Oh the reviews, I lub dem! Anyways, I love Eli's creepiness in Jesus Etc. I have a feeling it's only me though. :D I love the morbid ones!

Clare's Pov

I climbed up a tree as I thought of Eli's reaction. It showed horror, and fear but also, concern.

No one had ever been concerned about me. No one except Alli.

At the top of the tree, the wind played in my hair; tears fell over my icy cheeks. I pushed them off abruptly. Why was I crying? There was no reason to cry.

I buried my head into my now folded arms. Where am I going to stay? Will he ever talk to me again?

I heard Eli climb up the tree. "Clare," he called from behind. I stood to leave, but Eli spun me around.

I tried to leave so I wouldn't have to smell him, but he held me still, "It's okay Clare, you've changed back."

"I should, uh, I should go." I struggled again, and was still held in place.

I sighed, "What is it, Eli? I know you saw what happened down there."

Eli smirked slightly, "When you said your family was old fashion, I didn't expect it like that."

I shrugged and he continued, "But, Clare, if you want to be a normal vampire, you can't kill innocent mortals. If you keep doing this, then the Dark Royals will step in.

"No!" I yelled, clenching my fist. I couldn't-I wouldn't-let that happen.

"Okay, so your new life will be fine if you follow the rules."

Rubbing my fore head, I sighed, "Can we talk about that later? I'm kind of tired now."

"Come on," Eli grabbed my hand and we jumped from the 56 foot tree.

The impact we had on the ground was light, only moving a few pine needles. I rubbed my eyes tiredly. Eli surprised me by sweeping me into his arms.

I started to protest but stopped when I yawned.

As I drifted into sleep, I heard Eli mumble to himself.

"Wait until the guys hear of this."

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

I slowly awoke from my sleeping state. I was in a warm bed with a very fluffy comforter on top of me.

After stretching, I slipped out of the bed, in the same clothes as yesterday.

I looked at a clock on the wall that read the time of 4:27.

I examined the bright yellow room. Several black and white pictures hung on the wall, several of a young woman along with a young boy. One in particular stood out. It was in color of a summer afternoon with the sight of the woman, a young version of Eli, and, most likely, Eli's father.

I took down the frame and smiled at the joyful of expression of the hugging family.

Family. Oh, how I long for a family, I thought. Or at least Alli. I wonder what she is doing now. She is probably out protecting my cover or relaxing somewhere away from palace life.

I walked towards the door, after I place the picture back, and waited for it to open. Once it did, it revealed Eli.

His hair was astray and he was wearing baggy, black clothing.

"Someone is an early riser," Eli stretched and yawned.

I shrugged, "Habit." I looked at my bag in the corner, "Um, I need to-,"

"-change?" Eli had already closed the door.

I called as I made my way to my bag, "Stop finishing my sentences! Thank you!"

Sitting down on the bed, I fumbled through my bag until I found what to wear.

It was a black t-shirt with a heart shaped lock on it, along with a black jean skirt and flats.

I reached and my bag and slowly pulled out my favorite chocker. It was a black velvet band with a dark sapphire pendent on the front. Alli had given it to me last year on my birthday. Sometimes, when the sun hit it just right, it almost matched the color of my eyes.

I began tying my hair back, when I shouted, "Come in."

Eli walked in, dressed in a black cardigan with a black long-sleeved dress shirt with a black tie. Over the dress shirt, he wore a gray jacket.

I smiled as I tied the chocker around my pale neck. The thought of Alli was overwhelming. I missed her. A single tear made its way down my cheek.

When I went to push it away, Eli had wiped it away with his thumb.

I looked down, feeling vulnerable. Eli lifted my chin and smirked comfortingly, "What's the matter?"

I stepped back and began organizing my backpack.

"Just a little homesick," I whispered, "Or rather I miss my blood sister."

Alli and I were blood sisters in two ways. Since we were kids, we have been inseparable.

"So do you have brothers?" Alli and I were sitting on a park bench at the age of five.

I shook my head, "I have a sister though. Do you have a brother?"

"Yeah, but he is at college." Alli nodded.

"Darcy is too!" I smiled.

Alli cocked her head to the side "Who?"

"My sister." I laughed as she exaggerated and 'oh'.

One day, we had come to the conclusion that we would only be really sisters if we had the same blood. We pricked our fingers and pushed them against the other's finger. Since then, I had always considered Alli my sister, though now I see as how we bonded quite childish now.

The second way, and the most reasonable, is that we have the same blood father, or we both have the same maker. He had changed use both into vampires, and I hate him with every fiber of my being. I call him Father, while Alli calls him Master. Since Father considered me prettier than Alli, I was chosen as the Dark Princess, and she my lady in waiting.

"I am sorry about that. Do you know where she is? Maybe we could find her."

Almost nodding, I shook my head no, "That's alright. Thanks to her, I'm safe." I smiled

Eli pointed his elbow out, "Well then may I escort you to school?"

I grabbed my bag and walked past him, "In your dreams, Eli."

Fluffy sort of. Just wanted to give it depth. Take note, I do writing everything I do in this story for a reason. Review please!
