A/N Thank you all for reviewing....

RiRiana- I completely understand what your saying about Arra and Larten being mates, I don't have any of the books, and my librarian won't let me use the books anymore on account of my habit of "hogging them" So I'm honestly sorry for the inaccuracy ...but you will have to wait on the whole "vampires can't have kids" thing.... I promise to answer that like a couple of chapters away from now when you find out what actually happened to Elle's parents.... So if you were wondering, yes Elle's parents were vampires...but your just going to have to wait a few days for that to be typed.

SPUNKY894- hey heather, thank you for the review.... and once again sorry about the length on chapter one...

Emikae- thank you for reviewing, the story will get loads longer, I have about 23 chapters written out on loose- leaf paper, and I'm still going strong...

Adrew-needs-to-write- Thank you for the review Ann Marie, and everyone already knows that you're insane....

If you all were wondering, I didn't review my own story...my sister was using my account because she's too lazy to make her own...now back to the story....

When she got inside she shrieked with delight, both Arra and Larten shushed her, and she became instantly quiet. But her jaw stayed dropped in amazement as they led her into the hall of Khledon Lurt. They sat down next to their old tutor Seba Nile. They talked happily of the good old days, for many hours. When Seba decided to call it a night the others decided to stay and party. (They were the last group to arrive so it's the welcoming ceremony/party) Larten decided to go off with a friend of his named Gavner, while Arra decided to head over to the bar. After a few drinks Arra became drowsy, and decided to go back to her room. She asked Elle if she would like to join her, but Elle wanted to get a better feel of the party life (she's only thirteen so she's never been to any parties like this before.

She sat down on a bar stool and ordered the fist alcoholic beverage that popped into her head. Hmm, I've always wanted to try a brandy... she thought to herself. Her ordered a large mug of brandy. She took a large gulp and made a face. The bartender laughed at her expression, then said, "Keep on drinking, it'll get better as you go on..." She shrugged and then went on drinking. He was right... it did get better as you drank on. In fact it was so good that once she finished she ordered another. When she finished that one she felt as though she would puke at any time.

But she still wasn't ready to call it a day, so she looked around and saw people dancing. She walked over to the dance floor and noticed a boy with blue spiky hair. And because she had some impaired judgment (due to her two large mugs of brandy...) she walked right up to him and kissed him right, square in between the eyes. He blushed, and asked her to dance. She agreed, and began to dance. She didn't feel well at all.

She laid her head on his shoulder and asked, "What's you name?" He looked down at her head and blushed, then said "Jake Harrison..." She looks like she'll be sick at any time. Oh I hope she doesn't get sick on me... Jake thought to himself.

"Well Jake I don't feel very well, can we please go somewhere else, all the motion is making me sick to my stomach" He nodded, then all of a sudden she was throwing up next to him. "Whoa! Are you okay?" She looked at him and said with very blushed cheeks "I'm fine...now let's go somewhere..."

He shrugged, and then led her away. He said, "So what do you want to do?" "Well, this is my first time here what do you do here?" she asked. "You can fight...." He was going to say something else but didn't get the chance because she stopped him in the middle of his sentence.

"Let's fight!" She was taken to the sports hall. He grabbed her hand once they got in there, and led to her to an open arena of Bars. He saw Vanez watching them out of the corner as to be saying, "I know that girl somehow, and don't you dare hurt her!"

He picked his weapon, a club, and she chose hers, a mace. He helped her onto the bars, and asked her "What's you name?" "Elle, now how do you do this?" she asked still looking sick. "WHAT?!? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO FIGHT?" She shook her head. He shrugged and said "You'll learn soon enough..." he said with an evil grin.

On his first hit, he hit her right in the stomach. She instantly fell through the spaces, and threw up. The game was over, and she was also lying unconscious on the floor (she hit her head on the stone floor below when she fell...)

Almost coincidently, Larten Crepesly walked into the room, just as a crowd was starting to form around her. He walked over to it to see what all the commotion was about. When he squeezed his way to the front, he realized that it was Elle!

"Holy Shit! I'll go and bring her to Arra!" He picked her up, and held her in his arms for a moment just looking at the damage... "Poor thing..." he said under his breath, as he ran out of the room with her.
