Hey guys! Here's one of my new stories. Hope you like it. Let me know by reviewing. PLEASE!!!! Just to let you know I dont own anything from the covenant or Morganville vampires. Remember Review!!

I walked on to the campus of TPU (Texas Prairie University)in Morganville Texas.. I was accepted a year earlier. That's right I'm only 17 years old. My names Clair Danvers. Morganville is
defiantly different from Ipswich Massachutes. I feel all alone down here. Especially without my brother or the other son's. That's right. I'm the only known daughter of Ipswich.

I was walking toward the administrative office when I overheard a group of people talking. A pretty black haired girl and two of her friends were talking to a group of jock guys. She said something about World War II being the dumb ass Chinese war. Me being the brainy-ack that I am went by simple reflex and blurted out "It wasn't."

All of them turned to look at me. I swear if I was in Ipswich I would be holding my head high. I was the queen of Ipswich, but here I was nobody. Panicking I plunged on. "World War II." I wanted the attention off of me for the first time in my life. "I just mean- well it wasn't the Korean War. That was later. World War II was the Germans and the Japanese. You know, Pearl Harbor?"

The guys they were talking to started laughing at her. This caused her to glare at me. My first day and I already make an enemy.

The first few weeks flew by. Caleb, my brother, called and made sure I got settled in okay. He would call everyday as would the rest of the son's. I always lied and told them everything was great. Monica and her minions have been trying to make my life hell.

Today is my third week being at TPU. I got up early to wash my laundry, also trying to avoid Monica. I had left my laundry in the machines while I ran back to my room. That was my first mistake. When I got back too them they were gone. The washing machine was empty. There was a note above the machine that was addressed to me.

HEY FREAK! WE FOUND TRASH IN THE MACHINES AND THREW IT DOWN THE SHUT. IF YOU WANT IT DIVE FOR IT!!!

I wanted to scream. I could just use to get my clothes back, but then I would have to listen to a lecture from Caleb. I get enough of those as it is. I hate the dorms. Why did I have to chose to live on campus? I grabbed my bag and headed for the stairs. Right when I reached the top step someone walked in from the door opposite from them.

"Well, look who we have here. The dumpster diver." I stopped and turned around. Of course it was Monica and her minions Jennifer and Gina. I was so tired of fighting with her. Monica being herself struck a pose while her running buddies pulled up her flanks.

I swear she reminded me of a Victoria secret model. All curves, but defiantly not an angel. She was almost six feet tall with a spray on tan. Me, I'm short. 5'1. Something Caleb always made fun of me for.

"Shouldn't you be in first period at the junior high by now? Or at least getting your first period?"

"Monica, look it's too early in the morning to be fighting. Could we please not do this?"

"What's wrong junior high you scared?" Jennifer asked with a laugh. I felt my cheeks flare red from the anger. I could feel the power building up, but there was no way I could use on them.

Monica shoved me. "Go get your clothes already! I'm sick of looking at you!" I almost lost my balance. I shut my eyes and used to keep myself from tumbling down the steps.

Jennifer then went to shove me again and I batted her hand away. "Don't." Monica then stepped closer to me.

"Did you just hit my friend? Where do you think you get off, doing things like that around here you little bitch?" She then smacked me across the face. Hard enough to bust my lip and draw blood. I let go of the banister and punched her back. One thing good from hanging with the guys was I knew how to throw a punch.

It felt good to defend myself. However I didn't expect Monica to throw a punch back. She caught me off guard when she hit me. My backpack being full of books knocked me off balance and I tumbled down the steps. I couldn't use, because then they would know. I would just have to deal with the consequences. Once I reached the bottom of the stairs I heard Monica, Gina, and Jennifer laughing at me. I had a cut above my eye. I could feel it bleeding. My body ached from hitting all the stairs. I was going to have bruises.

I sat there for a moment after Monica and her gang left. A girl that lived across the hall from me, I think her names Erica, came up the stairs. "Clair are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. I guess I tripped." She helped me pick up my books and stray papers.

"My god Clair. Do you really need all these books? How many classes do you have in one day?"

"Six."

"Your nuts." After everything was picked up she started up the stairs then stopped and turned back around. "You should go see the quack shake for your head. That cut looks pretty bad."

"Thanks Erica."

She ran on up the stairs and I headed to the quack shake. I got my eye cleaned up. My ankle was swelled a little. I would use later to take care of that. My face however couldn't do much about cause of the witnesses.

The nurse wrote me a note for my classes and gave me some painkillers. I was supposed to go back to the dorm and rest, but instead I went to the Quad.

I picked up a campus paper and went to a picnic table. Time to look for a place off campus. Just as I flipped to the housing section I'd come for you by Nickel Back rang out from my cell phone.

Just one more moment,

that's all that's needed,

Like wounded soldiers.

In need of healing,

Time to be honest

This time I'm pleading

Please don't dwell on it

Cause I didn't mean it.

I dug threw my bag for it. I finally found it and answered already knowing who it was.

"Hey Ty."

"Hey baby girl. How's classes going?"

"Classes are good."

"How are you doing?" I let out a sigh. "What's up Clair?"

"More Monica problems. We sort of got into a fight today. I ended up falling down some steps."

"What?!"

"It's fine Ty. I'm okay. I promise. I even went to the nurse to get checked out. Let's just keep this between you and me. I don't want Caleb freaking out. You know how he gets."

"Fine, but if you have anymore problems with her I'm coming to Texas myself."

"Thanks Ty, but I think I got it under control. I'm actually looking for a place off campus. That way I don't have to put up with her."

"K. Well I gotta go. I got swim practice in a bit. Call me late?"

"Yeah Ty. I will." I hung up my phone and laid it on the table in front of me. I started scanning threw the housing section of my paper.

The first one had already found a roommate. The second one sounded weird. So did the third. The fourth one though sounded good. It read

THREE ROOMATES SEEKING FOUTH

Huge old house, privacy assured, reasonable rent and utilities.

It sounded great. Money was not a problem. I came from old money so I had plenty. I tried calling and got the answer machine with a mellow sounding, young male voice.

"Hello, you've reached the Glass House. If you're looking for Michael, he sleeps days. If you're looking for Shane, good luck with that, cause we never know where the hell he is-" laughter in the background from at least two people- "and if you're looking for Eve, you'll probably get her on her cell or at the shop. But hey, leave a message. And if you're looking to audition for the room, come on by. It's 716 West Lot Street." A female voice then came on giggling. "Yeah just look for the mansion" Then another male. "Gone With The Wind meets The Munster's." More laughter then a beep.

I coughed to clear my throat. "Um.. This is Clair Danvers. I was calling about the room, but I guess I will just swing by. Thanks." Then hung up.

Those three people sounded….normal. Not to mention friendly. Just what I need.

I went out to the student parking lot and jumped into my black 2009 Chevy Camaro. A present from my brother. I pulled out of the campus and headed toward town. I hadn't really left campus much. I took a right hand turn and everything changed from college town to creepy town. A few people on the streets had their heads down and were walking fast. As I passed people looked up and then back down as if they were looking for a different kind of car.

I stopped at a red light. There was a little girl with her hand in her mothers. She waved and I waved back. Her mother looked up alarmed and hustled the girl into the back of a store. Wow do I look that scary? I thought to myself. The light turned green and I pulled out. A couple of streets up I came to lot street.

I pulled over to the curb and parked my car. I got out and started counting house numbers. It was then that I realized I was standing in front of 716. I turned around and saw the huge white Victorian style house. Not quite as big as the colony house in Ipswich, but still big. It was big enough to be a frat house. I could just imagine Greek letters over the door.

The house almost looked deserted. I looked around on the street. There were no cars parked in front of 716. Maybe no one was home. Maybe this was a bad idea. What am I supposed to do, knock on the door and beg for a room? I thought.

I sat down on the side walk and started thinking. I wasn't going back to the dooms. There was no way Caleb would allow me to get my own place. He would just rather me come back home. He didn't want me leaving in the first place. Especially so soon after the Chase incident. No I had to find somewhere to stay.

A voice broke me out of my thought. "Hey." Someone touched me on the shoulder causing me to jump. "Hey are you okay?" I looked up to see a girl who was way Goth. Not in a bad way. She was a perky Goth girl. It sorta suited her. "My names Eve," the girl said with a smile.

"Oh, Um, I'm Clair."

"Wow, what happened to you?" I reached up and touched the cut above my eye.

"I uh, had an accident."

"Do you need a doctor or something? I could drive you." I realized that while I had been lost in my thought a ancient black Cadillac pulled up in front of my car.

"No. I uh- look I'm sorry. I've had a really bad day. I was coming to ask about the room but-"

"Right, the room!" Eve snapped her fingers as if she'd forgotten all about it. Then she started jumping up and down in excitement. "Great! I'm just home from break. I work over at Common Grounds, the coffee shop. Michael wont be up for a while, but you can come in and check it out. I don't know if Shane's around, but-"

"I don't know if I should-"

"No. You totally should." Eve rolled her eyes. "You wouldn't believe the losers we see trying to get in the door. I mean, seriously. Freaks. You're the first normal looking person I've seen so far. Michael would kick my ass if I let you get away."

"Okay. Truthfully I figured I would be the one doing the begging. Not the other way around." This cause Eve to giggle. She grabbed my hand and started pulling me toward the house.

"It's going to be so great having another girl here." Eve pushed open the front door. "Yo!" Eve yelled. "Roomies! We've got a live one!"

I stopped as the door slammed shut. There were a few ways to interpret what Eve had just said. The first thing that popped in my head was Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Defiantly not good. I started looking around. It was hard to trust people after everything the son's and I went thru with Chase.

Everything looked normal. Nice and clean. It smelled like lemon polish and-chili? I finally followed Eve down the hall. If anyone attacked I could always use my powers. I would just stay on guard. Eve started yelling again. "Shane I know your home. I smell your Chili. Get your head phones out of your ears."

Eve went thru some door just as I came into the living room. I noticed a boy sprawled out on the couch. He raised up and yawned. He looked up at me and I gave him my sweet smile. "Hey, I'm Shane." He whispered. "Dude, badass cut. Hurts huh?"

I shrugged my shoulders. He swung his legs off the couch so he could set up. He didn't take his eyes off me which made me a little nervous. He had brown hair, cut in uneven layers. He was older. Older than me by at least a year or two. Very cute. "So let me guess. Your going to say the other chick looks worse." Shane said.

I shook my head, then winced. That made my head hurt worse. "No, I um- how did you know-?"

"It was a chick? Easy. Size you are, a guy would put you in the hospital with a punch hard enough to leave a mark like that. So what's up with that? You don't look like you go looking for trouble."

"No I don't go looking for trouble. I'm Clair by the way." I walked over and sat in one of the chairs. "I've actually had worse than this, so it's no big deal. I just pissed a girl off because I accidentally embarrassed her in front of her friends. She's been giving me hell for the past couple of weeks."

My cell started playing Dirty Little Secret by The All American Rejects.

Let me know that I've done wrong

I go around a time or two

Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away

Find out games you don't want to play

You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret

(dirty little secret)

I pulled it out of my pocket and answered it. "Reid I'm busy right now. I'll call you later."

"Ty told me what happened I just wanted to check on you." I could here Ty in the background saying sorry. He could never hide nothing from Reid.

"I'm fine. I call you later, and tell Ty he's dead."

"Okay. Love ya Clair bear."

"Love you too Reid." When I hung up Shane was giving me a look. "What?"

"Boyfriend?"

"No. A close friends. Both of them."

"So no boyfriend?"

"No."

"So you want something to drink or eat. I make awesome chili."

"Um, sure." He got up off the couch and padded barefooted into the kitchen where Eve had gone. I listened to the muffled voices, but couldn't understand them.

I laid back into the chair and closed my eyes for a moment. I opened them when I heard Eve's boots clunking on the floor. She was carrying a try of food and drinks. She also had an ice pack in her hands. She tossed it too me.

"Ice pack first." I smiled and held it up to my head. "You can never tell what Shane put's in his chili. Be afraid."

"Don't worry it's all eatable." Shane said as he flopped back onto the couch.

I picked up the spoon cautiously. I barley tasted the first bite, and it was delicious. I then proceed to take a bigger bite.

"Sgood." I mumbled out. Eve came back out and started eating.

"Not bad. At least this time you left out the oh-my-god sauce."

"Made myself a batch. It's got the biohazards sticker on it in the fridge so don't blame me if you get flamed. So where did you pick up the stray?"

"Outside. She came to look at the room."

"So you beat her up to see if she's tough enough." This caused me to get chocked on my chili.

"Shut up chili boy." Eve said. " So Clair. You want to tell me what happened?"

I opened my mouth to speak, but Shane beat me there. "A chick beat her up. Probably some skank in the dorms. You know how that place is."

"Is that true? You got beat up in the dorms?"

"I wouldn't say beat up. She slapped me, I punched her then I got pushed down steps."

"Well that totally blows. No wonder your looking for a place. You didn't bring much with you."

"The rest of my stuff is back at the dorms. I'm not going back tonight."

"Why, someone still looking for you?" Shane asked.

"I just don't feel like dealing with the skank and her gang of bitches again today."

"Been there." Eve said.

"Well. You guys finish up eating. I'm going to get ready." Shane said getting up off the couch.

"You going out again tonight?"

"Yep. Her name is Lauran. Were going bowling." Shane left the room. I looked at Eve.

"I guess I Should ask about the room."

"You have to meet Michael. He still has to say yes, but he's a sweetie. He should be up in a little while."

"He sleeps days?"

"Yeah. I like to sleep days, but he has a thing about it. I called him a vampire once cause he doesn't like being up in the daytime. Like ever. He didn't find it too funny."

"Are you sure he's not a vampire. I mean I've seen the movies. They can be sneaky." I said joking, but Eve didn't smile.

"Oh, pretty sure. I mean he eats Shane's chili, which god knows has enough garlic to explode a dozen Drac's. And I made him touch a cross once."

I was stunned. "You- What?"

"Yeah, I mean a girl cant be too careful. Especially around here." I stared at her confused. She must have noticed it. "In Morganville? You know?"

"Apparently I don't know."

"How can you not know? Morganville is full of Vampires.".
