Chapter Seven
We walked along on a newly made path to our destination. Dylan talked about what the guys did before they went to sleep while I listened.
"That's interesting, but weren't we here to teach me vamp basics?"
"Yes. I was trying to make sure you knew how to pay attention. Since it is almost clear that you do, we can go ahead and start with the rest."
"Wont it be a little bit hard to learn vampire things if I'm not one yet?"
"It would be if I were teaching you the vampire part to the basics, but I am schooling you in the human arts of the vampire. It will be easier once you half turn, but for now you can learn to appreciate the abilities you will receive." He is wearing that stupid smile of his again…
Suddenly I don't think he is going to take it easy on me. Doesn't that suck.(pardon the pun) Oh well. How hard could it be?
"Okay. We will start with the art of being invisible in plain sight. I'm going to show you how half-vamps do it then I'm going to show you how humans do it."
"Alright." With my reply he closes his eyes and slowly fades from sight until I can't see him there at all. I quickly turn around looking for him. I don't find him until I stop. He is standing directly in front of me. "Wow!"
"All I get is a wow? The way you were spinning around looking for me constitutes at least a 'WOW! THAT WAS TOTALLY AWSOME!' don't you think?" He sarcastically replies.
"Okay then. 'redo' Wow that was totally awesome!" He bursts out laughing. I didn't think it was that funny but hey if it works it works…
"Okay that's good enough. Lets turn you invisible now. I want you to think of a big crowd. Like in a school hallway." I do as he says and immediately the scenery in my mind changes to that of an average school hallway.
"Very good. Now for a human to be unseen they have to blend in. So do what they" he gestures towards the people in the hallway "are doing. Got it?"
"Yeah, I think so." I walk into the crowd and randomly start talking to people and slowly I become unnoticed. Dylan then finds me and pulls me out of the crowd.
"Good. Now I am going to teach you how a vampire does it. We won't be able to tell if you are actually getting it yet but we will be able to try in a couple of days."
"Okay."
"First we concentrate on not wanting to be seen. Then we will ourselves to not be seen or remembered. I showed you earlier in slow motion so you would actually see it working. Otherwise you would still be waiting for me to show you."
"That's all there is to it?" Hmm. I figured it would be harder.
"Yea that and a whole lot of practice." Here comes the smile. "So on to something a little bit differ-"
"Jes! Jes, wake up." It was Erin.
"Wadaya want? I'm trying to sleep."
"I need to talk to you. I'm pretty sure that you know what its about." Oh great, Dylan's vampireness again.
"Erin, why can't you jus let it go?"
"Because you're my friend. Friends don't let friends drink and drive. This boy is about to hand you some keys after treating you to a bar of him. We all realize how hot he is, but you need to call a cab honey."
"Erin, please calm down. If you'll let me go back to sleep I'll talk to you all that you want me to in the morning okay?"
"Not okay. I'm worried about you Jes. He just wants to get in your pants and you are going to get hurt."
"Erin! You don't even know him. I'll talk to you in the morning. Good night."
"You are so not getting out of this Jes."
"Good night, Erin."
"What happened!? Where id you go?" Dylan exclaims as I reappear exactly where I was.
"Erin woke me up. She wanted to drill me on you again."
"Again? Why did she drill you about me in the first place? Did you tell her?"
"Well kind of. I was excited and she is only my best friend. She thinks I am crazy for trusting you and that you just want to get in my pants." I have turned cherry red at about thsi point. "I think we might have to bring her into one of my dreams."
He sighs. "Wonderful. Well I guess that I could walk into one of her dreams. Wow, I didn't think that anything like this would happen. Oh man. Well lets stop teaching you for now and deal with Erin."
"Alright. What do you need me to do?"
A few minutes later we were walking through Erin's mind. She was sitting on a rock while we were approaching. The moment that she saw us she jumped up.
"Why are you guys in here? Jesus! Now I'm dreaming about ou two."
"Its okay Erin. I just wanted to prove to you that he is real. That I wasn't kidding you."
"And you were planning on doing this how?"
"Through a dream walk. We are sort of invading one of your dr4ams right now. When we wake up, I'll remind you of it."
"Umm... sure."
"Alright Jes. We have to go now."
"Okay, lets go. See you in the morning Erin. Sweet dreams."
"We will continue with the whole learning thing tomorrow night. Lets just get some sleep."
"Okay then. Night, don't let the bed bugs bite. Or wait, should that be something else?"
"Oh yes. Very funny." Time for that beautiful smile to pop up. "See you in the morning."
I woke up to Denna drying her hair. I yawned, sat upright, and promptly threw my pillow at her. I was soon mimicked by the other girls. I then pulled Erin to one side as the pillow throwing continued.
"Do you believe me now?" I asked wickedly.
"Oh my gosh. I thought that I was just having uber wierd dreams. Holy cow!"
"Shhh! I don't want anyone else to know."
"Oh...Okay. You still aren't getting out of that interrogation though. Right now I'm starving. Hey ladies! Lets go get some breakfast."
We headed to the kitchen for breakfast, knocking on the guys' door on the way. When we got there the guys had already gotten most of the food devoured. So we scrambled around and tried to salvage something before they got to it, but there really wasn't anything left to eat.
"Hey I found granola!" Natalie exclaimed triumphantly.
"No you didn't!" Brandon sang while snatching the food away from her.
"Agh... What are we supposed to eat? And why didn't you guys wake us up?"
"We all know you need your beauty sleep." Brandon arrogantly replies in a surprisingly serious manner. "Ouch!"
Denna had punched him... hard.
"Dammit Denna! I was kidding. I fink you bwoke my nose!"
"Its not bleeding, you're fine."
We all laugh at that, but I get him some ice to be on the safe side. Then Ashleigh comes up with the perfect solution. "Since you guys got breakfast we get lunch. Does that sound good to you girls?"
We all put in a few yeas, Mmm Hmms, and sures.
"That is totally not fair." Jackson yells in indignation.
"Too bad for you guys then huh?" Erin laughs.
We leave the house with the guys still grumbling about how unfair we are and start walking towards the mall.
"Hey it could be worse guys. Live with it. We might sneak you some food." I say.

All the chicks in the group burst out laughing when the guys' face's lift at the thought. We all yell out 'Yea right! That will happen!' Then us girls start to run while the guys chase us down the street still laughing.
