Hey all. I'm back with another rule list for you all. But this one is a tad different…

I hope you all enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Morganville characters (Including Myrnin ) Except for my character, Cecile

Rule #1 Don't scream "Vampire" in the middle of the Uni.

Yeeah, Funny story that…

I was at the Glass house sneaking a bottle of O negative when Shane waltz in and announced he had the mother of all dares for me to do.

"Oh yeah? What is it then?" I asked setting my half drunk bottle on the counter.

He snickered. "Ok, this is going to be funny as hell right?" He said plonking down on a chair at the table. "You go into the Uni and in the middle of the school you should yell out 'vampire' and point to some random dude." He paused to see my reaction, which I didn't give him the pleasure. I silently mulled over this with a straight face looking at him. This dare that he had given me; it was more dramatic than the one I had given him. He only had to shake a Cola can before he gave it to Michael.

"You do know that breaks a hell of a lot a rules." I said folding my arms.

"Aw c'mon. You can't back out of a dare." He reminded me and made a failed attempt at trying to do the Bambi eyes at me. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Oh alright,"

"Yuss!" He jumped up and fist pumped the air.

"But if I get caught, I'm blaming you." I warned him. That made him shut up.

"Hey, what's happening?" Claire walked in and turned on the coffee.

"Nothing much babe." Shane assured her and wrapped her in a sickly sweet hug. Then they started kissing.

"Guys, not while I'm in the room ok? You're giving me diabetes just looking at you."

Claire rolled her eyes and stepped out of the embrace. "So what brings your lovely mood here to brighten our day?" She asked me.

"Nothing much really, I was just gunna leave. Nice seeing you." I said and picked up my bottle and turned to the direction of the back door. I heard one of them clear their throat. I looked back to see Shane looking at me intently.

Don't forget your dare. I heard his thought. "The weather's going to be over cast today Cecile. Wanna go watch the zoo animals at the Uni?" He asked me. Claire pushed him with disgust written all over her face. The sudden attack surprised Shane.

"Oh, not meaning you Claire Bear." He smiled to her innocently. I didn't stay to see if Claire forgave him or not, I retreated before I had to see anymore mushy stuff.

Shane had been right, for once. It was over cast today and that made it easier for me to get around.

"Hey! Wait up!" I heard from behind me. I took another swig of my drink and stopped for Shane to catch up.

"Took you long enough." I said beginning to walk again.

"Well you didn't exactly give me a chance with your Sucker speed." He objected. I chuckled and walked with him to the Uni.

"So you're serious about this then?"

"Dead sure." He said, and then chuckled. I rolled my eyes at his immature humour.

It wasn't long 'till we reached the fenced off grounds of the school. I gulped in dread, my nerves finally kicked in. Amelie will kill me for this. I was already in her bad books from being created by her father. This will certainly be asking her for a death wish.

I didn't realise Shane was looking at me 'till he said, "Having second thoughts?" with his arms folded smugly.

I scrunched up my face. "Pffft No." I lied.

"Alright then." He said and dragged me closer to the gate. "You used to go to this Uni. So there won't be any problems for you to get in." He told me as if it were a mission plan.

"Sure. Ok, so explain to me how I get past the people who know I don't attend the school anymore?"

"That one's up to you missy." And with that he pushed me in the direction of the courtyard in the middle of the grounds. I looked back over my shoulder to him wearily. He gave me eager thumbs up and moved to another location where he could watch the show better. I gulped and gingerly stepped further into the school grounds.

It was lunch time, so everyone was either at the school's café or eating outside. Watching them devour their meals reminded me of my bottle. I took the last sip out of it and threw the waste bottle into the bin.

I tried to spy someone alone, my victim who I would accuse of being a Vampire. There was a dude with sun glasses standing with his back against a pillar that was holding up a sheltering walkway. Why he needed sun glasses? I wasn't about to snoop through his mind to find out that was for sure.

I walked up to him and smiled. He lowered his glasses down to get a better look at me.

"Hi." I said nicely. He grunted in return.

"Umm," I kicked a rock from under my shoe. I looked back up to him, he clearly wasn't listening to me. Now was my chance.

"Vampire!" I screamed and pointed to the guy. I took a couple steps back and screamed again to make it believable. The guy lifted his glasses onto his head.

"What the heck are you on about?" He asked me. "What are you? Some kind of freak?"

"Vampire! Run!" I screamed and hi tailed it out of there.

I didn't pay any attention to the perplexed faces that watched me go, I just kept running. When I was out of sight from the humans I picked up the pace to an abnormal speed. I nearly tripped over Shane who was nearly on the ground laughing. He lifted up his hand for a hi-5 which I kindly gave him. I waited 'till he got his breath again.

"I'm never doing anything like that, ever again." I told him after he swallowed and had the strength to look to me. I watched as his eyes grew a fraction wider and his face turn a shade lighter. I was going to ask him if he was ok, that if he had just seen a ghost when a hand tapped me on the shoulder.

"Cecile? A word." Came Oliver's voice from behind me.
