~x~ Chapter 51 ~x~

TK was bubbling with nerves as the group made their way to the Capital FM building. She couldn't believe that she was going to be on the show. She even had to pinch herself several times to make sure that she wasn't dreaming. She'd been listening to the station for years and she never thought that she'd one day be on it. After having had one interview for the day already, TK found herself wondering what questions she would be asked this time. She found herself enjoying the odd experience. Sure, some questions threw her like the ones that probed into her private life a little too much for comfort but she liked finding ways to avoid and side-step those questions.

To her, interviews resembled an intricate puzzle. It was like trying to work out what people might want to know and what details should be held back so that she could maintain her privacy. She hadn't liked the sound of interviews at first, but after sitting through the one in the morning with the journalist from Glamour Magazine, she found that it wasn't actually as terrifying as she thought it would be.

While the group was waiting in the room prepared for them, TK was shocked and literally fell out of her chair when she heard a semi-contained scream. She glared up from the floor at Karen and Kelly who looked somewhat shell shocked. They were both looking at the window and TK followed their line of sight to see what the big deal was. From where she was she couldn't quite see but she knew that it must have been a pretty big deal because this was the same reaction as when the pair of girls found out that they were going to meet Drew.

She smiled gratefully at Jake as he helped her up and when she looked out of the glass panel that led onto the corridor, she could see why the girls had screamed. She couldn't help but laugh at the sheer coincidences that seemed to crash into her life lately.

A boy band who had become extremely popular throughout the UK and apparently the States too through the show 'X Factor' appeared to be having an interview in the room directly opposite theirs and from the looks of things they seemed to be finishing up.

"You know of them?" TK asked in surprise at the two girls.

"Know of them? Are you kidding me? How can we not know of them?" Karen blurted out.

"English accents continue to be able to make girls swoon, what on earth do you think young teenage English boy bands would do to girls around the world?" Kelly pretended to swoon and TK had a suspicion that the swoon was only partly pretended if the awe in Kelly's eyes was anything to go by.

"Seriously, what is it with girls and loving the English accent?" TK rolled her eyes. She turned to Harrison and James curiously and tilted her head to the side. "What's it like having girlfriends who would squeal and jump in excitement when they see teen stars? Isn't it a little weird?"

"It was a little weird at first but it would be unfair of us to expect them to change instantly from their usual reactions just because they were going out with someone. It's the same as when we naturally think that another girl is attractive and we voice it. So long as we don't do anything inappropriate, it's fine." James shrugged.

"Besides, we get the pride of knowing that they chose us and not them." Harrison grinned.

"Well, I suppose that that is true." TK nodded hesitantly though she still didn't quite understand. "But isn't it just a little weird?"

"Us guys don't scream when we see people we might idolise, but we have a pretty similar reaction so I can understand what the girls are feeling." Jake shrugged.

"Please tell me you don't feel the same." TK turned to Konstantin.

"No. But if I see an author whom I admire I would certainly be thrilled. You had the same reaction to our author if I recall rightly." Konstantin smirked.

"Well, yeah, but that's because she's an international best seller." TK protested indignantly.

"There you go, everyone has different tastes, Rayne," he shrugged.

"Hm," she pursed her lips and nodded slowly. "Yeah, I see your point."

"Seriously, I am loving England more and more by the minute." Karen smiled and sat back down after getting a good look at the five boys across the hall.

"Think about it this way, but aren't we even more likely to be seeing amazing celebrities at the premier on Thursday?" TK tilted her head to the side.

"Yes, but what are the chances of seeing an English boy band in the flesh?" Kelly grinned.

"Who knows, they might be invited, they might now. I don't really know how the guest list works for a red carpet event…" the young girl shrugged.

Ten minutes later, a runner came into the room and let the crew know that they were ready to have them on air now. TK tensed and took a deep breath before releasing it.

Jake discreetly slipped an arm around her waist and gave a gentle squeeze on her hip. "You alright?"

"Yeah," she breathed and glanced up at him gratefully. "I just can't believe that I'm here."

"Here or here as in back home?"

"Well, both," she laughed. "I can't wait to show you around."

"Me neither, Ray," he chuckled. "It'll be so much fun."

"Let's hope we get good weather though, England switches way too easily from nice weather to pretty much torrential rain. It's pretty ridiculous."

"I'm sure we'll think of something even if it does rain." Jake shrugged with a grin and the pair of them were the last to walk into the room where they were doing a live broadcast of their interview.

They made their way to the high stools and she found it a little difficult getting up onto the stool in her heels. She smiled appreciatively at Konstantin as he easily helped lift her up by her waist and she sat comfortably on it after shuffling a couple of times.

Lisa Snowdon smiled when she noticed the interaction and she could instantly see why there might be so many rumours floating around the media about something going on between the pair. They certainly provided enough material to rouse the imagination of whether these two were romantically involved or whether they were just really close friends.

"Well then, we've just had the lovely One Direction boys here on air and now we've got a few members of a teen book sensation cast of a book series known as Vampire Academy. So, already, although it's only been a few months since it was announced that the series will indeed be transformed into a film, many of you have questions about our lovely cast. But firstly, let's welcome them on the air. Hello, I believe that this will be the first time being on Capital for all of you."

"Yes, and it's an absolute pleasure to be here. I've been listening to Capital since we first landed I think." Karen smiled in greeting and turned to Kelly for an agreement.

"Oh yeah, I think we listened to it the last time we were here in London as well on our actress hunt." Kelly laughed.

"Actress hunt?" Lisa frowned and tilted her head to the side. "Isn't that a little… unusual?"

"It's very unusual." Konstantin agreed. "But we just couldn't find someone who seemed to be what Richelle was looking for to see the character 'Rose' in so we decided to follow Carlisle on the hunt for our lead actress."

"And of course, you found her in these very streets of London! A lot of people having been dying to know because, of course, something like this doesn't happen very often. Just how did you find yourself being offered the role of 'Rose Hathaway', Rayne?"

"To be honest, I'm still wondering to myself how it happened." TK laughed shyly. "I mean, I didn't particularly do anything but just live my everyday life."

"But you are a fan of the series, aren't you?"

"Haha, did you find that out from Alexis Jordan's show?"

"Yes. That was a news breaking interview to find out what pretty much the whole world has wondered. To finally find out that Alexandra Yvanov does have a daughter was incredible."

"Well, being both an avid fan of the series wanting to see a production of the series and being my mother's daughter, I did know that Vampire Academy was being made into a film. I got an email from my mum about it a few months ago asking me to put up posters everywhere saying that they were going to host auditions here in London to look for someone to play the character."

"And at that point did you jump at the chance to give it your best shot to play your heroine?"

"Oh no, I get terrified of being in front of the camera so the thought never even crossed my mind!"

"You get camera shy? That can't possibly be the case! I mean, just look at your photos from the Seventeen Magazine shoot."

"Well, it definitely did take a lot of getting used to." TK admitted. "I mean, when we first tried shooting some of the scenes, I would be so nervous but because this is a really incredible cast, everyone has helped me through it. They're just so supportive. I couldn't have asked for better people to work with."

"Love you, Rayne." Karen laughed and reached across Jake to give TK a gentle squeeze on the knee.

"You guys have really bonded well from the looks of things, especially in such a short period of time."

"We're all pretty much the same age so that's definitely helped." Kelly replied. "I mean, we all just sort of bonded right from the start and having spent so much time around each other it was hard not to form into the tight knit group we are now."

"I think just about everyone here has heard the story except for me, but how did Carlisle find you, Rayne?" Harrison turned slightly so that he could stare at her.

"Actually, Carlisle wasn't the one who found me, I think it was KJ." TK shrugged.

"Technically, Catherine met you first but she didn't really know it was you at the time."

"Oh yeah, she thought that I was a little boy." TK laughed.

"It wasn't my fault." Karen protested indignantly. "You were wearing a hat and it was dark and the ridiculous clothes that were way too big for you."

"Hey, I like my clothes perfectly fine." TK pouted.

"Not to mention, you beat up those guys."

"It's a good thing I spotted you on the bus and saved you otherwise who knew what would've happened."

"What made you catch Konstantin's eye so that you were asked by Carlisle to be a member of the cast?"

"It was because of that fight at the café, wasn't it?" TK tilted her head to the side and glanced at Konstantin.

"Ah yes, the one with the boys when you taught them a lesson." Konstantin chuckled. "I remembered that."

"I'll bet you did, and your stupidly huge tip as well." TK rolled her eyes.

"You used to work in a café?"

"Yeah, it's probably going to be exposed eventually if it hasn't already but I used to work in a lovely little café in Clapham and that's where Konstantin found me there."

"It was because you gave me the lovely cake that I decide to visit the café, Rayne."

"Cake?" Lisa blinked in surprise.

"I was new to London and was just getting back to the house that Carlisle had rented for the week when I bumped into Rayne and saved her cakes from being taken by a beggar. I didn't really think anything at the time but the cake was good so I decided to go to the café and when I saw Rayne, I just thought that she should have a shot at auditioning for the role of 'Rose'. I actually met Rayne on the same night as Catherine."

"Oh wow, that has got to be the most obscure way of finding a lead actress for a film." Lisa laughed.

"It is a little strange isn't it?" TK smiled.

"That's an understatement, Ray." James chuckled. "I don't think there's been an actress who was found in the way that you were."

"I thank my butt kicking skills in helping me get the job." TK smirked. "I definitely never thought that I would be a member of the cast, but now that I am, I feel so blessed because I've made such wonderful people and made such a good friends. Not to mention, I get to see my mum a lot now too which is awesome."

"You fight?" Lisa asked, intrigued with the idea of it.

"Yeah, I learned self-defence and martial arts when I was young. I was definitely inspired by Jackie Chan and Jet Li when I was small so I begged to have classes and I'd been taking them ever since. It's definitely made training a lot easier for this film because it's so demanding and the fighting scenes involved have been so much fun."

"Do any of you know how to fight aside from Rayne?" Lisa asked curiously.

"Sort of. I mean, we're guys so we know how to fight to a certain extent but definitely nothing like those two." Jake shook his head and pointed at Konstantin and TK. "I've only seen people fight the way these two could in movies."

"It's certainly been fun to have a new sparring partner." TK laughed and nudged Konstantin with her shoulder.

"So between Konstantin and Rayne, who's better?" Lisa probed.

"Hm…" TK tilted her head to the side in thought. "I don't know actually. I think we're on a draw at the moment, aren't we?"

"That may be right." Konstantin shrugged. "We've had too many matches to count."

"For each of you, what was the most shocking thing that has happened so far since joining the cast?"

"I think my most shocking moment was finding out Rayne was Alexandra Yvanov's daughter and then meeting the Director in person." Harrison smiled at the memory.

"I think I'll have to agree with Quinn, finding out that Rayne's mum was Alexandra Yvanov was really shocking." Karen commented.

"My most shocking moment was probably watching Ray and Konstantin fight in LA and dreading the fact that I would have to have my butt kicked by a girl in rehearsals." James grimaced. "I don't think I'll ever get used to something like that."

"Aw, Jay, you've been getting better through training so you won't have to worry about a girl being a better fighter than you anymore. I'm just a rare exception." TK laughed. "Mine's probably when Quinny and I got ambushed outside of a spa that one time. That was really unexpected."

"I don't think I'll ever get used to how much Ray can eat. Seriously, this girl can eat more than most of us." Jake teased her.

"Hey, I'm a healthy girl, that's the way I look at it." TK pouted.

"It's one thing to be healthy, but the amount you can eat and still stay so gorgeous is just unfair." Kelly rolled her eyes. "Mine was probably when I watched the fight scene that was filmed on the London streets that time when Konstantin found Rayne and suggested to Carlisle to make her 'Rose'. Then Carlisle decided to put her through a secret audition."

"Oh! I remember that! It was when those guys appeared out of nowhere on the streets and jumped us…" TK grimaced. "I had no idea that there were actors, otherwise I wouldn't have hit them so hard."

"It was our fault for not explaining the situation before hand but for some reason Carlisle said that it would be better if it was done in secret without your knowledge." Harrison shrugged.

"All things considered, things ended rather well, don't you think?" Lisa smiled.

"Very well." TK nodded in agreement.

"Okay, here is another question that a lot of people have put forward. Now, Konstantin, you're the eldest member of this tightly bound group of friends, granted not my much but you're still older than the rest of them. What's been the most embarrassing moment for you so far?"

Konstantin's expression became thoughtful as everyone else turned to look at him curiously.

"And to think that it would just be Rayne getting the difficult questions…" he commented. "It's hard to say really, there've been a couple like being told off by Rayne about my bad smoking habits."

"And now you've toned it down a lot too." TK scoffed.

"It was either that or wasting money on them and having you stomp all over my packets before I could even get to them." Konstantin glanced down at her with a mock glare. "And of course, there was the fact that I found out she was fully capable beating me in a fight. That was a shocking revelation to say the least."

"Hey, I see it as a win-win situation there, dude." TK grinned cheekily. "You save money and your lungs! How can you complain about that?"

"You don't look like the type to be a serious smoker, Konstantin." Lisa commented casually.

"Oh, I was a very heavy smoker before Rayne appeared." Konstantin shook his head. "It was one of my terrible habits."

"So, even you admit that it wasn't doing you any good." TK laughed victoriously.

"I never said that it wasn't a bad habit." Konstantin arched his brows at her.

"With the relationship you all seem to have with one another, one would think that you've actually known each other for a long time." Lisa pointed out.

"Well, in a way, we have." Karen replied. "I mean, yes, it's only been a few months, but even during that time we've spent most if not all the time together. It was more than the amount of time you would spend with someone at school."

"We were all bound to get to know each other and become close. Sure we might have some differences in age but it's only by a couple of years for most of us." Harrison shrugged.

"Not to mention, we all like similar things so it was really easy to get along to begin with." James added.

"But Carlisle's way of filming this movie is a little odd, don't you think? Most actors only appear on set when they are required and although I don't know the series all that well myself, I doubt that you have all been required for shoots just yet." Lisa frowned.

"It is a little strange." Harrison nodded in agreement. "But that's the way that Carlisle works."

"He prefers the cast to be really well acquainted with each other and for us to be able to form friendships. That's just the way that he is." Konstantin smiled. "It's also a lot easier to have us all close by so that if there was a need for an emergency change of schedule then at least there are enough of us here to make it work."

"Besides, although I've never heard of a director who directs the way that Mister Director does, I really like it because it gave me the best opportunity in getting to know the people around me as well as I have." TK beamed. "It's been so much fun actually staying on set as well. I've never heard of things done the way Mister Director has, but then again, my mum did say that he has a rather eccentric way of doing things."

"That is definitely true." Kelly nodded in agreement. "I remember that first day when we got back to L.A. after finding Rayne, we found out that he already had houses ready for all of us to stay there. I remember thinking that it was a little odd, but it was really fun being in a house together."

"Yeah, that was also where I found out that Jake could hardly cook at all!" TK laughed and nudged him playfully. "Though, Quinny can make one delicious spag bol!"

"You guys take turns to cook?" Lisa blinked in surprise.

"Of course." Kelly nodded.

"We have some chefs on set but that's only for lunch when we have more people around." Karen added.

"For lunch and dinner we tend to improvise and take turns cooking." James explained.

"Rayne and Konstantin are the best though with the most knowledge of different recipes." Harrison grinned. "But we all have our individual dishes that we know how to make well. With the exception of Jake though."

"Hey, it's not my fault that I'm incapable of cooking well." Jake protested defensively.

"Now, we haven't exactly had a solid confirmation from anyone about this aside from the change of cast list on the imdb web page, but it seems that there's been a slight change of cast, no? Why is that?" Lisa asked casually, not knowing that the subject was one that hadn't been touched for a while and none of them, with the exception of TK and Konstantin, had expected the topic to be brought up again.

The pair of them had been warned by Carlisle that although it was a fairly minor event, it was bound to make people curious and so he had advised both of them to be prepared should that question arise at any of the interviews that they would have in London.

The sudden tension that was in the small room was so blatant and obvious that even Lisa noticed and shifted uncomfortably in her seat. She glanced at the cast members cautiously and she could see the indecision in their eyes, on their faces, each wondering who should answer. It was obvious that this wasn't as innocent of a question as she'd first thought and she was about to gesture to the technician beside her to cut to the adverts and speak when she noticed a small smile appear on TK's face.

The smile was somewhat strange. It was incredibly closed off and one that didn't seem to suit the girl's bubbly personality at all, and yet, Lisa couldn't shake the feeling that it was a smile that had appeared on the young actress' face many times before. It was definitely not the first time TK had given that kind of smile, Lisa was sure of that. The gleam that was in the young actress' eyes was even more unexpected. It was as though TK was telling herself that she had expected the question all along but was simply wondering when it was going to crop up, whether it be in the interview now, or the one tomorrow. She certainly didn't seem nearly as stunned and taken aback by the question as the other cast members did. The subtle glance that Konstantin and Jake sent to her told Lisa that whatever happened with the original actor who was supposed to play 'Jesse Zeklos', it had involved TK in some way.

Lisa Snowdon quickly found herself wondering whether it was wise for her to have asked that question and whether or not she had just dug herself a big massive hole.
