I kept spacing out all day, I couldn't keep the idea of being kidnapped by the vampire that my friends and I out of my head. Some days I am thankful that Raven had taken me, other days not so much. I have started to actually feel at home in the apartment, but I just have this gut feeling that this is going to end soon, and I don't want it to. As depressing as it sounds I like it here with Raven, Brianna and Natalie.

Shadow's POV:

"Damn it! Guys we can't just leave Vengeance and go back to Huntington. That is final! We have to find him. He is out brother. If one of you guys were kidnapped by the enemy wouldn't you guys want to be found?" I bellowed "Well, sure I'd want to be found, but-" Gates replied before I cut him off "But Nothing Gates! Don't you see, The Vampires are tearing us apart. Killing us slowly." I interrupted "Matt, c'mon man, what if they killed Zacky and dumped his body in the hudson. Do you think they'd let us take a dead body on a plane? I think not." I heard The Rev reply. I was getting pissed off. I punched a hole in the wall of the hotel room. I was seeing red. I was pissed off with my friends and their lack of motivation to find Vengeance.

Gates' POV:

Shads was getting pissed off with us. My girlfriend wants me back in Orange County but here I am in lovely New York. Note the sarcasm. What if Zack didn't want to be found, what if he really went willingly? I was about ready to pull the hair out of my head. We have all been loosing sleep over Zacky being missing, and the next thing we need if for another one of os to go missing as well. Any more I don't care if the vampire population in NYC is growing, I don't care! I just want to go home and sleep in my own bed with a bottle of Jack, and hang out at Johnny's Bar. I miss the hot weather of California, and the beach. I miss surfing whenever I want to and being able to wear what I want to, instead of having to, now, wear a winter coat. I miss my little Pinkly, even though she shits all over the house.

Matt spoke up, "Do you guys want to walk around the city with flyers? The sooner we find him guys the sooner we go home." "Well, Matt, I think I'm going to go home now, I am sick of this city and hearing about Vampires. I want to go home. Chell is worried about me, and I hate not being able to tell her what is going on. Val's probably worried about you too. The girls still think that we are a band, and that we are on tour. Michelle really wants to come on tour with us soon too, I don't have the heart to tell her that we had all split up for a bit and we got back together but with stakes and vervain rather than our guitars and drums. I hate lying to her!" I replied. "Get over it Gates, Michelle is cheating on you, but you're so far into the denial of it all. I mean, holy fuck Brian you even walked in on her doing someone else!" Matt yelled. I winced at his volume. I have never seen Matt this set on something since we got into the band together.

My phone started ringing, I looked at the ID on it and it was Chell.

"Hey Chelly whats up?"

"Brian, Where are you? I want to know right now."

"I'm in New York baby, I have told you this a million times already."

"Well, you have been there for a while now. I thought tour was only in places for a few days, not a few weeks."

"Well, the tour has been put off for a little bit. We are looking for Zack and have been for the past week, and we still can't find him."

"Oh. Do you want me to tell the girls?"

"No, we don't need the girls to freak out."

"I'm telling them. They need to know." I heard what sounded like a man's voice in the background.

"Chell, who is in the house with you?"

"Oh, no one Brian, its just me and Pinkly."

"Okay? But I thought tha-"

"Good bye Brian!" She screamed and hung up.

I slid down the wall and put my head in my hands. I was pissed to say the least.

Raven's POV:

"So, what would you like to do today Zack?" I asked, "I'm not sure, what all in there to do out here?" he responded, "Well, we have a Ripleys believe it or not in Manhattan. If you want to go there. There are tons of clubs and bars out here too. Ummm, Natalie usually knows what all the different bar scenes are around here if you want to do that." Zack looked deep in thought at the information I had just given him. "Lets do Ripleys!" He replied smiling.

Zack's POV:

I really didn't feel like drinking surprisingly, but I wanted to spend some time with Raven, if the guys find me I'll fight them tooth and nail because I don't want to go home. We went into Ripleys and walked through some of the different things in there. We came across an Iron Maiden and Raven had a chill run up her spine and you could see her wince. "Raven, Whats wrong." I asked. She let out a deep breath. "That is the same Iron Maiden that I died in back in 1793. I had vampire blood coursing through my veins as a child, but I had to die in order to compete the transformation and become what I am today." She replied. You could hear the slight pain in her voice as she spoke, but she shrugged it off. She saw the different chain masks that they had from medieval times. She laughed, which is something I haven't seen her do in a while. Two weeks have flown by fast.

I have a girlfriend in California, but I can't see a future with her by my side. I can though see one with Raven. She could turn me into a Vampire, I know the dangers of it, but I want to be with her. "No you don't." she said in monotone, "What?" I asked "You don't want to be with me. I can let you go, and you can be with your girlfriend. I won't change you. Being a vampire hurts Zacky, it really does. You can only trick your self into thinking you have turned off your humanity, turned off the pain. But frankly you can't. It is a trick. I could compel you into forgetting me, forgetting our time together and you can go back to California and it would seem as though you never skipped a beat. I could make you think that you just woke up in a ditch somewhere and you have just slept for the past two weeks and this has all been a dream. I can do that." "But I don't want that Raven! I want you! You have my heart in a vice like grip and you can just tug at my heart strings. You have a smile that just melts my heart like butter. Knowing that you want me to go back to California, hurts." My voice cracked, and I knew she could hear it. I could feel my breath shake, but I couldn't bear the thought of crying in from of her. I shook my head and left Ripleys and started walking back to Raven's apartment. She clearly didn't feel the same way towards me as I did her, and that stung.

Jimmy's POV:

We were walking down the streets of time square on west 42nd street when I saw someone who looked like Zack. I ran towards him and sure enough it was him. He looked like he was going to cry and that made me sad to think about. "Hey Zack! What has you all down in the dumps buddy ol' pal?" I asked my slight lisp coming through my words. "She doesn't love me like I love her." he whispered. He had a few silent tears falling out of his green eyes. Soon enough a girl that looked very familiar walked up to us. "Zack, I am sorry. I do like you but we can't be to have a relationship like you want to have. Plus what would you do with your current partner?" She said to Zack. She had a thicker Romanian/Transylvanian accent when she spoke. Zacky shook his head. "Zacky, please, forgive me." She said cupping Zack's face in her hands. He averted his gaze from her to the road.
I felt as though I was in one of those sappy love stories. I felt sorry for my shorter friend.

He reached up to her hands and took them off of his face. He crossed his arms, "It's too late Raven, I still love you, but I caught what you were saying the first time. I don't need it thrown at me a seventh time. I'll go back to California. I hope you rot in hell bitch." Zack said bitterly before storming off. The chick he called Raven was hot on his heals. I wasn't sure what to do so I ran to catch up to them because I didn't want to stand around like an idiot.

We eventually got up to what I was guessing was her apartment. Zack glared at Raven as if to say open the door now. She did as his glare told her to do, and he flung the door open. She held it open for me to go in as well before she started up the stairs herself. She opened the door to her apartment and went to her room. I heard things smashing against the walls and her fists flying into the walls as well. She walked out of her room with her fists bleeding and into the kitchen. Zack looked slightly scared at the sight of her fists bleeding as if that isn't normal for her.

I walked up a little closer to her and saw her rip the door off the deep freezer thing they had. I saw a lot of blood bags in there. The veins under her eyes became very visible as she tore through a bag of blood, sucking it dry in seconds. "You want to fucking be like me Zack? Do ya?" She yelled in a demonic sounding voice. Rather than a skinny little five foot eight girl she sounded like a dude that should have a larger build than Matt's and was about six foot seven inches tall.

Her whole eyes turned black as she yelled at Zack, who in turn looked like he was about to piss himself in fear.

"WELL ANSWER ME! I ASKED YOU A FUCKING QUESTION DAMN-IT! NOW ANSWE ME!" She yelled again.

She walked towards Zack and bit her wrist and thrusting it into Zack's mouth. His eyes widened even more, out of fear. "Drink." she commanded. Zack did as Raven told. She ripped her wrist out of Zack's mouth and broke his neck. She walked up to the nearest wall and punched a huge hole in it and slid down the wall as she cried.

I wasn't sure what to do so I just stood where I was. Soon enough two doors in the hallway opened and two girls walked out. The one with blue and black hair walked over to Raven while the one with blond and multi colored walked over to Zack's dead body.

Raven looked up and I saw nothing but blood streaming out of her eyes instead of tears. She stared at Zack who was now laid down in the one recliner by the window.

Raven stood up and closed one of the sheer lines of curtains that had been covering the windows. She walked over to Zack and looked at him again. He quickly sat up taking a deep breath in. The next thing Zack did was shrink away from Raven who was now sitting on her knees watching him. "You-you k-k-kil-lled m-me." Zack stuttered out. "I know, but now you are like me. Dead. Like you wished to be while we were in Ripleys." Zack looked over at me and his eyes went from my face and lingered on my neck for a minuet longer than I would have liked. He launched out of his chair and grabbed my shoulders in less than three seconds. Quicker than that was Raven who grabbed Zack off of me and threw him down to the floor. The blond chick threw a blood bag at Raven who opened it up and handed it to Zack who greedily took it and drank it all in seconds flat.

I walked over to the blue and black haired chick and introduced my self. "Hi, I'm Jimmy!" "Brianna" she replied putting her hand out to shake. I picked up the shorter girl who was probably only five foot nine and a half. Brianna laughed. "Are you a vampire like your friend Raven?" I asked after putting Brianna back on her feet. "No, Jimmy, I am a witch." "Oh, okay, that makes sense." I replied.

"Hey Bee, do you think you could make Zack a lapis stone ring?" Raven asked Brianna "Yeah, I can do that. It will be better for him anyway." Brianna Replied. "What does a Lapis Stone ring do?" I asked, "It prevents Vampires from burning in the sun. It kind of explains why Raven and Natalie can walk in the sun whenever they want to. The main difference between Raven and Natalie's rings are that theirs are just charmed rings rather than Lapis Stone, which naturally protects vampires from the sun." Brianna replied back to my question. "Oh, okay!" I replied happily.
