probably not as good but I think it gets the point across. There's a lot more I could have added but for length sake I didn't.

Reader is new to the group and really only knows two of the band members so she will get around to getting comfy with all them. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a nice day/night

Song: vampires will never hurt you
+++++++++

I do kind of regret letting Gerard go but I guess I'll just have to live with that decision. I just hope that he doesn't decide to come back because he might not be so lucky next time. it was later at night already and i had been impatiently waiting for someone to wander through the cemetery grounds. it seemed that no one felt the need to come to the cemetery late on a Thursday night like they normally did.

It had been a few days since I'd eaten anything other than rabbit, and tonight Gerard of course. I half hoped he would come back just so I could finish him off. His sweet blood tasted almost like a divine wine and I longed for the taste again. I was sitting on a headstone close to the fence when I heard a few men speaking. Just by ear and smell I could tell that one was Gerard just as I'd hoped.
There was also one that was smoking, a nervous one walking fast, and a confident one walking strong. They each had a different heart beat rhythm and I wished to see the face that belonged to each. Suddenly I heard the gate rattle and the chain clomp to the ground.

I ran to the gate but they were already three feet inside. I slammed it closed behind them and they all turned around rapidly to face me. Each face showing a differing emotion. Gerard was a look of relief, the one smoking was one of un-amusement, the nervous one was a bit uneasy looking and the confident one looked strikingly happy to see me. I scanned over each and then straight at Gerard and stared a bit.

"I thought I told you not to come back."

"I know you did but none of them believed me, except ray that is."

He pointed to the confident one with the excited expression. He seemed happy to see me and his hair bounced when he rolled onto the balls of his feet like a child on Christmas.

"Alright you've seen me now leave. This isn't a circus."

He walked carefully up to me, being carful Incase I snapped at him like I said I would and finish him off. He then got close and whispered to me.

"Could you at least show them your fangs? They won't believe me, that your a real vampire and all. And ray was really excited to actually meet you."

"Gerard you shouldn't have told them about me in the first place. I told you not to come back and here you are with three other people."

"Yeah about that it would have been four others but Bob decided to go to sleep cause he didn't believe me either."

"I don't care about Bob. if I don't take care of you all soon or if you don't get out, the old man's gonna yell at me for not holding up my end of the bargain."

I guess I said that a little too loud and menacing because Gerard backed up a bit at my angry tone. Then the short one that was smoking walked up behind him. He looked me up and down and..... Smiled?

"Hi I'm Frank."

He reached his hand out for me to shake but I just crossed my arms over my chest. There was no way in hell I was gonna

"Are you really a vampire?"

"Yes."

"What did you mean by holding up your end of the bargain?"

That's when Gerard cut in.

"I told you, she has a contract with the grounds keeper which is why I have a hole in my neck."

I decided that I had had enough.

"If you don't get the fuck out of my cemetery I have no choice but to eat you all. unless you would like to make a deal with me then leave."

That's when Frank perked up, this was not going to end well.

"Okay, how 'bout we make a deal, what's your current position with the grounds keeper?"

"I keep all the trespassers off the grounds from dusk to dawn and the old man doesn't say anything about how I eat, what I eat, or how much or how little I choose to eat. I get fed and he can't judge me."

"That sounds good and all but what if you get a few days were no one shows up for you to eat?"

"Then I'll chase a rabbit if I want. It's not like I have to eat a lot. But because I'm technically dead and can't get nutrients, like vitamins from the Sun, i get them from blood. Though animals don't have all the things I need like humans do, its enough to tide me over for a short while. And I'm not gonna lie Gerard is the first person I've had in a while."

I looked at Gerard and he froze. He stared back at me in almost shock and fright. I then looked back to Frank.

"Okay here's my deal: we are going to be on tour for another few months, you can tag along and feed off of all of us if you want. But the catch is you arnt aloud to feed off of or kill anyone else when your with us."

I looked at him and thought for a minute. If I took his offer I would have a guaranteed meal whenever I wanted and wouldn't have to try to survive off of animals for periods of time. But if I left, the old man would have problems with trespassers again.

"Somethings may need changing over time but You've got a deal Frank. If you think of anything else to add, feel free to negotiate with me. there's something we've got to do first. All of you follow me."

They all followed me up the hill to the shed I stayed in. I opened the doors and they all looked around curiously.

"Is this where you live?"

"Yes, it's the only dark place on the grounds where I can sleep during the day. I also don't have many belongings so I don't need a very large space."

"What about insulation like heating during the winter?"

"Im cold blooded so it doesn't really bother me. I'm always cold so I don't feel it."

I reached for a bowl under the shelf next to my bed and the pocket knife I kept under my pillow. I then walked to the other side of the shed to one of my bags and took out a small vile attached to a necklace. I took it over to the bowl and flipped open the pocket knife and popped the cork off the bottle. As soon as I did so they all jumped and stared at me.

"I want you to know I'm fairly old fashioned. I've been around a long time and have been making deals since I was changed. This also means that I make blood deals. You get a vile of my blood when we make a contract in case I kill you while it is still valid. You are entitled to me making you drink the blood if you wish to become a vampire if I kill you. It's sort of a scapegoat on my part. I don't murder you accidently, or not, and theres one less or one more vampire in the world if that's what you choose."

"So your saying that if I die while under contract your obligated to change me if I want you too?"

"Yes but only if I'm the one to kill you and you can change your mind at any time if you do or don't wish to be changed."

He shook his head yes. I nodded to him and sliced my hand open letting my blood pour into the open vile set in the middle of the bowl. Once filled I held my hand tightly closed over the bowl and put the cork back in the glass. I handed it to Frank who decided to make the contract.

"If you lose this our contract is terminated so keep it with you at all times."

He placed it around his neck and looked at me.

"Well if your coming with us I guess you better get your stuff together. I told the bus driver We'd be back before two and time is ticking."

They all walked out of the shed as I gathered my things. We all made our way through the cemetery and through the golden gate. It had been almost two decades since I'd been outside of the grounds and it felt almost refreshing. Everything looked so different now, more progressed and somehow just as beautiful as I'd left it almost twenty years prior. I was excited for this new journey. Not only was I out of the cemetery I was going to be traveling the country with four substantial food sources.
