This takes place during I am Number Four and after the last Vladimir Tod book.

CH. 1

I didn't like Otis's idea whatsoever. Sure, the people of Bathory had discovered our secret, but did we really need to move to Paradise, Ohio? In a small town you went noticed, the main reason we got found out. About two years after the attack, with all the deaths caused by my dad's return, Eddie Poe came back. In order to save everyone I had to reveal myself.

It was a long drive and we were both exhausted. When we got to our new house it was about one am and a note from the real estate agent was hanging on the door telling us she'll be there in the morning. We unpacked our stuff and went to bed. I couldn't sleep. Flashes of all the death flashed into my brain. I finally got up and walked to the kitchen.

I ripped open a bag and poured the liquid the liquid into the mug. As I took a drink I felt relief as the blood flowed down my throat. Wait, you're surprised by that? Well, I suppose I didn't really introduce myself to you. My name is Vladimir Todd. I am Half Human, Half Vampire.

I woke up with a start. I slowly slid out of bed and pressed my ear against the door.

"I hope you like it," a woman's voice rang out.

"I do like it. Hopefully Vlad likes it, too…" Otis's voice said. Otis, who are you talking to? I sent telepathically.

Why don't you come out and see? He responded. I guess I had to trust him… I walked out of my room, which led straight out to the living room, to see a surprise. Sitting on the couch was a woman.

"Oh, hello. I'm Annie Hart, the real estate agent. You must be Vlad. Otis told me about you," she smiled. Wow she talks a lot.

You have no idea, Otis replied.

"You look like you're a junior. Are you going to school? Not today obviously. You are, aren't you?" I opened my mouth to tell her that I was 20 and would not be going to school. However, Otis gave me another surprise.

"Yes, Vlad will be going to school. We just have to turn in the papers." Just then Annie's Blackberry phone went off. Annie looked at it and said,

"Oh dear, I must get going. Vlad, I hope you and your dad like it here." With that she left.

"School? Otis are you crazy?!"

"No. Vlad think about it. We don't age. Putting you in high school will give us ore time to live here. I've already arranged for you to go to the school. You will be a junior by the name of Vladimir Thompson." Otis was right. I just didn't want to go through school again. "Come on, Vlad, let's clean this place us up and unpack." I sighed. This was going to be a long day.

So this is before John Smith (4) comes. He should come in a few chapters. Next chapter: School?!
