The Lost Boys

Gee woke to find Frank stood at the window, watching the sun sink into the ocean.

"They'll be coming for us...all of us..."

He watched as Frank nodded then left the room to check on his brother.

"Andy, wake up."

He said, reaching over to shake the young boy gently.

The sun was disappearing and the town's nightlife was coming out to play. People were starting to flock to the boardwalk and pier as the music was turned up and the flashing lights turned on.

In the cave, all was still as the last flickers of sunlight filtered through an opening in the ceiling, highlighting the plant roots that grew down into the space. Soon that light flickered out, and the inhabitants of the cave awoke.

Pete roared as he woke, waking Mike and Billie-Joe, and then they were off. They flew out through the tunnels and into the night sky. They would normally be headed to the pier to choose the night's meal, but tonight they had other plans.

Flying over the water, over the pier and all the partying humans below, they headed toward Frank's house, and the fight they were really looking forward to having.

Patrick came out of the kitchen and saw Frank coming down the stairs.

"We gotta barricade the doors and windows."

Patrick nodded and they started moving furniture.

"What's going on here?"

"Grandpa..."

Frank looked at Patrick.

"We just decided to rearrange the living room a bit. Oh and that lady called. You have a date tonight."

"I do? Guess I must have been higher than I thought I was the other day."

"Yeah and she said to be there by seven and its six thirty so you should get going."

"Okay."

He disappeared upstairs. Frank went to check on Gee and Andy while they waited for their grandfather to leave. When he entered the bedroom he had a shock. Gee was there holding off the Frog brothers while Andy was behind him snarling and trying to claw them.

"Please?..."

Gee sobbed slightly, keeping himself between the small vamp and the two humans who both had wooden stakes in their hands.

"He's just a little boy."

"Little boy huh? Looks like a blood sucked demon to me."

"That's enough! We have more dangerous creatures to deal with than these two. Go help Patrick, but do not do anything extreme till our grandfather leaves."

The brothers sneered again and then left.

"Are you alright?"

Gee swallowed shakily and nodded, chewing on his bottom lip. Then shook his head with a sob.

"Sun's down...they're gonna be here soon."

"Yeah, we are just waiting for grandpa to leave."

Andy had calmed down a bit, so Frank walked up to Gee. He touched his cheek.

"We are gonna get through this."

Gee leaned into the touch, closing his eyes.

"You don't know Pete...he won't stop, and he won't go down easy."

He opened his eyes to look at Frank, tears slipping down his pale cheeks.

"I'm scared Frank."

"I'll never let them hurt you, I promise."

Frank leaned in and kissed the frightened pale boy.

Gee melted into the kiss, clinging to Frank for the strength and comfort he offered.

Suddenly barking started up outside and Gee pulled back.

"Is that your dog?"

"Oh no Patrick!"

Frank ran down stairs and saw his grandfather driving off. He saw Patrick run out the door and try to get the dog untied from the wooden fence. Brendon and Ryan were screaming for him to hurry. Frank ran out the door to help him.

Gee went to the door and looked out, shaking as he knew what that dog surely knew. He looked off toward the direction of the caves and panic filled him.

"FRANK. THEY'RE COMING!!"

He could see the three dark shapes against the night sky...they were moving so fast.

"HURRY UP!"

He screamed.

They finally got the dog free and the three of them ran for the house. Frank looked up and saw something dark against the clouds. They ran into the house and Frank slammed the door. The boys pushed the furniture in front of it and then all moved to the center of the room.

"Upstairs now Gee, protect Andy!"

Gee made it up the stairs just as the fireplace exploded.

Billie-Joe and Mike flew in with a roar as all the lights went out, Mike knocking Frank violently across the room in the process.

Gee gasped and dragged Andy into one of the bedroom and into a closet, closing the doors and pulling him down to hide in the miscellaneous clothes that were there.

Billie-Joe advanced on the frog brothers, following them quickly from the main room while Mike hid in the dark rafters and laughed, teasing the remaining human boy who had rushed to Frank's side...he guessed it must be Frank's brother.

"What do we do Frankie!?"

It was the first time that Patrick had called him that since this whole fuck up started. It made Frank protective.

"Don't worry Ricky, we'll get them."

Billie-Joe stalked after the two human boys as they backed through the house.

"There's nowhere to run boys. You killed Trè...so now I'm gonna rip your throats out and everyone who's ever known you."

He grinned evilly, showing off his wickedly sharp fangs.

"Patrick run!"

Frank used his brother as a distraction and charged after the vampire as he went for his brother.

Mike leapt for the boy but spun at the last second to grab at Frank, laughing hysterically as he threw him away like a rag doll then turn back toward his meal.

"Fuck!"

Patrick ran up the stairs.

"BRENDON! RYAN!"

Bille-Joe chuckled as he backed the two boys into a bathroom.

"I think he'll have to handle that himself...don't you?"

He grinned as he pushed the door mostly closed behind him, trapping the boys in the small space. He glanced at the bathtub and laughed, reaching out and grabbing both of the human boys by their shirtfronts.

"Garlic doesn't work boys."

"No, but holy water plus garlic does dip shit!"

Ryan and Brendon turned and pushed the vampire into the tub.

Billie-Joe howled as he started thrashing, his skin burning and bubbling. He grabbed for the boys with bony clawed fingers.

"AAAAHHHHH!"

They pushed the vampire further under causing him to let go of them, then they ran out of the bathroom to find Patrick.

Mike was watching the boy from the shadows. He could hear his fast heartbeat, smell his fear.

"Gonna eat you little boy."

He whispered before darting to another shadow.

Patrick looked up and saw the fairy lights that were hanging up to show off his grandfather's work. He grabbed the stake out of his belt and took a deep breath, waiting for the exact moment to strike.

Mike smirked...the bloodbag thought he could actually beat him. He moved to another shadow.

"Gonna suck you dry."

He hissed.

Patrick was trying to be patient, but he was trembling.

"I can smell your fear boy...gonna taste so good."

Mike had always liked playing with his food.

The shadows were hiding the blood sucking creature too well. Patrick kept squinting trying to see him.

Mike moved in closer, still hidden.

"So sweet."

He whispered before pouncing on the boy quickly from behind.

Patrick turned around and screaming in the vampire's face, he pulled up his gun filled with holy water and sprayed it in his eyes. The vampire let go of him and fell backwards. Patrick didn't even hesitate, he lunged at him with the stake embedding it in his chest. The vampire staggered backwards getting tangled in the fairy lights and electrocuting himself till he caught on fire. Patrick watched the whole thing mezmorized.

Mike screamed as he shook and burned, feeling his blood boil in his veins until it all became too much and his head literally exploded from the pressure, spraying blood and brains around the room.

Patrick kind fo snapped out of it when the offal hit him. He then ran up the stairs to puke in the bathroom.

"Oh man!"

Bad move on his part. He started to get dizzy and collapse on the floor. He heard a chuckle from somewhere. He looked up and around in the shadows now that he knew where they like to hide.

"F-F-Fuck you Vamp-pire."

Pete laughed as he watched the boy pass out...he would have him, but he had to deal with Frank first. He left the boy on the floor and went on the hunt.

The dinner was wonderful and Thorn was so well behaved, but Linda just could not shake what her son had said to her. She sat there picking at the delicious meal that Grant worked so hard for.

"Are you alright Linda? Is the food not good?"

"No Grant it's lovely, you are lovely, I just...Patrick came into the store earlier and he said something crazy and then he...well you know teenagers."

"You seem awfully upset to just brush this off. Just what did he say?"

"It's so silly. He's been reading these monster comics with vampires in them and..."

Grant's brow rose.

"Vampires?"

"Yeah, like I said silly teenagers stuff."

"What did he say?"

"He said that...oh this is so...let's just enjoy our meal."

"Linda..."

Grant reached out and took Linda's hand. It was slightly trembling.

"...you are clearly bothered by this. You should talk about it."

"He said that there are vampires in the town and that they are after him and Frankie. He wanted me to come home."

"Perhaps we should then."

"What?"

"It's important to take care of family. You are so loving and caring and that is what drew me to you. Your maternal streak."

"Oh Grant."

"Grant leaned in and kissed her.

"Now, let's get going. You will feel better once this is all sorted out."

"You are right as usual."

*

"Come out Pete, I know you are here."

Pete grinned from the shadows.

"It didn't have to go down like this Frankie..."

He flitted to a different shadow, faster than the eye could see.

"We should've been brothers you and I...we could've ruled this town."

"I have a brother and he's better that you fuckheads ever could be."

"Oh he's gonna be mine soon enough, but you've taken from me and now you've sealed your fate."

Pete shot quickly through the dark, punching Frank on the way to another shadow.

Frank spit out blood and growled, his eyes glowing red.

"You will not touch my little brother you piece of undead shit!"

"Ahh...there you are Frank..."

Pete laughed.

"Now we can fight as equals...though I'm still gonna win."

He flew at Frank with his teeth and claws bared.

Frank flew forward and they crashed against each other in the air in the middle of the house. Frank was snarling and angry, but Pete had a manic smile on his face.

"What the fuck are you so happy about bitch?!"

"Cos I know something you don't know."

Pete sung flatly before driving Frank back into a wall so hard that the plaster cracked.

Frank gritted his teeth at the impact. It hurt a fuck ton, but he wasn't going to give in to this fanged asshole.

"What's that Fuck face?"

"That would be telling."

Pete smirked, pulling Frank from the wall then slamming him back again. The window next to them shattered, glass exploding everywhere.

Frank looked behind Pete and saw the door was open to his grandfather's taxidermy room. He pushed Pete with all his strength back and aimed for it.

Pete laughed as he was pushed backward until the second he looked over his shoulder and saw the couple dozen deer antlers that he was being pushed into. His eyes widened and he started to try to push back, but Frank had momentum on his side.

Frank knew this was it. He would impale Pete and then he, Gee and Andy would be free. They could hunt for the head vampire together and be...

"NO!"

From the side Patrick came racing over and pushed Frank. Pete fell hard to the ground only nicked by the antlers.

"Patrick, why did you...PATRICK!"

Frank fell to the ground as he saw that Patrick was pierced by a small antler.

Pete looked up and if his heart had been beating, he was sure it would've stopped.

"No..."

He practically whimpered as he scrambled to his feet and straight to the boy's side, his eyes filled with anguish.

"You can't die...please."

He gently cupped Patrick's soft cheek, as tears he hadn't even shed over his own death spilled down his.

"Wait...what's going on?"

Frank was confused. Pete was a blood thristy monster. He was incapable of love and caring...right?"

Pete turned his eyes to Frank...they weren't red anymore...he looked human.

"I...I never wanted him to get hurt. The first time I saw him on the pier, remember?...when you were following Gee?..."

He laughed weakly then looked back at the still boy.

"I thought then that I just wanted him for a meal, or a night..."

He shook his head and looked back at Frank.

"But that's not it. When I saw him again I knew; I knew that I love him...like you love Gee."

"I..."

"Well this is an interesting turn of events."

Frank turned and saw his mother with Grant. Grant was examining one of the dead vampires.

"I figured they would all be dead, but yet you still live Peter."

"Yeah, looks like it."

Pete growled slightly, moving in front of Patrick's lifeless body.

"What is going on Frankie!? What is all..."

Linda gasped as she saw her youngest son on the floor slumped over.

"Patrick? PATRICK!"

She ran over and dropped to her knees, cradling him in her arms.

"You can still save him Linda."

"What?"

"I meant what I said. Boys need discipline. That's why I had my eye on you. I thought you could help them and guide them to be better. Pete was supposed to get Frank on board, but apparently he couldn't even manage that."

"What are you talking about Grant? My son is dead!"

"Well two of mine are dead too, but I still want you. That hasn't changed."

Grant took his glasses off and Linda screamed as his eyes glowed red.

"You! You son of a bitch! It was you all the long!"

Frank screamed and hurled himself at Grant.

Grant laughed and threw Frank like he was a rag doll, through the railings and up onto the landing.

Gee appeared in the bedroom door a few feet away.

"Frankie!"

He ran to Frank's side and dropped to his knees.

Grant turned to Linda.

"It would've been perfect...your boys, and mine."

"Never! I will never be yours!"

Linda fiercely hugged her son's body.

"Oh you will Linda..."

Grant grinned, showing off his fangs.

"...and it's so much easier if you don't fight it."

He moved toward her.

Linda screamed and Frank ran for Grant.

Grant laughed darkly, grabbing Linda quickly and pulling her to him. He put her between Frank and himself.

"But if you insist on fighting...I can work with that."

He said before licking a stripe up the side of her neck...his red eyes watching Frank smugly.

"Let go of her you piece of shit!"

"I don't think so little boy..."

Grant sneered, holding the struggling and terrified woman tight to his chest. He turned his head slightly and spoke over his shoulder without moving his eyes away from Frank.

"Peter...kill him."

"No."

Grant took his eyes off of Frank in shock.

"What?"

Frank looked shocked at the vampire that started this all.

"I said no..."

Pete was holding Patrick's small, still body in his arms.

"I've had enough of you Grant. You know, I never liked you."

Grant laughed, the noise sounding deep and demonic.

"I never thought you did."

"P-P-P-Pete."

It was just a whisper, but it was Patrick's voice.

Pete gasped, looking down sharply.

"Patrick?...oh my God..."

He looked up.

"Frank, he's alive!"

"What? Patrick!"

Frank had a renewed reason to live now, to rescue his mother and save his brother. Grant was slightly distracted now and he had his chance.

"Mom!"

Linda saw it too and felt Grant loosen his hold on her. She elbowed him in the stomach and then ducked.

Grant went to grab for her but was suddenly attacked from the side by a blur of pale skin, red painted nails and black hair. He was stronger than Gee though and twisted to quickly grasp the pale boy by the throat, lifting him a foot off the ground and squeezing hard.

Gee choked, his eyes wide as he clawed at the hand.

"Bad move pretty boy."

Grant hissed, raising clawed fingers ready to rip Gee's heart from his chest.

"GEE!"

Frank had one chance left. He grabbed for a set of the antlers and slammed them into Grant's back.

"AHHHH!"

Grant roared out, dropping Gee to the ground to try desperately to pull the antlers out.

Gee gasped painfully, curling into a ball.

Frank wanted to help Gee, but it was now or never. He slammed his body into Grant's back, impaling him further.

Grant's eyes bugged as he let out a howl that shook the house right down to it's foundations. His knees collapsed beneath him and he started shaking, black blood fizzing and bubbling from his nose, mouth, eyes, ears and every other hole in his body.

Frank pushed away and then vomited. He waited for the change in his body, but nothing happened.

"You did it."

The frog brothers showed up and Brendon nudged the vampire with his foot.

"Eeww gross!"

"You said it would work. You said we would change back if we killed the head vampire!"

Frank grabbed Brendon and lifted him eye to still red eye.

"Why aren't I normal again!?"

"I don't know! It's what it said in the comic books!"

"Comic books! Fucking Comic books!?"

Frank growled at him.

"Frankie?..."

Gee choked out from the floor.

"F-Frankie?"

"Gee."

Frank dropped Brendon and rushed to the boy.

"Are you alright?"

"I...I don't f-feel different..."

Gee whimpered, clinging to Frank's blood covered shirt and dragging himself practically into Frank's lap.

"Why d-don't I?"

"Ask him."

Frank pointed to Pete.

Gee looked over at Pete, who was still cradling Patrick to him while trying to not scare Linda too much.

"P-Pete?..."

The black haired vampire looked up quizzically.

"Why are we still..."

Gee showed his fangs shyly in place of finishing his question.

Pete chuckled slightly.

"Cos Grant wasn't...oh wait!...you thought that Grant was the head vampire!?..."

He shook his head with a smirk.

"No...that's someone else."

"Is it you? Should we kill you?"

Ryan held his stake up.

"I'd really rather you didn't do that."

Pete said, hiding himself slightly more behind Patrick.

A voice came from the still open front door.

"I concur."

Everyone looked toward the door.

"Mikey?"

"Hi Gee."

Frank looked at the guy who just walked in.

"Who are you?"

Mikey smiled, shiny white fangs catching the light.

"I'm Gee's brother..."

He said as he stepped into the room over a broken chair.

"It's nice to meet you Frank."

He smirked.

"Gee?"

Frank was confused.

Gee turned his eyes to look up into Frank's. He nodded in confirmation.

"Mikey's my brother but..."

He looked back at the taller boy who was looking around at the destruction.

"Mikey I...I didn't know you were in town?"

Mikey laughed.

"I wasn't. I left Grant in charge...though I see that that was a mistake..."

He looked at Pete.

"Hey Pete...you got a friend there?"

"This is Patrick."

Pete said simply. Mikey hummed in understanding.

"Hold the fuck up. What do you mean you left Grant in charge?!"

Mikey raised an eyebrow at Frank then looked over at Pete.

"You didn't tell them?..."

Pete shrugged like it was no big deal. Mikey sighed, rolling his eyes as if this all bored him quite a lot.

"I'm the head of the pack Frank..."

He looked apologetically at Gee.

"I told Pete not to tell you Gee...I'm sorry."

"Wait...you're the head vampire?"

"Kill him!"

Ryan ran at Mikey with the stake in his hand.

Mikey was across the room, sat perched on top of an old wooden dresser with one leg crossed over the other examining his fingernails in a split-second...Pete was the only one who'd actually even seen him move. Pete chuckled.

"No chance dude...'sides...Mikey's not like Grant."

Mikey just gave him a lopsided smile.

"Someone had better fucking start to explain shit right now!"

Frank was done, if he had to kill every vampire here he was going to get some answers.

Mikey sighed dramatically.

"Don't get your boxers in a bunch Frank, I'll explain...if those two stop trying to sneak up on every non-human in the room?"

He suggested, glaring at Brendon then Ryan.

"This had better be good."

Frank stood there with his arms folded.

Mikey took a deep and unnecessary breath, then began.

"Ok, so I was turned five years ago by a woman called Letitia. She was older than me..."

He chuckled slightly.

"...by about 150 years. I fell for her charm and beauty, and I willingly let her change me."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Gee interrupted quietly...sadly. Mikey slid down from the dresser and crossed to his brother, crouching to place a finger under his chin. Gee looked up at him.

"You were doing good in school Gee, I didn't want to mess that up for you..."

He stood again and moved over to Pete, running a hand through the boy's hair. Pete smiled up at him. Mikey turned his attention back to the room.

"Letitia taught me how to hunt, how to kill. She also taught me how to change others, but made sure that I understood that I must have consent..."

He looked down at what remained of Grant's body. He frowned.

"Unfortunately, she failed to explain how others would not necessarily follow those rule. Grant was my first turn. I didn't really want to, but Letitia wanted him, and she thought it would be good practice for me."

When Mikey went quiet, Gee prompted him quietly.

"What happened Mikey?"

Mikey looked over and smiled fondly at his brother.

"Grant gave consent, but he didn't like the rules. Letitia went out hunting with him one night, and she never came back."

He looked around the room. Everyone was apparently riveted by the tale.

"Grant came back saying that she left...I was never sure, but he fell into line after that, and I decided to start the pack...with Pete."

Pete grinned.

"Yeah, then I changed Billie-Joe, Mike and Trè."

"Then me and Andy."

Gee said bitterly.

Pete's grin dropped and he looked back at Patrick...he was very pale, but still breathing.

"Did you consent Gee and what the fuck, Andy is still practically a kid!"

Gee sniffed, looking down.

"I was hurt, some asshole from the boardwalk tried to..."

He swallowed, shuddering and curling in on himself before continuing quietly.

"He didn't manage to, but when I fought...he had a knife."

He fell silent so Pete picked up the story.

"I caught the last couple moments when I came round the corner. Gee was bleeding badly and I knew he wasn't going to make it."

He smiled sadly over at the other boy.

"I scared off the bastard with the knife, promising myself that I'd rip his throat out later...then I went over to Gee. I recognised him. Mikey had pointed him out and said he wasn't to be harmed."

"I begged..."

Gee said softly.

"I pleaded not to die."

"I told Gee I could save him and he said yes. If I hadn't..."

Pete trailed off, turning his eyes back to Patrick as he whined slightly.

"I was pissed when I found out..."

Mikey stated.

"But when everything was explained, I understood. I insisted that Gee wasn't told about me though."

Gee looked up with wet eyes and cheeks.

"Why?...even after Pete changed me, why keep it a secret?...I just thought you left town. I didn't understand."

Mikey frowned slightly.

"I went to find something."

"Went to find what?"

Frank had moved to hold Gee again.

"A way to live as avampire that doesn't involve killing humans, cos I kinda don't really like doing that, y' know?"

Mikey smirked. Gee looked up at him expectantly.

"And did you find anything?"

Mikey grinned.

"Actually, yeah...I did."

"Hey...uh I get the whole family reunion, but my little brother is like dying?"

Mikey looked over to the boy in Pete's arms, then looked at Frank.

"I can fix him, but by the looks of him, it will take more blood than it did for Gee...and in all likelihood that will prompt a full turn."

Frank looked at their mom.

"Will he be a killer like this asshole?"

He pointed to Pete.

"No..."

Pete interjected.

"He will be what he wants to be."

"I mean, how do we stop from freaking out and making walking happy meals of everyone we see?"

"Training."

Mikey growled, his eyes falling on Pete who shrunk back a bit under his stare before turning and looking over at Frank apologetically.

"I should've been training you, Gee and Andy to control yourselves...not encouraging you to kill."

He swallowed and looked at Mikey.

"In my defence though, Grant said he'd stake Gee if I didn't act like your stereotypical bloodthirsty creature of the night...and once you start..."

He trailed off seeing Mikey roll his eyes.

"Yes...seems I made a big mistake leaving that piece of shit in charge."

"But Gee never killed any one. Neither has Andy."

Pete shook his head.

"And that's just one more reason why I'm not the leader...I can't really lead for shit."

Mikey chuckled.

"No, you really can't."

"So let me get this straight. You can save my brother, but he will be like you. Gee, Andy, and I will remain like this, but with training we can be fine?"

Frank was still trying to wrap his head around everything. He did not want to spend life as a vampire, but if he wouldn't be killing...maybe it would be okay? He didn't like the sun much any way.

"ANDY!"

Gee gasped loudly before pulling free of Frank's arms to race upstairs. Frank watched him go.

"You're not vegetarian or anything, are you Frank?"

Mikey said with a smirk...not really answering the question.

"I mean...I prefer not to eat red meat..."

Frank almost blurted out that humans are considered closer to pork, but the thought made his stomach growl...not good.

Mikey smirked.

"Do you like pork Frank?"

"You're a much bigger jackass then your brother, you know that?"

Mikey chuckled.

"Look, I can train you to control yourself, but you still need to feed. Pig's blood tastes almost identical to human, and you can live on it quite well..."

He held his hands out at his sides.

"Just look at me..."

He grinned before turning his eyes toward the stairs.

"You ok Gee?"

Gee was stood on the top step with Andy tucked into his side, face hidden in Gee's shirt. Gee nodded, then led the younger boy down the stairs and over to Frank without a word.

"So wait...we can drink pig's blood and not have to kill people?"

Mikey walked over to where Gee, Frank and Andy were stood. He reached up and stroked his finger down Gee's cheek. Gee whimpered slightly, turning his face away into Frank's chest. Mikey lowered his hand and chuckled, focusing now on Frank.

"Yes Frank..."

He said as if speaking to a child.

"...we can."

"Mikey?..."

Pete said with a worried note to his voice, causing everyone to look his way. Mikey raised an eyebrow in query.

"Can you...can you help Patrick now?"

Mikey looked back at Frank.

"Can I?"

Frank looked at his mom, but she was still in a daze.

"Yeah, please, save him."

Mikey nodded once and was then across the room, knelt next to Pete before anyone even saw him move.

He placed his hand on Patrick's chest, feeling his heart was on the verge of giving out.

He brought his own wrist up to his mouth and bit down, fangs breaking through the skin and blood filling his mouth before he moved his wrist to Patrick's slack mouth and waited. It was nearly 20 seconds before he started to feel suction on his wrist...he had thought for a moment that he was too late.

A grin spread over his blood slicked lips as he turned his eyes toward Frank.

"It's working!"

Frank held Gee and his breath as he watched his brother's skin turn pale before his eyes.

Pete bit his lip as he looked down at the boy in his lap...the boy he could now spend eternity with...if Patrick wanted him that is.

Mikey growled as he felt Patrick's newly forming fangs dig into his wrist.

"Enough!"

He pulled his arm free, licking over the wound to help it close.

Pete pulled Patrick's silent form against his chest and waited for him to stir.

Frank watched as Patrick's breathing quickened and then his whole body constricted and he let out a cry before slumping into Pete's arms.

Mikey clapped his hands above his head like he'd just seen the greatest show on Earth.

"And so a new vampire joins the family."

He grinned, looking around at the mixed expressions around the room.

"Pop."

Frank heard his mom and looked up. Sure enough there was his grandfather. He walked in from his fake date and looked around. He saw the two dead vampires and then walked up to Pete.

"Is he gonna live?"

He pointed to Patrick who had not fully awoken yet.

Pete looked up at the old man.

"Like me...yes sir."

He nodded.

He nodded back and then started to go up the stairs.

"Uh, old dude, like don't use the bathroom."

"Why?"

"Uh..."

Brendon whispered to Ryan.

"Plumbing problems?"

Frank saw his grandpa smirk and keep going.

"Oh man."

Brendon started to freak out.

"He's gonna have a heart attack!"

"He didn't seem to be bothered by the two dead ones here."

Mikey chuckled, shaking his head at the confused humans and vamps.

"Geeze you guys are dumb sometimes. He knows!..."

He said the last words slowly and clearly.

"That old coot's been here most of his life I'm betting, and I doubt he's survived that long without figuring out the whole 'town of the dead' thing by now...do you?"

Sure enough he came back down the stairs and walked up to Ryan and Brendon.

"You best get your asses moving and clean up this mess."

He turned to Pete.

"Go put my grandson to bed. He needs rest now. Keep the curtains closed."

Pete blinked stupidly for a second then nodded, scooping Patrick up into his arms.

"Yes sir."

He said as he headed up the stairs and into what he knew (just by the smell) was Patrick's room.

"P-Pete?"

"Shh my little bat, I'm here."

Pete cooed as he closed the door with his elbow and took Patrick over to his narrow twin size bed, laying him down gently before climbing on next to him and pulling the newborn vampire into his chest.

"What happens now?"

Pete smiled down at him, softly brushing Patrick's hair from his face.

"Now, you rest. There's plenty of time for questions later...in fact..."

He lay a gentle kiss to Patrick's cheek.

"...we have all the time in the world."

Patrick hummed quietly, yawned then closed his eyes.

"Sweet dreams baby bat."

Pete whispered.

Mikey was stood in what was left of the living room still. He looked up at the ceiling briefly then rolled his eyes and chuckled...his hearing was better than any other vamp he'd ever met.

"What's funny Mikey?"

Gee asked, still pressed against Frank's chest and clinging to his shirt. Mikey looked at his brother and shook his head.

"Doesn't matter."

He smirked.

Frank was watching Brendon struggle with the clean up...Mikey took an unnecessary breath and stepped toward him.

"Frank?"

Frank still had Gee pressed against him.

"Yeah?"

"I get that you've bonded with my dear brother..."

Gee blushed at that and hid his face in Frank's shirt.

"...but I now basically own you both, so watch you don't hurt him...yeah?"

Frank growled low. Mikey smirked.

"Just sayin'..."

He turned to the two human boys who were still trying to clean up.

"You two..."

He said, stepping toward them.

"Are we going to have an issue with you?"

"Are you going turn us too?"

Brendon crossed his arms and glared at Mikey.

"Actually it doesn't seem that bad."

"Ryan!"

"What? I'm just saying...you don't have to kill people, right?"

"No. Plus you get to live forever...but if you're not interested..."

Mikey trailed off, turning away with a sly smirk forming on his lips.

"Can I think about it?"

"Ryan! What kind of a Frog brother are you!? What kind of perks could there be that's better than being human!?"

"Immortality?...the ability to fly?...lightning speed?..."

Mikey counted off.

"But like I said; if you're not interested."

Brendon looked at the vampire. It didn't help that he was very good looking.

"Underrated."

Mikey raised an eyebrow as he turned back to face the boy fully.

"It's your choice...I'd never force anyone, and if you wish to remain mortal...then so be it."

He looked at the other one.

"Are you interested...or just curious?"

"Curious I think."

Mikey sighed.

"Oh well...it was worth a shot. You two would've made beautiful vampires..."

He smiled sadly then turned back to Frank and Gee.

"Looks like my business here is done. You two have each other, and I trust you'll look after the little one..."

He nodded toward Andy who was peeping out from behind Gee's back before continuing.

"Pete will take care of Patrick, and I'm sure you'll be watching him in that..."

He winked at Frank.

"So I'm not sure what else there is to say."

"You're leaving?"

Gee asked, a hint of pain in his voice. Mikey nodded, glancing at the two human boys that he had to admit he would love to see as creatures of the night, before looking back at his brother, reaching out to gently tuck Gee's long hair behind his ear.

"I thought there might be a reason or two to stay, but I guess I was wrong...I will be around for the next few nights to teach you all how to control your hunger...and then I'll be gone."

"Wait...um..."

Ryan held his hand out.

"Don't go yet please."

"Ryan! This isn't like when you weren't sure if you liked guys! There is no Kinsey scale here!"

Brendon was waving his arms around.

"You will be dead! How do we tell mom and Dad?"

Mikey lifted his closed fist up to his mouth and cleared his throat to get their attention.

Brendon turned to the head vampire.

"What?"

Mikey raised an eyebrow at him.

"So Ryan is...curious..."

He tilted his head.

"...where do you sit on the Kinsey scale?"

"Me?"

Brendon squeaked.

"Oh I...I mean..."

Mikey raised his other brow.

"Maybe you, me and Ryan should go and discuss this in private...the bedroom perhaps?"

He winked, flashing a bright fangy grin.

"Bedroom? Why do we need a bedroom?!"

Brendon was backing up now.

"Because it's quieter there...so we can talk."

Mikey said with a serious look.

"Oh...discuss? That's all?"

"Of course sweetheart..."

Mikey nodded.

"...just discuss."

"Well I guess if it's just..."

Ryan watched as Mikey put his arm around Brendon and led him up the stairs of the cabin. He looked at Frank and Gee and just shrugged, folowing them up. On the way down they met Frank's grandfather. He raised an eyebrow to them, but kept going.

"Well...that was quite an adventure."

Frank looked at Gee.

"Are you alright now?"

Gee nodded thoughtfully.

"I guess...I mean it looks like Mikey's got a reason to stick around now so..."

He looked up at Frank and smiled wide.

"Yeah, I think I'm ok."

"Me too."

Andy said with a grin, staring up at them both.

"Well that's good little man. Come on let's get out of here and get something to eat."

He took Andy's hand and kissed Gee sweetly and they headed out of the front door. Linda, who was still on the floor trying to process all this looked at her father.

"Pop?"

"You know what I always hated about Santa Carla Linda?"

Linda shook her head as she was being helped up by him.

"All the damn vampires."

He headed to the kitchen to roll a joint.
