Chapter 6

Kevin's POV

Kyle seemed so upset when I told him that Zelda was gone. As he walked away from me, his head was hung down so far, it seemed like his neck might snap. One thing was weird about him though. His skin felt so cold, it was like he spent his time away from school in an ice bath. But, oh my god, seeing Kyle so sad and distant, it made me feel bad for telling him that Zel left.

He looked like he had something to tell me and he was much more pale than usual. He'll tell me whatever it was when he's ready. I mean, why wouldn't he? The two of us have been as close as brothers since before we could spell 'dog', we should be able to tell each other anything.

Kyle's POV

I felt bad about not telling Kevin that I'm a vampire. I just thought that since I was so upset, the words might have come out too loud. I got to chem. class quicker then usual. It was probably from lack of someone to talk to. Tomorrow's the last day of school. I should not be able to work out any excitement, but I was too upset to have excitement of any kind.

When school was over on the last day, I had made my decision; I was going to get Kevin to help me find my girlfriend. "What," he asked loudly, "Are you nuts, there's no way you'll find her. There's probably more than one high school in Albuquerque."

"Then we'll search each one 'til we find her!"

"Okay, for the sake of not having schools destroyed, she's attending Albuquerque's West High School."

"Thank you for telling me, now I don't have to break anything." I smirked when I said it. Not a playful or sarcastic smirk, but a smirk that said, 'I would've done it'. I had already told Kevin that I was a vampire.

"Okay," I said, "Let's go."

"Let me know if you find her."

"Oh, you'll be the first to know."

"Really, that's great."

"Oh yeah, you'll be first to know… because you're coming with me!"

"Blood-suckin'-friend say what!?"

"You're coming with me." And then, we set off.

When we got to Albuquerque, it was really sunny. I think some people assumed that I was a mirage caused by the early summer heat. Either that or those who are fans of DC comics would think I'm 'The Flash' or something. I saw a building that said, 'West High School' in big blue and gold letters at the front of the building. I was running so fast, that I just crashed through the whole building. I left quite a hole. But, I saw Zelda in the first hallway that I crashed through. "What happened to not breaking anything," Kyle exclaimed.

"I saw her," I said, "In my next run through, I'm not gonna break anything, but I am going to grab her!" When I started to run through again, I heard someone say, "Duck, it's comin' around again!" As I grabbed her, she seemed kind of upset. "Put me down," she started, "You… you… whatever you are!" I put her down in a forest near the school. I then said, "Look at me Zel. Really look at me."

"Kyle," she said, "Kyle is that you?"
