Chapter 9

While everyone else, didn't mind the snow, Lita was panicking. "My flowers, they'll die". "Lita chill, you planted them yesterday, they could use the water, and if your worried about sunlight, shine a light on them" Mina said shaking her head.

They continued to argue until, Raye yelled "SHUT UP!" 'Yep she's defiantly going to be a strong vampire' I thought. However my thoughts were interrupted. "Hey Serenity why aren't you going to take him hunting?" asked Raye. I paused before answering, "Because I can't stop him from killing. As long as he doesn't kill on his first hunt, than chances are he will have more control. By the way who took you hunting?" "It wasn't Dager, even though he changed me. It was another vampire; I barely remember what he looked like. But he didn't let me kill" she said.

"Listen when he wakes up, he's going to be very weak, and ready to kill. When one of you takes him hunting pull him off the person before he manages to take enough blood to kill them" I said. "Sere where do you get yourself control? I mean yours is better than ours is. And why is it so important that he doesn't kill on his first hunt?" Mina asked. "Mina you're the oldest here and you don't know," I said shaking my head in disbelief. "When you kill, the lust to do it again returns twice as strong. I'm the only one who knows what it's like to wake up to that mind numbing pain". They didn't say another word after that.

Lita went outside and, put up a flashlight to shine down on her flowerbed. Raye went out in search of a job, and to practice her fighting skills, she was now determined to beat me. Amy went to her room, and study one of her medical textbooks, even though she was four chapters ahead. Amy wanted to be a doctor that didn't work with anything bloody, for fear of losing her control. And Mina went shopping, and if there's a sale somewhere, then they were all doomed, because most likely she would drag us there, and make us try on clothes, and who knows what else.

Most of the day, I watched Darien making sure nothing went wrong. I had known a vampire that had woken up early, and during the day too. Even though he was a very strong vampire, a vampire that could probably rival me in pure strength, he had no self-control.

As I watched him sleep, I realized how cute he looked, when he was sleeping. Wait a minute that last thought didn't sink well in, did I just say he was cute! Even though my face didn't show it, inside that thought haunted me, and tortured me. When I glanced at Darien, I noticed something different about him. I realized that it was just part of the transformation, his aura grew stronger, and his complexion became flawless. His eyes also became black. Even though I couldn't see it, I knew his eyes were black, you see there are three eye colors vamps. have. Those colors are black, green, and the rare silver. My friends used their powers to hide their black eyes, and made them appear the color they were before, they were changed. Actually Lita's eyes were an eerie green, but she made them look the emerald green, they once were.

I walked downstairs around lunchtime, to head over to the crown, and tell Andrew his friend was ok. As I walked out the door, Raye was walking in. "Hey Raye there is one thing you've already mastered as vampire" I stated coolly. "And what's that?" she asked. "Deception" I stated, "When I first saw you I knew you weren't human, but wasn't a vampire." "How did I manage to fool you?" she nearly laughed. I could tell she was trying to hold it in, and was doing a very good job of it. "You were a priestess right?" I watched her nod, before I continued. "Well I believe that that's what caused me to believe something else."

We didn't say anything more to each other, just gave a silent nod, and went on our ways. The walk to the crown was quick, but then again 100 years is a blink of an eye to a vampire.

Trough the glass door I could see Andrew was there, his aura filled with worry, and boredom. There wasn't much of crowd now, probably because everyone else was in school. Because of his boredom, his shields were down, and it took little effort to make him come outside. Though even if his shields weren't down, it would still take little effort to make him come outside. Once he was outside, he looked around in confusion, obviously wondering how he'd gotten out here.

"Hey Serenity do you know where Darien is today?" he asked me. "Do not worry he's fine, he's at my place resting. He hit his head last night, so I brought him to my home" I said. "No offense Serenity, but you don't look like you could have gotten him to your house all by yourself" he said. "I was with a couple of friends, they helped me" I said. It wasn't a complete lie, I mean they did help him when I brought him to the mansion. "Good, Hey Serenity can you watch this place for me, for about an hour?" he asked. "Maybe, but why?" I asked him. "My girlfriend invited me to lunch, and I couldn't come because I had to watch this place" he said. "Fine, just show me where everything is" I sighed. "Thank you" he said, as he showed me where all the drinks were, and all the other stuff.

So he left, and now I was stuck in complete boredom. Instead of using my mind, I called the girls, and told them where I was.

Of course, after that the place was mobbed. However it was fun to play bartender, I got to impress people with tricks, and got to talk to people. And for 50 minutes I forgot everything, and felt almost human. I later cursed myself for forgetting who I was. When Andrew returned, he was surprised to find everything under control and during the busiest time too. "Hi Andrew, have fun with your girlfriend?" I smiled. "Yeah" he said, still shocked. "Hey this was fun, call me if you need help again" I said. "How about you work here? If you can do this all by yourself why not?" he asked. "Alright, but you don't have to pay me. I don't need the money, and it was fun" I said. "Are you sure?" he scratched his head. "Yep" "Okay we got a deal, you can start tomorrow" he said, putting his hand out. I shook his hand, and then later scolded myself, for making friends with another human.

I was in a cheerful mood as I walked back to the mansion, which I was thinking of naming, Night Manor. But my cheerful mood ended when I saw Dager ahead of me. "What do you want" I spat. He snapped his fingers, and all of a sudden everything went blurry. The next thing I knew we were standing in a dark and misty area. "Where are we?" I commanded. "We are in the chamber of lost souls. This Serenity is where our fight will take place," he said. "Why do you want to fight me so badly? I demand to know" I said, making eye contact. "Well.."

CLIFFHANGER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aren't I evil? I hope you liked this chapter. Sadly this story is coming to an end about 2 chapters left. One being the actual last chapter, and the other the epilogue. Ok what I'm about to say next is stupid, but read anyway. I'm thinking of writing another vampire fic. But it will be called the Demon within. Yes I know stupid. It's about Serena being a vampire but everyone else doesn't know. She meets the scouts, but doesn't tell them what she is, but somehow they find out. What would be their reaction? Tell me if I should write it or not? There will be a few changes to that description. Any way please review even if you don't like it. And thanks to all my previous reviewers, I probably wouldn't have continued the story without your nice comments and asking me to continue. Thank You again. Dance Like A Monkey!!!!!!(Sorry that's was extra energy build up. What I've been cooped up in school all day what do you expect)
