Here is the next chapter. I kinda like this chapter but I did get some of the stuff from Degrassi ( The test thing and asking to move in but on the show they were different) There is stupid brat at school saying crap about me, so please don't leave me a flame.

The real vampire: Thank you! Yeah, I believe what she said is true too (but hey I wrote it!) . It's kind of like trying smoking, you think it's nasty at first but you are strangely addicted to it ( I don't smoke I just know from the people around me that do). I changed the chapter's name, but it's just a name.

BiccaBoo: Is Kira in love? Maybe…maybe not! I'll keep you guessing for a while! And I'd be mad at you if you liked her dad:-P

Jnr Cpl Scarlett: As famous as 'Romeo and Juliet' is I'm one of the losers that doesn't know what the whole story is about! The nearest thing I've read is a book called 'Romiette and Julio' (it's a pretty good book), by Sharon Draper. I can't tell you where this is going but you gave me a couple of ideas! Thanks!

Princess moon shadow: You'll see who finds out…maybe more than one person…Are you curious because you haven't told anyone? Besides the people here?

Chapter 8 A New Sanctuary

By Ukume

Kira got to first period which was health. She hadn't done her homework but the teacher almost never took it for a grade. Kira yawned. She hadn't been able to sleep to well the night before and Cassidy poking fun at her a few minutes ago wasn't any help.

"Alright everyone, don't take out your books just get out a clean sheet of paper and something to write with. Pop quiz to see if you've been studying", said Mr. Pullen.

No way, Kira thought she knew almost absolutely nothing of what they had be studying on. Cassidy who was sitting in front of her said, "Break a leg, hun". Kira would have loved nothing more than to smack her face that second, but she didn't need to get in trouble again.

Kira looked down at her paper and her mind went blank. She remembered almost nothing except a couple of questions.

It was lunch now and Kira couldn't focus on anything. She just stared down at her quiz.

27. It included a note, You need to study more and I need this back signed by Friday.

There's nothing I can do about it now, shethought, except let it go and get it signed.

"Hey, Kira!" said Cassidy and Kira rolled her eyes, "What did you make on Mr. Pullen's pop quiz?"

Kira held the grade up to her face, "Oh…well you can always raise your grades. Anyway, how are you and Hunter?"

"Why do you care?"

"I'm bored and Devon has started acting really weird around me", she said taking a bit of a brownie.

"For a person that was able to figure out things about me and Hunter you are blind! Can't you tell that Devon has started to like you more than a friend?" she said raising her eyebrows.

"Are you serious?" Cassidy said in shock and Kira nodded.

A girl passed by Kira and handed her a note. It read:

What's up bitch? Now I heard you got into a fight with Delores and you know she's my friend. If you mess with her again I'll fuck you up so bad you won't know what happened! Clear? Look over to our table and nod to say you understand.

With great displeasure Kira looked over to where Delores and Clare were and nodded.

"Kira, where are you going?" asked Cassidy.

"I need to go to the bathroom", she said and did. She went into a stall and stood there and pulled out her house key from her pocket. She didn't want to do it but at the same time she did. She pulled the key across the skin below her wrist. No blood come out…all that was made was a scratch and then she thought, This is stupid…I'm not going to cut over something like, this and she didn't.

After school she went over to Hunter's place.

"How was school?" he asked.

"What are you? My dad?" she asked sarcastically.

"I hope not", he said slyly as he pulled her by the waist into a kiss.

"You doing ok so far", Kira asked Hunter on being alone.

"Better than I thought…mostly because you come here almost everyday", Hunter said truthfully.

"Aww…thank you", Kira said knowing that would embarrass him.

She stayed over for awhile, they watched a movie and then Hunter persuaded her to let him tag along when she went for groceries.

"Hey, I'll drive you home", Hunter said.

"Fine, but you're gonna have to wait outside", Kira said.

"Fine with me", and so Hunter drove her home and he helped her get everything off of the car and Kira put everything in the house. She had left all of the food on the living room floor in paper bags and her mom had tried to pick up a few.

"Wait here", she said and went inside, "Mom, leave the stuff where it is, I'll get it". And she went upstairs.

Kira heard a clang! Downstairs and she let out a groan of frustration and said, "I said I could get it! Ok, you just go back to the couch and go back to sleep I got the groceries", Kira said as she walked back downstairs, "Oh my God!" she said as she saw Cecile bleeding badly, "Mom, what did you do?" And then she saw that she had fallen into the small glass table and broken it.

Hunter heard the commotion inside and couldn't help it and went it. Kira was on the floor with her mom, who was bleeding very badly, "What happened?"

"I don't know but she won't stop bleeding", Kira said frantically.

"Calm down. Get me some alcohol and bandages", Hunter said. In about half an hour Hunter had most of Cecile's major cuts in bandages. They cleaned up the mess of the broken table. Kira pulled her mom's messy hair into a ponytail and Hunter helped her lay Cecile on the couch. Kira went upstairs and brought down a blanket and put it over Cecile.

"Thank you for that", said Kira.

"And now I now I know why you were so upset the day you saw me drunk", said Hunter, "and I am so really sorry. I cannot believe you saw me like that especially since you see you mom like this everyday".

"I already told you that it's ok".

"No it's not. Anyway, how can you call this place home?"

Kira looked over at him and handed him a cup of coffee, "It hasn't felt like home in a long time. My mom never listens to what I say. It's just a roof I live under", she said taking a sip.

Hunter struggled for a few minutes and than said, "How – how would you like to live with me?"

Kira looked up at him immediately, "What?"

"You heard me and you do spend most of your time at my place I just thought…never mind. Listen call me if anything else happens and I'll see you tomorrow. It's late and I have to go to work tomorrow", he said.

"Oh, ok I'll see you tomorrow then", said Kira and he left.

After awhile Kira turned off all the lights and went upstairs to her room. She curled onto her bed and fell asleep with a slight smile on her face.

"He asked me to move in with him", Kira said to Cassidy the next day.

Her eyes widen, "He did?"

"Yeah, I think. I mean he did say 'How would you like to live with me' and they're pretty much the same thing…right?"

"Uh…yeah! My advice to you is to decide which place you would be happier and let that decide for you", said Cassidy.

"Thanks and I still can't believe I came to you for this", said Kira almost shuddering.

"What are friends for?"

"Don't ruin it by trying to make me gag", said Kira.

Kira got home at three after another disastrous day.

"Hey, mom. You feeling ok?" she asked and looked over at her. Cecile nodded but just barely, "My music teacher let me sing one of my songs today and she said it needed a lot of work. Um…I need this paper signed to show that you saw my test grade." Kira continued to talk even though she knew Cecile could barely understand what she was saying, "Hunter asked me to move in with him yesterday, I don't know if you heard him or not. Cassidy said I should choose to stay at the place where I would be most happy at. My dad hasn't called in a while. This girl I got into a fight with at school, sort of threatened me. I don't think she's as tough as she seems. I just wish you could listen to what I say to you, mom. It would really help", Kira said her voice cracking.

She looked over at the phone and thought for a minute and then she dialed Hunter's number.

It rang four times before anyone picked up, "Hello, who's this?"

"Hey, Hunter it's me Kira."

"Oh, hey…about what I said yesterday – " but Kira cut him off.

"Can you come and help me pack my stuff?"

"Really? I mean what about your mom?"

"I can come and check on her everyday. I gave a good thought on it today and I'd really like to live with you. And I think it'll help the both of us and I'm sure so don't ask", she said knowing how he was.

"K. I'll be there in a few", and he hung up.

They got to his apartment at ten. Kira had left all her music stuff at 'home' and only brought her guitar, school stuff, and clothes anything else she would have to go back for.

Even though she had only been there for an hour or so she felt more at home than she had in a long time.

Kira and Hunter slept on the floor again with a warm blanket. Hunter had fallen asleep with his arm around her and she was still awake with her eyes rolling and looking around her new surroundings. Her new sanctuary.
