HELLO FELLOW FANFICTIONERS!

Here is my second chapter of the day!

It is a long one, but in this chapter you find out the reason why Dan is the way I have portrayed him in previous chapters.

Anyway on with the story!

Enjoy!

The school bell rang, signalling the end of the day, I hadn't spoke to Dan since he stormed out of the piano room in music class. Walking home, I noticed that he was walking just a few meters in front of me, "HEY, DAN!" I shouted "WAIT UP!" I began to sprint towards him, he continued to walk on, his pace picking up a little, I managed to catch up with him, "Dan, are we still on for my house at four?" I asked him, "Yeah, I'll be over at four." He replied, his chocolate brown hair covered his eyes he continued to walk on, his head facing his feet, he was still in a bad mood. I could tell.

"Dan... You ok?" I started to feel concern for him, "I'm fine." He replied, his monotone voice had returned, "You sure?" I asked him "Yes, I'm fine, I'm sure." He mumbled, "You don't look it.." I argued, "I'M FINE, FOR GOD'S SAKE!" He yelled making me jump, realising how he had acted he looked up, looking sorrowful "Sorry, I shouldn't have done that, I didn't mean to yell." He lamented "It's fine." I sighed "I shouldn't have aggravated you." I finished, and continued to walk with Dan back to my house, I said goodbye to Dan and told him I'd see him at four, he nodded and walked to his house, right next to mine.

As I closed the door behind me, I sighed once more; it had been a long day. " Alice? Is that you, darling?" I heard my mum call from the kitchen, "Yeah mum, it's me" I called back to her, my mother came out of the kitchen in her apron, which was covered in flour which also included her hands being covered too, I gave her a surprised look, "I'm baking a lemon cake, anyway, how was your first day?" She asked smiling at me hopeful of a positive reply "It was alright, I guess." I answered "You guess? Something go wrong honey?" She inquired her face changing from hopeful to concerned as she did so "I got lost a few times that's all mum, tomorrow will be a better day. I promise." I lied through my teeth as I answered her smiling widely as I did so.

"Aww honey, I'm sorry." She sympathised "I'm completely certain that tomorrow will be a be a better day." She clapped her hands together, flour particles flew into the air as she did that, "Hey mum?" I began "Yes darling?" She looked at me with that hopeful look in her eye again as she waited for my reply, "I have a... A friend coming over at four to help me with a school project, is that ok?" I informed her, "Of course darling, who's your new friend?" She beamed.

"Dan, Dan Howell." I answered "Dan Howell? As in our next door neighbours: the Howell's son?" She asked me curiosity filling her voice, "Yeah mum, the Howell's son." I nodded, "They helped us move in, they're very nice people." Mum smiled at me "Ok darling, you better get ready for you study date in twenty minutes time." She teased, "Mum! It's not a study date!" I groaned, my mother laughed and walked back into the kitchen to finish off baking her lemon cake.

Twenty minutes flew by and before I knew it, it was four o' clock, I had changed out of my school uniform and into my black super skinny jeans and my Fall Out Boy: Save Rock and Roll tour t-shirt. The doorbell rang, I ran down the stairs and opened the door, and there he was, Dan Howell, stood in my doorway, "Hey." I smiled "Hey." He replied still in his monotone voice "Come in." I gestured my hand for him to do so, he walked in, "My bedroom's this way, follow me." I began to walk up to my room, Dan followed suit, we got to the bedroom and I ushered Dan to sit on the bed, as I collected some stationary and some paper to start our project.

"Umm... How about we listen to some music while we work?" I offered, Dan nodded slightly, I put my one of my favourite albums on: Black Holes and Revelations by Muse, as soon as 'Take a Bow' began to play Dan's head shot up, "Woah, you like Muse too?!" He asked looking surprised "Yeah, of course I do, they're one of my favourite bands!" I replied "They're one of my favourites too!" He chuckled, his eyes glistening.

"What other bands do you like?" He asked, eagerly awaiting my answer, "Well I like: Paramore, Sleeping With Sirens, All Time Low, Pierce The Veil, Imagine Dragons, Bastille, Coldplay, A Day To Remember, Evanescence, Green Day, Bon Jovi, Linkin Park, Muse, You Me At Six, 30 Seconds To Mars, The Pretty Reckless, ACDC, Guns N' Roses, Journey, Bring Me The Horizon, Nirvana, Our Last Night, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco and my all time favourite: My Chemical Romance." I listed all the bands I knew and loved "Rock and Metal girl." He smirked "I like that, I think that we'll get along very well." His smirk turning into a huge grin.

I grinned back at him "So what bands do you like?" It was my turn to ask him the question "I like basically every band you've mentioned there, but who's Our Last Night?" He replied "Oh My God... You've heard of Our Last Night?!" I was shocked "Nope, never heard of them." He shrugged "You, Dan Howell, are missing out!" I pulled out my iPad and went to my music and selected my favourite song by them, "Here, listen to this." I paused my stereo player and pressed play on my iPad it began to play 'Sunrise' I watched Dan's reaction to it throughout the song and when the song had finished playing he looked at me "They're good, I like them." He smiled, "I told you that you were missing out!" I giggled.

He began to laugh with me, "Yes, yes you did." He agreed still chuckling, "Well I know that this is more fun than a project about reproduction, but we better get started on it." He nodded still smiling at me, "Yeah, you're probably right, I don't want Miss Adler beheading me and putting my head on a spike for an incomplete project." He said, again still chuckling "Woah, that's dark, that's a really dark thing to say." I gave him a weird look "What? I'm just saying that's what it's like getting in trouble with Miss Adler." He said in a as-a-matter-of-fact tone, "Ooh has Daniel got into trouble with the queen of evil that is Miss Adler?" I joked, Dan shuddered and nodded, I went to ask him but he cut me off "Don't ask... Seriously you don't wanna know..." He shuddered again.

We began to work on our project, talking to each other about what we like and dislike, what we love to spend time doing and what we don't like to spend time doing, who well liked and who we absolutely hated and about school in general, it turned out that me and Dan had a lot in common, and he had began to befriend me, I was quite happy with this, I had made my first ever friend, "So what about you?" He asked "Do you have any other talents other than music-wise?" "I do yes, I like to paint and sketch and draw, I have an art book here, if you want to have a look at it if you like?" I offered him, Dan beamed and nodded "If that's ok with you?" "Of course it is." I giggled again.

I got off my bed and retrieved the art book from my wardrobe, and handed it to Dan, who looked through it, "Woah, these are really good" he said looking really impressed "Thanks.." My cheeks blushed a deep pink colour, "Dan, can I-" I stopped as I suddenly tripped over something, smacking my head on the corner of my cabinet as I fell, I groaned in pain and placed my hand to where I hit my head in an attempt to soothe the burning sensation on the side of my forehead.

"Alice! Oh my god, are you ok?!" Dan's voice filled with concern, rushing over to my side, helping me up and back onto the bed "Oh ow..." I groaned again, "Let me have a look" Dan said as he moved my hand away from my head, Dan suddenly leapt back from me, covering his mouth as he did, "Dan what's wrong?" I looked down at my hand to find a crimson-coloured liquid on my hand. It was Blood.

I looked back up at Dan, he was looking down, his hair covering his face, hand still over his mouth, he was shaking furiously, "Dan, what's wrong? It's only blood." I stated "Nothing to be afraid of."

Suddenly Dan's head shot up and looked at me, I began to feel fear as I looked back at him, his deep, deep brown eyes had changed to a ruby red colour, he was snarling which revealed two sharp fangs, "Blood... I need blood..." He began to laugh in a maniac way, "D-Dan.. W-what's going on..?" I stuttered, fear overwhelming me, "Because I'm a monster." Dan's voice echoed in my head, everything then began to make sense.

Dan Howell was a vampire...
