At long last, Michaels request at my school was accepted- he was officially a student now.

There was a knock on the door on his first morning- probably Lucy. I opened it and felt a shock reverberate through me; it was Elazar… in school uniform.

'Err-?' I could only say, but he just shoved past me. 'Ha! Look at you!' I heard Elazar laugh, and Michaels groan. 'What the hell are you doing?' I walked back into the living room. Elazar was standing in front of Michael, who now had is uniform of black shoes, trousers, white shirt, green tie and black jumper, topped of with a green blazer on. I giggled- he looked so odd in uniform, but then I looked at Elazar; he looked even more odd (at least he had the sense to leave his top button undone.) 'Right; have I got it right?' I laughed and tugged at his tie, loosening it and undoing his top two buttons. 'Now your fine.' He smiled. 'Cheers.' Elazar rolled his eyes and sighed in exasperation. 'Would you like me to leave the room, love-birds?' he laughed. Me and Michael looked at each other. 'No!' he frowned, and I growled. 'No way!' he laughed again and shrugged. 'Whatever.'

Twenty minuets later

I stood between Michael and Elazar, staring at the school.

'You ready?' I asked them quietly. Michael just nodded once, but Elazar just laughed. 'Ready and waiting!' Michael just groaned.

'Lighten up Mickey.' Elazar laughed, turning to face his brother and inhaling deeply through his nose. 'Can't you smell it?' his mouth widened into that devilish grin of his. 'Ripe for the taking.' he hissed, and his shadowy blue eyes went even darker.

To my right, I heard Michael let out a low growl. 'Don't you dare.' Elazar laughed. 'I already like this place' he then smirked, and walked off towards the school on his own.

Turning to Michael, I asked. 'Will he really behave?' he sighed, and ran his hand through his newly styled honey blonde hair with a slight wince. 'I don't know.' He said sincerely, and his silver-blue eyes looked as worried as I felt.

And I took that as a confirmation to my biggest fear.

Great (!) now I had to worry about my murdering "ally" attacking my friends.

What a jolly good time I was going to have...

To my surprise, he behaved well all day. Only my friends were the ones misbehaving; trying to chat Michael up… among other things

The next day at school, it all felt different. They were all scared of me for some reason, catching my eye then looking away as quickly as possible; what word about me had been floating around now?

I plonked myself down between Michael and Lucy, when Jodie walked up and sat in the vacant seat opposite us- she was smirking.

'Did mommy plait your hair this morning?' she laughed, pointing at Lucy's braids.

Lucy looked hurt. I was just about to yell at her, but before I could say anything, a voice behind us said in annoyance.

'Oi! Slut! You're in my seat; MOVE NOW!'

Jodie jumped in alarm at the sound of Elazars voice. She saw him and took in his dark, foreboding eyes and predators glare, and recoiled a little.

'Sorry' she said in a low voice to him, and got up in silence and walked away- her Minions following just as silent. I turned to Lucy to see her looking wide-eyed at Elazar. 'Bloody hell...' she breathed, as he sat down and stated to lounge in his seat.

'Thanks.' Lucy said timidly to him. Elazar turned his piecing gaze upon her and nodded slightly, then turned to his brother and said. 'Mickey, im getting pissed off with this place already.' Michael huffed in anger. 'Oh get a grip! Go and do something then.'

Elazar growled. 'Exactly.' I sensed where this conversation was heading and shot him a warning glance- so did Michael. Elazar just grunted in annoyance, got up and stalked away like a hunting panther.

'He's scary!' Lucy squeaked when he had left the room. I laughed. And don't I know it. I thought to myself. 'He can be at times.' I admitted, and now Michael let out a low laugh. 'Yeah.' He admitted.

'What was his name?' Lucy asked Michael quietly. 'Elazar.' He answered grudgingly, and Lucy raised an eyebrow. 'Weird name' she laughed. Then I laughed. 'Don't say that to his face if you want to live.' Her laugh died down instantly. 'I'll remember that.'

As school ended, Michael had to go to the principles office about his timetable- which left me walking home alone.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me- I spun around

It was Jodie, she stalked towards me. She stopped dead in front. 'You better stay out the way from now on.' She hissed.

I frowned, turning around. 'I don't have a clue what you're on about.' She growled. 'Listen to me bitch- Elazar and Michael are mine, and no jumped-up bitch is going to get in my way.'

My frown deepened, Jodie smirked and pushed me hard against the wall- I felt the pain blossom spectacularly at the back of my head.

'You really shouldn't have done that…' A low voice behind Jodie suddenly said.

I saw her turn, her eyes wide in surprise. '

Why hello Elazar' she purred. Then I heard her cry out in fear; I looked past her at Elazar- his face was contorted in anger, his fangs were bared at Jodie.

'No one… can own me…' then he had Jodie pinned to the ground by her throat. 'No one ever will… And how dare you attack Zara!' he snarled, and Jodie screamed as he bit her. 'Elazar!' I yelled, running over to him and pulling him of her, ignoring my own pain. He stood up and glared at Jodie. 'You better watch out "Babe" because I'll be back soon...' he growled at her, licking his lips and showing her his bloodstained fangs.

'Very soon.'

Jodie leapt to her feet and backed away, fear all too prominent in her eyes. 'Stay away from me… you… you freak!' she ran off into the night. Elazar turned to me. 'You're bleeding.' He said quietly, staring at my forehead. I raised a hand and felt the abrasion. 'Oww.' I admitted, touching it gingerly. Elazar was still staring at me, a hungry look in his eyes. 'Elazar…' I said warningly, and after a few seconds, blinked and looked normally back at me, albeit, a little confused. 'You need to leave.' He said purposefully to me, turning away. 'Hey!' I called after him, he didn't turn. 'Thank you…' I finished in a whisper.

He ignored me as usual.
