Blurb: A fearful encounter strikes the heart of Gwen when she realizes who and what the new boy is in this short but thrilling story.

First Encounter

Two people from my class haven't been in, ever since Theo had joined us. It's odd really, they've been missing the whole two weeks; even their parents don't know where they are.

My dreams about that boy have been unusually rare. It used to be every two weeks, just after midnight. Now it's every month or even two. I don't know his name but his face always seem clear to me. His dark charcoal hair and his mischievous, scarlet eyes are always the best features to look at. For some reason, I find myself thinking about him a lot... Maybe it's love?

No. I think its fear.

I've always been bullied by the girls in my school. Just because I'm not as rich and as fashionable as them and just because my mom works as a dinner lady and my dad, a janitor. They bullied me with whatever reason they could find and they did it all so skilfully. That's when I met Him. After a long day at school, he appeared in my dream. My dream was about the teacher staring at me, the boys staring at me, the girls teasing me. Even though the teacher knew about it she didn't do anything.

It's different when I'm with him though. He knew about it, that's why he'd done it. He appeared outside my classroom window- his bloodshot eyes angry and frightful. He was dressed in our uniform but it was all plain black. His hair, slowly turning grey and then pure white. His fangs slowly growing longer. Now I knew what he was: a vampire.

On his right hand he clutched a sharp blade soaked in crimson liquid, dripping; synchronised with the ticking off the clock. I stared at him afraid of who he was, afraid of what he was. He wasn't human and I realised that.

I didn't know what he was going to do. At first he vanished from outside the window and then appeared before me, behind Karen. He raised his right hand and placed the blade against her neck whispering solemnly into her ear.

The first expression I got was her eyes widening and her lips quivering. The next was her, turning around facing his smiling face and screaming. The last, was her, falling down, blood escaping her neck. God knows what happened to Cassandra.

Cassandra was the main person who bullied me. She was the culprit, the mastermind, the leader. I hated her and she hated me. We never spoke kind words to each other, not even once. But I still don't like how he had done it. It was true murder, true nightmare. He vanished quickly from behind Karen and stood behind Cassandra. He didn't use the blade on her neck. No, not this time; he used it above her neck- the head.

It was impossible; a blade can't just stab one's head, of course the skull would be there to protect it, but naturally, he had a trick up his sleeve. His blade was one of a kind, it was supernatural, the kind of weapon every murderer would dream of- invincible.

He brushed his lips over Cassandra's neck and then he pierced his two long fangs and sucked on her blood. Cassandra gave out an alarming cry, tears trickling from her eyes and hands shaking uncontrollably. When he was done with her, he finally swung the blade from behind her head. Splodges of blood stained his dark clothes and pale face. Cassandra fell to the floor, lifeless. The whole class was staring at him, horrified and in panic but he was staring at me...smiling.

It's been four months since I had that dream. Cassandra, Karen and the rest of the girls had still been bullying me but not since Theo came. Theo had always been kind to me but had also been mysterious. His dark, jet black hair and blue, dashing eyes are his best features.

I still wonder what he'd told Cassandra and Karen that day, two weeks back. He approached them after school, on the way home and whispered something beside their ears. It's only natural that both of them would listen to him because they had a big crush on him. I don't know what happened after that but I haven't seen them ever since. When I asked Theo about it the following two weeks he just smiled and said,

"Don't worry, they'll be just fine".

Hi guys, I'd just like to let you know that I am the claimer of this story- I made it myself like three years ago and I thought I'll post it to see what you think. I wrote it when there was a big hype over Twilight- but no worries, this isn't Twilight related at all!

I'm going to write a few more to accompany this series, so please review and wait for the next chapters! :3
