The woods were silent and still. The trees were motionless as the wind stopped. The snow crunched softly as Tré moved between the trees, searching for his prey. A small breeze blew behind him. Tré smirked to himself, ‘It seems my prey has to come to me for a change. This will be fun’ he thought.
He quickly jumped to one side as Mikey pounced on the air where Tré was a mere moment ago. He looked around to quickly analyse the situation and there they were, the other five vampires he had been hunting now running towards him. Tré dodged a second attack from Ray with ease, moving straight into Frank’s reach. Frank kicked Tré hard into a tree, making the tree snap and collapse under the force of the attack.
The vampires quickly moved out of the way of the falling tree and continued their relentless attacks. Seconds began to feel like hours as their super fast attacks went on, being blocked almost effortlessly. Mikey landed on Mike after being thrown across the clearing and they shared the same look of fierce determination not to die in this fight without taking their enemy with them at the very least.
Billie nodded to Frank as they both attacked Tré from different angles together. Gerard watched from a high tree branch with an emotionless expression as Tré grabbed Billie Joe by the throat and threw him around, knocking Frank away, then pinning him to the ground with a stake above his heart.
“Looks like you’re the first to go, my friend.” Tré sneered down at him.
Just as Billie Joe looked up into the eyes of his killer, a small dagger flew down from a tree. The tiny blade sliced Tré’s face in a thin line of red before landing in the snow. Gerard’s voice rang down from above, “Get him away from where the blood fell!” With new determination, Billie wrestled Tré away from the blood until Ray could get a grip on their enemy and throw him into the trees. Billie, Ray and Frank quickly followed to keep the immortal hunter occupied as Gerard jumped down from his perch.
Mikey rushed to Gerard to protect him while his brother began to draw a pentagram around the bloody dagger in paraffin oil. Mike kept his eyes on Billie, ready to rush in and block an attack aimed at his lover the moment he needed to.
Tré kicked Ray away with ease and while spinning, drove his wooden stake into Frank’s heart.
Time seemed to freeze as the small light in Frank’s eyes faded into nothingness. As Frank’s body dropped lifelessly onto the cold ground Gerard’s voice cried through the woods, “Frankie!” Tears streamed down Gerard’s cheeks as he watched his lover begin to turn to dust in the snow. He fought the urge to run to him, and instead stayed to finish the task he had to do. He pulled a lighter from his pocket and lit the paraffin oil. “M-Mikey I’m sorry f-for this...”
“What?” Mikey looked down at his brother with tear-filled, yet spirited eyes. Seeing his closest friend die in front of him made him only more determined to make the bastard who killed him pay.
“This requires sacrifice.” Gerard reached up and grabbed his brother’s arm before chanting in a voice so small it was practically a whisper. “Take this blood and remove the magic held within. Let the humanity take its rightful place in the soul. Take away the magic holding his strength and destroy it! For this I give the immortality of myself and my brother. “
As Gerard’s chant ended, both he and Mikey collapsed onto the snow, unconscious. Billie grinned as Tré began to stagger. “Let’s have an unfair fight Tré.” Using all his vampire strength, Billie punched Tré hard in the face.
“You have to kill him now Billie!” Mike shouted while checking on Gerard and Mikey.
Billie grabbed Tré’s leg as Tré attempted to kick him in the stomach and flipped himself over it, kicking Tré in the head with both feet. “That was for kicking my ass in Judo asshole!” As they exchanged attacks Tré’s weakness was becoming clear. Billie Joe dodged a stake and kicked it out of Tré’s hand before grabbing him and pulling him in close. “And this is for all the vampires you’ve killed in cold blood.” Billie sank his fangs into his old friend’s neck and slowly drained him until he was dead.
Gerard crawled to Frank’s slowly fading body, sobbing. “I’m sorry Frankie... I’m so sorry...” A tear landed on Frank’s cheek as the last of his body faded into dust and Gerard cried his broken heart out.
Mikey’s eyes fluttered open as Ray staggered towards him, “I feel... funny...”
Ray’s eyes widened in shock, “Mikey I can hear a heartbeat coming from you...”
“Gerard?! Gerard what have you done to me?!” Mikey screamed at his brother, who simply sobbed over the dust of his lover, mumbling “I love you”.
“No... I hear two heartbeats, there’s another from Gerard!”
Mikey looked ready to kill his brother, “Oh God I’m human!”
Billie slowly walked to Mike, wiping blood from the side of his mouth. “We should leave, shouldn’t we?”
Mike nodded, “There’s nothing we can do.” He turned and started leading Billie away from the clearing.
“Wait! Billie Joe come here!” Gerard looked up at Billie with fierce eyes. He pulled Billie in close once Billie was arm’s reach and whispered harshly in his ear, “If you hadn’t bumped into Frankie we wouldn’t have saved you two from that hunter and we wouldn’t be here and Frankie would still be alive. Not only that but I had to give up both Mikey’s and my own immortality to save all your asses. So remember our deal. Now get out of my sight before I use the stake in what’s left of Frank’s heart to kill you right here.”
Billie ran back to Mike, quickly grabbing his hand and running away from the war-zone, tears running freely down his face. “Why are you crying Kitten?” Mike asked.
“I just killed someone I was once friends with and watch someone who saved me die, I’m allowed to cry.”
“Just tell me this, was Gerard angry with you when he spoke to you?”
Billie simply nodded in reply and Mike’s eyes widened in fear. He knew this wasn’t going to be over for a long time, and they may not survive if they see Gerard again in the future, even if he is human.
Gerard stood and looked at Mikey, “I’m sorry. But I promise you I’ll make this right. We’ll get our immortality back somehow.”
Ray looked at the brothers, “I can’t turn you into vampires again, it’s a one-time thing...”
Gerard looked determined, “There are other ways to become immortal.”
