The Midnight Moon - Season 3

[Nickpick]

The Midnight Moon
Episode 1: Stop And Burn The Roses


The Church doors swing open, standing there is James, Nick, David and Blake. All looked like crap and all felt like it.

"I'll go get some ice"

Nick mutters walking toward a back room. Blake takes a seat in one of the many rows of chairs.

"Thanks"

"It's not for you, it's for me"

Nick opens the door and walks into the kitchen, James walks up to the El Ninos fountain, he stares down at it.

"What's that?"

Blake asks, James looks over as Blake stands up and walks over to it.

"It's called El Ninos, I'm not sure what it does but it suppose to be some holy thing"

Blake stares at it, he pushes it over, letting all the water spread everywhere. James looks over at Blake.

"Holy has gotten me no where"

James quickly grabs Blake by the neck, squeezing down. David looks over.

"HEY!"

"It's the faith i have in knowing someone has a better plan for me...because if there wasn't...i'd be a different, more angrier man"

He releases Blake, Blake takes a seat and crosses his arms.

"Today's my birthday"

Blake mumbles, James walks off and David stares down at Blake.

"Happy Birthday"

Blake ignores him, Blake ignores everyone. Nick walks out with 3 packs. He throws one to David and Blake. They quickly place the ice somewhere it hurts and let the pain ease.

"What do we do now?"

James asks, Nick takes a seat and sighs.

"Well i guess Abby is our only choice"

"I'll call her"

Blake says, standing up and walks off.


-Meanwhile-


Abby is in a small pickup truck, Hands in her lap as she looks over at Shawn who is driving. Abby's phone starts ringing, Shawn quickly grabs it and reads the caller I.D

"Blake"

He looks over at Abby, Abby opens her hand but Shawn doesn't give it to her.

"If you don't answer then he'll start looking for me. I can throw him off"

Shawn stares at her, her eyes don't budge from him.

"If you mention one word of what's going on. I'll rip your pretty face clean off"

Abby takes the phone, ignoring the possibility of that outcome. She answers it

"Hello?"

"Yeah Abby, I'm sorta stuck here with the guys in Texas and we need a lift back home"

"Your with everyone else?"

"Yeah, I met up with them but we had an accident and we're stuck with no car. Any way you can pick us up? It's about a 6 mile drive from where we were suppose to meet at that diner"

"I would but i'm not in Texas anymore, I left back home to Tru Bon"

"Why?"

"I needed to go home, sorry...I needed to check on the flowers, so guess you'll have to hitch another way back"

Blake waits a moment, he looks at the guys then focus back on Abby

"Are the flowers still beautiful?"

He asks, Abby looks over at Shawn

"No, They're ugly as hell"

"I'll be by to get some new one, i promise"

"I know"

Shawn grabs the phone and crushes it in his hands.


-Meanwhile-


Jonathan and Claudia morph back into humans as they approach a car that's turned over. They stare at it and exam it's damage.

"What do you think happened?"

Claudia asks, Jonathan spots the trail of blood leading down the road.

"I'm not sure but i'm sure as hell gonna find out"

They quickly hold hands and run down the road, following the trail.

The Midnight Moon
Episode 2: Loosing Faith


James was staring at the crucifix again, Blake sat two rows behind him, Nick sat with David on the opposite side. James eyes catch something on the floor. He sees it's a crumbled up note. He picks it up, getting Nick's attention. James opens the note up and reads what's inside. His eyes suddenly turn black with rage. Claws eject, ripping the note in pieces. James stands up in a flash, he rushes over to Nick and grabs his neck.

"WHO GAVE YOU THAT NOTE!"

Nick never saw this much rage in James before. Nick couldn't breathe, David tries pushing but James was stiff and couldn't move. Nick held James hand, trying to release himself.

"My...Fath...er"

James drops him to the chair, Nick desperately struggles for air. James does his best to control the rage flowing through him. His eyes return to normal and claws extract back into his hands.

"Who wrote that letter?"

James calmly asked even though it sounded like a threat. Nick looked over at James, angry

"Read the damn name at the bottom, you crazy bloodsucker. It says Nicolai Vampiri"

"THAT'S MY FATHER'S WRITING!!"

Nick was quiet, James takes a deep breath

"Did your father give you that letter or did you find it?"

"I found it"

James smiles, scoffs then walks off

"What?"

"My father nearby, i'm going to find him"

Nick stood up

"THEN WHAT?"

Nick called out, James makes a fist, eyes turn black

"Kill him"

Suddenly James flies back from a powerful blow, James crashes into all the lit candles. Nick rushes to his side and helps him up. David and Blake look over at the entrance where Claudia and Jonathan stand.

"VAMPIRE!"

Jonathan called out, his voice echoed inside the church.



-Meanwhile-


The truck stops, both Shawn and Abby get out, Abby holds her shoulder where the wound is bandaged, Shawn is suddenly behind her, making her she didn't run. They were in the middle of the desert. A cabin was before them. Shawn gave Abby a slight push and they started walking. Abby pushes the small white fence and walks in. Shawn knocks twice on the door then opens it. Abby is first to see what's inside. Old paintings, dust and dirt filled the place. Abby steps inside and at the table, he sat.

"It's been to long"

Zane, He smiled as he stood up. Hair past his shoulders, his clothing muted colors, it was all black. Long coat with a black suit underneath it. Zane walked to her, placing his hand on her face, feeling his cold hand.

"The warmth of a woman...please, sit"

Zane walked back to his seat, Abby took a seat, across the table.

"Shawn, will you mind giving us privacy?"

Shawn left the cabin, Zane smiles

"How did Shawn get into the picture?"

Zane smiled, putting his hands together as if he was praying

"Shawn found me surprisingly enough. He told me of Nick and his gang of misfits. I knew he could serve me well until i eventually kill him"

"Your going to kill him?"

Abby asked, Zane spoke freely with a smile

"Yes, for someone in my position of power, i trust very little people"

"Can't he hear you? don't vampires have super hearing?"

Zane smiled as he stared at her, her beauty drew him in as if she were a vampire.

"There are a rare few vampire with abilities. I am one of those few. I can make people see anything i choose. Like now for example, You, Shawn and Myself appear to be in the middle of nowhere when in fact, your just miles away from Mcdonalds. Right now, I'm choosing Shawn to hear nothing and see only the desert."

"Why tell me this? you know i'll tell my friends everything hear"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to, you see this conversation your having now...will be your last"

Abby looked down, fearing this would happen. He grabbed the metal piece of her necklace and started rubbing it with the index finger and thumb.

"I will get some information from you now then i will kill you but it's not something to get nervous about. I swear to make it as painless as possible"

"What do you want me to thank you for that?"

Zane smiled

"First, tell me what you see when you look at me?"

"All i see, all i feel when i look at you...Death"

Zane looks away, letting the answer travel in him.

"Where are your friends?"

"They're back in Tru Bon"

Zane looked at Abby

"Liar, you wouldn't give up your friends that easy"

Zane in a second is in front of her, sitting on the table. Abby closes her eyes quickly in surprise.

"Where are they?"

Zane gently brushes her face, Abby stares at him.

"I don't know"

Zane smiles, He lets his hand drop

"I'll give you one more chance, lie to me and i'll put you through a world of hell, literally. Now...Where are they?"

Abby looks at her necklace, she sighs, she knew the next part of her plan would be the last words she spoke, she lets a tear escape from her face. She smiles, she looks up at Zane and lets her smile fade. She was going to tell him, Zane was going to kill her and she would die, she accepted that. But it was all part of her plan, now they wouldn't have to find Zane, Zane was coming to them.

"I'm sorry Blake...The Church Of V in Texas"

Zane smiles, he places his hand under her chin. He leans in and gently kiss her lips.

"I'm so sorry"

Zane's claw quickly eject from his hand, he thrusts his hand into Abby's chest. Abby becomes stiff, eyes in shock from the pain.

"Sorry kid, you got caught in the middle"

Zane releases her and she drops to the ground

The Midnight Moon
Episode 3: The Truth...


James kept his ground, he didn't take his eyes off Jonathan, Claudia kept her hand on Jonathan's exposed chest.

"Clam down"

She whispered it him, Jonathan took a deep breath and released it. His shoulder came down, not changing he's large height.

"What's going on?"

Nick asked, walking between James and Jonathan.

"The werewolf here captured me"

Nick looked over at Jonathan, Jonathan at Nick, the edges of Jonathan's mouth curl up.

"It's been awhile...human"

Nick saw the brown eyes, a flash of a wolf hit his memory, he looked away then back at Jonathan.

"Your a werewolf?"

David stood up, fascinated by Jonathan. He started walking towards him.

"Stand back human!"

David steadied each inch and each detail of Jonathan.

"Forgive me, I've never seen a werewolf in person, i mean clearly your in your human form but none the less"

Nick scratched the back of his head, looking over at James.

"James, can we talk?"

"If your going to stop me then your wasting your breath. My father deserves to die"

"Listen, your father reached out to me of all people and said..."

"What's going on?"

Nick looked over at Jonathan, He walked into the church more with Claudia.

"Nothing that involves you"

"Human, you clearly have emotions toward me. Speak them"

Nick was pissed off but he didn't do anything. He made a fist and controlled his anger the best he could.

"I just have a problem with being called 'Human' that's all"

"Well if it helps, you weren't going to be dinner the night we chased you"

"What do you mean?"

Nick wasn't pissed in that split second, he was curious

"Your a Changling, our kind hunts your kind"

"My kind? Changling? what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, don't listen to the dog"

James quickly added, stopping Jonathan from speaking

"Dog?"

Jonathan repeated, Nick looked over at James

"I'm tired of you protecting me James! i'm an adult now so stop standing in my way!"

It was silent, James' fist tight, he looked at Nick then he looked away.

"What you are...is something you don't wish to know"

"I think i deserve to know what i am.

"Guys.."

David said, Nick nor James listened to David.

"Your what vampire's fear and your what werewolves hate..."

Jonathan said, Nick didn't look at Jonathan, He kept his focus on James.

"Why?"

David asks, Jonathan looks over at David

"Tell me, have you ever tasted vampire blood?"

Nick nods, Jonathan smiles

"What did it taste like?"

"I can't describe it..."

Nick said, voice was calm with an edge of anger.

"Your kind is hated because you can heal what we are"

"I don't understand, Nick can heal?"

"Nick's blood is special, if a vampire drinks Nick's blood then he'll turn human same goes for a werewolf but they're known for something else...they're known for their attraction by other"

Silence fills the room, it's quiet.

"So...someone needs to catch me up..."

"Once a Changling opens his heart up, the first pull he draws in is forever in their grips"

"This...whole time!...YOU'VE USED ME!"

"Nick..."

James tries to speak but Nick quickly interrupts

"You've kept this from me! you were protecting me because we were friends, you protected me because your attracted to me!"

"ENOUGH!"

James thunderous voice echoes through the church

"I'm not attracted to you, i'm forced this way...when we were younger, you drew me in...I've tried to escape it but i can't"

David held his laugh in, so did Jonathan

"You don't...love me or anything"

"Just drop it...now!"

Nick smiles, He walks up to James

"I just wanted to know...that's all"

James nods

(I'm sorry this episode took so long, it was from the heart and i knew the pain Blake was feeling and to relate to a fictional character is shocking but i sorta found peace writing this. So i hope you enjoy this episode)

The Midnight Moon
Episode 4: Revenge = Consequence


Nick looks around, He sees David, James and Jonathan and Claudia but Blake is M.I.A, he's gone.

"Guys, where's Blake?"

Blake is on his scooter, eyes narrowed on the road before him, hair dancing in the high wind with no other thoughts but helping Abby as soon as possible. Nick looks over at James, James closes his eyes and looks away.

"I can hear his heartbeat but barely...he's leaving"

"James, i'm gonna need a ride..."

Nick remembers having James carry him, He snaps out of it with a unpleasent smile.

"Second thought...."

He looks over at Jonathan and Claudia, as the idea plays out in Nick's head, he smiles.

"How would you guys like to help me?"

Two werewolves run, Nick holds tightly onto Jonathan with his head down and eyes closed, James runs besides them with David holding onto Claudia, eyes narrowed and angry.

Blake's eyes focus on something in the street, ahead of him. He stops the scooter and gets off, letting the scooter falls on it's side. Blake sees what's ahead of him. It's Abby, her motionless body laid on the ground with her hands on her chest, covering the wound with her eyes closed. Blake let's the tears slide down his cheeks, arms against his side leaving no control in them. He takes one step at a time, approaching Abby's body slowly, letting the affect sink in. He reaches her body, staring down at her, the tears fall and hit Abby's cheek. He drops to his knees, he let's his forehead rest against her's. Nick, Jonathan, Claudia, James and David walk up. Nick places his hand on Blake's shoulder. Blake starts screaming in pain, his screams are inaudible. James looks down, David walks off, dealing with the emotions away from everyone. Jonathan and Claudia look over at each other, they're hands slowly reach out and hold each other.

* * * *

Blake stared at himself in the mirror, he wraps the tie around his neck and starts to put it on. His face showed no happiness, no emotion revealed themselves besides a dull look. Nick walks up, wearing his black suit, he seems worn out. tired and upset.

"How you doing kid?"

Nick puts a fake smile on, Blake's eyes look over at Nick from the mirror

"Don't ask stupid questions"

Nick looks down, realizing it was a stupid question. Nick looks back up at Blake, Nick is reduced to tears.

"Tell me what to do Blake? I can't think straight...i haven't eaten in 4 days. I'm lost, tell me what to do?"

He falls down on the seat and digs his face into his palms. Blake gives up on his tie, he sighs and turns toward Nick.

"You can start by helping me"

Nick looks up at Blake, he smiles with tears in his eyes. He stands and grabs the tie. He starts tying it for Blake. Blake stares at Nick's face, looking at the tears.

"She liked you...alot. She told me you reminded her of Jacob"

"Jacob?"

"That was her father"

Blake smiles, remembering Abby

"Yeah, She's with them now and i guess it's selfish to want her back"

Blake looks at Nick, feelings for him start to grow but Blake looks away. Nick smiles

"All done"

"Thanks"

Blake looks out the window, they were back in Tru Bon.

"Blake, they're waiting for us"

"I know"

"Want me to wait for you?"

"No, go take your seat...i'll be there in a minute"

Nick nods, he leaves the room. Blake stares out the window and sighs, letting a tear roll down his face.

"Abby...If your listening from whenever you are...I can't do this, i can't continue in this world without you...Please..."

Blake wipes his cheek, he walks to the door and grips the doorknob. He takes a deep breath and opens the door, outside everyone stands as the casket is brought down by several men. James walks up to Blake, he jerks his head towards the seat and Blake nods. They walk to the seat, there's not a sound that is heard, Blake doesn't shed anymore tears during the whole funeral. They place the casket down and that's when Blake sees her. Abby standing near the tree far off in the distance. Blake smiles, her hair blows in the wind, she raises her hand and waves at him, Blake gently nods.

"If This Is Life...Why Fear Death?"


The Midnight Moon
Episode 5 - Back To Basics




-1 Month Later-



I don't expect for you to understand this decision...

Nick and James walk down the hall, sync with footsteps and all.

"I'm sure Blake will love this..."

James rolls his eyes as he walks, Nick looks down at the latest issue of Heroes and Villains.

"Can't believe i stopped reading this"

Nick mutters to himself, James moved ahead of Nick and stopped at Blake's new apartment door. After Abby's death, Blake found it hard to sleep and even work in the old hide-out so..he moved. This time into an apartment that wasn't abadoned.

"I hear they're trying to make this series into a movie but the creators is stubborn..."

"Nick!"

Jame shouts, shutting Nick up.

That's why i ask you to don't look for me; for i don't want to be found, I considered Abby my sister, she was my world...now she's gone and i have to fight to stay alive alone. When i'm ready i'll come back but right now...i need time to understand what this life has to offer and don't worry...i don't plan to off myself...no, that's pathetic! Goodbye..for now...Blake

James and Nick stare at the note taped to the door, Nick takes it down and reads it. James glances down at it and looks away.

"He's gone..."

"I'm guessing he didn't say where he's going?"

"No...He's just...gone"

Nick let the note slip out of his grasp, he leans against the wall and accepts the reality of change. James looks over at him, he hears the sudden change of his heartbeat and rise of his blood.

"You alright?"

"First Abby, now Blake...it's just hard to accept right now"

"Blake is strong, he just needs time to accept the fact the only person he considered family is gone. It's like...me losing you, I'd go crazy, probably take a few lifes"

Nick looked up at James, his face almost sad, almost disgusted

"Because your attracted to me"

"That has nothing to do with it!"

James quickly snaps and Nick smiles, focusing back on Blake

"Seriously, i'm not attracted to you...it's just..."

"Your protective...i understand that, doesn't mean i can't mess around with you"

James smiles, Nick looks down at his hands, nervously rubbing one another.

"What do we do now that Blake is gone?"

"We continue...we live our lives and find Zane and end him. If Blake latest discovery was right then he's no longer trying to become king of the vampires..He's planning something big and we need to stop it before..."

"What? What's wrong?"

"I think i know what Zane is planning"

James runs off in a flash, Nick leans against the wall and sighs

"I'll just walk...i guess"

Nick picks the note up and walks off.



-Meanwhile-



David sits on the cold metal bar stool, letting the tail of his white coat hit the floor. He pulls his googles on and takes a deep breath, he reaches over and turned his voice recorder on and placed it on the table.

"My name is David Roth and this is test operation 005 of 006, the final test before i totally give up. I ugh..."

He takes the recorder and rewinds it a couple seconds back and continues to record.

"I'm currently using Marbles, my beloved pet rat"

David unlocks the cage and pulls Marbles out and places him into a plastic box on the table in front of him.

"Okay little guy, you'll feel a small pitch but i'm sure nothing will happen"

David continued to doubt his work. He takes the syringe, inside a maroon liquid. cleaner and lighter than blood. He bites down on the plastic cap on the syringe and pulls it off with his teeth and spits it on the table. He uses one hand to hold Marbles while slowly piercing the needle into the rat with his thumb on his right hand, he slowly injects the liquid into the rat.

"Okay...I've inject the antidote into Marbles at..."

David looks at his watch, pulling his sleeve up.

"1:34 PM, Friday, July..."

He looks over at Marbles, Marbles is lying on his back, not breathing. David stares at the dead rat, he's upset. Not because it failed again but because his pet was dead.

"Marbles, um test subject 005 is deceased. Time of death 1:35 PM"

David sighs, he reaches over and turns the recorder off. He leans his head against his head and looks over at a picture of Blake and Abby.

"You think i'd be use to failure by now. I mean...Nick has some special blood and can heal! he's best friends with a vampire. All i can do is build lousy weapons to protect us. Now your dead and i'm alone...where's my special ability? where's my best friend?"

David looks down at the second syringe of the antidote. He looks away then back at it. He looks over at his wrists where his sleeve is rolled down. He quickly removes his watch and grabs the syringe. He pulls the plastic case of the needle off and stabs it in his left arm and slowly injects it into his arm. He closes his eyes as he feels his heartbeat increase.

"Stupid...stupid stupid!"

He lets the increase of his heartbeat get interupted by his sudden thirst. he tries to control the sudden hunger. He looks over at a scalpel on the table, picks it up and places it on his forearm. He takes a deep breath and start slicing his arm. Blood doesn't pour because the would quickly heal causing David to smile.

"It worked"

"Congratulations"

David quickly turned around with the scalpel in his right hand, he stares at Zane who stands with Shawn. Zane smiles as his hands rest gently as if he's praying, Shawn stands behind him with his arms crossed.

"You've finally created a cure for vampires..."

Zane claps twice, powerful claps that could make your ears bleed. Zane starts to walk closer to David.

"You know Einstein created a cure once, it was destroyed along with his memory of it. Now the vampire law requires death upon those who try to cure us but this...this shall be our secret"

"What do you want?"

"I can feel the hate growing in your blood...it makes me thirsty but i've learned to control my hunger. I need you to do me a favor and in return i shall do you a favor...which shall be i won't kill you"

"I'm not doing a damn thing for you. You took the only person i ever loved away from me. I should be killing you"

"Abby was a beautiful woman, her human stubbornness is what killed her"

"SHUT UP! You have no right! no right to use her name!"

"Enough games"

In a flash Zane had his arms wrapped around David's neck and pinned against the wall, eyes black and fang ejected out.

"If you wish to be with her then give me the word, what i'd give to taste your blood"

"Life has no meaning anymore...you want to kill me then do it! I have nothing worth living for"

Zane smiles, he jerks David's head back by his hair and bites his neck, David lets out a scream of pain as Zane drinks David's blood. Zane releases his bite and opens his eyes. blood covered his mouth. His tounge licked his lips. David was breathing heavy from the pain.

"Why do i continue to breath if your blood carries the cure?"

David is quiet as the bite marks on his neck heal themselves. Zane releases David, Zane picks up David's right hand with the scalpel and uses it to cut his wrist, Zane forces it against David's mouth, resistful at first but he accepts the taste, Shawn just smiles.

"Now, I want you to do something for me"

Zane smiles

The Midnight Moon
Episode 6: Oh The Places We'll Go!


The door flies open, causing dust and dirt to spread into the open air. Standing there is James, Nick walks over as James walks inside the empty apartment. It was Abby's and Blake's hide-out. Everything was left how it was but now filled with dust, various insects and a certain sadness.

"God, i miss this place"

Nick says as he picks up an old photo of Blake and Abby.

"So what are we looking for?"

Nick places the photo down and sees James scanning through an old book. the page old to the point where turning the page would rip it and the hardcover to the book was like holding a wet piece of paper that dried up. James turned each page in lightening fast speed while keeping it intact which amazed Nick.

"Found it"

"What is it?"

"An eclipse, the last to happen was days before i was born. My father..."

James closed his eyes as he spoke, remembering his father was a vile feeling to him.

"He told me how he protected himself against it but they happen every century or so. They're the only real threat against vampires"

"Why?"

"You know how Vampires are immortal by the moon? Well what do you think would happen during an eclipse?"

"Their firebending abilities would turn off?"

"What? no...Well the ultraviolet lights from the sun will break pass the moon and turn millions of vampires into dust. If i'm correct Zane plans on using this eclipse as a way of destroying all the ancients and finally getting exactly what he wants"

"And that is?"

"Power"




-Meanwhile-


He stands on the grassy green hill, as the sun's golden rays shine upon him. Jonathan stands upon the hill as Claudia walks up, grabbing his hand and staring at the sky with him.

"Beautiful isn't it?"

"I've seen more beauty in your smile"

She smiles, gets on her toes and kisses his lips. He kisses back when she leans toward his ear and whispers.

"Ready?"

He smiles when she cocks her fist and throws a punch right at his chest, Jonathan catches it and winks at her. She winks back, getting a grip on his wrists and throwing Jonathan behind her. He lands on the ground, he's fist punches into the ground as he slides back. He stands up and a growl breaks out. Claudia opens her arm, mimicking a huge. Jonathan starts running at her, running became a sprint until he jumps and phases into a werewolf, with her left hand, she combs part of her hair behind her left ear and smiles.

"I can still take you on..."

He growls, She rolls her eyes and smiles, revealing her beautiful teeth

"Fine

Claudia does a front flip and mid-air she phases into a wolf. Both stare at each other, a slow growl from both gets louder and louder then they break eye contact and start running towards each other, they're speed past 180 and reaches up to 200. Moments pass and the two lay on the grass together. Staring at the sky, Claudia has her arm on his chest and head on his arm as she cuddled next to him.

"He's out there isn't he?"

"Joseph is blinded by power and hate...He will search for us and he will find us but we'll be ready and we'll be waiting"

"When i died i saw something which to this day still doesn't make sense"

"What did you see?"

"Fire...It wasn't hell because i wasn't scared or at least i don't think i was. I felt shocked but then i saw you and i felt this rush of happiness but you didn't seem like yourself...you seemed hurt"

"I was...i lost you so many years ago. I dislike remembering those times"

"I know...i just had a quick memory of that which is why i brought it up. I love you"

"I love you"

They share a passionate kiss as the orange and pink sky slowly turns dark as they continue to kiss.




-Meanwhile-


Nick hands James, a rather large book . Nick sighs as he watches James from the doorway of Jame's apartment.

"Explain to me why your going to Seattle again?"

"I can't confirm if Zane is there but he's moving around alot...making sure he's not in one place to long and if he is, he has Shawn to cover his tracks. Seattle is where my father went to hide from the eclipse, plus they also have a Church of V up there with several ancients"

"What makes ancients different from any other vampire?"

"Well they're powerful, smart and i don't know. They're worshipped like gods...Zane is jealous and he wants to be worshipped"

"Gosh..."

Nick sighs, looking away

"Sometimes it feels like we're living some fictional cliche..."

"I'll return in 3 days, i want you nowhere near ancient vampires"

"Why? they will fall in love with me?"

Nick smiles, James gives him the nastiest look

"I don't..."

James lets it go

"No, That's why i've been afraid of having you around... ancients aren't like normal vampires and i cannot protect you around them. They are literally monsters, creatures who won't have mercy, who see the human life as nothing more than a mere joke...i really wish you wouldn't come along"

"Fine...I'll stay but what if Zane comes after me? I've never fought a vampire and my gunskills are...amateur at best"

"Then have David equip you, it'll take me at least an hour to reach you on foot...or you can do my a favor, don't do anything reckless"

"Thanks Edward, wanna kiss me on the forehead and leave me in the forest? i'm sure Jacob would like that"

"I don't get it"

"Nevermind...So 3 days? what am i suppose to do on this end?"

"Just stay alive...that's all"

"I think i can do that"

"Good, I'll return soon..."

He gives Nick a nod that said a thousands words, Nick nods back and he runs off becoming nothing but a blur, the doorslams shut causing a book to fall flat on the floor, Nick looks at it and sees the fine stitch writing 'James'.

"James has a journal?"


-The Midnight Moon-


Just moments ago, police officials found an unidentified young woman, naked and barely breathing. No suspects have been named nor has any evidence been found at this time. The woman is suspected to be around the age of 19, she has long brown hair with green eyes and has a birthmark near her belly button. And again, Police are yet to identify her. If anyone has any information please call 555-Crime. Any help is appreciated.

The Midnight Moon
Episode 7: Destined For Evil

Nick saw the journal smack down on the floor. He stared at it as if a ghost just walked past him. Was it real? He stared at it as he slowly approached it. He reaches out and picked it up from the navy blue carpet. He felt the warmth of the leather jacket of the journal with a fine stitched lettering 'James' reading the front of it. Nick knew if he read it then it would be breaking James trust...but would he ever know? He slowly unwrapped the maroon ribbon from around the journal. The very feeling of breaking his trust made his heart beat faster, blood started to warm up and sweat started to transpire.

"Wait...Should i be doing this? I mean its not like he's telepathic"

He stares at the journal as second thoughts begin to run through his mind. He sighs, breaking his look from the journal.

"Damn it"

BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!!

Nick takes his phone out and sees its a text from David.

"Broken Bridge, ASAP"

Nick closed his phone and let out a short sigh.

"Great, this could only be good"

Ever since Abby's death, David has been depressed. Ignoring reality and focusing on his work. Once a week David would text or call Nick and have him meeet up at this unfinished bridge at the edge of town. David only had two rules when it involved these meetings. The first was no vampires and the second was that someone needed to always bring beers...and plenty of it. James would be around just out of sight. Nick arrived at the bridge in his black motocycle which he got after the destruction of his car in Texas. He cuts the engine and takes his helmet off, resting it upon the seat. The first thing he sees is the 2011 Ford Mustang something that would stand out in a small town. Nick eyes the beauty when he sees David leaning against the grill and hood. Nick sees David staring at the night sky.

"Dave, what's going on?

"Can you ever forgive me?"

"David...What are you talking about? Who's car is this?"

Nick spots the blood stained shirt David wears, suddenly the car door opens and stepping out was Zane.

"I might be the one to ask, running is better but you tend to get dirty and well.."

Nick looks over at Zane, his blood began to boil, his hands turn into fist. Zane closes the car door.

"With the wolves about...once can't be to careful"

"You son of a bitch!!"

Nick rushed at Zane but before he could reach him in the next split second, Shawn appears before Zane and throws Nick back with one push. He flies back and hits the ground, sliding near the edge of the unfinished bridge. Shawn smiles revealing his large fangs and black shark like eyes. Nick rolls away from the edge and get up. He sees Shawn and stares at him in a bad awe. The revelation left him speechless for a moment.

"Shawn?"

Nick saw the black eyes and sharp fangs and the pale skin, tears formed in his eyes but they never escaped.

"I mean James told me...I...You became what you hated"

"And yet i still feel the hate boiling in your blood, Vamp-Lover"

"Shawn enough!"

Nick looks down then quickly at David. Who kept to himself, staring at the nightsky like no one was around.

"David, what is this? What's going on?

"David is doing I a favor...the same favor i ask of you"

"Let me get this straight...you kidnap Abby, kill her then ask me a month later to do you a favor? F**k you!"

Zane begins to walk around Nick, Nick just stared down at his shaking hands. Not scared but sad and angry. Shawn stood there with his arms crossed, waiting for Zane next command.

"Nick, so much hate and yet you use if for all the wrong reasons. You honestly think you can keep a secret from me? I've tasted your blood, i know what you feel and where you are? But i didn't need that in order to know your past is what breeds the hate in you. You killed both your parents including your real father. You and I share more than just stunning good looks but i was never the villain of this story, it's you. Your destined to be what i am"
"You know nothing of destiny!"

Nick shouts, letting the hate take over. Zane stops and smiles.

"STOP!"

David yells as he looks over at Nick and Zane. The tears in his eyes reveal his previous thoughts.

"Nick, Just do it! Can't you see he has the upper hand here...We can kill him later, it doesn't mean he's on our side!"

"Nick, all i ask if that you put our differences aside and help me. I promise not to try anything that might harm you. Just this one thing and i promise after you can plot against me"

Nick stood there, already regretting his decsion in his head. He lets a sigh escape along with one tear and nods. He releases his fist as he picks his head up.

"Fine"

Zane smiles a sucessful smile which caused Shawn to smile with him.

"Great, meet us in 30 minutes at the Tru Bon Hospital"

"What do you want me to do?"

"Kill Someone"

The Midnight Moon
Episode 8: Natural Born Idiots


Nick and Zane stood on the unfinished bridge, Zane felt as if he sucessed in getting Nick's help and David still felt as if they lost.

"What do you want me to do?" Nick asks as Zane opens the passenger door.

"Kill someone" Before Nick could argue against it, Shawn and Zane were in the Ford Mustang and gone. Nick looks over at David, eyes narrowed on him as Nick grabs David's shoulder and turns his body towards Nick. "Kill who? David"

"The woman the police found...she some kind threat or something to Zane"

"Threat?" The only word Nick found interesting in that sentence, yet he still felt the need to yell.

"I don't know, He didn't say much"

"Great, just great...the whole day has just been one huge middle finger to me...Blake leaves, James tries saving the day and now I've joined the devil. What else can
possibly go wrong?"

David looks over at Nick, who's chest is breathing heavy and face is really angry.

"Blake's gone?"



-Blake's Story-



Blake is walking down the busy streets of New York City. He wears a peacoat with a black hoodie underneath. He keeps on of his hands in his pockets as the other holds a bag with several comics in it. he stares up at all the glowing lights and flashy advertisement.

"Excuse me"

The call came from behind him, Blake turned around and sees a young man maybe a year younger than Blake with spiky brown hair and green eyes that were protected by his black rimmed glasses. His clothing is tight white shirt with a black vest over it with navy blue skinny jeans but the only really noticeable element that stood out from this mysterious guy was his dog tag. It was silver with the initials H&V. Heroes and Villains, Blake's favorite comic series. Blake flashes a smile and looks up from the dog tag to his face.

"Um hey, you forgot your receipt" He holds it between his index finger and his middle finger like a cigarette.

"Thanks , I can't enjoy Heroes & Villains unless i have my receipt with me at all times" Blake cracked the joke which lets face it, wasn't funny but the man laughed and
Blake took the receipt and just smiled, a smile that said 'Yeah, I'm a dude and i like dudes...get over it or else' Blake extends his arm to shake the other guy's hand.

"I'm Blake"

"Andrew" He quickly replies as they shake each other's hands until it begins to get awkward just shaking hands until they both release at the same time.

"Well thanks again for bringing me this to me" Blake said raising the receipt in his hands.

"Your welcome...I'll see you for the next issue i guess"

"Yeah" Blake said as the smile slowly fades into a normal look, Andrew randomly nods and slowly steps back "Okay...I guess, I'll cya"

Andrew turns around and walks off, Blake smiles against looking down at the receipt then turning around to continue walking when James is standing inches away from him, startling Blake.

"WHAT THE HELL!!!"

"His blood and heart were pumping faster than normal which means he was nervous or..he likes you? wait...your heart is pumping more than normal also..."

Blake quickly changed the topic "What the hell are you doing here?"

"I needed to ask you a question before i leave to Seattle i needed to know if you found anything on Zane before you came here?"

Blake looked away, thinking about it then his eyes meet James.

"Nothing really that stood out except for a few deaths in Seattle. Police said they were diffidently vampire related"

James seems irritated, he scratches the back of his head.

"That wasn't worth telling me?"

"I shook them off as normal killings...plus i had alot on my mind, you me working when Abby just passed away"

"I apologize for that...i really do but you should of told me that information"

"I messed up, sorry" Blake looked down at the cement, James stared at Blake, feeling bad which wasn't normal.

"Don't worry about it listen i gotta go before the sun rises. New York is known for VGK so be careful ok"

"VGK?" Blake questions, looking back at James. James was already walking off.

"Vampire.Gang.Killings. It's where young vampires kill humans in order to get into Vampire Gangs. It usually happens at midnight so watch yourself"

"Thanks..."

James nods and in a flash, he was gone.



-Back In Tru Bon-



"Someone want to remind me why i haven't killed you both instead of doing this stupid stunt?" Nick questioned aloud in the Ford Mustang with David in the back seat, Shawn in the driver seat and Zane in the passenger seat.

"Because your human...natural born idiots" Zane says staring at the hospital before them as they were in the parking lot facing the building.

"Right" Nick nods "Says the one wearing a leather coat" Zane looks in the rear view mirror, Nick looks out the window, smiling.

"You have 20 minutes" Shawn said as Nick and David stepped out of the car.

"20 minutes...yeah yeah, talk when your the one doing this...wait...why aren't you doing this?"

"Because i needed you two to do this...stop asking questions and get this over with...the sun rises soon" Zane says, leaning over toward the driver window.

"Smell like bull...I just need to say this...Shawn, you sucked as a human and you continue to suck as a vampire"

Shawn opens the car door but Zane grabs Shawn's arm, Shawn just closes the door. Nick and David walk off, Zane smiles

"They'll be yours soon"

Shawn smiles as Nick and David walk toward the hospital.

"Please tell me you have a plan for those two?" David refereed to Shawn and Zane, Nick smiles

"Yeah, I got something"

Nick and David enter the hospital and walk straight up to the nurse's station. David sees a room that is protected by two police officers. David taps Nick's shoulder, trying to get his attention.

"I saw" Nick says under his breath and flashes a big smile at the heavy set black woman at the nurse's station. Nick played it cool well David was sweating bullets.

"Can i help you gentlemen?"

"Yes...My name is...um...Phil Rhino and this is...um..Jack...Frost. Sorry..." Nick looks at the large nurse. "A little light headed, anyways we might be able to identify the girl the police found. We like to see her to make sure"

"Well i'll need you to sign in first. There's a detective here, I'm sure he'd like to talk to you two" She stood up and walked off, David tugged Nick's shirt.

"Stop it...i'll do the talking, just sign in and shut the hell up and stop sweating...you look like you need to go to the bathroom" Nick stood a few steps from David as David looked down at the signing sheet. The nurse and the detective walk out from the room, Nick quickly sees the detective and he feels slightly nervous but it keeps it cool. The Detective walks up to Nick and quickly shakes his hand.

"Detective Johns Burken. You two are?"

"I'm Phil, This is Jack...Don't mind him, Hospital make him shakey"

The detective had hair that looked as if he just got out of bed. It was black and about 2 inches long with a chiseled jaw which had a bad case of 5 o'clock shadow. He wore a long black coat(the kind you see in good detective shows) he looked like a bad private investigator.

"I'm in charge of this case, How do you know the young girl?"

"Well i saw her picture on tv and she looked like my niece...she went missing away back" Nick lied the best he could. The detective nods

"Well this is more than a missing persons case. This girl was almost murdered and by a sick man. She's lucky to be alive because she could of been apart of a much larger case...couple of months ago women have been murdered around Tru Bon. It stopped until last month when a young girl was murdered in texas"

Nick saw a quick flash of Abby, David did too.

"And now this girl is almost killed and left for dead. But she's a fighter...we found her barely breathing but she okay now and talking...she's in the room now begining asked a series of questions. Would you know anyone who could of done this?"

Nick smiled, he found his chance to point the blame on the real killers but he kept his smile a secret and kept his face in serious mode.

"Well i've been out of town but she did mention a Sheen or Shawn...yeah Shawn and another name...something like Zune or Zip...Or Zod, No Zane...Zane and Shawn. She mentioned those names once and awhile"

"Shawn and Zane? Okay" He writes it down in his notepad and closes it

"Can we see her?" Nick asked already knowing the plan was out the window due to her being awake, Detective Johns smiled and nods.

"Yeah sure..follow me"

Jack lead them down the hall to room 1106, he called the officers out and gave Nick and David 5 minutes, closing the door behind him. The two walked deeper into the room when they see her, she's beautiful with tan skin and long beautiful brown and blond hair with green eyes that looked as if they were emeralds. Nick was speechless, stunned by her beauty as she sat in her hospital bed with a cheerful smile with her hands resting in her lap.

"Hi" She said, still smiling. Nick managed a smile, David noticed Nick acting strange and rolled his eyes. David felt the syringe in his pocket, the one he was suppose to inject into her I.V line.

"Who are you two?"

"I'm P...Nick and this is...Who are you?" Nick slowly snapped out of her beauty.

"I'm Sarah, It's nice to meet you" Gosh, she's so cute and cheerful. Nick wanted to put her in his pocket and keep her forever.(Which wasn't weird...right?) Sarah looks over at David.

"I'm David"

"So may i ask a question...How much is he paying you two?"

"Huh?" Nick said with a raised eyebrow, her cuteness vanished and her face seemed annoyed..."You think i'm stupid? I've known Zane for 16 years until he tried to kill me 4 years ago. So how much is he paying you?"

"He isn't" Nick randomly said, there was no plan so might as well stop acting

"So he's hired you tw to do his dirty work?...wow, he's gotten lazy"

"Actually...I'm still alittle hazy on why i'm doing it because me and my friends have been trying to kill him for the last month" Nick explains to Sarah, She nods

"So let me put this in order. you two and your friends have been trying to kill Zane for the two months but he has you trying to kill me? that seems...backwards" Sarah was confused, Nick smiles

"Finally someone understands" Nick kept his smile and never broke eye contact.

"So what do we do now?" Nick shrugs, David is quiet and Sarah bites her lip, waiting for the reply to her question.

"Who are you two?"

"A mystery" David said walking towards the hospital door, gripping the handle.

"Sorry for wasting your time, Nick...let's go"

"Wait! I came to Tru Bon because Zane killed my parents and i've been trying to kill him for the last year...let me come with you" She sat up in her bed, Nick smiles but he needed to be realistic.

"Yes" Nick quickly said

"Wait..Are you serious? We're deranged and weird. Our tactics suck and we don't always get along" David explains, not looking at her but as if he's trying to convince himself of something. She smiles, throwing the blankets off.

"Sounds like a normal day for me...let me get dressed" She jumped out of bed and grabbed a pair of fresh jeans that hung over the chair near her bed.

"Your sure about this?" David asked one more time.

"You guys are my only chance at getting back at Zane. I really need this...please" She looked at David, Nick looked at David too.

"If we don't do this, Zane could use Shawn to get her David...We can also protect her" Nick explained as David stared at Sarah, a quick flash of Abby standing where Sarah was hit David. David looked away then at Nick.

"Get dressed"

David left the room, thinking about Abby and missing her badly.

Episode 9: Those Who Are Dead Are Not Dead


-James Story-

James arrives in Seattle, as it begins to rain, He stares at the alive city with a not to happy face but the edges of his lips begin to curl up into a smile.

"What exactly do you plan on doing?"

James looked to his side and standing there is Abby, she smiling as her hair and long beautiful white dress dances in the wind.

"I don't know but it has to be better than sitting around in Tru Bon, hoping my best friends will be alive when i wake up"

"The lost will only get more lost" James turns his whole body to her. Her smile is gone with a new look of worry and sadness.

"Why have you been...haunting me. Don't get me wrong but...why not Blake or David?"

"Because you won't let me go, they've accepted it even though it might be harder than it looks"

"How do i do that?"

"You must forget those who you hold close"

"I don't understand, What does that mean?" Abby smiles then fades away, James sighs as he looks back at the city when suddenly James takes an attack stance, He turns to all his sides when he's surrounded by 4 vampires. "Come out!"

James forces the words out through his fangs as his eyes turn black. They step out, each one wear a maroon robe with heavy armor underneath it.

"Who are you four?" One steps out already a smile spread across his face.

"We go by many names but we've recently gone by the name The Four Vampires of The Apocalypse" James sees the vampire with a smile. "Loki" James hisses at him as Loki makes himself known. His pitch black hair matches his black eyes, His robe is open where the others weren't. His eyes return to normal, revealing emerald green eyes.

"Hello James"



-Tru Bon-


Nick and David find the back exit of the hospital. Nick opens it and steps out, looking down both exits of the alley way. It's safe!

"We're clear!" David nods, He looks over as Sarah comes turning the corner "Let's go already!" Sarah joins David as they both head out toward Nick.

"Going somewhere?" Nick turns his head when Shawn thrusts as him, wrapping his hands around Nick's neck and presses him up against the wall. Nick struggles for air as this takes place, Detective John walks back into the hospital room and sees it's empty.

"Damn it!" He runs down the hall, back outside David and Sarah run out and sees Shawn choking Nick. "I've been curious to see how you taste...Once your blood touches my tounge i'll forever be in your short life!" Shawn eyes turn black and his fangs eject.

"Hey!" David yells, Shawn looks over at him. David stands his ground, nervously "Don't do that!"

"Shawn, that will be enough!" The voice came from the sky, Shawn looked up as Zane descended from the sky until he's feet touched the ground. He quickly let Nick go, who hurried and sided with David and Sarah, who saw Zane. Her hands ball up into fists as her anger grew. A smile spread across his face when he sees Sarah.

"Hello Sarah" Sarah breaks past David but Nick grabs her wrists and stops her. "Not yet"

"David, you honestly believe you can out smart me? your blood runs in mine. Your apart of me as i'm apart of you"

"Wait?" Nick said as he looked over at his brother "David, he drank your blood? you stupid or something? he knows where you are and what your feeling at all times?" "What do you want me to say? sorry? I was weak and he used me."

"Enough...you prima donnas! and i thought werewolves were bad"

"What did you say you blood sucking bastard?" They all saw the two standing at the other end of the alley, more near David and Nick. It was Jonathan and Claudia. Jonathan wore a white muscle shirt with black cargo shorts while Claudia wore a beautiful dress with a new haircut, it was short, above her ears.

"Jonathan? Claudia? but how did you..." Nick asked but Jonathan smiled "James barely called us but i didn't know you would already be over your head" Nick smiled "Well you know how i role" as they walked up and joined their side.

"You have your dogs....I have mine" Zane snaps his finger and Joseph walks up from around the corner with a cocky ass smile that's more douche than cocky. "Hello Jonathan...Claudia" He removes his glasses and puts them away. "I bet your wondering what's going on well let me catch you up. On my search for you two, i came across a blood sucker's church where Zane was at. He told me his plan, I told him mine and he made me an offer i just couldn't refuse. If i joined his side, he's wipe out all the Alpha Dogs and give me sole power against all wolves. We sealed the deal and watched the church burn to the ground"

Jonathan growls in his chest while Claudia holds his hand. Nick smiles.

"Did you two make out under the stars?" Joseph looks over at Nick, his teeth all sharp as he exposes them and lets out a growl "WHAT DID YOU SAY HUMAN!!??"

"Zane..." Sarah steps forward in front of Nick. "Why did you send these people? why not deal with our problem yourself?" Zane smiled and chuckles "You've hunted me down as I've hunted you and that's the only thing you have to ask me? You simple minded human"

"i had a lot to say to you but as time went on i got along with the thought of just killing you" Zane tightens his jaw, now serious as Sarah slightly smiles.

"You and i both know what your capable of" Police cars speed by but it doesn't affect their conversation. "I knew coming alone wouldn't be smart so i sent these two idiots because you three share a common interest besides all wanting me dead" Sarah's fists begin to glow bright, Nick notices and isn't in shock which he actually hid but he smiled. He stepped up and looked at her.

"Your like me?" Nick stared at her, amazed. "You Changlings are a dying breed and they're dying off fast so i thought 'why not kill three birds with one stone' so i got these morons and had them find you so when you eventually escape, i would simply... eliminate the threat"

"That doesn't answer my question...why didn't you do it yourself?" Sarah started to get pissed "Fine...the truth is i once loved you, i would of gave my life to you and you some how accepted me as a vampire which was stupid to begin with and when i stopped aging at 17 and when you turned 18. I grew jealous, i told my father and he suggested a simple line that I've come to keep to my heart. If you can't beat them...kill em. So i did that...i killed your parents and as i came to kill you, you were gone. So i thought i would wait until the sun rose and i WAS ALMOST KILLED! I felt knowing you'd eventually get the message and you'd return angry as you are now and we'd finally settle the score"

"That's it? seriously? because i grew up and you stopped aging...you killed my parents, you had me running for years. I'm going kill you, you son of a b*tch" Sarah started walking towards Zane, Nick tried to stop her but she pushed him back, he fell back and hit the wall.

"Nick..You okay?" David helped him up, Nick is smiling, excited "Woah" He ran to Sarah and stood in front of her, he grabbed both upper arms, stopping her.

"I won't let you fight him alone" "Then don't!" Both of their eyes locked on each other. A small light began to glow. Zane stared at them with interest as an idea unfolded in his mind. "Well i was wrong..." Zane walked off "Shawn, Joseph...Let's go!"

"You! STOP!" Detective John came out from the back exit. Nick and Sarah continued to stare at each other. David ran up to them.

"I'd hate to be that guy but i think we need to move" Nick and Sarah snapped out of it. A phased Jonathan and Claudia ran up. David, Nick and Sarah quickly get on them and they run off with incredible speed. The detective watches in surprise with a smile on his face.

"That is...awesome"



-Seattle-



James is surrounded by the four vampires as they walk up toward a much larger Church Of V. Loki quickly walks up the steps and faces down on James and the other three. "Our king will be so pleased to see you, pity your tainted" Loki laughed as he reached the large double doors and swings them open. How did Loki know James had tainted blood.

"Master, we've returned with new blood" Loki says as he prides down toward the throne as he starts to make himself home. James sees a man sitting at the large throne, he questions who he's seeing. "Raj?" "What a pleasant surprise" He's Indian, about 6'6 and pretty built with long black hair in a pony tail. A large black coat only a King could wear.

"James, it's been awhile hasn't it?"

"This doesn't make sense...You a king? the fact you know i'm tainted? what's going on here?"

Loki sits on his throne with his feet up, cleaning an apple "Your blood was dropped in El Ninos!" he says the last part in a Mexican voice as he throws the apple at James, who catches it. "Back in Texas...well think of it like a fax machine. All the churches and their kings know your a false vampire" James hisses as he crushes the apple in his hand.

"James, you have much to learn, please come to my chambers" Raj stands and walks off, James follows "Chambers" Loki scuffs and starts laughing

"James...You must forget them"

Abby voice runs through James mind, reminding him once again.

Episode 10: On Thy Bitter Foe

"So how long have you known?" Nick pours Sarah a cup of orange juice in hopes to wake her up to the beautiful morning. "Oh and sorry, i usually don't drink coffee, which is why i don't make it"

"No, it's alright...not much of a coffee drinker myself"

"So how long...have you known...you were....a Changling?" He stumbles with the words almost like they're forbidden. He pours himself some orange juice and than takes a seat across from her as she gathers her words.

"Well that's hard to say...i really knew when Zane tried to kill me and my wounds just healed. I think that sorta gave it away"

"Same for me, I was attacked by.." He stopped, how would it make James look if he said he attacked him and they were still friends? so he lied

"a random vampire and my wounds just healed"

"And you didn't turn? No i think we got some natural resistance against turning"

"And what about becoming a werewolf?" Sarah and Nick both look at Claudia and Jonathan who were sleeping together on the floor of the Hide-Out with blankets over them that cover both of their naked bodies.

"I'm not sure" She looks back at Nick forgetting what they were both staring at.

"Before you say what's on your mind...can i ask you something?" She smiles

"Sure"

"Do you have...powers?" She almost stared laughing, He rolls his eyes and smiles.

"What it was a good question?"

"No i know...it was just how you asked it"

"Sorry, i get nervous around beautiful women, It's just that your fists started to glow and when you pushed me, it felt like your energy traveled through me. I've never felt so alive" She noticed the comment and slightly blushed.

"Well i wouldn't call it 'having powers' One day i just got super mad and my hands started to glow and i felt so powerful. I don't really consider that power"

"You need to teach me that?" Nick said, already excited. She smiled and smacked the cup, it went flying and crashed against the wall. Nick and her stared at each other the whole time.

"How's that?" She smiled, Nick smiled back

"Thats a good starter" Suddenly Jonathan is on his feet, David runs out of the room.

"What's going on?" Jonathan quickly demands to know, forgetting his naked. Nick quickly looks the other way.

"Wow...nothing, we're okay" David walks back into the room, Jonathan looks down and sighs.

"Damn it"



-Seattle-



James sits around in a dark room, nicely made with selves of books that looked pointless. A large marble desk with nothing important on it. James closed his eyes as he grew tired.

"Why don't you rest James?" Abby appeared near a tired James, James to tired to give her his full attention.

"I can't...i don't trust these people"

"James, It must be done, you need to forget those who hold you back"

"What does that actually mean? 'hold me back" what does that mean?"

"This will be my last visit James..."

"So now your leaving? you give me a riddle and leave me? what am i suppose to say to that? Fine leave...See if i care" James looks away when it gets quiet for a moment, James looks over at Abby but she's gone. James sighs.


"Great"

The door swings open and Raj walks in, closing the door behind him.

"Sorry for leaving you in here for so long, things tend to get done slower in the day. So where were we?"

Raj takes a seat across the marble table, James looks at him with a certain amount of confusion and hate.

"How in the hell did you become a king? last time i saw you, you were King Terva's b*tch" Raj stares at James, confused.

"B*tch?" Raj asks, James closes his eyes and shakes his head.

"Sorry...i've spent my time with hu...immature vampires"

"Are these the same immature vampires you had at the Church in Texas? because they didn't look like vampires, they looked like humans and werewolves"

"If you want me to lie and say i don't associate with vampires then i simply won't. Raj, you may be King of Seattle but i don't simply see the point in fearing you. I'm older which makes me stronger and wiser which makes me able to kill you before you let the idea pop up in your mind. If you want to punish me because i broke the law then your wasting your time"

Raj breaks into laughter, he simply can't stop as he laughs.

"Punish you? how kinky. James, I simply just want to ask a couple favors and you can be on your marry way. Gosh! your more hostile than the King of Florida"

"Favors?"

"Yes, I need you to scout the area with Loki and his horsemen. I've been told there are those who plan against their king"

"Why do you need me?"

"Because they are Changlings, poor pathetic breed. They're dying off so they think they can take out a King on his throne"

"Changlings sir? I don't do that anymore" James cringes at the memories of his forbidden past, something he's tired so hard to forget.

"Back when we were Soldiers for King Terva, you killed Changlings like the insects they are. You are best suited for this job" In a blur, Raj is over the table with his hands around James neck.

"You ever speak to me in such a vile tongue. Your in my territory, you shall speak to me like The King i am"

He releases James, James is coughing hard as he stares at Raj in surprise.

"What did you do?" Raj smiles as he walks around the room

"Much like you James...I'm not perfect either"

Raj opens the window revealing the sunlight, James was use to it by now but James knew Raj would burn up and yet nothing happened.

"I've tasted the blood of a Changling much like you and together we've become Daywalkers"

Raj smiles as James is still breathing heavy, accepting the fact, he's no longer the only one.

"James, i like you...we are a new breed of vampire, we hunt no longer in the night but in the day. That kind of power is forbidden and we shall burn if the other Kings ever learn of this"

"Who was the victim?" James asked, anger in his voice made Raj smile

"Calm down, it was a woman who attacked my kingdom. No worries, she's long gone"

"So tell me the truth of why i'm here? I'm not just here to be your perfect little scout, your planning something aren't you?" Raj looks over at James and smiles.

"James...we're much alike..."

"WE'RE NOTHING ALIKE!" there was silence in the room. Raj took a seat and crossed his legs

"I know of Zane's plan. He's coming to kill me and the other kings while does it look like i'm scared?. Bring it on...I could use another laugh but if Zane is planning something than i better be ready"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm creating an army of Daywalkers. Vampires changed the world when they came out, imagine changing the world again with a new breed of Daywalkers. Humans will always be in fear and we would never run out of blood"
"I will have no part in this" James stood up and attempted to walk out the door when Raj chuckled.

"I've given Loki specific orders that if you try to leave to have him kill you the slowest possible way. Loki may not be as strong as you but you got to admit...there's something off about him that even sends shakes down my back"

"You want me to help you create an army? something that'll wipe humans out of this planet which will leave creatures roaming this vile world..."

"THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE...." The two are silent, Raj stands up and walks up to James.

"All i'm asking is that you think about it...If it helps, you can even turn your human friend into one of us if it smooths things over" Raj opens the door "You have 24 hours" Raj walks off as James phone goes off. He takes it out of his pocket and sees it from Nick. He opens it and reads the text. "Zane can now track David and yes, he drank his blood. We need to talk!" David tightens his jaw and closes his eyes as his jaw gets tighter and tighter, letting the stress enter his body until he marches off.



-Tru Bon-



Nick places his phone on the ground. Him, Jonathan, Claudia and Sarah are in the back of the Hide-Out. A large backyard with playground equipment destroyed with only the swings intact. He removes his shirt, ready for his sudden training with Jonathan. He looks over at Claudia, who's sitting on one of the swings with Sarah.

"Good luck" Claudia and Sarah smile causing Nick to suddenly gets nervous. He walks toward Jonathan when Jonathan puts his hand up, Nick stops.

"Let's start with the basics shall we?" Nick nods, Jonathan smiles.

"Good" Jonathan breaks into a sprint toward Nick, Nick puts his fist up. Jonathan throws the first punch, Nick jerks to the side and punches Jonathan's ribs but that was like punching a brick wall. Jonathan brings his elbow down across Nick's face, throwing him on the ground. Nick quickly rolls out of the way of Jonathan's foot stomping down at him. Nick throws himself up and runs at Jonathan, throwing punches right and left but Jonathan blocks them all before finally punching Nick in the chest then uppercutting him. Nick flies back and hits the ground hard.

"Your slow...You need to throw your punches like your punching under water. It needs to be perfect and precise. You punch like a 12 year old girl" Nick gets up and dusts himself off.

"Well i'm fighting a werewolf, so it's not totally fair"

"There's no such thing as fair in a fight. You need to always think ahead while your fighting, let your mind take control and unleash all that anger inside. Round two?" Nick nods. Jonathan smiles and suddenly runs at him again. Nick puts his fists up when Jonathan throws a punch at him, he jerks under the punch and punch Jonathan chest but nothing happened. Jonathan throws his elbow down but Nick remembers and moves away from it but Jonathan comes with the quick punch with his right. Nick steps back and quickly dodges Jonathan's kick, Nick starts to get angry as his fist slowly begin to get bright. Jonathan smiles as he watches

"Now let's do this..." Jonathan throws punch after punch at Nick, Nick blocks them all and with one single punch to the chest, Jonathan goes flying back. Nick runs at Jonathan as he hits the ground. Jonathan gets angry and phases into a wolf. Nick kicks him in the chest which causes Jonathan to smack into a tree. Claudia stands up, worried.

"Nick's not in control anymore..." Claudia looked over at Sarah.

"Can you stop him?" Sarah nods as he closes her eyes and shakes her hands, they begin to glow bright. "Go!" Sarah runs into the field, Nick turns around and sees Sarah. He smiles as he runs at her, he throws a punch but Sarah flips over Nick, Nick turns around when Sarah punches him across the face. Nick falls on the floor, She places her foot on his chest when he throws her back, She jumps down on him, holding him down. Jonathan phases back when Claudia runs up to him with a pair of pants. Jonathan and Claudia look over at Sarah and Nick who are back to normal, both making out heavily.

"I think they'll be fine"

"Me too" Claudia and Jonathan walk off, Nick removes Sarah's shirt and when Sarah pins him down and removes her bra, Nick smiles as they start making out on the dirty ground. Claudia and Jonathan reach the steps when they bump into David, coming down.

"Where Nick...and Sarah?" David asks, Joanthan smiles

"They're getting to know each other in the back" David sighs and walk back up the stairs.



-4 hours later-



Nick steps out of the shower with one towel around his waist and another he uses to dry his hair, finishing round two with Sarah in the shower. Sarah sticks her head out of the shower, Nick looks over with a smile.

"I'll be out in a minute"

"Take your time" Nick leaves the bathroom, he grabs his boxers and slides them on when his phone starts ringing. He sighs as he starts putting his pants on. He quickly buttons it and answers the phone.

"James?" James looks down with the phone to his ear, Nick smiles.

"How's Seattle? It's cold over here, i bet it's raining like a son of a bit..."

"Nick..." Nick stops talking "Listen, there's no other way to say this so i just am but..." James looks over at Raj, Loki who stare and watch James on the phone from their throne with smiles spread across their face. James looks away.

"I've brought you nothing but trouble and pain...I don't deserve to be in your life because the more i'm in it, the more i'll only cause more pain to you"

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying goodbye Nick, this is the last time you'll ever hear from me...Don't look for me because if you do, i'll kill you" the line goes dead, David walks up and sees Nick in shock.

"What's wrong?" the phone drops from Nick's hand and crashes against the floor, breaking it to pieces.

The Midnight Moon
Episode 11: End Of The Road


-1997-

Zamxus grabs James and with a single blow to the chest, James flies back and hits a tree.

"Your mind is else where, you need a steady mind when in combat"

"Sorry"

James gets up, cleaning himself off. Zamxus rubs the bridge of his nose, annoyed

"Your mind is still else where, what is on your mind?"

"Nothing, let's do this..."

"Fine..."

In a flash, Zamxus was behind James, Zamxus kicks James in the back, he flies forward and hits the ground hard.

"If your mind was clear, you would of sensed that...what's on your mind?" James gets up

"It's a human"

"Vampire and human relationships are forbidden. So forget about it"

"It's not a relationship, His name is Nick...He saved me"

"I know, i witnessed"

"Why would he do that? in my hundred years no human has ever protected me. Why would he?" Zamxus sighed in frustration

"Forget about it, it's forbidden...So unless you plan on feasting on him then don't bother wasting your time going back to him"

"Is that all we are good for? we drink from the humans and live these immortal lives?"

"We can't live amongst normal society. This is what it has come down to..."

"I refuse to believe that" James turns around and begins to walks off

"Where are you going?"

"I'm done with this..."




-Now-



"Bow before your King" Raj, Loki and his Horsemen sat around, Raj with smile that matched Loki's. James closed his eyes and bow on one leg.

"My king" Raj laughs as he puts his hands together, Loki stands up and walks over to James, face to face.

"Your aware that if you betray your king...You are to be staked in the heart" James smiles, only pissing Loki off.

"Always been a smooth talker" Loki watches as James walks off

"Where you going?"

"I have another matter to deal with", Back in Tru Bon...

"Nick what happened?"

"Nothing, just drop it"

Nick grabs a grey sweater and zips it up, He walks pass David, David only follows

"Don't lie to me..."

"I think you did enough for the both of us" Nick walks out the front door and slams it shut, David exhales and looks over at the couch to see Jonathan and Claudia sitting, witnessing the whole event.

"What happened?"

"I don't know Claudia...But i'm gonna go find out..."

"I wouldn't...He's pissed off, let him calm down and return home" Jonathan suggests, David puts the scooter keys down and walks to the back room. Nick walks into the parking lot. He's wearing his flip-flops, the worst to wear in the middle of November in Tru Bon. He sucked it up and moved forward.

"Where you off to?"

Nick stops and looks over, he sees Shawn in the parking lot.

"Son of a b*tch...listen, your the last person i want to see right now so go run back to Zane with your trail between your balls"

Nick walks off, a gush of wind hits Nick and Shawn is following him at his side, Shawn grabs Nick by his upper arm, Nick hits it away.

"I heard that call from James, congrats on the loss" Nick throws a punch at him, getting Shawn right in the face, throwing him into a parked car.

"Someone has learned some new skills" Shawn jumps up, he grabs the left-side mirror and breaks it off.

"Your coming with me..." Shawn throws it at Nick, Nick looks up at it but Shawn rushes at Nick and punches him in the face, knocking him out cold. Shawn looks down at him and smiles.

"But first..." Shawn's eyes turn black and fangs pop out. Shawn is at Nick's neck in a second, drinking his tainted blood. Shawn quickly pulls away, his mouth burning but he enjoys the taste.

"I love it"

Jonathan rushes out of the apartment with Claudia, David stands at the doorway and leans against it.

"What's up?"

"Vampire near..." David walks up to the railing of the second floor of the Hide-Out and looks around at the parking lot. No one was to be seen

"Can you smell Nick?"

"He's far..getting farther"

"The vamp is with him"

"Sh*t!!!" David runs back and grabs the keys when Sarah is stepping out of the room, fully dressed.

"David! what's going on?"

"A vampire took Nick"

"What?"

"No time! come on!" David and Sarah run outside where Jonathan and Claudia already phased and run through the forest for no one in the city to see them. Sarah and David get on the scooter, Sarah in the side-cart, It comes to life and David takes off down the street.

"Who took him?"

David didn't answer

"Grab my phone and under contacts, call James then give it to me" Sarah took David's phone and called James. In Seattle, James looked at his phone while he was using it. James sighs and ignores it, continuing his conversation on the phone.

"James, It's David....there's been an accident..." David hangs up and slips the phone into his pocket. Meanwhile far up the road, Jonathan and Claudia were closing in on Shawn as he held an unconscious Nick in his arms. Jonathan jumps out from the forest onto the road.

"I hate animals"

Shawn runs towards the trees and with one slight tug, a tree falls behind Shawn as they continue to run, Jonathan jumps over the falling tree.

"Jonathan..." She spoke in his head which caught him off guard. Jonathan looked over at the forest where a hidden Claudia ran through.

"How is this possible? How can i hear you?" Jonathan's focus shifted from Claudia and Shawn.

"We'll worry about this later, I'm going to tackle him. I need you to distract him and be able to get Nick. Can you do that?"

"I'll try"

Jonathan tried to kick some speed up without Shawn noticing when his eyes randomly shifted at the sky, the sun was beginning to go down, if the sun is down then Shawn would have the upper hand in the darkness. Jonathan lets out a growl that could burst your eardrums, it grabbed Shawn's attention.

"What are you not having fun..." Claudia jumped at Shawn in the middle of his sentence and bite down on his arm which released Nick, Jonathan leaped forward and grabbed Nick by the back of his shirt and stopped running. Claudia continued to bite on Shawn, he screamed in pain when Claudia rips his arm off and spits it out. Shawn falls to the ground while Claudia bites on his other arm and rips it off, Shawn releases a scream that awakens Nick but suddenly Claudia goes flying back, so quick that it didn't give Nick or Jonathan time to process. Jonathan runs over to Claudia and starts licking her. Nick looks over from Claudia to where Shawn laid on the ground, bleeding to death. Zane stood over him, still in his Gothic like clothing.

"That'll be enough"

"Zane...Zane, you need to help me....i...please"

Zane looks down at Shawn in disgust

"You've served your purpose" Zane raises his foot, a small wood spike pops out from the front of his black chucks.

"NO!" Zane foot comes down on Shawn's head which explodes which leads his whole body to burst, spraying blood everywhere. Nick watches, not sadden that his once friend is now dead but still a little in shock from everything that's going on. Zane looks over at Nick and smiles as Joseph walks up and growls at Nick.

"Nicholas Vampiri, this is where our paths end..."

Nick stood up, still drained from Shawn feeding on him as Zane smiled, revealing his fangs, Nick balled his hands into fists and took stance...nervous, scared but in an odd sense....ready.

The Midnight Moon
Episode 12: Fiction

Now I think I understand
How this world can overcome a man
Like a friend we saw it through
In the end I gave my life for you

Gave you all I had to give
Found a place for me to rest my head
While I may be hard to find
Heard there's peace just on the other side

- Avenged Sevenfold


Zane stood there, staring at a weak Nick, Nick stared back as Jonathan looked over at Joseph and growled as Joseph growled back.

"Why don't you just give up? all you humans are so stubborn...filled with nothing but greed and cause nothing but pain. In the end, you don't help your fellow man but kill him and leave him for death. Humans are the real creatures, Us vampires...We're just in the way" Zane smiled.

"That's beautiful, what cereal box did you steal if off?" Zane's smile died, Zane reached behind his back, grabbing something out of Nick's sight.

"I'll miss this cat and mouse game we shared"

"I won't" Suddenly he pulled out a metal handle to a sword with no blade and jerked it causing a long katana to slowly reveal itself from within it. Nick saw his fight with Shawn in the warehouse happen before his eyes. He stole the blades from David but Nick wasn't surprised that Zane might have stolen that from David as well.

"LET'S END THIS!!!" Zane yelled, eyes black and fangs all the way out as he ran at Nick, Nick saw Joseph and Jonathan run into the forest leaving a weak Claudia on the ground. Nick moved to the left where Zane's sword came down to his right. Zane swung, Nick rolled under it, cutting his hair as he ducked. Zane kicked him in the face which threw Nick back on the floor. Zane took a step and raised his sword.

"NICK! USE THIS!!" David yelled, David threw another sword, Zane looked up at David as the blade came flying at Nick. Nick grabbed it and rolled out of the way as David crashed into Zane, throwing David and Sarah in different directions. Nick stood up and ran at Zane, Zane got up as Nick scratches the blade against the road as he runs toward Zane. Zane looks over at Nick at the same moment Nick brings the sword up and cuts Zane from his cheek, up his right eye and past his right eyebrow. Zane holds his face with one hand. Nick goes for the kill but Zane quickly blocks it.

"You'll pay for that"

David rushes over to Sarah as she gets up

"You alright?"

"Yeah, fine"

"Good, can you help Claudia?" Sarah nods, David walks off

"What are you doing?"

"Ending this..."




-Seattle-



Loki stood in the middle of a cold, moist forest. The smell of nature disgusted Loki, he stood there and sighed, Loki takes out a small blade and cuts his wrist, blood spills onto the ground before his right wrist heals. there's a quick movement behind him which makes him smile, revealing his fangs.

"You think killing us would be that easy?" Loki smiled, he quickly removes his sword from it's holster and turned around where another man stood, hair all grey and short. skin was slightly tan with bright blue eyes, his clothing looked as if he was apart of some cult. Grey and Maroon uniform type clothing. Loki clashes with the other man but the man simply holds his palm open as the sword hits against it, no blood or open wounds.

"Zelos"

"I'm guessing you didn't inform your team of our little deal"

"They wouldn't understand"

"What's there to understand? You want your King dead and with your Horsemen in the way, it's kind of impossible"

"I'm dealing with them"

"I'm guessing they're scattered around the forest"

"Nope, behind you" James places a gun against Zelos head

"A human weapon, how adorable"

"Loki, would you like to introduce us?"

"No need to James...I know of you already" Zelos talked with a dark, british accent. Zelos never broke eye contact with Loki as James kept the gun tight against the back of his head.

"How so?"

"I've been keeping watch on your human friend, Nicholas...He's interesting"

"You lay one finger on Nick, so help me i'll..."

"No need for threats, Nicholas is like myself, a rare kind of Changling...Like his mother, she is quite powerful"

"Was...She's dead" James corrects Zelos, Zelos turns around, putting his arm down, Loki puts his blade down toward the ground as Zelos looks over at James. James keeps the gun on him.

"You sure about that?" James got angry and pulled the trigger but the bullet just stops an inch away from Zelos' forehead then it drops to the ground.

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" Zelos snaps his fingers and suddenly a large group of Changling make themselves known, each one holds a horsemen at stake point.

"You vampires are the dying breed, instead of watching you burn, i think i'll wait for the eclipse...that's in 2 months right?" James is speechless, Zelos smiles

"Your deal with Loki is over?" Zelos snaps his fingers again, the other Changling stab the other horsemen, killing them.

"Your not one to be giving orders, goodbye James...We'll meet again before the sky turns black and all the vampires turn to dust" Zelos turns around and looks over at Loki and smiles, patting him on the shoulder.

"By the way...I'd keep an eye on your King...there's something off about him" As he finished the line, quicker than a vampires, within a split second, they were gone. James looked at Loki. His eyes were pure white, under Zelos' control from when they were staring at each other.

"Loki.." James simply says, Loki raises his sword and quickly rushes at James, James uses the gun to block it.

"Loki! Loki! snap out of it!"




-Tru Bon-



Zane and Nick's sword met again and again finally before hitting each other and staying there. Zane smiles as his wound on his face is healed, Nick is still pretty weak and exhausted.

"You don't have long human...your on the edge of falling unconscious again...Why don't you just rest and let me finish you?" Nick pushed Zane back using the sword, Nick's fists started to glow and his eyes started to glow a bright white.

"Finally...Yes!" Zane smiled, excited as Nick ran at him, their speed couldn't be seen with human eyes, they moved all over the place, just a single blur moving before Nick loses his sword but quickly grabs Zane by the neck. He starts squeezing causing Zane to choke, Zane drops his sword and tries to pull away from Nick's grip. Suddenly within the darkness, what looked like glowing bright eyes came 5 figures. All tall with long black leather coats and metal badges on them they read 'Vampire Police' They're glowing eyes turn out to be the glasses they wore, there eyes can't be seen.

"Vampire Police! Don't Move!" the voice came from one of them, Sarah walked up to Nick and whispered in his ears. Nick slowly calmed down and released Zane, who fell to the ground and tried to catch his breath. In a blur, two were behind Zane and arresting him.

"What's going on?" Sarah asked

"We got a call from a vampire named James...He reported Zane here and we moved in"

"What's going to happen to him?" Nick managed to say

"He'll most likely be sent to T.P.V. Texas Prison for Vampires" And before they knew it...they were gone with Zane. Nick smiled and hugged Sarah. David walked over, slightly confused but happy.

"Is it over?"

"For now it is..." Jonathan came from the forest, human form covered in blood but it wasn't his. He walks up to Claudia and kisses her forehead, she opens her eyes and smiles.

"There's my man"

"Here's my woman"

Jonathan sits next to her and lets her lean against him, David hugs Nick as Nick slowly gets over the pain, David releases Nick and walks over to Jonathan and Claudia to tell them the great news. Nick looks over at Sarah and smiles

"Let's go out"

"Now? you should rest, you need that more"

"I don't want to rest, i want to take you out and buy you the most expensive food this town has to offer" Sarah smiled

"You sure?"

"I've never been so sure in my life"

"Okay"

They all headed home which took awhile by foot. Claudia and Jonathan just sat in the shower and let time pass, Sarah wore the only dress Abby had, which made Sarah look so beautiful. David went to his apartment and locked away all his weapons.

"So where do you wanna go eat?" Nick asked as they took Shawn's For Mustang that he left in the parking lot. Jonathan and Claudia stare at each other, Jonathan smiles

"Will you marry me?" Claudia smiles as she hugs Jonathan and starts kissing him

"Of course i will"

James and Loki walked up the steps to the Church, Loki rubbing his head as they walked in to see Raj at his throne with a smile across his face, Sarah and Nick were in the parking lot of the the finest restaurant in Tru Bon when it started to rain.

"Damn, why don't you run inside while i find a parking spot? I don't want you to get wet"

"Hurry" Nick nods as she steps out and hurries inside. Nick begins to drive around, looking for a parking spot. David snaps the lock shot on the large box holding all the weapons. He smiles as he stares at it, he looks over at his watch and smiles

"Happy 17th birthday David" He turns around when he drops to the ground, pain strikes his whole body as stares down at his hands, his nails begin to get longer as he screams in pain towards the ceiling. His eyes begin to slowly turn black and fangs begin to grow as the pain slowly dies away.

"It started with light..."

Nick is walking down the parking lot in the pouring rain, putting the keys in his pocket when a quick movement behind him grabs his attention. He looks around then keeps walking, another movement to his side makes him quicken his pace when there's another in front of him. He stops and feels all the movements around him. He steps back and runs off, they get closer, only mocking him before finally striking, a long scratch across his chest, drops him to his knees then another movement with a strike and cuts him in the back, he drops on his back and screams in pain. Nick isn't healing and he can't move.

"And ends..."

Another attack cuts Nick's throat, Nick holds his throat...He stares at the sky and lets his arms drop. He stops fighting and feels his breathing, it slowly stops, he smile and finally gently closes his eyes and dies.

"In darkness"
