That was when inspiration hit her, she wanted to do something she loved before she died, so she made it her goal to write a new song. though she hadn't sat down at the piano since she found out about her condition, she still remembered how to play relatively well. easing herself out of her bed, she made her way towards the den, where he piano had sat, collecting dust for the past six months. When she had finally reached the den, she looked at the piano, feeling her heart swell up as she pushed herself off the door frame and walked towards it. by the time she had made it to the piano, she leaned on it with both hands on the keys, creating a harsh cacophony before she eased herself onto the stool. adjusting herself, she placed her hands on the keys and started to play something that she had stuck in her mind for the past six months. that was the talent of gracey, if she could hear it in her head, she could immediately play it. as she started to sing, her voice was rough and breathy, showing that she hadn't had the chance to sing in a while, either. though, as she started to warm up, her voice followed and returned to it full power, though she couldn't hold the notes nearly as long as she wished to. eventually, she got stuck on the bridge, not really having an idea for it yet. just as she stopped playing to figure it out, she heard a knock at the door. furrowing her eyebrows, the curiosity grew within her. she could only figure that it was one of her friends, trying to coax her out of the house. getting to her feet, she made her way to the door, trying not to stumble or fall along the way. once she made it to the door, she opened it, both surprised and slightly upset to see the man standing before her. the way they had ended their conversation the other day had been less than graceful, to say the least, "Colby..." she started before she cleared her throat, "what...What are you doing here?" she asked before she leaned against the door frame, that being the only way she had enough strength to stand up.

SIX THREE SIX FOR COLBY/ LAUREN .

the song she is singing here.

[COLBY DAMIEN MAGNUS .]

COLBY HAD SPENT HOURS THINKING ABOUT THIS, AND IT HAD TAKEN DAYS TO GET THE COURAGE TO DO THIS. HE KNEW HE'D GET INTO TROUBLE FOR THIS NO DOUBT, AND NOT WITH THE NORMAL LAW. HE WALKED SLOWER THAN NORMAL TO GRACEY'S HOUSE, ALL THE WAY THERE HE CHEWED ON HIS LIP RING TRYING TO THINK OF MORE REASONS TO DO THIS SO IT SEEMED LIKE A BETTER IDEA THAN FIVE MINUTES BEFORE. IT WAS A NICE WALK FROM HIS PLACE; YES IT WAS RATHER LONG, TOOK ABOUT THRITY FIVE MINUTES, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT. COLBY USUALLY LISTENED TO MUSIC WHEN HE WENT WALKING OR JOGGING, BUT TODAY HE DIDN'T; HE JUST LISTENED TO HIS THOUGHTS, AND ACTUALLY LISTEN TO HE WORLD AROUND HIM TOO.

WHEN HE GOT TO GRACEY'S HOUSE HE LOOKED UP AT IT, STANDING ON THE SPOT FOR A FEW MOMENTS BEFORE WALKING UP TO THE DOOR AND GIVING IT A TAP WHICH PROGRESSED INTO A KNOCK WHEN HE REALISED HOW PATHETIC IT SOUNDED. IT TOOK A WHILE FOR GRACEY TO ANSWER THE DOOR, BUT WHEN SHE DID COLBY SAW HER EXPRESSION. DON'T SLAM THE DOOR BEFORE YOU HEAR WHAT I HAVE TO SAY HE SPOKE BEFORE HESITATING. JUST LET ME IN GRACEY. I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU, FIGURING YOU TOLD ME SOMETHING HE ADDED LOOKING SYMPATHETIC IN HIS CHOCOLATE BROWN EYES. IT'LL TAKE A FEW MINUTES, TOPS, JUST PLEASE HEAR ME OUT HE ASKED.

The truth was that gracey didn't want him to see inside of her house, seeing as it was a complete mess because she didn't have the energy to clean. however, all of her dishes were completely spotless because of the fact that she never ate; her fridge was just as spotless, "Besides, I think I'm done 'hearing you out'." she explained him, referring to the whole conversation that they had back in the shop about her going on sick leave until she got better, "And everything I need to hear has been said already, i don't need anyone's pity." she added before she took a step back to close the door on him.

COLBY'S EYES STAYED SOFT UNTIL SHE REFUSED HIM ENTRY. HE CURLED HIS LIP SIGHTLY, HIS HEAD TWITCHING A LITTLE WITH THE BUBBLING EAGER. HE WAS SO QUICK TO JUST SHOVE HIS HAND IN HER FACE AND TELL HER HE WAS DOING HER A FAVOUR AND TO BE GRATEFUL FO HIS HELP AS IT WAS PRACTICALLY A MIRACLE. HE DID NOT THOUGH. HE LET HIS PRIDE BURROW DOWN INSIDE AGAIN BEFORE SIGHING. PLEASE GRACEY YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME. IM NOT GIVING YOU PITY, IM GIVING YOU A SOLUTION. YOU WON'T NEED TO GO TO THE DOCTORS OR HOSPITAL ONCE YOU LISTEN TO ME HE SPOKE.

COLBY QUICKLY GLANCED TO THE SIDEWALK TO MAKE SURE NOBOY WAS THERE, OR AT LEAST OF IMPORTANCE. THOSE DAMN LAW ENFORCING CITIZENS COULD EASILY BE ON HIS CASE ABOUT THIS WITHIN MINUTES, THEN AGAIN, THEIR EFFORTS OF PREVENTING CROSS BREEDING WAS FAILING FAST. YOU MIGHT NOT BELIEVE ME GRACEY, BUT I KNOW HOW TO MAKE YOU BETTER HE SPOKE LOOKING DEEPLY INTO HER EYES. SPARE ME A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO EXPLAIN, AND THEN YOU CAN EITHER ACCEPT MY HELP OR TELL ME TO PISS OFF, BUT ONLY AFTER YOU HEAR ME OUT HE BEGGED, WACHING HER TIRED EYES. PLEASE, BABE HE ASKED IN A QUIET, SHAKY WHISPER.

When he let his voice fall to into a deep whisper, she felt her anger grow even more, hating that he called her 'babe', when he had no intimate feelings for her, "Stop it! Stop calling me 'babe'. I hate that!" she exclaimed before she realized that he wasn't going to be giving up any time soon and gracey honestly didn't have the energy to fight him anymore, "fine...but i don't have much time. come in." she explained, completely lying because of the fact that she had nothing to do today. turning around, she walked into the house, leaving the door open for him to walk in himself, "and close the door behind you." he called out before she walked into the living room and took a seat on the couch, finding sweet relief in being able to sit down.

[COLBY DAMIEN MAGNUS .]

COLBY LOOKED DOWN TO THE FLOOR WHEN SHE YELLED AT HIM FOR CALLING HER BABE. HE DIDNT LIKE UPSETTING HER, SO HE APOLOGISED. WHEN SHE INVITED HIM IN, RELUCTANTLY, HE TOOK A MOMENT TO LOOK BEHIND HIM BEFORE WALKING IN SLOWLY, EXPECTING THAT SORT OF INVITATION NOT TO HAVE WORKED, BUT HE PASSED THROUGH WITH NO HITCHES. THE FIRST THING THAT HIT WAS THE SMELL. THE SMELL OF DUST AND DIRT. HE SIGHED AND CONTINUED TO FOLLOW GRACEY TO WHERE SHE SAT. HE REMAINED STANDING, WAITING FOR HER TO OFFER HIM A SEAT. YOU MAY THINK THERE'S NO SOLUTION, BUT WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THERE WAS. ONE THAT NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT - NOBODY, LIKE YOU HE SPOKE, ENHANCING ON THE FINISH. WHEN HE KNEW SHE HAD HR ATTENTION IN THE FORM OF CONFUSION HE TOOK A DEEP BREATH.

I CAN HELP YOU GRACEY BECAUSE ... BECAUSE IM NOT, WHAT YOU THINK I AM HE SPOKE. COLBY LICKED HIS LIP AND RUBBED HIS NECK. I'LL BE IN SO MUCH SHIT FOR TELLING YOU THIS. GRACEY ... IM NOT ... IM NOT HUMAN HE SAID GETTING IT OUT AT LAST, AND THEN LISTENING TO THE SILENCE OF THE ROOM. COLBY LOOKED AT GRACEY WAITING FOR HER REACTION BUT HE COULDN'T. HE HAD TO SAY EVERYTHING BEFORE SHE COULD. YOU HUMANS THINK VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES, DONT EXIST. YOU THINK ANGELS AND DEMONS ARE MAKE BELIEVE, OR AT LEAST SOME OF YOU DO HE SPOKE BEGINNING TO PACE RIGHT TO LEFT. BUT THEY'RE ALL REAL, WE ARE ALL REAL JUST LIKE HUMANS HE SPOKE. WE'VE BEEN AROUND FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, JUST WE'VE BEEN HIDING AND WE'RE PRETTY DAN GOOD AT IT HE SPOKE. THAT'S WHY I CAN HELP YOU. I HAVE ABILITIES THAT DOCTORS OR SURGEONS DON'T. I CAN MAKE YOU BETTER. ALL YOUR SUFFERING YOUR PAIN ... I CAN END IT HE SPOKE BEFORE IT GOT TOO MUCH OF HER AND SOMEHOW, SHE MANAGED TO GATHER ENOUGH ENERGY TO SHOUT AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS FOR HIM TO STOP.

COLBY LOOKED UP AT THE CEILING RUNNING HIS FINGERS THROUGH HIS HAIR. HE SIGHED HEAVILY MIXING IN A GRUNT. LOOKING AT THE WINDOW HE LOOKED AT HIS REFLECTION, ADMIRING HIS GOOD LOOKS. HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED HOW GOOD LOOKING I AM? AND THE CLOSE FRIENDS OF MINE? HOW WE'RE ALL PERFECTLY BUILT WITH VERY LITTLE FLAWS, IF ANY? HE ASKED WITH A SMIRK. HE SHOOK HIS HEAD AND MADE HIS WAY OVER TO THE ARMCHAIR, TO TAKE A SEAT. I'M TELLING YOU WE EXIST. IM NOT 'HIGH' BECAUSE DRUGS WOULDNT EFFECT ME IF I TOOK THEM. NOW IM OFFERING TO HELP YOU BY TURNING YOU INTO ONE LIKE ME. IF IT WASN'T TRUE, WHY WOULD I SUGGEST IT? HE ASKED.

COLBY RUBBED HIS FOREHEAD AND CLOSED HIS EYES, PUTTING HIS HANDS TOGETHER. I'M TELLING YOU THIS BECAUSE I'VE LOST TOO MANY FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES TO DEATH AND I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE, GRACEY. I WANT TO HELP YOU BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU HE ADMITTED, OPENING HIS EYES AND LOOKING OVER TO HER. I CAN MAKE YOU STRONGER, FASTER AND IMMUNE TO ALCOHOL, DRUGS, INJURY ... THE LIST IS ENDLESS HE EXPLAINED, GOING QUIET, FEELING SLIGHTLY EMBARRESSED. .

COLBY LOOKED AWAY WHEN SHE TOLD HIM SHE WANTED EVIDENCE OF HIS RACE AND STORY. HE LOOKED BACK AT HER WITH A DEEP LOOK, FOLLOWED BY A SHRUG WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? PUT A HOLE IN YOUR WALL? SLASH MY THROAT WITH A KITCHEN KNIFE? HE ASKED POINTING TO HER KITCHEN. HE CHEWED THE INSIDE OF HIS CHEEK BEFORE STANDING UP INFRONT OF HER. HE PUT HIS ARM OUT, WRIST UP. TAKE MY PULSE. TELL ME HOW MANY TIMES MY HEART BEATS PER MINUTE HE SPOKE.

WAITING FOR HER MADE HIM LOSE HIS PATIENCE. OR HOW ABOUT UM, GETTING ONE OF YOUR KITCHEN KNIVES AND SLITTING MY THROAT? HE SUGGESTED, MARCHING TO THE KITCHEN FINDING A KNIFE. WHAT IS IT YOU WANT TO SEE? HE ASKED. AND BEFORE YOU SAY A WORD GET EVERYTHING TWILIGHTY OUT OF YOUR FUCKING HEAD.

A BAT? HE REPEATED SCREWING UP HIS FACE. THAT'S SO STEROTYPICAL...BUT OKAY. DON'T START SCREAMING BECAUSE ONCE I START, I CANT STOP MID WAY HE SPOKE PUTTING THE KNIFE DOWN. HE GLANCED AT HER AS HE WALKED TO AN OPEN SPACE IN HER LIVING AREA. HE CRACKED HIS NECK, AND LOOKED AT THE FLOOR. IT'D BEEN A WHILE SINCE HE'D TRANSFORMED INTO SOMETHING AS SMALL AS A BAT, HE USUALLY FAVOURED DOGS. WITH A DEEP BREATH IN AND OUT, COLBY CONCENTRATED ON THE IMAGE OF A BAT. HE BLOCKED OUT THE SOUND OF NEXT DOOR AND THE SOUNDS HE COULD HEAR BEYOND THAT. FIRST HE IMAGINED THE SNOUT OF THE LARGEST BAT, THE FOX BAT. HE COULD FEEL HIS JAW BEGIN TO ACHE BEFORE THE SOUND OF CRUNCHING STARTED.

WHILST THAT PROGRESSED HE IMAGINED THE CLAWS AND WINGS, HIS FINGERS LENGTHENING AND NAILS GROWING. HIS FEET STARTED GETTING SMALLER BUT HIS TOES ALSO CRACKED AND MORPHED WITHIN HIS SHOES. HIS EARS POINTED AT THE TOP AND SWEPT BACK, WITH HIS HAIR TURNING A CHESTNUT COLOUR AND GROWIN AROUND HIS NECK. WITH MORE CONCENTRATION HE BEGAN TO SHRINK IN SIZE, AND THIN OUT. HIS CLOTHES BEGAN TO GET LOOSE AROND HIS SHOULDERS AND HIPS. EVENTUALLY THE TRANSFORMATION QUICKENED AS THE DIFFICULT THINGS EASED OUT. EVENTUALLY HE BECAME SO SMALL HIS CLOTHES SWALLOWED HIM UP. AT FIRST THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT, LIKE HE'D VANISHED

AFTER A MOMENT THERE WAS MOVEMENT UNDERNEATH THE WHITE T-SHIRT. OUT FROM BENEATH IT A LITTLE BLACK SNOUT PEAKED OUT AND A SHAKING FOX BAT CRAWLED OUT. IT STAYED THERE LIKE SOME CONFUSED, DISORIENTATED WILD CREATURE. OBVIOUSLY, AS RIGHT NOW COLBY'S HEAD WAS BANGING WITH THE WORST HEADACHE IN THE WORLD. THEN HE LOOKED UP AND SCRAMBLED A COUPLE OF FEET BEFORE FLAPPING THOSE LARGE WINGS TO DART AROUND THE ROOM UNTIL HE FOUND A PLACE TO HANG COMFORTABLY. IN THE CORNER OF THE ROOM FROM HE CURTAIN RAIL. THERE HE STAYED, LEAVING GRACEY SHOCKED AND IN DISBELIEF AS WELL AS QUESTION HER ENTIRE MIND, BELIEFS AND EXISTENCE.

WHAT THE FUCK!?" she screamed before she backed herself into the wall, "This..." she shook her head and closed her eyes, putting her hands on her ears, "this isn't real!" she exclaimed before she lifted her head and looked up at the bat hanging upside down, "Okay, Colbs..." she started, her voice shaking as she looked around, "You can come out now...that was pretty cool trick." she added before she looked back at the bat. after a few unbearable moments of him not coming out, she started to feel like she was going bat-shit crazy - pun intended. how was she supposed to rationalize this? she just saw one of her best friends turn into a bat in front of her eyes. running a hand through her hair, she looked at the bat and gulped, "Uh...okay. say i believe you! say that you are a vampire...why...why didn't you kill me? use me for food?" she then shook her head, realizing that she was talking to a bat, "I'm going insane." she murmured before she nodded, "Yeah, that's it. I'm insane. Or...or-or-or-or dreaming. yeah! i'm dreaming. this is all just a dream!" gracey then pinched herself, feeling the sharp pain, "Okay Gracey lou, you can wake up now!" she exclaimed, looking up at the ceiling, pinching herself again, "Wake uuup!" she added, a nervous laugh following it. after a moment of not waking up, she started to slap her own face, "WAKE UP! WAKE UP YOU STUPID BITCH!" she screamed, trying to get herself to wake up from this nightmare. [/style]

[COLBY DAMIEN MAGNUS .]

AS A BAT, THE WORLD WAS VERY DIFFERENT. COLOURS WERE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, INFACT THEY WERE NON-EXISTENT. EVERYTHING WAS MORE OR LESS THE SAME COLOUR OR TONE, HENCE THE POOR VISION, SO SOUNDS WERE EXTREMEY SENSITIVE. COLBY COULD HEAR A LOT MORE THINGS IN DIFFERENT WAYS. IT WAS STRANGE FOR HIM TO BE HONEST, CONSIDERING HE HADN'T BECOME A BAT FOR SUCH A LONG TIME. HE WAS USED TO A DOG'S VISION AND HEARING, NOT A BAT. EVEN THE SOUNDS OF GRACEY SLAPPING HER CHEEK MADE THE LOUDEST OF NOISE THAT CONSUMED COLBY'S ENTIRE FORM.

EVENTUALLY HE THOUGHT THIS WAS LONG ENOUGH, AND THIS HEADACHE FROM TRANSFORMING WAS BEGINNING TO IRRITATE HIM TERRIBLY. SO HE DROPPED FROM THE RAIL AFTER STRETCHING HIS WINGS, USING THE CURTAIN TO CRAWL DOWN AND THEN WALK, OR CRAWL, ACROSS THE FLOOR TO HIS CLOTHES. HE STAYED THERE BUT DIDN'T CHANGE. SURELY SHE'D CLICK THAT HS CLOTHES WERE ON THE FLOOR...THEN AGAIN COMMON SENSE PROBABLY WASN'T CONSUMING HER MIND RIGHT NOW. FUCK IT, HE WASN'T ASHAMED O HIS BODY. SO HE TRANSFORMED BACK WHICH WAS A LOT EASIER, BUT IT WAS JUST AS PAINFUL. ONCE HE WAS BACK TO NORMAL CROUCHED ON THE FLOOR COMPLETELY NAKED, HE TOOK A MOMENT TO GET HIS HEAD TO CALM DOWN FROM THE SPINNING.

WHEN IT'D CALMED DOWN HE LOOKED UP AND AROUND THE ROOM, HIS EYES AJUSTING TO THE LIGHT AND COLOUR. HE BLINKED A FEW TIMES BEFORE FOCUSING ON GRACEY. IN COMPLETE SILENCE HE GOT HIS CLOTHES AND STOOD, MAKING SURE HIS VALUABLES WERE COVERED FROM HER DELICATE EYES. SHE WAS DYING FROM CANCER, SO A HEARTATTCK WASN'T A GREAT IDEA TO FINISH HER OFF, ALTHOUGH SHE HAD JUST PUT UP WITH HIM CHANGING INTO A BAT! HE STOOF THERE, LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A SCIENCE PROJECT, EXCEPT COVERED IN COOURFUL AND DELICATE ARTWORK OVER MUCH OF HIS SKIN. CLEARING HIS THROAT HE SORT OF USED THE COUCH TO HIDE BEHIND WHILST HE PUT HIS CLOTHES BACK ON. DOING HIS BELT BACK UP HE WALKED INTO FULL VIEW BEFORE STANDING THERE WITH HIS HANDS IN HIS POCKETS. HIS SHOULDERS SHRUGGED AND HE SORT OF GAVE A LITTE SMILE. NOT MY FAVOURITE ANIMAL TO IMMITATE BUT, ITS PROVED MY POINT HOPEFULLY. UNLESS, YOU WANT ME TO DO SOMETHING ELSE? HE ASKED
