Chapter Twelve

Alexander refused to sleep all throughout the night. He did not want to have another dream about him, so he stayed up playing video games and messing around on his laptop. He was bored out of his mind. His clock was his only sanity in the middle of the long night. One o'clock, three o'clock, finally six o'clock! Alexander rushed to the shower and got ready for school, eager to talk to Amie and go out with Ash afterwards.

When he came down stairs, he was immediately angry with himself for leaving his room so early. He walked into the kitchen, but no one was in it, not even Ash, who was always the first one up. Alexander let out a heavy sigh and got out some stuff to make breakfast. Ash came down, only a little bit after Alexander, and stared at him in awe.

"I couldn't sleep," Alexander said before she could say anything. When she attempted to say something else he shot out, "No, I didn't have another nightmare," and her mouth slowly closed.

Ash and Alexander slowly ate their breakfast until Michael came down yawning, "Hey you two, how was your night?" He asked. Ash shot Alexander a look then looked at Michael pleadingly, like he could help somehow. Alexander did not answer, instead he just looked down into his food. Michael and Ash looked at their troubled sibling with worried glares, but Alexander refused to look up.

"Alexander, Michael, come up here!" Ben called from across the house, and Alexander immediately stood up, eager to get away from the glares.

When they got there both of the boys said, "Yes?" in unison to their father, who was looking at some papers in his hands.

"I have been keeping a close eye on the two of you, and I realized something," Ben said while setting down the papers so the boys could see them, and then sprawled them out. The papers had black and white pictures of Amie and Elizabeth with Alexander, Michael, and Ash; two were of Michael and Elizabeth kissing in the halls. Both boys flinched, "Michael, how long have you and Ms. Xanthis been having an affair?" Ben asked addressing Elizabeth by her last name.

"For almost a month," Michael said with a serious face.

Alexander looked over to Ben, already knowing what he was going to say, "Break up with her," Ben said with no emotion or expression, like all the times before.

"Yes, sir," Michael said without even a moment of hesitation.

"And, Alexander, how long have you?" Ben asked and Alexander suddenly felt a little light headed, have I what? Been dating?

"Actually, sir," Michael said before Alexander or Ben could talk further, "Alexander only went on a blind date with Amie once and two group hang outs," he said defending Alexander. "They are nowhere near boyfriend and girlfriend," Michael declared, Alexander was left feeling a little stunned.

"Really?" Ben said, and Alexander could see the wheels turning in his head, this can't be good, "Then how about it?" he finally let out.

"How about what, sir?" Alexander said a little confused by his sentence, It's almost like he is asking me to…

"Go out with the little Ms. Dawn!" Ben let out with a smile like it was a proposal of a spectacular party.

Michael and Alexander looked totally shocked, "Wait… What?" Alexander yelled, "Since when have you ever wanted any of us to go out with any human!"

"Alexander, how old are you?" Ben asked and Michael's eyebrows raised.

"I don't see how this answ-" Alexander started.

"How old!" Ben asked again ignoring Alexander.

"Over two thousand years, but how does this have to do with the conversation?" Alexander yelled agitated.

"Because, throughout your two thousand years of life, you have never so much as looked at a girl, much less had a full conversation with one. Now, you have a perfectly normal girl you are actually hang out and have a good time with. Now, I say go out with her!" Ben said, and all Alexander really got from all of that was 'go out' and 'normal'. She is far from 'normal' Alexander thought, but refused to say.

Alexander let out a heavy sigh and nodded, "Fine, I'll see what I can do," Alexander muttered and left the room.


Amie had to have woken up a thousand times, but found herself too comfortable to move. Every time she would wake up, she felt like she was a little child again. She always stayed up late, waiting for her father to get home from work, and when he did come home they both laid on the couch and fell asleep. Eventually, reality hit her, and the memories of her dad beating her resurfaced ruining the precious memories.

With a sigh Amie got up and immediately saw Adrian fast asleep next to her. She immediately yelped in surprise and fell off the bed with her feet sticking up, What the hell is Adrian doing in my bed! Amie thought.

Amie heard a rustle in the bed, Feet? Adrian's thought echoed into Amie's mind, "Amie?" Adrian asked out loud.

Amie sighed and got to her feet, after awkwardly trying to position her feet out of the air, "Yeah, sorry for waking you, but what are you doing in my bed?" she said a little confused and embarrassed.

Adrian let out a shy smile and looked to the side, "You wouldn't let go of my shirt last night, and I guess I fell asleep with you," he was now itching his cheek, his eyes wandering around the room. Eventually, they stopped on Amie's broken arm and shock went through him, Crap what time is it? Adrian thought and turned around to look at the clock, Amie did the same. It read almost ten in the morning. Amie let out a loud groan realizing she over slept, again. Where is my phone? Amie thought to herself. Adrian, on the other hand, got up and went to Amie's closet, "Here, you need to get ready. You have a doctors appointment today at eleven," he said while throwing some clothes at Amie.

Amie was suddenly shocked, "Okay, but I need to get in the shower, so would you please get out," Amie said while pushing Adrian out of the room. When he was gone, she hurried to the closet again to get her towel and went straight to the bathroom. Amie took a long refreshing shower to relax her muscles, but she got out of it after the water started to get cold. When she was dressed and ready, she left the bathroom and went down stairs to get something to eat.


Alexander and his siblings arrived at school a little later than normal because Alexander took a while to brain storm what to do about Amie. However, he still had nothing, even after everyone forced him to leave, even the on long drive to school he still drew a blank. When they got there, they found Elizabeth sitting at the table alone, although they all knew that Amie should have been there by now.

When they saw her, Michael looked a little sad, "What if something happened to Amie again?" Michael suddenly asked, "I can't break up with her, she'll need me."

Alexander felt pity for his brother, "I'm sure everything is fine, but if you think it helps, you could always break up with her later," Michael nodded and they all walked up to the table where a very worried looking Elizabeth was sitting.

"Hey, Liz!" Ash said and Michael suddenly looked a little angry, but he stayed quiet, "Any word from Amie yet?"

"No, and she would always call if something happened." Elizabeth explained, with worry in her voice. Everyone looked at each other in worry, but the only one that was truly scared was Alexander.

What if the vampire hunters got to her? Alexander thought to himself. After the hunter interrogated him yesterday, Alexander had been worried about her nonstop. Then, a more innocent thought occurred to him, What if the person the hunter killed was a close relative and she just couldn't bare to come to school? Alexander still didn't like the idea of Amie being hurt, physically or mentally, but it was a much better scenario then the latter he had thought before because it meant she was still okay.

"I plan on going to her house after school today," Elizabeth said with a determined look on her face, "Ash, do you want to come?" Alexander's train of thought was interrupted by the sound of his sisters name.

"I would love to," Ash said excited, but Alexander shot her a look. She immediately looked down in disappointment, "But Alexander and I have plans to go to the mall."

Elizabeth nodded in understanding, "It's fine, I'll see you at lunch," she said right as the bell rang for everyone to started to head to their classes.


Zack was a little surprised that Amie did not show up at school today either, Did something happen to her? he thought a little worried, but immediately shooed away the emotion, She is working with a bunch of monsters she disserves no such emotions, but despite his claim he could not help but worry about her.


Amie sat in the waiting area longer than she was comfortable with. All the thoughts flowing through her head, that were not her own, scared her. She tried her hardest to just focus on her own but that only made the thoughts louder. She also tried to focus on the television on the corner of her room, but it did next to nothing. The only thing that came remotely close to helping was focusing on one person's mind, and the rest would just become muffled.

Amie only found one mind she liked listening to, and it belonged to a little five month old baby. All of it's thought were so innocent and made next to no sense which Amie found amusing and adorable. Amie was so wrapped up in the little mind she did not hear the nurse call her name until Adrian lightly elbowed her in the side.

Amie let out a heavy sigh and went through the door, with Adrian following every step of the way. Amie tried to keep half of her mind focused on walking were she was suppose to and half on the baby, but Amie almost walked into a couple walls and decided to just focus on following the nurse.

When they reached the room, Amie sat down and the nurse assured her that the doctor would be there shortly. After she left, Amie tried to listen to the baby's mind again, but it was to far to block out everyone else, so Adrian's, all the nurses, and the doctors thoughts were inside her head again. Amie felt confined and scared again; her only comfort was the fact that Adrian was there.

Amie's head immediately shot up when she heard a man think her name, and she knew that the doctor was on his way. Then, right on queue, a tall brown haired man walked in holding a file.

"Hello Amie, I'm Dr. Grace, how are you today?" The doctor asked, let me guess in a little bit of pain? he thought.

"I'm fine," Amie said a little confused by his thought, I haven't been in pain since Monday night, before I got sick.

"Really, no pain at all?" He asked and Amie could hear that his tone was impressed, when Amie shock her head he thought, She is rather tough, she should be feeling something, "Let's take a look at your arm to see if it's okay," He said, although it should be fine.

Amie nodded and a couple of nurses came in with some supplies to change the bandage. The doctor pulled out some scissors from a little bag, and started to cut at the cast. It went fine until the cast was actually removed; the doctor looked at Amie's arm with frustration, This arm looks fine! he thought.

Hearing this, Amie's heart raced. Did it heal over night! Amie thought and immediately she knew that it was possible.

"May I speak to you in private?" The doctor asked looking at Adrian.

Adrian looked puzzled then looked at Amie, who was on the brink of tears, "Sure," he said, and walked out of the room still looking at Amie worriedly.

Even though the door was shut tight, Amie still heard there conversation through their heads.

"It seams like the Hospital made a mistake, Amie's arm is fine," Amie heard the doctor said.

"Really?" Adrian said, I did not know that fast healing was an ability of the Atlantians'. They sound a lot like vampires, except without the need for blood. Hearing this, Amie felt a little sick. "In that case I'll take her home, thanks for everything," Adrian said and without waiting for the doctor to say anything else, he went back into the room.

"C'mon Amie, lets go home," Adrian said and Amie quickly got up.

"Wait, we should at least get an x-ray to see if it is truly healed," The doctor said, but Amie knew that Adrian had no intention of doing such a thing.

"Actually, we'll just head home," Adrian said and left the room with Amie right behind him. She knew the doctor wanted them to stay and see if she was truly okay, but he reluctantly dropped the subject and Adrian went to the counter to pay them for their service no matter how much it may have been.


Alexander was still thinking about what Ben had said this morning, How the hell am I going to ask her out of I don't even know if she likes me back? Alexander kept thinking of all the ways he could try to figure it out without scaring her away, but he was never much of a romantic, so he was clueless. The only thing he could think of was to ask Elizabeth about Amie or ask Michael for some much needed help; Alexander did not like either of the ideas.

Alexander decided to try to pay attention on class instead, Maybe history will help somehow. Alexander thought, but everything the teacher said he already knew about, or at least lived it. Before he knew it, his eyes began to close on themselves and he instantly fell asleep.

Alexander saw nothing like all the other times, but he hear everything. Why, of all the things, did he have to use vampires to compare me to? He heard Amie's voice echo through his head. Then a second later, he heard car doors opening then closing.

"Amie, are you okay?" Said a voice that Alexander recognized, Couldn't be, he thought, "I know you heard me and the doctor," he stated.

"I-I'm fine, just a little shocked. After all, I should be uses to stuff like this right?" Amie said in a hopeless voice, My life seems to be one big fantasy now that I think of it, her thoughts reached Alexander's heart. He now felt a strong urge to comfort her, however, he was stuck in a dream, and decided it would be smart not to kill his classmates in his attempted in trying to get out.

"Actually, you shouldn't. You were normal until I came along, which was less than a week ago. You really should relax some, when we get home take a nap, no school," the familiar voice said with worry.

Alexander felt that Amie wanted to fight, but she also knew that he had a point, "Okay," she said defeated, and Alexander woke up, not quite sure of what to make of his dream.


Amie did as Adrian said once they got home, but her nap was dreamless. Amie was sure she could have slept the rest of the day away, but something inside of her told her to wake up after only a few hours. Amie let out a yawn and was immediately bombarded with the thoughts of others. She scowled to herself for being so strange, and decided to listen to a few minds that were around her.

One mind that was driving towards the house was strange, it seemed to be covered on a thick fog that Amie could not get through at all. There was another mind, inside the same car, and Amie immediately went stiff. She better be okay, if not heads will roll, the mind thought and Amie knew the voice was Elizabeth's.

At first Amie was a little calm Please just pass the house she silently prayed, but they went unanswered when her thoughts stopped right in front of the house. Amie's brain went into overdrive as she rushed down stairs, not quite sure what to do once she got down there.
