Chapter 3:

"You can't be serious…" Vlad sighed.

"Yes I am. You should be happy for me, Vladimir. I'm going to my first human school!" Sabrina smiled.

"Look. Do what you want. Just don't talk with me or walk with me to school. Understand?" Vlad put on a stern look. But who was he fooling. Bet she was going to do it anyway.

"Vladimir. You talk to me like I'm five years old." Sabrina laughed. "Look at the time. It's almost eleven. Shouldn't you be in bed?"

Vlad raised his eyebrow and stood up. "Before I go to bed. Where are you staying anyway?"

"Why not here? I'll just sleep on the roof. No biggie." Sabrina smiled.

"No biggie? I don't want people looking at the roof and seeing a sleeping girl on top of it! You'll sleep on the couch." Vlad said.

"Complain. Complain. Complain. Is that all you do? I'll sleep on the couch. Be up and ready for school Vladimir. You'll need the extra sleep." Sabrina smiled.

Vlad shrugged and walked up the stairs to his messy room. Dirty clothes were on the floor. An old tuna sandwich was under his dresser. Toothpaste stains in his sink. It looked like Oscar form Sesame Street could live in here.

Vlad slipped off his shirt and fell asleep.

Meanwhile,

Sabrina was having a nightmare. She quickly woke up. She was drenched in sweat. She heard a door click. Aunt Nelly came and saw Sabrina.

"Oh. I didn't see you. Are you okay? You look…scared." Aunt Nelly sat on the edge of the couch.

"Just a nightmare." Sabrina tried to smile.

"You look like you need some clothes. Come with me. I have some pajamas you can borrow." Aunt Nelly smiled.

"Thank you, Nelly." Sabrina said.

"Anytime." Nelly walked up stairs and gave Sabrina some clothing.

Sabrina slipped into her pajamas and retreated back downstairs.

When Sabrina felt everyone was asleep she sneaked up stairs and slid into Vladimir's bed. He was warm and barely was moving at all.

I have to tell Vladimir the truth…but how? He is tough to communicate with. He doesn't listen and always gives me a weird look. How rude could a boy get?

"Wake up. Wake up. Breakfast is ready. Vladimir! Human school awaits you!"

"HUH?" Vlad opened his eyes and saw Sabrina looking over him.

"What time is it?" Vlad yawned.

"Only six o'clock." Sabrina smiled.

"That's it. You're officially the craziest girl I have ever met." Vlad stood up and headed for his bathroom.

"Notice anything different, Vladimir?" Sabrina asked.

"Yeah. Everything's….clean?"

"Do you like it? I cleaned every spot in this room and your bathroom."

Vlad was silent. The shower switched on.

"I'll be downstairs…" Sabrina ran downstairs to be hit in the head with the smell of pancakes.

She ran into the kitchen and sat down.

Later Vlad came downstairs. He wore a white top and black baggy looking jean. Over the top he wore a jacket.

"Didn't you wear that yesterday?" Sabrina asked.

"No…the top was a different color."

Nelly served the pancakes with hot syrup all over. She gave Vlad and Sabrina a cup of blood that was warmed up.

"What are you here for?" Vlad asked.

"Vladimir!"

"Nelly!"

"I knew you were going to ask that." Sabrina put down her fork and sighed.

"Vladimir Tod. We are very much alike. Your half vampire. And so am I."

"What? I thought I was the only one." Vlad's eyes widened.

"Well, you are. You're also half human. Which I am not."

"Then what are you?" Vlad asked.

"Vladimir. Something's are to be hidden. One must not tell everything to someone they just met." Sabrina said.

Great.

"Just tell me. I won't freak out." Vlad said.

"Oh. Look at the time. We have to get going." Sabrina stood up and ran out the door.

"Good luck." Aunt Nelly chuckled.

"Yeah. I'll need it." Vlad whispered.

"Vladimir. Before you go. Don't pressure her to tell you. We don't know what she is capable of. And like she said…Something's are better off unspoken." Aunt Nelly gave Vlad a hug. "Be careful."
