something new

well that's just fang-tastic

lincoln was groggy at first, but he woke easily to the taste of blood in his mouth, but unlike normally, it tasted... sweet, as if someone had filled it with sugar, he sat up, realizing he had fallen asleep on the couch, his headache was gone now, but where had the blood come from, he ran his tongue along his teeth gathering the rest of the blood from them, as his tongue slid across his teeth, he felt it, on of his canines where loose, but those were his adult teeth, his only baby teeth left were his molars, he slowly stood up, not sure if  his headache would return or not, he walked to his parents room, which was at the back of the living room, when he reached the door, his mpom opened i

"how'd you know i was coming" lincoln asked

"we can sense where others are, remember" rita asked

"oh, right" lincoln blushed, having already forgoten

"and judging by the fact that i can smell mouth blood, id say you got punched in the teeth, oooor... your getting your first fang"

"yeah, why'd none of this happen before my doctors apointment" he asked

"luck, it could have just as easily started before the apointment, but we got you there in time, seeing as though the third stage kicked in just as we got home"

"third stage, you mean theres more than one"?

"theres a few, the first, is already finished, where you got sick and felt like you would throw upevery time you stood, the second, you became pale, the third, your senses increase, and your fangs start to come in, the fourth, non living transformation, things like a few leaves blowing in the wing, water flowin, a small fire, simple things, the fifth, you'll be able to learn how to turn into animals, the sixth, people, and the seventh... well i dont really know beyond that, not even pop-pop has reached that point"

"so it'll be a long time before i get to that point, wont it" lincoln asked

"not exactly, it varies from person to person, lori and me are at the same stage, but it took her about two years, and it took me 8 months lucys two stages ahead of you, and has had symptoms for about two weeks, but thats because she was introduced to dark magic" rita explained

"dark magic"? lincoln asked

"things like voodoo, ouija boards, summoning, stuff like that, if you want to be sped along, ask her if she'll help you"

"okay, i will" he said as he left her room, as he turned to the stairs, he noticed lynn standing in the kitchen "when'd you get home" he asked

"dude, its three in the morning, you've been asleep all day" she said, taking a bite out of her sub

"oh, why didn't you wake me up" he asked

"we did try, you wouldn't get up, we eventried getting luna to play a riff right into your ear, nothing"

"huh, well, do you know if lucys up"? he asked

She looked lincoln up and down, why would he want to hang out with theduchess of darkness, not wanting to learn more, she told him she was in their room, and, after thanking her, ran up the stairs to talk to her, almost tripping a few steps from the top

when he did reach the room, he felt a strange energy pulsating from the room, an energy that had always been there, but had never felt it, it almost felt like a slow river, but with thousands of grains of sand, gently brushing past him on there way down the path to the ocean

he knocked loudly, and heard something drop to the floor with a groan, before  a set of footsteps approached the door, lucy spoke from the other side "hey lincoln" lucy said, before opening the door, and letting the boy in
