This Can't Be Happening

The Final Chapter

….._...

Tom was out cold, Casey walking around the room after she had gotten done with him.

She looked over at his prone figure on the bed; he was still streaked with sweat. She sniffed and then grabbed a light blue robe, covering her body with it before heading out the doors.

…..

Romeo held Collette in his arms, "Told you I would kill him." He laughed.

Collette hit him on the arm, looking up at him with bright eyes, "You shouldn't have made me worry about you like that."

"I did it for us baby, it doesn't matter anymore." He lowered his head to hers, sweeping his lips across those of his mates. They held still for a moment before turning at the sound of feet padding towards them.

…

Noelle and Georg walked out into the gardens; the moon was but a sliver in the sky. But it still glowed brightly, illuminating the earth and the two on the ground.

"Do you want to stay here Georg?" Noelle turned and looked at him with wide eyes.

Georg pulled her to his body, "Of course, I would stay here if I could… but I have the band to worry about. They need me, and I have an obligation too."

Noelle closed her eyes, "Do you love me?"

Georg kissed her hard on the mouth, when he withdrew he gasped a little, "Yes."

Noelle nodded a little, "Let's go in, I have to do something."

…

Casey leaned on the wall outside of the room Bill and Alex occupied in her house.

She knocked twice and then waited.

Shortly after that Alex came out, looking peeved, "What?" she growled.

Casey lifted an eyebrow.

"Your brother and father are both dead."

"I know this; do you think I could not feel their passing?"

Casey shrugged, "Just felt like you should know, because now the wolf pack has to look for a new leader. If you aren't there soon some upstart could take the roll and banish you."

"Minor details," Alex waved her hand. Her eyes were still glowing and Casey was pretty sure nothing would deter her. "Unless you want to take Bill on his first hunt I suggest you give me a while," Alex grinned as Casey shuddered.

Alex as the next in line for the throne power wise had ordered everyone into submission. Romeo would take control but his child could not rule. Only a Dire's child would but Alex could take care of it later. As it was she turned back to face the awakening Bill. Alex watching with admiration in her eyes as he arose. Any small imperfection he had had was gone. His eyes were somehow a brighter amber and his skin was even paler. Alex reached out to him.

"How do you feel?"

"I don't know," he said.

"I guess that's normal," she shrugged. 'I was born this way'.

"It's insane," he said.

"Are you hungry?" Alex asked she was pretty sure he was and she needed to get him away from people if he was.

"Hungry?"

"Thirsty?" she asked it was more accurate.

"Yes," he said after a minute.

"Come with me," she said gripping his hand in a death grip and pulling him down the stairs and towards the jail. It would be easier this way.

…..

Casey looked down the hall; she caught Kyle looking at her in disapproval.

His gaze spoke where his voice did not.

She curled her lip up at him, telling him to fuck off in her own way

Kyle rolled his eyes and watched his sisters glow brightly in the darkness.

There was a reason he usually kept her locked in the dungeon while she was in heat.

And it didn't have anything to do with her bitch ass attitude.

Once she did that with a guy while she was in that stage…

Tom was doomed.

…

"Alex…" Noelle appeared out of the tree line beside her friend.

Bill had drunk his fill of the humans in the jail, Alex letting him gorge himself until he could barely stand straight.

"What?" Alex was a bit snappy, Bill needed his rest.

"Could you do something for me Alex? I swear, I would never ask you to do anything else for me ever again." Noelle looked at the ground.

She had left Georg in bed, asleep, and had come looking for the one vampire she actually trusted. She wanted to make Georg her own, at any cost.

Alex looked at her fully, using her mind to seek out the thing Noelle wanted.

"You…"

"Yes."

…

Tom sat up in the overly large bed and looked around; he heard the sounds of water running before he saw the light underneath the door. He got out of the bed and grabbed his clothes.

It had been a good fuck, one of his best, but he wasn't all that much into staying.

He wanted to know what was going on with Bill.

Before he could pull his shirt on, however, Casey suddenly appeared directly in front of him.

"Where are you going?" she asked, looking at him and placing one hand on his chest.

He felt a jolt of something pass through her fingers and seep into his skin. Tom grunted and lifted a hand, rubbing his chest as he eyed her curiously.

"To find Bill." He answered.

Casey shook her head, "No," she pushed him back onto the bed, "you have to stay here, or you will die. I wouldn't even trust a newborn with their own flesh and blood. No telling what he might do, even if he has fed." She looked up at the high ceiling.

Tom furrowed his brows, "Newborn?"

Casey turned away from his and he noticed that she was in a towel; his eyes immediately ran up her legs. When the towel stopped he had to stop himself from groaning.

She opened her wardrobe and dropped the towel as she took a night gown from a hanger and slipped it on.

Tom watched as she came back to him, "You will stay here, or die, your choice." She told him, going around to the other side of the bed.

She lay down and sighed, falling into a light catnap.

…..

Tom sighed. Normally he would have gone out immediately but after what had happened to Gustav...

He paused and thought slowly reaching out to his twin with his mind it was not something he did often. He felt something strange in his brother's mind something sinister. He recoiled, Bill's mind was always open never had it been like that. He froze he had no idea what to do.

Bill's attention drifted towards Noelle.

"Bill, Love come here," Bill came to her instantly. He was still slightly groggy. She gripped his hands and twisted him. Suddenly he was behind her with his arms crossed in front of her. She leaned against his arm and Bill rested his chin on her head.

"Is he okay with this?"

"Was he?" Noelle countered.

"It was necessary," Alex said unswayed.

"So is this," Noelle said.

"According to what? Your heart?"

"No, is that what got you into this mess?"

Noelle looked down, she said nothing. Alex could be particularly inquisitive when it came to the matter of Changing someone.

"I love him Alex, as much as you love Bill." She whispered.

Alex quirked an eyebrow up, not quite believing that she loved someone as much as she loved Bill. She loved Bill with everything in her being.

"Let me think about it for a little while, I will give you my answer shortly." She stated, disappearing along with Bill.

././././././././././././././.

Gustav was undisturbed in his room, sleeping away.

./././././././././././././././

Noelle returned to Georg, he was sitting on her bed, looking out the window, when she returned.

She sat on her knees behind him, hands rubbing along his back, "Do you believe in creatures of the night?" she asked.

Georg looked down, that was an odd question.

"I just want to know."

He hummed, feeling his muscles loosen in his back.

"I guess, I believe what I see, and I have never seen a vampire or a werewolf or whatever." He looked at her over his shoulder.

"Why?"

"I was just wondering, umm, what would you feel like if you did happen to see any of them?" she looked back at him, her hands stopped moving along his back.

./././././././././././././././

Casey felt Tom get off the bed; she opened her eyes and looked at him.

He was heading for the door.

She hissed and moved, appearing in front of him, leaning against the door.

"Where are you going?"

Tom blinked, "Weren't you just over there?"

She lifted an eyebrow, "You didn't answer my question."

"I was going out to see about Bill."

"He isn't here right now."

"What? Where is he then?"

"Alex took him out to dinner."

"What!"

"Hush, you're too loud." She lifted a hand and rubbed her ear tenderly.

././././././././././././

Alex knew she had to take Bill back to Dire Mansion sooner or later, that didn't mean she wanted to do it. She held his hand in hers as they went to the house.

Alex could feel the confusion of the family. They could sense a new link and a new ruler and it was all too new for a family stuck in the dark ages. Bill grew anxious and more and more reluctant to keep going as they neared the house. It wasn't surprising. He was new and un-used to having everyone in his head. The emotions from the house were probably flooding his mind; he had no idea how to stop them.

"Bill, think of a very strong memory," she said pausing, realizing that Bill should know how to keep people out on his own because she could do it but it would help if he knew what to do. Alex had no idea what he was thinking about. "Wrap your mind with it." Alex could feel him trying she closed her eyes and slipped into his mind to show him how. When she was sure that he could manage it she started walking again.

"How did you learn all this?" he asked her.

"The same way you learned how to walk and talk," she said with a shrug. She threw the mansion's doors open. Bill stared, everything was so much clearer in his sight, the murals and what was going on. He could smell wolves and blood. Yet it felt comfortable.

He felt safe; he could feel the way everyone differed to Alex. She was the strongest one they thought they had. They watched Bill with wide eyed but since Alex had made him they accepted him. If Bill closed his eyes he could see the complex web of relationships. Massive family's, mate bonds. True bonds.

A small group of children came forward. Something told him they weren't vampires. They reached out gently towards him. Bill knelt so he was on the same level as the children. He could feel the room filling. When he stood up he saw that the room was packed, all 5 stories up banisters and stairs full of people.

He noticed eerily that anyone over the age of 13 or 14 was paired up with someone. The crowd parted as a familiar face came through. Romeo stood there and just behind him was Collette.

"It seems my family we have a problem," Romeo said in a voice that everyone could hear.

"There is no problem, cousin," Alex said, "You earned the throne in your own right I have no wish to claim it."

"My child cannot rule, Alexzandria, I am not a Dire and my child may not even be a wolf, you know the rules of succession as well as I."

"Romeo, my father did not rule judiciously he ruled for his own gain. He weakened his own people. There is no man strong enough to take your place. I am the only female strong enough to take it even if that followed the laws of succession. You killed James you will rule until a challenger can come. A pack without a strong leader is weak; it will take both of us to lead."

"I am aware Alexzandria that things must change but there is no one here who may even bare a strong son."

"I am Alexzandria; I am the strongest wolf in the dire house hold. My father ruled this mansion for 3 generations. His own son, my brother, was the only one strong enough to destroy his rule. Romeo you are alpha, I pledge to you my oldest and strongest son to lead in your stead when he has grown to age." Everyone stared.

Casey stiffened and turned her head so she was gazing at the door.

"Stay here." She told Tom, and then left the room.

"What?" she snapped immediately.

Kyle snarled at her, "Do you have any idea what you have done!"

"I know exactly what I did!"

"YOU RUINED HIS LIFE!" Kyle leapt for her, but Casey was ready and met him head on

The collision echoed in the halls, their sisters huddled in their room, scared.

Tom heard the impact and watched the door with wide eyes.

Casey growled, "I did no such thing, he wanted it, and he got it." She pushed against Kyle, her canines lengthening.

He shuddered, feeling her dominant aura push against his own, trying to make him submit.

"You may as well have put a fucking leash on his neck."

Casey went white, her markings showing though easily.

"I did no such thing." She hissed.

"Stop repeating yourself."

Casey lunged, going from human to tiger in two seconds.

Kyle brought his arms up and she connected with him, breaking them.

He growled and then shifted himself.

In his place was an orange Bengal tiger, fur standing on end as he tried to look bigger.

Casey hissed, throwing a paw out.

He leapt and flew into her side, throwing her back into the door behind her and cracking it down the middle.

Alex's people had cleared out and Bill turned to her.

"Did you just give these people our first child?"

"Our first male," Alex said. "It's not until he's 14!" she protested as he stared her down.

"You didn't even talk to me about this!"

"I had no choice! It is my fault my family is weak I have to make them strong again!"

"You should have told me!"

"It was my decision!"

"It is my son! It is my decision," Bill's voice echoed in Alex's mind forcing her to her knees. It wasn't truly Bill but the wolf Alex's blood had given him.

"I should have told you," Alex said after a pause in which she fought her urge to fight his command. When she looked up at him her eyes were hot. Bill was surprised enough by his own primal actions but the pure animalistic look on Alex's face broke him free of the wolves hold.

././././././././././././.

Casey lurched to the side as Kyle lunged for her soft belly.

She growled loudly, forcing her dominant aura over his, smothering him with it. 'Hold Kyle, I am the Leader.' She hissed.

He was bowed underneath her power, 'Damn it Casey, stop!' he rolled his eyes up.

She stepped carefully until she was standing over him.

'Submit to me.' She growled.

He bucked, his head colliding with her door, making the crack grow, it released some splinters, but they paid it no mind.

She placed her front paws on his back, 'Submit.'

He whined as she put pressure on his spine.

She could seriously injure him like that, sure he would heal, but it would be an inconvenience to lay around in his tiger form waiting.

'Fine, I submit to you.' He waited.

Casey released his back from her paws and then retracted her aura, 'Don't ever do that again.' She told him,

When he sat up her paw lashed out and she caught him in the cheek with a claw.

His head smashed into the door once more and it came tumbling down.

They growled at each other, Kyle bleeding, Casey with her ears laid back.

"Heilig sheisse!"

They turned their eyes to him and then stopped moving entirely.

Tom had turned ghostly pale, he gripped the bedpost, and his eyes were wider than saucers.

Casey groaned, looking back at Kyle before returning to her human form.

Tom seemed to have a slight heart attack at that.

"Lay on the bed before you hurt yourself."

He did as she said, not because he wanted to, but because she had approached him and had placed her hands on his chest to push him back.

He looked up at her with wide eyes, "What the hell are you?" he asked.

"I am me, you just didn't know my other side." She answered, feeling the need to be truthful.

"You're a cat!"

"I'm a tiger, not a freaking cat, those things are scrawny." She rolled her eyes.

He gulped, "You're not going to kill me right?"

"No, I'm not going to do anything to you…"

"Why does it feel like there is something else?"

"…" Casey looked down, from the doorway Kyle transformed.

"Tell him or I will." He growled.

Casey curled her lip up, "Shut up Kyle, or I will snap your back for real this time." She threatened, glancing in his direction.

Tom blinked and flinched at the mental imagery.

She sighed and looked back down, "Well… how can I start this…"

She sat down and looked at her hands.

"I am in heat, and when I get this way I need to stay away from all things male. Kyle doesn't count as he is family," she looked at her brother, standing in the doorway, "you messed yourself up by coming after me."

Tom looked ready to protest, but she placed her hand on his cheek, "Whatever male I sleep with while I am in heat becomes my mate. Unlike Alex, who can fucking mate whoever she wants and not be in heat to do so."

He furrowed his eyebrows, "Wait… you mean…"

"Bill is Alex's, no longer just yours. Now, you kind of belong to me, though I am the dominant one in the pairing as you are human." She looked down at him.

He frowned.

"If I were you," Kyle said glaring at his sister, "I would hope Alex likes you because she's Bill's maker to. He has to do what she says at least until he gets used enough to what he is to realize as the male he is automatically stronger than she but that can take forever!"

Tom could feel a whisper of something else in his mind coming from Kyle. Finally it registered. 'If you wish to be stronger than your mate and have your brother go to Alex and plead with her she will make you like us and like Bill. I cannot.'

He blinked; Casey glared at Kyle harsher still, "Leave." She ordered.

Kyle snorted but left, not wanting his back snapped in half.

She turned back to Tom, "Sleep." Her eyes caught his, she didn't blink, making her pupils dilate.

"Sleep now…"

He felt tired, his eyes closed, his head fell back and then he turned on his side and fell into a deep sleep.

Casey sighed, running a hand through her hair, walking to the other side of the bed. She glanced up and saw that the door was still dead, with a shrug she decided to fix it the next day.

She fell onto the bed and curled up around a pillow.

./././././././././././././././././

"Noelle!" Alex's presence roared into Noelle's mind. The new power of Alpha strong in her mind.

"Ow!" Noelle complained back mentally.

"I will do as you wish!" and she was gone. Alex had something else to investigate. Noelle could find her.

"Alex," Kyle said quietly to the woman as she and her mate appeared.

"She is a hypocrite," Alex said stepping into the house.

"She can be," Kyle sighed.

"Where is he?"

"With her," Kyle said glancing at Bill. It was hard to see the differences if you were human but Kyle could see the spread of perfection vampirism had brought him.

"Great," Alex said heading towards the room. "Kyle I need you if I am to do this right!"

"My twin?" Bill asked confused catching the ideas from Alex's mind.

"Yes Bill, Tom is going to be like us!"

…..

Tom opened his eyes to see Bill leaning over him, a happy smile over his lips.

He blinked, 'Bill…'

He looked around and saw Casey still asleep, her back to him.

He saw something that made his eyes widen, Kyle was back in tiger form. He was getting ready to jump, that much Tom could deduce, but on who?

Him, or Casey?

Then Kyle jumped and landed on the bed, Casey immediately waking up, but she was soon wrapped in his powerful grip.

He held his mouth open at her throat, she growled.

Alex swept into the room then, looking at them all before approaching Tom and Bill.

"Hypocrite." She muttered, seeing Casey awake and watching her.

Casey hissed and narrowed her eyes.

"What the fuck are you doing?" she growled.

"What I need to do."

With that Alex turned away from Casey and looked at Tom, "You know about us by now I am sure." She stated, looking into his mind and seeing the events that had passed.

He nodded.

"Well, I am going to make you one of us, if only because Bill would be sad if I didn't. Well, that and you could be stronger than her and settle her crazy ass down."

Tom sat up, "What are you going to do?" he asked.

"This," Alex said as Casey roared. Alex gripped Tom's arm and bit open his wrist she did not swallow the blood instead she put a large amount of it into Casey's mouth forcing her to swallow or to choke.

Alex was quicker than the pissed off girl. She ripped Casey's wrist open unceremoniously and filled a glass part way and shoving it at Tom who looked revolted he looked at his brother wide eyed.

"Just do it," Bill said happily. Tom closed his eyes and drank it.

Casey bucked and writhed, her eyes closed in concentration, "No! No, no, no, no!" she managed to get her arms free of Kyle's and scratched at his face.

He growled and closed his eyes, protecting his irises.

Alex rolled her eyes at Casey's behavior, "You're acting like such a child!" she reprimanded the other woman.

Casey whipped her head in Alex's direction, her form shifting as she struggled free of Kyle's hold.

She gathered her limbs under her body and leapt.

But before she could collide with Alex, Bill stepped in front of her and threw his arm out, catching her in the chest and throwing her across the room. She hit the wall and slid down, unconscious.

No one bothered to go to her all of Alex's attention was on Tom. The pair had their arms clasped. Alex took a quick second to grin a thanks at Bill who just watched the pair nervously.

Alex's eyes closed as Toms fingernails turned into claws and tore open her arms. Alex didn't move as slowly it faded and he began to droop.

Alex caught him and set him on the bed. Bill ran his fingers over the cuts on Alex's arms they healed and he licked the blood off of his fingers.

Kyle returned to his form, looking over the unconscious pair, "Now what? Will it take him as long to change as it did him?" he gestured to Bill.

"I don't know, I wasn't an alpha when I changed Bill. Casey's blood is Alpha, so to speak, it might go faster, it might be the same."

"Hm." Kyle sighed, running a hand through his hair, "She is going to kill me."

"Which is why we changed him, the male mate is more dominant over the female." Alex glanced at Bill.

"Lock her up then?"

"Sure?"

Kyle looked over at Casey and then went to her, lifting her to his shoulders and carrying her out the destroyed door.

"Who killed the door?" Alex asked

"She did," Kyle said.

"Figures," Alex rolled her eyes.

"Where is Noelle?" Alex said annoyed and she and Bill headed out.

Kyle locked his sister in the basement and then went to his sister's door, unlocking it. They peered at him from the bed and he smiled.

"You guys are safe now, don't worry about big sister right now ok?" he told them.

The oldest one nodded and the rest of them yawned.

Kyle shut their door and then looked in on Tom; the man was still and silent.

Kyle then went to his room and collapse on the bed, going to sleep almost instantly.

…

The next day Tom woke up and found the youngest girl sitting on his belly. He lifted his head and she smiled.

"Hi."

Kyle appeared in the doorway, "You're awake?" he looked surprised.

"I think so, unless this is a dream." Tom looked at his body.

"I feel different." He stated.

"You're tiger, of course you feel different." Kyle walked up to him and lifted his sister off of his body.

"My sister is still in the basement, but I guess we can let her go now."

./././././././././././././.

"Where were you?" Noelle demanded as Alex appeared in front of her.

"Places," Alex said with a glare.

"That's nice," Noelle said unhappily.

"Did you tell him?" Alex wanted to know what she was walking into.

"I told him what I am," she said. Alex rolled her eyes.

"Fun," Alex muttered and Bill trailed after her.

"You aren't going to turn him into a blood obsessed freak are you?" Alex glared at her.

"Shut it or I'll bite you and leave you both to figure it out on your own," Alex said showing fangs.

"Wait, what?" Noelle took a step back.

…

Tom blinked twice, his eyes adjusting to the darkness.

He looked around, trying to find Casey, Kyle said she had been locked up somewhere down here.

He saw her then, on the bed, she was facing the wall and hadn't seen him come in. But more than likely she had heard him.

He approached the bed, looking down at her still figure.

"So, you're awake…" She opened her eyes and looked up at him.

"Are you mad at me?" Tom asked Casey quizzically.

"Mhmm," Casey said rolling to her feet.

"I don't think you are," Tom said watching her. It was hard to believe that she had to obey him. Suddenly he got a flash of Bill's memory Alex and Bill arguing and Alex kneeling in ascent to BILL of all people and what he saw when she looked up was crazier.

It was obvious on her face, she liked her orders. It had to be part of the magic going on.

"I am, you were supposed to be a simple fuck," she looked up at him, "but me being in heat, and Alex coming to turn you… it messed things up." She sighed.

Tom blinked, "Heat?" he asked.

Casey slapped her face with her hand, "I forget sometimes…" She looked at him. "Heat is basically the human equivalent of having a monthly period." She explained.

Tom nodded, taking in the information, "But you have to obey me right?" he asked.

Casey sighed, "Yes, unfortunately." She growled a little at that, narrowing her eyes and lifting her upper lip so her teeth showed.

"Hey, stop that." Tom took a step back.

Casey choked on her growl, her lip went back down, and her eyes stopped narrowing.

She looked at him silently, glaring through normal sized eyes now.

He blinked, "That's how it works?" he asked.

Casey rolled her eyes and nodded, "Are we going to go now? I want to go see the sun…" she looked at the door.

"Well… ok, but stay close to me, I still don't know about this new reality." He stated.

Casey stifled a snarl as her body placed itself behind his.

./././././././././././././

They were in the forest, Casey going over how to change into a tiger with Tom. On his request, she wouldn't have done it otherwise.

"Reach into your mind and feel for the raw power inside. You will recognize it, as it will be new to you and feel foreign." She stated, tapping his head with her finger.

Tom closed his eyes and Casey punched him in the stomach, he landed on his ass, "What the fuck?" he asked, looking up at her as he stood back up.

"Don't ever lower your guard, you could be killed like that." She told him, standing back and looking down at him. She smiled, feeling dominant once more.

Until Tom stood back up.

He looked down at her, "Don't do that again." He told her.

She frowned, "Fine…"

He sighed and then mentally searched for that new entity she said he had.

It took all of three seconds to find it, when he did he frowned, "Got it… now what?"

She sighed, "Make it expand, go into it, do whatever it takes to have a warm buzz feeling go through your body." She explained.

He concentrated, wondering how he was supposed to do something to it when he didn't know how to get into it.

But he didn't have to do that for long, soon enough he felt that warm buzz go through his body.

Casey stepped back as he shifted, giving him space.

When he was done a tiger stood there, but it was black, with even blacker stripes that were barely visible against his coat.

Casey frowned, "Well, that's new." She muttered.

He looked at her, she blinked.

"YOU'RE STILL TALLER THAN ME! WHAT THE FUCK!" she sat on the ground and almost started crying.

././././././././././././././

Alex could see what was going on with Casey and Tom through Bill's connection to Tom. Casey hadn't really wanted Tom and now she was stuck with him. Alex really wanted to laugh her ass off.

She really did think it was good for Casey to be second, Alex was really starting to realize it wasn't as bad as it seemed… Casey would to. There was no more worrying about everything, no more uncontrolled heat, no more being chased and hunted like an animal for your power. It really wasn't that bad.

Bill caught some of her thoughts and smiled back at her and she smiled to. Okay so it might take a while to get used to the fact that her head wasn't private no matter how strong her mental walls, at the same time she was never alone, it was a trade off.

…..

Finally Casey got over her little emo trip and started teaching Tom the ropes on being a fucking huge beast.

He had a hard time, when it came to hunting, his vegetarian oath not forgotten.

Casey stopped and looked at him when he stopped following her, well, he was slightly in front of her. She'd been annoyed at that.

'What's up?' she walked back over to him.

'We're going to eat animals?' he blinked down at her.

She nodded, sitting and cocking her head to the right, 'What's wrong with that?'

'I'm a vegetarian.' He put his ears back.

Casey stared at him for a few seconds, 'Bill's one too isn't he?'

Tom nodded.

She snorted, 'Not anymore, I know what Alex turned Bill into, and trust me, he didn't stay a leaf muncher very long. So how about you try it out again, trust me, it's better than rabbit food.' She stood and turned away.

Tom shook his head, watching her go.

Eventually Casey got him to find, hunt, and kill a rabbit.

…..

Her little sisters were in the hall when they returned, they saw Tom and scrambled towards him, chirps coming from their mouth.

Casey narrowed her eyes as they climbed on top of his shoulders and held onto his arms.

"What is with you guys?" he muttered, looking at them and lifting an eyebrow.

"They always do that, it's a loyalty thing to approach your leader whenever they enter the room." Casey told him, walking around to his front and eyeing her sisters.

They stared back at her, not moving from their spots.

Kyle had told them that Tom was now stronger than big sister, and that he could protect them when sister was being mean.

They didn't directly stare right at her but they didn't move.

././../../././

"Bill," Georg said surprised because Noelle said that she was getting someone who could help him stay with her.

"Hello Georg," Bill said with a smile.

"Do you know what's going on here? " Georg asked hoping someone who he was familiar with would help make things clearer.

"He's part of it now," Alex said and Bill caught her about the waist with his arm.

"Part of what?"

"The immortality, Georg, and I am here to give it to you too!"

"Who are you?"

"Alexzandria Dire, or perhaps it is now Alexzandria Kaulitz, member of the Dire clan, beta," she said sorting her head out.

"I guess I mean what are you?" Georg asked giving Bill the 'you will explain this later' look.

"We are vampires, but don't go crazy we aren't like they make us seem in the world out there," Alex waved to indicate otherness.

"We?" Georg gulped.

"Bill and I," Alex said pleasantly as Georg stared.

./././././././././././././

"You're different…" Casey looked up and down Tom's tiger body, walking around him and touching him here and there.

They were in her room, she had him change to see him again in his form.

Tom watched her, tip of his tail flickering slightly, she noticed and then lifted an eyebrow. "You getting mad at something?" she asked, looking at his face.

Tom blinked, 'How did she know that?' he thought.

"I was born tiger, the tail twitching means you're getting irritated, oh, and we share a mental link." She explained.

He sighed, transforming, "You can hear my thoughts?" he asked, walking over to her.

Casey looked up and then nodded, "Yes, after a while I guess you will be able to hear mine, but you aren't used to it yet. Don't overexert yourself."

He hummed and placed an arm around her shoulders, his naked skin pressing against her shirt.

She resisted the urge to growl, not really one for physical contact in the first place.

"You're mad too…" he stated.

"How do you figure that?" she asked, looking at the floor.

"I can feel you, your skin is tingling, and you're resisting growling at me." He told her.

Casey nodded again, "Good, now, are you hungry?"

"No, I had enough to eat…" he looked down at her.

Just then another of her sisters ran in and pounced on Tom, clawing her way up his side to perch on his head.

Ignore the fact that he was naked, she just wanted to be there.

Casey looked blankly at the white haired child.

Tom furrowed his brow, "Seriously, this is going to get old." He said.

The girl purred, hands grabbing at his cornrows, she slid so she sat on his shoulders, a leg around either side of his neck.

Tom whimpered, grabbing at his hair, his eyes watering.

Casey chuckled and walked off.

"You're not going to make me like you are you?" Georg looked worried.

"Hell no, one new one is enough!"

"Then why are you here?"

"Because she needs me to do a blood exchange between you two so you can be like her, then you are her responsibility!" Alex said cheerily.

"There are a lot of people here," Bill said quietly into Alex's hair.

"I know you're just not used to it yet," she stroked his hand.

Georg turned to Noelle, "Will it hurt?" he asked worriedly.

"No, it'll be quick… well, it'll take a day or so to complete the change, but it will seem like nothing to you." She told him.

He nodded, turning back to Alex and Bill, who were wrapped around each other.

He cleared his throat, waited a few moments, and then Alex turned to him.

"I'm ready."

"You dye your hair?" Casey glanced at Tom, she had just gotten out of the shower and was brushing her hair. The thought had occurred to her just then.

"Yes."

"No wonder your black then…" she muttered, loud enough for him to hear.

"It has something to do with the tiger?" Tom looked at her from his phone.

"Yes, whatever you do to yourself in the human form, it will appear on the tiger form." She told him, piling her hair into a ponytail.

Tom nodded, Casey turned to him, "If you ever stop dying it then you will find out your true color…"

He nodded again.

"Go take a shower."

He looked at her, "Are you saying that I stink?" he asked.

"No, you just need to be clean, I don't like fleas."

./././././././././././

Alex sighed and took the two glasses Noelle had grabbed for her, she was going to make this slightly civilized... maybe. She gripped Georg's arm in a surprisingly strong grip.

Georg watched apprehensively as she lowered her head over his arm. Suddenly there was a strange feeling in his arm but before he could decide if it hurt or not a pleasant warmth was flooding into his body from the spot. Alex moved back quickly letting the blood from the wound drain into a cup.

Without Alex at the wound to keep it open it closed quickly. Bill was slightly in awe he could smell the blood, he wanted it and it was Alex's control keeping both of them under control.

He marveled at it. He was astounded how she could taste the blood and release it. Georg was staring at her probably because she had changed. Her pupils had changed looking like a wolves and fangs had come from her mouth which was now coated in blood.

He shuddered, what had he gotten himself into?

"Noelle," Alex said and the small girl came over proffering her wrist. She had seen vampires before even if it was disturbing to see one of her best friends like this she could do it for Georg.

She didn't flinch as Alex bit her even though vampire venom isn't quite as effective on other species, her wrist stung but slowly the warmth spread and she smiled until Alex handed them both a cup of the other's blood.

It was obvious what to do next but both Noelle and Georg stood there staring at the cup in front of them. "Drink!" Alex ordered and they did. Noelle turned to Georg catching his hands as he gripped hers violently, she didn't flinch but she caught him as he dropped.

She turned towards Alex and made a face, Bill kissed the blood off of Alex's lips and was murmuring praises for her self control she just smiled at him and turned to Noelle. "He should be like that for a while put him somewhere safe" she told the woman before turning on her heel and vanishing with Bill.

Fourteen years later and things had returned to somewhat normal for the band. They were still being a band though now that they didn't age they knew a time was coming where they had to end the band. One year or so after the band arrived in that small town in the Himalayas they could leave, with, in all except Gustav's case, their new families.

The reaction from their fans around the world was insane. Even the new album wasn't enough to keep the fans happy with their decision. It was perhaps the worst for Tom fans, Tom appears from seclusion with a new CD, a new wife, and six new sons!

All of them were black hair and blue eyed and half were vampires

Casey still shakes her head wondering how the hell that ever happened.

No one was horribly surprised, not to say they were happy about it, to see Bill with a wife and a small set of twins, one boy and one girl. Only one fan girl was crazy enough to try and come between Bill and his new family, she was never found again but of course no one even suspected Tokio Hotel.

Since then the family had grown... a lot. This is unsurprising since Alex is a wolf but since she kept tight tabs on all her children, none died so the numbers were even more dastardly than usual.

The pair has 17 kids, unsurprising when u think that every One point five to two years they have a set of twins or triplets.

Georg and Noelle had two kids only, one son and one daughter but the two are lively enough for everyone. So how does the band ever tour? Just about every year and a half the girls and children go back to the Himalayas.

Why every year and a half? Try keeping a pregnant vampire on the DL for 9 months! It was hard enough keeping the family under control so no one ever had reason to suspect anything of the like, the only way they managed it is that by eating rare or medium rare meats they could extend the amount of time between hunts.

Casey looked at her children, lifting her eyebrow.

They were all curled around Tom, nuzzled somewhere in almost every part of his body.

He was asleep too, exhausted from another night of partying and all that.

She looked around, grabbing the keys to her car.

"Good luck with that Tom!" she walked out and heard a groan behind her before a yelp echoed it.

Hm, seems one of the kids wanted a snack and the course was some part of their father.

She walked out of the house and took off down the road, the car keys were Tom's, so he couldn't get away.

Alex threw her head back and howled bringing her children down from every part of the house. Bill already had the youngest two at the table. The rest sat in their spots they as any human children would scarfed their food and ran off. Alex shook her head and yelled after them to clean up their mess. One by one they slunk back to pick things up.

Once things had been taken care of Alex and Bill moved to the living room with the youngest ones. Alex watched Bill play with the children with a small smile on her face.

"It's a damn gift from god that you like children," Alex said kissing the top of Bill's head.

"Where are you going?" Bill asked as she walked away.

"If I can do it so can you!" She said and the door shut behind her and he heard her car start.

"Great," he muttered.
