Michael sighed as he rearranged the blanket and hurried towards the house. He could see Sam and his friends hurtling towards the house on their bikes.

"Did they ride all the way here?" Michael asked. Sam dumped his bike as he hurried up the porch and helped Michael inside.

"Nah. They hitchhiked. Couldn't leave us hanging with a vampire problem." Sam muttered as he hurried through the house. Michael headed upstairs while the two boys let themselves in and looked around. Alan followed Sam into the kitchen while Edgar followed Michael.

"You sure you want the bloodsucker in your house? You can't be sure it's a tame one like you were." Edgar said in a grave voice. He'd grown taller since they'd left Santa Carla, and so had his brother. Sam too though he wasn't as tall as the brothers.

"You hurt (Y/N)..." Michael said dangerously. Edar threw up his hands in surrender and stepped down a few steps while Sam hurried into the hallway to give Edgar a drink from the fridge.

"They won't do anything, Michael. They're here to help with that vampire creep." Sam assured his brother. Michael gave all three of them a hard stare and continued upstairs. He kicked his bedroom door open and hurried to put you down on the bed. He spent a few minutes making sure that no sunlight could get through the thin curtains and added a blanket from the airing cupboard on the landing to be sure.

"Michael?" You said quietly. He turned to you and cautiously hurried to the side of the bed he'd put you on and crouched down.

"Are you ok?" He asked. You shook your head and sighed.

"My throat hurts." You admitted. Michael winced and thought about the burn of hunger he could remember.

"Yeah... but you know Sam's friends are here to help. They were mildly helpful last time." He said and you gave a weak smile.

"Didn't they figure out you were a vampire? I'd say that's more than mild." You mumbled. He chuckled a little and you cringed as the door burst open which lit up the semi-dark room and caused you to wince, raising a hand to cover your eyes.

"Sorry!" Sam said. You glared at the group that gathered around you.

"Have you killed anyone?" One of them asked. Lowering your hand you found them all holding wooden stakes that were tapered into a point at the end.

"No." You said firmly. They glanced at each other and nodded.

"Will you just leave us alone and find out who did this? We wrote down everything (Y/N) remembers." Michael said as he pointed to scrap paper that the nurse from the hospital had given you so the two of you could note down what had happened. Michael had managed to get you out of the hospital while Sam spoke on the pay phone in the hallway to the brothers and hurried after him. Sam motioned for the brothers to follow him and they could be heard reading what Michael had written down for you through the door.

"You don't have to do this." You said quickly. Michael rolled his eyes as he got up to double-check that the curtains were blocking out enough light.

"Uhu. And you didn't have to come to my house and fight a head vampire but you still did so you're stuck with me." Michael smiled at you and you huffed a little as he sat on the opposite end of his bed.

"I didn't exactly do a good job at fighting though." You said quietly. Michael chuckled and shrugged.

"You still gave it your best shot. You protected me long enough to get the upper hand. I don't think any of us expected my grandpa to come through the wall." Michael smiled and glanced at you. His smile fell a little when he saw the way you squinted and pulled his blanket over your head even in the low-lit room. "This time I'll protect you. Even though you're a vampire, you're still my friend."
