Chapter 2- Realization.

Nelle Jordan was not someone who you'd expect to cry. Her family had been killed by vampires when she was only seven years old. She had been living as an orphan since then. She knew that no one was going to save her from this terrifying nightmare, so she learnt to save herself. She became a hunter to avenge her family and rid the earth of who she thought were all horrible creatures.

And now, she was one of the strongest vampire hunters alive, nicknamed "Dark Ice". Her signature line was "Death by Dark Ice". She would say that every time after killing a vampire while piercing a stake into their head, making a dark portion there that looks like ice. She was named Dark Ice as she was always cold and aloof and indifferent, and she also showed no mercy to any vampire or Werewolf or Shape shifters.

The Night World council has been after her for quite some time now; they have been sending many undead creatures after her, but she had taken down whatever came her way till they were either killed or injured badly.

Up till this day, she has been living on her own in an apartment. She has one best friend, Jenna Lenox, and her boyfriend- whom she loves very much-, Lucas North. She always ended up being cold to others, so she only had the two of them. And today was his birthday, so she specially woke up early so she could make it early to pass him his present as a surprise as she was never before very early.

After she washed up, Nelle slipped on a white tank top, then she put on a necklace that Lucas had given her, a pair of army green cargo jeans and the black leather jacket that Jenna had given her. She grabbed her backpack, stuffed her school books, pencil case, Lucas's present and some other stuff that she might need and ran out of her apartment, grabbing her cell phone on the way.

She walked out to the bus stop to wait for her bus. In the meantime, she switched on her phone to check if Lucas had texted or called her, but he hadn't, and somehow she was disappointed. But she kept thinking of possible reasons, for example, he was flooded with other texts and his parents because it was his birthday. So she just waited for his text.

By the time she reached school it seemed like forever, but Lucas still hadn't texted her. She checked the time; it was still early to surprise him. So, the minute she stepped into the school, she took out the present and headed as fast as she could to Lucas's locker. She felt so excited and happy to be able to see him again. She smiled so hard that her mouth started to cramp.

When she turned the corner to Lucas's locker, her face fell and she stopped dead in her tracks. She saw his light blonde hair almost touching a head of strawberry blonde hair, his face partially covered by it. His face was partially covered by Jenna's head of strawberry blonde hair.

They changed position, so whatever they were doing was staring Nelle in the face.

Their mouths were interlocking. And even when they moved they didn't leave each other. Nelle couldn't believe her eyes and the whole world zoned out when she realized that her only best friend and boyfriend were making out right in front of her.

Fuck it.
