Hunter p.o.v

I found myself running down through the woods as I came to a halt feeling my phone vibrate as I pulled it out and answered it.

"Hello?" I asked as the leaves around me started to settle down around me. I looked around the woods, down the trail that was a shortcut to our house.

"Hey man. I've got some bad news Hunter." Dustin started as I inhaled deeply smelling everything around me as I smelled Connor near by. About two seconds later Connor was beside me as a gust of wind rushed by.

"What is it Dustin?" I asked as I was starting to get irritated. Connor and I continued through the woods towards our house.

"Blake's back." He sighed as I froze and stopped walking. Connor stopped and looked at me questioning what was happening.

"What do you mean back?" I asked angrily as Connor brought his hand to my temple. He closed his eyes tight as I suddenly felt slightly dizzy as Connor read through my thoughts. He gasped as he brought his hand back and opened his eyes.

"I'll kill him." Connor growled he clenched his fists. He walked over to one of the near by trees and punched as it snapped in half producing a loud crack.

"I smelled his scent near the woods. He was definitely near the house." Dustin continued.

"The woods? We're there right now." I said as I looked at Connor and nodded. We raced to the other side of the woods as I was instantly hit with a wave of Blake's scent and a human scent.

"He's near." Connor growled as we continued to run as everything was a blur.

"Dustin he's with a human." I said as we slowed down with the scent becoming stronger.

"I'm on my way. Wait for me." Dustin said as he hung up. I turned to face Connor.

"What's he doing back?" Connor demanded. "You would think after al this time he would just give up."

"He wants something. And whatever it is, he's not going to stop until he gets his way." I said as I turned around as I could feel Dustin approaching.

"We've got to find him before he kills again." Connor agreed as Dustin appeared by our side.

"Hey guys." He greeted as we nodded. "Let's go."

"His scent is getting stronger. Be careful." I stated as I inhaled again. This time I could pick up the second scent better.

"He's with a girl." Connor said before I could.

We came out into a clearing and about 50 yards ahead I could make out the outline of Blake talking to a teenage girl.

"Don't let him manipulate you. I'm going to take the girl. You make sure Blake gets out of here." I said as they nodded.

"Hey! Blake!" I yelled as Connor, Dustin and I ran towards him at human speed.

We approached him as he smirked at us. I looked over at the girl making sure she was okay.

"Oh hey guys." He answered casually before turning back around the blonde girl.

"So how about tomorrow? Movies?" He asked as I saw him widen his eyes. The girl looked into his eyes as her pupils started to dilate. I had to stop him before the girl agreed to it.

"Long time no see huh man!" Dustin stepped between the two as Blake broke eye contact with the blonde as her eyes returned to normal. Blake growled at him as I took my chance and put the Bradley charm to the test.

"Sorry but she's not interested." I said as I reached forward and gently grabbed her hand and pulled her behind me. I felt her heartbeat rise as I stood protectively in front of her. Blake glared at me as he clenched his fists.

"We'll finish this later." Blake growled to me before walking off in the opposite direction, closely followed by Connor and Dustin. I slowly turned and faced the young girl who gave me an odd expression.

"Sorry about my brother. Was he bothering you?" I asked as she studied me for a second. Humans always watched us. We were beautiful to them. We fascinated them. Everything about us drew them in; our voices, our faces, even our smell.

"Just a bit, yeah." She breathed out, as I smirked down at her.

"Where do you live?" I asked as we started to walks towards the opening of woods, the road visible just ahead.

"Umm... near Sunrise Lane." I smiled as she did the same.

"These woods aren't safe. I'll walk you home." I said as she smiled.

"Thanks." I mostly wanted to make sure that she got home safe.

"So what's your name?" I asked as she smiled to me.

"Veronica Hanson.. But most people call me Roni." I smiled as she skipped slightly.

"How old are you?"

"15." I raised my eyebrows.

"You know someone of your age shouldn't be wondering around the woods by yourself."

"I realized that now." She said as we exited the woods and turned right down the street.

"Maybe we should keep this between us, so as not to scare your family." I tried to persuade her. I put my hands in my pockets as we continued down the street.

"I got confused. Didn't know which way I was going."

"Are you new here?" I asked as she turned and looked at me.

"Yeah... How did you know?"

"I'm good at faces." I said as she smiled.

"Yeah… We moved here last week."

"Why's that?" I pressed on as she stopped at the exit of the trail.

"Because of me." She said as I frowned.

"Why?"

"We had to be closer to the hospital encase of emergency's."

"Emergency?" She turned and did a soft smile.

"I have cancer." I stopped as she looked at me and frowned. "What?" I smiled slightly.

"You're going to be fine you know." I said as she rolled her eyes.

"I don't think so."

"I do." I said as she frowned. "Do you trust me?" I whispered as she turned towards me.

"Yes." She breathed out as I took a step near her.

"Shut your eyes." I told her as she looked at me questioning her judgement. She obeyed and slowly shut her eyes. I looked around the street to make sure that no human was around. I slowly stepped towards her as I brought my hands to face. I cupped her cheeks as she slightly jumped. I raised my fingers and pressed my index and middle fingers to her temples.

"What-"She started to ask but it was too late. I shut my eyes as I focused on her. I made every atom in my body focus on healing her. I groaned as I felt myself starting to become weaker from transferring my energy to her. You see we vampires all have our powers. I, for instance, am a healer. I can heal anybody or anything of anything. All I have to do is focus myself on the person in my hands. However being a healer isn't as easy as it seems. I can't drain an infinite about of healing energy into someone or I become too weak.

Connor, Dustin, Kira and Blake are different. Kira and Blake can both manipulate people. All the human has to do is look into their eyes long enough for Kira and Blake to focus their energy, and if they keep eye contact they can manipulate a human into doing whatever they want. Connor has one of the easiest powers; reading minds. Connor can read anyone's mind within a 10 mile radius. However some vampires have learned to block their minds from being read, like myself. I grew tired of him searching my mind and my invasion of privacy. Dustin also has a fairly easy gift. He can see into the future. However since the future is subjective, it's always changing.

I felt myself starting to grow weaker as I let go of her face. She instantly started to fall down, her energy low from the transfer still. I quickly caught her and carried her bridal style to her home.

Tori p.o.v

Sitting down in my bedroom hearing the soft voice of Adele as it filled my room. I took off my glasses and placed them on my desk as I looked down to my homework.

"Tori love... There's someone at the door can you get it?" my mom yelled as I sighed and stood up putting my chair under the desk as I looked at myself in the mirror seeing the white pyjamas and different shades of blues as spots with my black tank top and my hair down.

"Can't you answer it mum? I'm in my pyjamas."

"I'm in the bath!" she yelled back.

"Urgh…" I moaned as I walked out of my room. I walked down the stairs as I got to the big wooden door. I unlocked the door but kept the hatch on as I pulled it open looking out through the small gap as I saw Hunter Bradley.

"Hi, I think I found your sister." I froze as I saw him holding my sister in his arms.

"Oh my god is she okay?" I asked as I quickly unlatched the lock and opened the door letting him carry her inside.

"Umm...yeah I found her walking in the woods and when I was walking her home she fainted." He said as he carried her in and set her down on the living room couch.

"The woods? What was she doing in the woods?" I asked frantically as I kneeled beside her.

"She said she got lost on her way home. Don't worry she's okay." He said as I looked into his eyes and instantly felt myself wanting to believe him. I looked down to my little sister and brushed some hair out of her face.

"Could you get a cold wash cloth? To put it on her forehead?" He asked me as I looked back up to him and nodded. I quickly ran into the kitchen and got it.

"That should be good." He said as I placed it on her forehead. We sat in silence as I watched Roni slowly start to stir.

"Thank you." I told him as he looked up to me. His crystal blue eyes piercing into mine.

"For what?" He asked me as I took a glance down to my sister.

"For saving her. Protecting her." I answered as he smiled slightly.

"It was no problem." He responded as we stared at each other. Just then Roni started to wake up as I looked down to her.

"Roni…Roni what happened?" I asked her as she sat up slightly. I was about to prop up a pillow behind but Hunter already had the pillow in his hands.

"I was on my way home from school and just got lost. I didn't know which to go. "

"Are you okay?" I pressed on.

"Yeah.. Just feeling a bit under the weather and tired. If it wasn't for Hunter that guy would still be flirting with me." I lifted my hand up and placed it on her forehead feeling the normal temperature.

"What guy?" She shrugged and turned back looking to Hunter who was now standing inside the little arch doorway that lead o the living room."

"He's an ex friend of mine. Don't worry he won't be bothering her anymore…" He answered. The tone in his voice told me not to ask any further.

"Thank so much Hunter. Without you who knows what could have happened to her." I thanked him again trying to get of the subject of his ex-friend.

"Your very much welcome." He said politely as he smiled towards us.

"I think I'm going to go to bed now, I'm really tired." Roni said interrupting us.

"Alright, I'll be up in a minute." I said as she walked upstairs.

"You can come i-" I started to offer as he interrupted me.

"No... Honestly it's fine." He said politely.

"Are you sure?" I asked as he nodded.

"Maybe another day?" I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah."

"I'm sorry where are my manors." He said as I frowned. "I'm Hunter." He said softly as I smiled as he outstretched his hand. I stepped out of the door way slightly and shook his hand.

"Tori."

"It's very nice to meet you Tori."

"You too." He smiled and took a step back.

"Have a nice night."

"I will... See you in school tomorrow?" I asked as he nodded.

"Possibly." I smiled as he took another step back onto the garden. "Make sure she doesn't go wondering about again."

"Yeah I think I'll walk her to school to/from school from now on." I said as he smiled.

"Alright... Good night."

"Night." He turned around and slowly walked down the street as I smiled to myself and shut the door as quietly as I possibly could as I turned around and leant back against it. I don't know why but I felt as if my heart was beating out of my chest. Nothing could explain the way I was feeling right now.

Hunter p.o.v

I walked into the house and shut the door as I wondered through to the stairway as I walked up to the top of the building. I reached my big steel door at the top as I pulled out my keys and put them into the door, kicking it open and walking in as I closed and locked it behind. I reached across and pressed the light switch seeing the light flicker on as I turned around. I looked at the big book case filled with over a thousand old books as I walked over to the table that was beside it. I picked up the crystal glass and placed it in the side as I picked up the crystal bottle with the red milky blood inside as I emptied it into one of the glasses. I put it back down and put the lid on as I picked up the glass and turned around looking at my big wooden bed and the grey bricked wall surface the wooden floors with a red rug. I took a small sip of my drink as I placed it down as I wondered over to my bed. I lay down and stared at the ceiling, reminiscing about the days event's….
