Well as promised, here it is. I told you they would be coming out more
often. Also, cause of the threats on my life to get them out cause they
hated the cliff hangers. LOL. If you hated me cause of the last cliff
hanger, you're really gonna hate me now! Anyways, read and find out what
I'm talking about. Enjoy!


In Nick's Car.


"What's your name?" JC asked as he looked to the boy.

The boy was pressed against the other door with his eyes plastered on JC.

"Well, what's your name?" JC asked again getting angry.

"Brady's going to kill you when he finds out what you have done to me!"
Nick said with anger, fear, and confidence.

"He might, but he won't be in good condition when I'm done. Now what's your
name?"

"Nickolas."

"Well, Nickolas, I'm not going to hurt you, unless Brady makes me. So lets
just play cool." JC said as he looked at his Jeep following him.

"They're going to die too. All of you are."

JC didn't respond.

"You're scared of me aren't you?"

"You? No, but if your not careful, I will make you scared of me. More then
you already are." JC said, as he looked a Nick with anger in his face.

Nick quickly shut up, but didn't look away from JC. JC was thinking of what
to do, when his cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"We're almost to the club. What are we going to do?"

"Get him back. That's it, then were out of there."

"I think that's easier said then done."

"You have any better plans Just, I would love to hear um?"

On the other end there was just dead silence.

"That's what I thought. Just be cool. We have a playing card if we need
it." JC said as he looked at Nick.

JC hung up the phone and looked back at Nick.

"So tell me something?"

"What?" Nick said with anger and hatred.

JC rolled his eyes and wanted to beat the shit out of him but didn't.

"Is Brady your lover?"

Nick sat in shock of the question.

"No!"

"Then what is he?"

"He's my friend."

"You let your friend drink your blood?"

"Look before I met Brady, I was picked on, and teased. Now...."

"Now, what?"

"Now, everyone that ever made fun of me is dead." Nick said with a smile.

This sent new fear into JC. He pulled into the club's parking lot and Joey
pulled up right next to him.

All of them got out and walked in front of Nick's car. JC had Nick by the
back of the neck and Nick kept trying to pull away.

"So, I take it they will be waiting for us?" Joey asked with concern.

"Probably." Justin said as he pulled out the book from his bag.

"There's no music, coming from inside. I think we can bet on something
happening." JC said as he looked at Nick who had stopped fighting.

They all started to walk for the club. Their jackets curled up under their
feet and they all stared dead at the door in front of them. As they
approach, JC said,

"Ok, put the book away Justin."

"Why?" Justin asked in shock.

"Just do it please?" JC pleaded.

Justin smiled and put the book back in his bag that he was carrying. The
doors flew open and there stood the security guard.

"They're waiting for you. They're in the dance hall." He said.

They all walked by him, and Justin was the last one in and said,

"You know what?"

"What?" The guard said with a snicker.

Justin took out one of the stakes and ran it into the guard's chest, then
pulled it out. The man fell to the ground and turned to dust. Justin
quickly pushed up against the wall with fear in his eyes.

"Oh fuck.... Oh fuck...." Was all he could manage to say.

The other three looked with shock and horror.

"JC, I just killed somebody, I just...." Tears began to fill Justin's eyes.

Chris quickly walked over to him and looked up into his eyes.

"Justin, we had to do it. If it wasn't you, it would have been one of us."

Justin started to calm down.

"It's going to take some getting use to, I guess... Just remember, it's you
or them."

Justin nodded and started to walk away from the pile of dust. They walked
down the long hallway and were soon standing in front of the doors.

"I will go in first. Hold onto him and don't let go." JC said as he handed
the boy over to Joey.

JC pushed the doors open and stepped into the room. He froze at what he
saw. There were five wooden poles and on the poles, were Xaina, Shara,
Little John, Kim, and Red.  They had metal spikes sticking out of their
shoulders, holding them onto the poles.

"Oh God!" JC said in a whisper.

"God had nothing to do with it." Brady said as he came out from the pole
behind Little John.

"Brady you son of a bitch."

"Hey, watch it. We wouldn't want any thing bad to happen to Lance now,
would we?"

"Where is he?!?"

"Oh he's around here somewhere, safe, for now. But it's up to you to keep
him that way."  JC closed his eyes and telepathically said,

"Bring in the boy."

A burst of fire blew open the door and hit the back of the huge room. Out
of the rubble stepped in Justin, Chris and Joey with the boy.

"Nick!" Brady said with a slight gasp

"Brady!" Nick said as he tried to break free from Joey's grasp.

Brady's face turned to Vampire form.

"If you so much as hurt him JC I will....." Brady was cut off.

"Kill me, yes, he told me this already." JC said as he walked over to Nick
and picked him up by chin, then turned back to Brady.

"See, Brady, I love Lance, you love him. Let's make a trade, or I can just
snap his neck right here, and we can take Lance back the hard way." JC said
with an angered face.

"What makes you think, I would let him go?" Lael said as he came from the
back of the room, with all the others.

"I will take him back if I have to." JC said as he set the boy down.

Then a deep laugh filled the room.

"Get the others to get these fucker's out of here." Alex said as he
motioned his head to the poles.

Joey, Chris, and Justin watched in shock as they saw there friends being
pulled away on huge poles. Joey glanced around. He couldn't see Maggie in
the group of people.  Brady hadn't taken his eyes off JC the whole time and
JC had only taken his eyes off Brady to look at Lael.

"Let him go JC!"

"Bring me Lance and I will Brady."

Once again a deep laugh filled the room. Only it wasn't Lael's, it was
Lance's.

"What makes you think I want to go with you JC?" Lance said as he walked
over and rested his head on Lael's shoulders.

In shock JC let go of the boy and he ran off and gave Brady a hug, then
Brady pushed Nick behind him to protect him.

JC was in shock.

"Lance what....what are you doing?"

Lance gave Lael a passionate kiss, and then looked back at JC.

"You see Josh, Lael has given me something, that you could never
give. Immortality."

The other three stood back in shock. Then the doors in the back opened and
out came 30 to 40 Vampires.

"Come on JC we got to go!" Justin yelled as he grabbed JC by the arm.

"NO! We're not leaving him here!" JC said as he pushed Justin to the floor.

"Come now JC. The better man won. Just live with it." Lael said with a
snicker.

"Man, we don't have time for this bullshit! They're going to kill us!"
Chris said as he grabbed hold of JC and they all ran out of the room.

	Chris got in the Jeep followed by Justin and Joey who was dragging
JC along with him. Chris sped off and looked in the mirror. JC couldn't
help it any more and a tear fell down his face. Justin saw this but
couldn't think of anything to say.

"JC man, we can get him back." He finally said.

"No we can't." JC sad quietly.

"Sure, we will just......"

"DIDN'T YOU HEAR WHAT SAMMY FUCKING TOLD US! Once made a Vampire, there is
no way out."

"Then what are we going to do?" Joey asked.

JC swallowed hard and said,

"Kill him too."

Chris looked in shock as he drove and said,

"Kill Lance? There has got to be some other way."

They all sat in silence. They were going to have to kill one of their best
friends. They pulled into Justin's house, got out and quickly went into the
house. JC didn't say a word the whole time he just slowly walked up the
stairs, and into his room. He climbed into bed, and started to cry into his
pillow. He sat up and tried to regain his composer. His face grew red from
the tears streaming down his face. He clinched his fists and put them up to
cover his eyes, as his mouth made a sorrowful and angry frown. He lay back
down and thought about Lance. Then a knock came on the door.

"JC?" Justin asked in a quite voice.

"Yeah Just?" JC said as he cried.

"Can I come in?"

"Yeah."

Justin entered the room and saw JC now sitting up in his bed.

"You ok?" Justin asked with sorrow in his eyes.

"Oh yeah, I just saw my boyfriend walking around dead. There's no hope for
him, but um... I'm doing fine."

"I didn't mean to, I jus...

"I know, what kinda friend would you be if you didn't come check up on me?"
JC said as he tried to hold back his tears.

Seeing JC crying made Justin cry too. Down the hall he could hear the two
sobs of Joey, and Chris as they thought about the situation.

"JC I wish I could just make it all go back to the way it was, I don't want
to be some fucking Vampire slayer. I just want to be me." Justin said as he
lost his balance and fell on the floor and started to cry, "It's my fault,
I shouldn't have gone to the club, I shouldn't have let you go. It's my
fault."

JC sat on the floor right next to Justin.

"You couldn't have helped it Justin. You just.. couldn't have helped it."
JC said as he started to cry harder now.

They both lied on the floor crying, till they both fell asleep right next
to each other.


Back in Chris' room.

"I can't believe he.....he's gone." Joey said as sat up against the wall
crying.

Chris simply sat not saying anything on his bed staring into oblivion.

"Chris? Come on man. I need to talk to someone." Joey pleaded.

"I shouldn't have been mean to him." Chris said quietly.

"What?" Joey asked still crying.

"When we first met him. I...I told him, that, we probably wouldn't take him
because....we were actually trying to make it in the music bizz." Chris
said as tears streamed down his face.

Joey got up and walked over the bed and sat on the edge. They both cried,
till they too fell asleep.


Back at the light.


"I can't believe they bought it!" Brady said to Lael as they stood in the
basement where Lance was tied to a chair.

"Well, what can I say? I'm a good wizard!" Lael said.

"How long will she be like that?"

"Oh, I'd say for about another 5 minutes."

"Good! Cause I'm tired of this stupid body!" Yolanda said as she came in,
in the form of Lance.

"MMM MMMM!!" Lance yelled through his gag.

"What's the matter?" Lael said stroking the side of Lance's face, "I
thought you wanted to come here?"

"Mmmm MMM!!"

"Oh yeah! I put you under a spell! That's right, I forgot!" he said now
laughing, "Maggie!"

"Y...yes?" she said entering the room with her head down not looking at
Lance.

"Go check on our `guests' and make sure they're not dead! We still need
them!"

"Yes sir." She said still not looking at Lance.

She went to the room where Xaina and her team were being kept. They were
taken off of the boards to prevent them from bleeding to death considering
Lael still needed them as insurance. She felt incredibly guilty for helping
Lael, she felt like she was betraying the man she loved. She wasn't sure
what she was going to do, but she knew she had to do something to help. She
felt it was her destiny.

"What do you want?" Xaina said disgustedly as Maggie walked in.

"Shh! They'll hear us!" She said.

"I don't care!"

"Would you shut up! I'm going to help you!"

"Huh? What? I don't get it!" Xaina said now confused.

"I'm going to help you, I can't let you go, but I can help you get a
message to the guys."

"Just.. t..tell them that... tell them to r... remember what they have
learned...  They... they will need it. Only JC can stop him.. b.. but he
needs their help."

"Here! Drink this!" Maggie said giving her some water, "I'll get to them as
soon as I can!"

"Hurry!"

Once she finished tending to their wounds, she managed to slip away
unnoticed. She got to Justin's house as fast as she could. Once she finally
got there, she pounded on the door Joey was awakened by the knocking
first. He quickly got up and ran downstairs. He opened the door and had a
mixture of love and hate as soon as he saw her face.

"Joey!" She said trying to enter.

Her or her friends were no longer welcome in the house and she was hurt by
the force field.

"What does she want?!" Justin said coming down the stairs and looking out
the door.

"You have some nerve!" Joey said.

"B...but wait! I...it's not like that!" She said.

"To think. I thought you loved me! But you just used me to get to them! You
make me sick!" He said as he started to close the door.

"But I'm here to help!" she yelled just before he closed it all the way.

"Why should I believe you?"

"If you ever truly loved me, believe that I'm here to help, and that I
still do love you!"

Joey stood with the door open and was leaning against it. He stood there
for about a minute and then said,

"Come in Maggie!"

"What are you doing?!?" Justin yelled.

"I believe her!"

"What's going on down here?" JC said as he came down the stairs with Chris.

"What the.." Chris began to say.

"What the fuck is she doing here?" JC yelled.

"I invited her in!" Joey said.

"What the hell is wrong with you huh? Don't you get it? They're the bad
guys! We have to kill them before they kill us!"

"Josh, calm down!" Justin said.

"NO! He doesn't seem to get it! Here, let me explain it to you! You see
her? She's evil!  You see us? We're good! Evil.. Good! Get it? Now this is
what we do to evil things."

He broke off a piece of wood to the stairs and went for Maggie. Justin
froze him before he could get to her.

"Go over there! Quick!" Justin said ushering Maggie and Joey behind JC,
"Chris, give me a pillow!"

"Here!" Chris said throwing him a pillow.

"Ok, watch out, I'm gonna unfreeze him!"

"Be careful!"

Justin unfroze him and the wood went through the pillow. Once JC realized
that it wasn't Maggie, he was furious.

"What the fuck did you do that for? You are all fucking crazy! Don't you
care that her kind turned one of you best friends into a vampire, and now
we can never get him back?" He yelled.

"HE'S NOT A VAMPIRE!" Maggie yelled.

"What?" they all asked.

"He's not a vampire. It was just a trick. Lael transformed Yolanda into
Lance. It was all a set-up. He's still alive."

"Take me to him now!" JC said.

"Wait! You are in no condition to fight!" Justin said.

"I'll tell you when I can and cannot fight!"

"Josh, he's right!" Joey said.

"I can't believe you people!"

"Josh, they are right! You mustn't forget all that you have learned! If you
fight now, like this, you will fail and all hope will be lost." Sammy said,
appearing in Justin's hands.

"Don't you get it?" Maggie said, "This is all apart of his plan! By
kidnapping Lance, he wants to make you go psycho and try and come after him
when he knows you're not ready."

"He is ready, he just needs to remain focussed and remember everything he
has learned, the same goes for the rest of you!"

"I have a message for you!"

"What?" they all asked.

"It's from Xaina. She said to remember all that you have learned, and that
you'll need it.  She said that only JC can stop Lael, but he'll need the
rest of your guys help."

"We need to stick together if we're gonna do this!" Justin said.

"He is right! You have proven that you have mastered your powers. They come
naturally to all of you. You have to plan this very carefully! This is not
something you can just go into without thinking it through first." Sammy
said.

"Yeah, she's right! We have to come up with a plan!" Chris said.

"Well, I'm here to help!" Maggie said.

They all looked at her, Sammy was right she did pull through for them when
it counted.

"Sammy, come here. I wanna see something." JC said.

She floated over to him and he started to flip through her.

"Hey! Slow down, that tickles!" she said.

They all laughed slightly it eased up a little of the tension that was in
the room. After about 5 minutes of flipping through the book, JC found what
he was looking for. He was looking for the pictures of all of them to see
if they had changed and what they looked like. The picture of Joey now had
Maggie in it they were fighting back to back. The picture of Justin had him
fighting Alex, in the background it had what looked like Sammy protecting
him with some kind of force field that was causing him to glow. He found
the picture of Chris, it had him in a bunch of different places with
various poses, most of which were him stabbing some vampires. Finally, the
one he had truly been looking for, the one of him and Lance. Lance was
taking on Brady and JC was fighting with Lael.  They both appeared to be
fighting hard this brought a semi-smile to JC's face.

"What?" Justin asked.

"We're gonna do it!" JC said closing the book.

"What? When? How?" Justin asked.

"I have a plan!"

"Mind sharing it with the rest of us?" Joey asked.

"Well, first of all, Maggie, you gotta get back before they start to look
for you."

"But.. I wanna help!" She protested.

"You will! Just be prepared to fight with us!"

"I will!"

"Ok, well, I'll walk you out." Joey said.

"Don't go far! WE need to plan this thing out!" JC said as they walked to
the door.

"I knew you wouldn't let us down!" Joey said as they stepped out onto the
porch.

"I'm.. I'm so sorry! I could've saved Lance, but I didn't!" She said
starting to cry.

"Shh! It's ok, all that matters is that you're doing the right thing now!"
He said stroking the side of her face.

"I.. I love you Joey!"

"I love you!"

They kissed for about five minutes until Justin came outside and said,

"Uh hem.. Um.. Joe?"

"WHAT?" he said annoyed.

"Um... JC said to come and get you. We gotta figure out how we're gonna do
this."

"I'll be there in a minute!"

"Um.. ok." He said walking back inside.

"I'd... I'd better go." Maggie said pulling away from him.

"Yeah, me too."

"Joey, I'm scared!"

"Me too, but don't worry, it'll be ok!"

"I hope you're right!"

"Me too!"

"Bye!"

"Bye! I love you!"

"I love you too!"

She started to walk down the block and he stood there for a couple of
seconds watching her walk. He finally went inside and the rest of the guys
were waiting for him.

"Ok, here's the plan! As hard as this may be for all of us, we're gonna
have to wait another day before we make a rescue attempt."

"What?" they all said.

"Look, this is harder for me than all of you. But, this is what we have to
do! We have to attack during the day. I know that they will not do anything
to Lance or Xaina or the rest of the guys. They need them for
insurance. They will wait for an attack from us and we will give it to
them. They will probably expect us to attack as soon as possible. That's
another reason I wanna wait. Also, we will be able to have Sammy help
us. She'll be able to come out of the book, and even though it'll only be
for a short time, we can use all the help we can get. We have to buy some
more weapons, but before we do, Justin, I want you to ask Sammy, not now,
if there are any spells to give us some weapons."

"Ok!" Justin said.

"Now, it's late! We've had a long day and we need some sleep. Rest up!
We'll need all of our strength. When we are all up tomorrow, we are going
to workout! We have to work on our powers, now everybody to bed now!"

"Sir yes sir!" Chris said.

They all went upstairs and into their rooms. Even though they all had a lot
on their minds, they fell right to sleep.

Maggie went around the corner of the street and began to look around. She
then heard a match strike and the face of her brother from the darkness
appeared.

"So, what did you and Joey have to talk about?" he said suspiciously.

"Alex what are you doing here?" Maggie asked with fear, but trying to hide
it with a smile.

"I could ask you the same thing."

"I.....I....."

"YOU TRADER!!" He said as his deep voice got deeper and his face turned to
the Vampire form.

He yelled and he lunged at Maggie and she yelled,

"Alex...NO!!!"


TBC..
