Chapter 10

Watch Your Back

Samantha was so easy to manipulate. Especially if you knew exactly how to wind her up which I do. She is just like Ingrid. Too proud for her own good. Her pride would get in the way and she would fight dirty. Samantha doesn't know me though. She may know slayer tricks but I learnt a few new things.

I left the classroom and went to my actual class. I somehow managed to get to English on time. But when I saw the words on the board I groaned. We were starting a new topic today. Romeo and Juliet. For our first lesson our teacher just wanted to get us familiar with the text so gave us all parts and we had to read through the play. I was actually beginning to enjoy it when Vlad walked in halfway through the lesson. I looked up. He was wearing his vampire leathers that means two things. Number one turning into a bat which wouldn't be a very good thing to do at this time as he had nowhere to go but around the school. Number two and most likely the Council had come for a visit.

"I need to talk to Erin Noble," Vlad told the English teacher.

"I'm sorry but whatever it is can wait until after class," she replied.

"I need to talk to Erin," Vlad said as his eyes turned unnaturally green.

It took me a few seconds to realise he was hypnotising her. I gasped. The teacher excused me and I got up.

"What do you think you're doing? Hypnotising a teacher. Vlad I thought you knew better," I whisper shouted.

"Trust me this isn't what you need to worry about. The Council are out for your blood," Vlad said.

"They have no grounds. They can't just kill me for no reason," I said trying to remember vampire law.

"Treason."

"What?" I gasped.

"They can kill you on the grounds of treason," Vlad repeated.

"But that means killing a monarch and I haven't done that. Well, you know that because you're standing in front of me."

"You threatened to kill their queen."

I froze. "She said what?"

"That you threatened to kill her," Vlad said.

"You don't believe her do you?" I asked.

"She had a recording of you saying that if she doesn't leave me alone you will kill her," Vlad said

"OK I never said that. She threatened me so I told her game on," I explained.

"Erin!" Vlad exclaimed.

"What? You know I don't like people threatening me. I can beat her at her own game," I told him.

"Just watch your back. The council have wanted your blood since they found our you were human and a slayer. This gives them a good excuse," Vlad said.

Vlad sped off leaving me alone in the corridor. God I really hated vampire speed. It gave them a really good way to storm out. I wiped the tears from my eyes and went back to class. The class instantly went quiet when I walked in. I knew that I always seemed to be disappearing from class and taking time off school. Living with vampires really had its effect on my school life. I sat and pretended to listen to what the teacher was trying to tell us.

ERIN NOBLE'S JOURNAL

I swear I know that I might have liked to stake Samantha but I would never do it. The only vampire I've ever killed was an accident. Why do I have to love Vlad? I swear this is too much and now I have the Council as my enemies.
