It seems as if Sam is the only one. Everyone she knew including Carly, Freddie, Spencer and her school mates share a secret that's been kept from her. No one will tell her why things have become so strange. Freddie refuses to walk in the sun, Carly's allergic to garlic and Spencer refuses to make statues out of wood. Sam eventually finds out that their not all human. How will she react? Will things ever be the same?

She always thought it was a nightmare and that she would wake up cold and sweaty on her bed like she always does after bad dreams. But this is real and she can feel it. She reluctantly typed again in the search engine 'vampires'. She knew she was crazy for even considering this but desperate times call for deperate measures. Okay....'search'. 'Vampire Legends', she scrolled through the page and found nothing. Again- failure. She's been doing this for weeks and always- nothing. 'Vampire Stories' 'Myths' The list was endless. But nonetheless exeptionally unuseful. For once in her life she was scared- not only that she was concerned about her safety but she was scared for them. Scared as hell. Whatever was happening to them was not normal. There's no denying it. I mean, Freddie can't even go out into the sunlight, Carly can't eat garlic? A few weeks ago she would've sworn to anything that she did not and would never believe in vampires. But now- she wasn't so sure. hey seem to be growing paler and paler sicker and sicker. What if there's nothing she could do? What if before she could find a solution, it happens to her as well? Carly and Spencer was her home. Where is she to take refuge now?

Her eyes were closing on her as she shut her laptop. "It's useless."

She suddenely thought of iCarly, and how it will inevtably suffer from this. Random debates with Freddie and Spencer- will she ever again live to experience the joy that the show brought into her life?

But she refused to break down. Not now. Not just yet.

She refused to let her friends go. Not now. Not ever.

She warily crept into bed and waited for the bellowing drunken state of her mother to soon echo through the house.

If it wasn't Carly or Spencer it was Freddie. Now she couldn't even trust him. It was hopeless. For some reason, she was more worried about losing him the most. Why was her mind so messed up? Why couldn't she ever have peace of mind?

As her head hit the pillow, she tried to relax her racing heart. She knew she had to do something. And soon. How she dreaded the dawn of the next day- when she knew she was more alone in this world than ever.

As the human slept, a creature of the night flew rapidly through the forest. It had it's eyes on her for a while. She ran for her life, her hooves kicking the wood chips. Maybe if she made it home to her babies, she'd be safe? He could smell her blood. If she got away, the bloodthirsty animal would be weak the next day. Eating animal flesh and drinking animal blood was the key to make him look human. It was actually his first hunt and if he succeeded, he could easily trick everyone to think he was human.

If it weren't for that stupid bitch who hit his car while texting, he'd still be human. His father offered him eternal life as he laid dying at the hospital. Now he was to forever be young and handsome. No more weaknesses at least. And if girls didn't like him before, now they would. He swooped down on his prey and grabbed her by the neck. The deer slowly died painfully as the monster sucked on her blood.

Sam woke up again with a gasp. She was panting and sweaty. What the hell was going on? Since she couldn't get back to sleep, she decided to pull out the library book she rented on vampires.

Good vampires aren't nessesarly vegan; they feed on forest and barn animals including foxes, dears, rabbits, pigs, cows, roosters, moose and wolves. They don't eat human flesh. All good vampires are surrounded by mortal civilization. Of coarse, they won't admit to humans that vampires exist, but I know there are some out there. The book contents read. The only time a vampire would bite a human is if they were selecting a bride or groom. No body has ever told about the experience, but I conclude it to be slow and painful.

When she opened her laptop, she noticed that Freddie was availible to chat. At four in the morning? She thought a scholar like him would be sleeping and dreaming of cameras.

HamPuckett: I need to ask you something.

It took a while before he responded.

Fredduccini: Well that's odd.

HamPuckett: Yeah yea Fredwardo. Shouldn't you be asleep?

Freduccini: Shouldn't you?

HamPuckett: I didn't get into an accident last week.

Freduccini: I feel fine. Why do you care?

She couldn't think of anything. Another user popped up on her screen.

Rubbencrazytalk: My little squash, your up late.

HamPuckett: Stop calling me that.

Rubbencrazytalk: I know you play hard to get Sam. Just soften up already. You know what's gonna happen if you block me. Don't make me take my handcuffs out.

HamPuckett: I'll tell you for the last time; we will never be together. Just give up already. Stop hitting on me, stop tweeting about me and mostly, stop undressing me with your eyes you sick fuck.

She hit the block button and smirked.

Fredduccini: Are you still there?

HamPuckett: Reuben IM'ed me.

Fredduccini: Did he upset you?

HamPuckett: I blocked him.

Fredduccini: About time.

She was too afraid to admit that Reuben threatened kidnap. Besides, who would help him? Sam opened the drawer next to her bed and took out a velvet green box. Inside was a celtic cross that once belonged to her grandmother. She was an Irish lass, which explained her behavior. Cecelia Puckett was just like Sam. That's where she inherited most of her genetic traits. When the cross was around her neck, she felt safe. Besides, she could fight off Reuben.

Nevel met Gibby ere the rise of sun. "In order to become a certified vampire hunter, you need to learn about various forms of vampires. First there is the dormant variant. They don't actually suck blood, and they aren't weak to sunlight, until they fall in love for the first time."

Gibby grinned.

"Then there are the awakened vampires. Those are easier to recognise, but much more dangerous, of course." Nevel grinned. "This is a stake of vampire banishment. You need it in order to destroy a vampire. I'm pretty sure that Carly is a dormant vampire, because, when I met her first, she didn't want to taste tapeneade which contains squished garlic."

Gibby shivered. "But I like Carly!"

"Nothing will happen to her as long as she's dormant," announced Nevel.

"Is Spencer a vampire too, if Carly is?"

Nevel scratched his had. "Even if they aren't fuull blood siblings, chances are that Carly got infected by Spencer's touches. So he probably is, and a dangerous one at that, too. You better wear a sacred cross for protection!"

Gibby was disgusted by the thought of wearing something over his blank chest.

Nevel removed his shirt and showed Gibby that he even had a sacred cross implanted in his chest.

Gibby promised to thiunk about it, and to talk to Reuben who was interested in becoming a vamp hunter, too.

Nevel didn't know that Carly had once been i love with Shane, and she had tried to get him to kiss her, so that she could bite him and make him a vampire, too. Hence Carly might not have been dormant any longer.

Sam clutched her books as she passed through the halls of Ridgeway. She was tense and never so nervous in her life; not about Reuben's threat, but of Freddie's suspected illness. She had no idea why it scared her. If they were both vampire's, then they'd both be looking for a vampire queen. She'd rather be Freddie's than Reubens. But she could handle Reuben. After all, she made him cry once.

"Hi Sam." she spun around and turned to see Reuben. "Isn't it yucky outside?"

"Yeah." Sam answered. "Are you on drugs? Cause I told you to leave me alone."

"You can't block me in person."

"I could get a restraining order." she said.

"Even that won't stop me."

Sam didn't tell Carly or Freddie about Reuben because if they found out she was suspicious, they'd have to make her forget. So Sam walked in the woods alone to her cottage, always turning her back to see if something happened. When she heard noises, she started running to her cottage. As she was about to win, a shadow stepped leapt in her way.

Her scream was so loud it would've woken the whole of the Northern Heimisphere.

"Rueben!!" She begged, "GET OFF OF ME!"

"What, Rueben?" the shadow said. That definitely wasn't Reuben's voice it was a soothing, familiar one.

The figure removed his dark cloak and revealed a familiar face.

"Freddie?"

His expression was a refelction of hers - confusion.

"Uh, Sam.....what are you doing here?"

"uh, no...the question is...what were you doing on top of me?"

Sam screwed up her face up in agner even more so than before...if that was even possible.

"What do you mean?"

"What you mean what do I mean, what do you mean?"

Freddie looked at Sam, amused for a second.

"Look, Rueben has been following me. And..."

"Rueben?" Freddie's voice was low and his face dangerously close to hers.

"Yes."

"You do realize now that he's a vampire he is stronger than you since he is a male vampire?"

"pffft. Aww c'mon!" She punched his shoulder. "You're not suggesting that..."

Freddie's face was solemn. All hints of amusement were gone.

There was a pause.

Freddie grabbled her arm and said automatically.

"Come with me."

"Hey, no one ever pulls me around. Just becuase you're a vampire doesn't mean that you can do that."

His eyes still in the distance he muttered casually under his breath, that only Freddie can do, "Too bad."

"Throw your arms around my neck." he ordered.

"Why should I?"

"To get you out of here." Freddie sneered. "I'm stronger than you now." Sam rolled her eyes as she wrapped her arm's around her neck. He put one arm around her waist and another under her knees.

"What the hell? Where are we going."

"Home." he said.

"That's where he's gonna look for me."

Freddie started flying. Her grip on his neck tightned.

"I'm gonna have a talk with him." said Freddie. "Let me take care of him."

"I've dealt with him before." Sam muttered. "You thinm he wants to kill me? He want's to seduce me!"

"Vampires can't seduce women." he said. "In movies yes, but in reality it's by force. Unless the girl actually wants to be a vampire."

"Is it true you can't have kids?"

"Absolutely not." Freddie spat. "I can live like any man!"

He put her down on her front porch. "Look, I'll talk to him."

"No!" Sam snapped. "I know this guy! I'll do it."

"You don't know what your going through."

"You can't tell me because I'm human that I'm automatically like Bella Swan!"

"I didn't say that!"

"Well excuse me Edward!" Sam snapped. "This disease you have is freaking me out. It's not just you, it's almost everyone I know!"

"Either this or I could have died."

"And I would eventually get over it! But this... I can't deal with this."

The door slammed in his face.
