 Emelia giggled and shook her head, her blonde curled hair moving with her head. "Sweetie... you can't say that you understand about blood thirst." She said as she looked at him. "It's... far too complicated for a human to understand, not that it's bad, but you have to experience it to understand it." The vampire woman explained. Victor came back out at the sound of a honking car. He opened the door and stared out into the light falling rain. "Who is it Victor?" Emelia asked as she leaned forward, his fingers still playing with the teen's hair. The man didn't answer, but stepped aside and let another man in, closing the door. The man was short, shorter than Alex, and had thin white hair. Victor motion the man to sit on the single chair. He sat down and Victor sat back down next to Alex. The white haired man looked at Alex then at Emelia. "You have another living with you? Since when?" He asked strictly business like as he began to quickly scribble down on a clipboard. "Uh... for about a week or two?" He said as he looked over to Emelia who nodded. They obviously knew who this small man was. "How many pills and synthetics do you both have?" The man asked as he looked up at the older two. "No synthetics and hardly any pills left. about half a weeks worth for the both of us." He answered, getting another nod from Emelia. "And... the boy?" He asked looking up at Alex. Victor looked down, avoiding his eyes. Emelia looked over at the small man. "He, Victor that is, was attack by some hunters and he fed from this boy." He said and looked at the man. "Right, right. Victor, boy come with me." The man said and hopped off the chair. Victor stood and looked over at Alex. "Hold on." He mumbled, getting his coat, draping it around Alex's shoulders before scooping him up into his arms. "We'll be back soon." He mumbled to Emelia. Victor walked outside, making sure not to get Alex wet from the rain. He set the teen into the backseat of the car, then sat next to him, rubbing his hand into his hair, getting the water out. "Don't worry Alex. You'll be fine." He whispered to him,

 Alex felt his cheeks get a little red from embarrassment. “That’s why I said sort of understand.” Truthfully he didn’t want to understand it fully. He felt like it would be too much of a secret revealed or something like that. “With those words I believe you.” He said to the woman. He wouldn’t fake understanding something, that wasn’t how he was.
He moved his head a little at the sound of honking. ‘Why would someone be here? Unless it’s another vampire..’ He thought to himself watching Victor go to the door. Alex didn’t move his head much since he still felt Emelia’s fingers in his locks. Emelia voiced his question which was helpful, but would be even better if Mr. Chase answered. He watched the new man curiously. He looked rather old and he wondered why he was here.
The boy watched or rather heard the conversation between the man and the vampires. It sounded business, like he was a home owner or something. He came to the fact that he didn’t have to be nervous about the man since Mr. Chase and Emelia seemed to know him. Pills? That confused him since he wasn’t told about those. ‘Maybe it’s something that helps with the thirst?’ He felt like he was shooting in the dark with the guess.
He heard the man asking about him and felt those eyes on him. Rather a creepy crawly feeling. The tale was dead with less detail which he liked. What he didn’t like was that the man wanted him to go somewhere. He didn’t want to; he wanted to stay right in the house. The man kept calling him boy, he had a name. Obviously he had no say in the matter since he was small and a human. He felt Mr. Chase put a coat around his shoulders and pick him up. He felt like such a burden having to be picked up just to get somewhere. He waved to Emelia before Mr. Chase walked outside.
Even though Mr. Chase tried to not get him wet from the rain he did get a little bit and liked it. He wished that he could really feel the rain on him, like without the jacket. He was placed in the backseat of what he guessed was the man’s car. Alex looked at Mr. Chase only to feel his hands in his hair. He smiled a bit at the gesture. “I am more nervous. What’s going on?” He asked him hoping for an answer and not a surprise.

"I'll tell you when we get there." He mumbled. His hands were taken and cuffs placed around his wrists. This didn't seem to bother him at all, not one bit. The car stopped a few minutes later. They were underground. The door was opened and Alex was helped out. "Can you stand?" Victor asked Alex once he was pulled out. A tall buff man who was driving the car, picked Alex up before the teen could answer. "Thank you." Victor said as he smiled up at the large lycan. They were led into a large building, where others were handcuffed and one was begging somebody. "I wasn't me I swear! I was out ******** some girl last night!" The male shouted, Victor assumed he was accused of being the killer of the people that were found. Victor, Alex, the lycan and the small creepy guy was led into what looked to be an interrogation room. "Victor Chase hum? And how's this?" A man asked as he looked through the file that was given to him. "Alexander Reynolds." He said as he glanced over to him. "You attacked him last night. Where were you before?" The man asked as he looked back up at Victor. " Legally obtaining blood." He said and gave the name of the place he was at. "So, you now have... Emelia living with you? So you'll need more then the usual.." The man mumbled as he wrote things down. "Okay, one last thing and you're both free to go. I'll need imprints of your fangs Victor. With all of the killings, we need to know who's teeth look like what so we can compare them to the marks on the victim's necks." The man said. Some goopy pink stuff was brought out in a small holder, just like at the dentist. "But first... Alexander, your hand." The man said as he reached out across the table and held out his own hand. He needed to get Victor's fangs out, and so he pricked the teen's finger, squeezed a bit so a drop of blood appeared and moved Alex's finger by Victor. His fangs appeared and the imprint was taken.

‘Hand cuffs, but why?’ Alex wondered seeing them on Mr. Chase. He didn’t like this one bit, he wanted to be home. Maybe the cuffs were security measure for wherever they were going. All he could do was sit in his seat and play with the over sized pajama shirt. He felt the car stop and he scooted a little on the seat to get out. He had his feet on the ground and Mr. Chase voiced his own question. The boy was picked up suddenly, a bit annoyed at that. He looked at the man who was carrying him now. “Thank you sir..” He said softly though was uncomfortable. ‘It’s just a way to get around, he isn’t going to eat you or something. I hope.’ He thought to himself. Then again if he had other plans Mr. Chase wouldn’t be smiling and saying thank you to him as well, right?
Alex let these thoughts go over his mind only to be broken by a shout of protest. ‘The murders maybe? They probably think Mr. Chase is the murderer or something.’ He was taken away from the large room and into smaller one. He was getting a bad feeling. Ok scratch that he had a bad feeling before it was just getting worse. The teen looked at the man sitting across the table. He came to a conclusion that he was like an investigator or something like that. ‘How the hell does he have my name?’ He thought and just nodded to when he said his name.
The boy pressed a bit against the lycan’s chest. He was uncomfortable with this conversation. He sorta knew what they were talking about. He figured he was brought here to be proof that Mr. Chase was with him instead of killing those other people. It made sense then the man brought something else up. Fang imprints, interesting way to get the right facts. He saw the goopy pink stuff and stuck his tongue out slightly. He remembered that taste, it was always horrible. His tongue slipped back into his mouth when he was called. He didn’t want to give the man his hand, but he did anyway. Alex winced from the sudden p***k of his finger. ‘So now I was needed as proof and an easy way to get his fangs out.’ He thought as his finger was held by the older man’s mouth. He watched curiously as his fangs appeared.
Alex took his finger back from the man so that he sucked on the small p***k. Better he do it then some vampire. Though Mr. Chase it might’ve been ok. He looked at Mr. Chase wondering when they were to leave. He wasn’t sure if he should voice it since he knew whatever came out of his mouth that moment would be sarcastic and more than likely a little whiney.

They pulled the holder off and Victor licked the inside of his mouth, a napkin for him to spit the rest out was handed to him. "Okay, so now that we have everything done, we will take you back home and you and Emelia will both get the pills and synthetics." Victor's hands were uncuffed. The man smiled and shook Victor's hand. On closer inspection of the man, anybody, one who knows the different between a human and a vampire, could easily tell that this man was indeed a human. One side of his neck was covered in vampire bite scars. Victor thanked him again and left. The large lycan carried Alex back to the car they arrived in. About four large boxes were loaded into the back of the car. The lycan set Alex into the car and Victor climbed in next to him. "That wasn't too bad." The man smiled at the teen, his fangs still showing. He looked away and sighed softly. They dropped Victor and Alex off. Victor carried the teen in while the lycan carried in the large boxed for the two vampires. Once the men left, Victor set the teen down then opened up on of the large boxes. There were many smaller individual boxes in them. victor opened one and took three pills, swallowing them quickly.

The finger stopped bleeding and it was in his lap as he waited. He was still wondering what the man meant by pills and synthetics. Was it something to help Emelia and Mr. Chase out with being vampires? It could be something like that. Anything could be possible since he was being held in the arms of a lycan and he was bitten by a vampire. His life took a big turn in such a short time. He had to admit it wasn’t all that bad.
Alex noticed the man’s neck. He leaned a little closer to the lycan even though he was already lying against him as he was held. The man’s neck looked like it was attacked. It reminded him of his own bite. What does this man do for a living? He didn’t have to look any longer since he was taken back outside to the car. He was glad that he was out of there, finally being able to go home. Well, to Mr. Chase’s house. “Thank you for carrying me.” He said to the lycan when he was placed in the car.
He nodded slightly, “Yea not too bad.” He murmured. He saw the fangs and felt a shudder go up his back. He gripped the seat a little angry at himself. He felt himself be lifted up again once the car had stopped. Alex watched the lycan take all the boxes inside. He knew that they were contained with what that man was talking about, those pills and synthetics. Mr. Chase had set him on the couch where he fiddled with the pajamas he was wearing.
“Mr. Chase, can I ask what those pills and synthetics do for you and Emelia? I’m just curious.” He said after Mr. Chase took the pills. He had a thought to get out of the pajamas and take a shower. Then he had another thought wondering if his legs were strong enough to hold him up in the shower. That would be embarrassing if Mr. Chase or Emelia had to help him.

The lycan was caught off guard. he looked at Alex a bit dumbfounded. The man nodded and smiled at him and scooted in with him quiet as ever. "He's used to people screaming and hitting him, not thank yous." Victor said as he leaned in and whispered to Alex. He looked up over at Alex from another both he had opened which had the word 'fragile' stamped on it. He pulled up a black glass bottle. "We call these synthetics. Fake blood. All the same nutrition and taste but all fake, none of it real blood. These are our last resort since this generation was raised on human blood this is disgusting to us. So once the pills are gone we resort to these." Victor set the bottle back down into the box. "This day's generation is raised on synthetics since it's highly promoted. The pills are to help curve our blood thirst. They keep our fangs back, but like any pill, there are side effects. We walk out in the sunlight and out eyes change hues to our emotion and our noses become more sensitive." Victor picked up the small black pill and showed it to Alex, then put it back. "Then there are the blood bars, of course regulated by the government and carefully watched over. Donors give vampires blood, but unfortunately, they take away the pleasure and rush of biting on both ends. It's just like donating blood, but the vampires drink from the tubs that are connected to the needle and are in their arm. The amount of blood taken from one person can only be two pints, each vampire gets about half a pint from a human of their choosing." Victor explained. Well Alex knew about the majority of vampire regulated ways now.

The boy didn’t expect that response out of the lycan. His face showed confusion then Mr. Chase explained it his face showed sadness. “Oh..well he is a nice guy.” He replied looking back at the lycan and gave a small smile before his attention was turned to Mr. Chase as he began to explain. “So the synthetics are a good thing just taste awful.” He said to repeat what the man said mostly for himself.
Alex moved a little closer to get a good look at the black pill he took out. “It’s so small yet effective from what you say.” He nodded sitting back again. “It also explains how vampires pass as humans so well, since you guys can walk in sunlight with the help of those pills.” He listened when Mr. Chase was explaining about the blood bars. He sort of understood what he was talking about the pleasure of the bite thing. ‘It was like meat but you accidently eat vegetarian meat which isn’t as satisfying or the same taste.’
Alex smiled up at Mr. Chase. “Thanks for explaining all that to me. It helps me to understand in a way.” He fiddled with the cuff of the pajamas he was wearing. Earlier he was thinking about a shower, which he should probably take. He put his legs down on the ground and put some pressure on them. It didn’t feel too bad. He slowly got up though wobbled a bit he stayed standing. “I think..this is as far as I can get on my own. I trust that I can stand, but not walk. I feel like such a pain. I’m sorry.” He apologized blushing a little in embarrassment. “I would like to take a shower if it isn’t too much trouble to take me upstairs.”

"No problem." he said as he tossed Emelia a small box of pills who then caught it and opened it up, taking three. She tossed it back to him and Victor put it into the large box that was filled with the small individual boxes. "Nope, not a problem." Victor stood up and easily scooped the boy into his arms and carried him upstairs. "It'll be easier for you to take a bath, you won't have to stand." He said as he walked into the large bathroom and sat Alex down on the closed toilet. Victor moved over to the bathtub and started the hot water, then some cold. He stuck his cold hand under the hot water and waited for it to fill the tub before turning off the water and going back to Alex, helping him walk to the edge of the bathtub. "Do you need help undressing and washing?" Victor asked with a seriousness on his face. He had been alive enough and seen enough naked bodies. They didn't take any effect on him, only when it meant to lead to sex did he left himself go. He didn't really know if people now and days were comfortable with others, let alone teachers, seeing them naked.

Like Alex said before he felt like a burden since his body was so weak still. It made him hate his body for not healing. Then again it hadn't been that long since he was well hurt to say the least. "I didn't think of taking a bath." He mumbled as he was placed on the toilet. His fingers still played with the pajamas he wore. He'll need a new set of clothes after he comes out of the water.
The boy watched as the tub got filled and noticed that Mr. Chase came to him. It hurt a little to use his muscles to walk to the edge of the tub. It was good to stretch them, but that doesn't mean it would be painless. The older man's question was a bit unexpected for the teen. He had to look at his face to see if he was thinking of something different in mind. Like was he going to make fun of his size or do something else to him?
Why was he even thinking like that at this moment? Mr. Chase was nice, he has helped Alex so much and wouldn't turn on him for something silly as this. Then again he didn't know Mr. Chase that well either. Another point was that this man was still Alex's teacher. That in itself would be embarrassing if a teacher saw him naked. He also didn't want to admit that he might need help. "I think I'll be ok. Once I'm sitting that is. It's walking that's a pain in the butt."
"I just need towels and some clothes to change into when I'm done." His cheeks reddened a little at what he was going to say next. "I'll call your name if I need help. If that's ok.." He started to unbutton the pajamas finding that it wasn't that hard. Maybe his body was really healing.

Victor gave a short nod and left the bathroom gently closing the door behind him. He walked back down stairs to see Emelia sorting through the large boxes, a synthetic bottle open and her lips stained a bit. "Listen out for him when he calls." Victor said then walked out the front door. He managed to get into Alex's room and went through his drawers, pulling out clean clothes for him. He grabbed Alex's pajamas as well and his pillows and a blanket from his bed. The man figured that it would be best to have something that smelled like home, something that made him comfortable. Victor was back inside. Emelia shook her head, her platinum blonde tight fake curls shaking with her head. Victor carried Alex's things up to his room. Surprisingly there weren't any other rooms in the old Victorian home. Only two and both were occupied. Victor set Alex's pillows on his bed and put the blanket down over his own. The man then went over to his desk and sat down. He opened his lap top and got it started. His green eyes stared out the slight part in the curtains. He stared out at the street. It was a dull grey. Boring. The man grew perfectly still. This often happened. His mind would wander back to when he was still human, what was happening, what was going on. A sound from his laptop quickly brought him back from day dreaming. He logged into his school account and checked out what had been going on. Turned out his car had been found and the blood by it caused a worry. There were things about people looking for him to make sure he was okay. It was going to be hard going back to school to explain what, didn't happen. He was going to have to make them forget that it ever happened, that blood was ever there.

Alex felt his cheeks die down to his regular complexion. As he undressed his muscle protested the movement of his body, but he ignored it. He wanted to get into the warmth of the tub. He thanked whichever one of the two dressed him in button pajamas. He was sure that if he had to lift the shirt over his head that he wouldn’t be able to. The boy bent down putting his hands on the edge of the tub, his knuckles were white. He was holding on so tight since he was afraid of falling over. He slowly lifted his left leg and put it down in the tub. His right leg went just as good. Then his body slowly descended down onto the bottom of the tub. A sigh escaped the teens lips as the warmth of the water eased his tense muscles.
As the boy sat in the water he thought about the last couple of days. He had seen and learned so much about a different world. There were vampires, werewolves, and other weird men who are know-it-alls. He laid his head back against the tub his hair getting wet. Tentatively, he raised his hand to his neck. He was a little scared to what he would find, but it wasn’t that bad. He traced over the mark before moving his hand down in the water. He didn’t want to touch it, he didn’t want to remember. Alex trusted Mr. Chase and he liked him, but that one memory will take a long time to get over.
He had finally taken the soap to his skin washing all over. Then he took the shampoo and conditioner running his fingers through his black hair. It was rather difficult to bathe oneself in the tub, but Alex pulled it off. He was surrounded by suds of soap now. His muscles had loosened up as he moved around and sat in the warm water. It was good for him even though he knew they would be in pain later. He wanted to be able to walk on his own again and not make Mr. Chase or Emelia carry him everywhere.
Alex sighed and started to get out of the tub. This time it was easier for him. He took out the plug and heard the water go down the drain as he grabbed a towel to wrap around himself. “Mr. Chase? I need a change of clothes.” He said through the crack of the bathroom door. He didn’t want to change into the old clothes, they were unclean. He also didn’t want to walk out of the bathroom in only a towel. He would freeze and be embarrassed.

Victor had again spaced out, his computer had gone into standby mode. His eyes stared out that sliver of world that came in from the small space of the curtains. Alex's voice broke his thoughts and Victor stood up, gathering Alex's pajamas and opening the door. "Please just call me Victor. We're not in school." He said as he showed the teen the clothes. "I had to sneak into your room to get them." He said as he set them down on the counter and scooped up the pajamas Alex was wearing before and walked out, giving him some time to get dried off and dressed. Victor headed downstairs, knowing that he'd still be able to hear Alex from there. Emelia was... basically making a mess of the kitchen. "Oh you're finally down." She laughed, her face covered in baking powder. The man sighed as he looked at her. "You don't know how to cook... do you?" He asked then took over. Emelia gladly helped clean up the mess she made before. Dinner was made quickly, since Victor took over it got done quickly. The man walked back upstairs to check up on Alex. he walked to the closed door and gently knocked. "Are you okay in there?" He asked softly as he pressed his ear to the door, trying to hear what Alex was doing that would take him so long. Even with the sore muscles, it shouldn't take that long.

The water drops that were still on the boy started to make his body shiver. Alex was feeling the breeze from the rest of the house enter the bathroom and since he was still wet it didn’t make a good combination. He stepped away from the door when Mr. Chase came to the bathroom. “I’m so use to Mr. Chase and you are still my teacher. It’d be a little awkward to call you Victor.” He was sure that he would call him that in school and he didn’t want to make that mistake. It might just happen as well, Alex couldn’t tell the future. He smiled seeing his own pajamas. It made him happy to see something of his and he was a little surprised that the vampire would sneak into his house to get something for him.
“Thank you so much Mr. Chase. I hope you were careful when you went there.” Alex didn’t expect for him to come inside the bathroom. He held on the towel a bit tight. He didn’t want it to well fall in front of Mr. Chase. That would be so embarrassing. Once Mr. Chase was out of the bathroom he started to change into his pajamas.
The difficult part was to get the pants on since that required him to balance on one foot. That resulted in him falling over at least twice. Along with a couple of curse words he was finally able to get his pajama bottoms on. His cheeks were dusted with red as he adjusted his draw strings on the pants. He took his t-shirt softly cursing it. He took a deep breath and with both arms in the holes he raised his arms up. He put his head through the head hole, making sure that the shirt went down to his waist. It hurt, but his shirt was on. He felt like doing a dance though he didn’t.
Alex took the extra time to dry his hair since it was dripping on his shirt. It would also help with keeping the chill off him. The small area he had to walk around wasn’t too bad. It was making his muscles sore. He cursed again since his body was so weak. He heard a knock at the door after he finished drying his hair with the hair dryer. “Yea I’m fine Mr. Chase. But..I do need some help walking again. I think my muscles are yelling at me.” He unplugged the dryer and put it away. He leaned against the sink waiting for Mr. Chase to walk in. When he did he gave a small smile. “I didn’t know where to put the towel I used so I just laid it on the edge of the tub.”

Victor walked into the bathroom, smiling at Alex. "Look better." He said as he looked to the towel. "Oh that's fine, don't worry about that." He said then scooped Alex up into his arms. "You should be bale to walk fine tomorrow, with a little soreness of course, but nonetheless walking. But... I do suggest that you stay here and not leave. You still need to recover and be watched over." Victor said as he walked out of the bathroom, into his room, then out of his room. The vampire carried the teen downstairs and into the large kitchen. It held a table in the corner with four chairs. He sat Alex down into it. Emelia was already sitting there. "Dinner's ready!" She said with a smile and a small clap of her hands. Victor served them dinner. Chicken and dumpling soup. He sat down between Emelia and Alex. "Eat." He said then got up and got them drinks. There was somethign he left out about a vampire bite, but it... was... kinda insignificant. Victor came back with two bottles of synthetics and Alex's favorite drink. Victor opened the bottles easily. The two vampires ate in silence. They were proper and careful when they ate. Victor was born in 1421 and was raised to be proper, those teachings still stuck with him even now. Victor glanced over at Alex, then picked up the bottle taking a quick drink. Victor cringed at the awful taste. "Disgusting." He mumbled and set the bottle down.
