(Frank’s POV)

“Happy birthday my love!” Gerard cheered, shaking me awake. I open my eyes and see Gerard with a huge smile on his face and Jimmy holding a cake nearby. “Yeah happy birthday little Frank.” I stretch, before getting up. “Thanks guys.” I say sleepy rubbing my eyes. “Come on downstairs and eat the cake.” Jimmy says, walking out. Gerard grabs my hand and pulls me to follow him. Jimmy sets the cake on the table and lights a candle. “Make a wish Frank.” Jimmy says. “I don’t need to.” I say, squeezing Gerard’s hand, looking into his eyes. Jimmy ‘awes’ then gags making me and Gerard laugh. I blew out the candle and watched Gerard grab plates for us. I cut into the cake cutting slices for us 3. “Frank behind you!” Jimmy says making me and Gerard turn around. “There’s nothing th….” I say turning back around to see Jimmy smashing my slice in my face. I laughed grabbing the napkins Gerard brought me. “You suck.” I say. “Suck on Gerard.” Gerard and I freeze, making Jimmy laugh even more. “Sh-Shut up!” I stutter. He continues to laugh and eat his slice.

“Okay this is my present!” Gerard says giving me a big box. I gasped and took the box. “I didn’t fit in the box, so this has to do.” Gerard said. I blushed and opened the box. “H-How’d you?” I say facing Gerard. “When you snuck me into your room I saw all the guitars you had and a poster of your dream guitar and got Jimmy to help me buy it a bit after meeting him.” “I love you!” I yelled pulling Gerard into a tight hug. “Thank you.” Jimmy whispers, sarcastically. I pull away from Gerard and stuck my tongue out at Jimmy. “Yes thank you.” I said.

“So when do we start the ritual?” I asked. “Around 10 pm.” Jimmy said. “It’s Halloween, kids come here at that time. How are we going to do it?” “We can go to the library.” I say. “I can’t leave my manor. Kids loot it on Halloween.” I leaned on Gerard’s shoulder as we all thought. “There’s a spell that I remember to keep people out.” Jimmy says. “Cast it.” I say. “I don’t want Gerard to stay as this monster anymore.” Jimmy nodded and got up. I followed him outside, watching Jimmy chant the spell as he held onto the gate. A force field showed up surrounding his manor, but it soon disappeared so people won’t see it. I am guessing Gerard could see it, cause he looked around amazed. “Let’s hurry up back inside it’s almost 10 and the ritual takes awhile.” Jimmy says leading us back into the manor. “Okay Gerard give me your blood.” Jimmy says. “What for?” “The symbol has to be made with the blood of the Vacant heart.” He nodded and went into the kitchen and grabbed a knife and cup. He cut his wrists and his blood dripped down. “The person who attempted this ritual before forgot about the lover. Frank you have to give some of your blood too.” I nodded trembling a bit. I went and grabbed another knife and cup from the kitchen and cut my wrist next to Gerard, whose wrist was still bleeding. I flinched from the pain. Gerard hugged me with his free arm and kissed the top of my head. “It’s okay baby.”

As soon as the cups were filled with our blood, Gerard and cleaned our wrists and watched Jimmy making the symbol. We lit the candles nearby, before standing where Jimmy told me to stand. “Gerard stand in front of me.” Jimmy says. He obeyed and Jimmy started the chant.

“Hear me and help me set him free. Let soon the ones he broke be free as well.”

The room started to shake, making me scared. Gerard kept a blank face. He seemed prepared for what was going to happen.

“Set him free from this monster.”

Gerard screams and falls to the ground. I stayed back afraid to mess up the ritual. I turned to Jimmy whose head was back and his eyes were gone.

“Heal the broken with a Vacant heart. Raise them from the dead and make them feel loved and no longer empty. Help heal the vacant heart. To restore a Vacant heart , the Vampire with a Vacant heart must love the enemy and they must return the love. If their love if real the spell shall work or they will die, along with them.”

Gerard’s Vacant heart showed up and gave me a smile. Jimmy wasn’t paying attention, he continued to chant as the Vacant heart talked to me. “Thank you, my love.” He says and I watch the rope connect their wrists. The Gerard on the floor looks up, his eyes black with red. Anger clear on his face. He grunts as his Vacant heart walks up to him. “I already won.” His Vacant heart says. “No stay away!!!” He yells, pushing his Vacant heart away. “Quit fighting it! You are just making the pain worse!!!” His Vacant heart says. “You can’t kill me! I am stronger than you! That’s how I killed you the first time!” “I can kill you. When you fell in love with Frank you made me stronger. I love him so much, that I can’t stand you hurting him.” He says looking at me crying a bit, with a small smile. “I love you too.” I cried out. Gerard yelled I am guessing we won and fell to the ground passing out, with his Vacant heart going in him smiling at me and his dark side going out and disappearing. Jimmy yells and falls to the ground. Jimmy shakes his head and looks at Gerard unconscious on the floor. “Wake him up Frank. Start the next ritual.” Jimmy says and leaves the manor, wobbling. Gerard grunts and wakes up. “I-I don’t f-feel empty.” Gerard sayings smiling. “You won’t feel dead either as soon as I start the ritual.” I say standing where Jimmy was. Gerard gets up from the floor and nods at me smiling. I started the chant and saw that Gerard was quickly reacting to it.

“Heal my love. Set him free from the monstrosity he was cursed with for over 100 years.”

The room shook, as things feel over and the candles went out. I couldn’t see him anymore.

“Let him breathe and feel again. Let him see the sun.”

My eyes rolled to the back of my head, making my head lean back as I chocked a bit. I continued to chant the ritual, crying from hearing Gerard cry and yell.

(Gerard’s POV)

“AAAHHHH!” I yelled falling to the ground. I felt my nails going back to normal, it was painful, then I felt my fangs disappear. I started to cry on the floor from how much it was hurting me. I am crying and flipping around on the floor, panicking, I panicked so bad when my vision went dark. I couldn’t see anything anymore. I yelled once again, when I felt my heart. I was happy I was feeling it, still freaking out cause it was pounding really loud and fast. I gasped when I felt air moving in me. I forgot how amazing it was to breathe. Frankie did it. He turned me human. I fucking love him. As soon as I stopped shaking and making any sound Frank spoke up. He sounded like he was crying. “Gee?” He says. I grunted and got up from the floor, desperate to hold Frankie. He lit a candle and walked over to me. “Are you okay?” He asks. “Never been better.” I say hugging him. “Thank you, my love.” “You aren’t cold anymore.” He says smiling at me. “Nor do I have fangs and cracked eyes anymore.” I say smiling wide for him to see. He pulls me down with his free hand that isn’t holding the candle and seals his lips to mine. He pulls away and sighs, as he rests his head in my chest. “Let’s show Jimmy, the ritual worked.” I nod, as he took my hand and led me outside leaving the candle in the manor. Jimmy was on the grass, with his eyes closed. “Jimmy.” Frank says. He opens his eyes and smiles at us. “You did it Frank.” I really wasn’t paying attention. I was enjoying the outside world. I was able to smell the grass and the air again. “Looks like he is enjoying being human again.” I face Jimmy and nod. “I got you two to thank.” I say.
