The Keyboardist's Secret

Chapter 6

Zim's P.O.V

I stare at Stephen as he stays quiet. His eyes go dark again and two of his teeth elongate and turn into what look like vampire vangs. Those fangs you see in movies and books. But he can't be a vampire anyway, they are fictional. Stephen lunges at me and pushes both of his sharp teeth into my neck. It hurts at first but then I relax. Why am I not freaking out? I feel him sucking the blood out of the vein he chose in my neck. Wait, snap back to reality. This isn't normal. "Stephen." I huff out, pushing him away gently.

"What?" He replies, looking disappointed at my action.

"What do you mean what? Aren't you going to explain what the fuck just happened?" I question.

"You won't believe me."

"Try me." I challenge him.

"It's simple and obvious. I'm a vampire."

I roll my eyes. "See! You don't believe me!" He cries in distress.

"Vampires don't exist. What are you trying to pull?" I glare at him.

"Nothing, Tim!" He places his hand on mine lovingly, "I'm telling the truth." I look him in the eyes and he stares back. I'm just glad the black has gone away. He does seem sincere though. It's just so hard to believe. I just saw him uh, transform? into a vampire before my own eyes but I still can't.

"So what's with the whole eye thing?" I frown.

"It happens when I, urm, want blood. I go into a hunting mode."

"So you wanted my blood?"

"Yes," he pauses, "and I got it."

He gives me a mischievous grin and I throw a pillow at his face. "You're crazy." I giggle.

"So does anyone else know?" I ask.

He scratches the back of his head and looks away from me, "Just Ginger because, well, we are alike."

"Ginger's a vampire too?" I gasp quietly. Stephen nods.

Am I really believing all this?
