Subject: N Sync & the Vamps 12

Hi and hello! Welcome to another episode of N Sync and the Vamps! I am your
host Rob. We would like to thank you all for reading, writing to us, and
voting for us in the past Boybands Awards. Happy belated birthday to a JC
Chasez, if you or any of the guys are reading, feel free to email either of
us, your secrecy will be kept safe and you will enjoy. Once again we'd like
to thank you all for being so supportive, and now, without further ado, I
bring you, #12!

The ride was somewhat short. There was the mid-day traffic that kinda
caused a problem. All the guys were laughing and having a good time, all
except for JC. His mind was still on what he saw. He would glance down at
the Cutlass lying, just in front of Lance.

"Is something wrong?" Lance asked with concerned on his face.

JC quickly snapped out of it,

"No nothing's wrong."

"You can't lie JC. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just don't want to talk about it ok?"

Lance got an angry look on his face and looked back at Justin who kept
freezing Joey in and out of his and Chris' conversation.

"Will you stop that!" Chris said trying not to laugh.

"Why, he doesn't know I'm doing it?" Justin replied slyly.

"Will you both knock it off!" JC said as he raised his voice.

All three of the guys looked at JC with fear in their faces.

"Got yah." JC said as he started Laughing.

"Oh when we get out of the car you're gonna get it!" Chris said as Joey
unfroze.

"Who's gonna get what? Hey......wha......Justin, YOU'RE gonna get it when
we get out of the car!"

Just then JC pulled the car next to Xaina's and got out. Lance got out and
walked next to him. JC waved to Lance and then JC saw something he didn't
see before on Lance. JC quickly walked over to him and pushed his face to
the side and looked at his eye.

"What happened?!?" He said with a mix of anger and worry.

"Oh it's nothing, just got a little carried away in training." Lance
replied as he savored the touch of JC's hand.

JC slowly pulled his hands away from Lance's face and smiled at him.

"Let me see your hand." Lance said, as he pulled JC's hands towards him.

Lance's eyes got a look of confusion in them. He looked at them more
closely. The cuts that should have been there from his nails were gone and
there was no sign of them ever being there.

JC looked at Lance and smiled.

"What are you doing?" JC said as he pulled his hands away.

"Gentlemen, shall we go?" Little John said as he opened the doors for the
three ladies.

All five of the guys piled into the diner and sat. Of course the 14
year-old girl that worked there recognized them the minute they got in. And
had trouble writing down their order, because her hands were shaking so
badly. Chris lightly put his hand on top of hers and said.

"Calm down, We're the only ones in here. And we just want to eat. K?"

She shook her head fast and wrote down the order best she could then ran
back into the Kitchen and screamed at the top of her lungs.

"CHRIS JUST TOUCHED MY HAND!!"

Then they heard some dish's drop and a man's voice say.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Soon after that, the girl pulled him to the side of the door and pointed
out. The young man's face turned pale as he looked at the five people
sitting across from `N Sync. Xaina looked over and quickly jumped up. The
others looked behind as the boy ran out of the diner. All five of them took
off after him. He jumped in a black Trans-am. (One of the older ones.) And
sped off.

"FUCK!" Shara said as tears filled her eyes.

The others were silent as they sat in the parking lot looking at each
other. The guys came out and looked at them.

"What's going on?" Justin said as he looked at Shara.

"They know....."

At the Light.


	The Black Trans-am came screaming into the parking lot. It was
about 2:30, and the doors were locked. He quickly took out a key and
unlocked the door. He ran down the long hall into the dance room and then
into the back. He began to bang on one of 20 doors. The door opened and
there stood Brady, in his boxers rubbing his eyes.

"What do you want?"

"I'm so sorry to bug you si......"

Brady threw him into the room and onto his bed. Then jumped on top of
him. He ran his fingers along the boy's neck and said.

"I hope you didn't come here to let me feed on you this early Nick."

"No sir. I wouldn't dream of it."

"Good, now what was it you were saying."

"I saw them at the Diner."

"Saw who?" Brady said as he began to unbutton the boy's shirt.

"Xaina, and her followers."

Brady stopped at sat up.

"Now you have my complete attention."

"They were eating with a group of young men. When they saw me. I ran out of
there. I didn't know what to do th..." He stopped as the fear took over and
he started to cry.

"Oh don't worry, I won't let them hurt you. Here, sleep, I need to go
inform Lael." Brady laid the young man down on his bed and walked into the
hallway.

He banged on the last door and it slowly came open with Lael standing
naked.

"What is it Brady?"

"I think our new found friend's know who we are."

"WHAT!" Lael said his sleepiness quickly slipped away.

"We will discuss it in the evening, For now get some sleep."

Brady walked back to his room and lay next to the already sleeping boy.

Brady slowly ran his hand over the boy's face and smiled. Nick was too
young to be made a Vampire, but when the time was right, Brady would bring
him in. Nick reminded Brady of his brother. So ambitious in what he wanted,
yet so kind, so gentle. He took Nick in as an orphan and raised him. He fed
on him a little, but only when necessary.  There were times when Slayers
overwhelmed them and they needed to hide, and he was so understanding of
it. Never complained, never tried to run away. Just stayed next to Brady
every hour he could. And Brady watched over him. In some ways, Brady hated
being a Vampire. But that's who he is, and that is who he will always
be. Nick, though, wasn't sure if he wanted to become one or not. It is up
to him, and he will need to choose. Brady pulled the cover over Nick's
body, slipped under them, and fell asleep.

Back at the parking lot of the Diner.

"How do they know?" Joey said as his face turned pale with fear.

"That boy, we think his name is Danny, belongs to Brady." Xaina said as she
walked back to the car.

"Brady?" JC questioned as a hint of jealousy entered his voice.

"Yes....They have....Feeding people. They keep them around to feed on when
we get to close to their lair." Red said as he opened the door.

"I recommend you guys play it cool from here on. Don't even give a hint
that you know.  We have to go. I don't know how long we will be gone, but
now that they know we have found you. We put you in danger." Little John
said as he started the car.

It then sped off, one followed by the other.

The five of them stood out in front of the diner shocked, scared and
angry. They all went back to Lance's 4runner and drove back to Justin's
house. The trip was silent and long for all of them. They got back to the
house at about 4 and they began to lock down the house. Locking
everything. Making sure that there was no way in. When this was done the
sun had set and the stars filled the sky.

"We probably should go make an appearance at the club." Chris said as he
looked at the darkened house.

"He's right." Justin said in a quiet voice.

Lance picked up his keys, and they walked out the door. JC got in his jeep
and pulled out. Justin and Chris were with him. Lance and Joey were in the
4runner. JC would look at Justin from time to time. And every time Justin
would smile, not showing any fear in his eyes or on his face. JC took great
comfort in this as he drove to the club.


In Lance's car.


"Do you think they will believe us?" Lance asked scared and shaky.

"I hope so, if not we might not be so lucky."

Lance closed his eyes for a split second and thought of everything that had
been going on.

"God why can't we just be the way we were a couple of days ago?"

"What about you and JC?" Joey asked looking at Lance.

"What about us?" Lance responded trying not to sound too scared.

"Well, are you going to tell your parents, or are you just going to hide it
forever."

Then a new fear filled Lance's head.

"Oh God, what are we going to tell our parents?! I don't know, I haven't
even started thinking about it."

"Well, are you going to?"

"Probably, just not yet."

"Here we are. You ready for this?"

"Of course." Lance said sarcastically.

They all piled into the club and there stood the guard.

"Hey there you are. We going to dance tonight?" He said as he smiled at
Justin.

Justin was at a loss for word's then finally said.

"Yep. Just come find me later."

The man smiled and went back to his table.

"Dude are you going to dance with him?" JC said as he smiled.

"Yeah probably. I mean, I dance with you guys all the time."

"That's totally different." Lance said as he punched Justin in the arm.

"I know but I had to think of something to say."

They got to the big blue doors and JC said,

"Here we go."

He pushed the door open and music came poring out of the room. People were
dancing as always, and most of them were drunk. Justin and Lance split up
and started up the stairs to the Jazz room. Chris went and started dancing
with some girls, trying to blend in. Joey and JC went on their way to find
Brady and Maggie.

"Well, I'm going to go find Maggie. See what's up with her. Where you
headed?" Joey said as he smiled.

"Don't know, just see if I can find Brady."

"Be careful!"

"You too!"

Joey and JC split up. JC carefully walked around the room, trying to find
Brady, or someone who knew where he was. Then out of the corner of his eye
he saw 6 people come out of a room in the back. They were Lael, Brady,
Yolanda, Maggie, Alex, and the boy from the diner. JC smiled when he saw
Brady, then he realized that Brady was the bad guy.

"Hey Brady!" JC yelled over the music,

Brady quickly turned around to look at who was calling him and so did
everyone else.  Brady smiled and then looked back at Lael. Lael nodded and
Brady walked over to JC.

"Hey, what's up?" Brady asked with a seductive voice.

JC had trouble concentrating now. He kept trying to remember what he was
doing there.

"JC? Are you ok?" Brady asked again.

"Yeah...Yeah I'm sorry. I just came by with the rest of the guys to see
what's up."

"Oh, well I have to go do some things. I should be back in a little bit. I
will see you then?"

"I'll be here."

Brady walked off with the boy as JC glanced back to the group that had now
shrunk to two people, Maggie and Lael. JC walked over to them slowly and
smiled.

"Maggie, Joey is looking for you. I think he is over at the bar."

A bright smile filled Maggie's face as she left Lael's side.

JC smiled at Lael and waved.

"Where's everyone else?" Lael asked as he quickly looked around for Lance.

"Oh they're around here somewhere. Want me to go round them up?"

"If you wouldn't mind. I have some stuff to show you."

"K, be right back." JC walked away from Lael into the massive crowd of
people.

"Meet me near the back of the dance floor." JC said telepathically, hoping
it would work.

He walked back to Lael who was leaning up against the wall.

"You find them?" He asked quickly.

"Yeah they should be coming soon."

And they were, the first one to arrive was Chris who had sweat poring down
his head from dancing then came Justin and Lance. When Lance came into
view, Lael smiled.

"What's up?" Justin said as he moved his head with the music.

"Nothing, I just want to show you guy's some stuff, actually more of
Lance. Please, come in." Lael said as he opened up the door.

All of the guys went into the large room with JC leading the way. As Lance
entered the room, his mouth dropped to the floor. On the back wall were
hundreds of old guns and knives. JC and the others looked around the room
but Lance's eyes were fixed on the back wall.

"I told you, you would like it." Lael whispered in Lance's ear.

"May, I go look?" Lance asked with the cheer of a child.

"Yes, please help yourself."

Lance quickly walked over to the wall and marveled at it.

"There must be worth over a $1000 dollars in this case." Lance said with
astonishment.

"Actually about 2000." Lael said with a large smile as he walked over to
the bar.

"Yes, Brady was telling me how much he thought you were worth." JC said
almost bitterly.

"Brady thinks I'm worth 300 million. Don't tell anyone I'm worth a lot more
then that."

Justin and Chris began to laugh. Lance still admiring the case said,

"Which is your favorite?"

"Actually, my favorite isn't up there. I keep it hidden just in case
someone wants to steal something."

"May I see?" Lance asked with more curiousitty.

Just then Brady came in the room.

"Oh I'm sorry, I was just looking for JC." Brady said.

"Oh ok, I will be right there." JC said as he looked at Lance and smiled.

"Well we're going to go back out on the dance floor. See you guys in about
an hour?"  Justin said.

JC, Justin and Chris left the room. Lance looked back at Lael.

"Can I get you something to drink?" Lael asked.

"Just some water, I have to drive tonight." Lance responded with a smile.

"Ok, I'm glad you look after them, it's kinda hard taking care of 4
friends."

"Not too hard, just need to keep them in line." Lance said as he walked
away from the case and sat at the huge table.

Lael got the water and then grabbed a small knife and cut his finger with
it. He held it over the water and a drop of blood fell into the glass. He
put the knife down, and the wound on his hand healed in a matter of
seconds. He stirred the water till his blood had dissipated and then walked
and sat it down in front of Lance.

"There you go. Oh wait, you wanted to see my baby. Hold on." Lael said with
a smile as his shoulder length hair spun around.

Lance hadn't noticed before, but Lael was deviously handsome. He had a
darker complexion, and black hair, and nearly black eyes. Yet Lance found
himself comparing him to JC. Lance smiled as he thought about JC, then took
a drink of the water. It tasted funny, but he just thought it was the water
in this part of town so he drank the rest in one gulp. Soon after Lael came
back with a purple velvet cloth raped around a long object.  He sat it down
on the table and said,

"Here she is, she is older then anything up there. And made by one of the
most dignified craftsmen the world has ever known."

He pulled out an ivory handle that had the symbol of wolf's head at the
bottom. The handle was connected to a 3ft long blade that shined in the
light like the moon.

	Lance's mouth once again dropped. There in Lael's hand was a
samurai sword that was almost as beautiful as his cutlass. Lael laid it
down on the velvet cloth and looked at Lance.

"It's almost 800 years old. I bought it from a boy in China, who sold it to
me for 10 dollars. I couldn't bring myself to do it so I gave the boy how
much money I thought it was worth then went and had it appraised. What I
gave the boy was greatly under the cost. See I gave the boy 2,000 dollars,
the sword is worth 10,000."

"10,000?!?!" Lance said with shock.

"Yes, and I have taken great care of it since then." He responded happily
as he saw the empty glass on the table.

"So who was the master craftsmen?"

"An old monk by the name of Krakin. It took a little research to find out
who he was, but I managed to do it."

Lance just stared at the sword with astonishment. Then something popped
into his head.

"How did you know I like old guns and knives?"

"Oh....Well the internet has tons of stuff on you guys. It wasn't hard."

Lance smiled as he felt himself get dizzy all of the sudden. He put his
hands up to his head and closed his eyes.

"Are you ok?" Lael asked acting worried.

"Yeah....I...I'm just really dizzy."

"Do you want me to go find JC, or one of the other's?"

Lance shook his head yes and Lael quickly ran out of the room and went and
found JC.  They ran back into the room about three minutes later and Lance
had his head down on the table.

"Lance?!?" JC said as he ran over to Lance's side.

"Yeah, I think I need to go home, I don't feel too good." Lance responded
to JC with a small smile.

"Ok....Ok, we'll go home." JC helped Lance up and walked him out of the
room.

Lael escorted them out to the car, and helped Lance in.

"Ok, Lael will you go find the others, and tell them to come out here
please. We need to get him home." JC said in a soft voice as he worried
about Lance.

"Sure." Lael responded as he walked back into the club.

JC closed his eyes and focused on the three guys.

"Meet me at the car."

	Joey stopped laughing with Maggie and looked around the room.

"What's the matter?" Maggie asked as her smile slowly faded.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go." Joey responded as he quickly got up.

Maggie looked at him and smiled a slight smile.

"I will be back to see you. I promise."

Joey began to walk away when Maggie grabbed his arm.

"Joey, we know Xaina found you guys. It's only a matter of time before the
others come after you."

Joey froze at what she was saying.

"I'll call you later." Joey said as he quickly kissed her.

It took all of his might to pull away but ran out of the room to the car.

	Justin sat looking around the room, admiring all the people. He
heard JC and quickly began to leave the room, when someone grabbed him and
spun him around. He looked into the brown eyes of Yolanda in front of him.

"Where are you going? We still have unfinished business."

"I know, I'm sorry, but you got me at a bad time now, I have to go."

"You know if you keep leaving me like this I might just have to come and
get you without your permission. I might have to bring some friends along
too."

Justin got a cocky smile and said,

"Feel free, but I have to go. See yah later." And he quickly left the room.

	Chris was walking next to the bathroom when he heard JC's
voice. Right when he was about to walk out fast music picked up and
everyone started jumping around. It would take him forever to get out of
there now. Then he smiled a slight smile and walked into the bathroom. He
could hear two men moaning as he entered. He smiled at himself and thought
about JC and Lance. He went into the only stall, which happened to be next
to the moaning sounds. As he looked thought the small hole he saw something
that scared him. There was Brady, with his mouth near the boy's thigh that
they had seen the in diner only hours before. They were both moaning, the
boy in complete pleasure and Brady in the same state. He quickly teleported
to the car with a white face.

	As they all got there, JC started the car and drove off without a
sound.

"Why was Lance so dizzy?" He thought to himself as they drove.

Everyone saw the state that Lance was in and Chris' fear now changed to his
friend.  They got back to the house and JC carried Lance up to the room and
laid him on the bed. Lance gave a small smile as JC rubbed the side of his
face. Lance still had color, but was just dizzy. JC smiled back, then went
to take off his cloths and then climbed into the bed next to Lance, and
fell asleep.
