Kayla's POV

Thank Jesus! What had just happened to Zoey was one if the worse things that could of ever happened! Getting run over by a school bus would have been better than getting marked! If Jared hadn't of called me, I probably would have screamed and run away.

Rushing into the parking lot, I spotted Jared's car in the upper east parking spaces. I hopped into the passenger seat and looked at him. He could see I had been crying.

"What the hell happened? Why are you crying?" he said worriedly. I just shook my head and started to cry some more. I told him the most epic, extreme, scary ass story he has probably ever heard. I could tell from the strange what-the-hell look on his face.

"Why did this have to happen, and to Zoey! I mean it's bad enough that we have that stupid test tomorrow, but it's not enough that she has to get turned into a blood drinking monster?" my words kept coming out. Zoey has told me before that I talk to much, but I just don't really hear it. I think Jared noticed it sometimes though because this time he stopped me.

"Kayla! Stop babbling! I can't understand anything your saying! Don't worry about Zoey, she will be fine! Just be thankful it wasn't you! Okay?" he was shaking my shoulders as he yelled at me. I nodded my head and we started to drive home.

The car ride usually takes around twenty minutes when Zoey drives. That's what I like about Jared, he's quick… if you know what I mean. We pulled into my driveway and screeched to a stop. Jared gave me a kiss as I opened the door to get out of the car.

"Don't worry about anything, Kayla. You will be fine." He smiled and as I shut the door, he drove off the driveway and down the street onto the main road. I took my key out of my back pocket and jingled it to put it into the keyhole to open my door.

My mom was in the kitchen. So I ran up to get and told her all about the epidemic that happened at school. She froze from chopping lettuce for dinner.

"Zoey? Are you sure?" she just kept staring at me.

"Absolutely, positively!" I said to her.

"Yeah, Mom, I really don't want to think about this right now. So I'm going to go to McDonalds or something for dinner." I said as I was leaving. She yelled back an okay. So I stepped back outside the door and back into the car, like I was rewinding a tape to what I just did.

I was driving slowly down the deserted highway when I heard a loud bang. I noticed my speed getting slower and slower and my gas was way past E. as I came to a complete stop, I was lucky enough I had pulled over to the side.

"Great." I said to myself. I jumped out of my car and onto the grass as I called my mom. I heard a rustling in the woods. I froze.

"Don't be worried, its only me." A voice said. I didn't know the voice. That is, I didn't notice it, until he spoke more clearly. It was the dead guy from school that marked Zoey. No.

"Kayla Robinson! Night has chosen thee; thy death will be thy birth. Night calls to thee; hearken to Her sweet voice. Your destiny awaits you at the House of Night!" that's when he once again raised his finger as I turned around to zap me in the face. My forehead seized and I fell to the floor. I couldn't feel anything as I closed my eyes.

I woke up in my bed with my mother by my side with bags full of my stuff. She wanted me out that badly. She really did hate me.

"Get out you ungrateful bitch," she said and threw the bags on my bed. I guess it was my turn to journey onto my new home, the House of Night.

I hope you guys like this one as much as you liked my first one. This one I wrote by myself :} there will be more chapters. I'm still working on it.

Please review.
