Hello :)
Okay, so first of, thank you to all of those who read the first two chapters, also special thanks to all of those who reviewed. I'm really glad with the feed back im getting and well I guess I can say that with so much love you guys are showing i'm starting to really get into this story. So I think I will be updating constantly. And I wont be taking 7 months like my other story. Which by the way, I should have that updated soon.
So now I want to adress RQRGJM9311, seeing how you are an annonymos reviewer I cant really send you a message replying to your reviews, so I might as well leave you a message hear. First of, alot of your reviews made me laugh and they also gave me a smile on my face. I honestly wanted this chapter to be up by sunday but you see my laptops charger broke. I'm working on this story on my laptop so since I have no charger I cant charge it therefor I cant write. Sometimes my dad lets me use his charger and thats how I get to work on the story. I wont be getting a new charger anytime soon but have faith ill try updating as soon as possible.
Also to my other reviewers. I try to reply to most of the review, mostly to thank you for reviewing. Sometimes you guys have questions and I love answering them, but you see I dont really have much time, so if I read you review whenever im busy I usually dont reply back. So sorry about that but ill always reply if you guys have question or ill just post the answers in the next chapter.
Bytheway; here are some answeres to some questions alot of you guys happen to ask.
Do they know their soulmates and all?
Answer is no. Slowly they will figure it out and it wont usually be like it happend in the acutal Night World books but yeah..
Does Circle Daybreak excist?
Answer is no, not yet. Thierry doesnt know Hannah is his soulmate therefor he didnt really have that much of a big reason on why to start circle daybreak but... he hates the whole idea of hating humans and all. So you can expect Thierry to start Circle Daybreak later in the chapters.
Well sorry for wasting your beloved time. This is all I really have to say.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Night I will let you know I send L.J Smith a letter asking if she could give me the Night World for Christmas... yeah I dont think she will agree, but I still have hope.
Tan tan tan, enjoy chapter 3!
Chapter 3
Keller, Raksha
I walked alongside with Thierry down the hallway that led us to the cafeteria. To my surprise, there were kids everywhere. Shouldn't they be in the assembly?
But right now that didn't matter, this was actually a good thing. Kids in the hallways and not in the assembly where I would have to deal with them. Deal with their stares and continues gossip. Even though I've gotten used to it, and it no longer bothers me, it would still make me feel better if they just left me alone.
If they left me and Thierry alone.
Even though he didn't show it, I knew at first he was annoyed as I was. The company of humans doesn't bother us, the way the come around us and try to be friendly doesn't bother us. What bothers is that no matter how we are towards them they end up thinking the same thing.
We are different.
Different, better, in a higher level. Anything so stupid would cross their mind. And that's what would make us feel like we didn't fit in- which of course we didn't because after all we were un-human. We were creatures of the darkness- we were even known to be any humans nightmare come to life.
I was a shapeshifters and Lord Thierry a vampire. We were bond to not fit in, no matter how much we tried.
So that's why I would constantly ask him; why try? Why bother trying to fit in with humans if it was completely impossible. We belong to the Night World- not the world itself.
I shook my head clearing my mind. We had reached the cafeteria. Thierry had already opened the door and I had walked in before him. I looked around trying to find seats. The cafeteria was almost full even though kids were still wondering around the hallways. The teachers at the front seemed to be having trouble with something seeing how the assembly hadn't started.
I saw Thierry smile. He must be happy we didn't miss anything even though he and I both knew that the assembly would be just like last year. Boring and irrelevant.
Looking around once again I noticed we had captured some night worlders attention. Well I figured more like Thierry had captured they're attention. Some people slowly bowed their head and other just looked away a little frightened.
"There are seats at the front" Thierry said pointing towards the front. "Do you mind sitting there?" He asked even though he knew I wouldn't mind.
"Not at all Lor- I mean Thierry" I said pulling out an apologetic smile.
We walked to the front trying to be very -lack of a better word- unnoticed, but of course failed. Who wouldn't notice the people walking to the front of the cafeteria? Which was practically empty, what's so bad about the front? When we got there I sighed before taking a seat. We were so close to the teachers, this meant I would have to listen to the boring speech.
I looked besides me and was surprised to see Thierry wasn't sitting there- in fact, he was talking to the teachers. Probably asking if they need help, he had to be joking me. Why would he want to help them, knowing that once they fixed whatever problem they were having the assembly would start!
Is he doing all this to torture me?
First the joke about only coming back to this school this year to graduate, then crossing that red light making a car almost crash into my new convertible and now he wanted to help those teachers start with the assembly?
Why was I working for this mad man again?
Jezebel Redfern
This was honestly one of the best days I've lived so far. Walking down hallways with a smirk on my face and two guys following my like lost puppies, oh I felt blessed.
Not often- actually pretty much never- do you see Delos Redfern getting tricked. My plan of course at first wasn't to trick him and pretty much force him to come to the assembly with me- I mean, why would I want Delos anywhere near me?
My plan was to only annoy him a little, maybe get on his nerves and then find a way to make it look like he was avoiding humans because he was scared of them. Which of course wasn't the reason- no Redfern would ever be scared of humans. I was glad enough he decided to actually listen to what I had to say, which of course was a bad idea. I mean look at the end results. He was following me.
Prince Delos Redfern almighty following the cousin who would have to respect him at all cost during any Redfern reunion. The cousin he pretty much hated.
That was one reason why I was so happy. The other was because Morgead had also fallen into my trap. I had planned to make him come to the assembly with me. I mean, why would I want to sit there alone like a loser? Not that I would look like one, but I needed someone I could talk to when I got bored.
I saw him enter the cafeteria earlier and after all the girls started gathering up around him, I saw him leave. I knew where he would go, his all so secret -so he believed- roof. So I went there, I was a little surprised to see Delos there, I knew there was a meeting between the Elders and the council, a meeting about certain Night Worlders having to transfer to this school. One of them being Delos.
When I got to the roof I stayed there shocked actually that he hadn't noticed me. I saw when Morgead walked in and well nearly died by the blue fire Delos shot at him. I'll admit, I had something to do with the fact that it didn't actually hit Morgead. He reacted fast, but the blue fire is faster. If it wasn't for the blue fire I shot, Morgead would have been hit- he wouldn't have died, but he would have been seriously injured.
I knew Delos had seen my blue fire, but being the royal ass he is, he chose to ignore it.
"I'm not standing during the assembly so if we don't find seats, I'm leaving" I heard Morgead say from behind me.
"Will find seats" I said we approached the main door to the cafeteria.
"Pathetic" I head Delos say but ignored him.
Once inside, I scanned the cafeteria quickly. Just like I thought, the front was nearly empty so I started making my way there. I knew Delos and Morgead would be following, so I didn't bother looking behind me. As I passed all the students already sitting down I couldn't help but rolling my eyes.
I had the attention of some guys and I was given death glares by many girls. I ignored, simply ignored.
I noticed a lot of girls were murmuring to each other, gossiping. A little too loud actually, so I was able to hear some things. They were talking about Delos. 'The new hottie'. Don't make me puke, the only thing hot about Delos is his temper. Other girls were doing there usually chit chat about Morgead. Again don't make me puke.
If they only knew these guys. They would definitely stop fantasising about them. I cant believe some girls actually thought they would be romantic and sensitive. Oh gosh, I feel sorry for them, if they only knew…
"Jezebel" The calling of my name caught me of guard. First I thought it was Morgead or Delos, but they wouldn't be that stupid so I looked towards the direction the voice had came from. Thierry Descouedres. He was sitting at the very front next to some girl I haven't meat before. I figured that the reason he called my name was so I would go and sit next to him, so I did.
I made my way towards Thierry as I heard protests coming from both Delos and Morgead.
Not next to an elder Jez, I'm going to be bored as hell. That was Morgead.
An elder cousin, your practically begging for me to kill you. Pathetic. And that was Delos.
Yup, they weren't enjoying the idea of sitting near Thierry, but hey, I cant say no to an elder.
Gillian Lennox
"Do I look bad?" I asked as soon as silence took over. Both Maggie and Mary-Lynnette -girls that have been nice in the classes I had with them- were looking at me, well more like staring, so I got a little defensive.
"No!" Maggie almost yelled and then I noticed she slightly blushed looking a little embarrassed. "You look uhm…"
"Different" Mary-Lynnette stated as Maggie just nodded in agreement "Good different of course and- you cut you hair?"
I nodded feeling a little embarrassed myself but then that's when I heard his voice. Angels romantic and yet so firm voice.
Look confident kid.
I changed my posture. I stood up straight, lifted my head and pulled out the best smile I had. "So I look good?" I asked glad my voice was sweet and at the same time firm.
"You look great actually" Maggie commented "I mean, more then great, I like it" she finished nodding before she excused herself so she could use the washroom.
"Why the sudden change?" Mary-Lynnette asked, she seemed curious actually. She didn't say it like she was jealous or anything, he voice was sweet and kind. She actually cared.
Tell her you felt like you needed a change for the last year you would be spending hear.
"I felt like I needed a change" I said "You know, after all it's our last year hear"
Mary-Lynnette nodded before smiling "Well its definitely a nice change. You honestly look great."
I turned my attention back to the mirror I had been looking at before Maggie and Mary-Lynnette had walked it. I was glad, very glad actually that I did look so good. Mary-Lynnette was washing her hand as Maggie came out of a stall also going towards the sink to wash her hands.
Say yes.
Yes to what? I asked myself- well actually I asked Angel and before he could give me an answer Maggie spoke.
"Hey Jill, want to sit with us? You know, for the assembly." she asked with such a casual tone, like if we were best friends or something.
"Sure" I replied happy that I wouldn't have to walk in that assembly alone.
They are nice people kid. But they are going to have to walk by a dark path. Said Angel getting me completely confused. They are going to have it hard.
What are you talking about? I asked him clearly not understanding a word he was saying. Sometimes I felt like most of the things he said were meant for me not to hear.
They are leaving, go. Was all I got for an answer, I would by trying to push the subject later, but for now I followed Maggie and Mary-Lynnette as we walked out of the washroom.
The hallways was almost empty, just a couple of kids walking. I heard Maggie say something like "good thing she is gone" before she started walking down the hallways and towards the cafeteria. Mary-Lynnette and I walked behind her. She asked me a couple of questions about my new look and every time I gave her an answer she would compliment me. She was really nice, way to nice.
We got to the cafeteria in no time seeing how Maggie was walking rather fast. We walked in and it seemed that the assembly was just about to start. Weird, considering the bell had rang at least ten minutes ago. A teacher holding a megaphone was trying to get the students to be quiet and settle down, don't they have microphones?
Look around kid. Angel said and so I listened and sure enough I was shocked. People were looking, looking at me. Of course I didn't have the attention a Redfern would get but I didn't have some attention. People were staring and murmuring to each other. I even heard someone say 'who is the new student'.
I kept walking behind Maggie and soon enough she stopped near the group of people her and Mary-Lynnette usually hang around with.
You look great kid was the last thing Angel said before I finally took a seat besides Mary-Lynnette. Her friends looked at me a little shocked but they were very welcoming. I've always liked this little group, they were great people.
"Gillian?" A girl asked, who I'm sure goes by the name Poppy. I smiled at her and she simply gave me two thumbs up and that's when the teachers started yelling very loudly over that megaphone. The cafeteria went silent.
But right before that, I heard a guy say something that sounded like 'pretty hot'.
I smiled when I noticed it was David.
Quinn, John
So the assembly finally started.
Well so I guessed seeing how everyone seemed to have their attention directed to the front of the cafeteria. I had my headphones on and I couldn't really listen to anything apart from the music blasting in my ears.
But then again, who am I kidding. I'm a telepath. I focused my mind on a girl- human girl- sitting near the front. She seemed to be very focused on the assembly so I decided she would be my way of knowing what was going on. He mind was interesting actually.
She was thinking a lot while she paid attention to the speech the only drama teacher was giving. Most of her thoughts were focused on -no surprise- the Redfern's. She seemed to have a crush on Ash seeing how she would compare everything to him.
This girl was really pathetic. I scanned her mind a little and found some interesting information. She had seen three people walk in a couple of minutes ago. One person out of the three she hated. Jez Redfern. The girl was clearly jealous of her. Jealous of how she was hanging around two hotties- I nearly chocked. Delos Redfern following Jez around? That's what the girls mind showed. It showed how when Jez had walked in Morgead and Delos had been walking right behind her. I would expect that from Morgead but Delos? I mean I didn't even know him but from what I've heard something tells me the last person he would be hanging around with would be Jez.
The girls mind also showed three other girls that had walked in. Human girls which I didn't really care about. She seemed to be jealous of those girls as well. Pathetic. I scanned a little further back into her mind and found the moment she had seen Thierry Descouedres walk in.
Sexy, gorgeous, sensitive, cute, romantic, kind, prince charming- this girl was making me sick. Did she actually think Thierry was like this? And elder romantic? Please, maybe only before he sucks you dry.
Thierry had walked in with a girl that I knew. Raksha Keller was her name. A shapeshifters, also a very interesting fighter. The girl seemed to be jealous of Keller too.
I decided to scan a little further then that and got to the memories of Thea and Blaise walking in. Of course she was jealous of them as well. She hated Blaise already seeing how as soon as she got here she greeted Ash with a kiss in the cheek. Something that she clearly did to annoy all the girls watching. Ash had given winked at Blaise smirking at the thought that many girls hearts were being crashed.
I got out of the girls mind. This is why Humans are so weak, because the feel. They feel emotions, because they actually care. Stupid is what they are. Cant they see they are better of not caring.
Impossible. The thought was directed to me and I turned to my side to see Kestrel staring directly at the front, I followed her gaze and couldn't help but gasp as I saw what she was looking at.
Maya. Maya was here- here in the school. She was sitting right next to Thierry as she had placed a chair in the space between Keller and Thierry. Maya…
The cafeteria seemed to have died for a second. Everyone, both humans and Night Worlders had their attention on her. Even Ash had tensed up and was actually for once paying attention.
If Thierry assisting this school was a shock. You can only imagine what the feeling was seeing Maya here.
James Rasmussen
"Who is she?" I heard Poppy ask but I couldn't bring myself to answer.
Why was she here? Why had she come? Was she planning on staying or is she just here- goddamnit there is no damn reason why she should be here!
"Jamie" Poppy poked my shoulder but I ignored her. This couldn't be happening.
But it was. It was happening and I knew it because everyone seemed to have notice her. Ash, Blaise, Galen… I could even see Jez staring at her. For once we were all completely speechless.
Oh, and I couldn't only imagine what Thierry might be feeling. I didn't see any reaction coming from him when she had sat next to him. He never even moved.
Did you know about this? I heard Ash ask in my mind. I didn't even look at him to give him an answer.
Why would I know. I'm no Redfern.
No one knew. Kestrel joined the little conversation. At least no Redfern.
I shook my head and pushed both of them out my mind. I didn't want to talk to them.
"Jamie, are you okay?" Poppy asked and then I noticed the whole group was looking at me.
"Fine" I replied my tone a little rough.
"Do you know her?" Asked David, and I was actually surprised he didn't say something about her looks.
"No" It wasn't really a lie. I have never seen eye to eye with her, the only reason I knew here- well who wouldn't know the first of their own kind?
"The girl from the washroom" I heard Maggie tell me Mary-Lynnette and I couldn't help but to ask.
"Washroom?"
"Yeah. We saw here before, she was standing right outside the washroom with a lot of freshman, she seemed kind off rude and well I honestly thought she was a Redfern or something" Maggie explained clearly not to excited about the topic.
"She is a Redfern" Again it wasn't really a lie because she happened to go by that last name- as far as I know.
"But you said you didn't know her" Poppy stated confused.
"The Redfern family is pretty big" Was all I said.
"So is she your cousin?" Hannah asked. She seemed a little upset for what ever reason.
"Uhm…I guess?" I answered actually thinking of the correct answer. She wasn't my cousin, she was just my… I don't even know. All I knew is she was at least a thousand years old and I was barely seventeen. So can anyone have a cousin a thousand years older?
"She scares me" Gillian, the girl who had arrived with Maggie and Mary-Lynnette commented.
I looked at the group and saw that each of them in their own kind of way agreed with her. And to be honest, so did I.
This is it :)Thank you for reading and Im sorry if there are any mistakes. I re-read once or twice checking for mistakes but I usually never really catch all of them.
Okay so here is a little announcment. For this story I'm going to need to add humans and Night Worlders that would randomly appear once or twice bescause apart from the actual Night World Characters I need other characters that could be around to set up the plots between the different soulmate pairs. So If you would like, leave your name and your favorite characters and I will put you in the story. Only to set up plots and all. Warning though. I will be needing bitchy characters and even some characters that may end up dieing so I hope you dont mind it ends up being you do agree to leave your name and all I will be sending you a message explaining where exactly I would fit you in the story.
