nick tells James.

"By the way, I'm...sorry for earlier...I let my feelings against Zamxus get in the way which caused me to get angry at you"

James told Nick, Nick looked at James.

"How many times am I going to have to forgive you?"

Nick joked, James smiles

"Thanks"

He simply said, Nick nods, the waiter walks up.

"Can I take your order?"

The waiter was chipper, it was kind of annoying. Nick looked at him.

"Water...please"

The waiter looked at Blake.

"Sprite with lots of ice please"

the waiter looked at Abby.

"I'll have the same as Blake's"

He writes it down then looks at David.

"Ummm...I'll have water as well"

David had something on his mind; As he then looked at the salt and pepper. The waiter looked at James, The waiter's smile went away, it's like the waiter knew he was a vampire. James looked up.

"I'll have...some Midnight Moon"

The waiter nods and walks off

"Nick..."

Blake says, Nick looks up from the table.

"Can I ask you something?"

Nick nods

"Well it's come to my attention that you and David..."

David quickly looks up that's when the diner door open, the little bell grabbed Nick's attention, he looks over, he elbows James causing James to look over causing Blake and Abby to look over, David sorta knew what Blake was going to ask. He stared at Nick

"Hey Mr. Reaper!, The usual?"

The cook said. Zane reaper walked through the door. He looked actually like Zamxus, Only the real age of 17.

"That's..."

Nick started

"Zane Reaper"

James said, almost like a growl. Zane looked over at the table then looked away.

-The Midnight Moon-

[Nickpick]

The Midnight Moon
Episode 8: Capture And Escape

Zane Reaper, One tall son of a b*tch...He was about 17 year old, the red highlights in his hair made him look less childish and more teenager with a hint of threat to his appearance but only notice when under direct light or when his hair would move. Zane looked just like his father, Zamxus. only difference was Zamxus had scars across his face. Nick's eye scanned back to James, James looked at Zane, David looked at Nick, Abby and Blake looked at Zane.

"James, how do we approach this?"

Nick quietly says almost a whisper, James looks at Nick breaking his focus.

"I'm not sure...I think we should just rush him"

James says, quietly as he can. James leaned over the counter to the waiter as he approached, gently placing the drinks down and back at the bar, Zane grabbed the bartender's attention by jerking his head toward the group.

"Who are the new faces?" Zane asks, his accent wasn't from Tru Bon. It was normal, Zamxus had an accent but his son didn't. Zane took after his mother but his facial appearance took from his father.

"Excuse me waiter...do you know that man up at the bar?"

"Yeah, That's Zane...Reaps or Reaper, the last name slips me...well enjoy your drinks"

He walks off, The bartender stares at the group for a moment.

"See the one in the grey sweater with white shirt?"

Zane looks over, He looks at James.

"Yeah, what about him?"

The waiter smirks

"He's a vampire..."

Zane eyes widen, He slowly stood up and looked at the door.

"Where you going?"

The bartender said with his rough, rusted voice, James heard and he looked up.

"He's running!"

James said as he took, he was against the window yet he managed to get pass Nick in the seat without spilling or hurting anyone. Zane started to run for his life as he held tightly to the bag he held. Nick and James ran after him. Blake, Abby and David stayed in the diner

"So, What are you guys gonna get?"

Blake asks, opening the menu

David sitting against the wall, went under the table and got out, He walked toward the bathroom.

"David, what's up?"

Abby asks, almost yelling across the diner being the only ones there it seemed alright to her. David without looking back says.

"I need to cool off"

Abby looks at Blake

"Is he mad or something?"

Abby quietly asks Blake, Blake without looking or paying attention pointed on the menu

"The eggs with sausage looks good, what are you getting?"

Blake looks at Abby; she sighs and looks at her menu.

"What? ...What?"

Blake says



Meanwhile



Nick and James chased after Zane; Zane ran down the road, James stops. He takes a running stance and runs and jumps, He flies into air as he speeds through the sky and lands right on Zane. He holds him down while Nick catches up.

"Good job"

Nick says, out of breath, leaning forward, resting on his knees.

"Where do you think your going?"

James asks Zane

"I've got nothing to say to my Father's Henchmen"

James looks at Nick, Nick looks at Zane.

"Henchmen? ...no, we don't work for your father?"

Zane looks at Nick then James

"Your vampire's right?"

Nick shakes his head.

"No, while I'm not but he is"

"So let me get this straight, you hang with a vampire" Zane asks Nick.

"Well it's not that simple but in a way...I guess so"

"Nick!, We have Zane!"

James tells Nick, Nick snaps out of it.

"Oh!, right...We have some questions we need to ask you"

Nick tells Zane, Zane looks at Nick, his eyes turn pure black.

"Human, kill this vampire"

Nick was confused, James smirks

"Charm doesn't work on him, A**hole"

James punches him over the face, knocking him out.



-45 minutes later-



Zane slowly regains consciousness, he opens his eyes and the bright lights forces them close. It opens them against and sees Nick and James standing before him in the very simple room. One bed and a lamp. Zane laid on the bed as he sat up.

"Where am I?"

"Somewhere far from where we were...Our hide out"

Nick tells Zane, Zane looks around then back at Nick as he still tries to keep his eyes open.

"If I'm here then it's not much of a hide-out then?"

Nick takes a second before answering, ticking him for slightly

"Well you don't know the location so...it still remains a hide-out"

Nick proves his point but Zane thinks about it again.

"Wait..what if you let me go and when I'm walking out I see a familiar place and I'm like 'Hey so this is where their hide-out is?'"

Nick sighs before answering

"But we can blindfold you..."

It was back and forth for a couple of moments, slowly pissing James off. He snaps, punching the wall making a loud Bang! noise.

"NICK!"

Nick quickly looks at James

"Please ask him the questions!"

James demands, Nick nods as he looks over at Zane

"Are you the one killing innocent people in Tru Bon?"

Zane's face is confused, almost assaulted

"What?, listen I may hate my father but I still respect his rules..I feed on the old and dying, That's it"

Nick looks at James, James could hear Zane's heartbeat as Zane stood up.

"He's telling the truth as much as he's scared"

Zane walks up to James

"I'm not scared, you are!"

James looked at Zane with an 'are you serious?' look; Zane shuts up.

"Act your age..."

James sighs from the annoyance and walks off, out of the room and down the hall.

"I'm thirsty"

"So.."

Nick quickly replies before Zane continues talking, Zane looks at Nick and his eyes turn black. He smiles revealing his fang and leaps at him, James in a flash rushing back into the room and pulls Zane off Nick but it was to late, he broke the skin and tasted Nick's blood. He throws Zane across the room, hitting the wall hard. Nick stands up, holding his wound on his neck before it begins to heal.

"WHEN...WILL I STOP BEING BITTEN!!! IT'S GETTING TIRING AT THIS POINT!"

Zane smiles, wiping the blood from his lips

"It might have been a sip but it was worth it"

Nick and James left the room, locking behind him. David stood at the end of the hall. Blake and Abby sat on the couch as Nick sat next to them, starting up a conversation.

"What do we do with him?"

David walks out from the bathroom from down the hall, he sees the room locked up. He flips the lock and enters the room.

"Great...there's more...who are you?"

Zane asks, David looks at Zane.

"Lift your shirt up"

he quietly says, staring at Zane like he was from rare piece of art. Zane smiles.

"Sorry darling, i don't swing that way..."

"Lift your shirt up now!"

David demanded. Zane sighs as he lifts it up with his tied up hands. Zane's chest was full of scars, he didn't have much muscle and if he did, they were small but there was no birth mark on his chest. David looks away in disappointment

"Damn it"

David mutters under his breath. Zane puts his shirt down

"Your human right?"

Zane's eyes turn black, David smirks

"One inch toward me and I'll cut your head off"

2 blades quickly pops out from David's sleeve's, Zane's eyes turn normal.

"You guys all suck!"

Zane takes a seat and David puts his blades away as he leaves the room, forgetting it lock it. Nick wipes the remaining blood from his neck.

"We will simply bring him back to his father...it's the original plan"

Suddenly Nick's phone rings, Nick answers it

"Hello?"

"Hey, Nick...its Shawn, listen...I was hoping if your not to busy if we could meet somewhere and talk...I owe you an apology for acting stupid, I just got done working a 15 hour shift so I was tired"

"Shawn, It's cool...I understand"

"Thanks...listen, meet me tomorrow at this old warehouse just past the old Tru Bon welcome sign"

"Old warehouse....why?"

Nick asks, Shawn replies with

"I have something cool I want to show you"

Nick smiles

"Tomorrow?...Okay, Cool, Later Shawn"

"Bye Nick"

Nick hangs up, Shawn hangs up as well, In his apartment he walks up to the window as he sees the sun about to rise

"Nick, tomorrow...I'll show you why vampires are wrong..." Shawn looks down at a 12 inch blade, he smiles as he closes the curtain.

David, Abby, Blake, Nick and James stand around.

"We take him to his father tomorrow night, it'll be easier that way"

Nick suggest, James nods along with everyone else

"Good idea! Oh Blake and Abby mind if I rest here tonight...My place is far and I won't make it in time cause of the sun"

Blake and Abby nod, allowing James to spend the night. Abby shows him to a room where he can sleep, As they walk down the hall they see the door where Zane was wide open and Zane gone.

"That son of a B!tch!" James yells

The Midnight Moon
Episode 9: Sunrise

Nick and James stand in the empty room where Zane use to be. It's silent, James turns around, eyes black from the anger building up. Nick stands in front of James.

"James, Wait!"

"Move out of my way!"

"Listen to me, You won't be able to because in a couple of hours the sun will rise and there's no promise you'll make it back"

James was breathing heavy from the anger, Nick has never seen him so angry.

"I SAID MOVE!"

James with one push, throwing Nick back and crashes into the wall and in that split second, James was gone. Abby helps Nick out as they clean off Nick.

"I gotta stop him"

Nick runs off, Abby sighs as she looks over at Blake. Blake inhales deeply and exhales.

"We're going after them aren't we?"

"Yep!"

"Great..."

Blake walks off as Abby nods, following him. Nick rushes outside where he sees peak of the sun beginning to rise.

"Damn it!"

Nick runs to the stairway where he sees James on the floor, shaking with foam blood pouring out of his mouth. Nick runs over to him.

"BLAKE!"

Blake runs out and sees Nick trying to carry James, He bolts to him and helps carry James back inside before the sun fully rises and turns James into a pile of dust. Blake and Nick carry a shaking James as they rush him into the apartment. Abby stares out at the sky as the sun reveals it whole self just as Nick and Blake reach the apartment, The sun hits James causing a blast of power to come off him pushing Blake and Nick back, Nick quickly gets up as James screams in pain.

"JAMES!"

Nick yells, The sound of burning skin sounded like burning butter in a hot pan. The skin started to burn from his neck to his fingers. Nick ran over and grabbed James, James' eyes weren't black but red, skin was a glowing white. His clothes no longer were on his body, he was nude. Nick tries moving him but he didn't budge.

"James!"

James looks at Nick, in a blur, he pulls his head back and bites down on his neck, Nick begins to scream in pain as it grew worse and worse.

"Aghhhhh!!!"

David watches the horror take place before him. Abby rushes to the door and pulls it closed cutting the direct sunlight off, James falls to the floor and Nick falls to the ground, bleeding heavily.

"Towels! DAVID! TOWELS!"

David runs down the hall, grabs as many towels as he can and runs back but Nick is standing, covered in blood and his wounds healed. Abby stares up at him in amazement.

"What the..."

Nick rushes to James who's on the ground, barley breathing. Nick takes James sharp claws and forces them to cut his wrist. He quickly puts his bleeding wrist to James mouth where James begins to feed off Nick. James burnt skin begins to heal as his eyes return to normal. Nick jerks his arm away as James begins to heal by himself. James gets on his knees and throws up as his mouth is burning.

"Nick..."

Nick looks over at David, David smiles

"What...are...you?"

Nick looks over at Blake then just walks off but James grabs Nick's wrist, stopping him.

"That's 3 times i've acted out...I'm sorry"

"Stop with the sorry...i hate that word, i hate everything about it. I forgive you okay...just don't be yourself up"

James releases his hold, Abby takes a seat as Blake looks over at her with a smile.

"What?"

"I don't get them too"

Blake takes a seat next to hear and leans close.

"Well i did some research on their history, Nick saved James awhile back. Ever since they've been like brothers, pushing the boundaires on human, vampire relationship. It's banned amongst vampires"

"Nick...What...Are we?"

David whispered to himself.

"Your making a moment..."

Nick whispers to James, James quickly steps up. Abby looks at James and Nick,

"What in the hell happened?"

James looks at Abby

"When a vampire enters sunlight, we crave more..all we can think about is 'more' while our bodies burn. Even to our death, we're still craving"

James' says, almost disgusted at himself. James walks off and stops.

"I was in the sunlight for more than 30 seconds, I should be dead...Thank you..all of you"

Blake and Abby nod, David is quiet along with Nick. James walks into the back room and closes the door.

"Nick...Can we talk?"

"No..."

Nick opened the front door, Abby grabbed his wrist.

"You healed before my eyes, how is that possible?"

"I don't know...i have no clue and knowing i can scares the living crap out of me. I just...need some time to myself ok"


"Your going to look for Zane aren't you?"

"And if i am?"

"You can't take him alone...Blake, Load up!"

Blake nods, getting up and walking to the back room.

"I don't want you two with me"

"I don't want you alone...so you can go and get yourself killed and let us deal with James again or we can come and get this done faster...I would say it's your call but i choose to come along"

Abby walks past Nick with Nick irritated, he closes the door behind him. Blake runs out.

"Abby, Have you seen my gun? can't find it..."


--Meanwhile, Zamxus' Club--



Zane busts through the doors, His clothes on fire, He throws them off and closes the doors

"FATHER!...FATHER, WHERE ARE YOU?"

Zane yelled, monstrously. All the vampires were gone sleeping. Zamxus along with his guards walked out, The beauty of his guard shined off them. Like angel only more....yeah, They were naked, making any human thoughtless and speechless. His guard were just waking up from sleeping. As they held large guns in their arms. Zamxus was shirtless wearing only his black leather pants much like Zane.

"Zane?...You leave for months and return in the middle of the morning?, screaming from the top of your fangs?"

Zamxus' voice was sleepy, Zamxus jumps off stage.

"Can we have some privacy?"

Zane asks. Zamxus snaps his fingers and his guards go back to their chambers. Zamxus and Zane stood their like two gunslingers from the west.

"Father, i was caught by these men, They questioned me about these murders"

"A human and vampire?"

Zamxus asks

"Yes, It was them...You did send them"

Zane tightens his jaw after asking. His father shakes his head

"No, It wasn't me...They came here and were asking about you, I told them you couldn't have done it...then they left"

the edges of Zane lips curly up into a smile, He turns around putting his hands to his hips

"Father...You were always a terrible liar!"

Zane quickly takes his gun out and shoots Zamxus in the heart, The silver starts to burn his skin, from his chest, down his body and up past his face. In seconds, he's a pile of ash. Zane used Blake's gun

"Father...I shall take your crown in the church in Texas then when i've killed all the ancients...then i shall make myself King amongst the vampires. Oh! and say hello to mother for me!"

He puts the gun away and walks off.

The Midnight Moon
Episode 10: God (Part 1)

Blake rides his auto-scooter with Nick in the side-cart while Abby rides her own auto-scooter. The pull over onto the hot dirt outside Zamxus' Bar. Abby pulls the laptop out of his bag. While Nick and Blake look around before entering.

"Well it's been morning for at least an hour, Zane is either sleeping or burnt to a crisp"

Blake looks around, no ashes can be seen.

"I'm not seeing any ashes, I think we should look inside"

Blake says while walking up to Nick, It's hot outside almost 100 degrees. He nods.

"Okay, stay alert"

Blake and Abby both nod. Blake takes out a small knife and hands it to Nick. Nick just looks at it.

"What do you expect me to do with that?"

Nick tell Blake, Blake sighs

"You need to protect yourself"

Blake pushes the knife against Nick's chest, Nick takes it

"I've never used a knife before, where do I aim?"

He says studying the knife, Blake walks off, Abby puts her laptop in the car

"Metal and Vampire's don't mix...Vampire 101 my friend"

Blake tells Nick, Nick nods as he catches up with them. They walk to the doors and kick it down, they look around at the empty bar.

"Zane?...You here?"

Nick quietly whispers, the thought of his previous visit plays a part in his whispering. Blake points to a burn jacket on the ground, Abby point to a pale of ashes up ahead.

"Think that's Zane?"

Abby says as she walks toward it. Nick and Blake walk up to the ashes, Abby takes an arrow and uses it to search through out the ashes until she finds a necklace. She uses the metal arrow to pull it out, revealing a large red ruby necklace. Nick quickly has a flash of his previous visit, he sees Zamxus wearing the large necklace.

"That's not Zane...that's his father"

Nick says when suddenly two stone doors fly off into the center of the room, Nick ducks as the door flies past him and crash against the floor..The 2 female vampire walk out wearing a thin see-through clothing with long white heels and a white skirt, ripped on each side. Both appearing crying, their moans were ear piercing. Nick, Abby and Blake held their ears as they cried blood from their eyes.

"You...It was you, you killed our master"

Their accent was soft, gently but annoying

"He shall kill you a thousands times over in hell"

"We'll send you to hell"

They scream as the vampire's eyes turn black, fangs stick out no longer than an index finger long. Both grab a handle on the stone floor and pull it up revealing a large torrent.

"We hide?"

Abby asks aloud, Nick is speechless

"YES!"

Abby runs for cover, hiding behind the bar as Blake pushes Nick as hard as he can, He flies back, sliding against the floor; sliding behind a statue along with Blake. They start shooting, Abby peeks out and starts shooting when a bullet hits her shoulder, she drops to the ground.

"Abby!"

Blake yells, He takes out his sling-shot. He loads two large metal balls, He looks over at Nick.

"Distract them!"

The gunfire causes Blake to yell to Nick, Nick nods. Nick stands up behind the statue and looks over at both of them when they start shooting at him, bits and pieces of the pillar flew into the air. Blake stood up and shots both metal balls at the women, they smile as they see the metal balls flying at them.

"Cute..."

The ball turn into spike and their faces widen as one spiked ball hits a woman in the chest, ripping right through her, the other cuts through the forehead, killing them both. Blake looks over along with Nick. They quickly run over to Abby's side.

"Abby, you okay?"

Blake asks, she looks at him with an 'are you serious?' look

"I've been shot in the shoulder, what do you think?"

She yells at Blake, he rolls his eyes.

"Over dramatic"

Blake says

"Abby, I have an idea..."

Nick says, grabbing the knife Blake gave him. He cuts his wrist and Nick tightens his jaw as the extreme amount of pain traveled through his body. The blood drops on Abby's wound, His blood looked clean, it wasn't warm and sticky but cold and pure. As it touched Abby's wound, it began to heal everything. Abby's skin reattaches as she quickly feels it and just her shirt has a hole in it and her skin is back to normal. Nick's wrist begins to heal

"Dude, that's useful"

Blake smiles, looking at Nick's wrist

"Don't get use to it"

Nick stands up, Blake helps Abby up

"Thanks"

Abby says to Nick, Nick nods

"Now what?"

Blake says as they begin to head toward the doors

"We'll Zane couldn't have gone far so I think we..."

Nick spots a camera attached to the ceiling, He points at it, Blake and Abby look up

"God, I hope it was recording"



Moments Later



Nick, Abby and Blake couldn't find the monitor room, So Abby attaches a wire to the camera to her laptop. The feed shows a live feed of all of them on her laptop

"God, am I that tall?"

Blake says looking at himself in the laptop.

"I'm taller than you"

Nick points out, Blake replies

"You're also older than me, jerk"

"Okay, here's everything that happened in the last 2 hours. She rewinds the feed"

"Stop"

Nick quickly says as the feed shows Zane and Zamxus confronting each other, Zane takes his gun out and shots Zamxus.

"My gun!, That bastard!"

Blake points on the screen, Abby smacks his hand

"your putting fingerprints on it"

Abby wipes the screen off, Nick listens to Zane.

"Father...I shall take your crown in the church in Texas then when i've killed all the ancients...then i shall make myself King amongst the vampires. Oh! and say hello to mother for me!"

Zane's voice was raspy from the feed

"Church in Texas?"

Nick tries to remember why that's sounds familiar then it hits him, He remembers the night him and James first arrived here, Nick points to Zamxus on stage

"Who's that?"

"That's Zamxus, He's one of the Leaders of V and one of the creators of The Church of V, It's created by 6 Vampires that live In the Church, Zamxus was banned when he left the church to..."

James told Nick when suddenly two woman vampires fly in and grab Nick and takes him away, Nick snaps out of it

"The church of V!...James told me there's a Church called The Church of V, It was created by 6 ancient vampires. It must be in Texas. That's has to be where Zane is going!"

Nick felt proud and excited that he solved where Zane was going.

"If that's true then he hasn't gotten far in this heat...Good job Nick"

Blake pats Nick.

"Wait..."

Abby says, she starts typing on the laptop

"What is it Abby?"

Nick asks

"This feed; it's a two way feed...I think I can see where this other camera is at"

Abby says while continuing to type when suddenly the current feed changes, The camera is slowly turning when it stops, A man walks up to the camera and sees Abby and Blake, He's an old man. He wears old church like clothing, a long gown. His hair is white. Abby and Blake are scared as it caught them off guard. The old man looks over and sees Nick, His eyes widen as he steps back in fear, The feed dies.

"What the hell was that?"

Blake asks, Abby and Blake look at Nick, Nick's eyes are wide, confused on what just happened

"Nick, do you know that guy?"

Abby asks, Nick looks at Abby then he quickly but quietly said

"No..."

-The Midnight Moon-

The Midnight Moon
Episode 11: Angel (Part 2)

"I need to get going..." Nick bust through the front door and to the scooter. He stops when he becomes dizzy, he begins to see double of everything. He holds his head with one hand as the sun beats down on his face. He stumbled back and forward trying to gain balance.

"You alright, Nick?" Abby said, not knowing what to do. He heard a quiet, distance voice as he drops to his knees and then flat on his back.

"NICK!" Blake yells before Nick finally blacks out. "You're asking why I saved you." "Why did you save me?" "I saw a kid in pain, someone I could relate to" "We're nothing alike"

Nick is standing in darkness, events and memories are small windows that play all around him then fade into the darkness.

"So I'll question it right now, why were you beaten and covered in blood, never mind the shot gun?"

James voice was distance, like an echo that repeated itself over and over. Nick couldn't relive the movements again. He stared down at the nothing below him. Darkness that had no light.

"I was young" Nick narrates to no one; as he speaks all the windows of events fade away. It's nothing but the blackness and him.

"I was scared..." His voice was clear, a lot of emotion but it hid in his voice. Suddenly cries and screams could be heard distant but they were there.

"I was stupid..." A window fades open behind Nick. A young, 13 year old Nick is lying on his bed, staring at the stars out his window. He looks over to the door where light peeks into his room from the small space under his door. He gets up from his bed and walks to his door, slowly grabbing the knob and opening his door to peek out it.

"I loved my mother and but my step dad..." Nick leaves his room and runs to the master bedroom and reaches under the bed.

"I hated him...I'm not just saying I hated him...I mean I really hated him"

Nick's voice still sensitive and clear.

"So i grabbed that bastard's gun..."

Young Nick pulls out a shotgun, loaded and ready. He stands up and holds the gun as he walks out of the room. Both arms shaking, no tears but sweat pouring down his face.

"I was tired of the cries, the bruises and tired of seeing my mother upset"

Nick holds the gun and aims it at his step-father; His step-father looks at him and smiles, clearly drunk he stumbles toward him.

"What you're going to shoot me?...you wanna became some man..huh boy!?" The step-father mumbles in the drunken Tru Bon accent.

"Do it...you shoot that gun and become a man..." The mother is quiet, drugged up as always, rubbing her nose from the coke she previously just did. Nick places his index finger on the trigger and gently presses against it, no pulling it not out of fear or what the out come might be...he didn't have a clear reason why he didn't pull the trigger.

"Thought so...You're no man, you're a little bitch!"

The step-father back hands Nick across the face, forcing Nick to squeeze the trigger causing the step-dad to fly back, hitting the wall dying as soon as the bullets hit him. Nick aimed the gun low and let the shock sink it.

"Nothing ran through my mind, not a single thought...not a single feeling expressed itself"

The mother gets up and looks at Nick, in horror. She quickly slaps him in the face, causing his lip to bleed. She slaps his again, Nick steps back and trips over some fallen furniture; he pulls the trigger by accident and shoots his mother, killing her on contact.

"I stood there...quiet, upset and sad. My mother, the only person I cared for, gone and by my own hand. Ironic I guess"

A tear rolls down Nicks' face and young Nick's face, both upset. Young Nick opens the door, still holding the gun, He looked at the stars and then at the road just up ahead and started to run.

"Nick..."

It was Abby's voice, distance but it became louder, it broke all the darkness around him and nothing but light filled the area and Nick smiled.

"Nick!"

Nick opened his eyes. First thing he saw was the stars, fake glow in the dark stars that is. Abby leaned over and Nick saw her and smiled.

"Abby?...Is that you?" Nick's mumbled, Abby looked down at him, James walks up with his arms crossed.

"Nick, you okay?" You couldn't hear the concern in James voice but it was there.

"Where am I?" He slowly sat up, James helps him up by pulling his body up.

"We brought you back to the Hide-out" Abby tells him as Blake walked up and leaned against the door way.

"Beegk?!" Nick said looking at Blake, Blake sighs.

"It's Blake" Abby hides her smile and laugh.

"What time is it?" Abby looks at her watch

"About 7:00 PM, why?"

"I promised Shawn I meet him at some warehouse"

"What?" Abby said as her eyes looked at Nick then James. James stared at Nick as he tried to keep his balance.

"So you agreed to meet Shawn at some warehouse that you've never been to?...Sounds like he wants to kill you"

"I've known Shawn since I was a kid, He won't hurt me"

Nick grabbed a pair of scooter keys from the table, James walked up.

"I'm coming with you" James said as he stood before Nick. Nick stared at James.

"He hates you remember?, whatever he wants to talk to me about; He wants it to do it alone"

"I wasn't asking!"

"Neither am i!...James if i felt like i needed protection or some kind of body guard then i'd ask you. I know you still feel guilty for earlier and you think being around me will solve that but it won't...I'm asking you to stay here and if you come along then i'll have no choice but to react"

"You saying you would kill me?"

"If you followed then i'd have no choice" Neither broke eye contact. James looks away and takes a step to the side.

"Thank you"

James walked off showing Nick he was pissed. Nick ignores him and leaves, closing the door behind him. Abby and Blake take a seat, Abby looks at Blake, as tears roll down his face. Abby raises an eyebrow.

"Are you crying?"

Blake wipes the tears away

"I'm thinking about the season finale of Heroes and Villains...Why did he have to go to hell?"

"Wow, It says he's in hell?" Abby asks, Blake's voice sounded like a crying mother

"Well it says he's in heaven but he did kill people when he was a reaper so no matter what he's burning for that"

"You're an idiot"

"Yeah, You're a Twilight fan! that's worse" Abby looks at Blake with a serious face.



-Moments Later-



Nick pulls up to the warehouse on Blake's scooter.

"Nick, wanna meet at a spooky warehouse?...Okay, Shawn...Sounds like fun. I'm an idiot"

He says as he gets out off the scooter, he takes the flashlight out and turns it on as he begins to looks around.

"Shawn? I swear if you jump out i'm going to tell everyone about what you did you me when we were both 12..."

Nick yells as he walks toward the warehouse, as he spots lights from inside. He puts the flashlight in his mouth while he grips the handles of the warehouse door and pulls it up. He takes the flashlight out and looks around

"Nick, is that you?"

Shawn walks up; Nick puts the flashlight on him

"Yeah, so why did you want me here for?"

Shawn smiles.

"Can you close that door please?"

"Do i need to?" Nick asks as Shawn nods, not speaking. He turns the flashlight off and closes the sliding door. He turns around and looks back at Shawn. He at a table, taking his shirt off.

"Einstein believed in a cure for the vampires...believed to have created the cure, he dies but they would have you believe it was because he had internal bleeding caused by the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm"

"What?"

Nick begins to walk toward Shawn.

"Stop!" Shawn yells from the top of his voice. Nick stop, nothing moving a single muscle. Shawn can't see what Shawn was doing from where he stood.

"Where's James? Nick"

"I'm not sure, we had an argument and I haven't seen him since...Is this why I'm here, to talk about James?"

Nick lies, hoping it would snap Shawn out of his current state of mind, Shawn scoffs.

"As much as I hate James, I never took my sight off what really matters...the removal of vampires"

Nick could see James attaching something to his arms

"What are you doing?"

"I mean, Killing innocent people is sad but i tried my best to have the finger pointed at James but you know how hard it is getting someone caught?"

Nick didn't understand what Shawn was talking about

"Shawn, what are you saying?"

Shawn smiles as he looks up toward the ceiling, letting his arms down, Nick saw at two large blades attached to his arms

"What are you doing with those?" Nick was scared as he started to step back.

"These...these were little gift from someone you might know" The blade quickly eject out. Nick walks back into the large metal door, slamming against it.

"They're like fangs...so sharp and perfect" Shawn faced Nick as he began to walk toward him; Nick had the knife Blake gave him in his pocket which started to feel unconformable

"Shawn, did you kill all those innocent people?"

"Yes...but there was a main focus to it...Since the world accepted vampires, nobody cares that they're killing innocent people or how fast their population is growing. All they care about is fixing the economy and trying to lose all that weight. Well I'm tired of it!"



--Meanwhile--



James sits on the couch, waiting. Impatient not liking Nick's plan when Blake takes a seat. time from time looking at James.

"What?"

"Uh..what was it like...when you were human?"

James looked at Blake, going back several years after James returned from Zamxus' training. They sat at a table in Cluckin-Good Time. Nick is abit young but James is the same age.

"Do you remember what it was like to be human?

"I don't remember"

James lies, He remembered his human life clearly, and he hated the fact that he did. James smiles, throwing Nick off

"Ever wish you were human?" Nick asks

"If I was human...I wouldn't be that happy" James finishes with a sip of his Midnight Moon

"Okay, then let me ask you...Ever think about becoming a vampire?"

Nick thinks about it

"Once...But I knew without death, then God's plan for us...I guess it never ends"

"Vampires can die...you'd be surprise how many Vampires believe in god"

"Ever wonder why you were born, why you exist in this rotten planet?"

James lost his fake smile, he became serious

"I use to...then I met you, I'm not trying to sound homosexual or anything like that but...Nick, you're the reason I believe in an afterlife, You're the reason I continue to protect you, in other words you're the reason I still exist"

Nick stares at James, he gently smiles

"Dude, that was kinda gay"

James rolls his eyes

"But seriously, Thanks man"

Nick takes a sip from his drink, James stares at Nick

"What I get no serious moment from you?"

James asks Nick, Nick shrugs

"I'll give you one when I'm dying"

"Fine, it better be emotional"

"I think I'll get you to cry"

"Good luck!"

James and Nick joked. Suddenly James snaps out of it, he jumps up.

"James!, What's wrong?"

"Nick!...I need to find him!"

"Wait then, we'll load up!" Abby told James, Blake and Abby stood up, in that brief moment, James was gone.



--Meanwhile, Back at the Warehouse--



Nick and Shawn started to circle around.

"I'm tired of vampires, Nick...It's only a matter of time before you become one and I won't let that happen!"

Shawn runs at Nick, Nick takes the knife out and ducks under the large blade and turns to face Shawn again.

"Shawn!" The lights flicker on and off, they remain off for a brief moment, the only thing heard was the piercing noise of a blade entering a body, the blood gushing out

Episode 12: Demon (Part 3)



Abby and Blake share a scoot as they speed down the road, Abby sits in the side car while Blake drives, she's not to happy about sitting in the side car.

"Why in the hell did god create Vampires?" Blake asks, Abby doesn't look at Blake.

"God didn't create vampires" Blake looks at her then back at the road.

"Then who did?"

"I don't know, some demon...why are we talking about this?"

"I'm just saying, if vampires never exist we still have..." Blake says but Abby knew the rest. She quickly interrupts.

"Don't...I'm not in the mood to talk about this"

"We still have our parents"

Abby was quiet, accepting the fact he would be right.

"Our folks were smart hunting those demons"

"But it was their demons they couldn't hunt" Abby silently says



-9 years ago-



Blake, 5 and Abby, 4 held cardboard swords wrapped in aluminum foal, Blake strikes Abby but Abby blocks

"I's think the forces is weaks with yous" Blake's said in his kindergarten voice, Abby strikes him but he blocks.

"We're not playing stars wars again, Blakey, I wanna play Peter Pan"

"I swears you like any movie with a cute boy"

"So do you" Abby replies, Blake is caught off guard

"Are you calling me queer?"

"Your queer for Luke skywalker!"

"Your queer for Peter Pan!"

Suddenly Blake's father and mother walk out from their home and Blake runs up to them, Abby's parents walk out from Blake's home and Abby runs to them.

"What are you guys playing?" Blake's mother asks, Blake quickly speaks before Abby.

"Stars wars"

"No, Peter Pan!" Abby yells back, their parents laugh

"Well we're gonna continue to talk okay, Just don't get hurt" Abby's father tells the children when a pair of light hit their home, 2 old automobiles cars pull up, Cars from the 1950's, Black with chrome on the outlines of the car, The parents looked at each other. All knew who is was but it was to late to get their weapons.

"Blake, Abby get in the home, Code: Black" Blake's dad quickly commands the kids, Blake and Abby didn't know what to do

"Remember what we practiced" Abby's father told them, They nod and run off into Blake's house then into Blake's room. In his closet, Blake threw all the closes out, revealing a small handle. He pulled it up and Abby jumps down first. A small room, big enough to fit 5 people. Blake quickly grabs some clothes and places them over the hatch entrance and handle as he closes it down. They wait in the hatch while their parents confronted the people getting out from the cars. These men wore nice clothing, all in black suit. There had to be at least 10 men out on the front lawn. The parents were outnumbered, what other options did they have left?

"Your debt hasn't been paid" One man said, his face hidden in the darkness.

"It was our understanding that we were given 2 weeks, It's been 1" Blake's mother said with no fear but anger in her voice.

"He's tired of waiting..."

In the car, another 5 year old child sat, he opened the car door and sneaks out. He sneaks into the back of Blake's home. He looks around revealing it to be David.

"Tell Vampiri that we'll give him what he wants soon, we just need time" Abby's father explained

"Vampiri is tired of waiting, He wants your blood on our mouths, Boys...Kill them!"

Guns cocking was all that was heard. Blake's parents held each other while Abby's parents did the same. David hears and peeks out the window as they begin to shoot. Killing Blake and Abby's parents, David ducks, putting his head between his knees. Suddenly it comes to a stop.

"Boys, you can feed"

The leader walked into the home, He sees David, hiding in fear. He walks up to him, revealing he's an Asian vampire, Face is creepier than a normal vampire. Fangs are longer, eyes seem blacker and he's presences was a sin. He walks up to David with a smile.

"Child...don't make this harder than it has to be" David looks up at the vampire and crawls back

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" David spoke pretty decent for a 5 year old. "Your father has requested that i put you down...like the dog you humans are"

"Father? I have no father!"

"Enough games!" The vampire lunges at David but David jerks out of the way.

"If you make this harder than it has to be then...i'll find your brother and i'll slowly make him bleed as the life pours out of him"

"I have a brother!" David wanted to believe it but he couldn't trust this vampire. He steps back as the vampire stepped toward him.

"Yes and if you come with me, I'll take you to him"

"No!, Stay away!" David threw a lamp at the vampire, he quickly moves out of the way but it doesn't crash.

"Have a nice trip!"

Abby kicked the back of the vampire's legs while Blake, who caught the lamp hits it cross the vampire's head.

"Come on!"

David, Blake and Abby ran for their lives out through the back door of their home, pass the broken fence and into the forest.



-4 Years Later-



Blake, who's now 10, Abby, 9 and David, 10 as well walk down a quiet road. There's rarely any light and from the street poles and there's no sign of life for miles.

"What's wrong with this picture?" David asks, Blake looks around

"You mean walking alone in darkness? because i'm use to that by now"

"Do you guys hear that?" Abby asks as they all stop to hear a small noise grow louder and louder. They run over as the noise grows louder and louder. They turn the corner and see a live concert in action. They look at each other as the band begins to play.

"Woah!, our first concert...Who's playing?"

Blake asks, Abby points to a large banner above the stage.

"Cradleman, the First Full Vampire Band" Blake says "Kinda catchy"

"Blake, this concert is full of vampires" David infroms Blake, it clicks in his head. People stare at them as they pass by these young humans.

"We need to get far from here as possible" Abby says, stepping back. Blake and David steps back when a group of vampires stands in their way.

"Where are you warm bloods going?"

"What's it to you?" Blake bravely says, reaching into his pocket, David did the same.

"Because I could use a snack, we all could"

"Yeah, Snack on this!"

Blake pulls a taser out and hits the vampire's chest with it, David did the same. They laugh as they get shocked, feeling no pain from it

"3..2..1"

David counts down, suddenly two from the group of 5 stop laughing, Their faces grew fearful as they step back.

"This isn't your stranded taser...let's just say the electric shock carries small amounts of...silver"

David says, smiling also using his first product in action, Abby took out her pepper spray full old film reel pieces, The projection old films used was made from silver. All the vampires scream in pain as David, Blake and Abby run off.

"I officially hate rock music!" Abby says running off



-2 years Later-



"Abby, I was wondering if...um..Well...I like you?"

David, 12 says into a mirror wearing his best suit which hardly fit him.

"Really?" David smiles "Wow, I didn't know you felt the same"

David smile goes away, he looks down and retries it

"Abby I was wondering if you felt the same...Oh..Yeah, I understand...It's cool" David plays both events in his head "I'm nervous either way"

David left the mirror and walked out his room and walked straight up to Abby, 11 as she puts a book down, Blake, 12 sat on the couch in their new Hide-out.

"Abby.." Abby looks over at David

"Yes?" She innocently says

"I was wondering if you...liked...liked books?"

David nervously changed the subject, Abby shrugs

"I've read better ones I mean I'm waiting for a good book to come along"

"Why do you like them so much?"

David asks, uncontrollable now

"I don't know, I like the feeling of leaving the world your in and traveling through a fictional one plus our parents told us to read"

David looks over at Blake, also reading a book

"What are you reading, Blake?"

"The Chosen..."

"Is it good?"

Blake looks over the couch at David

"The idea of Egyptian monster coming to kick ass and build things...is awesome!"

"Good...that's good...well, I..."

David just walks off.



-Present-


"We've been through some tough times together, From our parents to David liking you, to meeting James" Blake sums things up, Abby quickly looks at Blake.

"What?, David likes me?" Her tone raised as David's scooter pulled up next to them

"I'm here!, Hey Abby" David says, Abby nods. Blake smiles, knowing he let it slip. The ride now became awkward.


-The Midnight Moon-

[Nickpick]

The Midnight Moon
Episode 13: Devil (Part 4)


The light flickers on and finally stays on, Nick is in shock as he realizes he stabbed Shawn in the chest. Shawn yells in pain. Nick steps back and lets go of the knife.

"You bastard!" He screams as he grips the knife and pulls it out, he's breathing heavy as he gives Nick the nastiest look. Shawn throws the knife aside, to far for Nick to get it back.

"Shawn, please..." Nick tried to help his friend. He slashes toward him, Nick quickly steps back and falls to the ground. Nick holds his hands out, begging Shawn to stop but Shawn slashes again and slices both Nick's palms.

"Agh" Nick looks down at his palms as they begin to heal, Nick looks up at Shawn, Shawn is in shock and disgust.

"What are you?" He slashes at Nick, cutting his arm. Nick quickly gets up and runs off. Shawn chases after him as Nick throws the wooden table on the floor but Shawn puts his blades out and breaks through the center of the table. Shawn chases him while swinging the blades around but Shawn gets to close and cuts several barrels filled with gasoline. Nick reaches an exit in the far back but it's locked, Nick turns around and quickly dodges without thinking, Shawn's blade pierces the wall inches away from his face.

"When i begged you to not be friends with that MONSTER! you just ignored me, you blew it off and abandoned me. Now your some freak and all those freak deserve to burn"

Suddenly the flickering light burst and small pieces of hot lightbulb land in the leaking gasoline and it quickly ignites. Filling the whole warehouse in fire. Shawn threw his arm back with the blades still attached to his arm.

"Goodbye Nicholas"

Nick closed his eyes when suddenly James comes bursting through the warehouse. Shawn looks over at him and tightens his jaw as his eyebrows come down and his face shows his anger.

"JAMES!!"

There's a huge explosions that throws everyone across the room. Nick opens his eyes as sees a piece of the ceiling breaking and finally coming down toward him. He covers his face as James quickly gets up and stands over Nick, protecting him as it hits James, James throws it off him. Nick opens his eyes and sees James standing over him.

"Thanks"

"No problem"

Nick saw Shawn behind James, coming at them with both blades reached out as he ran toward James.

"NO!"

Nick pushed James out of the way and Shawn's blade pierces Nick's chest. James watched in horror.

"NICK!" James yelled as he got up and in a blur, he was at Shawn's neck. He threw him back which caused the blades to come out of Nick's chest. Nick fell but James caught him.

"What aren't you healing? Nick..." James said looking down at his dying friend. Nick smiled as he stared at James.

"Vampires do...cry" James started to get angry as he laid Nick on the ground and stood up and in another flash, he held Shawn down on the ground. Eyes black and Fangs out. He bites Shawn's neck and begins to drink his blood as Shawn yelled in pain. James releases him and gasps for air as he leaves a bleeding Shawn on the ground.

"Feel the sting b*tch" James stands up, eyes return to normal and fangs retract. James is at Nick's side in a split second, holding him.

"Kiss me..." Nick weakly but jokingly says, ending with a short laugh, James doesn't smile.

"Shut up"

Nick removes his hands from his wound, he touches James cheek and his arm against the ground.

"I promised you...a moment..." a weak Nick says as he barely keeps his eyes open, a tear escapes from Nick.

"I killed the...my parents than i ran away...that's when..i met you. You wanted to know the truth..."

James finally knew the truth and yet he didn't want to know it. He looked at Nick. "Stop talking...please" Nick closed his eyes.

"Listen, Nick...I can save you...please, let me do it" James says as he shook his friend, Nick opened his eyes and he looked at James.

"you want to turn me don't you?" Nick smiles a weak smile as his eyes began to close again. James stared down at him

"Do..it" Nick said as he final gave his last breath when James eyes turn black, he quickly bits his own wrist and presses it against Nick's mouth. Suddenly there's a large burst of light between James wrist and Nick's mouth. Both yelled from the pain as the light died and James fell to the ground, both not moving.

"James?...NICK!, OH MY GOD!" Abby ran at them along with Blake, searching around with his sling-shot in hand.David ran up to Nick.

"Abby, Call the police now" She started to cry, she runs off to call the police, Blake walks up when David rolls his sleeves up

"Blake, go help Abby"

Blake stands there for a moment.

"GO!"

Blake walked off, David looks at Nick

"I can do this..."

He places his hands on Nick and closes his eyes as a small light begins to fill the room.





--3 days later--




Nick opens his eyes and starts coughing.

"Woah..calm down kid" Nick looked over at James was sitting by his side.

"Your..okay" Nick weakly said, James smiled.

"Of course i'm okay" Nick smiled, Nick seems healthy and healed. Nick saw the open window with the sun shining down on James.

"The sun!"

James smiled as Nick panicked. "How are you in the sun?"

"Yeah, that's kinda hard to explain. I woke up like this 2 days ago and I've kinda gotten use to it. Something happened 3 days ago that changed me"

Nick sees James smile, he wasn't use to seeing James smile unless he was feeding but this was pure happiness so it made Nick smile then his smile fades as panic spreads across his face.

"What happened?...Did I turn?"

James looks at him, his smiles goes away

"No, when Abby and Blake brought us, Abby said your wounds were healed, Blake even read your blood test. You're normal"

"Normal?"

"How boring" Jame said, Nick smiled as he caught up with his breath.

"What's with the long face? You're still you"

Nick looks at James "I don't know, I was kinda looking forward to being like you..."

Nick says, James smiles

"You don't need a pair of teeth to prove we're friends...we're brothers until we die...better not forget that"

Nick smiles

"Brothers, I like that"

James remembers something; He stands up and stares out the window. He looks back at Nick.

"2 days ago when I woke up, I searched for Shawn's body but...I didn't find it"

Nick nods, upset but he gets over it. "We'll find him...I promise"

"It's best if you make the promise...you'll be able to keep it, unlike me" James smiles, Nick laughs.

"Well what do we have here?" Nick looks over, at the door is Blake and Abby, Blake held the balloons while Abby held a bag of fresh clothes and a tray of food.

"Hey guys"

"Brought you some food and fresh pair of clothes"

"Thanks"

"How you feeling?" Blake asked as he took a seat with Abby.

"My voice is kinda itchy but other than that...i feel great. Where's David?"

"He couldn't make it but he'll be at the Hide-Out where you can stay as long as you want"

"Thanks"

"So i'm i going to be the one to say it?" Blake asks "What do we do from here?" James sighs and looks at Blake.

"I guess we're going to Texas"

"The Church of V...You really want to do this?" Nick asks, James nods

"And let Zane become a King, he gives vampires and crazy people a terrible name"

"I thought you said the Kings were in Italy?"

Nick said, James smiles.

"Twilight was on my mind, nobody knows the real location of all the Kings but they're out there and if Zane is commited to this as we can assume he is...he'll find them all which is why we need to stop him"

Nick smiles, James looks at Nick.

"What?"

"I'm not sure if i can get use to this heroic side of you"

Blake and Abby laugh while James rolls his eyes. Nick smiles as they're conversation became quiet.

"Some on us travel through life without family, friends or even a calling. A lot of the times we travel alone fighting in a world we don't understand. Some of us find God, a good job and others find blood and some of us find a meaning...we find that inspiration to continue to fighting..."

David is in his apartment, shirtless as he is surrounded with gym equipment. He's about to start working out when his phone rings. He stops and walks up to his phone on the table and answers it,

"Hello?"

"David, its Blake...Listen, I know you have your eyes on Abby and I just wanted to say...I wasn't cool with the idea because well she's my partner and..."

"Blake, if you like her than..."

"Like Abby?...David, If you knew anything of me and Abby's past then you'll know she's like a sister to me"

David chuckles

"I always thought there was some tension between you two so that's why I never felt confident"

"Abby...She's a sweet girl, If you understand her then she can be pretty easy to get along with, But Abby looks at me like a older brother and I respect that besides I'm not ready for girls. I have a job to stick to so if you want to ask her out then it's cool with me, she really needs to be happy...you can make her happy""

"Blake, Thanks...I needed to hear that from you" Blake smiles, David smiles.

"Thanks bro...Listen, I'm abit busy but I'll come over later"

"Okay, Cool"

"Yeah, there's little project I need help with"

David says in a sly tone, looking down at his table, He hangs up and continues to smile.

"Some of us find the meaning to life"

David looks down at a book on the table, the page he has opened shows several drawings and the text is in another language but the sketching are of Nick and David's birthmark. David looks down a another sketching of a two men that dates back centuries ago, one is David and the other is Nick. David smiles as he walks off.

"Some of us find....The Midnight Moon"


-To Be Continued-


"Wait...Is this thing on?"

Blake turns the camera on, steadying it. Everyone stands in a group shot

"Blake..Blake!"

"What?"

Abby yelled at Blake, Blake yelled back as he messes with the settings on the camera

"Put it on 10 secs..."

"5 seconds?"

Blake replied, Abby got angry

"no"

"7 seconds"

Blake started to push her buttons

"BLAKE!"

Nick and James stood next to each other for the photo

"Wait, I thought vampires can't see their own reflection" James chuckles

"That's an old wives tale"

The red light begins to blink, Blake runs over to everyone.

"I got it!..Everyone smile"

Abby punches Blake's arm then quickly looks at the camera, Blake holds his arm, Everyone smiles as the camera snaps the pictures, Blake quickly looks at the camera

"Wait...I wasn't looking"

"Who cares, we all looked good"

Everyone walks off, Blake looks down, He smiles then looks up

"Twilight sucks!"
