Jack's P.O.V.

I ran to the woods, hearing Felix's calls. I ignored them, I needed to find this Mark person again. Well, I shouldn't say person, more like vampire. I slowed my sprint as I stumbled onto the path.

" MARK!" I shouted, " MARK!"

I trampled through the woods for ages, I needed to see Mark, see if he was this legend that Felix speaks of. I slowed to a stop and ridiculed my foolish thoughts. I started to turn back when a black cloud whisked in front of me. I took a shocked step, tripping over a log in the process. I tumbled backwards, feeling arms encircle me. My neck craned and I saw Felix.

" Jack, OhMyGodThankJesusChristIFoundYou!" Felix cried.

" Fe, I was fine. Just taking a wal--." I stopped mid-sentence seeing the looming black cloud fade out.

" Holy shit..." Felix murmured.

Mark stepped out, but he was covered in cuts and was bleeding horrifically.

" MARK!" I cried, tears lacing my eyes.

I fell to the ground where Mark had collapsed. I placed my head against his chest softly. I was wondering why I just wanted to lay with this man for hours, looking at stars, talking. This man who was just a stranger to me. My heart ached and yearned for him. I snapped out of my daze.

" Felix! Felix we have to help!" I yelled frantically, choking through sobs.

Felix scooped Mark into his arms softly, as if he was a newborn baby. Good ol' Felix. He never questioned my ridiculous actions, he just did what he could to help. We jogged down the trail through the woods.

" Jack. You okay?" Felix started breaking the silence.

" Yeah..." I replied softly.

I sniffed, my eyes still burning for sobbing. Cry came sprinting down the hill with Ken.

" Who the fu-." Ken started.

" No time. We have to go to a hospital." I cut off Ken.

Felix threw open the door to his pickup truck.

" Two people hop in the back." Felix called.

I took Mark from Felix's arms, and walked into the back seat. The other two slipped into the front. I sat myself in the back with Mark carefully positioned on my lap. I took off my shirt, ripping the fabric and tying it around some of Mark's still bleeding wounds. I caressed his forehead gently. Suddenly, Mark shot up with a start. I pushed him gently back down as he winced in pain at his torn side.

" Shhhhhhh." I cooed, rubbing his head.

" Seán?" Mark whispered hoarsely.

" Mhmm." I replied.

Mark nuzzled closer into my chest. His breathing was a bit calmer. A few minutes later, Felix rounded the corner of the truck.

" We're her-." Felix stopped when he saw Mark.

" Seán..." Mark said nervously, backing towards the side of the truck.

" It's okay, it's my friend. He's here to help you." I said calmly.

" Shit, it's almost sunrise." Mark hissed.

" Huh?" I replied.

Mark looked frantically into my eyes, trying to relay a message. His milk chocolate eyes were filled with fear and pain.

" It can't be true..." I mumbled to myself, " They aren't real..."

Mark just looked up into my eyes pitifully. I looked down and saw the oozing cuts.

" Oh! We need to get those fixed..." I said quickly.

" NO!" Mark shouted frantically, " I mean, I can't."

" Mark..." I whispered softly.

Mark turned away, still laying on my lap. I looked down at the ground of the truck. Mark sighed softly. I was appalled that he hadn't bled out by now. I stopped to get a good look at Mark's injuries.

" Wait..." I placed my finger on some of the oozing black blood coming from Mark.

Mark still didn't make eye contact with me. I looked at Felix.

" Oh my god." Felix mouthed at me.

" Mark..." I breathed softly, " You haven't bit me, right?"

" No, but I am kinda hungry..." Mark muttered.

" Don't you fucking dare." I hissed playfully.

Mark cast me a toothy grin in response.

" Where is the help you need?" I asked.

" I'll show you."

And with that, Mark and I were gone in a puff of black smoke.

Well, here we are! I've had a crazy life and writers block recently, but here you go!
