Now back from our sponsor to the story we are sorry for the inconvenience enjoy:

Nessa stared after Darren until his retreating back disappeared into the darkness. She headed for Stata park which she lived near by. She sat on one of the swings and thought about the "fight" she had with her mother.

+Maybe I was too hard on her? I shouldn't have yelled at her like that,+

+but she did lie to u+ After sitting thinking for nearly an hour, Nessa got up and headed back for home.

+maybe I should say sorry? I mean I was hard on her, and I hate it when we fight (which is hardly ever might I add) oh I don't know! Everything is so messed up!+

Finally back home, she climbed up the drain pipe and in through her bedroom window. She went through her daily routine of getting ready for bed, then afterwards turned off the light and crawled into bed. She fell asleep almost as soon as her head touched the pillow.

She was standing in a long, dark alley, papers littering it all the way down. She could feel them rustling at her feet in the breeze, calmly wisping away the strands of hair that fell loosely at the sides of her face, that would never stay up with the rest of her ponytail.

Suddenly a dark figure appeared in front of her +now this seems familiar+ she thought, but she couldn't quite bring her mind to how.

It started to walk towards her, she saw a glint of silver by its side before she could make any movement, it rushed at her, and grabbed her by the thought, hand over her mouth and nose. She couldn't breathe. She heard it breathe, and could tell it was male, by the deep husky breathing it made.

'You weren't meant to be, I don't understand how, and I don't understand why, but you've come back into my life, and have gotten into the way. You must pay for that. Remember this as your last dieing thought, I have never loved you, and never will, no one loves you, you were an abomination that wasn't meant to exist. Remember that.' And with that, he slid the silver glinting knife across her throat in one quick, swift movement.

Just as she felt the knife enter her throat, Nessa surfaced awake from her dream. She could still feel the coldness and pain across her neck. She jumped out of bed, turned on the lamp, and went to the mirror. She gasped, for along her neck, was a light pink scar.

She didn't understand, dreams never did this to her! What could have happened? It may have been a premonition, her mum had told her about that. Her grandmother had lots of premonitions, and got into lots of trouble because of them. Her mother told her that the 'gift' or rather the burden, skipped a generation, and then went to the next female. She was too tired to think straight. She was probably just imagining the mark being there. Nessa went back to bed and read for a while before she drifted back to sleep with the light left on.

Nessa woke up from her dreamless sleep, to the sound of her alarm clock wailing to life. She groaned to herself and then got up to do her normal daily routine of getting dressed for school. She had to wear a uniform, of which she detested. It consisted of, a grey plaited skirt, a red and white striped shirt, and a blue v-neckes jumper, that felt like Hessian when she pulled it over her head.

+School+ Nessa thinks. +Blach. The joys of another boring day at the oh so amazing 'Kensington private school for the mixed upper class' my goddess how snobby does that sound?!+

After getting some breakfast, Nessa headed out the door and went towards the school. The school used to be a mansion, but was converted in the early 60's into the school. All in all, the school was beautiful, with large sand stone walls, and French windows. This school had a theme of grandness. There was no lacking in facilities, and was always kept up to date.

Nessa sat down in her large classroom, with walls the colour of a deep turquoise, and a large black board that touched the high ceiling. The teacher, Miss Jennings arrived moments after, and took the register.

After the register had been taken, a knock at the door was heard by all present in the room.

"Come in," came the prim and crisp voice of Miss Jennings.

The door swung open, and in came a boy of around a bout 17. he was wearing a black t-shirt that had the band - Linkin Park printed on the front. The top highlighted his fine cheek bones, and dark brown eyes. He had well, toned muscled arms, that weren't over the top, and he had ash blond hair, that seemed to glisten under the lamp light of the room.

"Ah everyone, this is Zale Redfern. He has just transferred from America, so I hope that you all make him feel welcome at or lovely school. There's a spare seat and desk over there by Nessa. Zale looked towards her, and smiled slightly. She found that she couldn't help but smile at him.

Nessa had heard Zale's name somewhere before. Like a tidal wave, it came to her. Zale Redfern was rumored to be even more notorious than Quinn himself, and was related to some bigwig of the Night World Council, called Stephan Redfern, one of the most feared Nightworld Lords in the world. He was over five hundred years old.

+What on earth could someone like him be doing in a posh dump like this? Daddy darling must want him to get the most expensive education available+ Nessa thought to herself, but making sure that her walls were up protecting them from other prying minds.

"Hey, erm I was wondering if you could like show me the ropes with the school and all. It's just that I haven't got a clue with wear to go and stuff." He asked coolly. He knew she was a Nightworlder, but wasn't going to mention it before she did. Anyway, he thought she was cute.

"Yeah sure that wouldn't be a problem. What subjects are you taking?" she looked over his shoulder to his time table. She tried to act as cool as possible, trying not to show that she knew who he was. They were the only two nightworlders in the whole school. "You seem to have all the subjects that I'm taking so that's even better!"

The bell rang for the end of the lesson, and for the beginning of lunch. Zale couldn't help but break his mentioning the nightworlder issue, "erm Nessa? Are we like the only nightworlders in this school?
