Rhythm Of The Night [Bastille]

Dan POV

The next few days were spent on the beach, relaxing with the band and talking about returning to London. We would have time to record, spend the holidays with the family then go back on the road. Our flight was today and Kara had arranged a private plane because she was annoyed by long flights being stuck in cramped seats with a bunch of creeps. Kyle had also proposed to Charlotte, who was off the wall with excitement. Kara was a bit more relaxed, but it seemed she still had something on her mind. We spent our final day packing and loading it into the two cars before heading to the airport.

"Just pull through the gate and up to that plane. The pilot will check us in love." Kara smiled at me as I drove and did as directed. The weather was unbearably hot on the black top surface as we boarded the large private aircraft. The inside was furnished with leather sofas, a small kitchen area, which led into the bedroom area. Six bunks reminded me of being on the bus, but it was cozy. Of course there was a large bathroom at the back with a shower and loo.

"This plane is beautiful Kara!" Will grinned like a child as he roamed around the plane before claiming one of the beds. Kara and I shared a bed of course as did Charlotte and Kyle. After setting our bags near our bunks we headed to the living area and flipped on the TV. Woody and Will sat down to play cards, while I of course put on an old episode of Twin Peaks that I could get on Netflix.

"Ah fuck paper cut." Woody huffed as he held up his bleeding thumb before heading off to the bathroom. Blood. It smelled so good and I hadn't realized my need to feed was so bad till I smelled it. Kara came into the living room holding a tray of filled glasses. Four glasses of blood and two glasses of water.

"How did you know?" I mumbles before smiling at her, kissing her cheek as I took my glass and drank it swiftly.

"I could see it in your eyes. You have good control though. As a new born I was quite the little monster." She laughed softly, giving my hand a squeeze before she downed the glass of crimson liquid.

"I think when we visit my parents it's gonna be harder cause well...where will we keep the blood? They'll want us to stay." I hadn't thought about her meeting my parents, but now that we were engaged, the time was coming. As was Christmas and all the other holidays my family participated in and over celebrated. She sighed softly, thinking for a moment.

"I'll think of a plan my love don't worry...are you going to tell them one day?" She gently squeezed my hand as I began to think. Whether to turn Will and Woody was also another thing on my mind.

"I don't know yet Kara...we have time to think." I pressed a kiss to her cheek before resting my head on her shoulder and resting my eyes, listening to twin peaks and the heart beats on the plane. Woody poked my shoulder before sitting beside me. "What's up man?"

"I heard you talking about..turning us...have you decided? You know Will and I want to do it Dan."

"I know and we'll figure out a way one day, but without getting Kara hurt again. I have no idea how to do that Woody." He nodded as I spoke, not lifting my head from Kara's shoulder.

"I have a few ideas...Maybe stealing some other vampire blood could be an option. Franco's..." She mumbled his name for only me to hear.

"Too dangerous" I said in a whisper back before sitting up and rubbing my face. " That is an option Woody...or we could find another way if possible. Its not like you're going gray yet" I smirked nudging him before laying down with my head in Kara's lap and groaning. "I'm exhausted so lets just all relax and get some shut eye before we get to London." Woody nodded before getting up and heading to the bunks. Kyle and Charlotte were already retired for the flight.

"It will all work out Daniel Smith. I promise you" She smiled, running her fingers through my hair, making me moan softly with my eyes shut. "Lets get to sleep" She made me sit up, my eyes opening and my pout showing. I stood up and picked her up making her giggle. We both changed once I sat her down on the bunk then we climbed in together.

"I love you future Mrs. Smith" I mumbled into her hair as I closed my eyes and wrapped my arm around her, pulling her back to my chest.

"I love you too Dan" She whispered before falling asleep with me. This was perfect. For now.
