Disclaimer: I do not own Christopher, Nikolas Sarah, or Nissa. I wish I did because that would be so kewl and I would actually make some new friends.

A thanks is in order to H. (the only person to review). I needed that bit of encouragement and it made me write the next chapter.


First morning. First memory.

The next morning Christopher's head was killing him as if he was hit by a train. Considering he was a vampire his head will seem better later in the day. He then got up to see how Nissa was doing sleeping in the "spider infested" room.

When Christopher opened the door he had found Nissa sleeping in the cornor clinging to her shoe. It was quite funny seeing her like that because she usually presented herself as a fealess being. It would could to see she still kept her human fears after her change. He then walked closer to her to wake her up. It was 7a.m. and he didn't wasnt them to be late going to school.

"Nissa. Nissa," said Christopher as he was gently shaking her arm to see if she would get out of her 8 hour dream coma.

"Huh? What...another 5 minutes...mom..." said Nissa as she shifted in the cornor still clenching the shoe.

He walked out of the room and soon returned but not empty handed. He had a pan and a pot lid in his grip. He had wandered through the kitchen of something that could help her wake from the coma. Christopher also had a pot on his head to shield him from any blows to the head.

Bang! Clang! Crash! Boom!

It had sounded like a marching band was marching throughout the apartment. Then all of a sudden Nissa jumped sky high leaving her shoes behind. She was stuck on the ceiling and started yelling at Christopher.

"What the hell were you thinking? Don't ever scare me like that! If I wasn't stuck up here I would hit you. You so deserve it. Wait until I get down from here!" She said as her body swayed back and forth.

"Nissa I don't think nagging at me is going to get you down any faster. Now if you promise not to hurt me in anyway I will get you down."

"No! Ugh. Why must I have you as a brother. You are so childish. Now get me down from here I have to go to the bathroom really bad."

"Okay if you want it that way then I will see you when I get home from school. You should be safe up there and not get into any trouble," Christopher said as he walked out of the room.

"NO! Please come back. I mean it I really have to go to the bathroom. I won't hit you I swear on a red rose!" Nissa said as she pleaded and kicked trying not to think about the fact that she may soil herself.

"On a red rose? Okay I know when you are serious."

He let her down and the first thing she did was dart past him into the bathroom.

Wow...she must have really needed to go. Maybe just maybe if she didn't go to the bathroom a lot she can try out for the track team.

"I heard that and I don't think that is very funny!"


Christopher and Nissa had got ready and went off to school. Dressing and acting the way they had both been feeling.

Nissa had been wearing a long black trench coat over a blood red V-neck t-shirt. She was also wearing her favorite black mini-skirt and blood red laced up heels. She thought the outfit wasn't to girly and wasn't to out of the ordinary. Nissa was a beautiful girl and she knew that she had to show the world.

Christopher's outfit was an outfit only he could ever pull off. He had ona velvet blue long sleeved shirt and it was form fitting along with looses black slacks. And to top off his attire he had black leather dress shoes. Nissa had picked out his outfit because, even though it was her brother, she knew he had a great appearance.

They both felt very confident and knew that once they got to school everyone would want to know who they were.

Thier first stop was to the attendence office to make sure all the paper work was filled out. "Everything is fine here. You can go to your homeroom and get the rest of your papers there. Have a nice day and I hope you enjoy our facilities," said a chubby blonde sitting behind a desk.

"Well that wasn't that hard," said Nissa trying to find their class.

"Nis, Nis...why did you lie and say that you were in my grade? I thought you would want to get out of here earlier then me," said Christopher a little confused.

"We are a team brother. Plus it is a new place and I don't want you to get into the wrong crowd."

"Nissa. You shouldn't be talking like that. I only got into a bad crowd when we were with Nikolas. I don't think I would like to do that again and half to leave yet another place."

They both stayed silent for a bit until Nissa saw the room number and opened the door.


Christopher and Nissa walked into the crowded classroom and found who they thought was the teacher.

"Ah...you must be Christopher and Nissa Ravena. Welcome to a class, I have some papers for you to have," said the skinny, plae teacher with dark black hair.

They had both sensed that the teacher was a vampire and they heard her think, you are a vampire as well...heh...beware there aren't many of us here that are so kind. Welcome and I hope you both don't get hurt.

Nissa thought for the both of them, we won't and if we get into trouble we know how to take care of ourselves so no need to worry.

She took the papers and gave Christopher his schedule. They found seats in the back right corner of the room and discussed their itineraries.

We have all the same classes, except for Drama and Art IV.

We have some luck on our side Nissa.


The bell rang and everyone left the class in such a hurry that the desks were scattered. Christopher were off to thier classes one by one and bell by bell. They had the same schedule up until 8th periond. Christopher and Nissa went thier different ways,he wentto Art IV and she went to Drama. That is when he saw her in his mind.

"You know I can't survive and hunt the same way you do. Even if I could, I don't like to be dependent. Give me some time to find my own way to live. I don't hate you, Kristopher. I don't hate you or your brother. I'll miss you, Kristopher, but I can't stay here. For now at least."

Her words were still ringing in his head and he felt tears make their way to his eyes. Only one hit the paper that was infront of him. The paper had a few drawings that he had made during the flashback. It had roses drawn around the edges of the paper one flowed into another and in the middles was a figure of a girl, no face and no specific features, just an outline.

Sarah.

The bell had rang and he snapped out of his daze. Christopher had got up and met Nissa outside the building.

"So Christopher how was art? Did you do anything creative. You know hom much I love to look at your works or art. They are always so beautiful and descriptive," said Nissa eagerly.

"No..." he said trying to hide the sorrow he had from the flashback, "how was Drama? Did you start any storied or plays?"

"Nah...just sat there and watched a movie."

As they were walking home, Nissa looked at her brother and couldn't help noticing his eyes were a grayish black then his normal black color. She whispered under her breath, "he must be thinking about Sarah."

"Did you say something Niss?"

"No..."

Christopher and Nissa finally got home to their one bedroom apartment and felt at ease. Nissa went right to the bedroom to see if the mattress had been set up. Christopher just layed down on the ratty, old couch anddrifted into a shallow sleep.

Nissa walked out of theroom and saw him sleeping. She put a blanket over him and said to herself,"poorthing. I hope he gets better soon and doesn't get depressed even more thenbefore."
