Pandie Katteken: Writer's Block, eh? Well, the only thing I can say is to rest your writing hand. That's the only thing that'll help get rid of Writer's Block. Do you write your stories down on paper, or do you type them straight from your head and onto the computer? If you type them out, that'll help prevent Writer's Block, at least I haven't got it any more. Hurts less that way. I'll read those stories after I've done my art stuff; my 'Still Life' is getting marked soon. ;) Thanks for the review.
Sweettooth: Read the last chapter of 'The Dark Prince' and you'll see how Deven ended up with a soulmate. Glad you liked that part about Rashel being reluctant to be changed into a vampire. I'll try to make this story funny throughout. Thanks for reviewing. Ah, enjoy your youthfulness while you still have it, young Grasshopper. More fun. ;)
Thea101: I have told you, and told you. If you need any help just ask, I won't yell at you. Yup, I'd love a car too, I can drive an automatic but I don't have my own car. Dammit! I don't even have a licence. Thank you for the review. ;)
Jezel Blackwind: Grazie Signora. I'll add extra Ash and Oren…and Mary-Lynnette in the next chapter. ;)
Spikes-gal787: Parents yell at me too, but only because I'm the middle child. Well I have a lot of free time on my hands, none of my friends live near me, and so I have nothing better to do. I just write, the only way to get rid of the boredom. Thanks for reviewing. ;)
These last three were supposed to be on chapter two, but I got them when I uploaded the last one.
Castra: I'll spare you the torture and not put an Ash and Mary-Lynnette sex scene in here. But I'm still debating which soulmate couple deserve a sex scene. Thank you for reviewing. ;)
Leiska: Hi honey. I know you love my stories. When are you gonna put your HP fic up? Let me know when you do? Thank you for reviewing. ;)
Sharmeen: Sorry for being repetitive. I just wanted to point out that all the kids were the same age. I'll try to put romance into this fic, but I'm not good at romance. I'll try, but…anyways. I'll put a little sex scene in the next chapter. Glad you love this fic. Thanks for reviewing. ;)
Part 3: Soulmate.
The next day, Nuria wakes up and gets dressed for school. She puts on a pair of faded jeans that look as though they've never been washed, a black top that says "In case of emergency, place hands here." With a pair of white handprints on her breasts. She puts on a pair of sandy coloured suede DM boots. Nuria runs her brush through her hair, ties it back with a black band with a black iris attached to it. Around her neck, she puts on a silver chain with a black dahlia, and her black foxglove ring on her right middle finger. In her ears she wears three pairs of emerald earrings.
She goes down the stairs and out the front door; putting on her black leather biker jacket that Harley bought her for her birthday. She walks to the huge garage and comes to a stop in front of her Ferrari.
"You're not supposed to be driving that thing until you've passed your tests." A deep voice beside her says. Nuria yelps, and whirls around coming face to face with Murphy, who's casually leaning against his and River's silver convertible.
"Murphy you jerk!" Nuria hisses. "Are you trying to give me heart failure?"
Murphy laughs. "Sorry Nuria. I just saw you out here on your own and I couldn't resist."
"Yeah well, would you please warn me next time you're going to scare the crap out of me?" Nuria demands.
"Maybe." Murphy replies, raising an eyebrow. He looks around the garage with his violet eyes.
"Where's River?" Nuria asks.
Murphy's gaze settles on Nuria before shrugging.
"Beats me. We're not identical you know, so most of the time I have no idea where he is."
"I did not know that you and River weren't identical. I really thought you were." Nuria says sarcastically.
"Sarcasm really doesn't suit you." He answers rolling his eyes.
"I thought it did." She replies, sticking out her tongue.
"You thought what did what?" River says, close to Nuria's ear.
Nuria yelps again and whirls round, giving River a slap on the arm.
"River! Don't do that!" Nuria scolds. "I just told your brother not to scare the crap outta me."
"She did?" River asks Murphy, talking over Nuria's head.
"She just told me to warn her the next time I plan on scaring her." Murphy shrugs. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a packet of cigarettes. He pulls one out, and sticks it into his mouth. Next he pulls out a gas lighter and lights the end of the cigarette, sucking in a breath and exhaling in a cloud of smoke.
"You're gonna give yourself cancer you know." Nuria says, frowning at the dissipating smoke.
"Yeah, so?" Murphy shrugs. "You're point being?"
"My point being…what does your parents think of that?" Nuria asks.
"Nothing. I'm old enough to smoke legally." He replies, shrugging again.
"I don't know how you can suck on a cancer stick, I really don't." Nuria replies.
"I don't either." River agrees. "And I live with him."
"So do I dumbass, or did you forget that we all live together in a mansion?" Nuria snaps.
"Hey I'm blond! What's your excuse? I'm allowed to be stupid." River snaps back.
"We could've told you that Riv." Melia laughs coming into the garage with the rest of Daybreak's kids.
"I agree with Melia." Chase says, shaking black hair out of his eyes. For a lion shapeshifter, Chase sure does have the wrong colouring.
The rest of the kids laugh at this. Chase may be quiet, but he can make people laugh when the situation calls for it.
"Come on children.' Harley starts. "Let's get the hell outta here before anyone comes out to see why we're still here."
"You're actually wanting to go to school?" Shaylee asks. "The boy who never stays in school the whole day?"
Harley walks over to his bike, a Harley Davidson no doubt, before turning around and answering Shaylee.
"I never said anything about going to school, I just suggested to get the hell outta here." Harley defends himself, swinging his leg over the bike and sits down. He gives Shaylee a wink before putting his helmet on, turning the bike on. He turns the throttle on speeds out the garage door.
"He's right. Let's go." Faylinn agrees, going over to hers and Melia's white Integra. She unlocks the car and climbs into the driver's side, she starts up the car and pulls out of the garage after Harley, just as Melia climbs in and closes the door.
All of the others go into their cars; Chase, Shaylee and Sarai in their red Lexus, Oren in his black Porsche, Sanura in her dark blue convertible, River and Murphy in their silver convertible, and Sari in her metallic blue Corvette.
Nuria is left on her own; she unlocks her Ferrari and is about to climb into the driver's seat, when someone speaks.
"Here, I'll drive you to school." Nuria turns round and notices that Nariko is standing beside the open car door. "I'll drive you in your Ferrari instead of my car. That way you won't get into trouble if the police stop us."
"Okay." Nuria scoots over to the passenger side and hands Nariko the car keys as soon as she slips into Nuria's vacated spot and starts the car.
* * * * * *
I am so bored, it's unbelievable. Nuria thinks, sitting with her hand on her crossed arms. I really hate chemistry.
The door opens and in walks a boy about Nuria's age, or a year older. He has soft black hair that Nuria's fingers itch to run through, pale blue eyes, tall, muscley. To describe him in one word would be…beautiful.
Who is that black haired Adonis? Nuria thinks, her head snapping up to get a better look at the stranger. I've never seen him around school before. New student?
"Class, this is Donar Redfern. He's a new pupil here. Donar? Why don't you go and sit over there by Nuria?' the teacher - Ms. Williams – suggests, pointing to the empty seat beside Nuria.
Oh Goddess! What am I going to do? What if he talks to me? What will I say?!? Nuria panics, eyeing Donar casually walking towards her. Okay, relax. Breathe Nuria, breathe. Just keep breathing and you'll be fine. That's it, calm yourself.
"Hi." Donar greets Nuria with a good imitation of the Cheshire cat, sitting right beside her.
"Hello." Nuria replies, her voice coming out in a squeak.
"Donar Redfern." He sticks out his hand.
"Nuria Neely." Nuria takes Donar's hand, but as soon as she does she instantly get 'electrocuted', so to speak.
Sparks fly up her arm, around her shoulders, down her other hand, down her spine, hips, legs and feet. Nuria is left wide-eyed at the sensation.
Instantly, she is pulled into Donar's mind. She sees things that would give a normal human nightmares for the rest of their natural life. But then again, Nuria isn't exactly a normal human. Oh, she is human…mostly, but she's also part vampire, part witch and part falcon shapeshifter.
*What the hell…* Nuria hears in her mind.
*Uh…Donar* she asks. *Is that you*
*Who were you expecting? Santa Claus* Donar snaps. *What the hell is going on Nuria? And don't lie to me, because I know you know what's going on*
*Soulmates* Nuria answers, before she can stop herself.
*What!!!!!* Donar snaps. *There's no such thing*
*Yes there is, you thick-headed male* Nuria snaps back. She gets sucked in even further, and sees all of the killings and massacres that Donar had done. She also finds out that Donar is nearly a thousand years old.
*Why are you in school if you're nearly a millennia old* Nuria asks weakly.
*I got bored* Donar snaps. *Do I need permission from you to do what I want*
*No* she replies, nearly in tears, from all of the horror that she's seen in Donar's mind.
*You're a half-breed? A stinking half-breed. I am soulmated to a HALF-BREED!* Donar yells. Nuria fumes at this statement and forcefully pulls herself back from Donar's mind, the move makes both her and Donar dizzy.
Nuria is left looking into cold pale blue eyes. Her own brown eyes fills with tears, before they have a chance to fall, Nuria gets up from her seat and runs from the classroom. Ms. Williams yelling after her.
Nuria doesn't stop until she's outside Nariko's Latin classroom.
*Nariko* Nuria pleads to her cousin.
*Nuria? What is it* Nariko asks, concern plain in her voice.
*I need help. I think I'm in trouble* Nuria replies.
*Where are you*
*Outside the door. Please come out* Nuria replies, the tears streaming down her face now.
The door opens a few minutes later, and Nuria throws herself into Nariko's arms.
"What's wrong?" Nariko asks.
"I've just found my soulmate." Nuria replies. Nariko is left looking at Nuria, completely speechless.

A/N: Oh, what's Nuria going to do now? Will Donar ever love Nuria? Find out in the next chapter of 'The Next Generation of Daybreak.' Reviews will be cherished and loved. Thanks. ;)
