Matt's POV:

I sighed, and laid on my bed upset.
I felt, scared, disappointed, and painful. My body still hurts, and I just want to get away from everything..
I glanced at my window.
The curtains were slightly drifting, gently blowing in the wind. I slowly get up and walk over to the window. I pull back the curtains slightly and push down my window. I pull back quickly as my hands start to burn and I wince in pain as I hold my wrist.

I can't believe I have to live like this for the rest of my life!
I can't ever see the sun ever again!
I get so angry and punch my wall, my knuckles burning with pain.

I drop to my knees on the floor and squeak in agony. My hand quivers, and I try blowing on it to ease the pain.

Then I look up at it.
The hole I made.

The hole is about the size of a bowling ball, and I can see the wood and insulation inside. I jump to my feet and panic. I just made a huge ass hole in my wall! There could be spiders or beetles inside!
And Edd's going to be so mad at me!
I run around my room and grab my wall mirror, and place it in front of the hole.
Finally, it's centered and looks almost like nothing happened
Then I stare into the mirror..

I can't see myself..

I sigh and lay back down on the bed.
Maybe I can find something around the house to eat, or at least try to, since I have nothing better to do.
I then hear a knock.
I sit up quickly and stare at my door.
"Come in?" I say with hesitation.
The door slowly creaks open and to my suprise, it's Tom.
"Tom?" I asked.
Tom shrugged.
"Can I ask you a few things?" Tom said, nervously scratching the back of his head.
I nodded, and Tom shut the door behind him.

"I didn't want to say this in front of Edd, but know you guys were looking through on how to cure you and so far you guys aren't doing anything about it." Tom said, trying to sound calm.
I jump to my feet.
"We have! It just hurts." I said, getting defensive.
Tom flinches and backs up against the door in suprise, placing his hand on the door knob.
"I know that, but have you guys tried other things?" Tom asked, looking uncomfortable.
I gave him a confused look.
"What's the rush anyways?" I asked, Tom sighed.
"Edd told me what you did." Tom said sternly.
I quiet myself, I held my arm nervously.
"I do not someone ending up seriously hurt because of you. Especially Edd." Tom said.

Tom then turned the door knob and started to walk out.
I sighed.
"Why did you have to tell me this right now?" I asked, slightly annoyed.
"Because," Tom said.
"I just want other options out there, eventually you won't be able to control yourself." Tom said, and shut the door behind him.

I plopped down on my bed with a huff.
"I can control it.." I mumbled to myself.
"It's just hard sometimes.."
I groaned and slid under my blankets, trying to block out the boredom and hunger, and instead try to sleep.

I fell asleep for a few hours, and woke up very weak. It was really hard to sit up, and I felt like the blanket was a rock on top of me. I winced as I sat up on my bed, the window was shining slightly into my room, I felt hot and exhausted.
I decided to walk out of my room and looked around the house for something to do.
I grasped my door frame, but my hand felt sensitive and fell hot to the touch. I quickly took my hand away.

I was walking around the house when, I saw Edd's laptop on the kitchen counter.
I was kinda curious, not about how to turn back, or what Edd searched up, but what I could do.
I searched up,
"what powers do vampires have,"
And found a couple of things.
Superhuman strength?
Shapeshifting?
And what is 'hipoosism??'
Hypnotizing??

Weird.

But one thing caught my attention.
"Animal Control."

I stood there kinda confused, but then I searched up what kinds of animals vampires control.
Wolves? I dunno where they are.
Flies? Ew!
Dogs? I'm allergic!
Butterflies? Pretty, but I haven't seen them in a while..
Bats? Creepy!

Cats? Wait, cats?

"Meow!"

I suddenly look to the floor, where Ringo is sitting, staring at me.
This was unexpected.
"Hi, kitty, kitty!" I said, holding out my hand towards Ringo. She sniffed my hand, and purred and started rubbing her soft fur against my hand.
I looked around, and I turned back towards Ringo.

I booped Ringo's nose.
"Vampirearize!" I said.
Ringo mews and licks my finger.

"Hmm.."
"Ringo, I command you to do my bidding!" I said, petting her.
Nothing.
I pick her up, holding her in both of my hands, and stared at her in the eyes.
"Ringo," I said, "you WILL listen to me."
Ringo then paused for a second, her right ear twitched, and stared blankly at me.
I slowly placed her down on the floor, she sat down, and stared at me.
I started getting a little uncomfortable.
"O-Okay, Ringo. Knock it off," I nervously said.
I snapped my fingers in front of her eyes.
Nothing.
"Ringo, spin in a circle."
A few second pass, and then she suddenly stood up, spun in one circle, and sat back down, staring at me.
I gasped and was about to test it more when-
"Ringo! There you are, my baby girl!" Edd said, walking into the kitchen, and picking up Ringo cheerfully, kissing her fluffy face.
I sweat nervously, and Edd smiled at me.
"Hey, Matt," Edd said, "you okay?"
I nodded and tried to smile back.
Edd had Ringo in his arms, and went around the kitchen making coffee.
Ringo staring at me the entire time.
"You want some?" Edd asks.
I gave him a confused look, and he waves a coffee cup.
"O-Oh, uh, no, I'm fine," I said.
Edd hid his worried glance and continued making coffee. Ringo was on Edd's shoulder, staring into my soul.
Ringo jumped off Edd's shoulder, onto the table, and jumped on me, sitting on my lap.
"Heh, looks like you have a special admirer," Edd said.
While Edd waited for the coffee to pour into the cup, he leaned on the table and tried calling for Ringo.
Making kissy sounds, tongue clicks, but Ringo doesn't react.
"Huh," Edd said, "she doesn't usually do this, do you think she's okay?"
I nodded, and picked up Ringo, pushing her towards Edd.
"Go love Edd, Ringo," I said, jokingly.
And just like that.
Ringo stared at Edd, and started rubbing against him, purring.
Edd smiled and chuckled.
"Wow, how'd you do that?" Edd asks, but I just shrug it off.
The coffee machine was done pouring and Edd got up, a loveable, purring, cat in his arms.
He took a swig of his coffee, and smiled at me, before walking into the living room.

What have I done.
