First off thanks to JaceShadowHunter for mentioning how I switched between the first person then third and then back again. I did write the story at three different parts so I got confused, I've gone back and sorted the second chapter out and will hopefully not make the same mistake. Anyway here's the third chapter!

--

Taking a step back Leon moved in front of me and walked over so he was stood besides her, Lydia's eyes were still on mine.

Leon put a hand on her shoulder and she instantly went to swipe at him with a speed I found impossible.

Leon easily caught her hand in his grip and sighed, "Why are you out here?"

Lydia glared at him, I was thankful her attention was now on him instead of mine.

"Who's she?" Lydia hissed, venom dripping off her words.

Leon smiled, "A new student."

Lydia frowned, "Why didn't I know about this?"

Leon glanced over to me, "The Head wanted to keep it a secret, she's a relative of his."

I froze. Hadn't the Head told me not to tell anyone?

Lydia seemed to relax at this, her lips pulled together in a full line and she looked down at the floor as her hair covered her eyes.

"I'm sorry." She murmured.

Leon squeezed her shoulder, "It's fine."

Lydia looked back up at me and I realised her eyes were now a brilliant blue, she smiled kindle revealing no fangs either.

"I'm sorry."

I nodded, "It's kay."

Lydia turned her attention back to Leon and smiled seductively, she placed a hand on his cheek and leaned in closer to him, "Meet me tonight." She whispered.

I stood slightly embarrassed at the two, I felt like I had just seen something I shouldn't have.

Suddenly Lydia pulled away from Leon and walked over to me, I tried my best to swallow my nerves.

Offering her hand she said sweetly, "I'll have to have a chat with you some time."

I took her icy hand and shook it as I smiled nervously back, "Thanks I'm Kali by the way."

"Lydia."

Leon sighed, "Lydia go already."

Lydia sent him a smile before quickly walking past me and turning a corner.

Leon wasted no time after she had gone and immediately grabbed my arm and walked at a fast pace through some corridors. I realised he seemed tense and wondered if I should have spoken to that girl.

Speaking of which, the two seemed to know each other well. Were they lovers? Glancing up at Leon I realised he must be in his early twenties where as Lydia was only a few years older than me.

I think that's something I'll keep to myself.

Coming to a corridor laid with doors like all the others he brought me to the end one which was separate from all the other's. Bringing out a gold key he unlocked it and then brought me inside – locking the door behind him.

What was with all the locks! I felt like a bloody prisoner.

My mood lightened slightly at the room I was staying in though, it was relatively large and one wall had a balcony with panelled glass in front of it. Two double beds were in the room besides each wall and besides them were some small bedside tables with lamps. Along with a desk besides the door and a large wardrobe it was perfect. And… oh yes! A fridge! A smile crossed my face.

"All rooms usually have two which is why it's so large, but because of your… species." He added looking at me, "You will have it all to yourself."

I smiled, "Thanks Leon."

Leon didn't smile back.

"Oh and one question." I added being full of them, "Why double beds? I expected to have two single beds."

Leon smirked, "Well this is a mixed school and many of the students are decades old, it's obvious that sometimes vampires will have company in their room. And we like to give them room to satisfy their needs."

As he spoke all blood drained from my face – not that I had much to begin with considering my pale face – and I managed to reply.

"You mean…" I trailed off.

Leon nodded, "Yes."

I glanced at the double beds and was even gladder I wasn't sharing a room with a girl like Lydia. Who knows what might happen… I may wake up one morning to find her in bed with Leon.

I quickly shook the thought out of my head.

"Well I'll let you get use to your room; your suitcase will be brought up soon." Leon explained.

I nodded.

"Oh and another thing…" Leon said narrowing his eyes, "Don't come out of this room unless I or the Head tell you too."

"Why?" I asked wanting to hear his answer.

Leon sighed, "Full of questions aren't you?" he replied, "Well basically you're a half-vampire and because of that you still have blood flowing through your veins."

As he spoke he traced a finger along my neck and I went rigid, he smirked and his eyes met mine.

"Everyone at this school is a vampire and I would hate for the Headmaster to lose his dear granddaughter because she got bitten." He said.

Removing his finger from my neck he moved to the door, "So stay hidden."

With that the door shut closed and I stood shocked, just when I was starting to like this place Leon had to go and ruin it.

Sighing I glanced around the room and couldn't help but smile, this room was so cool!

Eyeing the bed I grinned and running over to it jumped on the bed and rolled over it enjoying the space. At my mum's house I had always had a single bed so having so much room was awesome!

I stood up and began jumping up and down on the bed with my hands out to balance myself. The cloak I had been wearing slipped off my shoulders and onto the floor.

"This… is…. so…. cool!" I cried between jumps with a grin plastered on my face, I'd never be allowed to do this at my mum's house.

Thinking of her my grin disappeared and I realised that I wouldn't be seeing my mum for a month, from what I had been told I was only allowed to go visit people outside of the school once a month for two days.

That was nowhere near enough time!

There was not only mum, but Harry aswell! And my best friend Emily and Laura. How was I going to meet and catch up with all of them in just 48 hours?

"So unfair!" I muttered to myself crossing my arms as I stood on the bed, sighing I jumped once more and let myself fall onto the bed. Kicking my trainers off I then jumped from the bed and looked around the room, skipping over to the black fridge that was plugged in at one of the wall's I opened it up and looked inside.

Empty?

I pouted, what use was a fridge if it was empty?

Then realisation hit me… this was a vampire school. Vampires most likely didn't need to eat food but then… why a fridge?

I cringed at the thought of blood smoothies in the fridge and quickly closed it before I gagged. My stomach growled in protest.

"Shut up!" I said slapping my stomach.

Sighing I wailed, "I'm hungry!"

Even if I was half-vampire I was still half-human! I still slept and ate, I was kinda thankful for that. There were a few downsides though, I still aged where as vampires never did. However I was aware that despite being seventeen I looked more like a fourteen year old – I think that I just aged slightly slower than normal humans.

I also didn't heal super fast like vampires did, but faster than humans though. Where as a vampire may cut himself and heal within 30 seconds I would probably take five minutes to do so. And for larger cuts that I gained it may take a full day to do so.

With all my hyperness lost at the thought of food I walked over to the balcony and tried to pull it open.

Locked.

Figures.

Pressing my hands and forehead against the glass I looked outside to see my room faced some of the trees that surrounded the perimeter of the school. Frowning I turned around and slumped against the glass so I fell onto the floor.

"I want to go home." I moaned.

This was so boring.

Not only was I locked in my own room like a prisoner, I was tired aswell but couldn't go to sleep because I was too hungry and I couldn't eat because there was no bloody food!

Note: I do not mean that literally, there is no way I would eat "bloody food"

Letting out a deep breathe I fell sideways so I was on the floor on my side curled into a ball, shutting my eyes I tried to ignore my stomach's protests and instead concentrated on all the sounds I could hear.

The wind outside…

Some birds…

Footsteps further down the corridor… two pairs.

No more…

My eyes shot open, my sensitive ears could now detect several pairs of footsteps. Getting up I walked over to the door and pressed my ear against it, were all the students now going to class?

Listening closely I realised they were getting fainter.

Wait…

I could still hear one pair… no two.

And they were coming this way.

I backed away from the door as the footsteps ceased outside the door.

They couldn't get in… could they?

My eyes flicked towards the handle which was now turning.

It was locked.

I let out a sigh of relief.

"Damn." Muttered a voice from the other side of the door.

"You got a key?" another asked.

"No."

Both voices were male and like all vampire voices sounded beautiful.

"Try to pick it." The second voice suggested.

"Fine."

My heart began racing again and I checked to see if the cloak was on me, and then I remembered. Darting around I quickly ran towards the cloak on the floor whilst behind me I heard something turning the lock.

Grabbing it I hurried to put it over me and put my arms through it, as I did so however the door opened.

"Got it!" the first voice said triumphantly.

Turning my head my eyes widened as I saw two vampires standing in the doorway looking at me with grins.

Oh shit.
