4-Understanding

It was the day after Courtney discovered the secret. School was hard for her that day, she was ready to burst with the information she had received. But, she respected that it was secret that she couldn not tell anyone.

Their usual lunch time spot was where they were sitting. All expect Bridgette and Courtney, anyway. The two teen girls were making their way over together from Biology. The CIT took that opportunity to question her best friend.

"I'm still in a bit of shock." Courtney admitted, openly. The surfer couldn't help but smile to herself.

"It is a bit shocking at first." She replied, hoping to comfort her friend from shock.

"Your a fairy, Duncan, Gwen and Taylor are Vampires and Trent is a werewolf." Courtney said, as if it wasn't obvious enough.

"Okay, a lot of shock." Bridgette laughed, causing Courtney to crack a smile on her stone cold face.

Once the laughter died down, Courtney continued talking.

"Can I ask you about Geoff?"

"What do you want to know about him?" Bridgette asked, not knowing what Courtney was going to ask. The CIT didn't look Bridgette straight in the eye, she looked down slightly.

"Why didn't he...You know...Last night?" The brunette struggled to form words. Bridgette's face lit up, now knowing what she was getting at. She had forgot that Geoff hadn't changed like the rest of them, she was so used to it.

"Well he's...he's not quite like us." Bridgette explained, not knowing herself where she was going. "You see werewolves are a unique-" The blond stopped to think about the correct word to use.

"Breed?" Courtney suggested.

"Yeah, just don't say that around Geoff and Trent." Bridgette warned, before continuing. "Okay, you see with Vampires, if one of the parents is a Vampire, then there is a 95% chance that the child will be a vampire as well." Courtney nodded to say she understood, when really she didn't know what that had to do with Geoff. "But with werewolves, only one of the offspring can be a werewolf. And Geoff, even though he is oldest, isn't. It went his sister." Then Courtney understood why Geoff wasn't one of them. He was only part werewolf, not the full thing.

"And now Ellie is unique. She's the only female werewolf in history, but that puts a lot of pressure on Geoff." The surfer girl carried on explaining to her best friend. "We did the best thing we could, we made him leader or in his case the Alpha."

"I get it." Courtney butted in, seeing how much of a touchy subject it was for her friend. "So, how long have you been a fairy for?"

"My whole life." She laughed in reply.

"Do you have any-" To save Courtney from awkwardness, Bridgette cut across her.

"Powers? Well, I can fly, which is pretty cool, and I can talk to people through my mind. Only problem with that is they have to speak to answer." Bridgette looked away, sad at the fact. "Oh, and don't confuse it with mid-reading either, because I can't do that." Courtney once again nodded, when still trying to work out what really was happening.

The two girls had finally made it to the cafeteria. They ducked and dodged, in and out of the crowded hall. It was utter chaos. They, some how, got over to the table where their friends were sitting and sat down in their usual spots.

"Meeting tonight, Bridge. We need to discuss protection." Gwen informed her. Duncan leaned in for a kiss from his preppy girlfriend, but she rejected him at the smell of his breath.

"Brush you teeth after you go for a hunt, then I'll think about kissing you." She told him, causing everyone to crack into a fit of giggles.

"Are you coming t the meeting, Court?" Geoff asked, through his own laughing. Taylor immediately stopped her own laughing and turned to the cowboy.

"She can't, she's not one of us."

"It doesn't matter, she's still invited." Geoff replied, dominantly.

"I guess I'll come." Courtney said to them, much to Taylor's annoyance.

"Don't look so nervous." Bridgette told her best friend. "We, well they, won't bite."

"Speak for yourself,"and with that, Taylor pushed her chair out and stormed away from the group of friends.

"What's her problem?" Courtney asked, watching Taylor leave the room. No one wanted to answer her question, but they she was in on the secret now, so she had the right to know.

"You." Geoff said, in hushed tones. Looking at Courtney confused face, Duncan added to the explanation.

"She's had a bad vision about you."

"What do you mean 'Vision'?" Courtney questioned her friends, using air quotes to show she didn't know what a vision was.

"Chloe can see the future." Bridgette told her. Courtney nodded her head, now understanding what was happening. The CIT turned to her bad boy boyfriend.

"That's what you two were talking about, the other day by my house."

"You heard that?" Duncan replied, shocked at his girlfriend's sense of hearing.

"You weren't exactly keeping it quiet."

Another day gone, and the clock had once again struck midnight. The middle of the park, at the center of town, was full of life as it usually was. There wasn't a cloud in the navy colored sky, just bight, twinkling lights, lighting up the area between the canopy of tree's.

Courtney Black managed to stifle a yawn, as she rested her head on her boyfriend's lap. Rubbing her eyes, she yawned for the second time.

"How are you all so awake?" She questioned her surrounding friends. Gwen, dangling from a tree branch, answered the girls question.

"Vampires don't really need to sleep, they can, but they don't have to."

"And werewolves only need a few hours sleep to keep them going for a full day." Trent added.

"I'm just as tired as you." Bridgette said, wanting to get her input involved. She was currently sitting in the top of a tree in her fairy form.

Before anyone could blink, Duncan had his cousin pinned to the floor. Courtney fell from being suspended in mid-air, onto the rotting bench below. Geoff and Trent jumped to their feet, whilst Gwen watched with eageness. Bridgette looked away, not wanting to watch the conflict between the family memebers.

"Don't even think about it, Taylor." Duncan growled. His red eyes and fangs were exposed for the world to see. Taylor's were too.

"I wasn't going to." She hissed back.

"Have you forgto who you're talking to?" Gwen asked, swinging down from the tree and walking over to where the ther two vampire's were.

"Gwen and Duncan are mind-reader's." Bridgette said flying over to where Courtney was sitting on the bench. Geoff ran over to the three vampires and pried Duncan away from his cousin. Not taking is eyes off Taylor, Duncan walked back over to the bench where his girlfriend and fairy friend were sitting.

"Why are we here agin?" Courtney asked, after what seemed like a life time of silence.

"To discuss protection against the Tracker's." Trent told her.

"That mean's someone who beleves in us, and will do anything to make sure we get caught." Bridgette explained to a confused looking Courtney.

"Such as Heather." Gwen added without thinking.

"Heather?" Courtney shot.

"Yeah, she's after us big-time." Taylor said, eye's still glowing red.

"Watch your eyes!" Duncan yelled at her. "Either keep them closed or go for a run."

"I can't help it." Taylor additmed, slinking over to where Courtney and her cousin were sitting. "She just looks...Delicious." Duncan pulled Courtney closer to him, whilst Taylor was being her usual hungry self.

"Taylor eats human's." Gwen warned Courtney. "Me and Duncan don't, though." She quickly added, hoping Courtney would understand.

"Taylor, go for a run." Geoff said, jumping infront of her. "I heard Leah around here a few moments ago." Taylor gave Geoff a funny look.

"If you didn't want me here, you could have just said." A gust of wind blew, and Taylor was gone. It wasn't the fact that no one wanted her around, it was just she was a handful sometimes.
