"Are you awake?" Tim said softly, my eyes quickly fluttered open, his hand reached out.

"Don't touch me" I said quickly jumping backwards, I didn't want what happened to that guy to happen to him.

"It's okay Abel" he said softly, he gripped my hand tightly, my eyes were blue again.

I had lost control, just like with my dad, I felt like I had enough power to blow up the whole town.

"I'm a time bomb" I said quickly, tears burned my eyes, I'm a monster, whether or not I admit it.

"Hey! that's not true" he said comfortingly, he wrapped his muscular arms around me and kissed my forehead.

"There's no way someone as beautiful as you could be a monster" he said softly.

His grip was so strong even if I wanted to get out I couldn't, "you don't get it! that's the trap, I seduce people and then destroy them" I said.

"Well it would be an honor to be destroyed by you" he said kissing my lips.

Slowly my anxiety and fear slipped away, my hands softly touched his cheeks.

He was my sanctuary, every time we were together I felt as though all of my suffering was gone.

I felt a soft breeze enter his room, my eyes began to glow golden, and the ring of gold circled his pupil.

He moaned painfully, he fought it, "Abel you can control this" he said softly continuing to kiss me.

A soft golden light escaped his lips and entered my mouth, I began to feel stronger.

He started to lose color in his face but he looked like he enjoyed it, the golden ring faded.

I fought as hard as I could and my power quickly faded, I smiled proudly, I kissed him harder.

He seemed to be turned on by my effort, "you're my little soldier" he said against my lips.

I giggled a little bit and bit his lip, he laughed and kissed me again his hands slid under my shirt.

"I love you" I said softly, he choked uncomfortably, a strong blush rushed to my cheeks.

His hands dropped and he pressed his head against the wall, "well are you hungry cause I am" he said sliding his legs off the bed.

"Yeah sure" I said, he smiled and kissed my forehead and walked out of the room.

I pressed my face into the pillow and screamed embarrassed, I can't believe I said that.

He didn't say it back, oh my gosh everything is going to be awkward now, my teenage heart needed to stop getting the best of me.

I laughed a little, ironic how something so normal could affect me so much more.

He was probably going to be a while so I went into his library, I decided to do research on this Narcissus.

He was considered so beautiful that he fell in love with his reflection, and drowned trying to grab his reflection.

Helen and Narcissus both had that in common, they were both at times considered the most beautiful people.

Could that be happening to me? could I somehow be related to them, the were both Greek.

I slid the huge book into it's spot, I heard footsteps behind me, "you look a lot better Abel" Tim's dad said.

"Thanks I feel a lot better Mr.Carthens" I said him giving him my award winning smile.

He smiled and nodded, his face faked shock, "I just don't understand how you woke this soon" he said running his chin.

I gulped nervously, "what do you mean? I think I was just tired from all those shifts at the cafe" I lied.

He smirked, he was smarter than I thought, "maybe, but in my profession it looked like you were in a coma" he said.

"Yeah well I'm fine" I said quickly walking away from him, he grabbed my arm tightly.

"Maybe we should do some tests to see if everything's okay, I only want what's best for you" he said looking me in the eyes.

His grip tightened, I fought my urge to unleash my power in him, "like I said, I'm fine" I said quickly.

I yanked my arm free and quickly walked out of the library, my feet slowly slid across the carpet.

"Hey gorgeous" Tim said with a smile as he put two plates on the dining table, his step mom waved to me.

I smiled back nervously, his dad walked past us towards the door, his eyes glanced at me coldly.

"Where you going boss?" Tim asked his dad quickly, my head throbbed, caging my power was hard.

"I have work to do" he said without glancing at me, he threw on his coat and left.

A small growl vibrated in my throat, no one heard it but me, I sat down and pushed my food around the plate.

"Will you eat it please, it took me so long to make" Tim said softly, I began to eat it, it was actually good.

"How's Simon?" I asked Tim, I was so glad to hear that they were friends again.

"He's a little upset" he said sadly, my eyebrows raised, I haven't seen him since before football camp.

"Why!?" I asked protectively, Tim dropped his fork and have me a serious look.

"He went back to Texas to visit his brothers grave, it's his anniversary" Tim said sadly.

I jumped up, guilt stormed through my head, I speed dialed Simon, he answered after the third ring.

"Hey man what's up?" he asked sadly, it broke my heart knowing he was sad.

"What's up? what's up! why didn't you tell me" I said quickly, the guilt made me mad.

"I don't like talking about it Abe" his voice broke over the phone, I always told him everything this wasn't sliding.

"You're telling me, I tell you everything, no secrets remember" I said with a forceful tone.

"Are you serious?" he asked me, I made a mhm noise and he sighed.

"Fine I'll tell you about him when I come back, just be ready for tears" he said, he hung up.

I spent another two hours at Tim's house, we just goofed around and ran around the property.

It was so peaceful, his smile warmed my very heart, and the way he looked into my eyes said everything.

(Tim's POV)

He walked out the door, I kissed him softly and slapped his butt, he wanted to walk hike home and clear his mind.

I wanted so bad to say I loved him, but I couldn't, we weren't even dating yet, but I knew he was the one.

He was already gone by the time I got the courage to say it, "crap" I said to myself.

That's it, tomorrow I'm going to tell him I love him and he's going to be my boyfriend.

I don't care if the whole school knows, he's the love of my life and people would have to get used to it.

I really did love him, I just hope my chances weren't blown today, we'll see tomorrow.

(My POV)

I know it was weird but I took my shoes off and walked on the soft snow.

It burned but it felt sort of good, I smiled peacefully, it hurt that he didn't say it back but I just need to give it time.

A car pulled up behind me, I smiled, he had driven to get me, i heard a door slide open.

I jumped forwards and spun, about six guys came out of a huge black van and held guns up at me.

My eyes glowed golden, I lifted my hand and the guns all disarmed, they tried to fire but it broke.

A boy aged 14 jumped out of the back of the car and looked scared, he had light brown hair and hazel eyes.

He but his nail as he walked past the men, "I think you should just come with us" he said softly.

I laughed at him, "no way in hell" I said, he looked like he was going to cry the men dropped there guns and whipped out hand guns.

But what was strange was that they aimed it at him as he walked towards me.

What the hell? who were these people? why were they trying to take me? and why was I getting such a bad vibe off this boy.

"My name is Victor Randcloft" he squeeked, as he took more steps towards me.

The wind picked up as I tried to warn him not to come any closer, he continued though.

"Look if you think I won't hurt you cause you're a kid you have another thing coming" I said, my vampire growled in unison.

My eyes turned from good to red, he was back, could he sense the danger too.

I felt my strength and senses coming back quickly, I felt powerful again, "look vampire, I have to bring you in" he said.

"Bring me where? no way I'm going anywhere with you" I laughed, he smiled.

"To Carthcorp, orders are orders" he snickered, my fangs tore through my mouth.

He smelled different, dangerous, "what are you?" I asked quickly, his facial expression changed quickly.

He stood there with the look of a psychotic killer, "I'm a human" he said, I shook my head.

"No you're not" I said, there was only supposed to be my kind, vampires and humans, what is happening.

"I'm just a very powerful little human boy" he cackled, I braced myself as his pace picked up.

He looked me in the eyes and his pupils expanded greatly, almost like he had just been injected with drugs.

He smiled, I felt like I was lost in his black pupils, like I was falling in, was he Glamouring me?

I clenched my fists ready to attack him, his head tilted like a puppies, pain exploded through my veins.

It was as though every cell in my body was being lit on fire, I yelled in agony as I collapsed to the ground.

I began having a seizure but the pain I was enduring was super natural, I watched as he turned slowly.

One of the soldiers grabbed the sides of his head and fell to his knees, blood exploded from his riot helmet.

The other five soldiers began firing shots at the boy, he fell backwards, there were about 17 tranquilizers in him.

I couldn't move, I was so disoriented, two guys picked me up and put me in the back of the van.

Oh god were was I going, my heart was racing irregularly, I had never been this scared in my life.

Carthcorp, that was the company that Tim's dad owned, how had he known I was a vampire.

Isn't it ironic how the one person who could make you feel so safe could be related to someone who made you so terrified.

They dragged me inside and stripped me, "you are marvelous aren't you" Mr.Carthens said.

"You should've came in voluntarily" he said looking at Victor amused, I began shaking.

"Please don't hurt me" I begged, he smiled at me and laughed, he began tapping his little pad and a hologram of my body entered the screen.

I could see my irregular heart beat and everything, I could see the fangs in my mouth, it was so weird.

"My boy this isn't going to hurt" he said warmly, I sighed, he laughed again and smirked at me.

"This is going to be excruciating" he said, they dragged me straight to a room and held me down to a table.

They injected me with a liquid that made my skin feel like bugs were biting me, and they kept injecting various substances.

It was torture, they seemed to be looking for weaknesses or ways to keep me suppressed.

Forcefully I made myself faint.

******

My vampire self stood across from me, he smiled at me nervously.

"What are you smiling about!" I yelled, he looked like he was about to cry, he shook his head.

"We can't let them do experiments on you, can you imagine what they could do with your abilities" he said.

He made sense, "so what? what can I do" I said, he smiled and put his hand on my shoulder.

"They'll drive you insane, you can't take it, I can, and if I'm in control of your body it'll be a vampire they're looking at" he said, I shook my head.

Even if he was a monster he didn't deserve all this agony, "you can't" I said, he smiled.

"I have to" he said with tears in his eyes, the water began to make it's way up my legs.

It was hard to move, "you'll stay here until we get rescued or I escape, I need to protect you" he said.

Tears began to fall down my face "please don't!" I yelled, it was only now that I felt connected to him.

Like he was my brother, regardless of his evil characteristics he was still a part of me.

He vanished and light filled this dark void, I could see everything but I couldn't feel or move my body.

I was a prisoner in my own head, but a prisoner in my head seemed a lot better than the real world.

Time to hibernate, but until then I leave everything up to you vampire.

******

It was weird being in full control of this body, my eyes searched the room frantically but I couldn't do anything.

I wasn't used to pain as this was my first time free in the real world, my eyes turned red.

After they had cut me open for an hour they closed me up and threw me in a room shaped like a hexagon.

There was a single window that I crawled under, that was the only glimpse of the outside world that I'd get.

Please someone find me, where was Eric right now, he was my only friend, the only one who accepted me.

And the only one who could save me, how much longer could I hold up here before they killed me?

(Simons POV)

I had waited for Abel for almost three hours, way to stand me up man, I clenched my fists.

I was going to tell him everything, about my brother and my mom, he wanted to know so bad so where was he.

I called his phone five times and he didn't answer, I called Tim and Tim said he was walking home.

I know it was pretty far but he should be back by now, even if he didn't has his vampire powers.

His mom called and asked me where he was and I said at my house in the shower.

I had to cover for my best friend, but after standing me up, especially for something this important, I don't know if I'd consider him even a friend.

He better have a damn good reason for bailing, I've never been so mad in my life.

I slammed my door behind me after storming up stairs, I went to the back of my closet and picked up a picture.

I was about 15 in this picture, my brother was 18, he was tall and handsome.

I was really short back then and really scrawny, puberty had been kind to me, I smiled.

I idolized my brother, he was tall and looked only a little bit like me, but enough to know if we were standing next to each other.

I missed him so much, I longed to look into his eyes, I just wanted my big brother back.

We both had green eyes, mine was pale, but his were dark, and he had these pink dots in his eyes.

"Calvin I miss you so much"

(The next few chapters will surround Tim, Simon, and Calvin, and there quest to find and rescue Abel while sorting out there emotional problems)
