I heard AJ and Nick gasp as I sank my teeth in AJ's wrist, the liquid felt so good and worm, I looked at AJ and his eyes were closed, I continued to drink more, and AJ started to breath faster, I quickly stopped even though I didn't want to but I had to, AJ opened his eyes and had this weird look on his face, my eyes went wide I was surprised

"Why did you stop?" asked AJ

"Um because I didn't want to drain you, and you started breathing faster and for sure I would have taken more than I needed to, and I think you liked it a little too much, AJ smiled and got up, and Nick eyes went wide

"Dude," said Nick

"It was...kind of a rush," said AJ, I just looked at AJ and shook my head, then I noticed Brian looking at a corner and smiling, I got up and felt so much better and walked over to him

"Brian what are you doing?" as I placed a hand on his shoulder, Brian looked at me with a lost look in his eyes and that wasn't good

"Don't you hear it?" asked Brian

"Hear what?"

"The shadows talking," It was differently time to change Brian, but I didn't want to change him in the bus

"Um Brian there isn't any shadows talking to you," I told him

"Yes there is, there right their," said Brian pointing to the spot, as I ran my hands through my hair

"Um so he thinks he hears shadows talking?" asked AJ

"Yeah,"

"Maybe its time to change him," said Nick

"It is time to change him but I really need to do it the hotel room, its better that way," Brian doubled over in pain and fell onto the floor

"Its hurts, do something," said Brian, I ran and got a bag of blood and found his cup and heated it up and ran back to him

"Here Brian drink it," Brian drank it in one gulp and he was ok for now

"Are you still hearing voices?" I asked him trying to help him up

"No I'm not, just leave me here, it doesn't hurt as bad,"

"Should we go in the other room?" asked AJ

"Yeah that would probably be best for now," I told him, and AJ and Nick walked out the room and I closed the door, and laid down with Brian on the floor and rubbed his back and he stared at me and I moved my hand to his hair and put my hand through it

"Close your eyes and try to sleep, it might make you feel better," I whispered to Brian, he just kept staring at me as I kept running my hand through his hair

"That feels good," Brian said in a whisper, I nodded

**************

I quietly opened the door to see what was going on, and AJ was behind me, we saw Howie rubbing Brian's back

"They look at little to comfy," said AJ

"Shhh," I told AJ, and then Howie started putting his hand through Brian's hair, and I gave a look to AJ
"I told you," said AJ in a whisper

"Shhh, I'm sure it’s not like that,"

"Guys I can also hear really well, even if you’re whispering, so please close the door, and no it’s not like that at all," I told them sitting up, Nick's eyes got wide and he quickly shut the door

"We should have known he would have excellent hearing too," I looked at AJ

"Well yeah I guess he would,"

"Yeah"

"But really they looked a little to cozy," said AJ

"Really AJ, your one to talk, you got turned on by Howie feeding on you," AJ got quite and went to his bunk

"Yeah that's what I thought,"  

"Howie wake up, its 6:20," said Brian, shaking me

"Ok I'm awake, I didn't even know I fell asleep," I said looking at Brian as he was starting to look a little pail

"Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Brian, I blinked

"When your about to be changed into a Vampire you start to get paler and almost start looking like a Vampire, and when your changed you are pail for a little bit till you feed, also you must always feed and if you don't feed enough, you will be pail,"

"Oh," said Brian sitting up

"Yeah," as I stayed on the floor, my head started pounding and I was in pain

************

I sat up feeling a little better and looked back to see that Howie looked like he was in pain from what I could tell and then Howie made a weird noise he had his head in hands and moaning in pain

"Howie what's wrong, can I help some how?" as I moved over to him handing him my wrist

"No that isn't it," said Howie moving on his back biting his lip with his eyes closed

"Tell me what's wrong then,"

'Shit this isn't good," said Howie opening his eyes and sitting up

"What happened?"

"She knows and isn't happy with me," said Howie looking at the wall

"Who Leigh?" I asked Howie

"Yes,"

"So why isn't she happy with you, and how does she know?"

"I'm not sure, I guess she can just feel it, and she didn't want me to tell you guys anyway, and she wanted to be there if I ever changed one of you,"
"Oh ok, how long has she been a Vampire anyway?" I asked

"Twelve years,"

"Whoa, wait but how did you have a kid?"

"Vampires can have kids but they come out human, I'm not sure how that happens,"

"Oh, so what did she do to you?"

"Some kind of mind control thing that hurts, only Vampires can do to other Vampires and if we want, we can do it to humans too,"

"Wow,"

"How do you feel now?" asked Howie

"I'm better,"

"Good, lets go in the other room, and see Nick and AJ,"

"Ok"

"Hey guys," said Howie

"Hey," said Nick

"Are you ok now Brian?" asked AJ

"Yeah I think so," as I looked at Howie, he was looking straight ahead and had a weird look in his eyes

"What's wrong with him?" asked AJ

"I don't know, Howie are you ok?" he didn't do anything or move

"Howie what's going on?" asked AJ stepping in front of him

"Leigh might be communicating with him," I told them
"Oh," I saw Howie blink and then he grabbed his head in pain and fell to the floor

"What's happening?" asked Nick, I got down to the floor and tried to help Howie

"I don't know, I think Leigh is doing some kind of mind control thing to him and she's pissed at him,"

"Oh wow,"

"It....feels....like she's crushing....my head," said Howie still holding his head and then Howie relaxed on the floor and was very still

"Is he ok?" asked Nick

"I don't know, Howie what's going on?" I asked Howie, still on the floor with him, his eyes popped open and he slowly sat up

"I think she's done hurting me," said Howie

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I feel really weak again though," I handed him my wrist, and he nodded no

"Did she say anything to you?" I asked Howie

"No," I tried to get up but couldn't she really did a number on me

"Dude just drink from me,"

"I can't Brian you need it," Then Nick knelled down and put his wrist out to me, I looked at him

"Nick no, I already drank from AJ, I can't do it again,"

"You got better after you drank for AJ though,"

"Howie just do it please," said Brian, I looked up at AJ and he nodded too and I looked at Nick and he nodding also

"Please I want to help, if it will make you feel better," said Nick pushing his wrist to my lips, I could smell the fear from him

"Nick if your scared to do this then don't," I told him, His eyes got wide

"I...I'm not scared, just do it,"

"I can smell it Nick," Nick swallowed hard and closed his eyes and he was breathing in and out and I could feel him calming down

"I'm ok now," he said in a whisper, I looked in his eyes that he really wanted to help me out, I placed my hands on his wrist and brought it to my mouth as I felt my fangs come down and I bit into it, as the blood was going down my throat, it felt like I hadn't had blood in days, I closed my eyes, it was wonderful, I got lost in it, then I heard shouting and felt something pulling me, my eyes shot open and Nick looked scared and pail, and Brian was yelling at me to stop and AJ was yelling at Brian, I quickly let go and Nick fainted on the floor, my eyes got wide

"Shit I'm so sorry, I felt like I hadn't had blood in days, I'm sorry," I quickly got to Nick and he was breathing hard and sweating I could hear his heart, it was beating fast but he wasn't dying, he was just really scared, his eyes opened and I place my hand on his forehead to calm him down

"Shhh its ok, I don't mean to I got lost in it," as I rubbed his check, he gave me a weird look and I knew that look, I moved my hand away from his check

"Um what is with all the touching," said Nick then I knew Nick was ok

"Howie what happen?" asked Brian, I looked at Brian and I slowly stood up to make sure I wasn't weak and I wasn't

"Like I said got lost in it, I didn't mean to," and Brian just shook his head at me, I looked down at Nick who was sitting up and I put my hand down and he took it and and I helped him up.
