Part Four<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Allan Tracy should start charging for delivery. \u00a0Actually, he should build a system with fellow Paramedics, who happen to also be Chosen Ones who arrange and deliver fresh blood to Vampires.<\/span><\/p>\nHe should at least get a tip!<\/span><\/p>\nAllan parked the Ambulance on the corner, and grabbed the red igloo that had ‘haz mat’ labels all over it. \u00a0Placed inside at least three bags of cloned blood, and two from the local blood bank. He called into dispatch, stating he was checking in on an elderly patient, then signed off. <\/span><\/p>\nDon was waiting for him at the front stoop, looking annoyed and pissed. \u00a0“Was this a police situation?”<\/span><\/p>\n“The newly Turned is a friend.” \u00a0Flack opened the door, to let the Paramedic in. \u00a0“He was Turned by Sassone, I had no idea the guy was a Rogue, come to find out Blade was Hunting him.”<\/span><\/p>\n“He’s okay with being Turned?” \u00a0Allan asked as they made their way up the four flights of stairs.<\/span><\/p>\n“Danny isn’t going to let Sonny Sassone win.” \u00a0He opened the door to find his friend pacing and ranting, while Mac had his coat off, and was cleaning the kitchen. \u00a0Not at all what he was expecting.<\/span><\/p>\n“Fucking asshole. \u00a0Why not just kill me? Not that I’m happy I’m alive, so to speak. \u00a0But what was end game on this, if he think I’m going to be all weepy and terrified of this new life, than he can go fuck himself. \u00a0I wasn’t subservient to the asshole when I was Tanglewood, what the actual fuck makes him think I’m going to cower to him now\u2026”<\/span><\/p>\nBlade had vacuumed up the dust, and straightened up the overturned furniture. \u00a0The kitchen table was done, and would need to be hauled away at a later date. He was trying hard not to smile at his new Childe’s ranting. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n“There’s no trying to rationalize Rogues.” \u00a0Blade stated as he glanced over to the former Marine, so much like his Uncle. \u00a0He had offered to Turn Dan, but with his injuries from the war, physical and mental, he knew it wasn’t something he wanted for eternity. \u00a0He did make Blade promise to watch over his favorite nephew.<\/span><\/p>\n“Sonny is a fucktard.” \u00a0Danny stared at the Hunter, hands on his hips. \u00a0“His ideas usually ended up with loss of money, people in jail, and something on fire.<\/span><\/p>\n“And you thought he was cool?” \u00a0Mac gave the younger man a smirk.<\/span><\/p>\n“I was obviously a complete fucking moron when I was younger.” \u00a0He laughed lightly, before turning his focus on Don. “So you also knew all about this Vampire stuff?”<\/span><\/p>\n“My family have been Chosen Ones for generations.” \u00a0He tilted his head to Allan. “He’s got food.”<\/span><\/p>\n“You can order take out?” \u00a0Danny was slightly impressed. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nFor the last thirty minutes since he had rose as the living dead, he had a lot of things explained to him. \u00a0The Vampire aspect he got, he’s from New York, he’d seen weirder shit on the subway. The Clans and structures made complete sense, something this huge that needed to stay hidden from society, some type of structure needed to be in place. \u00a0The fact Sonny was a criminal with in that society also – not shocking. <\/span><\/p>\nWhat he couldn’t figure out was why the idiot Turned him in the first place. \u00a0It made no sense, Sonny should’ve known Danny wouldn’t toe the line, even as someone who was undead. \u00a0The only thing any of them could come up with, was the idea that Sonny would hope Danny would do something drastic as a baby Vampire, scaring him to back to his side for protection.<\/span><\/p>\nSassone hadn’t anticipated Mac Taylor, but then who does.<\/span><\/p>\nThe other thing he wasn’t quiet understanding, was the pull he was feeling towards Mac. \u00a0He could admit to himself on cold nights or alone in his shower, that he had a small \u2026 epic \u2026 crush on his boss. \u00a0He didn’t know what to do with him in the kitchen washing dishes, let alone the fact he knew about Vampires. <\/span><\/p>\nHis uncle sounded cool.<\/span><\/p>\nDanny was sure after this hunger feeling faded he was going to have a million questions, but right now he was still pissed at Sonny, desperately trying not to notice the amount of heartbeats around him, or how hot Mac looked in those pants.<\/span><\/p>\n“I’m not on call for normal Feeding, but newly Turned is kinda my speciality.” \u00a0Allan set the igloo down, and shoved it with his foot towards Danny. He wasn’t stupid enough to get near a hungry Vampire let alone a baby one.<\/span><\/p>\n“I feel like an animal at the zoo.” \u00a0Danny glanced at Blade. “Now what?”<\/span><\/p>\n“At the moment you’ll feed like an animal at the zoo. \u00a0Take the fresh blood, let the fangs drop, rip into the bag and drink it down. \u00a0Once the hunger is curbed, you can be more civilized and heat the rest in the microwave and drink down like a normal person. \u00a0Heating it up make it taste like it’s coming from a Chosen one, once your calm enough we’ll let you Feed off an actual Chosen One.”<\/span><\/p>\n“I can do it.” \u00a0Mac dried off his hands, folding the towel over the edge of the sink. \u00a0He had needed to do something, while Blade had told Danny about Vampires and they waited for food.<\/span><\/p>\nBlade glanced at Mac, then Don, shaking his head at the prospect. \u00a0“Flack has been a Chosen One longer, let him do it.”<\/span><\/p>\nDanny glanced between the two men, his instincts said take Mac, but he wasn’t sure what that meant, so kept quite and followed Blade’s lead. \u00a0“Let’s do this. The sooner I figure all this shit out, the sooner I can hunt the fucking asshole down and kill him.” He looked at Blade. “I can do that right, he technically did this without my permission so I get to seek my revenge right?”<\/span><\/p>\n“Yeah.” \u00a0Blade gave him a wicked smirk. \u00a0“But first you’ll need to be trained. \u00a0You’ve got a lot going for you, damn good natural instincts, but need to learn to fight with a sword if you’re going to take his head.”<\/span><\/p>\nMac’s expression turned downright evil. \u00a0“Do you humans hunt Rogues?”<\/span><\/p>\n“There are humans that have, most don’t survive. \u00a0They are hard to deal with, as usually they are hunting because a Rogue killed someone they love. \u00a0They don’t know about Clans or the fact not all Vampires are blood sucking demons. There is one, who discovered the true Vampire community, he was Turned and became a Hunter. \u00a0At the moment there’s a family, father and two sons who are damn good at what they do, but so far under the radar we’re having a hard time keeping track of them.”<\/span><\/p>\n“You planning on Hunting?” \u00a0Danny asked as he dug through the igloo, reading the packets of blood, wondering of O+ tasted different from AB. \u00a0“Doesn’t someone need this blood?” He held one of the fresh ones up. “Especially as AB is hard to come by?”<\/span><\/p>\n“It was contaminated so can’t be used for blood transfusions. \u00a0I got a contact at the blood banks, instead of it going to waste, it’s perfectly find for Vampire food.” \u00a0Allan explain simply and easily, as if this was an everyday conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n“So what do I do again?” \u00a0He looked down at the packet in his hands, then over to Blade.<\/span><\/p>\n“Let the fangs drop, and bite into the package instincts will take over.” \u00a0Blade could see the hesitation, before his Childe shrugged in that ‘fuck it’ way and bit down, the sucked it empty in a few seconds, before going for the second. \u00a0While his Childe ate, he glanced at Mac. “Are you planning on hunting?”<\/span><\/p>\n“I’m skilled with a katana, wouldn’t be hard to train me.”<\/span><\/p>\nDon shook his head, not liking this idea at all. \u00a0“Mac, that’s not a good idea. Vampires can move fast, and their fighting skills\u2026”<\/span><\/p>\n“Sonny as an idiot. \u00a0Besides not like I can’t shoot him first then take his head.” \u00a0Mac shrugged, not really caring how the Rogue died, as long as he did. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBlade smiled, oh he was going to make them into a fine Hunting pair. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n“This is cloned blood?” \u00a0Danny held up the last packet as he made his way to the nice clean kitchen, probably cleaner than it had ever been, even when he first moved in. \u00a0He grabbed a mug, dumped the contents into it, and put it in the microwave, figured a minute would work, and hit start. “This is maybe officially the weirdest thing I have done.”<\/span><\/p>\nDon chuckled at his antics. \u00a0“For someone who was Turned without Consent, let alone having no idea about Vampires you’re handling this well.”<\/span><\/p>\nDanny pulled the mug out, sniffed it before downing it in a few gulps. \u00a0“Okay that wasn’t too bad.” He set the cup in the sink, just to have Mac give him a look. \u00a0He quickly rinsed off the cup and put it on the draining board. “What am I going to do?” He looked over at Don. \u00a0“Cry in the corner about how my life is over.” He rolled his eyes, even as a teenager when he got beatings from his father, he never cried in the corner. \u00a0“The other outcome to this whole thing is being dead, well dead dead. Now I’ve got a new chance at life. I’ll outlive my fucking father and the Messer name. \u00a0I’m taking the opportunity for what it is, and running with it.”<\/span><\/p>\n“We’ll be with you the whole way.” \u00a0Mac promised him, laying a hand on his shoulder giving it a squeeze. <\/span><\/p>\n“Thanks, Mac.” \u00a0He smiled up at him, losing himself for a moment just staring at him. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBlade coughed, pulling Danny’s attention back to the present. \u00a0“Okay time to learn how to Feed, then I suggest a shower.” <\/span><\/p>\nDanny blinked a few times, focusing back on the moment. \u00a0“How do I do this?” He listened to everything Blade had told him, smirked at Don and waggled his eyebrows. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nDon rolled his eyes and put his arm out. \u00a0“I don’t do the neck thing on the first date.”<\/span><\/p>\nHe laughed openly, as he took his wrist and let instinct kick in. \u00a0Instantly he understood, why not to be overly hungry, the fresh blood was like a cold cup of water after a long run in the park. \u00a0It was refreshing and rejuvenating while being very addictive. He took one final swallow, licked the wound closed, and stepped back. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nDon gave him a soft smile. \u00a0“Not bad for a virgin.”<\/span><\/p>\n“Fuck you.”<\/span><\/p>\n“Maybe later.” \u00a0He winked getting Danny to laugh, but noticed instantly Mac’s narrowed eyes. \u00a0The cop shifted to give Blade a side-eye, who was totally ignoring him. “I’m glad you’re okay, Blade is a good Hunter, he’ll train you well.”<\/span><\/p>\nDanny gave him a nod, then hugged Don, holding him close. “Thanks for being a friend.”<\/span><\/p>\n“No problems.” \u00a0He held him tight for a few moments, then let him go. “I’ve got your back, especially on crime scenes as they are going to be slightly different now.”<\/span><\/p>\nMesser frowned, then nodded in understanding. \u00a0“Blade mentioned the enhanced senses, that could be useful. \u00a0Well except body dumps.” He cringed slightly, smelling himself. \u00a0“Okay yeah shower \u2026 ” He glanced at his guests. “I guess will see you all tomorrow?”<\/span><\/p>\n“If you think for a second your staying in this apartment your insane.” \u00a0Mac shook his head. “Despite the fact we can’t actually investigate it as a crime scene it still is one. \u00a0Your mattress has bullet holes in it, and your blood is still staining the floor. So shower, then pack a bag you’re staying with me, until we can get this place cleaned up and better security in case Sonny comes back.”<\/span><\/p>\n“I can take care of myself.” \u00a0Danny stood firm, glaring back at Mac, who just pointed to the bathroom. \u00a0He threw his hands up, not wanting to argue with his boss, besides he really needed a shower. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nOne of Don’s eyebrow rose, but he didn’t say anything. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n“Okay so pick up more blood, it’s likely going to be dinner for two.” \u00a0Allan muttered as he grabbed his igloo, he glanced at Don. “See you later.” \u00a0Then wandered out of the apartment back to his Ambulance, he actually had work to do, than take care of insane Vampires. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Part One Part Four<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[747],"tags":[746,50],"class_list":["post-14106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-afternoon-fic","tag-afternoon-fic","tag-bj-jones"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2Da1M-3Fw","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":14179,"url":"https:\/\/www.sylumclan.com\/sylumblog\/afternoon-fic-mac-danny-sylum-story-part-8\/","url_meta":{"origin":14106,"position":0},"title":"Afternoon Fic: Mac\/Danny Sylum Story – Part 8","author":"Nicolaus Meridius","date":"May 30, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"Part One\u00a0 Part Seven \"I can't believe I'm sitting outside in an ambulance, waiting for Mac and Danny to get it on.\" \u00a0Flack sighed as he lounged on the stretcher, he glared at Blade. \"I blame you for this.\" Allan was curled up in the front seat, reading the latest\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "Afternoon Fic"","block_context":{"text":"Afternoon Fic","link":"https:\/\/www.sylumclan.com\/sylumblog\/category\/afternoon-fic\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sylumclan.com\/sylumblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/74830baebf0be5427c7ba74173fdefd2.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":14244,"url":"https:\/\/www.sylumclan.com\/sylumblog\/afternoon-fic-mac-danny-still-breathing-part-12\/","url_meta":{"origin":14106,"position":1},"title":"Afternoon Fic: Mac\/Danny – Still Breathing (Part 12)","author":"Nicolaus Meridius","date":"June 11, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"\u00a0 Part One Part Eleven Danny opened the door to Mac's house, letting Blade, Don and Allan into the front parlor. \u00a0He gave them a panicked smile, then ushered them upstairs, where Mac was \u2026 Turning.
