Ch.1- Meeting her

anything that is in *.* is a thought. When I explain how someone looks, I can go into great detail. I am really sorry if my tenses are wrong (said/says, had/has), I normally do it in the past tense for some reason. I own only Nell and the storyline.

-3rd person POV-

"BOO!"

Ethan and Benny jumped back. Rory had just jumped in front of them without warning.

"Would you quit doing that Rory? It's getting old." Ethan said.

"If it's getting old, why are you still getting scared?" Rory said, laughing.

"Because you appear from nowhere with no warning at all! I'm starting to want to put a cat bell on you." Benny replied.

Rory pretended to look hurt at this but then shrugged and walked with them the rest of the way to school.

"Hey guys." They heard Sarah say as she walked over to them.

"Hey Sarah!" Ethan said, fawning over her as usual.

"Okay, so there's this girl, who's first day is today, and she is in your grade." Sarah started to explain.

"Aaaaaaannd...?" Benny said.

"I told her that she could have lunch with you guys today. She seemed to really be a loner aaannnd I think you guys would like her." Sarah said. Then she looked down at her watch and said, "oh, I gotta get to class. Her name is Nell and she's going to meet you at the main door to the cafeteria." and with that, Sarah runs off.

"Anyone else think its weird for a new girl being willing to sit with us, a bunch of strangers?" Ethan questioned.

"Me." both Benny and Rory said at the same time.

"Whatever. We'll see how it goes and if I-, I mean we, don't like her then we'll give her the boot." Benny said. He left the other two behind and walked to his class. Ethan and Rory went to their lockers and then did the same.

-time skip to lunch-

Ethan was waiting for Benny and Rory by the cafeteria for a few minutes. They finally show up and are waiting for her.

"I wonder when this Nell girl is going to get here," Benny said, "and I wonder if she,s worth the wait!"

Ethan thumps him on the back of his head.

"Really Benny?" Ethan said.

They both turn to Rory, who has been unnaturally silent. They see that he is just staring down the hall with his mouth hanging open.

"Dude, what are you looking at." Ethan asked.

Rory lifted a his hand and pointed at a girl that was coming down the hall towards them. Both Ethan and Benny look and they are dumbstruck too. The girl coming down the hall was about 5'4 and had a slight tan on her slim body. She had straight, dark brown hair that went a little past her shoulders. The two front inches of her hair on the her left was a sunflower blonde, that stood out from the rest of her dark hair, along with the two dirty gold streaks of hair coming from the back of her head, on the inside of her hair. She had dark brown eyes with a few tiny specks of silver in them that kind of mixed with her pupils that are naturally big. She was wearing a kind of loose white t-shirt that had a single, giant, black butterfly across her left hip, half her stomach, and presumably half her back, with text on it that said "I would rather be flying." Her shorts were two cm hemmed jean shorts that went to a few inches above her knee. She was also wearing plain black flats. She was carrying a paper with her that obviously was her schedule and it had some scribbling at the top. The one thing that the boys didn't notice about her was her twitchy fingers that emitted sparks when she got bumped into by others going down the hall. She reached the guys and she said, "Um, hi. I'm Nell. Are you Ethan, Benny, and Rory?" She asked.

They didn't respond and we're still staring at her. She snapped her fingers in front of their eyes and they snapped out of it.

"Oh, um, yeah. I'm, I'm Benny"

"Hey. I'm Rory." He said with a goofy, I-have-a-crush-on-you smile.

"I'm Ethan. Nice to meet you Nell" he said to her.

-Nell's POV-

He stuck out his hand for me to shake it. My head filled with words that aren't mine.

*please don't give me a vision! Please don't give me a vision!* I heard in his head.

I sighed on the inside. I knew I would give him one...

"Um...I have...a thing...about...germs...?" I said to him. I'm a horrible liar.

*she's a really bad liar* I hear all of them think.

*I really need to get home to check grandma's spell books to see if there are any more love spells I can try!* I heard Benny think.

*stay calm, Rory. Don't float. Don't float. Don't float. I'd rather be flying too. I wonder when I'll be able to pick up a rat or a squirrel or somethin'. I'm low on blood right now. She is so pretty. I wonder if she's a vampire or a seer or a were wolf or a witch or a-* I tuned out Rory's thoughts. So...Ethan is a seer, Benny is a wizard or a warlock or a spell master, and Rory is a vampire? God, this town is perfect for me! The supernatural are everywhere!

-3rd person POV-

They decide to let it go and they took her inside and they all got their food. They sat down in an uncomfortable silence. Suddenly Sarah ran over to them and started talking.

"Guys! Erica wants to-" she cut herself off when she realized that Nell was there.

*how am I supposed to tell them that Erica's out for the blood of someone new when Nell's here?* Nell hears Sarah think.

Sarah opened and shut her mouth a number of times before Nell blurted out,

"Would you just tell them already and not keep thinking about it?! You're giving me a headache!" When Nell realized what she said she clamped her hand down over her mouth.

"Wait...how did you know I was thinking about telling them something?" Sarah asked suspiciously.

Nell opened her mouth, but as soon as she did Erica entered the cafeteria, looked around and came over to the group.

"Who's this?" She said, nodding at Nell.

Before Sarah could stop him, Benny said, with a flirtatious smile towards Nell, "New girl. Nell."

*fresh meat* Nell heard Erica think.

Erica grinned and walked over to Nell and said, "so, if you don't mind me, I'll just take her to go." Erica grabbed Nell's left wrist. "I haven't had a bite in a while."

Nell didn't even flinch. "Wow. So this is how some of you do this? Just getting a grab and go meal?" Nell said with a laugh.

"Shut up or I'll drain you dry right here right now." Erica told her, flashing her fangs.

Nell just laughed then got serious, "doubtful" her fingertips twitched and suddenly a slim, black, 10" rod with a rounded end seemed to shoot out of her right hand and she was holding it.

"Let go of me, Erica, or I'll make you" Nell said warningly, waving the rod a bit.

"Haha!" Erica laughed, "What are you gonna do? Hit me with a stick that I can snap with my pinky?"

Nell just smirked, raised the rod, and...
