Fangs And Blood

7

It had been two days since the incident with Mika and Ara. In the woods, Errika watched over Xander's grave, waiting for him to wake up. This was the last day, she knew Xander was about to wake, and when he does, she needed to be ready.

Suddenly, from the ground, a groan came. A tire soon crawled out, digging his way out of the grave before emerging with a growl.

"Xander...?" Errika drove over to help him out. "How do you feel, old friend?"

"Sore..." Xander hissed. "How... How long have I been out...?"

"Three days,"

"Three?" Xander's eyes widened. "You mean... Beejay turned me...?"

"Into a vampire, yes."

"Well, it was bound to happen, anyway," Xander sighed as he was set down.

"Do you want me to get the king?"

"Yes," Xander nodded. "Yes please,"

"I'll be right back."

Errika quickly transformed before she flew off towars the palace. She landed in the throne room with bow.

"Your majesty, Xander is awake!"

"He is?!"

Beejay jumped off his throne before turning into a bat and following after her towards the hut. There, he found Xander on the chair, resting.

"XANDER!!"

"Beejay…?" Xander glanced up only to be enveloped in a hug by the other.

"Are you all right?"

"Yes, yes, I'm fine," Xander smiled. "Thanks to you,"

"Ready to come home? I know my son and his friends are all worried."

"Yeah… I'm ready," Xander nodded as the other helped him up. "Thank you for your help, Errika."
"Thank you for your help, Errika."

"It is no problem," Errika bowed before snickering. "Though you know what that means, right, your majesty?"

"Hush, Errika," Beejay reddened a bit while Xander looked confused. "Let's go."
"Let's go."

"O… Kay…?"

Xander sighed in defeat and let his wings carry him off as they made their way back to the palace.

At the palace, Crusher was playing with the fillies and foals, along with all of his friends.

"Tag, you're it, Yza!"

"No fair, Blake! I'm coming for you, Camille!!"

"Nooo! Ashley, Prism, HELP!"

The friends laughed as the fillies and foals chased each other through the grass of the garden.

"Wow, they are so much more playful now that they're not slaves anymore!" Pickle giggled.

"That's a good thing," Blaze smiled.

"Yeah…" Crusher also gave a smile but repeatedly glanced up, waiting.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, just…" Crusher sighed. "It's been three days. Xander should be up by now…"

"Son! Look who I brought back!"

They all glanced up to find Beejay fly in. Xander was flying with him as they landed in front of the group.

"XANDER!!!"

They all ran to Xander, the fillies and foals embracing him.

"We were so worried!" AJ sighed. "Are you okay?"
