The Girl

As Mason watched her drive away he couldn't understand what had possessed him to talk to her and to try to get to know her, he knew the rules he wasn't supposed to get close to anyone at any of his schools and it had never been a problem before now he never felt the need to be around humans in fact he mainly avoided contact with them at school they were all too tempting.

Something was different about this girl he could sense great sadness from her, he could tell that she had been broken in more ways than one, what is it about you, why am I so interested he thought to himself. He walked to his midnight blue Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet and drove home. He knew that he would need to feed tonight if he was going to spend a day with that girl what an idiot I am I didn't ask her name or tell her mine I ran in to my kitchen and grabbed three bags of blood even though I knew that drinking at this rate would mean I would run out of blood faster, he knew he would have to ring the main house and request for more sooner than he would have wanted to and if they found out about what he was planning on doing and they would force him to go back or kill the girl, he was going to have to be careful.

He sat down in front of his laptop while he was drinking his blood and checked his emails and as he had expected he had one from the main house re-explaining all of the rules he would have to follow, he was going to break the first and most important rule on that list. The best thing about not needing sleep was that he could use those hours to do research, Mason normally used it to find out the backgrounds of his teachers and important people in the area that he was living so he could keep himself out of trouble but tonight he had something more important to research, he was going to find out who Miss Lost really was and see if he could try and find out some things about what might have made her the way that she is, he liked her the she was but he knew that she was broken and needed to be fixed he also knew that no one else in this town was going to do it.

He went on to Google but couldn't remember what to type in then he remembered what that horrid teacher had said in the classroom about her friend committing suicide and so he typed in 'female suicide in Finley NSW Australia' he then skimmed through the results until he found one about a girl named Kerry he opened it and started to read 'earlier today the body of 15 year old Kerry Vitro was found in her room she had died from blood loss her wrists had been slit the big question is why there was no blood in the room. Her best friend 15 Opal Lost was the one who found the body she had gone to the house to work on a project with Kerry as of yet she hasn't spoken to anyone about it she screamed which alerted Kerry's parents to what had happened. It is still unknown why Kerry killed herself, her parents say that she was a happy girl with lots of friends she was doing well in school which was backed up by her teachers.' Well that explains a lot Mason couldn't believe what he had just found out Opal and her friend, he now didn't believe that it was suicide but he had no proof not that he was going to go out of his way to find out.

He had one day to prove to Opal that it would be a good idea for them to be friends even though he knew it would be dangerous for them to even talk to each other but for some reason he didn't want to be sensible he didn't want to follow the rules and her advice he wanted to pretend that he was normal and could do what he wanted without the rules of the main house pulling him down. He looked over at the clock and saw that it was 5:30 I guess I should get ready for school Mason decided to be himself today instead of trying to blend in he put on his black jeans, I am Ghost band shirt and combat boots before deciding he would walk to school, he looked at the clock again and it was 8:30 where had the time gone he started his walk to school even though it was on the other side of town he knew that he would get there on time.

As he was walking he saw Opal driving to school so she also tries to avoid human contact and yet she is human herself, he started to run human speed he so that he didn't give anyone a chance to figure out that he wasn't human, he wanted to meet Opal at her car after all he only had one day to get her to accept him so he needed to use as much of it as possible. He reached her car just as she was getting out "good morning, I didn't introduce myself yesterday and I apologise for that, my name is Mason Wolf, and yours is?" she gave him a half smile so maybe she didn't mind the idea of gaining a friend and yet she was hesitant about it almost as if she thought he would get hurt just for knowing her he would need to discover why that was "I'm Opal Lost, but I think you already know that after all everyone warns the new kids about me, I'm the problem child of the town and they wouldn't want you tainted" she sounded as if she was proud about what they thought of her like she had gone out of her way to become like that "your wrong no one warned me about you well the English teacher said something about you being disrespectful and a distraction but I ignored her because well she didn't seem like a very respectful person herself let alone trustworthy" Mason couldn't help but smile because Opal started laughing at his comment "fair enough, maybe you aren't as bad as I thought you were, what class do you have first?" so he was getting to her, she had become interested in him "I have art with Miss Bailey, you?"
