Rating: R/NC17
Summary: They were your every day normal human beings... until their parents told them about the family business.
Feedback: Love to know what you thought of it so far.
They had just killed their latest creature of the night and were celebrating with a glass of champagne in front of the fireplace in their own home… and of course with sex.
Who would have thought that a Slayer and a Vampire would ever get to be together like this? The man lay down on the floor; his head was arched back as he let his girlfriend take her fill of his blood while she rode him. “Laura…” he groaned…
~
Jan shot awake in his bed at the sound of his alarm clock going off. It was a brand new day, although it being Friday, which meant that the weekend would be around the corner. He got out of bed and stood underneath a hot shower while he washed himself, followed by brushing his teeth. He never missed a day of shaving with his electric razor.
Who was that girl he was with within the dream? And she fed from him, but that wasn’t the weirdest part. He LET her feed from him. He didn’t even scream out in pain! Another strange thing was that the girl was shrouded from view; her face wasn’t revealed, not even during their passionate lovemaking.
Shaking off his thoughts, he had his breakfast what only consisted of his favorite cereal. Afterwards he grabbed his schoolbag with the books he needed to do homework for; the other books he would need today were in his locker.
He closed the door behind himself and, almost on cue, the door of his right next door neighbor closed and this girl walked out. Jan briefly caught her in his peripheral vision, but ignored her.
She was good looking. Could she be the girl from my dream? Jan thought. He shook his head. Nah, that’s impossible. How can I be dreaming of my next door neighbor?
Not a word was spoken between the two as they waited for the school bus to roll into their street to pick them up for school. Right after Jan and his next door neighbor had found a seat on the school bus; he popped in his iPod earphones. Had he not done that, he would have heard his next door neighbor’s friends call her Laura…
One of his favorite songs of this moment was Placebo’s Special Needs…
~
Laura fingered with her ring around her finger. She thought it a family heirloom, but would she know the (awful) truth behind the trinket, she’d have kissed it every night right before going to bed. It was the reason she never got reduced to a pile of ash in broad daylight. There she stood with her next door neighbor… waiting for the damn bus to come around so she could go to school. How she longed for a car, then she wouldn’t need to wait around any longer. She glanced over at the boy. There was something cute about him, but she couldn’t place her finger on it… or sink her fang into it.
The bus finally decided to enter their street and now she was gossiping with her friends about tonight’s high school party.
~
The bus reached Montgomery High. The students all formed a perfect line and one by one they got out of the school bus to enter the high school in the same manner. Jan didn’t need to swing by his locker room, not until third period would end. Another day to learn more stuff that Jan was certain he would never put to use into his adult life.

“Do you have a ride to the party, Son?” Simon, Jan’s dad, asked him after dinner that night. Jan had dressed up in outgoing clothes after he had come home that afternoon. The same was asked by Rick, Laura’s dad.
Jan shook his head no, whereas Laura’s answer was an affirmative one; one of her friends owned a car and had already told Laura she would drop by around eight. “Fine, I’ll drive you. Did you already sign up for those driving lessons at the high school? You’re going to be 18 soon, my Son. Trust me, when you get your driver’s license, a whole new world will open up for you.” Laura got the same ‘talk’ from her own father even though she had just told him that she had a ride to the party. She too had gotten all dressed up for the party.
“Promise your mother and I that you will be careful, okay, honey?” Laura was asked.
“I will, dad. I promise.” Laura said, smiling softly, then she turned and answered the door after hearing the doorbell. It was her friend Erica. “You’re here! Thank you so much for picking me up, Erica!” Laura said and hugged her friend.
At that same moment when they entered the car did Jan and his father get out of their own house to go over to Simon’s car. The two girls put on their seatbelt as Erica started her car. “Hey, maybe we should take off that father’s weight of his shoulders by having Jan carpool with us?” Erica asked Laura while they put on their seatbelt. “Absolutely not.” Laura replied. “Besides, you already started the car. It’d be waste of gas to kill the engine and ask him to join us.” She added to her friend. “Okay, I was just being friendly.” Erica said. Laura laughed. “No you weren’t. You were thinking about the environment.”
Jan watched them drive off. He couldn’t help but feel jealousy for them. Which parent still drives their children to their children’s high school party? He couldn’t wait to have his own car. It was humiliating, is what it is.
“Yeah, Dad. I got it. I will call you when I want to be picked up. Just go, please?” Jan said to his dad. He dreaded being seen with his dad. Luckily the party had already started so there weren’t many people of his high school in front of the club… except for those who were addicted to smoking or blowing or even doing drugs. Yes, Jan had some fellow schoolmates who did those kinds of things. Jan stayed clear from them.
“Have a good time, Son.” Simon said as he got in the car and drove home again.
Jan entered the club and surrendered himself to the drinks and the dancing.
Corey was standing there with his group of buddies, watching the girls on the dance floor and the other guys trying to show off their dance moves. His lips were practically drooling at the sight of Laura. Damn, she was looking GOOD tonight. Funny how he had never really noticed such a hot girl before. Maybe it was one of those girls that didn’t look that hot during high school and would unveil themselves as foxy ladies on the party scene.
Laura was having a damn good time on the dance floor, unaware that she was being watched by Corey. Jan fished into his pocket for his last pocket money to pay for his round of drinks for himself and his friends. He got a tray from the bartender and was about to move back to his friends, when he saw Corey standing there with his friends. He wondered who Corey was looking at… so he followed Corey’s line of vision and discovered he was looking at Laura. The lick of Corey’s lips wasn’t lost on him either.
Jan carefully brought the tray of drinks over to his friends, still keeping a close eye on Corey as he did so. His friends thanked him for getting drinks this round. “Want to bet Corey’s drunk again?” Tom, one of Jan’s friends asked.
“I’ll bet you 20 bucks he isn’t!” Justin said. “What do you think, Jan?” he asked as he softly bumped his elbow against Jan. “Deal!” Tom shouted and held out his hand for Justin to accept the bet. “You’re on, brother!” Justin said and sealed the deal. “I don’t think so, Justin. I think Corey’s up to something. And tonight’s target is my next door neighbor.” Tom shook his head. “Did you watch too many TV shows again, Jan? I’ll bet you 50 bucks that you are SO wrong.” Jan grinned. “Oh, you’ll see, I’m right, Welling. Just you wait.” Jan said and sealed the deal by shaking his hand.
“I’m going outside to smoke a cig, Laura. You want to come with?” Erica asked as she looked at her friend, who was maybe having too much of a great time. Not that she had drank too much, but the dancing was, well, provocative, to say the least. “No thanks, ‘Rica.” Laura said with a grin and then she let out a squeal. “This is my favorite song!”
She started swaying her hips on cue. “Fine.” Erica said and left Laura there as she went outside to smoke a cig. And that was the moment Corey pounced on her. His hands wrapped around her form and he grinded his body against her.
“I couldn’t help but notice that thissssss issssss your favorite sssssong, Laura.” Corey slurred in her ear in a whisper as his hands slid around her front to squeeze her breasts.
Okay, Laura wanted a good time to dance, but this was becoming a tad too much. “Get your hands off me, Corey!” she yelled out, but it was absorbed by the music coming from the speakers as she struggled. One of his hands slid down to feel under her skirt. “Do your parentssssss know about you not wearing any pantiesssss, you’re ssssssuch a naughty girl, Laura!” Corey said.
“DUDE! 50 bucks!” Justin exclaimed in disbelief. “Pay him up, Tom!” Justin said and clapped his friend on the back. “Just a moment, you guys.” Jan said as he set down his drink on the counter and started to go into the direction of Laura and Corey.
Laura felt an undeniable urge to snap Corey’s neck when she would get loose. A rage she had never felt before was coursing through her. Her eyes turned blood red. She slammed her foot down on his shoe and Corey let her go. “YOU BITCH!!” Corey yelled at her and before she could register it, he had struck her cheek with his hand.
She snarled out and was ready to hit him back, or do worse, when Jan butted in. The shock of seeing this always quiet guy in school act so out of place made her return to her normal self.
“STAY AWAY FROM HER!” Jan yelled at Corey.
“Sssssssaysssss her boy next door… you can tell usss all, Jannie boy, you dream about Laura here don’t you? How you take her virgin pussssssy and assssss? Wake up and ssssssmell the coffee, Jan! You’re a guy, and ssssshe’ssss a girl assss hot assss hell itsssself! It’ssss only natural to jerk off to her.” Corey said in his slurring way as he grinned at Jan.
"Wait a minute, her name is Laura?" Jan asked Corey, flashing back to the dream that he had had about Laura this morning. Could she be one and the same? he wondered.
“SHUT UP!” Jan yelled and was about to strike out again, but Corey slammed a fist into his stomach. He doubled over in pain, and stayed there on the floor. “JAN!” Laura screamed out, which caused the music to stop playing. But the boy was only faking it, and when Corey tried to attack him again, Jan unleashed an uppercut to Corey’s chin. He felt like he had acquired a new power, like in all those role playing games. He started pummeling Corey like he had never pummeled anyone before. “Laura doesn’t want you; get it through your drunk head, Corey!” Jan yelled. He reveled in the sheer power that coursed through him while he fought with Corey… until hands pulled him back.
The bouncers had caught up to them. One pulled Jan away from Corey while the other pulled Corey from the ground. He got free and managed to hit Jan on his cheek, before he was caught by his bouncer again.
They were forbidden to ever frequent the club again. “Dudes… have we ever seen Jan like this before?” Callum asked Tom and Justin. “I know right? It’s like he knew this was going to happen. And he got your 50 bucks, Tom! You’re still planning on paying him, right?” Justin asked. “Sure, c’mon!” Tom said and they walked over to Laura.
“Are you alright, Laura?” Tom asked as they stood around her. “Humph,” she grunted, “I could have handled Corey myself. Jan didn’t need to come in between me and Corey. What the hell was he thinking? I can’t believe it! At school he’s such a normal guy, and here… WHAM!” Laura shouted, mimicking the slam of Jan’s blow to Corey. “Does he study martial arts or something? You would know right, you three are his friends, right?”
Corey and the rest of his gang apparently had enough of this place, so they left. Not quietly, but with cursing obscenities at Jan for getting their friend kicked out of the club and also forbidden to ever set foot in the club again.
“You’re right, Laura, he has never shown such things before. Come on, let’s go find him.” Justin said as they started to go to the entrance of the club. “Right behind you.” Laura said.
Erica returned into the club from the backdoor and frowned. “Cassidy, what’s happened here?” She asked a fellow friend of hers. “You should have seen it, ‘Rica! Laura was dancing and all of a sudden a drunk Corey decided to lay his hands on her! She succeeds in getting him off and she gets smacked in the face by Corey and that’s not all, ‘Rica, her next door neighbor suddenly butts in and the two guys start fighting!”
Erica gasped. “What? Where is she now? Jan fought with Corey? That’s horrible!” Erica said shocked. Cassidy or anyone else could clearly tell by her facial expression. “She went outside with Jan’s friends to check up on him. Oh and that’s not all, Corey and Jan are banished from ever setting foot in here again.” Cassidy added. “What are we standing here for? C’mon!” Erica grabbed Cassidy and they dashed outside to the group that was already forming.
“What the HELL were you thinking?!” Laura shouted at Jan.
“I just wanted to help you. I couldn’t let him lay his hands on you like that! I had to do something! So I thought of teaching him a lesson.”
“Teaching him a lesson. Did you even stop to think that this action would earn yourself and Corey a lifelong ban of this place? I think you forgot to think about that, am I right?” Laura asked sarcastically. “I could have handled him myself, you know.”
“Right, Laura.” Jan whispered as he rolled his eyes.
Okay, so this was definitely NOT the same Laura from his dream. That Laura would have been thankful, not acting like this.
“WHAT DID YOU SAY?!” Laura shouted as she was ready to hit Jan, but she was pulled back from acting out her idea by her friends who pulled her back. “Let me go!” Laura shouted.
“What are we going to do now? How about we call Jan’s dad so…” Callum suggested, but was cut off. “Oh no you don’t.” Jan retorted. “I’m not going to call him. Not after this.”
“I’ll drive you home.” Erica said. Laura got free and glared at her. “Fine, you finally get what you wanted anyway. Hey, maybe we should take off this father’s weight of his shoulders by having Jan carpool with us?” Laura mimicked Erica’s exact words as she had spoken in Erica’s car. “Hey, that’s not nice, Lau.” Erica said by way of Laura’s nickname. Her friend rolled her eyes. “Bite me, Erica.”
When the girls had their little spat, Tom pushed 50 bucks into Jan’s wallet. He had pulled it out of Jan’s pocket and showed Jan what he was doing. Jan couldn’t even smile that he had won 50 bucks. “Thanks, Tom.” He whispered. “A lot of good that will do me now.” Jan added.
“Well, you earned it, buddy. You won it fair and square.” Tom said and held out his hand. Jan shook it and got a reassuring hug from his friend. He got the same from Justin and Callum. “Well, keep in touch, okay?” Callum asked. “Sure thing buddy.”
Erica and Laura hugged Cassidy and then walked back to Erica’s car. “You’re such an idiot!” Laura said to Jan. “Don’t you start with that I could have handled him myself.” Erica said as they got into her car and put on their seatbelt. “I won’t have the two of you destroying my car.”
Jan sat in the back while Laura sat in the front… what they didn’t know was that Justin and Cassidy had called Jan’s and Laura’s house to notify their parents. It was safe to say they weren’t pleased.
He decided not to listen in on their conversation so he just stared blankly ahead in front of him. He had just wanted to help her and this was how she thanked him? Not that he had expected her to go down on him right from the start, but a “thank you, Jan” would really have been nice.
When they were at their street, did Laura look at Jan the moment they were out of the car and had said goodnight to Erica. “Sorry for having been so rough on you, Jan.” Laura said and gave him a hug. “Will I see you tomorrow?” She asked him.
Their fathers were standing in front of the windows to look out at this intimate hug. Their looks were none too happy.
Jan smiled at Laura. “Absolutely. Maybe get together for some ice-cream. Or do homework together. Or…” Laura had ended the hug. “Doing homework together? Sounds like fun.” She said with a smile. “Well, goodnight, Jan.” she said. “Goodnight to you too, Laura.”
They walked toward the door and used their key to get access. They hadn’t turned around to close the door or their fathers were both clearing their throat. Both were looking none too happy at their child.
“Something you want to tell me, Son?” “Something you want to tell me, Sunshine?”
“Uhm… not that I know of.” Jan and Laura replied to their dads.
“You got into a fight with a kid from school.” “You were attacked by this guy from school.”
Jan and Laura were astonished. How did he know?
“I did. What of it?” Jan replied. “Yeah… about that, dad, I had it all under control. I felt this strange power come over me, it was so strange, I wanted to…” Laura started to explain, but got cut off by her dad.
“DON’T GIVE ME THIS ATTITUDE!” Simon shouted at his son. “Just because you are going to turn into the next Slayer doesn’t mean that you…” Instead of the parent cutting off the child, the role was reversed. “Say what?!”
“Laura, you are not just going to turn 18 in a few days. You will become bestowed with Vampire powers. Technically, you are already a Vampire. If you had taken off your ring for one second in the daylight, you would have died already.” Laura shrieked. “I’m a what?!”
“Slayer? What are you talking about?” Jan asked, demanding answers. “I suppose the time has come to tell you about the family business… when you become 18, you will receive your full Slayer powers. But that’s not all… you are to stay away from the family next door.”
“Yes, you’re a Vampire, honey. It’s the family business. I’m one and your mother is one. All I ask of you is that you stay away from the family next door.”
“Come again?” Both Jan and Laura asked.
“Even though we are friends with them, the people next door are Slayers.”
“Even though we are friends with them, the people next door are Vampires.”
Their children stared in horror at their dads.
I’m not allowed to hang out with Jan/Laura ever again? That was the last and only thought on their mind.
