Hey Guys and Girls, I realize that I talk way too much about Will in this chapter, probably because Will is writing this chapter…

William's POV

I stepped through the huge oak front door, the rain dripped off my forehead, the others joined me. We stared down at the boxes of Christmas decorations, 'Alice did this didn't she?' I heard Clarice mutter, I laughed, Alice Cullen was probably one of the most spontaneous and outgoing person I had ever met. 'Spose we should get started' Christine sighed as she picked up some tinsel.

Christmas. What a funny concept, as a human I celebrated this...by myself; my mother never believed in Christmas, so I had no gifts... ever. But times change I guess, I hadn't celebrated it in over…

60 years.

But with this coven, they were my family, this is where I belonged.

I gazed, mesmerized by Kairi's beautiful ability, I watched as she manipulated the light and created crystalline orbs to gently float around the crimson poinsettias. It was soothing. Christmas would be here soon, only 20 days to go. I wasn't excited but I was glad I wasn't alone.

A soothing Christmas piano piece came from the corner, it was Elizabeth, she was so incredibly talented, I envied her musical talent, but oddly enough, after all the time knowing her, I still did not know what her ability was, if she even had one!

Reading thoughts around Christmas time is a bad thing; I'd rather not know what gifts I am to get, so around the 'Yuletide' time, I sort of shift out of the whole mind reading thing. I glanced at the Grandfather clock that the Cullen's had kindly donated to us, it was 9:30am; we were late!

"Guys, we better get going, I mean look at the time. We're a little bit late…" I ushered.

Clarice POV

'…We're a little bit late…' I heard from William's lips, I swiftly looked at the clock, he was right, I quickly gathered up my books, not that I would need them; I already knew most of the things inside of the creased pages, but it made me seem more human to carry around 'study' books.

Kairi POV

We arrived at school, having run all the way, and got there in time, Chris's mouth tightened at the sudden scent of blood, I shot a warning look at her.

William suddenly gasped, "It's her!"

We looked to see the blond female we had confronted earlier. William clenched his jaw at the sight of her, but luckily for us she hadn't spotted him…yet. I swiftly stood beside Will while the others went to introduce themselves to the girl, 'Forget her, Will, she's part of the past now, let it go.' I whispered to him.

He looked up with sympathetic golden eyes, he nodded slightly. There was something about Will that kept him sane, though I was unsure of what it was, we all had our secrets. I just wish I knew about my own secrets…

'Atrum…' I thought, 'What is Atrum…?'

Christine POV

We approached the unsuspecting human.

"Excuse me?" I chimed, she jumped in fright.

"Hi, I'm sorta… new here…" She trailed off as she saw our beautiful facial features.

She stuttered as she gathered what she was about to say. "You're all very pretty, kinda makes a girl jealous"-I heard from under her scarf, the human was jealous of us-

"It's really not all as good as it seems, thanks for the compliment though." I muttered sarcastically. I glanced back at Will and Kairi, they weren't talking. I glanced back at the girl… "

What's your name?" questioned Lizzie.

"Cora… I know it's a weird name." sighed the girl, she was anxious and she seriously wanted to get away from us, I could sense it.

"This is Elizabeth and Clarice." I said as I gestured towards them both.

I heard Kairi's voice as she approached,"…and this is Kairi and William"

Kairi smiled as I mentioned her to Cora. "This is Cora, she's new to the school" I said to Kairi.

"It's a pleasure to meet you" William whispered through his bared teeth, he held out his hand to shake hers, their eyes met, she gasped.

"Please don't hurt me…" she whined, tears were in her eyes, both hers and his facial expressions changed, hers to terror, his to shame. William backed away, and stood behind Kairi and Clarice.

"Get away from me!" Cora shrieked, Will was taken aback by the brutality of her words. He was in a lot of pain as he lowered his head.

Elisabeth's POV

I tried to think of an excuse for William's attack. "He… had had a lot to drink that ni-…"

"He tried to kill you" interrupted a high pitched voice, we turned… why did it have to be her, and now…!?
