Hello my dearies! Sorry this took so long to write but I have been swamped with schoolwork and such, so it has been hard for me to find the time to write. I hope all of you enjoy the story and leave me plenty of reviews. I am also still hoping someone who has read Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer will volunteer to be my Beta for my story The Final Night. I want to thank you all for reading my previous chapters and I have decided on a length for this story. I want it to be about thirty chapters. Do you all agree? Or should it be more? I want to thank my beta, yadda, yadda, yadda, and let the story begin!
Xoxo,

"No, really, what are we hunting?" I said, watching Samantha for her response.
"All in time" she said and then paused, "All in time." She said again, not giving away a thing, but her face was joyous with knowledge.
"Matt, she's been missing for days now. We have to go looking for her!" Luke said, distress and worry showing on his handsome face, and pulsating through his veins.
"Lue, don't worry. Dumbledore's probably got her in Mudungo's. She had some kind of breakdown or something. He said not to worry, remember?" Matt said, an exasperated look on his face.
Dumbledore had made an announcement to the whole school at breakfast a few days ago about Emily having some sort of problem. He said that they shouldn't worry and that she would be back in school soon, but due to certain circumstances her classes would be changed. He hadn't specified what those circumstances were, and Luke had begun to imagine the worst because of it.
Luke had been like this, worrying and distressing over Emily, ever since Dumbledore made the announcement. Matt was almost fed up with it.
"But Matt—"
"Luke! Chill out! Go talk to Dumbledore! Ask him! I'm sick of you being so worried and not doing anything about it! Just go talk to him and ask where she is! I'm sure she's fine!" Matt said, finally letting go of his frustrations.
"I have been doing something about it." Luke mumbled, sounding miserable.
Matt sighed, "Look man, she's been gone for a few days and you're freaking out. Don't worry about it, wherever she is she's probably fine." Matt said, and then added, "She might be in Mudungo's, like I said. She's probably resting too, not freaking out like you are." Matt paused, "It's gonna be okay. She'll be back to school tomorrow maybe." Matt said, now resenting yelling at Luke, seeing as he was miserable without even getting to talk to Emily.
All Luke had been thinking about lately, not that it was anything new, was Emily. He was asking everyone if they'd seen her, or if she'd talked to them recently, and to tell him if they'd talked to her. Matt felt sorry for the guy because all he talked about or thought about was Emily.
"Hey," Matt said as he looked up and saw Luke walking towards Dumbledore's office. Luke looked up at him and Matt said, "I'll help you look around some more if Dumbledore doesn't know where she is, okay?"
"Yeah, alright." Luke said, dejectedly.
"Are you kidding me?!" I said, astonished.
Only a few moments ago Samantha had revealed to me what our meal would consist of.
"Yeah, it's good. The first time it kind of tastes weird, but after that you acquire a taste for it." Samantha said, practically drooling.
I opened my mouth and began to tell her what I thought of it, "Eww, that doesn't even sound good! Who drinks—"
"Shhh!" she said, "we're approaching them. They startle easily, so stay quiet." She said, with a ravenous look in her eyes.
Eww, Unicorn blood? I thought aloud, hoping Walt would hear me and answer back.
It took a few moments; Walt was composing his answer, before his response came. Yes, Unicorn blood. It will take time before you become acquainted with its magical powers and uses.
Why though? I asked him.
He sighed both inside and outside of his mind. Because it sustains our thirst for weeks at a time.
How? I asked, thoroughly confused.
Do you remember, a few years back, a boy named Harry Potter diminished Lord Voldemort from Hogwarts? Walt asked.
Yeah, I heard about that, but what does that have to do with anything? I asked, perplexed.
The only way Lord Voldemort was able to live was by drinking Unicorn Blood. Walt said.
Oh. I said, trying to see where this was leading to.
But what does that have to do with us? He was human…sort of. I said, hoping Walt would explain more.
When he drank from the Unicorn it gave him the ability to live off of the host, like a parasite. We, on the other hand, can live normally because we are not parasites, and because we are, he paused briefly, dead and the Unicorn blood sustains us for about three weeks at a time. He paused again, this time agitated. Any other questions? He said.
Yes, actually, two more, but they won't take any of you precious time to answer. I said, ruffled.
Alright then, ask away. He said indifferently.
One, when we……drink……from the Unicorn, we don't kill it do we? I asked, wanting to know the answer but scared to know the truth.
No. It is a crime to kill one so gentle. He said, and then added, And your next question?
"Walt!" Evan whispered loudly from the front of the pack, "Walt, we need you up here! We think this one's dead!"
Whispers broke out throughout the pack of Vampires and Walt walked up beside me on his way up to the front and said, "Your question will have to wait until later, I have to see what's wrong with one of our herd."
As Walt walked in front of me I stopped dead in my tracks, someone was here that wasn't supposed to be here, I could sense it. It was too late however, for someone slipped a sack over my head and tied it.
Oh, so now my Vampire senses kick in.
"But, sir, if she's here why is she not in the Hospital wing?" Luke asked Dumbledore from the chair sitting across the desk from Dumbledore.
"My boy, have you ever heard of a thing called the 'Vampire prophecy'?" Dumbledore asked.
"Well, no but what does that have to do with Emily not being in the Hospital wing." Luke asked, wondering if the old man was going senile.
"Do you remember the terms of our agreement upon your entering the school?" Dumbledore asked Luke.
"Yes, and I have abided by them thoroughly" Luke said, still trying to figure out what the Dumbledore was talking about.
"Those terms now abide to her as well, but different from yours." he said.
"What do you mean?" Luke said, his worry escalating now.
Dumbledore opened his mouth and began to speak, "She is a Vampire, my boy, and you are a Werewolf. I do not see how you will get along, seeing as your races hate each other."
Dun Dun Dunnnnn! So how was it? You like? You don't like? Tell me with an oh so lovely and always appreciated REVIEW!
