Shayy pushed her back against a wall, just a random wall, feeling the cold on her back as she dragged myself down and feeling the wall drag her shirt up slightly, revealing skin. She wept, softly, afraid that someone might hear.

"Why does everyone hate me? My dads so quick to-" She sat down, cross-legged, and started talking to myself. She was sitting in the arch way and I saw Evra horse trot past and then double take and see me, pathethic and weeping.

"Shayy!"

"Dont look at me." She tried to hide my face. She could feel the hot tears trailing down my cheeks.

"Okay I wont." He didnt say anymore, just slowly slid down beside me. She could feel him stealing glances at me, even though my head was down.

"Dont say 'I told you so'." She snapped, remembering the fact that he had told me that those guys were jerks."

"I wasnt!" he laughed nervously, in reaction at the these sudden thoughts that she could read his mind.

There was a moment where Evra debated wheter he should pat her on the back. He didnt understand why the guys wouldnt want her to be here on vampire Mountain, she was cute. Besides, what was wrong with having her around, it was a change from these dirt collecting boys... Not that he was starting to fall for her, but she was just...a change.

I wonder why darren hasnt be hanging around the main area.

"Uhh Shayy," He started but when he saw her puffy red eyes as she lifted her head, he stopped.

"What?" Her voice croaked.

"I want you to meet a friend of mine." He winced, waiting for her answer.

"No."

"Why not?" He let the wince go which was replaced by a shocked face. why was she being so unreasonable?

"Because I look like crap."

"Hes not going to care what you look like."

"So youre agreeing with me?!" He lay her head back down her knees and sobbed. I held my hands out, there was no winning with this girl!

"Please Shayy, I-I," he searched for a desperate reason for why he would need to leave imediately. "He-he could be in trouble!" This got her attention. Her crying stopped and with a loud inhale, she looked up.

"Wh-what?"

"You heard me. He might be in trouble."

"So why didnt you-" She was cut off by Evra not wanting her to catch his lie and pulled her up by her arm.

"Common!" He coaxed, pulling towards the exit.

Shayy recognized this place, is was where she was when she had first teleported! It was where that mean scum Desmond had tricked her into coming with him. And then treated her like dirt when she had tried to help.

"What are we doing here?"

"Tents."

"I can see that..." She looked around confused. It was still early day, and the sun was just going down a little. She was already feeling sick as she looked up at the sun. Maybe it was just all in her head.

"I really need to get inside."

"Oh thats right!" Evra turned and lowered his voice as the realization hit him. He tugged on her arm even harder.

"Here." He threw open the tent flap. A small 'whoa' escaped her lips. The outside of the tent was an illusion, on the inside it looked like an actual apartment. Slightly decorated and furnished with a love seat and a reclined chair. two doorframed, with closed doors showed that this was two bedrooms. Another doorframed she was to her right was open and showed a basic kitchen. She caught a glimpse of brown hair.

"DARREN?"

"WHAT!?" Came the call from the kitchen. The call was followed by the clattering of numerous pots and pans. Shayys caught in her throat. It was Darren... She held back a giggle as a mumbled "oops" came from the kitchen.

Evra came her a nod and pulled her gently this time towards the kitchen.

"Darren this is," They walked into the kitchen to see Darren scrambling over spread out pots and pans on the floor. He looked up briefly and then back down. He was wearing a black throw-over and grey shorts. The previous night, he had looked a little younger, but today he looked older, as he exhaled as he stood straight up and leaned against the counter. His hair was spiked up instead of down.

"Weve met." He said shortly then turned around and went to the fridge.

Evra rolled his eyes.

"Oh yeah, well if you know here then whats her name?" Darren came back out of the open fridge with a jar of pickles. As he opened them, he struggled to say,

"Maybe, Freii...something like that."

"My name is Shayy," She enforced, not taking this anymore. Her smile had faded and she gave a glare that would have stopped anyone in their tracks. "And you havent been anything but rude to me since ive been here." She talked with her hand to emphazise her point. "You dont even know me-" He cut her off by slamming down the pickle jar on the counter, opening his mouth and running his tongue against his teeth, annoyed. No fangs as well she noted.

"I know your type! Youre just like the rest of them. You come in here, thinking you own the place expecting everyone to be all nice and friendly. Im used to people like you, and frankly, I dont really care what your name is." He added rudely as he went into the cuppoard and juggled a can of soup from hand to hand.

"Darren-" Evra tried to put something in but Darren cut him off once again.

"No Evra. Its true, and you know it. Weve had people like her," He narrowed his eyes and turned his back on her once more. Shayy tilted her head down, holding her opposite arm, as she did when she was nervous and felt her eyes tear up. But she didnt want him to know that he had gotten to her.

She took a deep breath and started in a low, soft chuckle. Then she built it up untill all eyes were on here.

"I get it now," She slowly walked forward, trailing her finger on almost anything she could touch. Her eyes slowly traveled from what she was touching to Darren and she crept closer and closer. She gave one last chuckle. "Ha," She said in his face, "Youre just an insecure little boy. I know that because no man would ever talk to me like that!" She raised her voice and narrowed her eyes.

He kept sucking his teeth and looking to the side like he couldnt look into her eyes for more than a few seconds.

"What are you talking about?" he regained his dignity and looked her in the eyes, acting all like he didnt know. She raised and eyebrow.

"Youre afraid that your friends will think differently of you if youre friends with a girl. AH!" She added as Darren opened his mouth to talk, but closed it tight. "Youre afraid that ill look better than you!" She jabbed a finger into his chest. She was surprised to see that he didnt wince or anything. He just looked down at her, with a stone cold expression. "Well its on...buddy...boy." She let the words roll of her tongue and walked away. "Bye Evra, Ill see you tomorrow." She heard them chatting as she walked away.
