Now, I hope people are still interested in Being Human enough to care about this. I am hoping to make this my first fanfiction to have chapters. Now, this fanfic diverges from my previous fanfiction called How It Ended, which gave a possible reason for why Adam left Matt and Christa. I have always wished that they had done a series two of Becoming Human, as I thought it had been a good idea. Because of this, I plan to make this fanfiction eight chapters long.

Just so you know I am trying to fit this all into a reasonable timeline of events, which is difficult due to Being Human lacking any exact dates, but I imagine this to be happening in between the events of Series 3 and Series 4. I have some problems with the Being Human timeline, as i feel that this would be happening in 2010, not 2011 as it is suggested. This is because every episode with a werewolf transformation is set a month after the last episode with one, and series two is set a month after series one while series three is set two month after series two. Because of this, i think that up to Adam's first appearance, its been barely more than a year since the first episode. If you think otherwise, do inform me. However, I have decided to follow the timeline set by the Being Human Wiki. I don't own Being Human or any characters associated with it, and if you can review this if you like it or if you think I'm getting something wrong, I would be thankful.

"God, what's taking him so long?" Christa asked with an annoyed expression, as she and Matt stood at the front of the school. It was rather warm and as a result of wearing her coat in a pointless attempt to hide her scars, she felt like she was in an oven. Her ghostly stalker-turned-friend Matt, on the other hand, was blessed by the gift to not be affected by the heat.

"Don't know. It's rather sunny today; maybe vampires have a small problem with it after all." replied Matt, fiddling with his fingers with boredom, as he thought about what had happened recently. Since the mystery of his murder was solved nearly three months ago, things have mainly been police asking Christa and Adam questions about what happened, along with people everywhere whispering to them behind their backs.

"That's stupid. He's been outside when the sun was out more than this plenty of times." She responded with a sign.

The two stood there for a few more moments, with Matt starting to swing his arms slightly. "So," he began, trying to pass the time, "what's been happening with the police?" Matt had to admit, he had been worried with the police. Seeing as Adam couldn't be photographed, Matt had feared that his friend would have to leave to make sure that the lie that monsters didn't exist could continue. But now that he thought about it, Matt wondered how Adam was able to get into the school with that limitation, along with the fact that he had no parents for the school to contact. "I have to ask him about that at some point." thought the sixteen year old ghost.

"Well, things have started to calm down with them, but they are still bringing me and Adam in for questions. I guess they just find it difficult to believe our story, not to mention that Adam's bloody annoying ego can't allow him to not exaggerate what happened." Christa answered with a glare at the school, as she thought back to the many interviews with the police. Unlike herself, Adam probably has never been more at ease, seeing as he had people just listening to his every lie, such as how he bravely risked his life to protect his "girlfriend", who he was in a very intimate relationship with, from a murderer.

Luckily, the police weren't as gullible as a monster would expect, and they believed Christa's versions of events, which simply involved them recently dating and only sneaking into the school to make out, while deciding Adam was simply an annoying loud-mouthed sex obsessed teenager. Christa did concur with Adam's attempt to fight Mr Roe, but said that it was less impressive as Adam would make it out to be. Despite their faith in her version of events however, they were still trying to wrap their heads around the fact that a sixteen year old managed to scare away a man who had successfully killed someone, and had nearly got away with it.

"But that's the least of my problems." Matt looked at her with a frown, trying to think of something worse than the police. "Because of our story," Christa continued, "the school now think me and Adam are actually in a relationship." As she said that final word, her faced curled up in disgust, as if it left a bad flavour in her mouth.

"I would have thought that you would have been more worried about what your parents thought of you being with Adam."

"Honestly, they haven't even mentioned it. It's kind of scary if I'm honest; it's like I'm waiting for a bomb to go of at any moment." Christa signed, shaking her head slightly as she wondered how messed up her life had become after just seven months. For the first five, she simply chose to ignore…what happened on the full moon. Then Adam arrived and alerted to her that vampires and ghosts exist, and they needed to work together to solve Matt's murder.

"Anyway, what's happening with you?" she asked partly because she didn't want to talk about herself and her fake boyfriend problem, but also because she was interested to know what was going on with Matt.

Matt smiled, showing his teeth. "I made a cup of tea move across the table at a café yesterday. You should have seen the guy's face when he moved to grab it." Lately, ever since Matt didn't pass through his door, he has devoted his time to figuring out what exactly he was capable of. According to Adam, ghosts could do a number of things such as moving objects with their mind and projecting their memories into the minds of others. Matt had never been happier when he learned he had telekinesis, an ability that ever superhero geek like himself would kill for.

"I meant about your parents? Haven't you been trying to make contact with them?" Christa asked, lowering her voice slightly as two people walk past. The last thing she needs is people to start thinking that she was crazy.

"No, there hasn't been much luck. I've considered moving things about since the funeral, but I'm afraid of giving my mother a heart attack. And even if by chance she came back a ghost, I would still feel bad about it." Matt responded, looking at the school to see if Adam was here yet. "Ok, seriously, where is he?"

"Well, last I saw him he was getting some work from Mr Richards. Why don't we go and see if he's still there?" she asked, with Matt nodding in response. While she didn't want it to show, she was worried about Adam. Not only because he was her friend, but because he was a vampire and she doubted he had a lot of self control when he was human.

Mr Richards taught history and his lessons were located near the back of the school, which was mainly where people went to smoke. This was mainly because it was a good place to quickly get rid of any evidence while in school hours. It wasn't far to get there, but when they finally saw Adam, they were thankful that they hadn't waited any longer.

The eternal teenager was talking with Brandy Mulligan, the most popular girl in school and secretly a member of the Crompton family. Or, one should say that he was being talked to by Brandy, while he stared at her neck with a longing look. A look which they knew to mean that he was hungry.

"Adam!" Christa shouted, moving quickly. Matt followed, knowing that he wouldn't be much help in getting Brandy away, but willing to do anything to stop his friend from doing something he will regret. The two other students of their school turned to look at them, which thankfully prevented Brandy from seeing Adam's pitch black eyes.

"Well, if it isn't Christa. I think you need to have a talking to with the foreign exchange student over here." Brandy said to Christa, turning to look at Adam just as his eyes turned back to normal. "He was staring at me all through class today. If he doesn't stop, I'll get Danny to rough him up."

Christa looked at Adam, worrying thoughts flowing around her head. Why was he staring at Brandy? Was he planning this? Was he planning to kill her? She didn't know what she would do if he was. She didn't fancy her chances of survival if Adam was going to go bad, even with Matt's ghost powers.

"Well, you know how he is. He's a knob." Christa swiftly responded, moving between the vampire and his potential victim. She tried to think of a way to get Brandy to leave quickly, but she soon found that she doesn't have to bother. With a sneer at Adam, as if Christa's answer explained everything, she walked off unaware of the danger she had been in.

"Thanks."

Christa turned and pushed Adam, her anger sketched onto her face. "Thanks! Is that all you have to say? What the fuck was that about? I thought you came here to avoid hurting anyone, not to find easy victims!" It took all of her self control to restrain from shouting this from the top of her lungs.

"I-Look I was just…The bloodlust was stronger than usual today ok. I'm still going through the withdrawal symptoms." Adam responded, looking between Matt and Christa. "I mean, I've been drinking blood for about thirty years. It's not like on the telly where all it takes is one night of pain to get over an addiction. It's a minute by minute struggle to resist, filled with temptation."

"But were you planning to kill Brandy?" Matt asked, looking at his friend with a sad expression. Adam looked back, evidently unsure what to say, before turning to stare at his feet in shame.

"I don't know. I wasn't planning to do anything to her today. She just showed up and began getting angry over me staring at her, and all I could hear was her blood. I could smell it." Adam looked back up, full of regret. "I don't know if I would have killed her if you hadn't showed up."

Christa shook her head, trying to work out how she feels. She wanted to hate him for there being even a possibility that he would kill Brandy, but a part of her understood. A part of her understood that it was difficult for him not to give in. Neither she nor Matt knew of his life as a vampire before he came to their school. They didn't now anything about his human life. So neither knew if he had killed before, but even when they first found out that he was a vampire and that he used to drink blood, they still chose to trust him. So why couldn't they continue to trust him?

Before any of them could speak however, a scream cut through the silence in the air like a knife. The scream seemed to be a mixture of fear and horror, something that belonged in a scary film. Shocked, the three reacted on instinct and ran towards the source, wanting to know what caused such a scream. They quickly found that it belonged to Brandy, who was sitting on the ground crying. Right in front of her lay the dead, bloodied body of a sixteen year old Rathborne student with dark black hair and a thin, skeleton like body. The trio stopped in surprise and with a feeling of sickness in their stomachs, but all felt that sickness for different reasons. Christa felt sick because of the fact that the dead boy looked so young, because he looked like someone who couldn't hurt anyone. Adam felt sick because he longed to start drinking all that blood, because he couldn't imagine anything better than finally getting a drop of blood. And Matt felt sick because he knew the boy, because he had been his only friend until Adam and Christa.

"That's Steve McKenna." Matt whispered as his entire body shook at the sight of the dead body. Adam and Christa turned to look at him, stunned at the revelation. They turned back to the body, unsure what to do. But they didn't have to think about that. People nearby where already getting their phones out and in only a few moments, police and ambulances were all around the. The three friends were sitting on a bench as they watched the teenager's body being taken away.

"Who could do something like this?" Christa asked silently, her body frozen with indecision. She didn't know how to react to seeing something like this. This wasn't a situation she ever expected to find herself in. Throughout the whole interview with the police, she just couldn't stop looking at the body.

"A vampire." The two friends looked at Adam in shock, as he pointed at the body. And, after truly looking despite the fact that the body was moving, they saw two holes in Steve McKenna's neck, where the blood had been drained from him. Matt and Christa looked at each other as they realised the truth. A truth that didn't need to be voiced. A truth that scared Adam more than he would ever want to admit.

"A vampire is feeding in Rathborne."

So, what do you think? Good or bad. Remember, the only bad criticism is no criticism.
