Hello everyone! As promised, Book 2 is here!

By the way, this story involves a romance between a male OC of mine, and one of the girls. At first, I couldn't decide who I should pair him with, so I gave the option to my readers to decide. Since 89OX was the only one who suggested something to me about it, I will be going with that choice.

Thank you again, 89OX.

Everyone else…I still love you all.

Chapter 1

The sounds of the carnival boomed around her. People talking and laughing, the sound effects of the games, and, much to her dismay, the irritating, constant music. From her hiding place in the darkness between two of the game zones, the girl pulled up the collar of her long, black leather coat.

She reached into one of the pockets, pulling out her Guardian Sword. She flinched as she flicked her wrist to get the sword to its proper size, gritting her teeth to bite back a shout of pain. Her right hand, which was unfortunately her dominant hand, had been injured in a fight, and had difficulty recovering.

Pull yourself together, Leah. Her eyes scanned around her, searching for any signs of her enemy. Tightening her grip on the sword, she murmured, "Come on Genevieve…where are you?" It still baffled her why a powering being like her would come to a carnival of all places.

All of a sudden, she saw something out of the corner of her eye. An animal of some kind, had just jumped onto the roof of one of the covered game zones. The animal, she noticed, had landed in the perfect position to quickly pounce if it needed to.

Leah smirked. Gotcha. Quickly, she moved from her hiding place, the Guardian Sword clasped in her aching right hand. She pushed through the crowd, occasionally glancing up at the mysterious animal.

Suddenly, she noticed that a group of boys were staring at her, mouths gape. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She knew that boys found her attractive. Honestly though? I don't give a fuck.

One of the boys called out to her, "Hey cutie! Wanna go somewhere?!"

Leah growled, not making eye contact, "No." Her sixth sense warned her that the boy was getting closer, so she turned. Glowering, the girl sneered, "Piss off."

The boy's expression darkened, and the other boys that had been with him, inched closer. All of a sudden, the boy that was obviously the leader, flashed a charming grin at her. "Well, then perhaps you can simply feed me instead" he replied smoothly.

The black haired girl narrowed her eyes, "What?" she snarled, body tensing. Her answer soon came. The main boy let out an animalistic snarl, and bared…fangs. Leah rolled her eyes. Oh joy. She smirked, "So, not only are you guys a bunch of pricks, but you're a bunch of vampire pricks" she drawled.

The vampire boys growled at her once more, before attacking. The main vampire moved with supernatural speed, but Leah managed to slice off his head with her Guardian Sword, in once swift strike. She did not look afraid, she actually looked…board. "I didn't want to have to do that," she told the other vampires, "But he attacked me."

The group of vampires advanced on her. The girl, however, easily either decapitated them, or snapped their necks, or tore off their heads. Once she was sure that there were no more of them, Leah sighed. Great. Now how to I get rid of them? I can't have vampire bodies lying around.

Spying a large portion of sunlight shinning through the trees surrounding the carnival, she shrugged. That'll do. Tossing the bodies into the sunlight, they almost instantly burned to a crisp. Fortunately, pre-killed vampires burned faster in sunlight then those who were alive.

Leah whirled around, expecting to see a crowd of shocked people staring at her. But, to her surprise and relief…absolutely no one had noticed. She raised her eyebrows. Seriously?! Nobody even looked for a second?! You'd think that a fight, followed by decapitated bodies, would make at least someone look!

All of a sudden, the events before the fight rushed back to her. She gasped, and her gaze flickered to where the mysterious animal had been. It was gone. Leah clenched her hands into tight fists, "Fuck! Oh fucking hell! How did I let her get away!?" she told herself in rage. I can't believe I let a bunch of vampires ruin my chance to get Genevieve!

All of a sudden, out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone watching her. He was dressed in casual clothing, which did not really surprise her. After all, this isn't exactly the Queen's wedding or anything. She shrugged it off. He probably hadn't seen anything, and he looked pretty harmless.

The girl kept walking, now fuming with herself. "How could I have let her get away!? I've been after her for three years for God's sake! She always manages to flip through my fingers. Stupid sneaky bitch" she muttered.

Leah suddenly felt something, and fleetingly glanced beside her. He's following me. The guy from before. She growled under her breath. She had no time or patience for anyone following her. The girl pretended to go to one of the carnival game zones, which was the closest to where the stranger hid from her. He hid in the darkness in between two game zones, like she had.

Leah barely payed attention to the fact that she was next in line. She kept glancing at the strange boy. He was only a few millimetres taller than her, and slim. Leah, deeming herself close enough to him, lunged at him from the line.

She clasped a hand onto his sleeve and dragged him to the back of one of the game zones. This particular zone had a solid back wall, so she slammed him against it by the collar of his shirt. Leah sneered, her body instinctively tensing, "Why the hell are you following me?!"

He glowered at her, "I don't have to tell you anything" he answered. He sounded seventeen, and his voice was smooth, but slightly husky as well.

The black haired girl growled, "Yeah. You kind of do."

He sighed heavily and ran a hand through his short auburn hair. "I saw you fight off those evil vampires. Nice moves, by the way" he answered. Then, he added, "Not all vampires are evil, though."

Leah, if she was shocked, did not show it. Instead, she snarled, "That still doesn't explain why you were following me."

He did not reply. Instead, the boy stepped into the light, and Leah sucked in a breath. He was handsome, with a kind, mischievous grin, pale skin, and light blue eyes. She shook her head. For God's sake, quit thinking about that!

The boy responded, "I wanted to make sure you were safe."

Leah scoffed, "I'm pretty sure I can take of myself. Who are you, anyway?" she asked coldly. Who the fuck does this guy think he is!? I'm not some damsel in distress!

He smiled slightly, "I'm Aaron Chateau," his smile faded to a look of seriousness, "And I'm not so sure you know exactly how dangerous beings like Genevieve are" he replied.

The girl shook her head, "Well, I don't need any," she looked at him in shock, "Wait…what?"

…

What?! He knows about Genevieve!?

Please review everyone! I love reviews!

Did you like the first chapter? What do you think about Aaron? Is Leah the badass that I tried to make her? Please answer all of these as best you can!

Bye for now,
