The day went on and it was a stressful one at that. Luke couldn't decide if it was really a good idea to keep a child in the house. With the "war" coming and with everyone suddenly getting attacked by hunters, it was definitely a 50/50 chance that the kid would get killed.

Everyone was tossing this and that at Luke, trying to make him keep the kid but they shot down their own excuse.

The kid was currently upstairs, playing what ever games he could find. His giggles could be heard from downstairs and his small rages were also heard.

The sound of laughter and having someone that is so young and not immortal was new. Sure they had Timmy and jayd but they had eachother. This kid has no one.

Like came up with the decision, he got everyone's attention and voiced out his plan.

" Ok, I'm not sure if this would work but, lets keep him here for a while and depending how he does, then we will see then." That was Luke's only choice. If he let the kid go, he would feel bad for possibly killing a small child.

Xavier shook his head from left to right in disappointment, knowing that the small group will get attached and won't let the kid go. He got off the wall and headed towards the door.

No one cared where he went, so they let him go.

" Ok, this could work. So how long until that decision is made?" Tyler asked. Luke shrugged his shoulders, I don't know.

" Until then, let's just act like he belongs here. There isn't anything bad with having another person." Luke's answer made most of the others smile.

" So just act normal and don't really worry about it?" Del asked as he looked over at Luke.

"Yeah." Del got up and walked towards the kitchen. The sound of a plate being taken out was heard. They others ignore him.

" So what do you guys want to do today?" Mini asked the others.

" I guess we can just chill. Play some video games." Tyler suggested. Everyone agreed except Marcel. He didn't know why but he wanted to know the kid more.

While everyone went into their room he went to his (the one he shares with Luke) and saw the Tevonye playing call of duty, the zombies chased after him and once they where all rounded up he turned the character and threw a grenade at them.

Some zombies flew and the rest chased after him. He laughed as the zombies came back down and hit some of the runners.

He pulled a thunder gun and the rest went flying as well. Marcel chuckled a bit and the game was paused.

"Oh hey, so what did you guys decide?" Tevonye asked. Marcel smiled and opened his mouth to speak, but instead another voice answered.

" Your staying." Marcel turned and smiled at the man behind him, Luke.
Tevonye was happy, he looked down at the controller, ready to grab it again. Before he could push play on the game, his stomach rumbled from hunger.

" Come on, let's go get some food." Marcel smiled, Tevonye also smiled and followed the two towards the kitchen.

" What would you like?" Luke asked. Tevonye thought about it and decided to say something other then goat kidneys.

" Uh what about salmon?" Luke smiled at the answer and started to make the food for Tevonye

while they sat at the table, marcels phone buzzed. he pulled it out and saw it was from his mom. he pressed answer and walked into their room. Tevonye was left on the table, he didn't really care and was more interested in the way Luke was cooking.

" Hey Luke, where is your bathroom?" Tevonye got up from the chair and walked over to Luke.

" Down the hall, under the stairs." Luke gave off the location of one bathroom, one that was closer. He didn't want anything to happen to the 13 year old. Maybe it was the fact that not dying, but felt a connection to Tevonye. Maybe it was because he was so young, with out parents.

Tevonye walked out of the bathroom, turning off the lights and closing the door behind him. He turned around and hit someone, he jumped back and saw it was the guy named Xavier.

Xavier sent Tevonye a glare and turned completely to him. Tevonye, wasn't fazed. He stood there with no emotions on his face and it impressed Xavier. usually humans would cower in fear of a vampire that was twice their size. But not Tevonye.

" Why do you hate me?" Tevonye asked with still little to almost no emotions. Xavier smirked.

" I don't hate you, I think it was unwise of their decision to keep you here. it's not hard for a little kid like yourself to get injured." Tevonye heated up at the name, kid.

" One, I am perfectly fine here and two, I can take care of myself. I don't need help with anything." Tevonye hated the degrading name, kid. It made him feel weak and dependable on others.

"And three, you don't even know me, how could you hate someone you don't know?" Xavier rolled his eyes and decided to ignore the child. but, Tevonye wasn't having that. He followed the vampire and continued to annoy him.

" hey!" No answer from the elder. " I can do this all day. I won't stop until you talk to me." He got an exasperated sigh from the other.

" OK, you attacked me and I don't hate you. ok! so for making up for that just tell me why you don't like me." the other stopped. turning around he looked Tevonye in the eyes and said.

" we don't need a child in the group, there is a war coming and I would rather not be friends with a 13 year old, who is most likely going to get hurt or killed in the end." the vampire turned back around, going in a room and closing the door. Tevonye stood there for a second and pushed back the worries.

the smell of fish wafted through the room and Tevonye refocused back to the kitchen. he walked in and saw a plate with fish on it. he sat down and started to eat the food.

--------------------

After eating the delicious food, Tevonye got up and placed the plate in the sink. "so what do you guys normally do around here?" the two were shocked for a second, they haven't recently ben doing anything. with finding delirious their lives from that point have been uneventful.

" I don't know, how about you tell us what you want to do today." marcel gave the offer to Tevonye and he had asked if there was a movie theater around. the two looked at each other and smiled.

" uh yeah there is one near here. what movie do you want to watch?" Luke asked as he started to place everything he cooked with in the sink.

" ooo~ how about...anything you two want to see." Tevonye smiled at his choice of words.

" ok, well. how about ____add movie, I don't go out so I wouldn't know____?"

" ok lets go. while we are there we can get you some clothes." Tevonye nodded and they headed out to the truck.

--------------------

once at the movies, they got everything a kid could want, meaning candy, popcorn and soda. they watched the movie and they had fun. the movie was great and the plot was even better. after the movie had ended it was already 9:35 PM. it want that late and the night sky was showing, the moon high up in the sky already getting little twinkles around it.

" thanks guys for taking me to the movies and to the store. Tevonye had picked out clothes, shirts, regular pants and new shoes. he carried the bags himself because he felt it was only fair.

they got to the truck, Luke unlocked the doors and opened the back. Tevonye handed his things to Luke and he put them away. the two went to the front and got in, Tevonye slowly following.

the sound of the back door opening was stopped and there was a thud. Luke and marcel turned to see what had happened and they saw the door was opened but no sight of Tevonye.

Luke got out and looked around, his eyes saw someone running away and another figure was fighting against the other. Luke's eyes adjusted and he saw it was Tevonye and a man, Tevonye looked back and yelled out for Luke. He's instinct was to run after the 13 year old and help him.

Tevonye pulled at his arm, the mans grip was tight and his feet almost couldn't catch up. the man looked back and saw that Luke was close to catching them. he pulled Tevonye and held him in his grasps.

" let me go!" Tevonye yelled. the man jumped up and he landed in a tree. Luke looked around and noticed that the small mall was next to a small wooded area.

" why are you following us?" the man asked, Luke growled and the man jumped down from the tree.

" I'm only taking what belongs to me." the man held Tevonye tighter, he gasped a bit from the force.

"Let him go, he doesn't belong to you." Luke defended. the guy chuckled. "He doesn't belong to you either, we where chasing him and we planning on attacking you but you went out for a movie and it made things easier for us."

The man tilted Tevonye's head and he started breathing faster. Luke made a move and he pushed the guy back before Tevonye got hurt. Tevonye got up from he ground and looked back at Luke and the man as they started to fight.

" Go to Marcel!" Luke demanded as he was pinned under the man. Tevonye turned and ran back to the truck. Luke flipped the guy and tried to get as many slashes in as possible. The man growled and pushed Luke away from him.

Luke groaned as he hit a tree, he tried to get up but fell back down. the man chuckled and walked over to Luke, he gripped Luke's chin and his wounds healed, his eyes turned to a mixture of red and orange, pure blood. Luke had a scratch on his face, arms and one on his neck. it looked like he was in a cat fight.

" low life vampires like you aren't needed, you could have at least tried to put up a fight." Luke growled and pulled his head away from the guy.

" That kid is going to be a tasteful snack." the man walked towards where Tevonye had ran. " I wonder who will help him as well, I'm sure they will do as well." Luke's eyes turned red as he looked up at the guy.

" Don't fucking touch them." Luke got up, and pain spread through his whole back. The man side glanced at the angered vampire.

" you're strong but stupid. Just stay down and let it happen." The man punched Luke and he went down once again.

The man walked towards the cars and saw the boy with a dark skinned male. They looked over and the eldest pushed Tevonye into the truck. The man ran towards them and it didn't take long for him to be right next to the truck.

Marcel closed the door and the man smirked, both of them where in the back seats and the clear panic was shown when they realized ..they didn't lock the doors.

The door was opened and the man jumped Marcel. He was pinned down and he pushed Tevonye towards the front. Tevonye saw the phone and he grabbed it, he went to emergency calls and pressed any number from the contacts.

The man was punched in the face by Marcel and he growled. Tevonye was slightly shaking and the phone picked up. The man looked over at the boy and Marcel yelled at him to run. He ran out as the person on the other side sounded like Xavier.

" What's happening?" " Help, we are being attacked, I don't know where Luke is and Marcel is fighting the vampire guy!!" Tevonye was running and hiding behind bushes as he tried to stay within distance.

" Where are you?" " the mall, we are in the parking lot." " is there anyone around you?" Tevonye looked around and didn't see anyone. " no there isn't anyone here, we are in the back!" Tevonye was freaking out. the phone hung up and Tevonye looked around for help.

-------

" Let me go! Now!" Marcel kicked in an attempt to get the man to move. He chuckled and pinned Marcel's hands down harder.

" You show more fight then that weak vampire." The comment made Marcel freeze for a second.

" He isn't weak!" Marcel yelled. The guy went down to marcel neck and he got protests from the human.

" He is against a pure blood." the words made Marcel freak out more. " G-get away from me! Luke!" Marcel screamed for help. His mouth was covered, silencing him. Marcel moved around more to get away. His head was turned more and fangs dug into his neck. He screamed once the man was fully biting down, Marcel's heart started to beat faster as the burning feeling spread through him. Tears clouded his eyes as the venom made it's way down his spine.

There was a loud growl and the guy was pulled away, Marcel screamed in pain as his neck had fang marks, Marcel's neck was bleeding and his blood ran down his neck.

Marcel finally passed out and the man was dealt with. Xavier got info out of the guy and in the end snapped his neck, tearing it clean off. The faint sound of shuffling was heard, Xavier turned and saw Tevonye.

"Hurry, get the red vile that's in the glove department, pour it in Marcel's mouth and make sure he swallows it all." Xavier directed. Tevonye did as told. Xavier ran to Luke and picked him up. he got a hiss of pain in return.

" Come on get to the truck and I'll help you." They got to the truck and Marcel was starting to cough, he relaxed and Luke was placed in the back as well.

" Get up front." Tevonye followed and buckled up. They drove up to the house in a rush and the others helped bring everyone inside
