21-Back at the Academy

"Courtney?" The two girls both turned to face to the side. Standing there was a tall boy, pale skin and the most amazing brown hair that had ever been seen. He wasn't wearing the same uniform as the other Trackers should have been wearing. The boy was wearing a blue t-hsirt and a pair of black skinny-jeans.

"Alan?" Courtney replied, studying the boy with percision. "ALAN!" She ran and wrapped her aarms around Alan's neck. He wasn't taken of guard at all, hugging Courtney right back. He swept her off her feet and spun her around in a circle.

"I thought it was you!" Alan almost cried out. It sounded like he had missed Courtney a lot more than a Tracker should have.

"Yeah..." Courtney panted, overly-excited about seeing her old pal again. "It's me." She clutched onto her stomach now, finding it hard to breathe.

Alan smiled down at Courtney and Courtney smiled back at him. Arianna couldn't help but feel a little left out, even if she was too busy gawping at the beautiful man who was in front of her.

"It's been ages since I last saw you." Alan sounded concerned, as if he had feared the worst of it all. Without a doubt he knew that she had been killed by Heather, but he was too polite to say so. "What are you doing here?"

Courtney froze, trying her best to think of an answer, so she went with the first thing that popped into her mind.

"Uh...Business trip?" Alan smiled, knowing that wasn't the case.

"Yeah right." He rolled his eyes, too happy to condrdict Courtney's sayings. He kept smiling though, but his eyes were now travelling from Courtney and over to Arianna. "And who is your hot friend?"

Courtney opened her own mouth in astonishment, playfully hitting her friend on the arm. Alan just laughed it off, as if he didn't feel a thing.

"She's my cousin!"

Alan was silent for a few minutes. He was now the one studying Arianna. He took a good look up and down her black dress. It was clinging to her hips now, the red belt-like sash looking too big for her. The tiara on her head shone underneath the lights of the castle, and Alan's mouth dropped open once again.

"Holy shit..." He mumbled under his breath. "You're Queen Arianna of Scarlatina...You are, aren't you?" He asked, doubling checking.

"That's me." Arianna gave a sly direction in Alan's direction. She stepped forward, her click-clacking of her high heels the only sound in the entire building. She placed a finger on Alan's shoulder, tracing it around his back and over to his other shoulder as she walked around him, getting the full view. "But who are you?"

Arianna looked more than satisfied with this boy, and he looked mesmorized by Arianna. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her now he had seen her.

"Alan Thorn...Head boy at the Tracking academy." Alan's eyes automatically blinked and he was slowly coming back to his senses. He slowly shook his head, his brown hair falling over his eyes. "Now, what are you two doing here?" Now both of the girls gave him a sly smile. "You'll both be dead if caught."

"Doesn't matter...We have you on our side, right Mr. Head boy?" Courtney smiled. She couldn't believe that Alan had gotten the position of headboy at the academy since he left. Heather was head girl, Courtney didn't even have to ask to know that much.

"So, how's life been since you died?" Alan asked, raisng an eyebrow up at his friend. Arianna gave a smile of her own, also turning to face Courtney. The two together was enough to pressure her into anything.

"Everyone knows, mind." Alan continued. Courtney nodded her head. She knew that everyone was going to know. As if Heather was going to keep her biggest kill a secret.

"Does everyone also know that Heather had her life spared by Arianna?" Alan looked shocked at that. That was obviosuly a no then. "Uh-huh." Courtney couldn't have looked more pleased with herself. "Well...Not a lot really."

"She's engaged with a kid." Arianna spoke up. She was now leaning up against one of the many stone colums that ran from the floor up to the ceiling in the hallway they were standing in.

Courtney turned to her cousin, narrowing down her eyes. Alan was in pure shock. It really hadn't been THAT long ago since the two had last seen each other.

"My daughter, Belle, she's about two weeks old...Though you would never guess it." Courtney explained. "And my fiancee is Duncan Hudson...He's a vampire."

Alan looked down at the floor, shaking his head in disappointment. Arianna raised an eyebrow, turning to Courtney to only see that she was smiling. Now the blonde was confused.

"A vampire? Really? Whatever happened to having a decent werewolf?" Courtney gave Alan a shove with her hands. He stumbled back a bit, but the two were laughing. Arianna was lost.

"Hey, I'm no longer a Tracker." Courtney reminded her friend playfully. "I'm allowed to marry anyone I like now."

"What a life you have...Mine revolves around fighting and fighting...and fighting...Did I mention fighting?" The two girls cracked a smile. It may have been training to fight against them, but Alan seemed like a decent guy.

"So the daily routine hasn't changed then?" Courtney joked.

All of a sudden there was a loud bell heard over head. Muffled voices were now heard all around the castle, and all around the three who were in the hallway.

"Courtney, we'd better get going." Arianna was starting to sound worried. It was cklearly the end of the last fighting session and the Trackers were now going to see Arianna and Courtney if they didn't get a move on fast.

Alan wrapped his arms around Courtney one last time. There was a very slim chance that the two were ever going to see each other again, so they made their hug last as long as it could.

"ANGELA'S COMING!" Came a high-pitched scream like squeak. The three turned to see Izzabelle with her head stuck around the door. Her black hair was now down, almost touching the top of her legs. Her face exaplained it all; BAD!

"Take care." Alan called after Arianna and Courtney as they ran in the opposite dirction to both of Courtney's Tracker friends. Thank God that one of them knew which way they were going, including the secret escape hatch Courtney had discovered in her first few months of Tracking Academy.
