Jack's POV

'Ugh what is wrong with me..? A bit of blood and I go into a frenzy..'

Jack had made is way out of the office, and was sitting outside on the curb, trying to get some fresh air, and to calm his nerves. He felt bad that he had just walked out on the live stream..but he also didn't want to lose control and start drinking the blood of his friends. He was puzzled...he's been a vampire for a while now...and blood had never really bothered him unless he was really hungry. But Mark's....something about Mark's blood...

Jack caught himself licking his lips...and he had to shake his head and push the thought away. His fangs hadn't yet retracted back into his gums...he could still smell the sweet scent of Mark's blood in the air.

"God dammit.." He said to himself..tracing his tongue along the sharp ends of his fangs.

What had gotten into him? He had no problem being around Mark before...well, until he cut himself. Why had he pinned him in the hall...just to get a whiff of his scent? Or was it something else? 

He sat there for a while, pondering whether he should go back in, or go find himself a snack, to curve his cravings.

"They'll be finishing the stream  soon...I better go find a deer or something.."

Jack got up, looked around, making sure there was no one around that could easily see him sprinting off across the street, and into a small patch of forest, at inhuman speeds.

He ran through the trees for a bit...there was a damp smell of newly fallen rain on the leaves under his feet. It was late fall, and the sun was starting to set..making his bright green hair look like a darker earthy tone. As the sun set, the air became cooler...but he paid no mind...he was already freezing. Jack suddenly stopped at the edge of a clearing, spotting a small herd of deer that seemed to be munching on the yellowing grass. His eyes scanned for the biggest one..and he breathed in heavily, the scent of blood filling his nostrils.

 He hated doing this...it made him feel less human...and more of a monster...even though he had never drank from a human directly...it took him a very long time to get used to drinking blood. And even longer for him to get over that he no longer enjoyed his favorite foods...like pizza...or cake. Jack lowered his gaze...narrowing his sight on the deer, his deep blue eyes fading into just solid soul sucking black ones. Then...

He pounced.

In one swoop, he had taken the deer down...and hissed as his fangs sprang out, warning the deer that he was a predator...and that this would be its last moments. Jack leaned over, near the base of the deer's neck, and bit down. Lodging his fangs into its skin and sucking it lifeless.

After a moment, with his belly full, and cravings subsided, he stood up..wiping his lower lip of any left over blood. Jack looked up at the sky...nearly dark, as he started running back for Mark's office.

Mark's POV

"And thanks everybody so much for watching, and joining us in the stream...thank you to all those who donated, and hopefully we will be doing another one of these pretty soon. Bye-Bye!"

Mark and his friends waved to the camera, as he stopped the stream and turned everything off. He sighed deeply, rubbing his hands over his face. Ever since he came back in the room, he couldn't stop thinking about Jack...and what had happened in the hall.

"Hey Mark..you okay?" Ethan asked, putting a hand on his friends shoulder.

"Yeah I'm fine...just tired.." Mark smiled at him.

"Why don't you go check on Jack.." He suggested. "Tyler and I will clean up here, and I'll start editing the videos I need to get done."

"Really? Awh you guys are great.." Mark was lucky to have such great friends.. and he hoped that his one Irish friend was okay. Mark nodded to them as he stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him.

He paused for a moment as he looked at the wall that he had been pinned up against a few hours before. He shook his head and headed downstairs, wondering where Jack had gone.

"Jack?" Mark called out as his feet hit the bottom step.

"In here Mark."

He turned toward the voice, and found Jack sitting on the couch in the small seating area to the left of the stairs.

"Hey man, you alright...? What was all that about earlier?" Mark asked as he stepped in front of him.

"I told ya not to speak of it." Jack said, sitting up.

"Why not? Obviously something is wrong..." Mark said, becoming a bit more worried.

"I can't..." Jack sighed and stood up, to meet his friends gaze. "I can't tell ya..."

"What do you mean you can't tell me?"

"Mark it means jus' what it means...I can't tell ya...but, just know, I'm fine...no reason to worry yer pretty little head."

"No, I will worry." Mark continued, "You pinned me up against the wall and basically molested my neck...I have a right to know what the fuck that was about."

"Mark, it was nothing!" Jack said, raising his voice a little.

"That was NOT nothing! You freaked out over blood...witch I never knew you were squeamish to, and I...I don't know what I saw...but-"

"What? What did you see?" Jack interrupted.

"I saw your eyes change..! They turned black...and-...it freaked me the hell out! What the hell was that Jack? What WAS that?!"

Mark watched as the Irishman's eyes widened..like he had said something he wasn't supposed too. Jack was silent for a moment...but then he looked Mark straight in the eye.

"I can't tell you here..."

"What?"

"Mark...dammit! I can't tell you here! You want to know?! Then it has to be when no one else is around!" He yelled, and Mark watched as his friend stormed off and pushed past him.

He must have hit a soft spot....and he felt a bit bad for yelling, but, now...he was anxious to find out what Jack really meant, so he decided to follow after him.

"Jack wait...we need to be alone? Fine..let's go back to my place...Ethan and Tyler will be here for a little longer, we will be alone there...well, besides Chica."

"Fine." He heard him say, and watched as he walked out the door.

Wait...why is he walking? They drove here...although the office isn't far, he didn't want Jack to walk alone in the dark.

But, as soon as he stepped out the door to go after him, Jack was gone.
