A/N: Guys I'm sorry I took so long to update, so because I'm feeling nice tonight (trust me I am, I want to buy my friend some £30 shoes S) I'm going to put 2 chapters up.
Jess is back on Wednesday so it'll be back to writing loads for us from then on. Though we have written up to chapter 17 (minus 16 which I need to write) so we're cool for now.
Thanks to: littlexmissxcooperx and kt for the reviews. They make me happy. XD
Okay guys, read:
Previously:
"Help! How can you help? Your useless! Why do you even care?" He lurched forward as if to attack me, but stopped as his body began to tremble slightly.
Panic!
Oh god. Why did I shout at her? What the hell possessed me? I'm never in that sort of mood. Well no so much that I reject everyone. I sighed. I better go say sorry. I got up out of the indentation I had made in my bed after sitting there for a while. I never set out to hurt or annoy Anastasia. Already, even after only this short time, she was one of my closest friends. She seemed to know me better than anyone else in the coven. It was a strange feeling having someone care about me enough to notice. When I was human my mother was always out or drunk and on the streets I was lucky if someone would even look at me and throw a few pennies my way, not the nicest way to live. Having Anastasia watch me, try to learn things from me, or even just smile at me, lifted me out of any of my moods. Lilly and Mallik used to try but it never had the affect that it does with Anastasia. It upset me to hear her dry sob from the other side of the door and especially knowing I caused it. I hesitated at her door. Although I knew she was only a few meters away it seemed like lifetime of continuous walking away.
Another loud cry stopped my thoughts quickly and flung me back into reality. I took a deep breath to calm myself. Gingerly, I opened the door and poked my head round it. Curled up in a foetal position on the bed was Anastasia. Seeing her like this stabbed at my chest like a knife. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she barely registered that I had even walked into the room, until I coughed loudly. "What do you want?" she spat at me. Okay, you deserved that, I told myself.
"I wanted to apologise. I…"
"You can go stuff your apology up your arse! I don't want to hear it." She turned away from me. It whipped my emotions to know that she was angry with me.
"I really am sorry. I was stupid to say those things. I hate having you angry with me." I put on my sincerest face whilst saying this to show that I was serious about what I was saying.
She swivelled her head round so fast that it was a blur. "Why do you care what I think of you or what emotion I have at the time. I'm useless remember!" I tried to work out how long this argument would last, with no conclusive results. I was never any good at predicaments when I was a human, and in my five years as a vampire, I still had not mastered the skill. I realised then that I had not come up with a counter argument and I sighed. Each breath at the moment was causing me pain, as I wished I could be comforting her because she was angry with someone else, not having to beg for her forgiveness. I took a deep breath. "I didn't mean that. I was angry with Mallik and I didn't really know what I was saying," I pleaded. "Please, I really am sorry. I got caught up in the moment."
I knew I was saying really cheesy things that everyone else says when they argue with someone but I seriously meant all of it. In my heart and soul I truly wanted her to forgive me. Ever since she left my room, I had been inwardly kicking myself for the way that I had acted. "Save it. Apparently, I shouldn't even care." I wish I knew a way to show her that I was being completely and utterly serious about what I was saying. Nothing I did seemed to be enough. I wanted my best friend back and at the moment it seemed like something impossible. "Plea…" My words were cut short by a shout from below.
"Damion! Anastasia! We have to leave! Now!" For the first time since I had known him, Mallik had a hint of fear in his voice.
Ooo cliff hanger.
Now I just realised that would be a perfect place to leave it but I've already promised you two chapters tonight, so two chapters it shall be.

Chapter 12 Preview:
Nevertheless the strong sense of hope and freedom from whatever we were running from vanished instantly when a growl ripped through the tunnel from behind us.
