Hello everyone. Yes, I know. It's another one, but I can't stop coming up with new ideas. cries You have to believe me, it's not my fault! It's not like I'll never come to update, it'll just take me a little while longer. Lol. Though I swear I'll update. This is my first twilight fanfic, so please don't kill me if it's not alright in the first chapter. I promise that the Cullen's WILL be in this story. Just not for a few chapters. :D:D Well, enough with that, on with the story!
Midnight
Unique Sighting
I sat in school, more bored than usual. I was only in grade ten, trying to listen to the babbling math teacher. 'Stupid trigonometry…' I thought with a dull expression.
"Excuse the interruption, but would all teachers please report to the cafeteria for a meeting?" a female's voice said over the P.A. system.
"How strange," the teacher said with some confusion.
'That's weird. I mean, since when do they call meetings in the middle of class?' The teacher, Mrs. Stokes, sighed and looked at the door.
"Alright, please try to behave while I'm gone. I know you're a good class, but I would rather come back to a clean classroom," she laughed slightly.
When the teacher left, the whole class started to talk loudly.
"Hey, did you hear about the new student that's getting transferred here?" one girl from the back asked.
"Yeah, I heard that. I really hope it's a girl," another one squealed with excitement.
"Do you believe them Faye?" the girl beside me asked.
I looked at her through my black bangs that hung in front of my green eyes.
"I believe they're so obsessed that they're stupid," I replied with a smirk.
'It's only a new student. It's not that big of a deal.'
"What about you Kenzie?" I asked, not really interested.
"I think it's weird how they're so into it," she replied with a confused look on her face.
Kenzie had shoulder length wavy, red brown hair that had been dyed so many times that you couldn't tell the real colour anymore.
The two of us had known each other since kindergarten, though we weren't always friends in the past. Now that we were in high school, we were friends, but didn't hang out together.
"That's exactly my point. Watch, tomorrow when the new kid gets here, they'll be bombarded with the entire female student body," I laughed, reaching for my sketch book.
"I wouldn't put it past them," Kenzie laughed.
My long black hair hung down my back as I looked at the black board. 'There has to be something more to this…'
"Attention all students, school is out for the rest of the day. The buses have been called to take all students home," the woman on the P.A. system said to break the silence.
'Well that works for me. I was ready to go home anyway…'
"See you tomorrow Kenzie, if they even decide to have school tomorrow," I laughed again as I grabbed my books to leave.
"Yeah, see you later."
The students flooded from the classrooms, heading for their lockers, in a hurry to get home. 'Stupid crowded hallway… Stupid doors in the crowded hallway…'
"You know, there's a reason why they have two doors!" I shouted in frustration as everyone tried to get through one door.
'Screw this. I'll just go the long way.' With annoyance, I turned around and went back the way I came.
There weren't many people, which I was thankful for as I went to the stairs. 'Why do they all act so stupid sometimes? I mean, how smart do you have to be to open the second door?' Without paying attention to where I was walking, only subconsciously following memory, I ran into someone and froze as my face was in their chest. By the feeling of their chest, it was a guy who I had run into. 'Oh crap. Pay attention from now on you idiot!' I yelled at myself as I took a step back.
"I'm sorry, I'll just be leaving now," I apologized without looking at who I ran into, sort of embarrassed.
"Why hello," he said in a gentle tone, so gentle it was tempting me to look at who it was.
'Just leave you idiot!' Giving into temptations, I looked at his face. His skin was pale, his eyes a dark colour of red, and his hair was a dark brown that was almost black.
"This is a nice school you have here. I thought I'd better check it out before tomorrow," he said with a pleased smile.
'So this is the new student?'
"Good luck with all the girls who will be drooling over you tomorrow. I suggest you stay away from the cafeteria and the take out places," I said, shrugging off my previous embarrassment and becoming as cold as usual towards guys.
"Will you be part of those girls?" he asked with an amused look.
"Not a chance," I scoffed, walking around him to go to my locker, "See you later new kid. Or should I say 'fresh meat'?"
"Interesting," he whispered before continuing on his way.
'Alright, from now on I watch where I'm going at all times!' I scolded myself as I opened my locker. I was planning on taking my time. If I missed the bus, I was always willing to walk home, since it wasn't really that far. My baggy yellow World Industries shirt got caught in the hinges of my locker as it normally did when I wore it.
"Stupid locker," I almost growled.
My anger was catching up with me from me stupidity, so the simplest thing was going to make me snap. Pulling my shirt out of the hinges, I reached for my back pack. That was when I noticed something missing. 'Damn, I must have left my math book behind… I'll have to get it tomorrow.' The hallway was empty of people except for me. The silence was slowly making my agitation worse. Upon shoving everything into my bag, I reached for my light jacket since it was late spring and summer was coming soon. 'Once I get home, I'm flopping on my bed and taking a nap. This is definitely no my day. Tomorrow probably won't be my day either…' I left the school, leaving behind the random student still left inside. I lived a little outside of Cobourg, a town in Ontario, Canada. It wasn't the world's most exciting place, but it was good enough for me. Upon walking around the corner outside of the school, I saw that my bus was still there. 'Well, I guess it is better than walking…' I caught the bus just before it left and got on, finding that the students from our neighboring high school had just gotten on.
"Weird," I whispered, grabbing a seat in the middle of the bus.
'Did all the schools let you early today?' With a shrug, I waited for the ten minute, noisy bus ride to be over. I tried not to listen to other people's conversations, but one caught my attention, an unusual once from girls.
"Did you hear about that kid from Port Hope?" the one girl's voice from behind me asked.
"Yeah, they said he was attacked by something," replied the other.
"Some people say that he was bitten by a person," said the first.
'What? Why would a person bite someone else?'
"But he died from it. It was like he was bitten in a vital spot and bled to death without leaving hardly any blood…"
'Grandpa used to say things about people dying like that… Ether that or a while pile of people went missing.'
"Do you think whatever did it would come over to Cobourg? I mean it's only a few minutes away…" wondered the second girl, sounding afraid.
"I don't know. They're having tight security around there right now," the first girl pondered.
'Very interesting…' I thought with a small smirk. This was starting to become interesting. The bus stopped and snapped me out of thought.
"Home," I whispered, standing up and walking off the bus.
'We have a new student, someone was attacked and killed, and… I'm hungry.' When I saw our driveway, I knew that my mom was home and my dad was god knows where. I walked down the driveway to out white house that wasn't huge, but a comfortable size. There was our garage beside out house and out yard was big with a huge garden beside the garage. Behind the house was a field used for hay that belonged to someone else, and behind that was a large forest. 'I wonder what kind of mood mom's in today…' Opening the door, I heard the dog come running to the porch.
Our dog, Cubbie, was almost two years old. He had his way of doing things, but was a good dog all the same. He had to be only as tall as my kneed and not fat but a good build for a dog.
"Hello puppy. Were you a good boy today?" I asked him, bending down to pet his soft white fur.
When we first got him, I was on a school trip, so when I got home there was a big surprise sleeping in my porch. Cubbie was part poodle, part Canadian Eskimo husky. When he was a puppy, he looked like a little bear cub the way his ears were folded over. Cubbie was truly one of the cutest dogs I had ever seen.
"Of course you were a good boy. Yes you are," I laughed as he licked my face.
'Silly dog…'
"Where's mom? Go get her."
I watched as Cubbie ran up the stairs and around the corner.
Going up the stairs myself, I put my back pack on the kitchen chair and walked into the living room. My mom was sitting in her grey chair with the dog on her lap.
"Hey honey, how was school?" she asked.
"Good, I guess. Did you know they were letting out early?" I asked her, wanting an answer to why we were let out.
"Yeah, they called last night, saying that they had to have a meeting about the boy in Port Hope," she explained.
'Why would they have a meeting for something like that? So the kid got attacked by something, it's not like it's that big of a problem.' I leaned against the hallway wall with crossed arms.
"I hear there's a new student in you school," mom changed the subject.
"Yeah, I ran into him today by accident. He was scoping things out before tomorrow," I said with a shrug, not really caring.
'His chest was so hard… All of his features seemed so perfect…'
"I'm gunna go have a nap. Wake me up when supper's ready," I said with a small yawn.
"Alright," she agreed.
I walked down the hall to my room and shut the door behind me. 'That look he gave me… It looked so pleased, like he'd accomplished something. Or am I just thinking on it too hard?' Flopping face first onto my bed, I buried my face in my pillow.
My room wasn't very big, but it was big enough to fit a twin size bed, two dressers and to still be showing floor. Well… It would have been floor if I didn't have clothes and video game controllers all over. The white dresser was mine with my clothes in it and my T.V. on it. The brown one was my mom's with some of her clothes in it and at least fifty-four manga books on top, piled neatly on top of each other in two piles. I reached down beside me and turned on my CD player to listen to the radio.
"Police are still roaming around Port Hope in search of Matt Daniel's killer," the news man said without emotion.
"Yeah, really sounds like you car," I mumbled into my pillow.
"There are no suspects of the event. Matt Daniel looks like he was thrown around before being killed," he continued, "If you have any idea of the culprit, please report it to the police."
A song came on, one that was on so many times in the day that I was getting tired of hearing it. 'I don't get it… Why would he have bite marks on him? Who would bite their victim to kill them?' I thought the whole thing was confusing, stupid of all things. There was nothing worse than something I couldn't figure out on my own. What made it worse, was the new kid at school, the way he looked at me with interest.
That night, supper was quiet. Dad came home while I had been sleeping and we were watching the news. Cubbie was lying at mom's feet, watching dad eat with a begging face. That night, while I was sleeping, I dreamt of the so called 'murder' and the person who had done it. I was walking down the street at night, hearing a muffled cry of a boy from an alleyway. I was wearing my golden yellow World Industries shirt with a pair of black baggy cargo pants. As I came to the alleyway, I saw the outlining of two people; one I knew to be Matt Daniel, the other I wasn't so sure. I watched with both interest and horror at what was happening. The stranger had their hand over Matt's mouth, holding him tightly in place as they had their mouth on Matt's neck. 'Is he… Is he sucking on his blood?!' The muffled cried stopped and a few moments passed before Matt's body feel to the ground. The stranger looked at me with their red eyes, seeming pleased. That's when I woke up to my alarm.
"Stupid clock," I cursed as I got to my feet.
Upon turning it off, I remembered my dream. 'A vampire? How sad are my dreams going to get? Vampires aren't real.' I laughed stupidly at my dream, at how unrealistic it was.
"Cubbie bear," I called as I opened my bedroom door to have a shower.
The white dog cam running, one ear standing up and the other hanging down. His white curled tail wagged happily.
"Are you going in the bathroom with me?"
The washroom was right across the hall from my bedroom, so it wasn't far to go. My long black hair was a mess from sleeping and my blue pajamas were all ruffled. 'I must have really been into that dream…' Without any more delay, I had a warm shower and started to get ready for school.
It was the same, boring bus ride as every other day. Drop the junior high kids off and head into town to get off at the high school. 'Why can't I think straight? Is that stupid boy really going to bug me so much?' I thought with annoyance. I was wearing a big red sweater with fuzzy stuff on the inside. My pants were camouflage cargo pants that were baggy. Getting off the bus, I looked at the school suspiciously. 'Today is today, and yesterday was yesterday. Maybe that new kid will want nothing to do with me.' My black hair blew with the wind as I opened the school door to go inside. The school had three floors, which unfortunately meant a lot of stairs to take.
"Hey Faye, do you know what were doing in gym today?" a girl asked from behind me.
I looked and saw that it was Amanda Daniel, Matt Daniel's sister. She was shy a lot, not really not one to get into conversations easily. 'Why would she come to me?'
"I think we're playing volley ball," I replied with wonder, not really sure myself.
"Oh, alright…" she said shyly.
'There has to be something wrong…'
"Is everything alright Amanda? I know your brother just died and all, but if you have anything you want to talk about, then I'd be happy to listen," I offered as we walked down the hallway.
The walk slowed to a stop and I looked at her with a worried look. She had blond hair that went to her shoulders and brown eyes that seemed to hold a deep sadness.
"I came to you because… because I thought that maybe, since you spend most of your time alone, that it would be alright…" Amanda trailed off, not sure on what words to use.
"You can hang out with me if you want to, so long as you enjoy playing video games and anime," I laughed with a smirk, not really being serious about the games and anime.
Amanda gave me a confused look at my words and I just shook my head.
"I was only joking. Yeah, you can hang out with me if you really want to," I said with a smile.
"A-alright," she said with a smile back.
We continued down the hallway to our lockers and opened them, not noticing the people around us. 'Amanda is a good person, but she's usually so shy tat she doesn't really have many friends. I'm sure she could really use a friend right now…' I tried to imagine my brother dying, but it was hard considering he was at University in Ottawa. Right before I could close my locker, someone tapped on my left shoulder and I turned to my right, knowing someone was trying to trick me. There stood the new kid, with a perfect smile on his pale face. 'I should have known he wouldn't leave me alone…'
"Hello there, Faye, right?" he said with a smirk.
"He look... fresh meat," I replied with suspicion and an evil smirk.
Amanda came up to me with a small blush on her face, obviously showing she thought he was hot. That proved that it wasn't all in my head.
"So you're the new student?" she asked shyly.
"Yes I am. And who might you be?" he asked with a gentle tone, looking at her with lighter red eyes than yesterday.
"I'm Amanda… Amanda Daniel," she said with a small smile before looking away with a brighter blush.
I watched as surprise hit his eyes and he took a small step back at the mention of her last name. 'What's wrong with him? Did he know Matt?' Amanda didn't see him move away.
"So, does the fresh meat have a name?" I asked, watching him closely.
The student's expression went back to normal, with a smile. 'This guy is different… I don't think I've ever seen anyone's expression change so much.'
"My name is Silas Rowan," he said, looking back at me with pleased eyes.
'Silas… That's a strange name. It's not one that people would use very often.'
"What about you, Fate? What's your last name?" he wondered, his dark brown hair falling forward as he looked at my face.
It caught my attention, how long it was. It was long, but not crazy long. It was wavy and was a little longer than chin length. 'It kind of looked like it's wet…' My stomach growled, which brought me out of thought.
"Baxter," I replied, looking away and shutting my locker.
'This guy is really going to bother my thought train. I don't like to be like other girls, but he's going to make that a little harder.'
"Silas, that's an interesting name," Amanda said to him with a smile.
"That's what everyone else says, but it depends on who's saying it that I can believe. You never know who's a liar these days," he laughed slightly.
The bell rang and in my head, I silently celebrated. 'Yay, Gym here I come!'
"Alright, I guess I'll see you guys at lunch," Silas laughed again before going to the stairs to go up.
"Alright, let's go Amanda," I said with a smile to her.
'He seemed to keen on lying. I wonder why.' When we got to the girl's change room, the announcements came on, as well as the national anthem. Amanda sat beside me, an even that had everyone asking questions. I looked at the other girls thought my black bangs, watching and listening to them.
"I-I don't think they like us sitting together," Amanda laughed slightly.
"Well that's too bad for them. People can be friends with who ever they want," I said with a shrug, not really caring what the class thought.
"And that's all for this morning's announcements," a girl from student council said through the P.A. all too happily.
"Alright, get changed. We're playing volley ball," the Gym teacher, Mrs. Gibson, said as she came in.
'They're all too perky today, just like any other day. Why can't there be a day where I can have a good day?' I didn't change, knowing I could play well enough in the clothes I was wearing. I waited for Amanda to change so we could go together. Everyday, she changed in the bathroom.
"Why would Amanda become friends with someone like you?" a girl asked me with a scoff.
"Why does it matter to you Olivia?" I asked with a cold smirk.
She gave no reply, only turned away from me with a glare. 'That's what I thought.'
"Are you ready to go?" Amanda asked me with a smile.
'When did she come back?'
"You bet I am."
We walked to the upstairs gym together and when we opened the doors, we found that we were the only ones in there.
"I don't mean to bring this up Amanda, at least not to make you sad, but how do you go to school here when your brother was at school in Port Hope?" I wondered, really curious.
Her gazed looked away from mine and she sighed.
"Our parents… were divorced when we were younger. Some how they split the kids apart, sending me with my mom and Matt with my dad. Dad lives in Port Hope, in our old house, and mom bought a house here. Even though we were apart, Matt and I still got to see each other since we were so close," Amanda explained with a solemn expression.
"I'm sorry for your loss," I replied, extremely apologetic.
The rest of the class came and class stated. Amanda and I were partners for volley ball, practicing. We were both good at sports, though I was prone to accidents a lot. Someone else's ball pelted me in the side of the head and rolled away. There was of no consequence to me, since I was used to it. When the bell rang, I was grateful to get to tech class. That was until the teacher put the locks on the computers so we couldn't do anything while he spoke. 'What now, Mr. Allen?'
"Everyone, we have a new student to our class. He just arrived today, so I hope you will all treat him kindly," he said with a smile.
'You have got to be shitting me!' I thought, incredulous.
"Please welcome Silas Rowan to the class," Mr. Allen said as Silas walking into the tech room.
'Please don't see me, please don't see me, please don't see me…' I begged silently as I turned my screen back on. The locks came off and we were free to work again.
"What a coincidence to be in the same class as you, Faye," his gentle, tempting voice said from behind me.
'Damn, he saw me!'
"Yes, this is my tech class and now it's apparently yours too," I stated coldly, not really caring.
There was a small laugh as he pulled out the chair beside me and sat down.
"I really wish you wouldn't be so cold."
"Honestly Silas, this is who I am. So take it or leave it, because it doesn't really matter to me," I scoffed.
"Don't worry. I take you as you are. There's nothing better than someone who likes to be different," he laughed as he turned the computer on.
His words surprised me, as if I was expecting him to want me to be normal like all the other girls. 'Maybe today won't be so bad after all…'
