I am SO sorry everyone... but I had to update this chapter... I'll probably get yelled at later (by a lot of people), but to hell with it. I had to write this to thank Jazzystars1414, Cure Celestial, Legamma, CPenney1000, RosarioBlack, and Rachel Rebben. You guys favored my story despite the fact that I said it was discontinued and I really appreciated it :D

I would also like to thank alistarsmusic, lilliana-aka-josafinna, xXallegedangelXx, and Daryadayle99, you all are awesome for you reviews and you have probably helped me the most with the last few chapters.

Thanks to all of you I had gotten a slight inspiration to give you all this chapter. Unfortunately this may still be my last updated chapter, but we'll see. After all I am still faced with the small fact that I want to make this story an actual book, wish me luck :D

To those who totally forgot what happened in the last couple chapters (because it's just been that long) here is a brief summery of what's important to know for this chapter:

Alexander and Amie had gone on a date. While on it Zack caught saw them and almost killed Alexander. Alexander then discovers that Amie knows about vampires, is now living with one, and has been his main source of nutrition.

Alexander also had a dream where a man almost killed Amie. After he woke up he barged into his Michael's room and borrowed his phone to call Liz's phone to make sure that Amie was okay. She was fine, but Alexander has been awake ever since, fearing another nightmare.

After wards Zack talks to his Master about Amie and calls her a 'Shadow' which is a human that works for Vampires. He then tells his master about some of Amie's powers, and then the hunters decide to do some research into her.

Amie on the other hand had a weird and ominous dream a night after that about Alexander's past. It first showed how he, Ben, and Michael, became a family. After that Ash appeared and Alexander and her went out to get something to eat. When they were done they met a girl named Kristal, who said that Alexander was her soul mate. Then a man named Iosif came and said some very weird and threatening things to Alexander, and then Amie woke up.

Please enjoy the chapter and tell me what you think

Chapter 25

Alexander walked around his room all night long trying his hardest to not fall asleep and have the horrifying nightmare again. So to keep his mind preoccupied he thought of his past, and tried to not think too much of Iosif, but eventually he came up, along with Kristal. Every time he thought of them he could not help but shiver, although he did not mind Kristal all that much, as long as her 'father' was not far behind.

Suddenly his alarm shocked him out of his distant thoughts and he started to get ready for school. He took his time so he would not be too early and worry Ash, yet again. When he was done he walked down the stairs to eat breakfast, and was greeted by a wide smile plastered on, none other than Michael's face.

Alexander looked at his brother with confusion. "What are you up to?" He started to ask, "Please don't tell me you set me up for another date with Amie?" Alexander said as he rolled his eyes, not that he really mined the dates all that much anymore.

"No, but now that you mentioned it, that doesn't seem like a bad idea." Michael said his thinking cap now on and a cocky smile trying to over shadow his previous one.

Alexander rolled his eyes at his brother's actions, "Then what's the stupid smile for?"

"Here," Michael said handing Alexander a sticky note, "You can thank Elizabeth when we get to school."

"What is…?" Alexander started but when he saw Amie's name at the top he stopped. Under the name was a ten digit number and Alexander's voice was stuck in his throat.

"That, by dear little brother is Amie Dawn's cell phone number." Michael said like it was obvious, which it kind of was now that Alexander thought about it. "It was Elizabeth's idea, she texted me the number this morning and told me to give it to you." Alexander's only reply was him staring blankly at the sticky note. "Stop gawking at it and eat your breakfast so we can go!" Michael yelled taking a bite out of his bagel.

Amie looked at her clothes trying to decide on what to wear. Since her scars were officially gone she could wear anything she wanted. However the thought made her hesitant to choose. Eventually she picked a random shirt and pulled it on. When she looked down she smiled that it was not something totally ridicules. It was a red Gary Burns Fun Run shirt she got a few years when she ran in said event.

When Amie was total done getting ready she then rushed out of her room and her forehead was instantly attacked by a blue, and sticky, piece of paper. Amie pulled it off of her face to find Liz in front of her with a triumphant smile on her face.

"Was it your goal to get a single piece of paper on my head?" Amie asked looking at the paper. She was confused to only find random numbers on it.

"Why of course it was, and to also give you that certain paper to you." Liz stated her smile growing wider. "You should be kissing my feet in gratitude." She finished, forcing her smile to grow smaller and then looking at her perfect nails like there might be dirt in them. "Right there is your beloved, Alexander's phone number."

Amie looked at the paper again in shock, 'I have Alexander's number?' Amie thought to herself, then after what must have been a thousand 'Thank yous,' from Amie, to Liz, they left for school. On the whole ride Amie contemplated texting Alexander to make sure he had her number as well, but could not bring herself to do it, so she decided to talk to him about it when she got to school.

"How did Tiger react when you told him he couldn't come to school?" Liz asked her eyes barely leaving the road when she talked.

"Surprisingly, he took it pretty well. He just said okay then went to sleep." Amie stated then looked at her purse like Tiger would be hiding in it, which would not surprise her at this point.

"I don't blame him, all that walking you did this weekend would wear anyone down," Liz said with a smile. "I wonder if all familiars are as clingy as he is."

"I don't know, as far as I can remember my mother never had a pet."

"Do you think familiars are only around until Atlanteans are old enough to take care of themselves?" Liz asked.

"I guess so." Amie responded, but she hoped their guesses were wrong; she did not want Tiger to leave. She honestly was just as attached to him as he was to her.

When Amie got to school she was a little disappointed that Alexander and his siblings were not there yet. Not that she was surprised.

Amie let out a small sigh and looked around the cafeteria trying to see if Alexander would pop up at any minute. While she was looking she noticed something, Zack was nowhere to be found. Amie found it strange; Zack always seemed to pop up wherever Amie went for the past week, no matter what.

"I wonder where the hunter is." Liz examined with a grimace, like she was reading Amie's mind.

She shrugged then tried to see if she had a better chance of hearing his thoughts, with no luck. "I don't know I can't find a trace of him." Amie examined.

"No trace of whom?" Amie heard Alexander's voice ask. However, Amie had no reaction to it there were no startled jumps, no surprised yelps, and not a single flinch. It confused and surprised her. Usually if anyone sneaked up on her in any way she would be hyperventilating right now from shock. However, her body stayed perfectly calm, except for her heart; that doubled its pace simply because it was Alexander that spoke.

"Zack," Amie responded, feeling her face turn red, "I thought for sure he would show up today after what happened on Friday."

Alexander laughed, "You do make a valid point." 'He would want to see that you are still alive and human.' Alexander thought to Amie, so no one else could hear or misunderstand what he said.

"What happened yesterday?" Liz and Ash asked at the same time. Immediately, Amie felt her face turn a deeper shade of red.

"Nothing," Amie and Alexander yelled in unison.

Ash gave both of them a curious and suspicious glance. When she opened her mouth to inquire more about the subject the bell rang and Amie shout out of her seat.

"Well I'll see you guys at lunch," She stated as fast as she could as she rushed off to her class with Liz rushing off after her.

Alexander could not help but laugh at Amie as she ran off with her face burning red. He found her extremely cute that way.

"So what did happen?" Ash asked Alexander as she slowly got up out of her seat.

Alexander was sure that if he could his face would have turned just as red as Amie's, "It's nothing… really," Alexander said as he got up, refusing to look down at Ash's suspicious face.

Ash smiled a devious smile, "Fine, I'll figure it out tonight," and she started to walk off. Alexander looked at her in surprise then quickly followed.

"What do you mean, what's happening tonight?" He asked when he caught up.

"You'll see at lunch," Ash said her smile getting wider and before he could get more out of her, she turned towards her class leaving Alexander behind to contemplate what was going through his devious sister's thoughts.

Alexander got to class just in time for the bell to ring. When he got to his seat he found himself glaring at the jocks in the back of the classroom again. He still found it hard to forgive them after what happened to Amie last week.

When he was in his seat he was surprised at how tiered he was. Usually vampires could last a week at least without sleep, but after two days he felt like his eyelids weighed a ton. 'What is the matter with me?' He thought to himself rubbing his eyes, attempting to get rid of the extra weight, but he had no such luck.

However he did have enough of it to get all the way to lunch without even setting his head on a desk. Although, during his art class one of the 'bright' students thought it would be fun to play heads up seven up. Thankfully, the teacher said no and saved him.

"Hey Alexander, how was your day," Amie asked while she sat down next to him during lunch, with a shy smile.

"Tiring," Alexander answered honestly rubbing his eyes, the weight had lessened, but it was still there.

Amie looked at him with confusion, "Did you sleep at all last night?"

Alexander was about to lie, but the look in her eyes made him think differently, "Nope." He said after letting out a deep sigh.

Amie's head tilted, and then her hand went to his forehead, "Are you feeling alright." She asked feeling the temperature on Alexander's forehead. Not that it would do her much good, Vampire's do not get the cold.

Alexander looked at her in shock, by the sudden touch. "Y-yeah, just didn't want to go to bed." When he said that Amie took her hand off his head and what seemed like empathy crossed her face. Alexander could only guess she remembered his hysterical call from the other night.

"I understand, but you still need to sleep." Amie's face turned pink and in a flash she gave Alexander a light peck on the cheek. It was so fast Alexander wasn't sure if it really happened or if it was just a fragment of his sleep deprived imagination.

Alexander lightly touched his cheek, "I'll take that under consideration," Alexander said with a smile and removed his hand. When he looked back at Amie the scene of her half dead body passed through his mind and the thought of sleep became off limits once again. When he looked at Amie her face was pale, 'Shit she saw!' Alexander thought, "Amie, are you alright?" He asked now feeling her forehead and holding on to her shoulder, just in case she fainted. Which he would not blame her for.

Right when Alexander's hand touched her head a little bit of color returned and she shook her head, now back to reality. "Yeah sorry," Amie said and put on a halfhearted smile.

"Hey, Amie," Ash called, as she sat down right next to said girl, "what are you doing after school tonight?"

Amie looked confused, but Alexander's face was now covered in shock as he plugged the pieces together. "Nothing, why do you ask?"

Ash smiled with confidence, "I want you to spend the night!"

Amie looked at Ash in shock, 'Does she know it's a school night?' she thought. "I'm not sure, today is Monday after all."

"I know, but I thought it would be nice for you to come over for a change, I never get a chance to have friends over." Ash said with sadness in her eyes, and Amie got a flash of all the lunches Ash spent with only Alexander. Then she got a flash of a night in an old wooden shack alone. The last memory shocked and confused Amie, but she knew not to dwell on it unless she wanted to invade her friend's personal memories.

"I'll have to ask L… My father," Amie said quickly fixing her mistake. 'Crap I almost said Liz,' Amie felt Alexander stiffen at the last word and Amie quickly put her hand in his, knowing it would calm him down some. She figured that after he found out about her father both beating her and selling her to an unknown vampire, he probably was not a big fan of the topic.

"I say we go!" Amie heard someone she was ninety-nine percent sure said he was going to be staying at Liz's house during school.

"Tiger what are you doing, you said you were staying home!" Amie almost yelled in her head, not sure if she should be surprised or not.

"I'm your familiar, and no matter how tired I am I have to go with you." Tiger said in his defense.

"Pets are not allowed in school!"

Amie then felt amusement wash over him. "I doubt anyone will see me."

"Okay then how about you come to my house after school and then ask if you can spend the night when it starts to get late." Ash compromised.

Amie jumped at her friend's voice broke through the conversation she was having with her stubborn Familiar. She had almost totally forgetting about Ash for a moment after Tiger's interruption.

"Why do you have to ask your dad Amie?" Liz said with a smile as she sat down next to Ash. "He has always been cool with you coming over to my house." 'I say you should go, it'll be fine' Liz said with a smile.

"You have a point I guess," Amie said smiling.

"So you're coming!" Ash exclaimed in excitement.

"Wait you are forgetting something?" Alexander said pushing his way into the conversation. "There are two teenage boys living in the house."

Ash rolled her eyes as his comment. "You and Michael are harmless, especially you," she winked showing she was just messing with him.

"Then what will you tell Ben?" Alexander asked.

"Don't worry, I know exactly how to deal with him." Amie looked at the two siblings in front of her in confusion as she tried her hardest to say out of their minds.

Alexander felt like he had fallen out of his seats more times today that he had in his past two-thousand years. He tried his best to not fall asleep so he made himself a small trap. During all of his classed he would lean back in his seat as much as he can so when he fell asleep he would fall backwards and wake up. He guessed that luck was on his side since there were no walls or fellow students behind him in his falling range every time he could not catch himself.

Then when Algebra came he found it next to impossible to fall asleep with Amie sitting barely even two feet way from him. The class was strangely quite despite teacher explaining the lesson, so Alexander somehow found himself looking at Amie through the corner of his eye. When class ended Ash came up with a brilliant idea that deeply amused her. She decided to ride with Michael instead of Alexander, so Amie was forced to ride with him an the way to their house.

During the entire drive Alexander could not help but think about what Ash had up her sleeve for Amie during their sleep over. Excluding the fact that she would ultimately try to get Amie to spill her guts out about what happened on their date. "Hey Amie?" Alexander started, figuring he should break the silence to ask a question.

"Yeah?" She said, looking up at him curiously.

"Did you hear anything in Ash's mind about the sleep over?"

Amie laughed, "No I'm trying my hardest to stay out of my friends' minds as much as possible, but sometimes you guys break through." She said then then her face turned pale, and Alexander knew why. "Was that from your… dream you called me for the other night?" Amie asked.

Alexander could feel himself flinch as the image, tried to come back up. "Yeah, a part of it."

"Was I actually... dead?" She asked as she looked down at the purse in her lap.

"No but you were damn close. I don't think have ever been that scared in my life." Alexander said and then he felt himself stiffen, 'Why did I just say that?'

"And it was a vampire right, that did that. I saw the… bite marks."

"Yeah, I'm sorry you shouldn't have had to see that," Alexander said feeling his numb heart gain a few pounds worth of guilt.

"It's fine, it's hard to control your thoughts, I should know." Amie said with a smile and Alexander could not help but smile back.

Amie was a bit surprised when Alexander drove into his drive way of his house. As far as she could tell it was relativity small, especially compared to Adrian's and Liz's. In fact, it was just a floor taller than her own house was.

"Wow," Amie said when he finally parked his car in the garage.

"What," Alexander started to ask in confusion as he look around the garage to make sure nothing was amiss, "is something wrong?"

"I didn't think your house would be so… so small." Amie said with a smile, "For the past week I have been living in mansions."

"He owned mansions," Alexander asked with wide eyes, referring to the Adrian. Although all he knew about was that she was talking about was a vampire.

"Only one, after that Li…" Amie started and then paused, mentally slapped herself, "it got some structural damage."

"Then where did you live?" Alexander said, and Amie sighed in relief that he did not push the matter.

"In his… I think you call them 'maker's?' mansion which was twice as big as his," Amie laughed.

"His maker lives in Frisco?" Alexander said his eyes growing wider, if that was possible. "Yet they have separate houses."

"Yeah," Amie said with another smile, she could not help it since he accepted her stolen 'maker' term, "he didn't know they were so close to each other until a few days ago."

"So are you going to tell me who this 'He' is?" Alexander said his eyes back to their normal size and one of his eye brows raised. "Or better yet, 'They?'"

"Nope," Amie said with a smile and opened the car door right when Ash and Michael pulled into the garage.

The four walked into the house and were immediately welcomed by a man that looked like he was in his mid, maybe late twenties. Amie guessed that he was Alexander's father, Benjamin.

Amie could not help but look at him in awe. He looked just as handsome as Michael, with sky blue eyes and perfect blonde hair. However she could tell that their faces were totally different. When Amie looked closely she knew that he could not be Michael's father, no matter how close you looked at the two. Michael's eyes and hair were both defiantly lighter to a certain degree then Benjamin's. Their facial features, like the shape of their eyes or the curve of their cheek bones, were also every different. When Amie thought about it she knew that most people could wither not see the difference, or simply chose not to.

"Hello kids," Their father said, his face content. However, his eyes narrowed when he caught sight of Amie, who fidgeted a little under the sudden pressure.

"Hey dad," Ash said giving Benjamin a smile despite the look on his face. "This is Amie, Amie this is our father, Benjamin."

"Hello sir," Amie said with a faint smile as she extended her hand for him to shake.

Benjamin looked at her hand for a minute but eventually took it reluctantly. "Hello," He said in a monotone.

"Dad, is it okay if Amie spends the night?" Ash asked with pleading eyes.

Benjamin looked at her with shock, 'What is she thinking?' Amie heard form his mind, but immediately pushed away from it, and towards Tigers. Not that he thought about much in his sleep. "No, you know the rules Ash," He answered with a stern look.

"Awe, please, I never get to have a real sleepover with friends." Ash said with a puppy dog look that Amie knew all too well after spending a year with Liz. "Everyone else gets to have slumber parties and pillow fights."

Benjamin looked at Ash like he was weighing his options, "Fine, but no funny business, after all it is a school night." 'Please don't do anything to reveal us,' He thought loud enough to catch Amie's attention. She tried her best to not smile at the irony of his inside comment.

"Thank you Ben!" Ash yelled as she hugged him, and then she grabbed Amie's and Alexander's sleeves and started to drag them to an unknown room.

"Ash what are you doing?" Alexander said with a raised eye brow. Amie could only guess that he knew where Ash was taking them.

"It's a surprise," Ash said as her smile widened.

Ash stopped in front of a door and then let go of Amie's sleeve to open it, "Ash are we…" Alexander started.

"Yes, we are." Ash pointed out as she opened the door to reveal a mini movie theater. Amie looked at it and was a little surprised. Of course Liz had one that was a lot bigger, but that did not mean she was not surprised by the fact that there was even one in Alexander's little house. "Time for a movie watching, game playing marathon!"

Alexander just gave Ash a suspicious look as she walked over to the DVD player, knowing she had more up her sleeve than a simple marathon. "Okay first things first," Ash started opening the movie drawer and pulling on a movie that made Alexander want to growl, "Twilight!"

Amie looked at the movie in disgust while Alexander looked at it in anger, "NO!" They both yelled. In all honesty Alexander did not even know where or when his sister had gotten the ghastly movie.

"Awe… common just this one movie, then we can do anything you two want!"

"No," Amie said crossing her arms, "I'm not going to watch Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson ruin the book for me!"

"I just don't want to see Vampire sparkle," Alexander said with a sly smile.

"Please," Ash began to beg, "I never get to watch chic flicks with a fellow girl."

Alexander looked at Amie smiled, immediately knowing what her answer would be, "Fine," Amie said as she let out a sigh in defeat, "But I warn you I will leave if I get too pissed off at it."

Alexander let out a sigh as well, he honestly wanted to stay with Amie for as long as he was able, "I'll watch it too I guess."

"Yay," Ash practically yelled with excitement, "I'll go get the popcorn and soda." She then stuck the movie into the player and rushed out the door.

Amie looked at Ash as she left then went to sit on one of the seats, "I hope you know she isn't coming back." Amie said with the defeated look still on her face.

Alexander could not help but laugh as he took one of the seats next to her, "I should have seen that coming."

"The really sad part is… I really wanted that popcorn." Amie said with a joking smile.

Amie had to admit, she attempted to leave the moment the movie started and Kristen Stewart's voice came through the speakers, but the minute she moved she felt something holding her in place. She looked at her shoulder and found an all too familiar hand holding onto it. She looked over and found that Alexander had his arm rested perfectly behind her back, refusing to move.

Amie felt her face blush and looked at Alexander and tried to put in her best angry face in an attempt for him to let her leave. He simply smiled at her response and continued to look at the movie. Amie still wanted to leave a every other minute during the movie after that, but Alexander refused to let go of her shoulder and Amie was too focused on that little fact to fight against him.

Amie did catch a few things in the movie that caught her attention, but she mostly tuned it out. On occasion she would become fully aware of Alexander's hand and found herself spacing out because of it. When the movie was finally over she felt Alexander shaking. Amie looked at him in alarm until she heard his thoughts.

"You are so childish," Amie said as she rolled her eyes, a smile attempting to appear on her face, despite the fact that she was trying her hardest to be serious.

Alexander continued to shake with laughter for a couple minutes until he finally responded. "Awe, common, your face was priceless!" He stated as he whipped a stray tear away from his eye, apparently he was finally done laughing.

"You are so not funny," Amie said turning away but before she could get very far she felt Alexander suddenly hug her. Amie felt her breathing stop and her body freeze at the close proximity between the two.

"Please, don't be angry," He pleaded in Amie's ear causing a brief shiver to run up her back. "I wasn't trying to be rude."

Amie did not know what to do, honestly. She just barely heard anything Alexander had literally just said. Plus she was sure her face was turning purple from both the lack of oxygen, and the amount of blood rushing into her head.

"Amie," he said letting go and turning Amie around to face him. "Are you alright?"

Amie let in a shaky breath and nodded briefly, not knowing if her throat was quite ready to be used. Alexander gave her a worried look and laid his forehead on Amie's, making her hold in her breath once again. 'So close,' she thought as she stared at him in shock.

"You sure, you fell a little warm?"

"Y-yeah, I just need some air," Amie said quickly grabbing Alexander's hand and turned around to hide her now red face. Right when she did Ash popped out of nowhere and scared Amie so much she jumped ten feet into the air and tighten her hold on Alexander's hand.

"Hey you two, how was the movie?" Ashe asked with a smirk. Amie just glared at her, and gave her the 'What do you think?' look. "It's time for dinner, oh, and Ben says to wash up."

Alexander nodded and said, "Alright we'll be down shortly." Ash smiled and headed towards, what Amie guessed, was the dining room. "Here, this way," Alexander said leading Amie the opposite direction of where Ash went. Alexander stopped in front of the door, "Here is the washroom, you better wash up fast or Ben will get angry." he stated with a wide smile.

Amie opened the door and could not hold in her laugh, "You guys are so old fashioned," she said before going into the bathroom and closing the door behind her. When it closed she could not help but let a few small tears escape her eyes. She could not help but feel pained remembering her mother made her do the same thing before they ate dinner.
