This chapter is just something to fill in the gaps. It was going to be longer but I couldn't be bothered writing more. Guess what, IT'S SNOWING! And I get off school. Not that my school's shut, I'm just off as it's really bad in Kirkcaldy.
Ok, wow. I updated on Tuesday, its Thursday now and I've all ready got my three reviews. I feel so loofed. Can I just say, you people like the weirdest couples and people. You hate my favourites! But the main couple in the Story has to be Moira and Elsu (which I know of which wiccan-gal is fond of). Well, their not a couple and I'm STILL not sure if I will make them one. But I suppose it is the relationship between them. The hard part is that there are 4 couples (if you count Darren and Erimentha) and 3 of them are always together. It's really hard to write about Ebony and Ryker as, well, I don't know why.
But I have an announcement to make. An important one if you like this story. There is going to be… (Drum roll)… (A drum stick breaks) shit! Anyway, there is going to be a sequel of Blood of the New! See, now you're all happy.
Wiccan-gal: I loof Erimentha. She's like, my favourite! Kind of. I'm not sure. As the story goes on I like Ebony best because she kicks ass. But Erimentha gets really cool in the sequel.
Nofurylikewiccanscorn: I know. But I'm sorry, no explosions. But a hell of a lot more things happen. Oh and for the future. Puppy dog eyes don't work. And do you know what's weird. I had a dream about you. Not that I know what you look like or who you are. Weird. Anyway, what happened was that you were thinking of discontinuing Back to the Beginning, and me and Mrfibblesownsyoursoul went to look for you to ask why and it was because you were hanging out a window. Odd I know.
Bradhadair: Thank you, you actually seem to like Erimentha. I'm glad. I'm sorry about Ebony and Ryker! (Starts to cower) Don't hit me! How can you not like Hope and Gideon! They are my favourite people. And always will be. Through the sequel and…ah wasn't supposed to say that. Ah well, you'll find out sooner or later. And you keep saying Loof. I loof you for that. Have you started making your friends say it? You should.

Gideon looked down at the girl lying in his arms. Last night had been amazing, for both of them, he hoped. They had fallen asleep like this. Gideon wished they didn't have to get up, live in the world. He wanted them to stay like this forever.
He kissed Hope's bare shoulder that was just hovering out of the silk, red sheets. Her eyes fluttered open and a smile appeared on her face as she seemed to recall the pleasant events that last night held.
"Hey,"
"Hey," she said, voice almost a whisper. She turned around to face him, drew her hands into her and pressed her head against his naked chest, all without leaving his arms.
"How do you feel?" he asked, implying about the bruise on her neck. He laughed as he thought that one of his friends would say that it's a love bite.
"Different, but in a good way," She smiled as she said that. She knew he was talking about her neck, but it was important to her at the moment. Gideon also smiled and leaned his head against hers.
"Hmm, what time is it?" She asked, realising eventually they should get up out of bed and enter the real world.
"Don't know, my watch was taken off pretty much like our clothes." She laughed slightly.
"So it's on the floor then?" She enquired. He nodded and she could see him smiling at something else.
"Or on the ceiling." She gave him an odd look before turning her focus to the roof. She looked for a second, cringed and buried her face in his torso. Up on the ceiling, hanging from her light, was her bra. She could hear him laughing at her embarrassment and stroked her hair.
"If it makes things any better, I think you have really good taste." He whispered, his laughter still detectible. She groaned and slapped his arm playfully. She wriggled out of his grip around her and managed to get to the edge of the bed. She sat up straight looking at the floor, most likely for her clothes.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked before taking her hand and pulling her back into bed. As she fell in, their lips met and pressed against each other with force.
"Well, I was going to get dressed, but you make such a darn good argument not to." She said, leaning in for another kiss. But she heard Kira calling from downstairs.
"Hope, Gideon, get your asses downstairs!" They both looked at the door, grateful she was calling them and not coming in.
"Unfortunately, she makes a better one," he said before they both got out of bed reluctantly, and got changed into their clothes.

Elsu sat with his spoon dangling over his cereal bowl. He sat alone at the breakfast table while Moira, Ryker and Ebony watched some TV programme on the couch. Kira had called for Gideon and Hope a few minutes ago and had gone down to the circle room.
He watched as Moira threw her head back I laughter at something a cartoon had done. She was so different to Clare. Clare had been so serious all the time. Moira could be deadly serious, if she wanted, but usually just was a laugh. He thought about how awkward it was last night. He knew that they were lost in their own thoughts, but, truth be known, he didn't know what he had thought about. Now, he wondered what would have happened if they had got together instead of him and Clare. Would they have lasted this long?
But, she never felt that way about him. He still had feelings for her. They were clearer now that Clare wasn't a part of his life anymore. Maybe, last night, he had stayed silent because he was available and his feelings for Moira were beginning to arise again. But he didn't know. He still felt a lot of pain over his break-up with Clare. He had really loved her, but it wasn't good enough for her. She said it wasn't working out between them. What she meant to say was that she was in love with someone else. It killed him to know it was over, but there was no use trying to hold onto something that was longer there. He had learned that last night. They had almost died, especially Ebony. He didn't know what he would do if they had lost her, any of them.
Gideon and Hope walked down the stairs, hand in hand. Smiles were plastered all over their faces. Hope sat on the sofa and Gideon walked into the kitchen were Elsu sat. Ryker followed closely behind.
"So, Gideon. Did you use protection?" Elsu asked. Ryker try to stifle a laugh but failed miserably. Elsu spun on his chair to see his reaction. Gideon was laughing as well.
"Is that any of your business?" He asked, not giving away the answer, although he knew his friends already knew it.
"It's all of our business. We're your friends." Ryker said after his had stopped laughing. Gideon just raised an eyebrow to imply the answer. "Nice." Elsu turned to Ryker.
"How is Ebony doing?" Elsu asked. The three boys looked at her.
"She's so much better than yesterday. Kira helped a lot. And I think we all have some super healing or something as well so that aided too." They stood silently for a minute. Then, at the exact same moment. They all moved to where the three girls sat. Ryker sat in the middle, between Ebony and Moira and Elsu and Gideon sat on the other two chairs.
"So, what are we going to do today?" asked Ryker, trying to break the silence that had fallen between the friends.
"Could go to Port's edge?" Moira suggested. Hope sighed and rolled her eyes playfully.
"Do you guys do anything else?" She asked. All shock their heads.
"What else could be do, its Ireland (no offence to Irish)," Elsu stated. Hope made a mock thoughtful face.
"You could stay here," she suggested. Kira, who had just caught the last bit of the conversation, walked though carrying a broom and a bucket.
"If you're going to stay here, you can help clean up the circle room," At that, the six teenagers stood, reached for their jackets and headed off to Port's edge, without a word. Kira prided herself that was the shortest amount of time she had managed to make them leave this house. She reached for her cell phone and pressed a number on speed dial. After three rings the other end picked up.
"Yes?"
"Their gone," she stated.
"Good, get the next part going," The voice on the other end of the phone ordered.
"Yes," she said and hung up. On the other end, a man smiled to himself.
"Send her out!" He demanded to his minions. They all scuttled out the door to start the next stage of the plan. It's all coming together now.
A/N I just thought of a twist in the story and thought I would add it. If you liked Kira, you made a bad choice. Anyway, you know the rest, 3 reviews and you get your story.
