Rock of Ages, Forever Pt59
Sav was in the studio the next evening alone, going over some drum tracks that Rick had laid down earlier in the week and was frustrated as ever about the process. Jabbing his fingers in his hair, then slamming his elbows on the consol, Sav lean forward, taking deep breaths to help control his frustration, but it didn't help the jittering in his veins. He heard the four distinct heartbeats making their way through the house and closer to the studio. When they entered, each and every one of their separate smells hit him hard, one much worse then the others. Sav didn't even turned around as Phil, Vivian, Rick and Joe came in and took up various position around the room. Groaning inwardly he finally turned around in his chair to glare at them. “Ah, the fire brigade is here.” he told, using sarcastically to cover up what he really wanted to do...feed.
“We're not here to fire you,” Phil said. “We’re here to help you.”
“Help me do what?”
“To help control your blood lust.” Phil told him.
“My what?” Sav chuckled.
“Your blood lust. It’s when you have this overwhelming craving for fresh human blood.” Phil glanced around at everyone. "You've had it for the past week."
“I know what it is Phil, I don’t need a lecture on vampire anatomy.” Sav replied heatedly.
“I may have found a way to control it in this book that I found in Nick’s library. It may also keep you from killing some one.”
“You seem to forget Phil, that is what I am. I kill when it is necessary for human blood. I’m a predator hunting his prey, it’s thrilling and I enjoy it.”
Phil forged ahead despite what he said, “You can’t go around threatening to take our blood Sav and this procedure will help. I’ve noticed in the past how you behave after a couple of months.”
“How comforting,” Sav sneered. “You seem to know a lot about what I need and how to get it.”
“I have a little better understanding after I read these books that Nick wrote. After watching you all these months. Nick explains a procedure called blood letting. You drain some blood into a container and give it to the intended.” Phil explained.
“And where do you intend to get this blood?”
Phil looked around the room again. “We’ve all agreed to do this for you.”
“You all agreed.” Sav laughed. “You’ve all agreed to your deaths. No, forget it I won’t do that. I’ll continue to do as I’ve done in the past.”
“You could at least try it.” Vivian tried reason with him.
Sav quickly got up from his chair and went to the other side of the room. “No!” he said angrily. “You just don't get it. It isn't just the blood that we crave, it's all of it.”
“You could try it just a couple of times Sav and if…” Rick started.
“No!” he yelled.
Everyone was startled by his outburst. Joe took a deep breath and rose from his chair to slowly approached him. When he was within reach, he brought his hand up and caressed Sav’s cheek. He raised the cup he held in his other hand. “Drink it.” he said softly.
The blood in the cup assaulted his senses, Sav knew it was Joe’s. His eyes changed to gold and his fangs dropped down unexpectedly.
“If you didn’t need this. I would still be looking into blue eyes.” Joe said softly.
“Don’t make me do this?” he said in a deep voice. His eyes never leaving Joe's.
Joe ran his hand down his arm and brought his hand up to hold the cup. “Drink it.” he said a little more firmly.
When he still refused, Joe dipped his finger in the blood and rubbed it just inside Sav’s lips, his tongue automatically shot out and licked it away. Joe brought the cup up to his lips and tilted so it would run into his mouth. Closing his eyes, Sav drained the cup, savoring the taste of his blood on his tongue. When he was done, Sav stared at him with the same look as earlier, the smoldering desire was still there. Without thinking, nor caring who else was in the room, Joe leaned forward and captured his lips and shot his tongue into Sav's mouth. Joe could taste his own blood and it only spurred him to deepen the kiss, he was delighted when he felt Sav return it. Pulling away, Joe looked at him a few moments and backed away.
Sav lowered his head and stared at the floor, without another word, he turned and left the room.
Every one was caught off guard at the open display of affection between Joe and Sav and a little shocked when they kissed each other.
“We don’t have to do it that way do we?” Rick fianlly spoke up, breaking the slight tension in the room.
Joe turned to them and his cheeks slightly flushed. “No. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.”
“I didn’t think he would do it.” Vivian commented.
“I didn't thinks so either.” Joe replied.
“Think it will work?” Rick asked.
“Don’t know,” Phil started. “We’ll have to wait and see.”
“At least we’ll know what to look for in the future and act upon it before it gets out of hand again.” Vivian told them.
“I guess I’ll go next.” Phil said. He had noticed that Joe was looking around a little confused. His head cocked at a slight angle and Phil frowned at his behavior. “What is it?” he asked.
“I don’t know,” Joe closed his eyes, brows knitted together as if in thought. “A weird feeling…it’s not there all the time.”
“What’s it feel like?” Vivian asked.
“A tingling sensation …like when your hand or something is asleep, but not as strong.” Joe placed his hand on his stomach and frowned.
”You look like your going to be sick.” Rick said.
“No, that’s not it.” Joe said. “It’s here that I feel it the…”
“It’s the bond I told you about months ago.” Nick said from the shadows.
Everyone jumped and spun around at to face him as he came out of the shadows.
Vivian quickly pulled himself together, then asked, “How long have you been here?”
“Long enough to know what you’re attempting to do.” Nick replied.
”Can you change into smoke Nick? Cause I didn’t see you come in.” Rick said.
“No Mr. Allen, I cannot.” Nick said still watching Joe. “The feelings you are having, are from Sav.”
“How can that be. I’m not a vampire and I have never tasted his blood.” Joe said.
Nick came further out of the shadows and took the book from Phil to flip through it and stopped at a page, then handed it back to him. “That night in the hotel in Paris, when I brought him back.” Nick started. “You shared a rather intimate moment together.”
“Which one?” Joe asked.
Nick dipped his head slightly, “In the shower, he thinks about it all the time.”
Heads looked to Joe for his response.
Joe darted his eyes to his friends that sat around the room. “Nothing happened. He could barely stand up, so I helped him clean up after you and your friends nearly killed him.”
“That’s not all you did Mr. Elliott.” Nick replied with a knowing smile. “You gave in to your own desire and kissed him, did you not.”
Joe thought for a moment and slowly nodded his head.
“His lip was still bleeding I believe.”
“Yes, but I don’t remember tasting it.” Joe replied.
“He has that effect. He can make you forget about what is going on around you. He tried to bring you across a few days later and you refused him.”
Joe shifted nervously on his feet. “What has that have to do with what I’m feeling now?”
“He has taken your blood on numerous occasions. When he tried to bring you across, his blood was still in your system.” Nick continued.
“I don’t understand what your saying Nick.” Joe looked even more confused.
“You share a bond with him. It’s hard to explain, but its there. I can feel him much better than you because ours is stronger. It’s only been recently that I can feel his pain, emotions...his anger. He shuts me out most of the time. For someone so young as far as being a vampire, these skills are not easy to master, but he has.”
“Can you feel him now?” Vivian asked.
Nick glanced over at him. “No.”
“This is not making any since, I didn’t cross over.” Joe replied.
“Do you remember anything from that night when he tried?”
Joe thought for a moment. “No...well some of it, but I'm not telling you or anyone else.”
“He brought you very close.” Nick informed.
Joe only looked at him. He didn’t like what Nick was telling him or where this conversation was apparently going.
“Actually, you shouldn’t even be here. But your strong will to live and the help of every one, is what kept you here. The bond you share with them as brothers is very strong, even I have noticed that in the time you have been here.”
“Well thanks Nick.” Joe's voice was rising by the minute. “But it still doesn’t explain why I have this feeling. It couldn’t have been that much blood.”
“It doesn’t take much. I know some one that can take a look at a blood sample.”
“Why do you need that?” Joe asked not really wanting to hear the answer.
“To find out if the vampire gene is there.” Nick said.
“The what!?” Joe yelled.
“This person I know, has pinpointed the gene that makes us what we are and if your blood carries it….”
“He’ll become one.” Phil spoke up.
Nick looked over at him, then back at Joe. “Yes.”
“I don’t want to be what you are.” Joe said angrily.
“You may not have a choice Mr. Elliott and you can’t stop it.”
“But you can?” Phil said.
“No. I’ve tried for nearly seven hundred years to find a way to become mortal again, without success.” Nick told them.
“So you regret becoming a vampire?” Phil asked.
“Yes, in a way I do.”
“Call your friend,” Joe said quickly. “Get them here and take the sample.”
“That wont be necessary. I can take it and send it to them and have the results in a matter of days.” Nick told him.
“Fine, whatever, just do it.”
“You may not like the results.” Nick said.
“Why?” Joe started. “You all ready know don’t you?”
“I’ve seen it many times in the past and the out come was the same.” Nick saw the anger flash across Joe's face, his jaw clenched. “Not everyone changed Mr. Elliott. Some couldn’t handle the changes their body was going through. This way is very painful and most wound up killing themselves. You must remember that and not let it get that far.”
“The way you are telling me this, makes me believe that I will change.”
“I need that sample first to make sure.” Nick told him, then left the room.
Vivian stifled a laugh.
“I don’t know what you find so funny Vivian.” Joe spun on him and hitting him with a hard glare.
“Sorry Joe, it’s just that it’s to hard to believe.”
“I wish I could have found this book earlier,” Phil spoke up again, getting everyone's attention. “It’s right here, everything Nick has been telling us. His last entry was about ten years ago. Something about the gene being stronger, no matter what the amount of blood taken from the vampire. It goes on the explain a test that he did on someone’s blood. About a drop of Nick’s was introduced to one cc of human blood, it took thirty-eight days to completely revert to that of a vampire.”
Joe sat heavily into the nearest chair and ran his hand over his face. Nick came in and pulled another chair over to him, then sat down. Pulling out a needle from his bag, he asked Joe for his arm. Tying the plastic tub around his upper arm to make the vein stick out, Nick wiped the area with a cotton swab and inserted the needle to drew out enough blood to fill two tubes. He placed them in a container and sealed it.
“I’ll send these out tonight.” Nick said and headed for the door. “What every you do Mr. Elliott, don’t let Sav have any more of your blood. The enzymes in his salvia will enter your blood stream and speed up the process.”
“So he will change. Is that what your saying Nick?” Phil asked what was on everyone's minds, thinking he might get a straight answer this time.
“We need to wait for the results.” That was all Nick would say and he left again.
Everyone sat around in shocked silence at having learned that Joe may become a vampire. Everyone's head turned when Sav entered the room, then looked around at them. “Why does every one look so gloomy?”
Joe stood up and went over to him. “Did you know about this?”
“Know about what?” Sav glanced around again, puzzlement etched his face.
“Your blood is in my body.” Joe replied angrily.
“No, it’s not.”
“That night in the shower, after Nick brought you back, your lip was still bleeding.”
“I don’t remember a lot about that night Joe, not even the sho…”
“It’s changing me into what you are.” Joe hissed.
“We’re not sure about that Joe, wait for the results.” Phil said.
“What, it can’t be. It takes more than that to bring some one across.” Sav told them.
“According to what Nick wrote in his book, it doesn’t.” Vivian replied.
Sav glanced over at Phil, then back at Joe. “I read his books shortly after we arrived. I found out about it, but it never crossed my mind to bring you across like that. That book said it was very painful and I didn't want that for you.”
Joe spun on his heels to face him again, then yelled. “You knew and planned the whole thing.”
“No, I didn’t. It just happened Joe, I couldn’t stop anything we did that night.”
Joe took an anger step toward him. “You knew exactly what you were doing. You brought me close enough as Nick would put it and your blood being there took over.”
“I didn't know, nothing was making sense that night. That is not how I wanted to do it. If you only wouldn’t have stopped me, it would have been much easier on….”
Joe shoved him to the wall and pinned him there. “I don’t want to be what you are Sav.”
Phil and Vivian jumped from the their seat to pull Joe away from him and he shrugged them off.
“You may not even change Joe.” Phil said.
“The way Nick was talking, I will!” he shot back.
“Don’t believe everything Nick tells you.” Sav told him.
“Why not?”
“He has betrayed me many times.”
“That is exactly what you did to me.” Joe poked him hard in the chest with his finger. Without another word he left. They heard the front door slam shut as he left the house. Rick got up to leave but stopped in front of Sav.
“What have you done?" he softly with a shake of his head.
Vivian also left with Rick. Phil sat back on the couch and took a deep breath, then glanced over at Sav.
After a few minutes Sav broke the silence in a soft voice. “I really screwed up this time.”
“Yeah Sav, you did.” Phil answered. “Did you know it would do that?”
Sav looked at him, but didn’t answer.
“Did Joe ever say that he wanted it?”
“Not in so many words. Maybe I misunderstood him.” Sav frowned, thinking back to the night at the hotel.
“Maybe you didn’t.” Phil said.
“What do you mean?”
“Maybe he did want it, maybe he was afraid of….”
“It was to late by the time he changed his mind Phil, I had already taken to much and it…”
“I missed something here. By taken some ones blood to the point of death. I thought that they would pass out. I mean, you’re practically killing them right.”
Sav nodded his head. “I’ve only done it once.”
“Joe didn’t do that did he?”
“No, he was …I told him to leave and when he didn’t, I left. I don’t know what happened after that.”
“Nick brought him to the hotel. He was awake and Nick gave him some of Rick’s blood to keep him from going that far. You were there you know what we did.”
“I should have left months ago. None of this would have happened. This may just be the thing that will destroy our relationship and the band.” Sav told him softly.
“You can’t jump that far ahead. We don’t know if it is true yet. We need to wait and see what the results says.” Phil told him.
Sav was deep in thought. He finally turned and left Phil there by himself.
***
Sav watched him from his vantage point on the roof of the house. Joe had been walking around the grounds of the house for nearly two hours. Finally giving in, Sav flew down and landed a few feet from him. “Joe, we need to talk about this.” He said softly so not to startle him.
Joe turned in his direction and glared at him. “There is nothing to talk about.”
“Yes there is.”
“Ok where do you want to start?” Joe said angrily. “Trust...trust is a good place. I trusted you and look where it has gotten me.”
“I was wrong in doing what I did. I thought you wanted to come across. I misunderstood what you meant that night, but I can’t go back and change it.”
”No, you can’t.” Joe shot back. “No more than I can.”
“What more do you want me to say?” Sav replied. “I’m sorry. I regret what I did to you it wont happen ag…”
“You had no right to do this to me!” Joe yelled and came closer to him.
Sav backed up a couple of steps.
“I don’t know what your definition of friendship is, but it’s certainly not like mine.” Joe told him. “It took you five minutes to destroy something it took us years to build.”
Sav shoved his hands in his pockets and stared at the ground.
“You know what? I don’t want to talk about it any more. What you did was the ultimate act….” Joe said angrily.
“I get the point Joe!” Sav yelled. “I shouldn’t have done it. I’m sorry ok.”
“No Sav, it’s not ok.” Joe words where cold and harsh. “I regret the day you fell through my door and every day since. Just get out of my life. I don’t want to see or hear anything about you… ever!”
“Just like that,” Sav replied softly. “Twenty years we’ve been together and you can throw it away just like that.”
Joe glared at him. “Yeah it’s easy, watch me.” he turned and walked away, heading toward the house. He didn’t stop or look back when Sav ask him not to leave.
Sav stood there a long time, even after Joe had went inside. His harsh, bitter words still ringing in his ear. Nick came up to him and put his arms around his waist to pull him close.
“You don’t need him Rick.” Nick whispered in his ear.
Sav twisted out of his grasp. “Yes, I do.”
“You can’t repair the damage. He wants you out of his life.”
“But I need him in mine. Joe keeps me grounded to who I really am.”
“You are free of them.” Nick said. “Let me take you away from here and enjoy life to the fullest, as we’re meant to do. Away from someone you can never have.”
“No.” Sav told him boldly. “Leave me alone for awhile. Think you can do that? If not, then do it for me. I’ve never asked you for anything, but just this once, do it for me.”
Nick watched the emotion play across his face. “If that is what you want, I will, but remember, I will not be far away.”
Sav turned and headed for the house. He didn’t go in the front door, but instead, flew up to the balcony of his room. Walking to the door, he heard Joe arguing with the others about him. Joe had told them that he was out of the band and that he had probably already left. Sav silently closed his door and braced a chair under the knob. He flew to the barn and retrieved a large piece of wood, nails and hammer. He nailed it over the French doors that led to the balcony. He undressed and rummage through his things and found the picture of the five of them, taken back in the early days of better times. He smiled at the memoirs the picture brought back. Going to the bed, he crawled under the blankets and drifted off to sleep thinking of those days.
