And now on with the story (dramatic music plays)

As the weeks on Elle went out with Jake loads of times, in fact it became a nightly ritual for them to go out into the games hall. In truth they became as close as brother and sister. Their schedule would be like wakeup meet Jake for breakfast, get changed, fight, eat, fight some more, eat some more, then talk in either ones room until it was time for them to go to sleep. And pretty soon it was time for counsel to end.

"Oh Jake, I'm going to miss you so much!"

"Same here El, your going to have to write to me until next counsel..."

She hugged him and began to cry. She seemed to loose everyone she loved...at least that's how it felt.

"Oh come on El, please don't cry...Because then I'll cry and the guys will laugh at me...."

She wiped her eyes and smiled.

"Jake! Come on we're flitting home..." Said one of his friends.

"Bye Elle, I'll write and call you lots I promise..."

"Not necessary, bye..."

As he walked through one of the entrances, tears streamed down her face.

She walked back to her room to finish packing. As she started coming in she heard.

"Arra, wait, after all this is taken care of I promise that we'll get back together..."

"It's not that I don't support it because trust me, I do, but can't Elle and I come with you?"

"I will be distracted if you come, and I can't do this with Elle around..."

"Fine, I'll write you weekly at the cirque..."

"Love, I'm sorry things are like this..."

"It's alright...be good...and I love you..."

"I love you too Arra, bye..."

And with that Larten left he saw Elle and gave her a hug then said "Good bye..."

Shortly after they got home Elle saw this boy running around the block.

"Hmm, he looks cute...I hope he lives by us..."

(Elle's P.O.V.)

Today was a sad day, I found out that, that cute boy who I saw running (I found out from meeting and becoming very good friends with him that his name is Darren Shan) died.

His parents told me that he mysteriously fell out of his window...

Arra's not here to counsoul me either because Larten's Cirque is in town.

She's been over joyed, but is sad because he is leaving tonight. I really miss Darren. I remember the times that we used to run together, or the times that we'd play soccer with Steve Leopard or Leonard if you perfer.

I just can't believe he's gone, and yet I can't help but saying this, but what kind of a stupid idiot falls out of his window...

Annie thinks that he was sneaking out to come and see me (because I'm told that he fancied me...), which only makes me feel worse.

Like I'm responsible for his death...Everything is just so weird though... First Steve being hurt and almost dead, and now Darren's dead and Steve is perfectly well...

A few days later: It just doesn't seem right... today was Darren's funeral. The thought of his limp body lying in the casket, haunts my dreams.

And yet, I could have sworn that he was breathing... Annie agrees with me, but Steve just says that we need to accept the facts, and move on...

How could he be this heartless? I mean, his best friend just died, and he's telling us to get over it...

I hope that the years before Vampire Mountain pass by quickly, because now, more than ever, I need to talk to Jake...

I think I'll have him come in for the funeral, because I don't think I'll be able to go through this alone...

Later: Jake is here right now as we speak...

It is so good to be able to talk to him, and he'll be staying for quite a while too...

Arra was happy to see him when she woke up, and has already set up the guest room for him...

He says that I should dig him up and feed on him, but that's too heartless... Besides, that'll be too much work...

After the funeral: Something strange is going on, I could have sworn I saw Larten at the graveyard today...Because me and Jake stayed the pretty late because Arra wanted to maurn over him too...

She says she could've sworn she saw him too, but maybe we just miss him a lot...

A/N Guys, I'm not asking a lot, but please R&R!!! I don't care what I get as far as reviews go but Please! How'd you like it? And what do you think'll happen? Tell me in my review...
