A/N: A friend of mine and I started this as an RP, but it was so tempting, I had to put it up here to see what you guys think. I'm working on a comic version of this, so if you enjoy this, please let me know so I can upload the comic. I hope you enjoy our story! By the way, I don't know how to play Yahtzee. (:
P.S. A song to accompany this chapter—Tourniquet by Evanescence

Chapter One

Ariane threw up her hands and screamed "Yahtzee!!! - I have yahtzee!!!" Glee filled her expressions as she screamed.

Kemp touched her shoulder and shook his head. "Uh, no. Not even close."

"But, you said..."

"That ain't it."

Ariane stuck out her tongue is frustration and settled back down. "Guess it's your turn then." She had officially given up on this game. "Who decided we should play this anyhow?"

"I did. You need to learn something else besides painting your nails." Kemp was a brat, but he was a good brat at that. Ariane ran her fingers through her curly scarlet hair and bit her pink lower lip as she thought about the game. Her eye wandered to her wand sitting beneath the bed, but she forced herself to concentrate on the game. "I'll win fair and square" she thought.

Suddenly, from the kitchen, there came the pitter-patter of little steps being taken. A sing-songy voice came from that direction. "Who wants cookies?"

"Oou, I love Ellie's cookies." Kemp licked his lips at the thought of Ellie's chocolate chip cookies melting in his mouth.

Ariane rolled her eyes. "Be careful, Ellie! Don't miss the step like you did last time!"

"I won't!" came Ellie's reply as she came into the room. "See? Nothing to worry ab--" Ellie never finished her sentence because she tripped over the Yahtzee game box that was lying on the floor. The cookies on Ellie's plate fell onto the game and knocked over Ariane's dice. When Ellie looked up at the board, she chuckled. "I think you won, Ari."

Ariane sighed and patted Ellie's head. "At least you tried to avoid it this time."

Kemp scooped Ellie into his arms and got her to her feet. "You really need to sit down. As much as I love your cookies, no more cooking for tonight. One more tumble and you're making a trip to the ER."

Ellie pretended to jump at the threat and nodded. But she and Ariane winked at one another. "Brat." They both worded. Kemp grabbed a few broken cookies and stuffed them into his mouth. "Well now that Ariane's won, what do you kids wanna do?"

Ellie glared at Kemp. "As long as I'm not going to the ER, I'm fine with whatever it is." Kemp pursed his lips.

Ariane looked at her watch. "Well, it's only three in the afternoon ... let's go get ice cream!"

"Ice cream sounds yummy!" Ellie exclaimed. "But ... Who is paying?"

"One, two, three, NOT IT!" Ariane shouted.

"NOT IT!" Ellie cried.

"Not--Oh, damn you kids." Kemp sighed and pulled out his wallet. "Where are we going?"

Ariane shrugged. "Golden spoon."

Kemp shook his head. "That shits expensive."

"Yes, but you lost."

He sighed. "Fine."

Ellie tried her best not to giggle, but they burst out anyhow. "Kemp is driving!" she taunted as she skipped out of the room, Ariane not far behind.

Kemp rolled his eyes. "That's a big fat duh."

Ariane and Ellie laughed and skipped down the hallway to the garage, where Kemp had his car parked. Kemp sighed as he followed the girls out the door.

"I wonder if we'll see Hermione?" Ellie asked Ariane as they got into the car.

"Hmm ... She's such a bookworm! I'd be amazed if she even left her room for anything besides to eat and pee."

"That's mean!" Ellie exclaimed. After a moment of thought, Ellie continued with, "But so true."

Kemp said to the girls as he started the car, "Oh, Hermione, that pretty girl with the curly brown hair?" Ellie and Ariane nodded. Kemp added, "She's hot."

Ellie and Ariane's jaws dropped. Ariane threw one of the blankets that was in the back at Kemp. "You perv!" She exclaimed as she and Ellie laughed.

Kemp shrugged. "I'm a guy. What do you want?"

"Maybe some courtesy."

"I'm buying ice cream. What more do you want?"

Ariane and Ellie sighed together. "Plus I doubt Hermione would leave her room to pee. She'd probably zap it into a cup."

Kemp gagged aloud. "Quiet! Too much information!" The girls giggled as Kemp revved the engine of his black Evolution which caused the girls to jump.

"Do you always have to do that?" Ellie exclaimed from the back seat.

Kemp smirked. "Hell yes." Ellie reached over and pinched Kemp on the side. With a yelp of pain, Kemp shouted, "All right! All right! Uncle! Uncle!"

With a smirk Ellie let go of Kemp's side and watched as he rubbed his side. Suddenly, a lively tune filled the air. It was Ellie's cell phone. When Ellie looked at her phone, it was a text message. It read:

From: Ron Weasley,

Message: E IAHNN EI338 3NHIEANUI93A.

Ariane peeked over Ellie's shoulder to peek at the message. "What does that mean? Do you guys have some sort of secret code now?" Ellie wrinkled her nose, but tried not to be surprised at Ariane's nosiness.

"It's a secret." Ellie said purposefully to annoy Ariane.

Ariane pouted and growled and finally shook Ellie's shoulders. "PLEASE!!!!"

Kemp continued to shake his head as he pulled out of the driveway. Kemp happened to have a lead foot, so he was naturally speeding down a 35 mph zone. He smirked to himself as his engine roared. It brought him great pleasure to hear that wonderful engine.

Ariane nearly shrieked as the car exploded forward. She gripped the seat cushion and clenched her teeth together. "Who said you could get your license?"

Kemp merely laughed aloud as he slid into a parking space in front of the ice cream shop. "We're here." Ariane slowly opened her door. Half of her body hung out, head down. She tried to hold in her lunch and breakfast, but it was too late for that now. "I hate you..."

Ellie chuckled with ease as she jumped out of the back seat. "You never did have a strong stomach."

Ellie's phone beeped again. This time, when she pulled out her phone to check the text message, she read it aloud with clarity.

From: Ron Weasley

Message: "Hey Ellie, sorry about that last message. My dad got a little too excited. We were just asking if you and Ariane were still coming to with us to the Quidditch World Cup."

"Oh, crap!" Ellie shouted. "I totally forgot! I'm supposed to grab Harry tomorrow. How am I going to get over there?"

Ariane pulled herself away from the car and followed them. She stood beside Ellie and shrugged. "You got any ideas Kemp?" Kemp rubbed his chin.

"Maybe one... My dad has an alternative portal... Not sure if it's been working lately..."

Ariane smiled. "That works. Doesn't it?"

Ellie pouted. "It sounds like a Floo network to me ..."

"He said portal, not Floo!" Ariane responded.

Ellie sighed. "I don't know ... I don't even know if I'm going. It's been kind of difficult lately, with all the rumors about--OH, CRAP. GET DOWN."

Ellie pulled Ariane and Kemp down to the ground just as a figure passed over their heads. Ariane almost passed out. When she could breathe again, she realized that the figure that passed above them gave her hair a slight trim.

"What's happening?!" She asked.

"Hello, Elyon." A voice spoke.

Kemp and Ariane looked up to see a pale character dressed in black. His hair was blond and his eyes were black.

"James." Ellie said calmly, with a hint of disdain in her voice. The man named James smirked, showing his pointed fangs.

"A vampire." Kemp muttered under his breath.

"A what?" Ariane began to say.

"I come not to attack you, Elyon. This time. Only to relay a message." James looked directly into Ellie's eyes and continued. "You're in for many surprises, Elyon. And Ariane." Ari glared up at James. James grinned and continued, "I'll see you soon."

With those last words, James seemed to disappear into thin air, but Ariane and Ellie knew that he was merely moving faster than the speed of light without breaking the sounds barrier. Ariane looked at Ellie and realized that her friend was clenching her teeth.

Ellie said gravely, "We have to leave. Now."

Kemp patted Ellie's shoulder. "Who was that?"

Ellie refused to look at Kemp as she replied. "That was a vampire named James. He is the one who killed my family. We have to get out of here."

Kemp felt his insides quiver. Apparently, Ellie didn't have a soft spot for vampires thanks to James.

"Get in the car." Ellie said more forcefully.

Ariane's eyes widened as she watched Kemp stiffly move to the car. "Oh dear." She muttered to herself.

Kemp bit his inner cheek as he revved his engine again. Ellie and Ariane muddled back into the car, but only Ariane seemed to notice his uneasiness.

"Where do you wanna go?" He asked finally, pulling out of the parking lot and driving for the sake of driving.

After five minutes of driving in silence, Ellie sighed and finally said, "Make a U-turn. We're going to Forks, Washington."
