I have just realised I could end up in serious trouble. I have been forgetting to put disclaimers.

Darren Shan is owned by Darren Shan(?)

It was three days since the 'Incident'. Larten was still asleep. "What a nerve," Arra muttered to herself, "He kisses me and then sleeps for three days and nights." She was sat in the 'corner chair' looking after Larten. Without warning he woke up suddenly and sat upright. "Hey," he said "how's things?" "Fine," she smiled warmly, then she decided to jump straight to the point, "the other day, were you...er..." "Delirious?" he laughed, "no." She walked up to him and sat on the bed. She then leaned towards him and kissed him, passionately. He responded, lovingly, pulling her closer. "Can we leave you two alone for two minutes?" Vancha was standing at the foot of the bed, laughing. "The second you wake up all you want to do is kiss that ugly half- vampiress!" Larten leapt out of the bed and launched his fist full on into Vancha's jaw. Vancha grabbed Larten and threw him threw the wooden wall of the room and Larten tumbled down the stairs. Vancha leapt through the hole in the wall and jumped downstairs after him, snarling. Seba, Paris and Gavner had been downstairs having a meal and immediately jumped to their feet. Larten smacked Vancha in the face again. Vancha smashed his foot into Larten's stomach and Larten doubled over, wheezing. Then Vancha crashed his knee into Larten's face. Larten had a bloody nose and was partially winded but he stood up. Arra rushed down the stairs. This was the only moment in which Larten could win. He ran towards the balcony and jumped on to the rail at the front of it. He was about to do a move which he would only use once again, many years from now... He twisted his body onto a handstand on the rail. He then propelled himself diagonally towards Vancha, feet first and double kicked him. Vancha fell to the floor like a ton of bricks. Larten rushed towards him and put a foot on top of his throat. "Take that back." Larten growled. "No." Vancha choked. "Fine." Larten said. He then kicked him in the side of his head. "Now, take it back." "NO!" "I'm your friend Vancha, I don't want to have to do this." "Fine. I take it back, but only because its you Larten." "Why, Vancha? Why do you have to say these things?" Arra choked, her eyes full of unspilled tears. "I want to know too Vancha." Paris said. "As your mentor I must know." "Me too." Gavner said. Vancha mumbled something in German. "So everyone hears you." Larten growled. "BECAUSE SHE IS A BETTER VAMPIRE AND HUMAN THAN I WILL EVER BE!" Vancha roared. Vancha seized Larten's foot and threw him on the floor, then rushed upstairs, Paris ran after him. Larten got up and sat down. Arra rushed over and joined him. "What was that all about?" Larten asked. "I don't know, and somehow I don't think we ever will." she replied.

......

Larten and Arra were in bed. Arra was deeply asleep, dreaming away. Beside her Larten was awake. "I wish I knew what Vancha was so upset about. Even after the fight today
he is one of my best friends. He seems to be going through something
terrible and painful, and if he told us we might be able to help him.
However, Arra is right, he will never tell us, it is to do with him and
Paris alone..." With that as his closing thought, Larten laid down, wrapped his arms around Arra and fell asleep.
