Luke Josh I am Your Father

Josh PoV

Long time, no post, I'm still alive-ish and this is still being worked on, just way too lazy, working a bit much and well, general writers block kinda stuff.

I just finished shaving and come out of the bath room to watch some cable when I herd what sounded like an argument right outside. I'm ignore it, someone else can call the security, I just want to watch some shows.

" Oh my god, he bit me!"

" So!"

" You bit me, oh god, I'm not ready for a liquid diet, I can feel it now!"

This had my attention, someone was screaming about being bitten, I grab my phone and head for the door, maybe not the best idea, maybe I should call security, but something about the voices just out side was familiar. I open the door and too my surprise, uncle Sam's standing right outside along with his friend who was holding his hand like he'd got viciously mauled by a pit bull, with my two cousins I met earlier at the hospital when we went to see great grandpa and then another person, who looked just like me, a younger me. Okay, I don't think I have any illegitimate kids and this guy be a little old for to be mine, but there was something about him, I could just feel it, almost sense him, like I can my sister.

" Oh shut up, I didn't even break skin you mellow dramatic spaz!" My younger twin near yells at my brothers friend.

" Mike you don't bite people, even if he did kinda shove his hand in your face, that's." Sam stopped to think of what else to say. " It's just rude."

" Trying to shove me back to give me a stupid speech AGAIN, is rude." Mike, the look a like now had a name... Oh god it couldn't be.

" You're defending him?!" Sams friend squeaks out.

Nicole clears her throat and points at me. " Um guys, can you argue latter, we've got company."

Mike turns and looks at me, this near shocked expression comes over his face. " Oh man, you're going bald."

" Mike!" Sam looks a bit shocked at what my younger looking than me father had said.

Mirror, Mirror

" This blows." I stare hard at the mirror trying to will my reflection to appear. Apparently invites into hotel rooms don't count, I don't know why, isn't it a residence?

" Comes all the way here to see his kids, just to spend it in front of a mirror." Sam mumbles shaking his head, given I have zero reflection, easy to see him standing behind me.

" Why?" I herd Josh's plea.

Josh, Kaylee, why I have come to this hotel in the first place. I sighed and turned around. I knew I'd have explaining, something I couldn't do, fully, cause I don't know why myself. I'm not sure what he's exactly asking here.

" Why?" I say as I walk towards a couch and flop down.

Sam starts knocking on the joining door. " I'm getting Kaylee for this." Sam had said mom be unlikely to be here, she tended to spend most of her time at the hospital with grandpa, since he could go any day now.

Kaylee opens the door. " Josh I told you I." She shut up when she saw Sam and then glanced over the room, her eyes then landed on me." Oh my god." she whispered, but I could hear her perfectly.

Leave the Stakes Out

Chris and Edgar sat, just staring at Mike, this wasn't going to go over well, Mike kept glancing at them and would narrow his eyes. I sat between them, last thing I wanted was Mike biting and this time with fangs.

" So why, why did you just disappear?" Josh had many questions about their fathers disappearance, for some reason him and Kaylee refused to believe he died, at least completely, they'd just knew he was still around, they just didn't know how to explain it and it was harder on them cause no one believed them, just thought it was kids in denial.

" I couldn't do anything, I couldn't give you a normal life, not like this." Mike sighed. " It was better for you two, it wasn't like I could leave, you were back with Star in a week, I was stuck in a cave and David wasn't going to let me out just to say good bye."

" You didn't write, say what happened, you just vanished, everyone thought you were dead." Kaylee was hurt, understandable, Mike disappeared off the planet for over a decade.

" I AM dead." Mike says flatly, but then visibly relaxes. I got the distinct feeling he's forcing himself to play civil, for appearance sake.

I watched my brother, something about him, then it dawned on me. He was acting human, very human and after the two encounters I had, I knew very well what Mike would be like in the absent of humans around him. I knew what to look for and sure enough I'd see it, he was tense, I could tell that in the set of his shoulders even when looking relaxed, also his eyes had feral look to them. He must be uncomfortable putting up a human front for his kids.

" I couldn't interfere, I would have eventually if it wouldn't have caused issues, you two were just kids, I didn't want you to be near them, Hell, I don't want to be near them sometimes even now. It wouldn't have been good, you two ended up really messed up, your mom would have ended more messed up..." Mike then grumbles. " We were both kinda messed up, after that summer."

" Cause that albino wannabe, David right? Wou..." I jump as Mike suddenly puts his hand over my mouth and shakes his head. " What?" I ask soon mikes hand is gone.

" Sam, I don't know how you came out happy and thought it was fun, maybe you was always a little mental, but going through shit like that, you don't need a vampire to give you nightmares, you're already going to have them, what David did was different." Mike didn't look like he wanted to say what he meant by 'different'. " We couldn't talk to anyone about what happened, if we did, it couldn't be the whole truth, we'd be thought of as crazy, unless you been through it, you really wouldn't understand."

I swallowed, I never really thought of how Mike and star handled things, though everything was all normal again. I then glanced at Nicole and Cris, Cris came out fine... ish, he just developed this determined hate of vampires, like Edgar... Nicole, thinking about it, she reminds me of Star or even Mike, closed off, maybe sometimes depressed... I wondered what changed about me... Wait.. " What do you mean always a little mental?"

" Uncle Sam, sorry, but, you are a little mental." Josh says, I could only stare at him. " You gave me a vampire hunting kit when I was 10 and said practice makes perfect. What was I supposed to practice on?" Josh sighed and looked over at Mike. " Well glad you're back dad... Just, don't disappear again?"

" Scouts honor." Mike holds up a few fingers in a scout sign.

" Didn't you drop out of the scouts?" I distinctly remembered Mike didn't want to go back after finding out about poison oak hands on when camping.

" Still counts!" Mike smirks and starts talking with his kids, I take this moment to shoo Edgar out as fast as possible, least with one gone, less likely to be a prob, Edgar decides to go after much needed convincing and Cris goes along, though he failed at getting Nicole to follow. Now the big problem... Telling mom, I didn't know how to break this to her, it was going to be a lot in such a short time, with gramps dying, I don't know if it'd be a good idea at all.
