Vampires? Yeah Right! : Chapter 12

No Beta.


"And she just stood there?" Harper asked Mitchie for the umpteenth time.

"Yes!" Mitchie groaned out exasperated. She was currently sitting in an office chair watching Harper pace frantically. Harper had suggested they meet there after school so that Mitchie could explain the situation better.

"What-bu-she, what?" Harper stuttered looking at Mitchie expectantly. Mitchie eyed her warily. Was she supposed to respond to that? Mitchie had never seen Harper this hectic before and it was starting to freak her out, granted she was just as freaked when she had called Harper but she had calmed down considerably since then because she though Harper would have answers for her… now she wasn't so sure. Maybe she should start pacing too.

"We need to find out what Miley did to her," Harper said as she finally stopped pacing and turned to look at Mitchie again. Mitchie gave her a duh look. Harper smirked at her and walked out of her office. Mitchie's eyes widened and she ran after her.

"Where're you going?" Mitchie yelled, jogging to catch up to Harper.

"To find Alex, duh," Harper said sending her another smirk. Mitchie stopped.

"Do you even know where Miley's keeping her?" Harper stopped and turned back to look at Mitchie.

"Oh…right," Harper said smiling sheepishly. It was Mitchie's turn to smirk.

"We'll just have to wait and see if she shows up at school tomorrow,"

"What if Miley doesn't let me near her?"

"Good point," Harper said looking thoughtful for a second.

"I'll go with you then," Harper said resolutely, "I look seventeen so I should be able to blend in with the rest of the student body."

"What if Miley recognizes you?"

"Um… I'll create a distraction… to get Alex alone!" Harper said suddenly getting excited.

"Yeah! I'll create a distraction and then we'll be able to talk to Alex alone and hopefully find out what's wrong with her," Harper said smiling, satisfied with her plan. Mitchie thought for a second.

"I guess that's the best plan we have right now," Mitchie said shrugging, then she smiled.

"Meet me by the front doors tomorrow after school, make sure Miley doesn't see you," Mitchie said. Harper nodded smiling.

"I'll see you tomorrow then, bye," Mitchie said as she began to walk out of the office.

"Bye."


The Next Day…

"Ready?" Mitchie asked Harper as they stood outside the school. Harper nodded and they walked in. Mitchie guided Harper though the throng of students until she stopped abruptly causing Harper to bump into her back. She pushed her back around the corner.

"What?" Harper asked annoyed at being shoved.

"Miley's by her locker!" Mitchie whisper yelled at her and peeked back around the corner. She watched as Alex approached Miley and quickly turned back to Harper bumping into her again. Harper gave her an exasperated look.

"Now would be a good time for that distraction you were talking about," Mitchie whispered hurriedly. Harper rolled her eyes then started looking around the hall where students were hurriedly trying to get out of the building.

"We need someone believable," Harper murmured to herself.

"Hey you," she said as a tall, nerdy looking boy was walking past them. He stopped and looked at Harper warily. Then he spotted Mitchie and smiled brightly.

"Hi Mitchie!" he said blushing.

"Hello Michael," Mitchie said smiling politely at him. He blushed harder.

"Listen lover-boy," Harper said trying to get Michaels attention.

"Can you do us a favor?" Michael turned a deep shade of red because of the nickname but nodded anyway.

"Sure, anything for you," he said, looking longingly at Mitchie. Harper rolled her eyes, was everyone in love with this girl?

"We need you to go tell Miley that someone keyed her car," Harper said pointing her finger towards the corner. This got his attention.

"What?" he asked finally looking at Harper.

"Are you deaf?" Harper said looking at him pointedly.

"N-no, I-I-I'm just-" Mitchie decided to save the poor boy.

"Pretty please, Michael?" she said touching his arm lightly. He smiled stupidly at the hand on his shoulders and looked like he was about to faint, he nodded. Mitchie gave him a bright smile and pushed him lightly towards the corner. He stumbled over his feet and fell on the ground. Mitchie was about to help him up but he quickly got up, gave them a sheepish smile and walked around the corner. Harper and Mitchie peeked back around the corner.

"Did someone actually key her car?" Mitchie asked in a whisper.

"Yup," Harper said sounding smug.

"WHAT!" They turned their attention back to Miley who was almost purple with rage. They saw as Michael tried to say something and then just took off running in the opposite direction.

"Stay here!" Miley told Alex and took off running towards the closest exit. Mitchie and Harper sighed in relief when the door closed.

"Come on, we don't have a lot of time," Harper mumbled grabbing Mitchie's arm and dragging her towards Alex. Alex was leaning against the lockers with her eyes closed, much like she had been the day before, only she looked worse.

"Did she look this bad yesterday?" Harper asked as they got closer.

"No," Mitchie said surprised. Alex looked a lot paler then the day before and the circles around her eyes were more pronounced, she looked like she was in pain.

"Alex!" Harper yelled making Alex flinch and open her eyes when they were close enough to her. She looked at them questioningly and then widened her eyes as Harper got into her personal space and grabbed her face. She began tilting and examining her face mumbling to herself.

"What are you doing?" Alex asked but made no move to remove Harper's hands.

"Malnutrition," Harper finally said letting go of Alex's face after a few seconds.

"Wha-"

"She needs blood," Harper said looking at Mitchie expectantly. She had been standing beside her watching Alex longingly.

"I need- what?" Alex said looking even more confused.

"Alex, do you remember us?" Harper said gesturing to herself and Mitchie. A few seconds passed before she answered.

"Uh, no… should I?" Alex asked eyeing them warily, her eyes lingering a bit on Mitchie. Harper sighed heavily.

"Mitchie, give me your hand," Harper said taking Mitchie's hand before she could answer. She quickly looked around and saw that there was only one other student there, but they were conveniently turning the corner.

"Harper, what are you-AH!" Mitchie ended her sentence with a small cry of pain when Harper bit her wrist, drawing a small amount of blood.

"Harper!" Mitchie yelled indignantly.

"Shut up, I'm helping," Harper said testily as she watched Alex carefully. Mitchie turned her attention towards Alex as Harper raised her wrist slowly. Alex looked confused and slightly hypnotized as she watched a small drop of blood fall to the floor. They watched as Alex's eyes turned black and she let out something between a growl and a whine of pain. She pulled her lips back into painful sneer and they watched as her canines grew.

"It's a little painful if you're not prepared for their growth, but you get used to it after a while," Harper mumbled to Mitchie, almost like an afterthought. Alex raised her hand to grab Mitchie's wrist but they were interrupted by a scream.

'Alex! Come on we have to go!" they heard Miley yell from around the corner. Alex pulled back abruptly, slamming herself against the lockers. She looked at them confused for a few seconds. Her eyes turned brown and she suddenly took off running in the direction of Miley's voice.

"Damn," Harper mumbled letting go of Mitchie's wrist. Mitchie quickly grabbed it with her other hand and pulled it towards her chest.

"Harper, what the fuck?" Mitchie yelled at her. Harper rolled her eyes.

"Stop being such a baby," Harper said finally looking at Mitchie. She bit her own wrist drawing blood and shoved it into Mitchie's mouth.

"Mmph!"

"Just drink!"Harper said shoving her wrist more insistently into Mitchie's mouth. Mitchie cautiously took a few gulps, slightly grimacing. Harper took her wrist away after a second.

"There, that should be enough," Harper said and began to walk away. Mitchie gave her head a quick shake and followed Harper, giving her an expectant look. Harper sighed.

"Alex didn't tell you?" she said as she once again grabbed Mitchie's wrist and gave it a small tug.

"Tell me wha-oh," Mitchie said looking at her now healed wrist that was slightly covered in blood.

"Vampire blood has healing properties," Harper said letting go of her wrist.

"Little warning next time," Mitchie mumbled looking a bit awed at her wrist.

"I thought Alex had already told you," Harper said shrugging as they walked out of the school. The parking lot was almost empty.

"Mind telling me why Alex doesn't remember us?" Mitchie asked casually as they walked towards her car.

"I have a theory," Harper said after beat. Mitchie waited for her to continue.

"I think Miley drained Alex completely, causing Alex's brain to shut down for an undetermined amount of time and…she's not giving her enough blood to allow her brain to heal, and you know, you need that to remember things…that's why she can't remember us and why she looks so…sick, she probably doesn't even know she's a vampire…but it's just a theory," Harper said looking at a surprised Mitchie.

"That's a very specific theory, mind telling me how you came up with it?" Mitchie asked after processing the information.

"Alex has bite marks on her shoulder; Miley's made them look like hickey's," Harper said, smirking at the look on Mitchie's face when she said the word hickey.

"That's why you lacerated my wrist?" Mitchie asked.

"It was a small bite, stop hyperbolizing it, but yes that's why," Harper said rolling her eyes again.

"What do we do now?" Mitchie asked when they arrived at her car.

"We wait for Miley to screw up," Harper said smirking and then she took off running before Mitchie could say anything. Mitchie watched as the blur that was Harper disappeared from the parking lot. She sighed. Guess that's that, she though as she unlocked her car.

At least she's not freaking out anymore.


Voila, an update! And it's only been *checks the date* five days since the last one, happy? I know I am!

I didn't get as many reviews as I wanted for the last update but the ones I did get were very enthusiastic so I thought I'd deliver. (Aaaand someone might have mentioned a smoothie of some sort (Goth Albino Angel))

X)

There were a lot of guesses as to what was wrong with Alex, some I hadn't even thought of (i.e. witchcraft, brainwashing, spells, a repeat of the whole Alex wanting to protect Mitchie), but the closestguess was by NickiMinajlover, I won't tell you what she said, but it was pretty close. You'll probably find out what happened in the next chapter… well, I mean how.

Another reason for this update is because I am just so happy! And I thought I'd spread the joy! Wanna know why? I got (practically) front row tickets to see Demi Lovato in concert for next month! !

Now that I'm done freaking out for the billionth time… tell me what you think. Were you expecting this? Any guesses as to what will happen next? Want to tell me what you're thinking so far? Click the little button… you know the one.
