Stolen by the Night

You Love Who?!

Jake blushed darkly and asked, "What?!" Riften said, "I think I love you." Jake said, "I- I-. I'm flattered but- but I don't know how to responded to that." Riften grabbed Jake's wrist and said, "Just say 'yes', Jake." Jake was wide eyed and said, "I- I- I- I-" Riften used his other hand to caress Jake's cheek. He looked into Jake's green eyes with his deep, blue eyes. Riften whispered lovingly, "Just say 'yes'." Jake's green eyes began to get a red tint and Jake went 'ga ga' faced.

Dirk woke on the cold bed he woke on when he first woke as a vamp. Dirk looked around and thought, "Agh, fuck. How did I get down here?" Then, he slowly remembered that he accidentally attacked his brother because of his blood thirst. Dirk thought, "I'm sure he's fine. I remember him hitting me with his baseball bat and Riften must've gotten me." Suddenly, Dirk heard a scream and it sounded identical to a certain English boy he knows.

Jake had his wrists held down to the bed as he laid on his back, Riften looming over his and hold Jake's wrists. Riften said, "Just become a vampire, Jake. You and me could live together for eternity. No more loneliness." The red tint had faded away but it began to come back. Riften smirked down at the British boy. Just as Riften leaned down for Jake's neck, the door to the room bursted open to reveal a very seemingly pissed Dirk. Dirk looked around the room angry until he found the half vamp atop Jake.

Then, he looked even more pissed. Dirk used his powers to push Riften off of Jake. Jake snapped out of it, "Huh? Wha? What's going on?" Dirk grabbed Jake's wrist and pulled him to his feet. Dirk said, "No time to explain! We'll talk at a secret location! Let's go!" Dirk ran fast out of the house and it all just seemed like a blur to Jake. Dirk ran to an underground storage unit and went inside and flipped a switch and tech began popping out of the walls. He closed the door and locked it behind them. Jake stood for a moment in silence then asked, "Dirk, good mate, what in good golly just happened?"

Dirk turned to Jake and said, "That half vamp dude tried to eat you, Jake. You really think you can trust a guy you just met or your best friend since, like, forever?" Jake said, "What?! He wouldn't!" Dirk said, "He used his powers to put you in a trance. You wouldn't even be able to remember." Jake said, "But... But he was such a good guy..." Dirk growled to himself, jealous. Dirk said, "He was an ass and he was using you! He just wanted to drink your blood and be done with you!" Jake said, "But-" Dirk interrupted, "There is no 'but', Jake! He's evil! Just like the rest of them!"

They were silent and Dirk went to mess with a computer. Jake walked over and asked, "Then, what does that make you, Strider?" Dirk said, "I didn't choose to be this way, English. In fact, I'm actually looking up methods for a cure." Jake asked astonished, "Really?!" Dirk nodded and kept his eyes to the screen as he searched more. After a while, Dirk pushed a button and a bed popped out. Dirk said, "Get comfortable. We're gonna be here awhile." Jake asked, "What do you mean? What about my house?"

Dirk said, "Riften knows that place too well and would guess you'd go back there. This is a place he hasn't seen yet. We'll be safer here." Jake nodded. Jake sat at the edge of the bed, watching Dirk type away at the computer. After another long while, Jake said, "Dirk, what about your hunger? Don't you need blood?" Dirk nodded and said, "Yes, but I think I can hold out just a little longer." Jake shouted, "Dirk, if you don't eat, you're going to die!" Dirk shook his head and said, "English, I'll be fine." Jake said, "No, you won't. You don't know the first thing about being a vampire."

Jake walked over to Dirk and put out his wrist. Dirk stopped typing and looked over and asked, "English, what is this?" Jake said, "As long as you don't bite my neck, I won't turn. You need to feed, Dirk. I can't lose you again..." Dirk looked up at the Brit and noticed tears in his eyes. Dirk sighed and said, "If it means that much to ya, then... fine. I'll drink your damn blood." Jake smiled at Dirk and Dirk blushed, luckily hidden by his shades. Dirk grabbed Jake's wrist and breathed in and out for control. He took Jake's wrist into his mouth and bit down with his fangs.

Blood leaked into Dirk's mouth and it tasted like heaven. Dirk wanted more, oh so much more. He sucked hard on Jake's wrist but he came back to composure. Dirk pulled back and let got of Jake's wrist. He wiped his lips with the back of his own wrist. He said to Jake, "There's a first aid kit in the back in the closet." Jake nodded, holding his wrist in pain. Jake went to the closet and pulled out the first aid and opened it. He grabbed the bandages and began to wrap his wrist. Dirk said, "And Jake?" Jake said, "Yes?" Dirk said, "Thank you."

Jake said, "No problem, mate." Dirk continued his work and Jake finished wrapping his wrist. Jake closed the first aid and put it away. He sat down on the bed once again and soon laid down. Jake asked, "Aren't you tired?" Dirk said, "Vamps don't need sleep." Jake said, "Huh. Guess you're right on that one." There was silence then, Jake said something bold, "Can you just come sleep with me?" Dirk turned around rapidly but regained composure once again. He asked in a slightly shaky voice, "What?" Jake said, "I asked if you could come sleep with me. Even if you don't need it."

Dirk breathed in and out and stood from his chair. He walked over and laid down on the other side of the bed. Jake turned on his side facing Dirk and said, "So, what's it like? You know, being a vamp." Dirk said, "Honestly? It feels..." Dirk waved his hands around in the air, trying to find the right word for it, "empty." He finished. Jake asked, "What do you mean by that?" Dirk said, "It feels cold all the time and emotions feel out of grasp. I don't feel like doing the things I usually loved doing and I just feel... empty, in general." Jake scooched over and hugged Dirk.

Jake said, "Then we'll cuddle. So I can keep you warm." Dirk chuckled lowly and then smiled. Dirk said, "Thanks, English." Dirk turned and faced Jake and hugged him back. They closed their eyes and soon drifted off into the realm known as dreams.
