Part 3

Cayla didn't really feel like joining the rest of the Daybreakers that evening. The small human girl called Maggie had finally left her alone. Cayla had grown tired of hearing her endless enthusiasm about how she needed to have faith and she'd get her soulmate in the end, they were meant to be together and no one could do anything about that.

Cayla sighed. Just another discrimination against werewolves. She had known right from the start a Redfern vampire would never accept her. He'd tried to convince her it was because he already *had* a girlfriend. Cayla had known that. There had been that glimmer of hope when she had discovered the connection, just maybe, *maybe* he could change his mind and realise she was the right one for him.

~Wishful thinking~ she thought sadly.

If she were anything but a werewolf, she might have stood a chance. It had been happening to her all her life. She'd run for Class President in junior high, only to be beaten by a witch. She'd wanted to be a cheerleader in her freshman year, oddly enough, the vampire leading the squad had denied her the opportunity. She was even positive she'd flunked some classes because the Night World teachers had recognised what she was. (Maybe that part was just paranoia).

"You don't have to take this sitting down you know."

Bored, she had managed to find her friend Shania online with her AOL messenger.

"What'd you mean?" Cayla typed back. She was used to this by now. She just tended to put up with what she got.

"You never stand up for yourself. Do something about this." Was Shania's reply. "He's yours."

Cayla wasn't even sure she *wanted* Ardon if he was already obsessed with Astara Blackthorn. What was the point of going for a guy who was already madly in love with his girlfriend?

"Do something about the bitch." Shania insisted.

After her last message, Shania's user name disappeared. She had turned off her AOL messenger, leaving Cayla to ponder what she had said. She logged off herself, sitting on her window seat, thinking.

Could she really do something about Ardon and Astara? She smiled faintly. ~What am I going to do? Start the Werewolf's Are People Too group?~ Clearly Shania had meant for her to do more than that.

But what? She didn't really know. How could she do anything against two vampires who were constantly surrounded by people?

Spreading rumours, gossip and starting trouble for them was kind of dull. She had an imagination somewhere inside her head. All she had to do was drag it out and use it.

A/N: I know the parts for all my stories are kind of short, but that's just the way I write - regular short parts which I find easier to take in than parts of 30K plus in size. Thanks for all the feedback :)
