Jack

Kat and Dallas had just walked home, I stood on my porch to make sure they got there safely. We had all talked about everyone for a good three hours, and it was just starting to get dark. The guys and I got to know Katrina more, as well as Dallas, who turned out to be a pretty cool guy. I watched them shut the door behind them and I walked back into my house. I went into the living room and saw my three friends sitting on the couch. I walked in and took a seat in the chair and watched the Netflix show that was on, Orange Is The New Black.

“You’re crushing on a fucking hunter.” Zack spoke. I looked over at him and saw he was looking straight at me. I glared back at him.

“So what if I am?” I asked.

“There's just two facts. One, she will never like you back. Two, she can kill you at any second.” He said.

“First off, I already got her to trust me, so you never know, I can use my charm and win her over. Secondly, I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt, just like she is with us. I’m going to trust her not to sneak into our house in the middle of the night and put a stake to each of our chests.”

“I think we should trust them as well. I’m starting to like that Dallas kid, he’s much nicer when you get to know him.” Alex said.

“I agree.” Rian said, nodding his head in agreement. Zack sighed, finally giving in and accepting the fact that we were going to help Kat and Dallas out. If Vlad really does come around, I’ll be waiting. I have been wanting revenge on him since the day it all started. He will get what he has coming to him. I let out a yawn and stood up, stretching my long arms into the air.

“Fuck, it’s only 8pm and I’m already tired. I’ll see you guys in the morning.” I spoke. They all told me good night and I made my way upstairs. I threw off my shirt and and jeans, leaving myself in only my boxers. Yes, Vampire's don’t really sleep, but the guys and I trained ourselves to do so, even if it’s only for a couple hours a night, we want to feel somewhat human. Once I climbed under my blanket, I fell asleep almost a split second later.
I wasn’t asleep for long when I woke back up to the sound of my my phone going off. I reached over to it and saw Kat’s name on the screen, as well as the time 3:22am. I quickly answered the phone and put it to my ear? “Kat? Are you okay?”

“It’s Dallas. Kat had a nightmare that freaked her out, and she’s freaking out right now. She only gets this way when the dreams are about Vlad and our parents. Can you come over and try and calm her down? I can’t do it. Normally I can but I can’t this time.” Dallas spoke quickly.

“Go to your door to let me in. I’ll be there in a second.” I spoke as I ended the call and jumped up from my bed I grabbed my jeans I had on last night, since they were right in front of me, and quickly put them on. Not really caring that I didn’t have a shirt on, I quickly ran down that stairs, seeing everyone was still in the living room.

“What the hell Jack? What’s the rush?” Alex asked.

“Dallas just called me and told me he needed me to come over and help calm Kat down, she had a horrid dream. He thinks it was about her parents and Vlad. I’ll be back when I’m back.” I said opening the door and running out, making my way next door in a second, just as Dallas opened the door.

“Fuck your quick. She’s up in her room, come on in.” Dallas said moving out of the way. I rushed into the house and went down the hallway, seeing one door open with a light on, I walked into the room and saw Kat curled up in a ball on the ground. I didn’t think she could ever get this scared. She puts up a strong front, how could she be this scared? I walked over to the girl and put my hand on her shoulder. She shot her head up and pushed herself away, not even looking at me.

“Kat, it’s me. Jack. I’m not going to hurt you.” I said quietly. Her eyes met mine as I spoke and I could she her calm down a little bit. I put my hand on her arm, making sure she wouldn’t flinch away from me again, she didn’t. I put one arm around her back and the other under her legs. I picked her up bridal style and walked her over to her bed. I placed her in the bed and covered her up with the blankets. I saw she had a stereo in her room so I walked over and pressed play, seeing it already had a CD in it. I turned it down when the sweet sounds of Fall Out Boy came through the speakers. I walked over to her bed and sat on the edge and took her hand. I could feel her shaking. “It’s okay, Kat. Nothing is going to happen to you. I promise.”
It took a few more minutes of coxing, but I finally got her to calm down and just about fall into a deep sleep. That’s when I decided I should probably get back over to my house. I let go of her hand and stood up. “Night, Katrina.” I started walking out of the room, but she caught my arm.

“Please don’t leave me alone tonight.” She spoke. Her voice was so small and timid. She sounded so vulnerable. I looked at the time. 11pm. I guess I could stay the night.

“Let me go to the living room and talk to Dallas real quick. I’ll be right back, I promise.” I spoke. She nodded her head slowly and let go of my hand. I made my way out of the room and down the hallway and into the living room. “Hey Dallas. Kat wants me to stay the night. Is that okay with you?”

“Since you were kind enough to ask. Sure. But if you touch her in anyway she don’t like. I cut kill you.” He said, looking over to me.

“You got it boss.” I said. I turned back around and made my way back down the hallway to Kat’s room. When I entered the room I saw she was hiding under her blanket. “Kat, it’s just me. Jack.” He peeked her head out and looked at me, visibly calming down. She moved the blanket and opened it for me to join her in the bed. “I normally sleep in my boxers, is that okay with you? Or should I keep my jeans on?”

“It’s fine.” She spoke quietly. I nodded my head and took off my jeans, again, leaving myself in only my boxers. I climbed into the bed with her and she let the blanket drop from her hand and onto me. I turned off the lamp that was on the side table on my side of the bed I was laying on. Once the light went out, I felt Kat cuddle up into my side. I waited a minute, waiting for her to understand what she was doing, so she would move. The Kat I knew that wasn’t having a freak out wouldn’t cuddle with me, she would probably throw me out the window if she could, even if she is truthing me to protect her and Dallas from Vlad. Once she didn’t move, I put my arm around her and she just moved closer to me. I could get used to this.

Notes

Sorry it's short.
I needed to get a chapter out, but I'm really tired.
So now I'm going to go take a nap.

But yay for a Jack POV.
