Chapter 1: Annika POV
"Welcome to Night World High, I hope the school is the thing you need to help you learn of the night world history as well as controlling powers," the Barbie doll said at the front of the room. I could see she was eyeing all the guy and trying to pick out all the female vampires in the room see if there was any competition. Its a good thing I didn't drank any for a week or I might get the look if daggers or worse.
That's what normal happens in the human schools. I'm a normal night world girl. Long brown wavy hair and very dark green eye's that have a even darker green outline. You see. Envied by all the girls with or without blood. I just don't get it though I was nice girl to them cos I'm always nice. It was how I was brought up and they made it hell.
So my parent finally said they were going to sent me to "Night World High" the school for night people even though we're in Daybreak. Oh and your probably wondering, "If this girl is a vamp. How can she hold of the blood" well I'm only half, the other half is witch. So I'm gifted so to speak not like Ash Redfern or Thea Harman who are both. I'm a full half of each, mum's a witch, and dad's a vamp. They are my distant cousin's though.

Focusing back into the room many of the other new kids had gone. I looked around and saw the Barbie coming up to me. Oh hell I thought please not me again. Just wait until she hears your name said another voice in my head
"What's your name?" she said standing right in font of me. I have no escape.
"Its Annika Harman-Redfern" I said looking straight into her eyes.
"You don't look like a vamp. So you can't be a Redfern." The girl actually laughed at me. I turned ready to run and saw my older brother walking down to me with that massive grin on his face (He's a full blood vamp like jack. Dad wanted the sons to be vamps so he cut his wrist and let them drink when they were babies. Causing them not to have that much witch blood in them)
"YO sis, hay your finally here." He hugged me tight when sent and mind link to me I was on the phone with dad, he told me to tell you not to freak the weather. OK, cos I don't want to be scorched again and dad wanted normal weather for a change he said through it.
Jonathan you know as well as I do I can't control the weather if I'm not a vamp. And it the moment I not cos I haven't drank a single drop of blood since last week. Proud of me? dad told me not to tell anyone about my powers in the school. So I replied to him through the link.
"Wait a minute, you mean to tell me. She is your sister Johnny." The Barbie cut in.
"Yep to both questions. My favourite little sister." Replied Jonathan shaking his head.
"Only sister" I said under my breath.
"But your not a Harman are you?" she ask. By the Goddess this one is thick. You sure have a way to choose them you know. I sent the thought to him. He looked at me and shook his head again, smiling.
Not my fault they all love me. He replied
"Yes but I have more vamp than witch inside, that's what dad says anyway, it also the reason me and Jack don't have the Harman name. And Annika is half and half and very strong either way so do me a favour and don't mess with her cos you'll have me to deal with and jack. We stick together. Got it Dixie" the Barbie nodded then under her breath said "your luck he and jack are your brothers"

Turning around I walked quickly down the hall to where I though my lesson was. Good thing it was English. I walked into the classroom walked to the teacher "Ah" he said reading the note the principal give me. He told me to give to all my teachers.
"So you are Miss Harman-Redfern," a lot of the student in the room gasped. I guess its because I'm like royalty, in both the witches and the vamp's eyes.
"Yes sir I am" he looked at me and nodded.
"will anyone like to help Miss Harman-Redfern around today with her being new." With that everyone hands flu into the air waving.
"Well Miss would you like to choose or shall I" the teacher said looking at me with sharp eyes.
"You please. I don't know anyone" I replied.
"Isabel Abforth. Will you be willing to show her around" sir looked at the girl in the sit near the front.
"Yes sir. I would be honoured" the girl said back.
"Well miss find your seat this is English after all and you may need this" he handed me a book "Tennyson poems. The penguin poets" good job I've read them all already and actually like them. Walking to my seat next to Isabel I think her name is. I saw that everyone was watching me. I sighed and sat down.
"Open the book to page 76. Would anyone like to read the poem" I looked around and saw that there were many student who wanted to read so why did I get the feeling he was going to choose me. "Miss Harman-Redfern would you read the poem"
"Yes sir I will
The Eagle
He clasps the crags with crooked hand;
Close to the sun in lovely lands,
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain wall,
And like a thunderbolt he fall."
"Very good, now do you know when this book was publish without looking in the book"
"1941 during the 2nd world war in England. It was for the men and women in the forces to read when they were in the post office, the book use to stay there. So they could lift they hearts when they read it. To keep the hope alive is that a good answer cos I have more, sir"
"No that was ok"
For the rest of the lesson the teacher stop picking one me and went on to the boy's in the room who were looking at me more when doing the work. So it was a win win for him anyway.
Finally the bell went and I had cooking next, cool something I like. "Eh… Unity I'm Isabel. The one sir told to look after you today and I'm also your roommate here while your at the school."
"Unity. Cool your a witch" she nodded "'Abforth' means all-bringing-forth doesn't it" I said she seem like a cool girl to hang around with and I like her already so lets see shall we.
"Yeah it doses. It good to know at lest one witch knows what my last name actually means. Maybe sir should have given you a more popular student. You know your going to be pretty popular you know the whole Harman name and Redfern I mean your royalty to vamp's and the witches." Isabel said sighing.
"Hay don't worry, I don't want to be popular. Their bitches well they were at the human school I was there until I was kick out cos they blamed it on me" I sighed,
"Haden we better get to the cooking block," I said
"We're already here, we were walking and talking." Isabel said "we're a lot a like you and me. I do that sometime when I talk I forget that I can walk at the same time."
"Yeah maybe we are. Friends" I said holding out my hand.
"Friend" Isabel replied tacking my hand. Then treading her arm through mine "come on then Annie we're going to be late"
I have a friend, a real friend and a nickname Annie yeah I like it. Funny that was the name Lu called me. "Lead the way Izzy." She turned her head and smiled at me, it was a nice smile. Not an evil one, which I normally get. It was nice.

We walked into the room and the teacher came up to me she looked familiar. "Mrs Beech. This is the new girl Annika Harman-Redfern" the teacher looked at me and smiled then I remembered to give her the note. She read it and looked me up and down.
"What we doing today Miss cos I'm getting boring" and boy at the front called. That snapped her attention to the rest of the class.
"Today class we are going to make desserts. Any you choose. Now you may start." She walked back to me and said "If you want you can help Miss Abforth for today"
Then she turned and walked to her desk at the front. Some teacher I thought that the teachers here were fun not this boring. I looked to the clock then to the door and then the window.
"Looking for the escape already. I did that on my first day I all may class's" Izzy said next to me.
"How long have we got to go cos I know a great dessert." I said to Izzy.
" 1 hour but I was told you into blood I thought" she said back
"Yes I do like blood and that helps me use my vampire powers but most of the time I like to be witch cos you know I have the option and it is nice not to have the inhuman beauty." I said back with a smile. "To many of the girl got jealous so I stopped with the blood on the plus side I'm left alone on the down I have no vamp powers." I said this to her while I was preparing the Mississippi mud pie.
"Whaooooo. What you cooking?" Izzy asked amazed.
"Mississippi mud pie" I answered. "Yeah I hate that to" I said to Izzy who was looking at Dixie.
Dixie was flirting with this guy who seemed not to be interested in her. She was using all the tricks in the book and the guy was just ignoring her. Yes by the Goddess. Normal I'm not like this, normal I would just ignore a bitch like her. It was the guy, he look so dreamy brown hair, dark blue eye.
Izzy nudge me and I remembered about the pie. Bending over quickly to get the pie out of the oven, I bumped heads with Izzy. We both turned and looked at each other. She looked scared but it was fun how it happened with the bump so I started to laugh. Izzy looked at me and started to laugh when she saw me holding my head.
"Ow… that hurt," I said getting out the pie. "Funny but it hurt." then I looked Izzy in the eye's "Isabel there's no need to be scare of me I'm just like any other witch from circle Daybreak." Her voice became a gasp but I could tell she was a Daybreaker too by the black sun outline on her hand.
"You're in Daybreak. I mean… sorry of course your in Daybreak so am I. it just I never expect you to actually be in it. I thought you would have been in circle twilight instead." She looked at me and tried to smile. "Look I'm sorry it just..."
She sighed "… I only got told that I was a witch a year ago and I'm still getting use to it. And in the history class they said that a Harman witch that was also a Redfern never went into Daybreak. It was mostly Midnight, or twilight at least. I know it sounds stupid but I was scared of you."
"Its ok, people mostly are. Do want some of this pie then?" I said a little uncomfortable and then I cut the pie into eight equal slices.
"Miss Harman-Redfern I see you can bake very well. Would you mind if I try a slice?" Mrs Beech said looking at the pie, her mouth looked like it was ready to watering.
"Yeah if you want to Miss but this is only the second time I've bake it so don't know if it's any good" I replied.
"Aw come on Annie. It looks amazing" Izzy said taking a large mouthful, she groaned "Annie this taste amazing too. Aw man! you're an amazing cook. Can you cook anything else" everyone was looking at me I just nodded while the rest of the pie was devoured by the class.
Even Dixie tried it then she just went to the bin to spit it out. Bitch. By the time the whole pie was gone the bell for lunch went. Izzy grabbed me by the arm and hurdled me to the cafeteria.

"I was thinking with the way that Dixie was looking at you I thought you might need this." Izzy said handing me a flask. I looked at her with the question in my mind.
"What is it?" I said in a whisper. It was a stupid question I know but I had to be sure.
"Just drink it when she gets here so she doesn't now the difference so much. You see Dixie try to starts fights with all the Harman's. it just the way she is but she's strong to very strong. I just wanted you ready for when she comes that all" Izzy said.
"Thank you" I sniffed and swallowed my tears
"Your not going to cry are you" she ask with a laugh
"I haven't had a friend like you that's all" I looked around the room and saw the guy who shrugged of Dixie carrying his tray with some other guy and girl coming in our direction of the table. "Hey Izzy! Who's he"
"Wait and you will find out. He is new though started last week and that's all I will tell you for now"
"Hey Isabel. Who's new," the other guy said to Izzy. While dreamy just sat down opposite me and started to eat his food.
"Annika this is my boyfriend Daniel Madder." Izzy said in an introductive voice. Gesturing with her arms "Daniel this is Annika Harman-Redfern" he looked at me in shock.
"I though there was only two Redfern's because it wasn't safe here." I look at him in alarm. Not safe what the hell is that meant to mean.
"It not safe at the human school either so I think I'll take my chances here. Plus my brothers are here" I said to the guy.
"Wait a minute, did you say Harman Isabel?" The other girl said at Izzy's side. "You mean the school has a real Harman"
"Annie this is Emily she's a witch to" I nodded
"Hi. Sorry it just a honour to meet a Harman I mean your family is like our princess'. Why you with us though. You should be in the popular group."
"Look I don't want to be rude but I hate when people give me special treatment cos of the two last name's. I didn't ask to be born into the family and I didn't ask for the powers either. I just wanted friend who like me because of me not the name."
"I know how you feel" dreamy said looking at me.
"Sorry" both Daniel and Emily said at the same time although I think Daniel was talking to dreamy.
"Oh, Annie this is Lucian Drache. Might have met his brother Galen." Izzy said
"Yeah I have. He's nice." I said. True was his soulmate Keller taught me to fight a how to stay strong.
"Incoming bitch" Emily said. I looked in the direction that Emily was looking in. she was right Dixie was coming straight to the table. I looked at Izzy with my hand undoing the flask lid. She nodded.
"Why if it isn't Johnny's and jack's little sister" Dixie said. She was talking while I was drinking. Man did it feel good to have my powers back. When I finished I kept my head down so she could see the change in my face.
"Whatever Dixie. Go away" I said back I heard a lot of gasps coming from the room. I guessed that people didn't tell her to go away often.
"Listen you bitch I'm the queen of the school not you" she said this as she lunged for my hair.

Who going to win the fight I wonder? And what's up with Lucian.
