I do not own anything you recognise from the Vampire Diaries. Ohh, I got my first revieww yayyy!! :oP Thankyouuu

I had finally decided what to wear after half an hour of deliberation. I had put on a pair of dark gray combats, a black wife-beater, my denim jacket and black converse. Easy to fight in I had thought.

Amber and I had different classes so we both set off in search of where the classes actually were.

Chapter 2: Unexpected (and unwanted) Surprise

My first class was English and I hadn't a clue where to go. On the other side of the corridor, there was a nice looking guy with blonde hair stood at his locker. I decided to take the plunge and go and ask him where to find my class.

I slowly strolled over to him and lightly tapped him on the shoulder. He jumped - I didn't realise I had been doing my stealth walk, I mustn't have made a sound and totally scared the crap outta him.

"Wow, you scared me there!" he exclaimed, calming down his breathing.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just wanted to ask you if you knew where I could find this class," I leaned over to him with my sheet and pointed it out to him.

"Yeah...just go straight on down the hall, take a left, and then your class is second on the right." he smiled.

"Thanks...it's so confusing starting a new school."

"I'm Matt," he held out his hand. I shook it.

"Max. Well, actually it's Maxine but I prefer Max." I smiled awkwardly.

"Yeah, well Max, you're gonna miss you're class..."

"Oh, yeah." I mumbled and then began walking the way he had directed me.

"Don't go sneaking up on anybody!" He called after me.

I laughed and speed walked to class.

When I opened the class-room door, everybody turned to stare at me. I silently stepped inside and shut it behind me, looking expectantly at the teacher.

The teacher was a friendly looking man, just a bit taller than myself. He guided me to a seat towards the back of the room and then continued on with the lesson.

I took a look around. Everybody looked bored or uninterested and was either resting their head on their hands and staring into space, or doodling on some paper.

Sat opposite me, was a boy, wearing the most unusual but pretty ring I had ever seen. It was a large blue stone and it shined as the light hit it at different angles. The boy himself wasn't bad looking. He had a pale complexion and green eyes. His brown hair was slightly spiky and he was quite muscular.

After a while my mind drifted off onto pointless subjects such as what would happen if you put a mobile phone in the microwave. I started to think about Amber and if she was getting on okay. Of course she would be...she was always the first to make friends.

Suddenly, the bell rang and it was time to embark on another journey to find my next class.

At the end of the day, I found Amber and we drove home talking about friends we'd made (on my part, none) and planning out our patrol route for that night. When I say 'patrol route' I mean, which of us would be in what area's of Fells church at what times - keeping an eye out for any suspicious bodies.

We ate, got dressed in our patrol wear, Amber in a tight, shiny, leather jumpsuit - red. Me clad in a jumpsuit also, but the leather was sort of dulled and it wasn't tight but kind of loose. I fasted the laces on my boots, they had heels but they were only small - easy to fight in, and did my hair in one big plait.

"Hey Max...could you get me my dagger? It's in the little zippy compartment, I've got everything else." Amber called from downstairs. I went to the cupboard and fished it out. I grabbed mine too since I would probably be needing it.

"Amber!" I shouted down the stairs, "Come here! I've got it!"
She ran to the bottom of the stairs and held her hand out. I threw the dagger - it went spiralling through the air...then landed safely into Ambers waiting hand. She winked at me, yelled bye and then slammed the door shut behind her as she walked out.

I safely tucked my dagger into my waist strap and then one into each of my leg holsters. It was better to be safe than sorry right? I'd bet that Amber only went out with one dagger and her gun. As I said...reckless. Finally, I grabbed my gun (armed with wooden bullets, ha, take that bloodsuckers!) and ran out of the door to start patrolling.

The night was cool and breezy. The moon was full and cast and eerie glow on the streets of Fells Church. I was tempted to go back and get a jacket, but I didn't want to miss anything.

Unfortunately, it seemed that I didn't have anything to worry about. I'd seen more movement from a dead rodent. Believe me.

Suddenly, I saw the boy who sat opposite me in English. He was crossing the street, quite a distance away from me and looked like he was in a hurry. Me, being me, decided to be nosey and follow him.

He walked swiftly through a small patch of woods and then over to the boarding house. I thought he had caught sight of me once or twice but he shrugged it off.
When he was inside, no lights were turned on and there was no movement from within, which I thought was strange. Since there was nothing else to do, I thought I would take a look around the outside of the house. Yes, I know I sound like a complete stalker but it was a new area...and I may of thought the boy was just a tad gorgeous.

Ambling around to the rear of the house, I stopped dead in my tracks.

Through the trees I could see my sister...she was coming out from her concealment in the woods, towards a dark figure stood on the grass in front of the boarding house. Slowly and hypnotically, she headed in the direction of the masculine figure. What was she doing? This could complicate everything! Then the thought hit me. My sister was reckless - but she wasn't this reckless. It was one of them. It was a vampire, and it was making her do what she was doing!

Thinking fast, I strided forward, whipping out my gun, and shot at the vampiric form.

"Amber!" I yelled with all of the strength I could muster, and ran towards her as fast as I could. She looked down at the figure that had fell to the floor when I had shot it. Confused, she shook her head.

"Max?" she called hesitantly, "What's going on?"

"Get back! It's recovering!"

As soon as I had said that, the vampire jumped to it's feet and threw my sister into the trees. I heard the thump as she hit the ground.

I fired the gun at the vampire - but he was suddenly in front of me.
