Reviewer's Part:
HyperFitched – Thanks, I aim to build the tension a lot in this story at various times. I hope that it will all kick off as I aspire to make it a dramatic story, but not overdramatic and here is another chapter for you to read.
Wasitadream – I love the end of the last chapter too, I had to put that line in because I loved how Katie delivered it in the recent episode of Skins so it luckily made its way in there. I knew that from the moment I started writing that chapter that the line would make a feature in there. And as usual, I will provide you with this nice chapter so that you can read this one too.
Kala – Thanks for loving the story, hope you love this chapter too.
KairiM – Glad that you loved it again, and again, I'm glad that I used the phrase too and also, here is the next chapter and I look forward to your next review.
Texasgirl29 – Welcome to the story, thankfully you've come to it right at the beginning so I hope that you will become a loyal lover of the story. Thanks, I love how it is developing as well. Here is another chapter for you.
Faidey – Haha, thanks a lot! =]
Slushhy – I really like Katie too. And also, the story is moving a bit too slow for my liking too but I'd like to have a strong background and everything like that. And I'm considering an Emily Point Of View at some point as I think that it would be required to understand some of the later ideas.
Eternalwraps – I will also forever love that line. And yes, well wouldn't you be protective of Ems too? I know I would be. Haha, Dedicated fan!
Bubblehearts – Once again, it's a mint line. Thanks, and here is an update.
This chapter is especially dedicated to Eternalwraps who went outside of a club she was in just so she could read this story on her "Zune" which I assume is some kind of phone =]
I'm sick of being slapped around the city by people that I don't even know, especially "Katie fucking Fitch". Seriously, who the hell does she think she was? I've never even spoken to her in my two days here and she goes ahead and slaps me.
I had a lesson with her on my first day but it's not like I know who she is. All I know is that she's Emily's twin who is way too protective of Emily, I mean coming out of the way just to find me, threaten me and slap me to the ground. Someone needs some anger management or something.
I pulled myself off the ground and smoothed my clothes out and made sure that my hair and face looked alright before I went to the lesson. I found my way there quickly as I was finally starting to grasp a faint idea of my way around the building. I walked in the class and I was only five minutes late so I took a seat and pulled my book out.
My face still stung strongly but I wasn't going to cry over it and complain about it, I'd just have to cope with the pain and try and get on with my work.
"Excuse me for asking, but your cheek is rather red and looks painful, are you alright?" a boy with curly and dark hair asked me. I looked at him; rather taken back that someone was actually being nice in this college.
"Yeah, just a bit painful, but it's nothing much" I replied quietly.
"What happened if you don't mind me asking, because my mum always says that I shouldn't really ask questions if I don't know the person or know what's happened but then I always think that if you have to ask if they're alright then you don't really know the full extent of what had just happened." he said quickly and without taking a breath. "I'm sorry, I tend to ramble, I can't help it but I tend to get locked on when I'm talking to people that I'm not used to talking to"
"It's okay, nothing really happened, just Katie Fitch" I replied. His face dropped.
"That's sounds about right, she does have quite the temper unlike Emily who doesn't seem to have that much of a temper these days. Katie was never the one to calm down or be anywhere near calm. I'm JJ by the way. I'm friends with Emily and their little group" He told me. I thought this was a strange thing to admit.
"But you don't look anything like them, you're not a pale, perfect person" I said to him. I suddenly realised that that probably sounded really harsh and horrible, but then again, I'm sure he'd understand what I mean.
"I know what you mean, a lot of people look at me a lot different when I'm with them because I look so different and just because I am so different. I mean, Cook and Freddie were my friends from the start, ever since primary school and then they got bitten and... I've just dropped them in it. Shit, bollocks, fucking useless piece of shit, shitification"
"JJ! Please, stop. You're not helping!" I said to him in a hushed voice, trying to quieten him down so that everyone in the class wouldn't stare at us. "What do you mean you've just dropped them in it?" I asked him, trying to prise the information from him.
"I can't say, they'll kill me, literally. Well no, I mean they could but they wouldn't, well I like to think that they wouldn't with me being their friends and everything." He started to ramble again. I switched off as I knew that he would be debating with himself for a while.
"JJ! Either tell me or shut up" I said to him in a final voice. He looked at me scared, trying to decide whether he should tell me or not.
"I'm not sure whether I should. I mean you're new here and it could get you in to a lot of trouble and plus, Emily is right at the back of the class and she always knows what people are talking about, she can read their minds, she can understand people so quickly so she'd know and then she'd be mad at me and she'd have to sort you out. Either turn you or kill you off, shit I've said too much again, I'm sorry Emily, I'm sorry" He said quickly again. I didn't get what was with him speaking so quickly, I just couldn't keep up with it.
He said that Emily could read minds. I guess that makes the event on my first day a lot more understandable with how she knew where I wanted to go, how she could direct me. But also, it meant that she knew what I was thinking right now probably. Poor JJ, his friends were probably going to get really mad at him. I don't see why he keeps bringing up the fact that he will kill them or kill me off, it was so confusing.
"Okay, I understand, you can't tell me, I'll spare you." I said to him calmly, hoping to calm him down. His breathing and face seemed to go back to normal but then his breathing was stressed and irregular again suddenly and I looked to the side of him and saw that Emily was stood there with a pissed off look on her face. I had guessed that she had "heard" what JJ had said to me.
"JJ, get back to your work. Whereas I think that you and I need to have a word" She said, whilst pointing at me. I took a deep breath and wondered what the hell this word would be about.
"Jonathon! Naomi feels sick, I'm going to take her to the bathroom" She yelled out to him and dragged me out of the class. For once in my life I was scared. She didn't say a word but dragged me all the way to the fields to where we were sitting before.
"Sit down Naomi" She orders me. I know that I shouldn't be thinking this but damn, she is hot when she's ordering me around. I quickly sat down on the floor and get a cigarette out before holding out another for her to take. She shakes her head at me and I put it back in to the packet and then light my own. She sits down across from me.
"Naomi, what do you think of me?" She asks me.
"I think that you're confusing, that you're different from everyone else and I can't work out why. It messes my head up when I try to think about it. I can't fathom what is going on. I don't know why you and most of your friends all look the same, all act the same and such. It's just weird. Then I tried to get it out of JJ and he just didn't make sense. I know I haven't known you long Emily and well, I still don't but what the hell is all this?" I ranted. She looked at me with her eyes full of tears and rage.
"You're right, I'm not the same as anyone else and me and all my friends look the same. It's a confusing thing. I'm not just going to tell you, I'll hint things at you but I'm not just going to make it easy for you and tell you. I'll give you some help, but you have to piece in together and then work it out then tell me what you think of it all" I nodded. At least I would be getting some form of help from someone who knew what they were talking about.
"I've been around for a long time Naomi, I have perfect skin and extremely pale skin at that. When I walk in to the room everyone turns to look at me and can't stop looking at me for a long time. I'm a monster and it's so easy to get my prey." She started. I nodded.
"Well yeah, I've noticed all of that. Anything else?" I replied.
"My eyes are usually dark but change because of my mood, I have heavy dark rings around my eyes, I never sleep and I'm considered to be a myth" I was so confused. I took a drag of my cigarette and waited a moment before I could say anything.
"You're supposed to be a myth? Well that's useful, you know because there are plenty of myths out of there" I say to her.
"Go to the library, look at a computer, I'm not dead and I'm not alive. I'm sure that you'll find it. Maybe then you'll understand everything and maybe we can talk some more, well that's if you still want to talk to me after you find out" She said to me before getting up and walking off. I got up after I had finished my cigarette and returned to my lesson to find that she had not come back to her lesson.
JJ looked at me nervously; I gave him a smile so that he would know that everything is okay. I waited until the lesson ended and went to the library and logged on to a computer. I searched for some of the things that she had said to me and numerous results came up on to the screen. Mainly a Vampire website that was rather informative. I read the description of them and my eyes widened. This can't actually be true, I'm sure that she and her friends just base their appearance on these, there's no way in hell, but then again, she sounded deadly serious.
Vampire.
I walked out of the library and went to sit in the canteen, hoping that she would be on her break. I walked in and looked at her. I started to think how I would tell her to meet me somewhere without her friends all going mad at her or threatening me. That's when I figured it, if she can apparently read minds or thoughts or whatever, I'm sure that she could read mine.
Meet me on the pitch in five minutes. I thought hard. I looked over at her, it took a while and she looked in pain but a minute later she looked at me and nodded. I walked back out and went to stand on the pitch.
It was windy outside and my hair was blowing everywhere. I saw her walking towards me and when she got in front of me she stopped. She looked at me and I drew a deep breath.
"Vampire. You're a Vampire" I said to her, not believing what I was saying.
"Yes, does that scare you?" She asked me. I shook my head at her. "I'm a vampire, I'm dangerous, I've killed people before and you're not scared that we're out here alone where no one can see us when I could easily just bite you and drain you of your blood?" She asked.
"No, because you're not scary. I can't see you being dangerous and I can't see you biting me, I know that you wouldn't. I have the feeling that you just wouldn't be able to" I answered her. She looked shocked.
"Most people would be scared"
"I'm not most people" I said.

Reight, come on, give me a review and tell me what you thought of this chapter, or how it could have been improved or if you have any questions then send them to me and I will explain. This was a really hard chapter to write if I'm honest, I had so many different approaches to it, I guess that this one won.
