 The waiting for an answer didn’t help with the boy’s fear, though he wasn’t in the mood to really up and run. He felt like he could barely move and the pain was annoyingly painful. Alex’s eyes went to the door right when he heard the door open. It was a woman who walked in. That was odd, since he was sure that it was a man that approached him. Truthfully he wasn’t sure about that.
‘I had a chance near death apparently…lucky me.’ Alex thought dryly to himself. He felt his body stiffen when she sat on the bed and offered the tray to him. He wasn’t in a good position to feel comfortable. That tray of food wasn’t setting right in his mind either for some reason. Of course reason stepped into his head since drinking and eating something would help his body gain strength.
Alex listened as she talked, though felt confused. “Who are you? You know so much about this..” He murmured after the woman turned his neck. It was weird having someone check a bite mark on his neck. It reminded him of his mother how she would check him for hickeys when he stayed out late. It was good news hearing that the bite mark was healing. One less thing to worry about.
He noticed she got even closer to him while on the bed. Unfortunately he was being moved now being helped by the woman. He flinched when he was sitting up. It was from her touch as well, but she felt her strength he couldn’t move away unless she allowed him. “Can you tell me where I am?” Alex reached over to the tray picking up the orange juice. It didn’t smell any different or look any different from regular orange juice. After speculating it he took a small sip of the juice. It tasted fine to him.

 "Where? Oh! You're at Victor's home. Or as you know him. Mr. Chase." She said and took a cracker for herself eating it carefully. "Unfortunately the attack was due to his carelessness. But I assure you that he didn't do it on purpose." She smiled and ran her long finger nails into Alex's hair, gently combing it out as he drank the juice. "Now it may be shocking to you about what happened last night but it's in your best interest that you don't get up. Your body is far to weak for you to be up and moving around. And at least it's the weekend, so you should just stay here until you're better." She said as he smiled at Alex. The thick curtains off to the left were opened slightly. Outside it was dark, as if it were still night and pouring rain. It was mid afternoon. Victor slowly came up the stairs and looked in, doing a double take when he saw Alex awake. Slowly, he opened the door and stepped in. "Alex..." His voice was soft and his green eyes were worried. Emelia looked at Victor and slowly slipped out from behind Alex and gently set him back on the head board. "Call me if you need me sweetie." She said to Alex before leaving. Victor walked over and sat on the edge of the bed as she did. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was you." he said as he looked at the teen then at his neck, his brown brows slowly furrowing as he looked at the red mark that he had left a few hours earlier.

Thankfully he had already swallowed before she mentioned where he was. ‘Mr. Chase’s house?! That was him that bit me and that was definitely him the other night too.’ Alex’s grip on the cup tightened as if to help calm himself or something. “But he still did it...” Feeling the women’s fingers run through his hair was oddly comforting. The cup of juice was almost gone since he had been drinking a lot of it. “I feel my body and how it isn’t really ready to move. So don’t have to worry about that.” He reached for a cracker to chew on since he did need food.
Alex looked up hearing his name. His body tensed seeing Mr. Chase, but he noticed that he was his usual self. As he noticed the man who entered the room he felt the woman move and lay him against the head board. “Thank you for your help.” He said softly. He quietly wished she wasn’t leaving.
So it didn’t look like he was starring Alex moved his eyes to the glass of juice. He felt the bed’s weight go down so that must mean he sat down on the edge. “But if it was some other poor teen you wouldn’t be as sorry? Why does it make a difference that it was me?” He had the urge to touch that mark on his neck, but he resisted that urge. More than likely that mark would feel weird and just bring made visions back.

"Of course I would be as sorry." Victor said as he looked at Alex. "Because you're my student... and I feel that I should be trying to protect you... not hurting you." He moved closer to the teen and pushed some of his hair off of his neck to look at the mark. "Still too red." he whispered adn leaned in, licking at the red sore spot. "Feel... better... doesn't it?" He asked between licking Alex's neck. He knew it felt better. All vampire's saliva had the ability to heal. Victor placed his lips around the wound and continued to lick it, slowly pulling away. "There... it looks alot better now." He said as he gently wiped away the extra saliva. "Please forgive me Alex. I couldn't help myself, I couldn't control myself." He said as he pulled away from the teen to give him some room.

Alex rubbed the glass as he listened. “That does make sense…a teacher student relationship.” He murmured. He was a bit relaxed, but his body tensed up when his teacher started to lick his neck. He couldn’t really move away since he was already against the head board. There was pain and he expected more, but there wasn’t. Alex blushed lightly as he began to feel better. “Yes..it does, but it doesn’t make sense. You are just licking it.”
Warning signs went off in his head when he felt Mr. Chase’s mouth on the wound. He was sure he would feel teeth again, but he didn’t. ‘Maybe I can really trust him..’ He thought silently to himself. “Thank you for that.” He wasn’t able to see it, but it definitely felt better. “I’m not sure if I really can..this is what the third time you’ve scared me half to death and this time you even bit me, almost killing me. If you are this special creature thing shouldn’t you take care of yourself? I mean like common sense...” He said softly. He wasn’t sure if he was making sense. He was trying to get a word out, but mixing up his thought patterns.
The teen put the empty glass on the tray again and took a cracker. “How long will I be staying here and is my car still at the side of the road?” He asked a bit worried. His camera and cell and everything else important was in that vehicle. Oh his precious camera, he didn’t have it by his side.

Victor nodded slightly. "In... away." He said as he shifted on the bed. "Your car, camera, everything is fine. Your car is in my garage." He said figuring that Alex would be most worried over his camera. He couldn't help looking at the teen's neck. It was smooth, long, and was, from experience, soft. He had to look away from him to avoid the obvious stare. Victor knew that if it was some random person on the street that he attacked... he would have killed them. It was because Alex was his student, that Victor recognized who he was feeding from that he stopped and was able to keep the poor teen alive. For that time being, it was quiet. He could easily hear Emelia down in the kitchen humming as she, no doubtfully, made a pie. She was turned in the fifties and she was practically stuck in the fifties. Her story, unlike Victor's, was very tragic. But never mind that. "Alex... do you believe... in the supernatural? Like, ghosts, demons, werewolves, vampires, incubus... things like that?" He asked the teen as he stared at him. He folded his hands in his lap as he continued to intently stare at the teen. He need to know if Alex would believe him if he told him what he was, since after all... Alex did ask him what he was.

Alex liked that his car and camera were safe in Victor’s garage. It was better than have some person steal the car and everything in it. “Thank you…” He wouldn’t know what he would do without his camera. His car he could always get a new one, but the camera held memories. Not to mention all the pictures he has taken in a couple of days.
He felt eyes on him and knew that it was Mr. Chase’s. He didn’t mind, but it did send some chills up his spine. His fingertips went up to his neck slowly. He wanted to feel what was there. There wasn’t much of a bite mark as he thought. Whatever Mr. Chase did with his saliva was doing a good job. He put his hand down in his lap after he was finished exploring the bite mark.
Noises? Alex wanted to get out of the bed and explore what was going on in the house, but knew he would have to stay in the bed. He wished he didn’t have to. The whole situation was still hard to handle. It took a turn with Mr. Chase’s question. “Well..I..I’ve believed in the possibility that they were here. I have an imagination as you see from my pictures.” He said softly. It was a little uncomfortable having Mr. Chase’s eyes stare into his own. He felt like he was being watched by something else. “Why do you ask me that?”

"Because I want to know what you think before I tell you so you don't think I'm crazy." He said and shifted on the bed. "Alex... there are such things as old wives tale creatures. I'm a vampire Alex. Emelia is a vampire. And there are other creatures at your school. The auto shop teacher? Werewolf. Your English teacher? Nymph. Why do you think she loves animals and nature so much?" He chuckled to himself. He hadn't met any of them, but he could easily smell him. His smiling face turned serious. "But Alex... you must now know that since you've been told about such creatures... you cannot tell a living soul. If some people know that you know... they'll come after you to find where they live." He explained. "Like that night... when you saw me... I had gotten into a fight with hunters... vampire hunters." He said as he looked for the teen's reaction. "Plus being the reason for staying home from school... and attacking you when I smelled your blood. It's like not having a single drink for the entire day, then a cold glass of water sitting on the counter. It's impossible to resist." He explained and looked away from Alex, at the floor, then back up at him. "I... hope that you can understand what's been happening and why." He said softly still looking at the poor pale teen.

As Alex was told the truth about Mr. Chase he stayed silent and in some shock. He had his suspicions, but didn’t think that they would turn out to be right. He was nervous and started to play with the blanket that was covering him. “Vampire, werewolf, and a nymph..that does sound rather unbelievable, though if someone else told me this I don’t think I would believe them.” He muttered in fascination. This did interest him very much and scared him in some ways.
The tone of Mr. Chase’s voice changed to that of like a businessman or a lawyer proving a point. “It’s not like anyone would believe me if I told them. I won’t open my mouth anyway.” He was gripping the blanket in his hands now. It was true that no one would listen to him. They would probably think he was insane. Alex looked into his eyes seeing that he was telling the truth about the hunters. His own eyes probably held fear of what happened that night. The man did scare the hell out of him.
“Hunters…that would explain why you looked like that and was on edge..” He said softly remembering. He closed his eyes, his knuckles turned white as he gripped the blanket harder. He scolded himself in his head to calm himself. Alex slowly let go of the blanket. “I do understand, to some extent. It still is a little odd and unbelievable, but that is always how people deal with things.”

Victor glanced down to the blanket Alex seemed to want to rip apart. He looked back up as he began to speak on how people would take it if he said anything. "Students will think so... but others will want us dead." He said as he looked back to the blanket. Alex was gripping it tighter. "It's just discrimination and persecution. It's happened all through out history. But other races... creatures as many call us will never see the end of it." He sighed and looked back to see the poor blanket out of Alex's hands. Emelia came up the stairs and into the bedroom. "Victor! Leave the poor boy alone now! Let him rest and go take a pill." She said as she shooed the older male out, who grumbled, taking the small black box off the night stand before leaving. She sat down on the edge of the bed. She reached out and gently fixed Alex's hair. "There. Are you feeling better sweetie?" She asked with a loving smile and sharp fangs. "Do you want anyhting to eat aside from crackers?" She asked as she glanced at the tray. Victor went downstairs, taking two of the pills. he grabbed his laptop and email the company that he needed two crates of pills and synthetics. Now that he had another vampire living with him, they'd have to come down and asked them both questions.

Alex noticed his eyes and felt a little uneasy. “Like other hunters.” He said matter- of- factly. If he wasn’t going to open his mouth to blab before he definitely wasn’t going to now. He didn’t want to be responsible for the other people. Not to mention he would be in danger as well since he knows their secret. “It will never end no matter who or what you are. People will always be what they choose to be. Hating and fearing what they don’t understand.” He sighed softly.
He didn’t hear the footsteps, but what he did hear was Emelia yelling Victor. Alex snapped his head up looking at the woman. He really rather not be surprised as much anymore. Despite his discomfort he was smiling. It was small, but it was there. It was amusing seeing Mr. Chase being ordered by the woman.
The boy frowned slightly when she messed with his hair. He thought it was fine. “Yea I’m feeling better. I just wish I could get up and walk without my legs going to jell-o, which I’m sure they would do.” He felt a cold shiver go down his spine when he saw her fangs. “I am rather hungry. What do you have in the house? I don’t want to burden you with cooking and what not..” He didn’t like being stranded to the bed.

"Okay, then let's get you out of bed." She said as she easily scooped him up into her arms and carried him downstairs. Alex was dressed in overly large pajamas. The sleeves went past his hands. "I'll make you something warm and fresh to eat." She smiled and sat Alex down beside Victor who was still on his computer. He smiled softly at the teen, still feeling bad. Emelia went into the kitchen and made Alex some eggs, toast, and cut up some oranges. She brought it back out for him once it was done, setting it on the table in front of the couch. "There you go." She said as she gently pushed some hair out of Alex's face. She sat on the other side of the teen and turned on the television. She left on the news. The news reporter was talking about several drained bodies in the city. Emelia looked over at Victor shocked. "What? It wasn't me! I swear! I went to a blood bar then came back." He said and looked back out. "Hunters are going to be all over the streets now." She sighed sadly. "But we'll have to find whatever is doing that and stop it." Victor said as he closed his lap top and set it on the table. There was another story, more bodies were found, drained in the same way. "Alex... you'll keep your promise about not telling... right?" Victor asked as he looked over at the teen. It wasn't either of them, but hunters didn't care. They killed the root of the problem.

Alex was about to protest, but he was already lifted up by her. He noticed what he was wearing and guessed that it was most likely Mr. Chase’s pajamas. He worked on rolling up the sleeves so he could use his hands as Emelia carried him downstairs. “That sounds like a good idea.” He smiled up at her. “Oh and thank you for carrying me down here.” He a light blushed appeared on his cheeks as he thanked her. The computer screen caught his eye, but he was polite and didn’t snoop.
The smells from the kitchen made his stomach growl. He put his arms over his stomach as if to conceal the noise from Mr. Chase. He was thankful that she was finished and he saw the plate of food. He felt fingers push some hair from his face before he picked the plate up setting it in his lap. “Thank you.” He said before eating the eggs with his fork. The fork was left in his mouth when he heard the news. The boy relaxed hearing Emelia, for some reason it mad the situation where he was sitting a little better.
He continued to eat not really focusing on the words exchanged. “It would be good, but the police can do that or a detective.” He was done with what was on his plate and was left with chewing on a piece of toast. “Ah..right you are vampires this is probably more up your alley then us humans.” Alex put the plate on the table folding his legs underneath him. He swallowed the last piece of toast before responding to Mr. Chase’s question.“I told you that I will keep my mouth shut.” He paused then spoke again. “Hunters won’t know that I’ve been bitten or been with vampires will they?”

Victor looked over to Alex, narrowing his eyes at the teen's rude remark. "Yes they will." He snapped back then sat back onto the couch, crossing one leg over the other. The man then crossed his arms over his chest as he started at the television screen. The weather man began to talk about more and more rain in the week, then possibly snow at the end of the week. The man's posture loosened up. "Which means that you'll have to be extra careful." He said softly as he turned to Alex, gently turning his head so he could look at the bite mark. The man sighed sadly as he looked at the two marks. It was his fault if anyhting happened to Alex. Because he couldn't control his thirst. Victor's cold hand slowly pulled away from Alex's warm neck. "Excuse me." He mumbled as he stood and left the room. Emelia scooted over to Alex. "Are you mad at him?" She asked as she leaned forward slightly. She loved gossip and she loved talking about it to somebody when the other person was out of the room. She reached out, playing with Alex's hair. The teen was cute, of course she admitted it, but he wasn't her type. Too short, young, and she wanted to take care of him, not be with him. On the other hand, she could easily tell that Alex was Victor's type. Though she would never tell the teen just yet. She sighed and reached over, grabbing the remote off the table. Emelia turned off the television so she could talk to him easier without getting distracted. "It was an honest mistake." She said as she tried to study the teen's face. "You're lucky that he stopped before you died." She said as if that was a blessing. He was just lucky enough to survive it was what she was saying, in that implying that not many people survived vampire attacks.

Alex was surprised at Mr. Chases’s attitude then again he was a little rude, but he didn’t mean it that way. He looked down in his lap thinking. If hunters really did know then he’ll have to act like normal. ‘If I act like something happened then I would be a target for sure.’ At the sound of more rain cheered him up, but not the snow. He rather rain not snow, even though he could take wonderful pictures with the snow lying on the ground. “I’ll do my best to be careful.” He said softly and jumped a bit in his seat feeling the cold on his neck.
He stayed still as Mr. Chase looked at his neck. The cold disappeared so he looked at the man only to watch him stand to leave. He wasn’t sure what to say to that. He wanted to say ok, but stayed silent. The boy’s attention turned to Emelia who was playing with his hair again. He didn’t mind it actually felt nice. “Just a little, but I don’t know. I’m not about to yell he’s a vampire. I just need to have a little time.”
The television turned off cutting the news announcer man’s last word. It wasn’t like he was paying attention to it though. “The first two times he saw it was me, but why not this time? I understand sort of about the blood thirst.” Alex eyes turned down thinking about the past events. He still felt the fear from each time that could be explanation as to why he might be mad. “I am grateful...that he did stop.” He murmured. “That I didn’t become like one of the people on the news..”
