I only own Katie, Jackie, and any other characters that are not S.E. Hinton's wonderful creation.

So we left Tulsa. I needed to be close to a friend.

Although, I wasn't overly attached to the Oklahoma city. I had only live their six and a half months. I did have a job, I had worked as a night shift emergency room nurse, and a house, a nice one at that. But what is the use when you don't have any friends? I mean, yes, I do have Dallas, but no, he is not my best friend. My best friend lives miles away from here, somewhere in Ohio, which is where I used to be from until I moved.

But I did have to get out of Tulsa. No telling how long my sedation method would last on Dallas.

You see , when I first became a vampire, I decided to use my powers, which is to be able to make all sorts of potions, and medicines that will effect vampires, to my advantage. I made one medicine for newborns. It keeps them calm, and easy to deal with until they are of-age to behave themselves. But I have never met anybody quit like Dallas, he's…wild. I don't know if the medicine would work on Dallas for his first year as a newborn, or if his body would become immune to it. There really was no telling how things would, or could, happen.

But now was the biggest challenge ever. If I could master what I was going to attempt, my friends and I would be set for life.

I was going to make a potion for de-sparklatizing.

Eight months later I was sitting now employed at another hospital, doing the same thing. Although, things were far from "same," since now I didn't sparkle, I lived hours from Tulsa, and Dally had gotten used to being a vampire, and pretty much forgotten about his gang. Which, again, was part of my potion working.

How have I given a stubborn vampire medicine all this time without him knowing, you ask. Simple. Tell him he has to take vampire vitamins. It works every time. Especially when they're chocolate flavored…

Both of us were finally happy, and I didn't plan on going back to Tulsa for a long time. Well, not until he showed up.

Who is "he" you ask? Only I know (evilly laughs).

I hope you have like the first few chapters of this! I can't really say much more than that it was quite fun to write.

Well, I just added a few things into this one––I had wrote the first three chapters sometime back. So I planned on writing more tonight, but you see, I recorded Stand By Me, the movie based on Stephen King's novel, The Body. So…I will be watching that instead…sorry! Haha.
