charter 1 'Hello Mr. Kidnapper. Lets make a deal'

Arhine's P.O.V

Something has happened to my hands, I can’t move them and every time that I do they burn with pain. My feet are motionless, I can’t see exactly where I am, my eyes have been covered but I can hear footsteps coming closer and closer, I try to scream for help but my mouth has been gagged, I scream for help but all that come out is “eeeelp, eeeelp” the footsteps are getting closer and closer and close…. Someone has taken my blindfolds off, I can’t see clearly at first but my sight starts to become sharper and more alert. Oh whoever is responsible for this will pay dearly.                      

“Hello” says a deep husky voice from the right, thank god I can move my head, it’s a guy and he’s smirking right at me, what the hell is he smirking at? I narrow my eyes at him, big mistakes because he starts to grin, OMG he looks soo hot, wait did I just say that? I must have wacked my head hard from that fall to be thinking that about a guy.                                                                        

“Untie me” my voice was slightly muffled but that didn’t stop me from keeping my eyes narrowed.   He moves but it’s too dark for me to see where, someone is ungagging me and the lights have been switched on so now I can see my captors features; he looks close to my age but you can never be so sure with his kind, jet black hair, short but scruffy and dangerous looking, a black t-shirt that shows his muscles, black jacket, black boots man this guy must be in love with the colour black! Hey he must be an Emo or Goth, he’s got a tattoo on his neck but from where I am I can’t see very properly and he has an earring of a, oh shit! It’s a stake.My eyes widen, not with fear but with surprise and I have to give it him because no one has ever been able to get me until today, I frown with disgust,                                                                                                          

“Who are you?” I am such an idiot! I already know who he works for so guessing who he is shouldn’t be so hard, should it?                                                                                                              

“What do you want?” I ask, smartass me just can’t keep her gob shut.                                         My eyes are watching his every move, he comes closer, right up until he has to look down at me, I am not short but I now know how those kind of people feel, he bends so we’re face to face and he is looking at me with those intensely hot green eyes(shut up Arhine) of his.            

He unties my feet, I know that he is armed not just from the fact that you can see his dagger on full display for me to take, even if my arms are tied together I have a few tricks up my sleeve, but because his kind won’t go near my kind unarmed.                                                                  

“You must be either stupid or careless for not realising that your dagger if practically on display for me to take” I say raising an eye brow at him, he looks up at me, for a second I thought I saw surprise flash across his face but was replaced with a emotionless face, before I know it he’s hidden his dagger. He is still looking at me but now with a weird look on his face “But I would rather go with stupid” I grin, he smiles that lazy boyish smile.                                                                

“So Mr. Kidnapper, lets make a deal. You tell me your name and I'll tell you mine''I ask daring myself to look into those eyes

"Mr. Kidnapper?" He asks raising an eyebrow

i shrug "Well if you count being locked up and tied as kidnapping then yes i have a right t-"                                               “Xander”  

"Huh?" I ask confused

"My names Xander" he says amused                                                                                             “Come on, Xander must not only be your only name? Because if it is then that’s just plain weird no offence and I have met many people like that”                                                                        

“Xander Erubus Blake”                                                                       

“Your w… what the Blake?” I stutter with wide eyes, I swear I hate it when that happens.              

“Erubus”                                                                                               “As in….” I say afraid to finish off my sentence. Yeah! I am afraid of something but it is actually worth being afraid of, I am not like those girls who freak out when they can’t find the shade of nail polish that goes with their outfits’ geez I hate it when humans do that.                                      

“Yeah” he finishes my sentence for me and for once I am feeling grateful to him. “Now since I told you my name and we made a deal I think that it would only be fair if I knew yours” he says smirking, I swear to god, I wish that I could wipe that smirk off his face ughh!!!                                                      

“Only if you untie me I will”                                                                                                

“Why should I?” he asks                                                                                                      

“Because” I  say putting my face inches away from his “if you don’t then I will do something that will jeopardize the safety of every single person in this building” he looks at me with curiosity. “Yeah, I know that there are more people here and involved in this, hell, I bet that bitch of a demon queen Azmodea paid you to kidnap me and give in to what she wants.”                          

“You’re bluffing and who the heck is Azmodea?” he says, I narrow my eyes at him with a slight hint of red.      

“Does it look like I’m bluffing? Plus I don’t hurt people unless I am provoked to do so and as for who Azmodea is well time will only tell” I say with a bit of anger in my last few words. My face is still really close to his, again! Neither of us look away, He is studying my face and I of his. He hesitates but eventually gives in and unties my hands. I know that he doesn’t trust me yet because he has a tight grip on me which is holding me down onto the chair, as if I am gonna do a runner!  

“Now I think we had a deal, so now tell me your name”                                                

“Arhine”

chapter 2 'Great they're demons.... wanna add anything else to 'my life sucks?'

Xander's P.O.V

“Arhine” I raised an eye brow                                                                                                          

“Arhine Isabé De La Vincent” she replies automatically to me in a lazy tone it was as if she doesn’t give a damn about who she was. I always have been curious to meet the famous Vincent family’s precious little hunter.    

"I am not little but it seems to me that you know my family and that I am a hunter, why so or should I say how?” she says it in a calm tone but underneath all of that I can sense the threat, I take my time to think of something to say so I just examine her, she is not what they say about her; Arhine De La Vincent MUST BE AVOIDED at all costs because she is the devil in a female human's form, they describe her as this monster who will kill you without a flinching but couldn’t be more wrong because she does not look like a monster but a normal teenage girl with dark cherry auburn hair straight and long but not too long, creamy skin with freckles, storm grey eyes and much as I would have preferred to die then admit that they were right about one thing; she had an small tear shaped tattoo at the bottom of her left eye, she is wearing black shorts with braces, a long t-shirt that say "i'm unique, what are you?'', she has a pendent chocker on but i can't see exavtly what the shape of the pendent is-                                                                    

I realise that I am still holding onto her and she is giving me funny look because of it, man I can’t remember when was the last time that someone made me feel like an idiot before, oh yeah how could I forget my twin brother Xavier, he doesn’t look like me because I have the looks and skills while he has, well I didn’t really bother to play with him while growing up, I was more interested in learning how to fight, self-defence and how to use weapons but other than that we both do share the same eye colour and the birthmark on the side of our necks. I let go of her and jump to my feet and look away not thinking twice before doing so.                          

“Sorry” I mumble so quite that even a mouse wouldn’t be able to hear me but clearly she did….

“About what?” she asks smirking at me, I don’t know what she’s smirking at until I remember that I untied her and now she has a chance to escape, no way is that happening on my watch missy. But before I make a single step towards her, its like she can sense what I am going to do because her smirk fades away and she knocks me to the floor and is on top of me, I try to shrug her off but she is much heavier then she first seemed to be.                                            

“Shut up and don’t make a sound” she says not so nicely, it was like she was trying to say 'do what I say and I’ll let you live’ sort of thing.                                                                                                                

“Why?” I ask still struggling                                                                                                                

“That is none of your concern”                                                                                                            

“Well hell, smack my ass and call me a baby'' I growl "This is my concern because maybe you are forgetting that you are currently in a building that hunts and kills your kind for a living” I finally snap at her because she is doing my head in, she turns her face to look at me and I can see a hint of crimson in her eyes, shit did I piss her off cause if I did then it is her fault not mine. Her next few words shut me up                                              

“It is not my fault nor your fault that I am getting pissed off, its because of the atmosphere doesn’t feel right around here, so do me a favour and shut the hell up vos plennus humana (Stupid human)” she practically sneered it at me and I could feel the poison in her words bite me.                                                                                            

She is looking right at me, right into my eyes and she was so close to me that I literally could feel the warmth radiating off of her. She moves her face and her hair falls into mine, what that works like a charm on every single girl I have ever known. I shrug her off for the last time and this time is doesn’t seem so difficult because she seems pretty light now, maybe she just has a really good grip, I jump to my feet but she hasn’t moved at all, still lying on the floor, face towards the ceiling                                                                

“Sorry” she says “I shouldn’t have done that” not quite looking at me                                                        

“What do you mean?” I ask looking down at her                                                                                      

“Nothing, I…I just need to get out of here” she stutters her reply finally getting up and standing in front of me.  

“Nothing it may be but I will soon find out and you are not going anywhere” I say with a slight hint of stubbiness, why did I have to be here when I could have been out on a mission or something but no I get chosen for this!                                                                                                                              

“We shall see about that” she says grinning. She takes one step forward and I take one step back, that’s what they do before they strike, she takes another step forward and I take another one back, forward, back, forward, back up until I feel the cold wall touch my back. She touches my check ever so lightly like she is afraid to hurts me and says “Touché, I hope we meet again my dear chasseur (Hunter)” and then she was gone…

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

I’m still shocked even when I hear Xavier’s and my father’s voice come towards me. Out of nowhere someone smacks my back, which practically makes me jump and Xavier starts to laugh like the hyena that he is, I punch him in the arm and not in the playful way at all.                                                                              

 “Ow, that hurts” he says while rubbing his arm                                                                                      

“Serves you right for scaring the crap out of me, you dick” I say, my anger radiating off of me in waves.          

“Now boys will you two just shut up” my father says sternly, obviously why wouldn’t he, his son the Xander Erubus Blake, the best hunter there is, has just let their enemy get away. “I would like to speak to Xander alone” Xavier said something in protest but from the stern look from our father he walks out of the door without another word, I smirk at his back while he walks out. "You let her go didn’t you?” dad says looking at me but he doesn’t sound at all angry.    

 “Yes father and I am deeply sorry for it” I say trying to pull off a puppy dog face but I comes out all wrong so I hang my head in shame but my father’s next few words surprise me                                                            

“You don’t need to be sorry” my father laughs like an actual human would, I haven’t heard him laugh in nearly four years, after mom died by a couple of rouge vampires, he just wasn’t the same.

“But she got away” I say every word with disgust                                                                                        

“Well, like I just said its fine” I stare at him in utter astonishment but clearly he hadn’t finished ”What I mean to say is that she was unconscious I had told Mitchel to put a tracking device so that we could see where her coven is” I didn’t know who he was talking about then I realised the was talking about Arhine.                                                                                                                                                                        

“Um….Okay” I say trying to take this all in.                                                                                            

“And I am putting you on a new assignment” now this was my kind of thing, I cracked my knuckles Eager to find out.                                                                                                                                         

“About what?” I ask as I take a cup of coffee from Cincia                                                                          

“About all those girls who have gone missing, I’m sure you have heard about this, oui (Yes)?” who hasn’t its been on the news for the past 3 weeks and dad thinks that the Vincent family have something to do with it because each of these girls had some sort of connection with the Vincent family and the older girls knew the hunter from their family,Arhine.

“Yes, but I thought Vicky and her team were on it?” I say, my voice filled with confusion                              

“Noir, Alex, Vicky and Charlie are the only ones who made it back and they are in the hospital recovering”      

“So you want me and my team to finish off this case” I say, already knowing the answer

“Yes and you will be taking Xavier with you” What!! I have to take MR.Tweedle Dumb with me! Oh great can things get any better? But all I said was

“Yes father”

 “Oh yes, I almost forgot, you will also be in charge of looking out for that girl” seriously he really needs to emphasize the word girl? “Because I think where she is thought to be from has mainly been targeted for the kidnaps” I role my eyes

“What has she got to do with this case” I ask even though I couldn’t care less

"She has everything to do with this case”                                                                                              

“Which is what exactly?” I ask getting slightly pissed at him for trying to test my patience                          

"You will find out sooner or later but for now this is nothing for you to concern yourself with”                  

“Yeah right its not my concern” I mutter to myself, I walked towards the door when….                              

“Xander” my father beckoned me back. I turned around for him to tell me….                                              

“As a part of this case and since you will be leading it as well as your team, you will need to join the local school from where most of the girls went to if I can remember the name, ah its called Stoneville High School, you need to gather enough information about them so we have enough evidence against the Vincent family” he says then dismisses me before I can even protest. I leave my coffee there because it doesn’t taste like coffee no more, more like puke.                                                                                                                        

Seriously I have to start a new school just because of some damn missing girls report. I already hate school enough so thinking about another would be too much.                                                                          

I didn’t realise that I was out of the building when I felt autumn’s cool breeze touched my face and neck revealing my birthmark., it was the shape of hells fire wrapped around an angels sword thats what mom would tell me when i was little.. I was walking towards my car, that’s when I say it running, I couldn’t see what it was at first but as that thing got closer and closer, my hand hovered over the gun that I keep with me, that thing was running towards me but not for me because it was running away from something, I wouldn’t have noticed if it wasn’t for that knife she had dodged which found its way to my arm, damn that kills, What even supernatural beings can feel pain yah know! I can’t believe it it’s that girl, Arhine! She was saying something, was she calling for help? I watched her as she was running towards me and behind her I could see why she was running away and jeez I don’t blame her! They are soo ugly they look like they bathe in ash, black slits as eyes, tongues that looked like a snakes and it even flicking in and out like one, they are all wearing black, they have cuts and bruises and each one of them are carrying a weapon.                                                            

Arhine was only 10 feet away from me when I could actually hear what she was saying                                

“Run, you vos plennus humana (Stupid human)” hey that hurt “Run, Run back to your kind otherwise you will be getting some nightmares that even mommy and daddy can’t scare away” okay she just hit a nerve. Instead of running away, I ran towards her when out of nowhere when one of those things got in between the two of us but before I knew it Arhine pounced onto it and decapitated it. There was another one coming so I did what I could do, got out my gun and shot at it until it burst into flames. Somehow Arhine killed half of those creature and was standing next to me.                                                                                                                      

“Great just what I needed! Damn you daemons” she mutters to herself.                                                      

“Great they’re demons, just want to add anything to my list of ‘my life sucks’” I muttered to myself while staring at one of them but for some reason Arhine was just staring at me like I was a piece of artwork she didn’t know how to decipher. The last remaining demon jumped at her but couldn’t see properly but she kicked it square in the heart and while it flung away she threw fireball at it and it burst into flames and disintegrated.  

chapter 3 'You do know that 'Outhouse' means toilet...Right?'

I was still throwing fire balls into thin air when I felt someone touch my arm and lower it                      

"Let me go" I cried breathlessly, struggling to get out of its powerful grip                                                  

"Fine but not until you stop attacking thin air, you idiot" it said, I turned my head to look into the eyes of a green eyed god! My face was inches away from its own when reality found its way back to me. I wasn't looking into the eyes of a green eyed god but Xander Cassopian Blake, my enemy. I took one step back, then another and another and another, I only stopped when I thought I was at a safe distance.                                    

"Arhine, why on earth are you still here?" he asked                                                                                  

"What I do and do not do is nothing you should be concerning yourself with" telling myself to mentally calm down and taking slow deep breaths.                                                                                                      

"You're bleeding, Arhine, so maybe I shouldn't give a damn because you're my enemy but I do, so live with it" he says. I look down to see my arm and thigh covered in blood.                                                              

"Shit" I mutter, I don't even realize that Xander is standing next to me until someone lifts my wounded arm. "Ouch" I cry, snatching my arm away from his grip, he raises an eye brow at me                                    

"Since when do vampires feel pain? He asks, amused                                                                              

"Since when do hunters help their victims" I spit back                                                                              

"You are not the victim here" he says, moving his arm so can the scene of the fight, there is black ashed grass from where the demons had disintegrated and one of them must have drop their dagger because there is one just a few feet away from where I am standing. I leave Xander and walk over to get it, I have to bite back the urge to scream as I bend down to retrieve it, not caring that I feel light headed from the loss of blood, I should have healed by now may its because I haven't performed the sanguinem caermonia in a while but it seems to me that Xander does care because he is at my side with a look of utter concern planted on his face.              

"Come on, I am taking you to get those wounds checked on'' he says as he leads me to his car                    

"No, I'll be fine'' I say in protest but he won't listen                                                                                

"Hang on, I need to grab something quick" he heads back into the building. I could have left now if I was only able to, the loss of blood has made it difficult to stand without swaying, I hold onto the hood of the car for support. He comes back with four white towels, he opened the passenger door and placed one of the towel onto the seat and the other three onto the dashboard.                                                                            

"Give me your hand so I can help you into the car" he says reaching for my uninjured arm, I hesitate but give him my hand in the end. He takes the towels off the dashboard and wipes the blood off of my arm and the wraps a clean one around it, he gives me the last towel and tells me to put pressure onto my leg. Out of nowhere he has a trash bag and dumps the bloody towels in it he was just about to turn around when....      

"Wait" I call him back, he stops staring at me                                                                                      

"What's wrong?" he asks with concern in his voice                                                                                

"Don't throw that towel away cuz it's got my blood on it'' I say in panic                                                      

"I know, that's why I am going to throw it away" he says now with annoyance in his voice                         

 "I know that but you can't throw that away cuz it's got my blood on it'' I say but know with annoyance in my voice as well                                                                                                                                  

"Why?" he asks                                                                                                                            

"Because you need to burn it'' I say trying to keep my explanation short                                                    

"Again, why?" he asks, with more annoyance in his voice                                                                        

"Cuz like I said its got my blood on it, so you need to burn it otherwise those things will come back and take those towels so they can separate my blood and use it against my people'' I clamp my mouth shut with, my uninjured arm, after I realized what I had just said.                                                                                    

"Okaaay'' he says really slowly "I'll go and get a lighter then'' he turns around but I call him back, again.          

"You don't need a lighter, just drop the bag and move away from it'' clearly he knows what I am about to do because he does just that. "Thanks" I say turning my body to get a good angle, I wince from

the pain as it shoots through me. My hand is faced palm up so the fire ball comes slowly but big enough to throw with, I watch the bag burn and am still watching when Xander spoke to me from the other side of the car                   "You might wanna close that door if you don't want to fall out while I'm driving'' I manage to lift my hand but it ends up going limp soon after so Xander bends over so his body hovers over my lap and closes the door, his body feels soo warm, wait did i just? shit Arhine stop thinking like that!  

We drive in silence for 10 minutes when....                                                                                  

"Why are you helping me, Chasseur? (Hunter)'' I ask, he answers me without taking his eyes of the road                    

"Why shouldn't I?''                                                                                                                              

"Wellll.... apart from the fact that both of us are hunters as well as enemies here, nothing else crosses my mind no seriously, why help? Why me?'' I answer back. He doesn't answer me back but I can see that he is trying to bite back a smile, eventually the silence starts to get uncomfortable so I end up fiddling with the towels since my wounds have dried I can take them off.                                                                                          

"Ouch'' I say wincing as I try to move my left arm. "Great, just great'' I mutter "Is there anything else that you would like to add to my list of pains?'' I forgot where I was until I felt an uncomfortable feeling of a pair of eyes staring at me, I turn my head to see Xander looking at me.                                                                      

"W...w...what?'' I ask clenching my teeth, praying that they would stop clattering, man its soo cold in here      

"Nothing'' he replies smiling to himself and as if he senses my shivers, he turns on the heater.                        

 "Thanks'' I say as politely as I could                                                                                                    

"No problem'' he says with a touch of amusement                                                                                    

"Can I ask you a quick question?''                                                                                                        

"Sure''                                                                                                                                                

"What the hell is your problem because when you talk or see me I always find you smirking or amused''          

"Oh, nothing'' he says, perfectly calm                                                                                                

"No, seriously what is your problem?''                                                                                            

"Nothing" he repeats, this time looking at me and smirking!                                                                        

"And why did you help me, when you should have killed me?'' I sigh, not that I want to die but death is like my shadow because where I go it follows                                                                                                    

"And why are you asking me soo many questions, you know there is a difference between a quick question and a bunch of questions" he says, raising an eye brow                                                                                  

"Great, I am tired, hungry, dirty, stinky and have broken everything that I said I wouldn't" I mutter to myself and all of a sudden I hear the passenger door open which make me jump, nearly pissing my pants                        

"Ouch'' that kills                                                                                                                                

"Sorry'' he says as he reaches to take my hand but I am out the car before he can help                                  

"Where are we?'' I ask                                                                                                                      

"My home'' he says                                                                                                                      

  "You live in a mansion?''                                                                                                              

"No, I live in an outhouse''                                                                                                              

"Soo, a mansion then?'' I say, looking at him                                                                                  

 "No, it's an outhouse''                                                                                                                        

"mansion''                                                                                                                                    

"Outhouse''                                                                                                                              

"mansion''                                                                                                                                       

"Outhouse''                                                                                                                                        

"Oh, yeah whatever it's an outhouse, now shut up!'' I say laughing at him, making air quotes around the word outhouse. He looks at me and grins and my laughter get even worse but eventually it dies down.                

"Why are you laughing at me?"                                                                                                              

"Cuz outhouse means a toilet"                                                                                                            

So smooth, Soo Smooth, Xander thought                                                                                          

"Why did you bring me here?'' I ask                                                                                                  

"Cuz you need medical attention'' he replies                                                                                          

"Why didn't you just take me to a hospital or doctor?'' I ask but i thank god silently that he didn't, wha? am i falling for this guy? Hell to the No!                                                                     

"Cuz I don't want to go through the trouble of explaining how you hurt yourself and they might call the police and I couldn't take the risk''                                                                                                                

"I could have went alone, ya know, you could have dropped me round the corner and I would have went in without any problem'' well maybe a little I thought                                                                                

 "I couldn't have let you go by yourself, I might hate your kind and kill them for a living but I wouldn't stoop that low'' hey says "Plus, as much as I would hate my egoistic brother, he knows a lot about medicines and wounds''                

 "He's egoistic?'' I mutter, glad that he can't hear                                                                              

"Who's your brother? And is he hot?'' I ask flirty                                                                                    

"Xavier and no he is not hot, unless you count a fat hippo's butt as hot'' he leads me to the front door and unlocks it.                                                                    

"Whoa'' I say "You live here?''                                                                                                              

"No, my brother lives with me'' he says                                                                                                    

"Oh, now, now I can't trust you at all when you say he is not hot cuz I've heard about you and I know that you have a sister who is a few years younger than you are and a twin brother, so no, I for one ,do not believe you'' Xander leans on the door frame and faces me with a big grin on his face, that scares the hell out of me            

"A twin looks much like you do and if you don't believe me when I say that Xavier isn't hot then shouldn't that mean that you think that I am hot?!'' he says, on the verge of laughing. I felt my cheeks flush but I kept my head high and I narrowed my eyes.                                                                                                        

"I haven't even seen him to judge him and if you always think like this then I feel sorry for your girlfriend, if you have one, I bet you say that to every girl 'I bet you think I'm hot' and no I don't think your hot'' I say              

He seems to have lost some of his earlier confidence cuz he walks into another room which I presume that I have to follow, I look around myself to see a large mahogany table and someone sitting at it on using a laptop   "Hey Xav'' Xander shouts, the figure turns around and I can see that there is a resemblance between the two he has; jet black hair scruffy and dangerous looking but his is only shoulder length tied back into an manly ponytail, Navy blue chinos with braces, a white shirt that hugs his body and I can see his muscles, black boots, eyes the same as Xander's, he has some kind of mark on his neck (maybe it's a tattoo) and has a stud in his ear. "He's your brother'' I say gaping at him "But you said that he's not hot and you said that he looks like a hippo's butt''                                                                                                                                                

"And you said that you didn't believe me, saying that you would make your own judgment and trust me I am way more hotter than he is'' he says looking at me through the corner of his eye and grins.                        

"Hey Xavier, I like your outhouse'' Xavier's eye brows furrow with confusion                                                

"You do know that outhouse means toilet?'' he said                                                                              

"Hah!, I told you outhouse meant toilet" I fail to hit him in the stomach and end up hurting myself "Ouch''      

"You know that you need to stop hurting yourself'' he says as he pulls out a chair and helps me sit "Xav can you take a look at her cuz I don't know if they are bad or not'' WOW his brother moves fast because he is at my side in an instant. My eyes feel heavy, I hear Xavier asking me if I am feeling okay, then I feel someone pick me up and carry me I don't know where because I am falling, falling to somewhere I shouldn't but I don't have a choice, I have left my body and know my mind is taking over....

chapter 4 'The cursed one'

Arhine's P.O.V

My eyes were closed but I knew exactly where I was, I was in Xander’s soo called ‘outhouse’ and there are two male voices which must belong to Xander and his brother Xavier.                                                    

“Why did you bring her here?’’                                                                                                              

“What other choice did I have? I couldn’t take her back into the building where everybody would like to kill her, could I?                                                                                                                              

“True but you should have thought before bringing her here because….                                                        

I couldn’t hear the rest because my instincts were telling me to get the hell away from the two of them as quickly. I tried to sit up but failed instead I opened my eyes to find four pair of green eyes staring at me. I managed to sit upright and get into a defensive position feeling a little self-conscious I asked                      

“W... what are you two staring at?’’                                                                                                      

“How are you feeling’’ Xavier asked                                                                                                        

“What, except feeling like I was run over by a truck and being stared at by two green eyed freaks, I feel ecstatic’’ I reply sarcastically which makes Xavier raise an eye brow                                                      

“Now, now there is no need to be rude’’ he chuckles waving his index finger at me                                            

“better move that hand of your out of my face or you won’t even have a hand at all’’ I threaten, he just sighs and moves towards but keeps his distance. Smart boy.                                                                            

“We are not going to hurt you’’ for some reason I feel like there is a ‘yet’ at the end of that sentence          

“Well you be careful around me because I bite’’ I say baring my fangs at him                                                

“You could try just that but maybe you should know that you will go down instantly and will not even be able to even scratch me with those things that people would mistake as teeth’’ he says while shaking his head at the last part                                                                                                                                            

“Why ever not?’’ I laugh mirthlessly “I sincerely hope you will not say’ because we are fully armed with holy water, wooden stakes, garlic, blah, blah, blah’ cuz that’s just cliché and besides that crap won’t even hurt me let alone kill me’’ I say grinning, fully fanged.                                                                                        

“Why won’t it work?’’ he asks while walking towards me and this time cautiously                                          

I shrug “Just cuz it won’t’’ I say as if it doesn’t really mean anything                                                        

“But why exactly?’’ he asks                                                                                                            

“You seriously wanna know?’’ I ask bored                                                                                            

“No but I wouldn’t hurt to know’’ he replies                                                                                          

“True’’ I say “All that shit won’t work on me because I am nothing like the things you have been taught in those hunting guides and half of what has been written about me is a lie’’ I say with distain in my voice making it clear of what i think about their people                    

Both me and Xavier were startled when Xander had finally found the time to talk and I mean the wrong time. “What do you mean? Are you trying to say that what we were taught was absolute bull?’’ I decide carefully on what to say next.                                                                                                                                

“I don’t know exactly what has been written about me other than me being a huge threat to humans and besides if I was a threat to humans then why are you two still alive since the both of you are actually humans correct me if I am wrong’’ I say, “So do tell me, what has been written about me’’                                  

“Why should we tell you?’’ Xander asks                                                                                                  

I shrug “Fair enough, then my lips are sealed’’ and to prove my point I zip my lips shut and throw away the invisible key                                                                                                                                        

Xander sighs which makes me smirk “Fine but if we tell you, the your gonna have to tell us why our weapons won’t work on you. Deal?’’                                                                                                            

“Sure, whatever’’ I say, shrugging my shoulder slightly trying to show that I couldn’t care less                  

“Okay then’’ Xander looks at Xavier and grins “My dear brother here will tell you’’                                          

“Bastard’’ Xavier mutters. I manage to stop myself from laughing and bite back an agreement, when Xavier spoke again he sounded as if he was saying all this against his will                                                                    

“It is said that Arhine Isabé De La Vincent is a dhamphir vampire, who when first changed on her fifteenth birthday she brutally drank the blood of humans and the number is yet to be discovered. It says that she is a threat to human which makes her a threat to us and if we are to ever come across her she is needed to be killed in 60 seconds because if the hunter tires then it is his doom that he has called for or he could follow her and call backup for help.’’ He stops short seeing my shocked expression he asks “Are you okay?’’                            

“That is all a load of bullshit’’ I Stand up and start to pace around the room, not being able to keep still                                                              

“I think it’s your turn to tell us something’’ he says. I turn to look at him, I realise that my fangs are still bared because Xavier is gawking at them so I retract them.                                                                                  

“It depend on what you want me to tell you, the reason your weapons won’t work on me or about why what you have been taught is wrong’’ I say hoping they wouldn’t want to know but unluckily they do                    

“I think we both want to know why what we have been taught is wrong’’ Xander replies                                

I sigh and take in a deep breath “ Some of the facts you have been taught is right but not all of it’’ seeing their confused looks I added “Yes my name is Arhine Isabé De La Vincent and I do have vampire blood in me but that’s just a part of what I am. I am actually the angel of sacrifice Ambrosé who fell at the same time when Lucifer fell down to Earth but I chose to protect your humans not destroy them. All you humans must have heard the great battle of the angels where Lucifer was banished and condemned to hell for eternity, right? Anyway before that battle I had a bond mate called Rowan he was the angel of choices he and I were meant for each other after the fall but I fell in love will another fallen Araquél, now he is thought to be the demon prince for the 2nd level of hell, he also had a bond mate called Azram who was killed in the war by Rowan and out of jealousy and revenge Araquél killed him, so my love for him turned into hate and I swore that I would never forgive him.

''Wait I don't understand'' Xander states but I just ignore him and carry on

''There was also another fallen called Azamodea who loved him, now she also is considered to be a demon queen in hell. My kind, we reincarnate every 200 years in different families all who have the same blood and yes we are born as vampires and yes we do change on our fifteenth birthday. During my first cycle my father was a human so I have human blood as well as demon blood and I was in my mother’s womb when Azamodea ordered one of her demons to kill us, my mother managed to defend herself and me but the demon mixed some of his blood with my mothers, since my mother was carrying me that blood went straight into me and after I was born and changed on my fifteenth, the demonic blood started to take over and I lost control of myself and brutally drank the blood of many hundreds innocent hundred humans, that is where you got the information from but It was slightly twisted, since I was the first and only one it had happened to it was hard to gain control without help but I did eventually and since I had three different types of blood running through my veins, it made me more powerful than the whole of my kind and the lower level demons feared, on my nineteenth Araquél visited me asking me to give him another chance but little did I know that he was trying to get me to go over to the dark side, the side where evil roams and that he was working with Azamodea. When I turned him down saying that not even my dead body would ever pick evil, Azamodea took the opportunity to say “bonum vel malum eligere licet, tibi maledicam nono eiusdem eligere bonum quod morte morieris tu mavis male vivunt. Domandi iuramenti huius duplex est: aut proelio dimicare acie sanguinis vel optionem, si non mecum morieris miliens’’                          

 “Wait what does all that even mean?’’ I forgot that there were others with me to, which made me scream and fall on my butt, dammit what is wrong with me?!                                                                                    

“You moron, you made me hurt my butt’’ I say, anger building up, Xander is really getting on my nerves. Xavier helps me to my feet “Thanks’’                                                                                                            

“No problem and Xander does have a point what does all of that mean cuz I am one hundred percent sure that what you just said isn’t even English’’ Xavier said                                                                                  

“Yeah thanks Einstien, it’s not English, it’s Latin’’                                                                                                         

“So what does it mean?’’ Xander asks                                                                                                    

I hesitate not wanting to tell them, I sigh ''Its a cur-'' I look at the wall where the clock now reads 12:00. I jump to my feet startling Xavier and Xandar. ''Shit'' I mutter.

''What's wrong?'' I hear Xavier ask

I quickly look for a possible escape unit and found one, the window! ''I'd love to stay and chat boys but its getting kind of late and you see my brother dearest will get worried so CIAO'' I say while running towards the the window and leaping out of it. I run towards the house entrance then atop and turn around; Xander and Xavier are both staring at me. I wave at them.

''What are you doing?!'' I hear Xander shout

''Thanks for everything but I have to go but untill we meet again'' I wave one last time and run not looking back.            

Chapter 5 'Make yourself at home'

Arhine's P.O.V

When I got home, I went round the back of my house and climbed the tree that was close to my balcony, so that I wouldn't get caught by my parents. Opened my balcony door and went towards my bathroom.

I turned the shower on and stripped off my clothes before walking under the warm sprinkles of water. I wrap a towel around myself and exit my bathroom, I walk into my closet and put on my black bra and pants with white poker dots, I pick out a loose top and short, shorts and dive straight into my bed.

                                                                    #~~~~#

''WAKE UP'' I pull the covers closer, and try to locate my alarm clock with my hands. ''I SWEAR TO GOD, ARHINE ISABE DE LA VINSANT IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP RIGHT NOW THEN GOD FORBIDE ME I WILL DO SOMETHING I'LL REGRET''

''Get lost, Susie'' I hear her huff then all of a sudden my blanket if torn away from me. My body instantly shoots up and looks for any intruders but then I hear laughter from my right and I glare at Susie. ''What is your problem! I want to sleep, give meh back my blanket'' I whine like a 5 year old.

Susie's real name is Susan but we call her Susie, she has ebony black hair, pale tan complexion, piercing green eyes, a petite frame and is 5''8 compared to my 5''5. Also she is one of my best friends.

''What it’s time to get up and explain where you were exactly'' Oh did I forget to mention, Susie's one of us, aka; not exactly human.

''Give me back my blanket and maybe I'll explain'' I can practically hear the gear moving in her hear as to f she should give me back my blanket or not so I take this opportunity and snatch it out of her grasp.

''Fine, now you have, spill!'' Sigh she's not going to give up is she?

''WellIwaskidnappedbysomestupidhuntersonmywashomebutmanagedtoescape'' I rush out leaving out the part where I had to fight some demons, me being injured or that I went to one of the hunter’s homes.

''What?!'' She screams.

''Hun, I don't repeat things, should of listened the first time'' I smirk lazily at her. ''Sulk all you want babe but I'm going to have a shower and by the time I get out you better be gone'' I playfully threaten her.

I get out of bed and head into bathroom to have a quick shower and brush my teeth. I put some make-up on; eye liner and cherry lip gloss, I hate too much make-up - it makes me feel fake. ''Hmm what should I wear'' I say eyeing my clothes. My eyes land on a pair of beige skinny jeans, cream baggy jumper, and black converse. I wore my Celtic knot pendant on a black choker, small pearl studs and a simple ring with a Garnet/Blue Zircon birthstone in the center- since I was born on the 31st of December at midnight I have two birthstones. Lucky me - note sarcasm, I put my hair into a simple high bun and grab my leather jacket and phone before leaving my room.

I find Susie eating breakfast when I enter the kitchen. ''Please make yourself at home'' I say sarcastically causing her to glare at me.

''Took your time'' I fake hurt.

''It takes time to look this good'' I say twirling slightly.

She snorts. ''Whatever hurry up and eat cause Lilith called in this morning to inform us about a meeting, which by the way is in'' She looks at the clock.'' Thirty minutes'' I make myself a turkey sandwich and grab my car key.

''Coming?'' I ask Susie as she finishes her own sandwich.

''Yeah, hang on let me grab my bag'' She grabs her bag and we head towards my garage, I open the garage door and hop into my black Lamborghini Huracan and speed out of my driveway. ''Are you going to eat that?'' Susie asks I give her the other half of my sandwich; I swear she so much but never gains weight.

We both walk into the guild and meet up with the rest of my team; Lucian, Jerome, Benjamin (but we call him Jack because of his middle name), his twin sister Madeline (but we call her 'Mimi'), Elliot, Bliss and Kieran.

''Hey guys'' I holler out. a chorus of 'hey' and 'hi' came back. ''Anybody know why Lilith called a meeting in?''

''Nope, but I guess we're about to find out'' Lucian replies.

A minute later Lilith shows up any ushers us into the conference room. ''You all must be wondering why I called you in, yes.'' He doesn't wait for our answers and continues. ''You all might not agree with my decisions but I have talked to all of the elders and they thought that it was necessary''

''What are you talking about?'' Jack asks

''Well I'm sure that you all have heard about all those girls disappearing, well we the Elders and I thought that we should make some allies with the neighboring Guilds and we have assigned Arhine's team to work with the hunters son's team''

''Who are they?'' I ask, not wanting to hear the answer.

''You all will find out soon enough but as of now all of you need to know is that some of you will have to attend the local school and dig up some information about the girls and since most of you are familiar with this school already you won't find it very hard to find information also you will all be leaving tomorrow morning for England and I want weekly reports'' With that he dismisses us all.

''Wonder what he's hiding'' I mutter.

We all head home but Me, Susie, Mimi and Bliss head over to my house to chill out. We all head into my room. We all watched a bunch of movies but got bored so we started prank calling people, the funniest part was when Bliss phoned somebody and two people were doing the deed and you could here the noises plus it was on speaker, when Bliss hung up we were all laughing our head off. We all feel asleep pretty much after that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yawn* found this chapter quite boring ;[

Bliss, Jack and Mimi are from the blue blood series by Melissa De La Cruz, everybody should read cause its a really good book ;p

Chapter 6 - 'Make hell for ther teachers'

I wake up and pack. By 10am I'm ready, They girls left to do their own and said that they would meet me at the airport. I already know what school Lilith was on about, my team and I attend that school so us having to do a mission is not bad but the others that will be helping us, I'm not so sure on.  Lilith said that they were already there, and had come a few days ago so I'm curious as to who they are.

Not bothering to get out of my PJ's; grey joggers, a random white top and white converse.I put all my stuff into my car and drive to the airport. It didn't take long to get there, and I find my team. Like me, they look tired, from all our missions, we don't get much sleep but we chose to do this and its all part of the job. We aboard the plane and a few hours later we land. A car was waiting for us when we got out of the airport, It drove us to the school and dropped us off.

'EVERNIGHT ACADAMY'

Written in big cursive writing on the black iron gates that seperaed the school from the outside world.

''I can't believe we have to come back here'' I hear Mimi say.

''Nor can I'' Bliss says.

''Well where else would you want to go? The Bahamas? Hawaii?'' I ask sarcastically. I hear Mimi say  'Bitch' to me, so I turn and face her ''I'm not the one who goes 'woof''' I say before turning around and heading into the school. I sign in and am told that I'd be sharing a room with Susie. Luckily our stuff had been put into our assigned rooms so all I had to do was go to my room.A few minutes later Susie came in.

''Hey roomie'' She says.

''I'm not suprised I'm stuck with you, We've been roommates for four years'' I say. Ever since I had come to Evernight Acadamy, Susie has always been my roommate not that I'm complaining though.

''True, maybe I should ask for a new one, your too old'' She says.

''Hey, since when did you start to hit on little kids?'' I say.

''Please, they couldn't even get this even if they tried'' She rolls her eyes.

''Urgh, I feel dead!'' I groan and flop onto my bed.

''Well, tough Assembly is in thirty minutes so you better be ready before then because your part of the council so you need to be there beforehand.

''Fuck i forgot about that'' I grab my clean school uniform from my draw and put it on after showering really quickly and drying my hair. Crisp white shirt, high waisted black and red checked skirt that ended a little bit after mid-thigh length, black knee high socks with red lace bows at the top, black combat boots, black blazer with the sleeves rolled up a little, a black and red tie. I leave my auburn red hair out and put on eyeliner and mascara to make my storm grey eyes stand out, i put on blood red lipstick to make my pale skin look a little lively, i put concealer over the small teardrop tattoo to keep it hidden. I just put my watch on and pendent on before walking out my room and into the hall. All that only took me 25 minutes. I walk towards the head.

''Miss. De La Vincent, I'm glad you could make it this year'' She says. Due to my family funding this school and my family's position in society, Mrs. Cornell seems to address me formally, no matter how much I hate it.

''This is my last year so I wouldn't plan on leaving'' I fake a smile. After I say that I turn around and find my seat in between Elliot and Kieran at the back of the hall. ''Hey guys'' I say

''Hey, and you didn't forget about the meeting that we need to have later did you?'' Kieran says.

''The one with the people Lilith was on about'' Elliot breaks down what Kieran says.

''I remember'' I said, Lilith had said that once we came back here, we'd have to have a meeting with the others and discuss what we thought might have happened to those girls. Before any of us could even say anything, Mrs. Cornell spoke.

''Welcome everyone, to Evernight Acadamy, I hope that you will enjoy the year to come and meet new people'' She starts off and then talks about stuff that I've heard over and over. I zone out but soon am brought back when she says my name.

''I'd like to call the daughter of the family that has kindly funded this school, Arhine De La Vincent''

''Fuck's sake, I hate having to do this'' I groa quietly as i get up and walk up to the front. Some smell catches my attention, its familiar but I don't have anytime to do anything because I'm already at the speaker. I smile widely. ''Hey guys, most of you know me but for the newbie's I'm Arhine, Like Mrs. Cornell just said My family funded this school as a chance to improve and expand the knowledge of the younger generation, they took this opportunity to give every young person that has come and gone from Evernight Acadamy a chance to succeed in life. I've had to do this speech for some time now, and now at my last year of this school, I know that I'll leave with something.I've made a lot of memories here.... even if it includes causing a teachers head to go on fire, getting billions of detentions, making life tough for teachers. Not sure what else to say but i guess, make the most of your time here in Evernight Acadamy'' I say and then smirk ''And make hell for the teachers'' I wink at them all.

''Thank you, Miss. Vincent, that was quiet an ending'' I can tell that Mrs. Cornell is angry but mergh, not my fault I had to speak the truth.

''No problem'' I smirk. She ends the  assembly and allows us to catch up with friends. I jump off stage and smirk as the Elliot, Kieran, Susie and Jack walk up to me.

''Love the speech'' Kieran says as he swings an arm round my shoulder.

''Thank you, I tried my best'' I say. The same smell from earlier hits me again but this time I'm being pulled towards it instead of away from it.

''The others are already there, so you ready?'' Jack says.

''Sure'' We walk out of the hall and down to the common room, no one is allowed there except for a few, through the common room, we have a seperate room for meetings. We walk into there and like Jack said, they were all there. But the person I wasn't expecting to see again was as well.

Chapter 7 - 'Not a warning but a threat'

''What the hell are you doing here?'' I ask. No, he couldn't be here! Xander Erubus Blake could not, wait should not be here!

''Shouldn't I be asking you the same thing?'' He fires back.

''Maybe you didn't come to the assembly that happened not so long ago, I might as well own this school so I'm bound to go here'' I smirk.

''Do you guys know each other?'' A girl asks, glaring at me. I look her in the eye and raise an eyebrow.

''No'' We both reply.

''Yeah, and we believe you'' Kieran says from behind me.

''You should'' I walk to the front, ignoring all the unwanted eyes staring at me and take a seat in my chair. ''Well, you might as well get comfortable since we're going to be working together from now on'' I say and cross my legs, so that one leg goes over the other.

''The hell we're working with your kind'' Another girl snarls, I smirk.

''Last time I checked, I'd rather stick a stake in my chest then work with yours'' I snarl.

''How can we be sure that your people won't hurt mine?'' Xavier says.

''At least someone's smart here'' I hear Mimi say.

''You can't, it goes both ways and besides Lilith said that we need to work together in order to find out the truth and stop more girls from disappearing'' Jack walks to the chair on my right and sits own.

''Last time I checked, you knew all those girls so it might have been you that caused them to go missing'' Girl number one says.

''If your looking for a place to have a bitch fit, please fuck off'' I say allowing a little red to seep into my eyes. This girl is testing my patience.

''No, Veronica is right. You knew them, and now they're gone, why's that?'' Girl number two says. I facepalm myself.

''You both see to know so much, so please grace us all with your intelligence'' Susie says sarcastically.

''Are you making fun of me? Bitch I'll show you what happens when someone makes fun of me'' She gets out a stake and attempts to stab Susie with it but before she can, I am up and out of my chair before you can call for 'help'. I grab her by the throat and slam her onto the conference table.

''Don't even think about killing one of my warriors'' I snarl at her. Each and every one of the hunters, take out some kind of weapon and aim it at me.

''Let me go'' She fails to get my fingers from her neck.

''Let her go Ahrine'' Xander says from behind me. Suprisingly I do.

''Don't  even try it next time, and I swear I won't even warn you before I rip you apart'' The crimson in my eyes are showing by now, the hunters look at me in horror. ''Ce n'est pas un avertissement c'est une menace''

''What happened to not trying to attack us?'' A boy asks, this time.

''Seems like you didn't understand Jack's words. You hurt my warriors, I'll do it back'' I say.

''You could be lying''

''Last time I checked, I can't lie. I'm bound to the truth, everything that I say is the truth so when I say I don't know what happened to those girls, it honestly means I don't. Every single one of my kind is bound to the truth, none of us can lie''  I close my eyes and take deep breaths, hoping that some of the crimson will leave my eyes, if not all.

''What happens if you lie?'' Xavier asks.

''We feel excruciating pain, and the more we lie the weaker our symbols turn, and once its gone we're no long part of the 'good side' Only some of us can supress the pain'' Elliot states and shows his symbol on his arm.

''You all have them?'' Xander asks.

''Yup, except Arhine has another different one'' Bliss says. They all look at me.

''Why are you all looking at me like that for?'' I ask.

''Why do you have another one?'' A different boy asks this time. I seriously need to know their names.

''No one knows'' I close my eyes and allow the pain to come, I've managed to supress the pain of lying, no one knows why I have the mark under my eye, nor do they need to know. Xander looks at me closely but doesn't say anything.

''We're here to work together, not have chit chat'' Kieran says.

''Right'' Xander says.

He introduces his team and I introduced mine. Turns out girl number 2 was Sam, boy mumber one was Charley, boy number three was Josh and two more boys, Ivan and Evan - Twin brothers and of course... Veronica.

''So, now that we've had a warm welcome, why don't we go back to our rooms and rest?'' Mimi says. Luckily for her, we all agreed.

Chapter 8 - Find the fucking beast that killed her

 

Back to school..... yay! urgh just joking, the early morning wake ups and the late nights when working on solving the case, sometimes i dont even bother to go to sleep.

I walk out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped aroound my body. Classes started an hour ago but me being a lazy butt slept in and woke up half an hour ago, when i realised what time it was i rushed to the bathroom and cleaned up. I walk to my closet and pull out my undergarments and uniform and put them on. I dried my hair in the bathroom, as its naturally wavy i leave it and apply some eyeliner, mascara and blood red lipstick. I put conceallor over the small mark under my eye and put on my conbat boots and blazer before grabbing my bag and stuffing all the important stuff into it.

I rush out of my room, and go to my first class..... which had to be biology. I'd missed the first few minutes of class but the teacher wasn't here yet so it doesn't really matter.

''Where's Ms. Willsborg gone?'' I ask to Susie, who was on my right.

''Don't know, haven't seen her since the assembly yesterday'' She replies.

''Great'' The minute hand turns and eventually 15 minutes have passed and still no presence of Ms. Willsborg so most of us just leave.

''You guys coming to the common room?'' Mimi asks ''I'm sure they are there'' She smirks.

''No, going to get some fresh air'' I say with a snort. I don't plan on going by them anytime soon, especially him, even if I'm meant to be working with them... don't ask me why I don't even know myself.

''Okay, see you in a bit'' They leave and I walk towards the courtyard and sit down.

I lie down on the bench and think of the words that the girl from yesterday said. Sure I knew two of the girls that had gone missing but that doesn't mean I had anything to do with it. They were human, I'm meant to be protecting them not babysitting them but that doesn't explain how they were taken from my presence and I was there blindly hoping that nothing bad would happen in this lifetime but it seems like bad follows me like a shadow. I am pulled away from my thoughts when a scream echos through the courtyard. I jump up and use my speed to run towards the scream. The others are there, all freaking one of them.

''What's wrong?'' I ask, when I see Mrs. Corer standing with the blood drained from her face. ''Again I repeat what's wrong?'' I say.

''Look for yourself'' Veronica says. I do, and in fact I am shocked in what I see. Ms. Willsborg's room is covered in red liquid and not just any liquid but blood. I stop myself from inhaling the sickly sweet smell step into the room. I look around, Ms. Willsborg's body was on her bed, completely mutalated and her face would be hard to even identify. I turn back around and walk out of the room and close the door behind me.

''What are you doing?'' Xavier asks me. I ignore him and talk to Mr. Hart directly.

''Take Mrs. Corer to her room and calm her down'' I order him. He nods and leaves with her. I turn back to the others, I know that Lilith and Xander's hunting guild would have been informed straight away. ''What happened?'' I said, so calmly that no one should even mistake me for being anything but calm.

''What does it look like happened?'' Kieran says sarcastically from my right. I shoot a glare at him and he puts his hands in front of him as a sign of surrender.

''Mrs. Corer came to see why she hadn't turned up for the staff meeting this morning as well as the last two classes and when she opened the door she found Ms. Willsborg like this and well.... the rest is history'' Lucian says.

''You've got to be fucking kidding me, not those sick bastards'' I groan and close my eyes. I'm starting to loose my anger and fustration too quick, I haven't fed in a long time now, only have been surviving on human food.

''What are you talk about?'' Ivan asks. I take a deep breathe before opening my eyes.

''Nothing, I'm not even sure myself'' I say.

''You sounded certain a few seconds ago'' Veronica remarks. I open my mouth slightly so she can see the gleem on my fangs.

''Like I said, its could have been something else, I'm hoping I'm wrong'' I turn around, making sure my back is to everyone. I need to feed soon, otherwise I'll loose control. A few minutes later, a person from the guild came and took Ms. Willsborg's body and sealed the room shut after grabbing evidence that may help us. If I'm anywhere near correct then her death is linked to the disappearnces of the girls.

''What do you think could have caused her death?'' Sam asks as she looks at the photos that were taken of Ms. Willsborg's body. There were claw marks everywhere and a few bite marks. The more I look at it, the more the heavy pit in my stomach churns. I look at Kieran and Susie, signalling for them to follow me. ''Wait, where are you guys going?'' Sam asks.

''I need to talk to these two in private'' I say. I hear Charley scoff.

''Pretty sure you can talk to them out here, in front of us all'' He raises an eyebrow ''Or are you hiding something?''

''I'm speaking to them in private and if you have a problem then wait in the line that's waiting for me to give a shit'' I say and shut the door behind me.

''What's going on?'' Kieran asks me.

''I'm pretty sure you guys know what I'm worried about?'' I say.

''You think they're here?'' Susie asks. I nod my head.

''The signs are there, and as much as I hope its not them I can't deny it'' I sigh.

''I'd hate it to admit it but I agree with you'' Kieran says.

''I want you both you take Mimi and Jack with you, and make sure that they're not on the school property or anywhere near us'' I say ''I couldn't get them in here without raising suspicion''

''Oh.... I'm pretty sure they suspect something'' Susie snorts.

''Just go and do it'' We walk back into the common room and find Bliss and what do you know? Veronica arguing. Don't they get tired of that shit? ''Hey!'' I say to get their attention. ''Hey!!'' I say a little bit louder, but nada... nothing. ''HEY!!!'' They all shut up and look at me. ''Da fuq is going on?'' I ask.

''Nothing, just some misunderstanding'' Bliss grumbles. Veronica snorts.

''She tired to kill me, that's what happened'' She exclaims.

''I doubt that's even likely, because I could have sensed when she was going to kill, so don't try to even lie'' I smirk.

''I wasn't lying'' She mutters.

''Sure, I believe you'' I turn to Mimi and Jack ''Go with Susie and Kieran'' They oblige without question.

''Where are they going?'' Xander asks from behind me. i turn and face him.

''I need all four of them to do something for me'' I say like he just asked me about the weather.

''Care to elaborate'' He says, looking at me closely.

''No, and I'd prefer it if everyone drops it'' I say.

''No, what are you hiding?'' Sam says.

''She's right, we have to work together as a team so no hiding'' Evan defends her.

''Guys drop it'' I mutter softly.

''If you have nothing to hide, then why aren't you saying anything?'' Veronica says.

''I SAID DROP IT'' I shout. The whole room is silent, I can hear the distracting sounds of their heartbeats. I quickly walk out of the common room and into my own.

I sit at my desk with the files of the missing girls in front of me.

'Talia Montgomery.

17 years young

Human

Brown hair

Blue eyes

5"4'

'Rebecca Kailum,

17 years young,

Human

Blonde hair

Brown eyes'

5"2'

'Summer Wendely

17 years young

Human

Brown hairgreen eyes

5"6'

All these girls have one thing in common, they're all 17 years old and are human. Why are they targetting young girls? Especially ones that don't know about us? I spend a few hours going over the case, I miss all my lessons but I've done it before so its not anything new. A knock on my door brings me to reality.

''Who is it?'' I ask, covering my notes.

''Me'' Two voices say. I roll my eyes.

''The doors open so come it'' I say and sit back down. I hear the dooropen and close.

''What are you doing?' I hear Xander ask from my right.

''Going over the reports and how did you guys even know where my room was'' I reply, not even lifting my eyes from the paperwork.

''Lucian is here so what do you think?'' He says.

''Okay'' I roll myy eyes.

''Have you figured anything out yet?'' Lucian asks as he takes a seat next to me.

''I'm not sure if its useful or what but all the girls that have been taken were either human or 17 years old'' I reply showing them the missing girls profiles.

''What do you think might have happened to them?'' Xander asks me.

''I'm not sure, for all we could know, the girls could be dead and I honestly hope they aren't'' I sigh.

''Well, Jack said they might have found something'' Lucian says.

''What did he say?'' I ask.

''He thinks he might have tracked down what killed Ms. Willsborg this morning'' He replies.

''What are you guys talking about?'' Xander asks confused. I look at him.

''This morning when Ms. Willsborg suddenly died was unusual and the way she died was too familiar so I asked Susie and the others to go see if its still around'' I say.

''Why didn't you just say it in front of the others?''

''I didn't know if I was right or not, and I didn't want to take my chances'' I yawn.

''Why do you think she was killed?'' Lucian asks.

''I have a feeling that she knew where the girls were or why they were disappearing but someone might have felt that she may spill everything and killed her before she could even talk'' I say. ''And I think that there are more people that know''

''But how could she have done all of that under our noses?'' Lucian asks. I've been wondering the same thing for the last few hours.

''Everyone's found out about Ms. Willsborg's death'' Xander says.

''Well that was quick'' I mutter. Xander gives me a quizical look ''When something 'gossip' worthy happens, it spreads like wildfire and it seems like her death is now interesting to everyone'' I explain and quote the word 'gossip'. He gives me a distasteful look.

''Wll, that's nice'' He bites out.

''Let's just figure out what's happening'' I turn back to the papers in front of me ''And to do that, we need to go find this fucking beast that killed Mrs. Willsborg''
