It was a chili night, the sky was clear but dark there was few stars but the moon was bright. In the distains not far from were I was stood a tall crumbling building. I walked towards it and felt a sort of familiarity, IV got it its were the cirque du freak first played in my home town the time me and Steve went together. I now stood right out side wotching the surroundings, the people going in, but two people court my attention more than most, mainly because one of them was me, it was me and Steve. I followed them in amazed at wotching every think happening around me every word every detail of each and every little thing. I saw Mr. tall talking to me (younger me) and Steve then letting them past to see the show I decided to follow, going in it was the same apart from one thing or one person. It was evanna. The ugly witch was walking strata for me, not young me but me as I am now,

"Do you come here in your dreams often Darren" she asked as she came close to me.

"Evanna, how are you here" I asked puzzled. She lathed at me it sounded more like a cakal. But that is the witch's way.

"Im only checking up on you and vancha, some how you two always end up in trouble. I see you have some one new traveling with you." We walked to some seats and sat.

"Yes her name is meeker, meeker Leonard." I looked at her to see her reaction. But she didn't look at all bothered.

"I know, but I want to tell you this don't ask for any more information than what I tell you for I can't say much. Understand."

"Yes" I said and nodded.

"Very good." Evanna thort deeply then continued. "Meeker is not evil; she is half vampaneze but only just. Treat her right and she can be of great help, soon vancha will do for her what Paris skyle don for him. In time I will come to you agene and tell you more for now stay well." And that was it all she said then she tern't and walked away.

I stood up for moments thinking over what evanna had said to me, but before I new it I was wide awake steering in to a pear of green eyes. And they weren't harkets ether.

"Morning" meeker said

"Hi"

"well it would be nice if you move your arm so I can get up" meeker lathed just a little bit as I moved over, I had only just realized that I had my arm wrapped around her if anyone ells had seen us it would have looked prity incriminating.

"Sorry" I mumbled as I sat upright. I felt my checks heat up and wondered if anyone noticed.

"No worries, so haw are you lot for food or do I have to play mum and go do the shopping"

"I don't think vanch would like that, but anyway were running a little low" I smiled at meeker then started to fold the blanket I was using. Meeker didn't act as a prisoner she seemed to be able to fit in.

"Well he's still sleeping and your friend, umm; harket doesn't seem to like to talk to me IV spent the last half hour trying to make small talk." I looked around the room for the first time since wakening up and saw the little person sitting stitching up his clothing he must have ripped it fighting the vampets yesterday.

"Morning harket" I said aloud to him.

"Morning Darren……….what did evanna say……..I herd you say her name"

"I'll tell you later, me and meeker are going out for a bit"

"No" the little gye stated "she can't be trusted"

"Not what evanna said" that was sorter true. The witch did say that in silent words. I hope.

"Darren"

"Don't argue with me on this you wont be able to change my mined."

"You are hopeless sometimes………. Darren, I don't like it……… but when you have made up your mined……….I can't do anything……..to stop you."

"Thanks" I mumbled as I grabbed meekers hand and rushed out the cave before the little person could change his mined.

We were half way down the slimy tunnel when meeker broke the silence.

"So I gess you didn't just do that for the shopping, you want to know some thing so just ask" meeker stopped walking and just stood there looking at me. I can understand her suspicion. I do in faked want to no how Steve could have a sister, the last time I checked he was an only chilled.

"Well you guessed it but not down here" I smiled lightly "let's go get you something to wear and a cup of hot chocolate"

"Ok Darren Shan, lead the way" she held his arm out and pointed in thee direction of the tunnel exit.

We were on the top street now we got out without any one noticing us and continued walking, I may have been told in so many words to trust her but she's related to Steve so im going to be careful.

"We must look a right peer" I mumbled

"What do you mean" meeker asked me.

"Well, a scratched up teen walking with a gipsy" I stated, meeker lathed then pulled me in to a shop, oh great.

"Ok Shan dress, skirt or trousers" she asked holding out a wide ferity of clothing.

"Im not putting on any of that" I joked.

"Twit, for me"

"Trousers, we might do a lot of running" I walked round her to look at some men's clothing, not intending to get any of it.

"Ok, ummm these or them" I tern't around to look but accordantly walked strata in to her.

"Sorry" I grumbled stepping back

"It's ok" she said politely.

"The blue ones" I picked up the jeans she was holding. "And that top" I pointed to a near bye rack and she picked up the top, it was blue also.

"Ok meet me out side" she said, I looked strata at her no way am I falling for that. "I won't run promise"

"No" I said firmly

"fine, if that's the way you want it" she tern't and walked to a changing room, pushed open the door pulled me in and she came in strata after. Then the door closed and I realized that she ment meet her out side the changing room, crap.

"Sorry, I didn't know you ment this" I went to go out the door.

"Too late." Meeker giggled

"Meeker im so sorry" I apologized.

"Ok, you no what I can't whate to see the looks on the peoples faces when we walk out together" I didn't tern around and look, I just stayed and whated kicking myself for being so stupid. meeker was right thow we did get some funny looks when we came out, meeker was lathing so hard she looked like she was gonna burst.

We walked out the store we had brought what we needed, of witch meeker was wearing now and we werefinaly sitting on a wall with a cup of coffee in foam cups. Its now or never to ask meeker about everything. So here go's.

"Im his half sister" meeker said I didn't even ask her any think she just said it. "His dads side, im younger then Steve, younger then you. Im 20 now that would make you about 28" she stopped and tock a drink from her cup "we met at a party; I was with a gye called Tommy Steve new him."

"How old were you" I asked.

"18, so you know IV only just been blooded, have been for about two weeks now. Steve blooded me him self said I had Leonard blood he didn't want it tainted. I haven feed yet I don't want to kill." She was silent a moment looking about then finally said "Darren can I do something." She tern't around to face me we were looking striate at each other.

"Yeah" I whispered quietly.

Meeker lent over to me we were so close I could feel her breathing, then she kissed me, just like that she kissed me, not hared it was more like a feather on your lips. Smove and peaceful. Then it was gone

"Thank you" she jumped of the wall, I did to then stood a moment tacking in what just happened. "We should get back, your wield friend will get mad"

We walked in silence once agene slowly but shortly making are way to were the street tunnel was. I don't know if it was just me but I think im falling for her. I need to speak to evanna. But first sort that out with vancha.

Thanks for reading threes more post some think you would like to happen between meeker and Darren, im stuck for ideas. Thanks agene. Oh and in the next chapter Steves back.
