So yet another new one from me. I know you're probably all wanting me to finish my current stories and I will. I just wanted to get this up soon. I suggest you read Differences before you read this, and if you have read Differences then go back and just look over the last chapter to refresh your memory.

Chapter 1: Not Just a Dream

I sighed as I followed the guys out to the limo. Kelly had told us we were getting our picture in Pop Tiger magazine. James was excited about it. Carlos had no idea what Pop Tiger was and Kendall thought it was lame. I thought it would be cool. James then went on about how cool Pop Tiger was and how there were things for guys in it as well. He then brought up Dak Zevon which sent Carlos into fan mode. We fought just a little bit before we arrived at the studio. The limo was mobbed by girls. We all got scared and then one of them screamed something we couldn't quite make out and they ran off. We all looked at Kelly scared of what had just happened.

"What was that?" Kendall asked pointing to the retreating girls.

"That was a pack of screaming fan girls looking for Dak Zevon," Kelly said, "he's in the studio recording vocals for Varsity Vampire 2," she explained.

"He's here at Rocque Records?" Carlos asked his eyes going wide in excitement.

"Just one great picture in Pop Tiger and those girls will be screaming for Big Time Rush," Kelly said ignoring Carlos. We had all grown accustom to Carlos going into fan boy mode when Dak was mentioned. We just ignored him at times like these. We all headed into the studio. Mrs. Knight and Katie were there. Katie was here trying to see Dak Zevon as well. Carlos was upset that he had to work, but I knew he was forming a plan to sneak off. After Katie used the puppy eyes on Kelly and Kelly gave her Dak's information. I could see the plan forming in her mind.

We walk into the studio and saw the photographer already there and testing his camera. Gustavo was there as well. He set us up and got us ready to take the picture. Everything was going fine until the police showed up and took Kelly and Gustavo away. Griffin took over after that. The day was a disaster and that was putting it mildly.

In the end though we got the picture we wanted and not what Griffin wanted. It was crazy and I hated that we almost ended up as space matadors on snowmobiles with stuffy puppies. That had been really stupid if you asked me. I don't even know how Griffin even got that idea. We were all relaxing and glad that that was over. When Katie came out of the vent system.

"Hey guys, look who I found today," Katie said. Dak Zevon popped up behind her. I got the feeling like I should know Dak for some reason. He seemed really familiar. I snuck a glance at Carlos who was just staring at Dak.

"I think she just saved my life," Dak said. He placed a hand on her shoulder and Katie smiled big. I was sure Carlos wanted to be in her place right now.

"That's Dak Zevon" she screamed. We all tried to stop her but it was too late. The girls came screaming. Dak hid and we were trampled and hurt.

After that we headed back to the Palm Woods. We told Camille and our other friends about what had happened and she thought it was hilarious. Then when we got to the end she laughed again.

"It was totally worth it because we're going to be on the walls of millions of girls," Carlos said proudly.

"Of course you are," Camille said still holding the picture, "because Dak Zevon is on the other side," she said turning the picture around to show us the other side. We all groaned and fell back onto our chairs.

That was just our luck. Dak was on the back. That was just the icing on the cake. We had worked so hard to get a great picture, but in the end it didn't even matter. Dak Zevon, the same guy who got us hurt was the reason girls would have out poster on their wall only it wouldn't be showing us. I shook my head and got up to leave the pool.

I was walking through the lobby when someone stopped me. I turned and saw Dak Zevon. He was wearing a hat and sunglasses, but I recognized him. I hadn't noticed it before, but I felt like I should know him. I had this feeling that I should know him from somewhere. He seemed really familiar to me.

"Dak," I said.

"Hey," Dak said smiling slightly.

"What are you doing here," I asked him. This was the home to the future famous, not the already famous, unless they had a connection to this place and didn't want to leave. Then again who wouldn't want to leave this place. Mr. Bitters was a horrible manager. He seemed to hate everyone here. I don't know why he even worked here.

"I wanted to apologize for getting you and your friends attacked by fan girls," Dak said interrupting my thoughts, "that and I kind of need to move in here for a bit since where I am living now is flooded and this place has great memories for me," he said.

"You got you're start here?" I asked. Dak nodded his head.

"Most people do," he said.

"So I'll see you around?" I asked.

"Yeah," Dak said smiling. I walked away and Dak followed me to the elevator.

"Not stalking me are you?" I asked jokingly.

"I was heading to my apartment when you ran into me," Dak said laughing. His laugh seemed so familiar. We both stepped into the elevator together.

"Oh, just to warn you my friend Carlos has a huge crush on you," I said turning to him. I knew Carlos was bound to run into Dak eventually and I thought it would only be fair to warn him.

"That doesn't surprise me," Dak said laughing lightly.

"Get a lot of people crushing on you," I asked looking at him. He had to, he was Dak Zevon for crying out loud. He was on his way to super stardom soon.

"You could say that," Dak said laughing. We arrived at the second floor and both got out.

"Staying on the second floor?" I asked looking at him.

"2B," Dak said, "so I'll see you around?" he asked.

"Sure," I said. Dak nodded his head at me and smiled. He patted my back. My head hurt as images and memories of me and Dak came flooding into my mind. Images of me and Kendall and wolves and vampires came to me. I fell to the my knees holding my head as they all just kept coming to me. Then it stopped and I looked up at Dak. "Dak," I said slowly.

"What?" Dak asked. I slowly stood up and looked him in the eyes before smiling as I remembered everything. I wasn't just a human I was a hybrid. One of the first of my kind. Dak was a hybrid also. He was a hybrid because of me. I turned him.

"What happened?" I asked looking around.

"What do you mean?" Dak asked slowly.

"With Hawk and Dustin?" I asked.

"You remember?" Dak asked looking at me.

"Of course I do," I said looking at him. I remembered everything. It hadn't been a dream at all. "What about the others?" I asked.

"Buddha Bob brought you all back," Dak said, "for the last sixteen years I've had to wait for you to find you're way out here, Hawk was defeated kind of, but we lost so many," he said looking down at his feet.

"I was one of them wasn't I?" I asked, "the last thing I remember was Carlos dying," I said looking up at Dak.

"That was the hardest thing ever," Dak said tears coming to his eyes, "watching him die like that," he said shaking his head.

"What about me what happened to me?" I asked.

"Can we go somewhere else to talk?" Dak asked.

"I can't," I said, "Mrs. Knight's at the crib and if I get caught going to your place Carlos will get mad because he has a big crush on you," I said.

"I know he does," Dak said laughing, "I kind of have a huge crush on him too but your place is fine," he said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Mrs. Knight knows me," he said as he walked down the hall towards 2J.

"What do you mean?" I asked, "she didn't die either?" I asked.

"A few of us survived," Dak said. We walked in silence the rest of the way to 2J. I opened the door for Dak and he walked in ahead of me. Mrs. Knight was in the kitchen. She looked to the door and froze when she saw Dak.

"Dak," she said.

"Hey Jennifer," Dak said.

"Dak," she said again.

"It's ok I remember," I said, "The war and everything," I added. Mrs. Knight looked at me before smiling at me.

"Well that's good then," she said.

"Now what happened with Hawk?" I asked.

"He was defeated sort of but humans took a stand against wolves and vampires and we had to go into hiding," Dak said.

"Who all survived?" I asked.

"Me, Camille, Dustin, Hailey, Mrs. Knight, Joanna, Kevin, David, Buddha Bob, Gustavo, Kelly, and a few others," Dak said.

"Wow," I said walking over to the orange couch and sitting down. This was a lot to take in. I had a hard time believing it. "It wasn't a dream then," I said.

"What?" Dak asked me confused.

"A few months ago back in Minnesota I had a dream about us, I thought it was a dream," I said.

"It was a memory trying to break free," Dak said, "you weren't exactly dead and Buddha Bob and Gustavo saved you by turning you into a baby and making you like a human. When your memories broke free you would get your powers back," he said.

"So is Hawk still alive?" I asked looking up at Dak.

"Yes, he's Gustavo's rival in the recording business but I am not sure if he knows about all of us," Dak said.

"He's still alive?" I asked shocked. Dak nodded his head. I could not believe someone like Hawk was still alive. Hawk wanted to kill vampires and wolves. He needed to be killed. "How long have I been dormant?" I asked looking at Dak.

"Almost twenty years," Dak said, "you and the guys didn't age at first until Carlos was reborn," he said.

"Carlos was reborn?" I asked.

"He's still a wolf, but just not in the same body," Dak said, "I've been watching you all grow up from afar, until Gustavo talked me into Hollywood away from you guys," he said.

"Why did you stay away?" I asked confused.

"Obviously too much contact with me and you'd all get your memories back," Dak said.

"Right," I said nodding my head. Then I remember something important that I need to know. Well there was two things I wanted to know. "Wait what happened to Lizzie?" I asked.

"I was wondering when you were going to ask that," Dak said smiling at me, "she's alive and well. She wants to meet James because he's her father and Katie because she's her mother reincarnated," he said.

"Where is she," I asked.

"She's my sister to the public," Dak said, "she is living across town on her own," he said.

"What does she look like?" I asked. Dak pulled his wallet out and took a picture out to show me. I took the picture. In the picture was Dak and a girl about his age. She had thick brown hair and hazel eyes like James. Her face reminded me of Katie though. She had become such a beautiful young woman. "Last time I remember seeing her she was a black haired pup," I said looking up from the picture.

"She's grown a lot since then," Dak said laughing, "She's twenty," he added smiling.

"She's had her first transformation then?" I asked. Dak nodded his head.

"Ok one more question," I said.

"What?" Dak asked.

"My baby," I said looking at him.

"That's where it get tricky," Dak said, "Buddha Bob and Gustavo managed to freeze the baby's development. It's still inside you just dormant and waiting until you and Kendall you know," he said looking away from me.

"I get it," I said blushing.

"You haven't," Mrs. Knight started.

"No," I said quickly. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I quickly pulled my cell phone out. I got a text from Kendall asking where I was. He told him I was at the crib and turned my attention to Dak. "We have to keep this secret a bit longer until we know what's going on," I said.

"I agree, but now that's Carlos is old enough I don't know if I can help myself," Dak said.

"You'll help yourself," I said, "we can't risk him getting his memories yet. He's the biggest blabber mouth," I added.

"Fine," Dak sighed. I knew he loved Carlos and Everything, but we didn't need Carlos broadcasting to the world that we were wolves and vampires. They were supposedly killed out two decades ago and those that were alive were to be killed on sight. "I have to go, but I'll set up something with Buddha Bob," he said.

"Why not Gustavo?" I asked.

"One I still haven't forgiven him for blinding me, and two he yells a lot now," Dak said as he walked to the door. I laughed and nodded my head.

"Wait," I said stopping him. "Want my number so we can text?" I asked. Dak nodded his head. We exchanged numbers and he left. I turned to look at Mrs. Knight. "I can't tell the guys about this can I?" I asked. She shook her head.

"Sorry hun," she said.

"I guess I might as well tell you Kendall and I have been dating since we moved out here," I said, "it actually happened the night before we left," I added.

"I figured you two would get together sooner or later," Mrs. Knight said smiling at me. I knew now why she was ok with this. She had come to terms with this a long time ago. It was inevitable really. Kendall and I were soul mates.

"Just act surprised when Kendall wants to tell you unless he remembers by then," I said. Mrs. Knight nodded her head. I walked over to the couch and sat down. I turned the TV on in hopes of distracting myself. The apartment door opened and Kendall, James, and Carlos walked into the room.

"Hey Logie," Kendall said walking over to me.

"Hey," I said turning to him smiling lightly.

"Hey boys how was your day?" Mrs. Knight asked.

"Exhausting," James said.

"Never again," Carlos said, "I don't care what Kelly said we are not getting out picture in a magazine because it will only end up bad for us," he said shaking his head.

"What are the odds that Dak Zevon ended up on the back of our picture," James said shaking his head. I looked at James and saw how much Lizzie looked like him. He would be so proud if he remembered her. The door opened and Katie walked into the apartment with a wad of cash in her hands.

"Hey Katie," James and Carlos said.

"Hey baby sister," Kendall said.

"Hey guys," Katie said walked over to the couch and sitting down next to James. I then remembered how perfect they were for one another. They had been so great together. I saw so much of Lizzie in Katie as well. She was a mix of both her parents. I knew keeping this secret was going to be hard.

The rest of the day was spent hanging out in the crib laughing and just having fun together. Katie and James were always close together. I was started to suspect they might like one another. Then again it wouldn't surprise me.

"Hey did you guys know Dak Zevon might be staying here," Katie said suddenly, "I saw him in the lobby before I came up," she said.

"He's here at the Palm Woods?" Carlos asked turning to Katie.

"Yeah I saw him earlier today too," I said, "I ran into him and he wanted to apologize for getting us hurt on his behalf," I said.

"You talked to Dak again without me," Carlos asked shocked.

"It was just a short conversation in the elevator," I said shrugging. Carlos looked ready to kill me.

"What floor is he staying on?" Carlos asked.

"I don't know," I said looking away from him. I knew if I told him he would go looking for Dak and he would get his memories back as well.

"What floor Logan you were with him in the elevator you had to see which floor," Carlos said.

"I wasn't paying attention," I said.

"Bull you had to press the button to get to the second floor," Carlos said.

"I did, didn't I?" I asked. Carlos really looked like he was about to murder me. I knew Kendall wouldn't let that happen, but it was scary. I guess I should be glad he doesn't know he's a wolf.

"Logan Mitchell," Carlos said warningly.

"Fine I'll tell you as long as you promise not to try and stalk him," I said.

"I make no such promise," Carlos said.

"Then you won't know what floor Dak is staying on," I said.

"Fine, fine, I promise," Carlos said, "now tell me," he said moving to sit beside me. I almost didn't want to do this, but a deal was a deal.

"He's on this floor, down the hall somewhere," I said.

"Oh my god he's on this floor," Carlos all but shouted. I jumped back from him leaning into Kendall. I had not expected him to yell like that.

"Yes, now leave him alone unless you run into him by accident," I said, "the only way you're ever going to get him to like you is by not seeming like a stalker," I said. I knew that wasn't true. Dak was completely in love with Carlos. They were soul mates like Kendall and I were. The same could be said about James and Katie as well. I mean they were only a year apart in age so it wasn't that big of deal.

"I can't believe Dak Zevon is staying here at the Palm Woods," Carlos said dreamily. I laughed and shook my head.

"Ok boys, Katie, dinner time," Mrs. Knight called from the kitchen. We all made out way over to the table and sat down.

Mrs. Knight had made her famous spaghetti and meatballs. I started eating, but it wasn't filling like it normally was. I managed to eat it though. I knew it was my old habit kicking in. I had never eaten human food when I was a vampire. I preferred blood. I looked over at Mrs. Knight. She was looking at me and I saw a look of knowing in her eyes. I was suddenly thirsty. I knew my thirst was going to get pretty bad if I didn't get blood soon. I didn't know what to do either. I didn't drink human blood and there wasn't a forest around for miles. I didn't know how to get animal blood. Then again there was Kendall, but he didn't remember and I didn't want to bring his memories back just yet.

After dinner I decided to go lay down. I didn't want to think about my thirst for blood. I knew if I didn't think about it, it wouldn't bother me. I just needed something to take my mind off of it. I grabbed a book and started to read when the door opened. I looked up and saw Kendall standing there.

"Hey," he said smiling at me.

"Hey you," I said. Kendall walked over to the bed sat down next to me.

"I've been thinking," Kendall said slowly.

"Never a good sign," I teased.

"Shut up," Kendall said laughing. I ran my fingers across my lips zipping them shut. Kendall laughed again but continued. "I was thinking maybe we should tell my mom and the guys we're dating," he said.

"And Katie?" I asked.

"Yeah her too," Kendall said.

"Well we've been trying to do that almost since we moved out here," I said.

"I know, but they deserve to know," Kendall said.

"I know," I said moving over to sit next to him. "I think we should tell them too, but not yet," I said.

"Why not yet?" Kendall asked confused.

"Cause I want to do this," I said pulling Kendall to me. I pressed my lips to his and Kendall melted instantly into me. I smiled as I laid back pulling him with me. Kendall moved so he was positioned in between my legs. Kendall groaned and his hands began to wander. A small groan escaped my lips and I brought my hands up to Kendall's hair. I tugged lightly then remembered my strength. I had to be careful. We were really getting into it when the door opened.

"Kendall, Logan Mrs. Knight wants to know if you two have any-" James said stopping short when he saw us. We froze and not sure what to do. I pushed Kendall up off of me and stared at James shocked. I hadn't realized Kendall hadn't locked the door.

"Um," I said slowly. James just turned and walked out of the room. Kendall and I jumped up and followed James out to the living room.

"Carlos you owe me ten bucks," James said.

"Huh?" Carlos asked.

"Wait what's going on," Kendall said confused.

"I was so right they are dating," James said.

"What?" Carlos asked looking at Kendall and I. My jaw dropped and I looked at my two friends. "Are you guys dating?" he asked. Kendall nodded his head slowly. I didn't know what to expect. Carlos grumbled as he handed James ten bucks.

"We were going to tell you guys, but every time we tried something stopped us from telling," I said looking at them.

"We knew you two would tell us when you were ready," James said, "well I did, Carlos was sure it was just you two being all buddy-buddy," he said.

"You guys are ok with this?" Kendall asked.

"Ok with what?" Mrs. Knight asked as she walked into the apartment. She had an empty laundry basket in her hands with Katie behind her.

"Mom," Kendall said. He looked over at me and I nodded my head.

"Logan and I are dating," Kendall said. A small smile spread across Mrs. Knight features.

"I kind of saw this coming honey," Mrs. Knight said, "you and Logan always were close," she said. My eyes widened when I realized what she was hinting at. Maybe she wanted him to remember the past as well. I didn't want that just yet, until I knew what was going on.

"So you're ok with this," I asked.

"Of course, I've kind of been preparing for it," she said smiling at me. I knew what she meant. She had to wait twenty years for this to happen again. I was glad that she was ok with it this time and didn't want to kill me.

"Thanks mom," Kendall said walking over to her and giving her a hug. He let her go and Mrs. Knight walked over to me and gave me a hug.

"Be careful, you have the same power Dak holds. You can bring back his memories if you're not careful," she whispered in my ear.

"I won't hurt him Mrs. Knight," I said. She nodded her head and let me go. She turned and walked away. I looked over at Katie.

"I already knew," Katie said, "it was so obvious," she said laughing.

"So you're ok with this," Kendall asked smiling at his little sister.

"Yeah," Katie said, "love is love and you two have it," she said.

"Thanks baby sister," Kendall said walking over to her and giving her a hug. "Oh and by the way I know about you and James," he added as he let her go.

"What?" Katie asked her face flushing red.

"I caught you two sucking face in the lobby about a month ago," Kendall said.

"I told you he would find out," James said.

"He's not the only one," I said, "I kind of figured something was going on between you two," I added looking from James to Katie.

"I knew from the beginning, they made me keep quiet," Carlos said.

"I am ok with it, as long as you don't hurt her," Kendall said rounding on James. James put his hands up.

"I have no intention of that," he said.

"Does mom know?" Kendall asked Katie. Katie nodded her head.

"I told her and asked her not to tell you," Katie said.

"Why?" Kendall asked.

"I thought you would freak," Katie said.

"Wait a month ago?" I asked Kendall. He nodded his head. A month ago we hit a rough patch in our relationship. Kendall hardly talked to me for a week and we had a big fight. Then Kendall apologized and we were fine. "That was when you stopped talking to me," I said.

"Yes and you know how sorry I am for that, I was trying to process what I had seen," Kendall said, "I was dealing with it and I decided to wait for James and Katie to let us know they were dating," he said.

"You couldn't wait," Katie asked.

"No I figured now was better than later," Kendall said, "at least everything's out in the open now," he said.

"I just realized I am the only single person in this room," Carlos said.

"Aw Carlos you'll find someone," I said walking over to him. I sat down next to him, "There is someone out there for you," I said.

"Yeah but the only person I want right now is probably straight and if he is even the slightest bit bi curious he has legions of fan that would kill me for dating their idol," he said.

"Never count yourself out," Kendall said walking over and sitting down next to me. "Yeah, who knows maybe you could get him," he said.

"Don't go getting his hopes up," James said walking over and sitting down on Carlos' other side.

"I'm not but I never thought Logan would like me back, but I took a leap and he was there," he said looking at me.

"Your so corny," I said looking at him.

"You love it," Kendall said laughing.

"Unfortunately," I said grinning as I leaned into to kiss him. I pressed my lips to his and Kendall quickly brought his hand up to my neck to hold me in place.

"Really guys?" Carlos asked. We broke apart blushing.

"Sorry," I muttered not looking at Carlos. He was having problems about not finding someone to love and Kendall and I were kind of flaunting our relationship in his face.

"How about we watch a movie," James suggested, "make it a movie night with no couple stuff," he said looking at me and Kendall. We both nodded.

"Same goes for you and Katie," Kendall said. James and Katie both nodded their head. James jumped up from the couch and started to go through our movie collection. Katie and Kendall went to get some snacks. Carlos and I retrieved blankets from our rooms and everyone returned several minutes later. Kendall and I shared a blanket and snuggled together on the couch.

We spent the rest of the night just laughing and watching movies. We all eventually fell asleep on the couch.

So there you go, this is the sequel to Differences. I really liked how this turned out. I hope you like it too. I have so many plans for it.

Always
