Fallyn's POV

~~~

"Leave him alone and calm the fuck down! I don't care who you are or if you're some kind of mythical creature, I don't want you treating Frankie like that, now or ever. He's my friend and I asked him to bite me, he had my permission."

Gerard was pushing his boundaries as a human, vampire and every other thing he happened to be.

"He's your friend too. Why would you treat your friend like that? He wasn't going to hurt me, Frank would never hurt me and you know it."

I'd had enough of watching Gerard yell at Frank.
Frankie was my friend, I trusted him and I'd stand up for him whenever Gerard felt like being an asshole.

I didn't understand why Frank wouldn't stand up for himself, he's known Gee for ages and shouldn't have a problem with telling him when he was being a jerk.
He stopped yelling at him and looked at me, I knew I wasn't a very threatening sight but I wasn't in a good mood and that was enough.

It was strange yelling at Gerard Way, a guy who I'd idolised since My Chems first album but in the end he was just a guy.
Gerard let out a long and exasperated sigh then spoke through clenched teeth.

"I'm sorry Frankie and I'm sorry Fallyn but we agreed a while ago that no one was going to bite you."

He didn't even look like he was trying to be nice to Frank, he tried to give me a strained smile though.
I accepted the apology with a nod and sat down on the bed next to Frank.

"Thank you. He didn't hurt me and I was the one who asked him to bite me, I wanted to know what it felt like." My neck stung slightly, Frank hadn't gotten a chance to heal the wound so it was still open and bleeding.

"Fine, I'll stop. I don't want this happening ever again though. Did Frank mention he has trouble controlling himself when feeding?" As Gerard talked to me I pressed the shirt to my neck so I could wipe away any leftover blood, the shirt was ruined no matter what anyway.

"No, why what happens?" I looked at Frank who was sitting there quietly and staring at his feet.

"The second he tastes blood he loses control of himself and goes savage." Frank looked completely fine to me and I was unharmed and alive.

"He's okay now though." I wasn't being doubtful of him, I just wanted to know what happened.

"Because its you. He's nearly killed about twelve different people. The only reason you're okay now is because he got something to eat yesterday."
I still thought Gee was trying to be a bit of a jerk even though he seemed sincere right now.

"But I didn't kill her yesterday, I didn't even get close. I'm in control now." Except for some blood on his chin Frank looked totally normal, he didn't look like the kind of person who would intentionally or unintentionally kill someone.

Gerard didn't listen to Frankie and kept coming up with excuses to be mad at him anyway.

"I'm angry for a couple of reasons. We agreed on no one telling you 'til Saturday and he ignored a group decision."
It can't be that bad, he ignored them only once, it's not like he did it with plans to piss them off.

"Then he bit you, which meant he'd risked killing you."

I've already said this, I trusted him and I don't think Frank would ever kill me, he was my friend.

"What's the worse thing thing that could happen if I died? I was trying to kill myself when you found me anyway, I'd only get what I wanted. Couldn't you use your magic healing thingy to bring me back?"

If it worked when they pulled me out of the water and it worked when I had my wrists cut by Evangeline then it should work with something like that.

"That means he also forgot to mention once someone has been killed by a vampire the only way they can brought back is if they're turned."

During the long conversation we had about what vampires could do Frank failed to tell me about the killed by a vampire thing.
What the hell would I do if I became a vampire?

Probably spazz out, the thought of never being able to die didn't sound as appealing to me as it would for some. There's gonna be some stage in life when you've had enough, there is such a thing as living too long.

Heck, I've only been alive for sixteen years and I'm already tired of it.
To be honest I don't think I'd enjoy waking up as a vampire, sure the abilities seem cool and I'd be able to deal with drinking blood but not being able to die would suck.

As would not ageing, sixteen forever, there's tons of stuff I'd be unable to do because of it.
I knew they weren't offering to turn me and they'd say no if I asked (I won't be asking), I just couldn't stop myself from imagining how things would work.

"You mean?" Why can't I speak from my mouth like I do from my mind.
I sound much more intelligent in my head.

"Yep, it would either be vampire time or you'd be dead and Frank would be responsible for whatever happened."

Gerard crossed his arms and sat on the sofa just across from the bed as Frank started talking to me again.

"Fallyn, I'd never risk biting you if I thought I was gonna kill you or hurt you, I swear."

Frank didn't have to say that, I believed him no matter what.
I was dangerously trusting of people when they earned my loyalty, another one of my stupid flaws.

"We can talk this over on the bus. Fallyn, go have a shower to get off any leftover blood then get dressed. Frank you know the drill."

Without saying anything Frankie got off the bed, grabbed some clothes from his already packed suitcase and left the room.
I yawned and stretched my arms then winced a bit when the barely closed wound on my neck reopened.

"I'd heal it for you but it's impossible to heal another vampires bite marks. Let me look at it and see if it needs a bandage or something." I nodded and moved the hair away from my neck, some hairs stuck to the blood and I had to pull them away. Gerard put his hands on my neck to look at the wound and I flinched, his hands were cold.

"Ow, aren't you worried you could make it infected?" He laughed and I couldn't understand why, for some reason my sentence was entertaining.

"Vampires are sterile. Uh, not in the sex way though, we're just very clean." He took his hands off my neck and stood up, still looking awkward from his sentence.

"When you get in the shower try not to put too much soap on it, otherwise it'll sting. Since Frankie was the one who bit you he'll have to heal it, either that or you can wait till it goes away naturally."

I tucked a piece of messy blonde hair behind my ear and stood then wavered slightly, it's been a while since I stood up and my legs felt wobbly. Gee put a hand on my shoulder to steady me and I gave him a grateful smile then walked towards the bathroom.

"Try to be quick if you can. It's nearly eight and we have to leave by nine. Mikey and I are gonna try to get home before Christmas to see the family." I paused in the doorway, I'd almost forgotten about Christmas, no wonder, it hurt to think about it. During most holiday seasons I'd stay at Kat's house and not come home for a week.

Mum would have hillbilly parties with her redneck friends and I didn't want to stay there and watch them get drunk. Mind you I did nearly the exact same thing with Kat, except we didn't act like rowdy morons, we'd giggle, watch some movies then crash.

"Why don't you catch a plane?" It was the obvious thing to do and they'd get back to New Jersey within hour instead of days.
Gee shrugged and put his hands in his pockets while walking to the window.

"Mikey's afraid of enclosed spaces so flying freaks him out."

"What about when you go to other countries, like Japan?" It was also funny since Mikey was a vampire who shouldn't be afraid of anything, he wasn't required to.

"He'll avoid sleeping for a week or two then once we're on the plane he takes a shitload of sleeping pills and naps the while flight." That seemed reasonable and I knew since he's immortal overdosing on sleeping pills wouldn't kill him.

"Anyway, I'm gonna get some Starbucks, have you got any requests? Coffee, muffins, donuts?" I thought of the amazing drink Frank got for me the other day, what was it called?

Oh yeah.
"A caramel latte, please." Gee nodded and opened up the huge window.

Why's he standing that close to an open window?
"Gerard what are you doing?" He was gonna hurt himself if he fell out the window, this buildings like five story's.

"I'm going to get food from Starbucks." He looked at me as if I were the crazy one standing near a huge open window.

"You realise you're standing next to a window not a door right?" He nodded then moved closer to the edge while I was on the verge of having a spazz out.

"I'm a vampire, remember? I'll be fine, it's not even high up. I guess this is a perk of you knowing the truth, it's hard to get in elevators and all the other stuff when you can do this."

I blushed from embarrassment, I'd forgotten they wouldn't die from merely jumping out a window.
"Don't shower for too long, we haven't got much time 'til we have to leave and get on the bus."

Gerard stepped out the window as if he were casually walking down the stairs and I couldn't help but run over and see if he was okay. He was standing on the grass, completely fine and unharmed.

My mouth fell open, even if they were vampires it was still weird seeing him safe and alive after jumping out a window.
He waved at me and I waved back then without moving a muscle he disappeared from the lawn.

Can they teleport as well?

I stared out the window for another moment then went to the bathroom so I could have a shower and wash all the blood off me. I stepped into the hot stream of water and watched as the blood swirled down the drain.

Why does it end up nearly every morning with me having to wash off blood?

This happened yesterday and I don't think I prefer it anymore now.
I tried not to waste too much time, I was already clean so all I had to do was clean my neck. There was a knock on the door and I shut off the shower, so I could hear who it was on the other side.

"Fallyn, are you alright? I'm really sorry I shouldn't have bitten you, I could have accidentally hurt you or something worse."

Frank sounded sad and guilty all at once, it wasn't even his fault. I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around me then started pulling clothes out of my bag on the sink.

"It's not your fault and you shouldn't feel sorry. I was being pushy and I asked you to bite me and I know you wouldn't kill or hurt me, ever."

I got dressed in black and red skinny leg jeans, and an All Time Low band shirt. I zipped up the duffle bag, hitched it up my left shoulder then unlocked and opened the bathroom door.
Frank stumbled backwards slightly, apparently he'd been leaning against the door and didn't realise I was about to open it.

"I shouldn't have bitten you though. It's my fangs and I'm responsible for them. I know you asked me to and I was sorta reluctant."

He was apologising so much I couldn't help but smile, him apologising to me was the only time I've ever seen him look sincere.
"Chill out, it's okay."
Yeah, I was smiling, he looked cute when freaking out over something so trivial.

"It's not okay. I was hungry as well and it definitely clouded my judgment." I giggled as he continued to apologise, he didn't look like he planned to stop anytime soon and I sat on the couch to tie up my shoes.

"So what, you saved my life before. It's the least I could do and it's not like it hurt, although it tickled a bit."

Once my shoes were tied I stood up with my bag on my shoulder and followed Frank to the hallway.
There were a whole bunch of suitcases outside doors and I assumed they belonged to the band.

"It doesn't upset you being used as a human juice box?" By giggled turned into flat out laughter, I'd categorised Frank as the jokester of the band, not the one who cares about everyone's opinions.

"I'm alright Frankie." He looked like he wanted to say more but stopped for the moment while Mikey, Bob and Ray came into the hall.
Mikey was smirking slightly but Bob and Ray's faces were indecipherable.

It was weird seeing Mikey smiling, it wasn't just weird it was a rare occurrence, the whole time I've been with them he hasn't smiled once. The door Frank had closed behind him opened and Gee walked out with paper bags and a coffee tray.

How the hell did he get into the room?

I saw him jump out the window, there's no way he should be able to get back in so easily.
He handed me a coffee and I recognised the smell of caramel latte, if all coffee tasted like this I'd drink it more often.

Mikey grabbed the handle on his bag and came over to Gerard for the coffee.
Frank had told me they didn't need to eat and I was confused as to why they ate if they didn't have to.

"Because we can still taste the food." Mikey said before taking a sip from the Starbucks emblemed cup.

"How did he know what what I said?" I wasn't asking anyone in particular, just whoever would answer the question.

"Good job Frankie, you forgot to tell her we could read minds." My cheeks went a million shades of crimson as I thought of all the embarrassing things I'd thought. Oh god, that means Frank knows everything I've ever thought about him while being on the bus... Which means he knows what I'm thinking right now.

Shit! Brain stop thinking! Shut up!
La, la, la, la, la.

Wait did that mean he knew what I was thinking when he had his mouth on my neck?!

Okay stop thinking back to la, la, la, la.

"We don't get every thought you have. If you're thinking openly enough and loudly, I guess that's the correct word, then we'll be able to hear you." Gerard said, carefully balancing the coffee on the same hand he held a bunch of full paper bags. Please tell me I haven't been thinking 'loudly' about Frank.

"I knew he was gonna cave and bite her." Mikey laughed and continued to drink his coffee while walking back to Ray and Bob.
That would explain the smirk he had.

Instinctively I put my hand over the marks on the right side of my neck, they didn't sting it felt more like a bruise. I could feel the twin holes and winced when I pushed to hard on the cut.

"We should check out, I think I heard the bus outside." Gerard gave a paper bag to each of us then started pulling his suitcase towards the elevator. I could smell muffins from the bag and my stomach growled.
The guys followed Gerard down the hall and I froze when I remembered something.

"Peanut."

Frank stopped next to me and started laughing, I can't believe we almost forgot her.
He opened Gee's bedroom door and the small fox came running out of the room, she's grown really fast. In a matter of days she went from looking like a baby to almost passing for an adult.
She chirped at Frank and I before running down the hallway to follow the guys who would be waiting at the elevator by now.

"It's nice to know she missed me." I said as I watched her tail disappear around a corner.

Frank laughed again and we walked to the elevator, the thought of being left here wasn't very appealing. Gerard was holding the door open for us and Bob was patting and talking to Peanut.
We checked out of The Bloody Evangeline and I was glad to say goodbye, I never wanted to see this hotel ever again.

Everyone has their creepy story to tell and I now have one, more than enough of a tale thank you.

I stopped for a second to glare at the hotel sign while luggage was loaded onto the huge black bus.
I fucking hate haunted hotels! I thought at it while the guys walked up the bus steps.

Something flickered past a window and I jumped, this place is seriously fucked up on all fronts. We better not be staying in another one of these places, I'll go crazy if I have to, it was bad enough happening once.

"Fal's are you coming?" Frank was standing on the stairs and looking at me, expecting an answer.

"Fuck yes, get me the get me the hell out of here, now."

He grinned and I took his hand and walked up the bus steps as the doors hissed and closed behind me.
