I hated Tuesdays.
Monday's were fine but I just fliming hated Tuesdays and they hated me back.
The next morning I woke up to the sound of the door being banged off it's hinges. One of Virgil's arms was round my waist and I could feel his cool breath on the back on my neck. I groaned in annoyance at the noise that was ruining my good mood and sat up, waking Virgil at the same time. He sat up on his elbows, still half asleep, his hair a neat mess.
"Ugh?" he moaned, running a hand through his hair. I chuckled when I saw the dark circles under his eyes.
"You look like your high Virgil." I said. He looked up at me and glared making me laugh more. Suddenly I was pined to the bed by my hands, Virgil grinning above me. Just as he leaned close to me someone banged on the door again. Stopping halfway, Virgil turned his head to glare at the bedroom door.
"It would be now." He said, turning back to me and kissing me. I chuckled and pushed him back, putting on a black t-shirt over my vest. I quickly put my hair up before I went to answer the door.
Why I hate Tuesday's reason number 1.
Luck is never on my side.
It was a man and a lady, side by side watching me as stared at them slightly confused.
Okay, really confused.
"Sorry to disturb you Miss. Nial is it?" the male asked. I nodded slowly.
"I'm DCI Elijah Kane and this is DI Fiona Wards. We're here to talk to you about Miss Summers and Miss Soto. May we come in?" he asked as they both showed me their badges.
I hated it when they say that, I can't exactly say no can I?
"Of course Detectives. Come in." I said, leading them into the open plan living room/kitchen.
"You live here with your boyfriend. Virgil Wood?" he asked.
"Yes. My boyfriend is still in the bedroom I'll just go and get him." I said, walking to the bedroom and closing the door behind me.
Virgil was sitting on the edge of the bed with his armed crossed and looked up when I entered the room.
"You know?" I asked. He nodded.
"Let's get this over with then." He sighed, standing.
When I entered the living room/kitchen DI Ward was looking at one of the pictures of Virgil and me in Bellisle. That was the weekend after we arrive here. He said that we needed to make the fake going out thing believable. Now look at us.
"That was the week after we arrived." I told her. She looked up at me and smiled.
"Sorry for snooping. You look like such a happy couple." She said. I smiled back.
"We are." I replied. Virgil came in just after that and kissed me on cheek, taking my waist in his.
"Hello Detectives. I'm Virgil Wood. Sorry for the delay. " He said, charmingly, smiling at both of the detectives.
After introductions we all sat down on the black leather sofas, Virgil and I on the loveseat and the two detectives on the three-seated sofa beside us making an L shape.
"Don't worry this is just a routine inspection. Were interviewing everyone in the school." DCI Kane told us. I didn't believe him though. There were over one thousand pupils at that school and to interview every single one would take ages.
The questions were usual. To know what I'm taking about watch shows like CSI or Cold Case. Then you'll get it.
We did have to lie though.
About last night.
I didn't think saying that I was at a Vampire Wannabe meeting would be good for my case.
Now why I hate Tuesday's number 2)
It was half way through Virgil answering where we were last night that I noticed that DI Ward was staring at me frowning.
"Is there something wrong DI Ward?" I asked. She continued to frown at me, not fazed by me revealing what she was doing.
"Do I know you Miss Nial?" she asked. I shook my head, hiding my panic. Did she know? Had the police been given my missing persons report. Virgil told me that he set it up to look like I was dead. Were my parents so angry about the fact that I was gone they didn't believe that I was dead? There was only reason they would do some thing like that and it was because of my will.
"I probably just have a memorable face." I answered, making her frown even more but leave me alone.
"Thank you for you time Mr Wood. Miss Nial." DCI Kane said as both the detectives left. Virgil nodded in return and as the Detectives left closed the door.
The second the door shut Charming Virgil turned into Angry Virgil.
"Aw man, your angry." I stated backing up slightly.
"She recognized you! How could she recognise you!" he shouted, running a hand through his hair. I shrugged.
"I was arrested after your little episode as a murder suspect. My file is probably in their database and she may be very nosey. Now calm down." I said, walking up to him and hugging him.
"As you said I have a different last name and my parents have a extremely short attention span with all the alcohol they drink. It'll be all right." I knew that what I was saying wasn't the best argument but it was all we had. He sighed and I could practically feel the anger rush out of him as he wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head.
"I'm sorry I lost my temper. I'm sorry." He said, kissing my head with each sentence.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was now 2pm.
"What time is the 'Motley Crew' arriving?" I asked looking up slightly to his eyes.
"They said about half 2 so we have half an hour before they arrive and then you can explain everything." He told me. I sighed.
"Super."

"How much sugar did you have before you left Kayla?" I asked, watching as she jumped around in her seat like a hyper pixie. She stopped jumping and glared at me as Zac and Noa entered with Caleb, Zac carrying a laptop bag and Noa carrying a large light grey case as Caleb walked behind them.
"She scoffed down an entire packet of jelly babies on the way here." Noa told us laughing making Kayla growl-or attempt to growl- at him.
"I gave you some!" she exclaimed. Zac rolled his eyes.
"You gave us two." He replied.
"Between us!" Noa continued. I laughed along with Skylar and Caleb as Kayla glared at her brothers. Even though Kayla was the 'oldest' out of the three she tended to be at the end of the jokes her brothers made. Not that it was unusual they are younger brothers after all.
Virgil came in a couple seconds later and frowned when he saw us laughing at the triplet's expense.
"I don't want to know." He said, holding up his hands as if in surrender.
"What's with the laptop anyway Z?" Caleb asked sitting down beside Kayla. Zac smiled as he took the thin Mac Book out of his bag and laying it on the table and switched it on.
"You'll see." He told him turning to me.
"Ryvre? Where's the spider broach Kayla gave you to wear last knight?" he asked.
"In my room. I'll go get it." I said, getting the broach from Virgil's – I mean our room, still had to get used to that. It was still attached to the black and white striped dress I had worn last night. I would have taken it off but I was too tired to bother. When I arrived back in the room Noa was unclipping the locks to the grey case and it popped open.
"SD Card." Zac said to Noa holding out his hand as Noa put a small blue card into his hand. Skylar leaned over to me.
"Do you know what there doing?" she asked. I lend towards her with out taking my eyes off the two of the busy triplets.
"Not a clue." I told her. Virgil chuckled from behind me as he leaned down to wrapping arms around me and kiss my neck.
"Just listen." He told me. Zac looked up to me.
"Can I get the broach please?" he asked. When I gave to him he held it up to the light then when satisfied that it was okay took off the head, revealing a smaller version of the SD card. Noa explained as his brother unattached the smaller SD card and then attached it to the larger one.
"The spider broach you wear wearing Ryvre is actually a camera and microphone." Noa started
"We gave it to you so we could hear and see everything you did. We thought it would be easier than getting you to explain it." Zac continued.
"We would have told you Ryvre," Noa continued again
"But this way you wouldn't have to worry about them catching you out." Kayla finished.
"Everything was saved to this card so all we need to do now is watch it and see what's going on." Zac explained.
The recording started as I was walking down the hall, Mr MacEnroy behind me and finished half way through my car drive home.
Virgil laughed a couple of times through it as I expected with the dumb 'facts' Mr MacEnroy gave, but what I didn't expect was the growling that came from his chest when the Vampire Wannabe – I later remembered was called Harold- started flirting with me.
I turned to him, confused then smiled when I realised the reason for the growl.
"Are you jealous Virgil?" I asked, smiling. I felt the vibrations on his chest as he growled again, with more anger than before.
"Not jealous. Pissed yes. Jealous no. Your idea of killing all of them is starting to grow on me." He growled more.
"Not all of them, just Mr MacEnroy. And maybe Vlad back there." I suggested, kissing his hand, trying to calm him down. I could feel the tension in the room as Virgil mentioned the killing idea. I knew that they where angry with Mr MacEnroy, heck, I was pissed also but killing him- for me-was a bit too far. Killing and death wasn't my strong point.
Skylar frowned at us.
"Would you kill him? If it got too bad?" she asked. Virgil smiled at her.
"Maybe, but I bet…" I cut him off.
"Don't say that again. The only way that would be funny was if we were part of your little community." I said rolling my eyes.
"Trust me, you don't what to be thinking about that right now." He said, looking to the side slightly.
"Yeah, yeah. Because 'being a Vampire is so dreadful', I know, I know. I've heard it a million times on TV." I told him. He frowned.
"Actually I said you shouldn't think about it now because of the whole Vampire Murder thing." He turned his head to me, grinning. "Personally I find being a Vampire fun." He said, leaving me glaring at him.
"Asshole." I said. He grinned.
"I know." He smiled, leaning into my ear. "But I'm your asshole." He whispered, kissing my neck. He pulled away when we heard someone clear their throat, making Virgil pull away and glare at Noa, who must have been the culprit.
"Can the two love birds stop with the cheesy lovey dovey stuff before I puke? Thank you." Noa said, smiling at both of us. Zac rolled his eyes at his brother as he looked through the grey case again, taking out a bunch of pictures and hading them to Virgil.
"Look who we found going to the Vampire Lord's Lair this morning." Noa smiled, as Virgil looked through the bunch of photos Zac handed to him.
They showed a boy, carrying a bag back, entering Mr MacEnroy's house early in the morning. I gasped.
"I know him! He sits beside me in R.M.P.S. Jake I think his name is." I said, taking the pictures off Virgil.
"What's he doing there?" Virgil asked. Noa shrugged.
"Maybe Mr MacEnroy is really a Paedo and is just setting up the vampire thing to cover it up." Caleb suggested, eating a bag of crisps. Kayla turned to his frowning.
"Where did you get those crisps?" she asked.
"Pocket." He told her holding out the packet to her, as Kayla reached over to nick a handful. Virgil was silent though the rest of the conversation, his familiar – but rarely used- thinking face frozen in place.
"Pull a different face Virgil please. That's one's kinda freaking me out." Kayla said, leaning backward.
"Yeah, pull you second face. You know, the back up one you have." Caleb smiled, trying not to laugh. Everyone laughed while Kayla glared daggers at Caleb making his laughter die down.
"I should run now. Shouldn't I." Caleb said to Zac. Zac chuckled.
"I would recommend it." he told him looking up from his laptop. That was all the encouraging he needed to jump up and run out the front door, Kayla following dangerously behind.
"I'm gonna kill you, you little twerp!" she shouted to Caleb as he ran off laughing. Zac assured us that they would be back within the next half hour, this happened often between those two.
"So, you think Jake has something to do with it?" Virgil asked Zac and Noa. They nodded in perfect synchronisation.
"Maybe," Zac said.
"Or he's just Mr MacEnroy's lackey and knows nothing about it. However, he's been going to Mr MacEnroy's house pretty much every day since we've been tailing him." Noa told us.
"Couldn't he just be going for tutoring?" Skylar asked, reaching over for the packet of dropped crisps. Zac sighed, and pushed his glasses back up his face.
"I thought about that but with everything that's been going on at the moment, anything is probable. Anyway his movements have been very suspicious recently. Noa and I are going to set up some cameras in his house tonight and will tail him for another couple of days and see if he leads us any were important."
"That's all we can really do at
the moment." Noa said. I frowned.
"I'm not sure if this is a
good thing or not but you two are really good at this." I
told them both. They smiled.
"We know."
Caleb and Kayla arrived back, just then, Kayla grinning like a maniac and blushing ever so slightly. Before I could say anything about it she dragged Skylar and me into my old bedroom. The room was still a mess with random pieces of my clothing scattered over the floor from when Kayla and Skylar were getting me ready for last night. I took a note to clean it one day.
"Kayla what's going on?" I asked, confused at her hyper ness and blushing… wait…ahh. "He didn't." I said, frowning but grinning as well. She nodded, a smile so wide it looked like she was about to squeal. Skylar got it.
"No!" she denied with a grin in her face showing her happiness.
"Uh, uh." Kayla confirmed in a squeal-ish voice making Skylar squeal and run over to her life long friend, hugging her to death and telling her to do a complete run down on how Caleb asked her.
"It was just before I tackled him to the ground he turned to face me and held up his hands as if in surrender then just as I went to tackle him he caught my hands and asked me if I would go to see 'The Batman: The Dark Knight' with him." She sighed dreamily. Skylar and I chuckled.
"So you're going then." I said. She nodded then smiled at me.
"And so are you and Virgil."
v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v
I grumbled as I sat in the passengers seat in Virgil's car, Virgil driving. We were on our way to the Cinema to meet Kayla and Caleb. Turned out that Kayla was worried about going on her first date so decided to volunteer us to go on a double date with her and Caleb. I was doing this while Zac and Noa were sneaking into Jake's house to set up hidden cameras, actually doing something useful while I bunked off. Virgil chuckled.
"I know you feel useless but Kayla and Caleb are our friends. Anyway you've been working on this for a long time. Just relax for one night love." He told me, taking my hand and bringing it to his lips. I sighed and relaxed into the leather seats, closing my eyes.
"Yeah, yeah. I know." I said. The viewing was at 7:45 so we had to get there at about half past 7 so we could get drinks and popcorn etcetera.
Kayla and Caleb we waiting at the front entrance of the cinema holding hands, talking between themselves as we walked over to them.
"Hey Kayla. Hey Caleb." I smiled, hugging Kayla as Virgil and Caleb shook hands and began their 'manly talk'. Please note the sarcasm.
"So? How's it going so far?" I asked quietly, pulling her out of ear shot, well least Caleb's earshot. I was sure Virgil could hear every thing I was saying to her.
"So far so good. Though Zac and Noa gave me a hard time when I left for here. By the way they said they'd call you when there finished so you could tell Virgil, so keep your phone on silent." She told me.
"Why not just phone Virgil?" I asked. She shrugged.
"They couldn't remember his number." She stated. Good enough reason.
The cinema wasn't as busy as I thought it was going to be, the majority of the group couples or just there with friends.
"What you doing?" Virgil asked from behind me while I set my phone to silent. I jumped slightly and turned to see him holding a tub of popcorn and two cola's.
"Zac and Noa want me to keep my phone on silent so we'll know if anything happens." I told him. He nodded slowly, thinking a bit. I rolled my eyes and took the popcorn from his hands, stuffing some of it in my mouth.
Luckily we ended up getting a seat away from other people, not a usually easy task.
The movie was good. Well at least the part I saw which was only about an hour.
It was at this point I began to feel sick. The room began to spin and my head felt heavy. The more my eyes stayed open the worse it got until the lights coming from the screen were unbearable and I left, saying I needed to go to the toilet.
Fresher air hit me as I opened the cinema screen doors, a welcomed relief from the stuffiness from in the screening room yet the bright light made the back of my eyes burn. I moaned in despair as I slid down the wall, my head on my knees.
"Ryvre? Are you okay." A familiar voice called. Looking up I saw Jake kneeling down in front of me, frowning. I nodded in pain, all the earlier comments about him gone from my mind. Don't blame me though; I you try remembering everything you heard while there's a burning pain in the back of your eyes and the room kept spinning.
"Perfectly." I groaned, trying to stand but ending up falling into Jake's arms. It was then I noticed he was wearing a uniform for the cinema.
"I didn't know you worked here." I said, sitting back on the ground. He smiled.
"Just started a week ago." He told me. I nodded and, standing, I looked at my watch, showing I'd been out here for about 15 minutes.
Man, I really wanted to see that movie as well.
Then my phone bussed.
"Sorry." I said, taking out my mobile and answering the call.
"Yeahllo." I moaned into the phone, holding my head up with a hand against the wall.
"Ryvre! Were the hell have you been I've been trying to get a hold of you for the past half hour! And what's wrong, you sound terrible." Noa said into the phone only to have it taken off him by Zac.
"Sorry about that Ryvre."
"It's okay. Tell Noa I just feel a bit funny." I replied, my voice raspy.
"Man you do sound bad. Anyway where are you?" he asked.
"Just out side the screening room." I told him, making Zac sigh in relief.
"Good. Look, we know who the killer is. We found an entire freezer of blood..." he was cut off as Jake asked who it was on the phone.
"Ryvre. Whose that?" Zac asked after hearing Jake calling. I frowned.
"It's Jake. Turns out he works here." I said turning to face Jake who was smiling at me.
"What! Your there with Jake! Ryvre! Run now! Jake's the killer! And you're his next victim!" he called into the phone. I froze but and turned quickly to run to the door but the force of the turn was too much for my aching head to stand.
I blacked out.
Damn it!

A/N: Whooooooot! Another chapter down!
Just so you know there will be about three or four more chapters left before it's finished. I have two different ideas for the ending. Either Sad or Happy I'm sure so I'm going to set up a poll on my page to see what you wanna see. Then it will be used for the final but I'll post the one that didn't win up at the end.
Note that both could have a sequel but they would work completely differently from each other.
Anywho, what do you think of this chappie? The last one was a bit more information giving than anything else so sorry if you weren't very happy with it.
Sorry for the rant last time. Completely irrelevant but you were warned.
Anyway, hope you liked it and
R E V I E W!
P.S. The deadline for the 'competition' is after the next chapter, just so you can get in it.
Yes I know you probably don't care but, meh.
Later and thank you!!
