Falling Up

Summary: AU! James is one of the last surviving vampires on the planet trying to fit into society. Kendall is a beginner vampire hunter. And as we all know, vampire and vampire hunters just can't fall in love. Kames/Cargan.

Author's Note: So this is my first Big Time Rush fanfiction, the idea arose after watching the BTR Halloween special way too many times. Also Carlos is OOC in this chapter but I promise he'll be back to his goofball self later on. So please enjoy and review!

"Oh Edward, your sparkles make you look so much hotter!" The dumb brunette, that really make all brunettes and girls look stupid, exclaimed as she touched this 'Edward's' chest.

"Bella, I want to eat you- I mean kiss you."

"Please!" And then an ugly-ass vampire and a dimwitted human began to make out on the screen.

James wanted to drive a stake through his heart and explode. Is this seriously how the twenty-first century portrayed vampires? As sparkling, extremely hot, vegetarian blood-suckers? "Mom! Have you seen this movie? Are they seriously trying to make us look so weak?"

Mrs. Diamond, who just came out of the laundry room with the basket of clothes, just laughed. "Oh Twilight? I saw that movie last year with your father and we're going to see the new one tomorrow."

The brunette's eyes widen. "Mom! How can you sit through this shit?"

"Language young man."

"Sorry… but still! They're making fun of us mom! We don't sparkle!" James grabbed the remote and changed the channel to something NOT with sparkling vampires. The random channel was celebrity news, in which Kristin Stewart and Robert Patterson were going to get married. "ARG!"

Mrs. Diamond laughed again. "Calm down dear. But they could go back to the old stereotypes of us burning in the sun and attacking young women."

"I rather watch that on T.V." James growled.

"You're probably just hungry, so look for Carlos."

"Fine." James shut off the television and walked down to the basement. As always it was dark except for a small light in the middle of the room with a lamp, a microscope, more science-y stuff and a teenager in a lab coat. James crept forward to look over what his friend was doing. "So wha'cha doing?"

"Adios mios!" The Latino screamed as he dropped the sample. "Really James? I told you I hate it when you sneak up on me!"

James picked up the broken glass and sample. "Sorry but you were so concentrated I just had to distract you." He laughed.

"Bite me." Carlos shot back. Now usually Carlos would come up with a better come back but when he was actually concentrating on something and then interrupted he would get snappy.

"Well I could-

"Dude, no! Now if you excuse me I'm trying to find you a cure. Go… go sparkle or something I'm busy."

James rolled his eyes and walked to the other side of the table. He pulled a stool and sat, watching his friend work on the experiment. He couldn't believe this is the same guy who was able to come up with a blood substitute so James and his family can survive, yet is the same kid who failed biology, twice.

You should have picked up by now that James is a vampire, and sadly one of the last surviving vampires on earth. Before, a long time ago, like really long ago, vampires were everywhere as well as hunted. As a quick summary they all eventually died from the populous hunters and now there are only a few families of vampires left, including James. Over the centuries the stereotypes of vampires decreased and soon became untrue. In the beginning James did had to hide from the sun and avoid holy water but somehow they adapted to the new environment. He can now go and get a sun tan and even attend church. And the theory of 'Vampires are dead' is so unreal! If a vampire was dead he wouldn't have a heartbeat, no blood flow, and that way no erection!(1) James was a growing teen so he still got those. Technically they just live forever (unless a stake through the heart). Besides a very, very low pulse vampires are definitely alive. His vampire teeth have shrunken, due to the fact he doesn't eat humans anymore, but a stake through his heart still can kill. The only real distinctive part of James was his eyes which gave a hazel glow.

How he and Carlos know each other is another long story because their families had known each others for generations but there was never conflict. They helped each other out in any way possible and took the risk of being caught. When the vampires began to die down James and his family were back in Romania trying to find other survivors. Carlos's mother offered refuge at their time of need and that's how James ended up in Minnesota, specifically living with Carlos. Carlos's parents were scientist and secretly researched about vampires. But because of the hunt for the final vampires was on the high levels they had to stop and allow their son, whose failing grades was a good cover-up, take charge. He already found a blood substitute for them so they wouldn't have to feed on humans. But now Carlos wants to find a cure to make James human and save him from the hunt. To blend in the town James's parents did get jobs and James will soon be attending school with Carlos. As far as Carlos knows there are no vampire hunters and since the town is small vampires were just the sparkling things on T.V. For now they're safe.

"Hey… I'm bored." James whined.

"So?"

"So let's go run in the snow or something! Or help me with the laundry! Please I'm so bored I may actually do my chores!" James had his head on the table and scratching at the plastic.

"Then do them."

"I said may do my chores."

Carlos looked up from his microscope and rolled his eyes. "Fine, just let me clean this up." Carlos removed his sample and put everything away.

"Oh! And I'm hungry!"

"Blood is in the second drawer." Carlos called as he placed his microscope in a cabinet.

The vampire opened up a couple of drawers before finding his food. "Thanks." He opened the bottle and took a sip.

"Dammit, I have to shove this thing in." Carlos complained as he pushed the microscope in.

"That's what she said."

Carlos glared at James. "Please that joke is getting as old you."

"Well that's not what Logan was saying last night."

Suddenly a glass dropped. "W-what?"

Bingo. "Well I didn't smell another person in the room but all I heard was 'Oh Logan, push it in harder!' So were you masturbating or phone sex? Well technically both are masturbating but-

"Dude I get it!" Carlos yelled as he removed his lab coat. "I-I didn't realize I was being so loud."

"Nah, I just have enhanced hearing. So who is Logan? Your boyfriend? You never mentioned him before."

Carlos's face was now red but he tried to regain his composure. "Yeah he is… um, he goes to school with me, and you'll meet him soon."

"So you bottom?"

"Are we going in the snow or what?"

Left punch, right hook, kick, kick.

"Ow! Dude enough training! I'm getting bruises." Logan yelled as he took off his helmet.

The blonde punching him can only laugh. "Come on, you're wearing a full body padding and you're getting bruised?"

Logan pouted and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I really doubt vampire hunting involves kicking a HUMAN a million times in the ribs Kendall."

Kendall threw Logan a towel and a water bottle. "Hey, Katie is twelve and she's already five levels higher than me. I need more training if I want to kill a vampire."

"That's just it Kendall, there are no vampires in this town! The most of them live in Europe, or the sewers. This whole vampire crap is dying down, and the last vampires may just die out from the lack of blood."

"And what if they don't? There are over a billion people on this planet, a billion targets. They're still feeding."

Logan sighed. "Whatever. Can we eat now? Getting my ass kicked by my best friend really brings up an appetite."

"Sure, the pizza is in the oven." Logan removed the last of the padding and followed Kendall to the kitchen. There Mrs. Knight was talking out the pizza while Katie was sharpening her stake.

"Hey Logan, your boyfriend wants to know when you can make it tonight." She announced bluntly.

"Katie, how many times did I tell you not to read other people's texts?" Mrs. Knight asked.

Katie paused. "Thirty four…"

Kendall chuckled and took two slices of pizza. "So mom, are you and your date going to see that new Twilight movie?"

His mom smiled happily. "Yup, tomorrow night. So make sure you feed Katie… no, Katie make sure you feed your brother."

Logan took a bite of his pizza. "Man I wish all vampires just sparkled, that way they would be easier to kill."

The Knight family laughed. "Vampires… pft, stupid creatures."

Author's Note: Like I said sorry about Carlos being out of character and for the very lame ending. But please review and it will get better, promise! I also apologize for any spelling/grammar/punctuation mistakes. Remember, vampires don't sparkle!

(1) If a vampire was dead he wouldn't have a heartbeat, no bloodflow, and that way no erection!: I saw this funny picture on someone's webcam on deviantART that has Bella and Edward talking. She asks a series of questions starting with 'you don't have a heartbeat.' With no heartbeat, no blood flow. No blood flow means no erection! I found it hilarious and I just had to add it in.
