A.N/ Thanks if you reviewed! Sorry that I don't update very often…

Alexis hung out with Alex and Cassie the rest of the day. When they left though, her mom had some news.

"Honey, I've set up some appointments with the school guidance counsellor." She said calmly.

"Mom, I'm not seeing a guidance counsellor." Alexis said. She just… wouldn't. She didn't want to talk to someone about her problems… especially not the guidance counsellor.

Her mother shook her head. "A psychologist then." Alexis shook her head again.

"So what? Now you've finally decided to be a mother?" Alexis asked, glaring at her mother.

"I have always been a good mother."

"No, you haven't. I'm going out for a drive to think."

Alexis walked out the door, and decided she'd just walk instead. She walked for a while before she was downtown.

She wanted to drink again. She still had the fake I.D that Alyssa had given her.

She knew a short cut down an alley that would take her straight to the club.

She was scared. She hadn't realised how dark the alley was. She was almost out by now…

She was absolutely horrified when something grabbed her arm. Alexis tried to scream, but no sound came out.

***

Alex didn't know why, but he found himself walking down a dark alley . Something had drawn him here… He had no clue what.

He kept walking. He saw a girl. And a vampire. The vampire was saying something to her.

He realized that the vampire was his cousin, Raven… What was she doing here? Visiting? But he recognized the girl. It was Alexis.

No. This couldn't be happening. But it was.

He walked closer, and now he could hear what Robin was saying.

"Our family is in danger. Because of you. Alex will die. Because of you. This is your fault. Amanda asked me do to this." Alexis looked horrified.

Robin was eyeing her neck.

"Your probably wondering why our family is in danger. Its because were vampires. So Alex should have already-"

"Will you just kill me already?" Robin laughed, and bit into her neck. Alex lunged at her.

The next few moments were crazy. Alex and Robin were snapping at each others throat.

Alexis was really scared. Her neck hurt where the vampire had bit into her neck. She couldn't believe that Alex was a vampire. She wouldn't believe it. He was so… normal. But then she remembered something. There had been something like a silver cord connecting them when they kissed… Did that have anything to do with it? Did this mean Cassie was a witch? Was Jake a vampire too? Everything was so confusing. Tears were streaming down her face.

When she was half way home, a car pulled up beside her. What if it was the vampire? She was scared. She was relieved to see it was Cassie.

"Hey. Do you wanna go for a ride?" Alexis nodded, and got in her car.

"Your probably wondering how I knew where to find you." Cassie murmured.

"Well, I had a vision…"

***

Alex didn't want to kill Robin. They were still family… But what other choice did he have? Robin was very loyal to her family. She'd tell the council that a human knew about the Night World. But he just couldn't kill her.

She was unconscious. He scooped her up, and walked out to his car. He put her in the back seat.

He drove back to his apartment. He picked up Robin, and opened the door.

Amanda was sitting inside the apartment, staring blankly at the T.V.

"Is she dead?" Amanda blurted out, as soon as he walked through the door. They both knew that she didn't mean Robin.

"No. She's fine. Robin bit her though. And now Alexis knows what we are." He said.

Amanda grinned. "More reasons to kill her." She said.

"I wont let you or anyone else kill her." Alex said.

"How can you stop me? I will kill her. It will help you realise that humans are just vermin. That's all they ever have been, and all they ever will be."

Alex gritted his teeth together.

"Humans are people. Were no better than they are." Amanda just laughed.

***

Alexis was shocked. She wasn't scared anymore, just shocked. Cassie had explained everything. Vampires, witches, shape shifter's and werewolves all existed… It was so hard to believe. But she could easily believe it.

She understood why Amanda wanted her dead. She put her brother in danger. Alex could possibly die because of her loving him.

But Alexis still loved Alex and she couldn't help that.

"Cassie?" Alexis said, and Cassie knew that she had a question.

"Mhmm?"

"When was Alex made a vampire?"

Cassie frowned. She knew that Cassie would rather Alexis not know about the Night World.

"Well… He wasn't made a vampire. He was born as one. There are two types of vampires," Cassie explained. "The made one's, and the Lamia. Lamia are born vampires, while made ones, are well, made into vampires. Lamia can have kids and grow up and choose when to stop aging. Made vampires are frozen at the age that they were made into vampires, and can't have kids or stuff like that." Cassie murmured.

Alexis nodded, and the car went silent again as she thought.

"Are you ready to go home now?" Cassie asked quietly.

"Yeah. That's probably a good idea."

Cassie drove Alexis to her house, and she was greeted by an angry mother.

"Where have you been!?" Her mother demanded as soon as she walked out the door.

"Cassie picked me up, and we hung out."

"Do you know what time it is?" Her mother practically yelled. "Its passed 2:00 AM!"

"Sorry. I'm going to bed."

Alexis couldn't sleep She tossed and turned all night, thinking about vampires. Witches. Werewolves. Shapeshifters.

It was all too scary. But it was reality.

Then she thought about one thing she'd forgotten to ask- what did Jake have to do with any of this? Was he a werewolf? Vampire? Shapeshifter? Witch? Could he be a human like her? She didn't think he was. He'd always seemed different, and this was the perfect explanation.
