Yay! Chapter two! I don't own Vampire Academy, so don't ask! I hope you enjoy. R&R (not the alcoholic drink)! Oh, and another thing, I was stupid enough to not save my document on Chpt 1, so most of it was cut off. I am so sorry for my only reviewer that you hadn't gotten to read the rest of it. I apologize! Please don't think bad of me! The words in italics are the last bits of Chapter one, because as I said before, I was stupid and didn't save the progress of my story and it was cut off.

Blushing slightly, I lifted my hand from hers. Damn her skin was soft. Wait, what am I thinking? She's clearly with Eddie, I've seen them kiss, but why was I so envious of him? I was with Lissa, but I couldn't help but stare at her during class.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, all I need is a band-aid," she said, removing her finger from the paper towel and searching the drawers for a bandage. When she finally found one, she unwrapped it and wound it around her finger, continuing her work. I sighed, not knowing why. I didn't like her, I didn't love her. She was only my friend, but in the back of my mind, there were different emotions.

Amaya's POV

I continue my cookies after the finger thing, starting the batter after finishing the gumdrops and putting them to the side. Sighing, I placed the amount of salt the recipe needed, not knowing why I sighed.

The bell rang right as I took the batch out of the oven, setting them on a plate. Next, was lessons with Rose's mentor, Dimitri. I walked in, removing my shawl and tossing it on a bench.

"Welcome, Amaya," he greeted. I just nodded, wondering what we were going to do.

"Whaddya got for me today old man?" I asked. He seemed somewhat offended when I said 'old man', which made me chuckle.

"Laps," he said. I nodded, jogging to the track and stretching. Sighing, I spread my legs a little, bending over and wrapping an arm around each of them.

"I see you," I called, looking at him from my position. Unlike Rose, I only had a brother-sister relationship with him. He just rolled his eyes, motioning for me to hurry up.

After I finished my stretches, Dimitri got a stopwatch as I walked to the starting point of the track.

"Go," he said, pressing the button. I took off, wanting to get my usual three laps in faster than last time. Once I finished the first one, I picked up the pace, following the tip Dimitri had given me. Take the first lap easy, then gradually get faster with each lap so you don't tire yourself out so quickly.

"Damn," I shouted as I tripped. I was fortunate to not fall, so I kept going. Today was not my day. The second lap was easy enough, it would have been easier if I hadn't tripped, but it was good enough.

"One more lap," Dimitri said, but it sounded like a blur, if you could hear a blur.

I picked up the pace, shooting a B-line. My lungs were burning, but I didn't care, if I could finish, I would be happy. My feet faulted as I felt my shoe fly off. Well damn. Life can be a bitch, can't it? Soon the other one flew off, leaving me in my socks.

After both shoes were gone, I wanted to finish faster, so I forced my legs to go faster than I thought possible. Once I finished, I retrieved my shoes, tugging them on. Dimitri tossed me a Dasani water bottle, and I opened it and chugged it down.

I looked at my time, 58.03. That's three seconds faster than my fastest time. Grinning, I sat down on a bench, using a towel to wipe my face. Once I got over my exhaustion, I noticed I still had an hour and a half left.

"Dimitri, let's see how strong I am," I suggested, getting up. He nodded, walking over to a padded area. I followed, almost bouncing with energy now. I looked at him and raised an eyebrow, asking tauntingly, "Whatcha got, old man?"

"This," he said, smirking. He jumped at me, swinging an arm at my face. I caught it, swinging my leg and kicking his side.

"Your tricks are so old," I complained, punching him in the cheek.

"I'd like to see you do be- oof," he said, but getting cut off when my foot made contact with his stomach.

"That good enough?" I asked, jumping when he made a move to trip me. He didn't answer, I guess he was too concentrated.

We both jumped when the bell rang, making me laugh that somethings could even make Dimitri startled. I got my shawl, draped it over my shoulders, and heading to next class.

The rest of the day went by in a blur, even lunch. When I went to the lounge where usually no one was, I was surprised to see Eddie there. He was sitting on the couch, reading some history book.

"Glad to see you survived the day," he called over his shoulder.

"You know it," I told him, walking over and sitting next to him. He shut his book, setting it on the coffee table and wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I relaxed, replaying the shoe incident in my head and unwillingly giggling.

"What's so funny?" he demanded.

"Nothing, just both of my shoes flew off of my feet while I was running," I said, giggling even more. Eddie laughed, murmering somthing about only I could do something like that. I was compleatly oblivious that Christian was right outside the door, staring at me.

Christian's POV

I stood at the doorway, staring at Amaya.

"What's so funny?" Eddie demanded when he heard Amaya giggling.

"Nothing, just both of my shoes flew off my feet while running," she replied, thus giggling more. I sighed, though very silently.

"Only you could do something like that," Eddie murmered, though I had to listen closely to hear it. Damn, what was with me lately? Why the hell do I do this? I sighed, walking to my dorm.

I hated doing this to myself, besides, I'm with Lissa and I love her. Amaya's with Eddie and loves him, so I don't know why I do this. Was it the way she's always to class right when her name is called? Or is it just because I'm phyco? Whichever it is, I will never know.

I opened the door, walking in and shutting it behind me and sailing onto my bed. Fiddling with my Ipod, I got the earbuds in my ears and turned the music up loud, closing my eyes.

Rose's POV

Damn it, I know what's going on with Christian, but why the hell don't I beat some sense into him? Lissa has noticed it too, when those two were hanging out, I'd get confusion and somewhat sadness from the bond.

I wish I knew what Christian was thinking... Lissa thought from the bond. I nodded, knowing Lissa wouldn't know my reaction. I bet I'm still in deep shit from my Strigoi killing... and Mason's death. If he wasn't such an idiot... if he would have just listened! But no! He had to try to be the hero and get himself killed!

"Mason you idiot!" I screamed, not meaning to.

I buried my face in my pillow, feeling the case become wet from tears. I also screamed in my pillow, but it came out as a semi-loud 'MMMPH!'

"Rose?" Lissa called from my dorm room. I got up, opening the door and letting her in. Immediatly she saw my red rimmed eyes and concern was surging from the bond. "Rose, what happened?"

"It's nothing, just thinking about Mason," I told her, rubbing my eyes with my arm. "He was an idiot."

"It wasn't your fault," she soothed. I nodded, still feeling guilty.

Amaya's POV

It was getting pretty close to cerfew, so I decided to head up to my room. I figured I might as well visit Christian, sinse I heard him sigh and walk away.

"Christian, open up," I called, knocking on his dorm room door. When I didn't hear anything, I knocked harder. "Christian open the God damn door before I kick it in!"

Christian's POV

I heard knocking on my door but it was faint.

"Christian, it's me," I heard Amaya call from outside the door. I turned the volume up, trying to block the sound out. When the knocking got louder, I turned my Ipod off. "Christian open the God damn door before I kick it in!"

I groaned and got up, tossing my Ipod on the bed. Opening the door, I saw Amaya glaring and her leg raised, ready to kick the door in.

"Whaddya want?" I asked, ready to slam the door in her face.

"Why the hell were you just standing outside the lounge?" she demanded. I rolled my eyes and shut the door, but she put her foot inbetween the door and the doorframe. "Answer me, damn it."

"I don't really know, so give it a rest," I semi-shouted.

"I don't believe you," she said, and I heard the light thud of her head resting on the door. "Just tell me."

"It... it's none of your buisness," I said, but opening the door and letting her in. "But my question is... why are you here?"

"That's none of your buisness," she answered mockingly. "We could possibly work on your compulsion. It sucks."

I shrugged, my compulsion always sucked. Big whoop.

"I guess." I sat on my bed, her sitting in the wooden chair.

"Besides, I need to work on my own. Mine isn't that much better than yours," she smirked, looking me strait in the eye. "Slap yourself."

My vision became more of a blur. She was using compulsion, but seriously? Slapping myself? Soon enough, my body didn't cooperate and my arm lifted, my hand making contact with a cheek. After that, I broke free from the compulsion and looked in her eyes, trying my best to use compulsion.

"Let me try something easy. Stretch your arms," I said, not thinking of anything else. Her eyes looked dazed, and her arms raised a little, but then her eyes snapped back and arms dropped. Damn.

"No offence, but you fucking suck," she said, laughing.

"None taken," I sighed.

Amaya's POV

Jeez, I never knew a Moroi who couldn't even make someone stretch. I glanced over at his clock, seeing it was cerfew.

"Oh, damn," I said, almost falling facefirst out of my chair. I rushed out of his room, opening my door and almost literally flying onto my bed. Now that I was in the safety of my dorm, I got up and put on some clothes to sleep in, taking off my current clothes and putting on a spandex T-shirt and spandex shorts. Ah, the comfort of almost plastic clothing.

I couldn't help but look out the window and see that the sun had gone compleatly down, but I noticed three figures moving. One looked right at me, it was a man. He had very pale skin and... holy shit. He was a Strigoi.

I had to alert the others, but I needed proof. I had no cameras, so I couldn't photograph them. Damn! Damn it all! I slowly backed away from the window, and the Strigoi man came bursting through it. I let out an ear piercing scream, which would have sounded like hell to other dhampirs and the Strigoi himself.

"Shut up," he barked, grabbing my neck, apparantly trying to rend me unconcious. I smirked, I was a fire user, or at least as I was aware of. I gripped his arm, feeling fire igniting. He yelped and threw me against a wall, making me hit my head.

"Rose! Eddie! Anyone!" I shrieked, glancing at the door. The Strigoi walked closer to me, showing his fangs. I tried as best as I could to make myself smaller or something but to no avail, so I tried to use the 'help button' or, screaming. "Strigoi! Strigoi!"

Christian's POV

"Strigoi! Strigoi!" I heard Amaya schreech. Jeez, she can sure scream loud. Nontheless, if a Strigoi was in the school, it needed to be taken care of. I rushed out of my room, despite me only in pajama pants.

I wasn't alone in rushing to Amaya's dorm, Dimitri was soon at my side, stake ready.

"Do ya think maybe Amaya should get one of those?" I asked him, running ahead of him.

"Not until she graduates," he muttered. I nodded, kicking the door in like she had threatened to do so a few minutes ago. A male Strigoi had his fangs poised over her neck, restraining her.

"Move and I snap her pretty little neck," he threatened. I froze, not knowing why. Dimitri did as well, though it was his job to protect Moroi.

"Get your damn face away from me," Amaya muttered, bringing her hand back and bringing it across his face. She then locked eyes with him, I'm supposing for compulsion. "Stay still."

Damn, she was dancing with the devil, trying to compulse a Strigoi. His eyes glazed over, becoming dazed. He became still, still in a daze.

Amaya got behind him, jumping on him and snapping his neck, along with ripping it clean off.

"That's one molnija mark for me," she said triumphetly. Dimitri stared at her in astonishment, as did I.

"Holy shit," I breathed. "Amaya, you just compulsed a fucking Strigoi. That's almost impossible."

"Holy hell, she did?" Rose asked from behind me.

Amaya's POV

"Holy shit," Christian said breathlessly. "Amaya, you just compulsed a fucking Strigoi. That's almost impossible."

"Holy hell, she did?" Rose asked, walking from behind Christian. I nodded, but now there was no time for gawking and such, Strigoi were on the loose.

"Well, now isn't the time and place, more Strigoi are coming," I said, pushing Dimitri aside and rushing to the Elementary wing of St. Vlad's.

"Hello Amaya," greeted one of the third grade teachers.

"Get every student in a windowless room, Strigoi are running through the school," I said urgently. She looked at me in disbelief for a moment, but then nodded and turned to gather all the students.

"Damn dhampoi," another Strigoi said behind me. Dhampoi? What the hell was a dhampoi?

I locked eyes with him, trying to get the compulsion going.

"Stay still," I ordered. His eyes glazed over, going into a daze. He froze, and I smirked, though feeling exhausted and... kinda depressed. I leapt at him, snapping his neck and ripping his head off.

"Dhampoi," another one muttered, yanking me away from the one I had killed and shoving me against a wall. It was a woman, men were getting old. Her fangs penetrated my neck, making my head spin. Damn endorphins. She was drawing my blood, I could tell by how weak my body was becoming. And why the hell was all of the Strigoi calling me a 'dhampoi'? My depression was leaving me, and I was glad for that. Shit, now my body was going limp, and the damn endorphins were making me uncapable of moving. Double shit.

"Tell me this, why do you call me 'dhampoi'?" I asked. She removed her fangs from my neck, smirking.

"That is what you are. Dhampir nor Moroi, so you are a dhampoi," she answered, continuing on with her work with my blood.

She let out a blood curdling scream-partially because she had blood in her mouth-then her eyes went blank and she fell. Rose stood there, pulling a silver stake out of the Strigoi. I seemed high from the endorphins, but tried to stay up.

"Holy shi- whooa," I began, but then became woozy and swayed. I kind of wished the Strigoi would suck out her endophins, but hell no.

"We gotta get you someplace safe," Rose said, grunting as she tossed me over her shoulder. God help me.

"Amaya... is she- what the- holy shit," Eddie's voice was blurred, and I slipped off of Rose's shoulder, falling on the floor.

"Shit!" I exclaimed. "Go protect the young ones."

"No, I won't leave you in this weak state," argued Eddie, Rose saying the same.

"Go you fucking idiots," I shouted.

Rose's POV

"Go you fucking idiots," Amaya shouted. I just looked at her, oblivious to Christian behind me.

"She's right, you two go, I'll stay with her," Christian said, which made me jump. I looked at him, his light blue eyes were sincere, so I nodded, swiftly jogging to the room where the young children were.

"Oh, Rose. Please keep the children safe," one of my old teachers said. I nodded, readying my oh-so kindly provided silver stake.

Christian's POV

It took a while for Eddie to agree to leave, but he eventually left. I looked at the dopey Amaya, she seemed so fragile.

"Why?" she asked. I looked at her in confusion.

"Why what?" I asked back.

"Why did you choose to stay with me?"

"That's none of you buisness," I said, sitting next to her. I felt her chuckle next to me, and to my surprise, she had placed her hand on mine.

"Thank you," she said. I nodded, placing an arm around her.

Amaya's POV

"Thank you," I said, fighting the dizzyness. When he placed his arm around me, it just felt right. Something that just didn't happen when Eddie did. My depression was starting to fade too, but why?

"I need to tell you something, but even I couldn't understand it at first," he murmered. I looked at him, wondering what he was talking about.

"Whaddya mean?" I asked.

"I'm not sure why, but I love you," he said. I gasped, knowing I felt the same way. "Oh God, I probalby sound like an idiot."

"You don't," I whispered. I said a mental prayer that the endorphins were wearing off. "I feel the same way."

He looked down at me, bringing his face down...
