AN: Hi everyone! *hides behind everyone in the MBAV cast* Please don't eat me. I know I promised to update Call Me Aria like months ago, I've just been having trouble getting started writing again. But, TwistedTelepath and I are writing this collab! If you haven't heard of her or her stories, go read her story Tales From A Teenage Demon and the sequel Adventures of a Teenage Demon! They're super duper good! I'm still going to try to update CMA, hopefully this month or next month!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN MBAV OR KAMI. I ONLY OWN TAYLOR-ANNE AND HALF THE PLOT.

-Taylor's POV-

I stepped out of the Ontario airport and breathed in the air. Yep, this was Canada. I let the sun warm my body, until I was roughly pushed forward.

"Tay, move your ass!" My best friend, Kami Steele, complained loudly.

I turned to her and frowned delicately "Kami, it is inappropriate for a lady to use such language."

"Well, good thing I'm not a lady, eh?" She smirked widely at me.

I rolled my eyes; Kami could be so strange. The two of us were visiting Whitechapel, a small town in Canada, where my really cool aunt Skylar lives. We came from England, where we both live. My name is Taylor-Anne Summers. I have long, straight brown hair that reaches halfway to my waist, and big blue-green eyes. My parents raised me to be a proper young lady befitting a high title, so that is who I am.

Kami, however, is my polar opposite. She's wild, loud, assertive, and she's always getting me into trouble. I don't know why we're friends; but we are. She's a natural beauty with long brown hair with blonde highlights and mischievous blue eyes.

"We should get a cab or something." Kami said, shielding her eyes from the sun.

"Why don't you go get one for us?" I commented offhandedly "I'll call Aunt Sky and let her know we've landed."

She exhaled loudly, pouting "Fine. Make me do all the work." She walked off in search of a cab.

I pulled my phone out of my carry-on tote and called my aunt.

Two and a half rings later, she picked up. "Hello?"

"Hey, Aunt Sky. It's Taylor-Anne." I greeted warmly.

"Taylor! How are you sweetie? Have you landed? How was your flight? Do you have money for a cab? Do you need me to come pick you up? How's Kami? Is she with you? Can I-"

I cut her off, biting back a smile "Aunt Sky! We're fine. Kami is getting us a cab right now. We have enough money, don't worry."

"I can't help but worry, sweetie." I could hear the smile in her voice "You and Kami are very special girls."

I giggled "You always sat that." She always called us her 'special girls'.

"It's true."

"Hey!" Kami jogged up to me "I got us a cab, let's go. Are you talking to Auntie Sky?" I nodded. She got up in my face and yelled into the phone "Hey Auntie Sky! We'll be there in half an hour!"

I cringed at her noise in my ear "Kami, please. We'll see you soon, Aunt Sky. Bye." I hung up and smiled at Kami "Shall we go?"

Aunt Sky's house was quaint. It was two floors with a basement. Kami and I were sharing the guest room. Posted to the door was a note:

My special Taylor-Anne and Kami-

Hello girls! I'm so sorry, I remembered something at work I had to check up on - I think. But don't worry! I'll only be a moment! There is a spare key in the mailbox~ use it to get inside. Feel free to explore the town if I'm not back by 4:00!

My aunt, ladies and gentleman. Always flitting off whenever she pleases. I looked at my phone; it was 3:52. She can't have left too long ago, and knowing Aunt Sky, she'll probably be gone for another hour. I sighed and ripped the note from the door "Kami, could you get the key out of the mailbox please?"

"On it!" Kami got the key and handed it to me. I unlocked the door and let us both inside.

Inside the guest room, Kami and I were unpacking; or, I was anyway. Kami lounged on her bed, groaning. "Tay, I'm booored!"

"If you're so bored, why not unpack?" I asked uncaringly, hanging up a dress.

"Because unpacking is even more boring!" She cried, bouncing on her back.

"How about we take a walk? Explore around a bit?" I suggested, thinking back to the note Aunt Sky left us.

"Can we get ice cream?!" She asked, sitting up quickly.

"Of course; if you'd like."

"Yes!" Kami jumped up "Let's go!" She grabbed my arm and pulled me along out the door, barely giving me time to grab my purse from the counter.

"Ice cream! Hell yeah!" She yelled, running out the door.

-Kami's POV-

New town? Alright. New country? Count me in. New boys? Oh shit, yes! Boys, boys, BOYS!

Sorry, I'm kind of boy-hungry at times.

We were walking down some random street, licking ice cream cones. Taylor looked at me, her facial expression making her look constipated.

"Kam," she said, cringing. "There's strawberry ice cream all over your mouth."

I shrugged and licked my lips. "Better?" I asked, smiling.

She sighed, shaking her head. "Very classy."

"You have a little something." I said, rubbing my finger in the corner of my mouth.

She gasped and looked in glass of a store, checking herself. I laughed and threw my garbage in the trash.

Taylor could be a little vain and cold at times. The girl can't pass by a mirror without making sure she looks good. She's obsessed with being ladylike. Making sure her posture is great, her legs crossed every time she sits and she's always nagging me about my behavior and etiquette.

Sometimes, I just wanna yell at her, 'Dude! Calm the hell down!', but I don't because I love her. It's like she's Carly Shay and I'm Sam Puckett. Total opposites.

"Ooh," I purred, looking at my Twitter page. "Adam likes my latest post. You think he believes in long distance relationships?"

"You and Adam aren't even dating." Taylor said, shaking her head. "And you posted a pic of a baby playing basketball."

"Shah!" I said, rolling my eyes. "That baby caught some serious air!"

I laughed as I replied, but I bumped into someone. Something sticky and wet spilled on my shirt and I groaned.

"Hey! Watch it, dude!" I said, looking down at my clothes. My eyes shot up. They widened at the sight of the tall boy in front of me. Dark brown hair, hazel-green eyes and a quirky smile. My type. Plus a watergun? Seems this boy knows how to have fun.

"I told you to be careful with that!" some guy next to him told him. He looked at me and put two huge, fat sticks behind his back.

"Nah, it's totally fine." I said, brushing off my pissed mood. I gave a flirty smile.

"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" he flirted.

I snickered. "No. But God did a hell of a job on your face." I flirted back.

Taylor sighed again and pulled me next to her. "Sorry, but we have to go. Busy, busy, busy."

She pushed me in front of her and walked further down the sidewalk. I faced her, clenching my fists tightly.

"Dude! I could've been hooked up with that tall guy by now!" I whined.

"Kam, why must you flirt with every boy you see?" she asked.

"Because every boy is a wonderland, waiting to be explored!"

It was now ten something at night. And we went shopping. Glorious, glorious shopping. I must've maxed my card, and should be expecting a call from my dad any minute from now. Whatever.

We were walking down the street, back to Sky's house, laughing about nothing.

"So, we're spending almost like the whole damn summer here," I said, looking at Taylor. "What are we gonna do?! I wanna go to the beach tomorrow. Cute surfer boys hang out at the beach."

"Kami." she stressed. "I just want a normal, cool summer."

"Exactly! Cool summer. A cool summer is messing with your best friend, throwing parties, getting drunk-"

"No."

"Why not? It's a foolproof plan!"

"No!"

"Ugh!"

Taylor never goes along with my plans. She thinks they're all bad and stupid and silly. I obviously think they're totally epic. Sometimes I think she thinks of me as a clown. She's right.

I heard some hissing coming from down an alley we walked by. I stopped and wiggled my nose.

"Kami!" Taylor said, motioning for me to follow her.

"You know I have to be nosy and check it out!"

"Kamille Spencer Arianna Steele!"

"Ew! Don't call me Kamille!"

I hated my name because it sounded... weird! Who gives your daughter a first name with a replaced letter and two middle names, one a boy's name and one a girly name?! I swear my mom was drunk!

-Taylor's POV-

After the nerd-water gun-flirting fiasco, I started to steer Kami back to Aunt Sky's house. It was already almost nine thirty, and the sky was getting darker by the minute.

True to every cliche you can think of, we got lost.

"Taaayyy..." Kami moaned "Where the hell are we?"

"Kami, I've told you; I don't know. And I won't know until my phone gets reception again." I tried not to shoot her an annoyed look.

"But I'm tired. And hungry!"

"I'm sorry, but you will have to wait!" I said heatedly. Hopefully that ended it.

Kami stayed quiet for a moment, and then "Can we at least stop for food?"

I rounded on her, losing my patience "Kami -"

"Hey, are you ladies lost?"

Kami turned to the source of the call, two good-looking teenage boys in dark clothing. She eyed them up and down hungrily and called back flirty "Yeah! Do you think you boys could help us out? We /really need someone to show us the way home." She stuck her lower lip out in a pout.

The two boys grinned widely. There was something almost creepy about them. "Yeah, we can show you how to get home." The taller one said "Just tell us where you live."

"We know this town like we've lived here for a hundred years." The other said. They laughed together like it was some kind of inside joke.

"That's really not necessary-" I started to say, but Kami cut me off.

"Thank you guys so much! I'm Kami and this is Taylor-Anne."

"Kami!" I hissed.

"What?" She hissed back, pulling me over to the two boys "They're cute! Time to let the fun summer begin!"

I tried to protest but she pulled me right up to those boys. It is not proper of a lady to complain in front of the person, or people, helping her.

The taller one looped his arm around Kami's waist, and she giggled and leaned into him. The other dark guy was instantly at my side, smiling down at me. "Hey, how you doin' tonight?" He said.

"I am fine, thank you." I said politely "How are you?"

"A little thirsty, but now that you ladies are here I feel so much better." He leered.

I looked over concernedly to Kami, who was oblivious to the creepy vibe these two were giving off.

It took me five minutes to realize that these two boys were leading us in the wrong direction. I may not fully know this town, but I know the area around my aunt's house. "I don't mean to be a bother, but this is the other side of town. We're not even close to my aunt's house."

That caught Kami's attention "You sure, Tay?" I nodded.

"No worries, girls. We're taking a short cut. James and I know where we are." The tall one said, turning us down into a dark alley.

Ooh. Very cliche. And working very well.

"So, where are we exactly?" Kami asked threateningly.

"We're at your final destination." The shorter boy, James, smirked, his canines looking sharper and more prominent.

"What do you mean..?" I asked, starting to get scared.

"Kami Steele and Taylor-Anne Summers." The tall one smiled wide "We've been waiting to find you two."

"And now that we have you, we're going to... eliminate you." James said.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Kami asked angrily.

The tall one glared at us, his deep scowl marring his handsome face "Our clan has been tracking down the Steele and the Summers families for generations. You know what your ancestors have done to us! And now, you'll pay the price for what they did, and we'll be seen as kings!"

"I don't know what the hell you're talking about! You're crazy!" Kami snapped.

"Shut up! You know what you did!" The tall one yelled, his eyes flashing - yellow?

"We didn't do anything!" Kami yelled back.

"Michael, I think they're serious." James stopped his friend from exploding "They really don't know. I bet they don't even know about their... family gift." James eyed us with a disgusting smile.

"/Oh." Michael elongated the word tauntingly "So that's the story. How clueless they are. That'll make this easy." He ran his tongue along his teeth, which had two lethal fangs in place of his canines.

"W-what are you?" I asked shaking.

"Girls, get down!" A voice yelled. Unhesitating, Kami and I instantly flattened ourselves to the floor. The sound of a water gun squirting above us went by, followed by sizzles, a hiss, and a shriek of pain. Someone moved above us and there was a soft thump and another yell. Two lights flashed and then the same voice said "Okay, you're safe now. You guys can get up."

I started to push myself up, when an arm wrapped around my waist to help me. I got to my knees and looked up to see a boy's puppy-like face, with floppy blonde hair and blue eyes. He smiled goofily at me and said "Hi."

"Hello." I greeted softly back.

"Your skirt is really short. I bet I could see your underwear." He teased. I gasped, my face turning hot as I reached behind me to pull down my lacy pink dress. I got to my feet quickly and stepped out of his grasp. The blonde boy's grin faded but was back full force in a millisecond.

I saw out of the corner of my eye Kami being helped up by the brunette boy that shot her with a water fun earlier. Kami, apparently, had no qualms about what just happened, because she was already up and flirting with this boy.

"I'm Rory." The blonde drew my attention back to him "what's your name, beautiful?"

"Taylor-Anne." I answered warily, looking around. There was another boy, the shorter brunette, talking to a short, tan-skinned girl.

"Two names for a girl two times more beautiful!" Rory smiled wide.

"Can anyone tell me what just happened?!" I suddenly exploded, my voice ringing out. I caught myself and uttered an apology for my outburst.

"This is going to sound a little crazy, but you two are just going to have to believe me." The shorter brunette boy said "You were just attacked by vampires."

-Kami's POV-

"Girls, get down!" Someone shouted. I shrieked and got down on the ground. It sounded like someone was having a cookout and some hissing occurred. I had already gotten into my panic position. Hugging my knees and rocking back and forth. "Okay, you're safe now. You guys can get up."

I was still a little shaken. The cute tall boy from earlier came up to me. "You okay?"

"N-n-no." I said, shaking my head and laughing. "But I think I am, now that you're here."

He smirked and gave me his hand. I took it and got up. "Kami." I said, brushing the shoulders of my black blazer. Why would I wear a blazer in the summer? "And can I call you the god that saved my life?"

He laughed. "Or you can call me Benny. Whichever you prefer."

"I think I prefer the first." I said, coming closer to him. "Um... my butt and I thank you for saving us."

"You and your butt are welcome."

I could feel myself getting hotter. OMG, I couldn't keep up my game for long! It's like I've met my match! I need to think of more flirts later. Nobody out-flirts Kami Steele!

"Awk-ward." I sang.

"Yup." He agreed.

"This is going to sound a little crazy," The littler brunette from before said. "But you two are just going to have to believe me. You were just attacked by vampires."

Taylor looked him in the eye.

"What?" she asked, denying it. "Vampires aren't real!" She picked up my bag from the floor. "Vampires? Tuh. No. Psychos? Yes. More like it. I-I don't believe it. Come on, Kam, we're leaving."

I stomped my foot. "I don't wanna leave!" I protested.

"We're leaving." She said, pulling me to her side. "Thank you, a lot, but this just isn't logical."

"It makes perfect sense!" I said, loosening her grip on me and putting my hands on my hips. "Look. Psychos, I can understand? But with gold eyes and sharp teeth, Taylor?! Think! Freaking vampires!"

"But they were talking something about our families and gifts and-"

"We have to just ignore that. We were almost eaten tonight. Can't we just get everything sorted out before we go crying to Skylar?"

She sighed and crossed her arms. "Fine."

I nodded and smiled. "Okay. What's this about vampires?" I questioned.

. . .

Turns out vampires were normal here. There were mean ones, like this chick named Erica who was on vacation and best friend of Sarah, who had just became a full one back in February, but was still coping and afraid she would snap and clueless ones like Rory, who had an obvious crush on Taylor.

Taylor and I had no freaking idea about how they were turned and why and who and blah, blah, blah. Just that they were vampires. And that vampires were real. As real as octomom.

And they didn't sparkle.

"I still think we should be walking home by ourselves," Taylor whispered to me. "It's not safe. What about Aunt Skylar? She must be worried sick!"

"Relax, Tay," I said, grabbing her shoulders. "You worry too much. You're gonna get wrinkles." I teased.

She rolled her eyes. But then she pulled out her compact mirror to check her face. She gasped as she saw her hair. She reached into my bag and took my comb. She passed it through her hair to fix it. I shook my head and walked ahead of her.

"So, is it fun being a vampire?" I asked.

"Yes! It's awesome!" Rory said.

"No." Sarah said less optimistic. "It's horrible."

"Alright. I see there's different opinions. I'll just be over here."

I walked over to Taylor, who was listening to Ethan and Benny talk. Weird.

"They're totally nerds." She whispered to me.

I gave a snide smile. "A proper lady wouldn't say that." I sang.

She glared at me and tapped her fingers on her lips. "Ugh."

"So, were you ladies scared?" Benny asked.

"Me? Scared?" I asked. "I eat fear for breakfast."

"That's not what your screaming said."

Taylor chuckled and looked away. I nudged her and crossed my arms. "First time you saw a vampire, I bet you were scared."

"Was not."

Now Ethan was the one who chuckled. "He screamed like a little girl!" he told us.

Taylor and I laughed. "Ha!" I said, pointing my finger at him. "Sissy."

His face burned red. "W-w-well... uh."

I came up to him, looking up at him. "Mhmm. Point one Steele."

"At least I didn't stay in a ball and almost cried." Taylor and Ethan, our little audience, laughed. "Point one Weir."

I narrowed my eyes at him and smiled. "Wanna hang out tomorrow?"

"Sure." Benny said, taking out a piece of paper. He wrote his number on it and gave it to me. I smirked and did the same thing.

"Oh brother," Taylor huffed, rolling her eyes. "Another number to add to her collection."

"Shut up." I said, putting the number in my bag.

. . .

That night, Skylar wasn't home yet. So, I declared that night as movie night, even though it was super late.

Actually, we suffered through each other's movies. Taylor suffered through The Hunger Games and I suffered through Titanic for the millionth time. To think I'd be sick of it when she plays it every damn movie night, but she knows every line, too.

Oh, joy.

I shoved my hand in the popcorn bowl in my lap and put the popcorn in my hand into my mouth.

"Kam, could you chew a little softer?" Taylor asked.

"Okay." I said, through my popcorn.

She groaned and shook her head. She smoothed her night gown and walked into the kitchen. I laid on the couch. Something vibrated underneath my butt. My phone, no doubt. Or that'd be weird.

The caller ID? The new number I just put in my phone. Benny.

I smiled and answered. "Hello?"

"Kami?" He said.

"That's 'ma name, don't wear it out."

"Taylor told me it was Kamille."

I covered the phone with my hand and screamed, "TAYLOR!"

"It's cool. I don't like it when people call me Benjamin."

"Yup. It's just weird to me."

"So, what do you wanna do tomorrow?"

"Um..."

"We can like, go to the beach or something. Just me and you?"

"Are you gonna drool over me in my bikini?"

"Maybe. Depends."

"Alright! The beach it is! Later, Stripes."

"Stripes?"

"The striped polo you were wearing."

"Hmm... Don't worry, I'll find a name for you."

I laughed and hung up on him. Taylor came back in the room. She looked at me, then at the popcorn.

"You ate all the popcorn, you pig." She said, squeezing next to me. "Why'd you call me?"

"No reason." I lied, hugging her. "You wanna come to the beach with me tomorrow?"

I heard something hiss from outside, but then it stopped. Was this our life now?
