A/N I love all of the reviews; I was like whoa, what was that? Five reviews? Holy Cow! I don't think I ever got that many for one chapter…

Fear The Walls Of Jericho: I'm so glad that you liked it…and I am totally fine with you not reviewing the last chapter until now…

Emikae: aw you got drunk? Sounds fun, all I did on Valentines Day was sulk about not having a valentine (on account of me being too damn shy to even ask him out), and make a heart shaped meatloaf.

Casadarn: aw how sweet a new reviewer, I hope you go on to keep on reading.

BtyQn407: aw, you flatter me…ill keep writing, as long as I get the time…

Last time

"Hey kid, it looks like you've been fighting…"

"I did, last night."

"Oh, well in that case walk over there and lie down."

I did as I was told, and soon enough the examiner was looking at my body.

He dumped bits of donated spit onto my cuts. There were many on my head. I was done but he asked me to donate so blood. I told him that since I was only a half vampire it'd do nothing for any of the others. He nodded but took out a needle and vile and took some of my blood anyways.

After a bit of time had passed, he took out the needle. And looked at the vile and said to me,

"Miss. Sails, do you know what the purge is?"

And now on with the story…

"Why no, never heard of it before…would you mind explaining it to me…"

"Okay, its when basically you finally start to get older, and go through puberty…"

"Oh shit, that is so not cool, so what does this have to do with …"

"Well, I suggest that you stay here for the next weeks until it passes, because you'll be very sensitive to light…"

"Well it's pretty dark in here to begin with, no sunlight or anything…"

"Yes, but even the slightest light will burn your eyes, like for some it has an effect with the moon light…"

"Oh wow, alright I'll stay. Can you tell Arra for me?"

"Sure, well you should get some rest, the purge shouldn't be happening until sunup, so just get some rest while you still can…"

I lied down on the rock hard cot; the medic came by and closed the door. Apparently it was a coffin.

I began to panic, what if I ran out of air? What if I was just left in here and forgotten, until I died. I couldn't sleep, I was just too worried. So I began scratching and clawing at the coffin door. The medic heard me and walked over.

He lifted the lid and said

"Yes?"

"Can I die in this thing? Will I suffocate? Or will I just be forgotten?"

"No, first of all I don't think you can die in there, you won't suffocate because there are air holes, and I won't forget about you because you will be checked on every few hours…"

"Alright, well thank you"

"No problem, alright well goodnight."

After that I slept pretty soundly, in fact, I probably got about 15 hours of sleep. It was very nice, but when I woke up around 10:30 that night, boy was I in for a shock.

I knocked on my coffin door, and the medic came along and opened it. He looked at me and gapped.

"What!" I snapped at him angrily.

He walked away and brought back with him a mirror.

I shrieked with horror at my face, my eyebrows had grown tremendously, and my face was now covered with pimples.

I began to cry, and sigh with anguish at my horrifying face.

"It's not as bad as you think…"

"Right, sure, like everyone in the vampire wakes up at night, and one day gets tons of facial hair, and zits bigger than the English channel."

He laughed, and said to me,

"Anyways, you have a visitor."

"WHAT! Who is it anyways?"

"Some guy by the name of Jake Harrison…"

"Oh dear god no, I can't talk to him now, I'm a wreck…"

"Well he says it's urgent, so I have already let him in, he's waiting outside of your door…"

"I swear to god when he leaves, your toast…You're so lucky, that he's my boyfriend and that he doesn't care what I look like…"

He chuckled, and then brought Jake in…

"Hi Jake…"

He was too busy to look up, because he was looking at a series of papers.

"Oh hi el, well I filed a bunch of papers in order for us to legally become mates…"

"That's great Jake…Uh; well it was nice seeing you…"

"Wait a minute; I want to see my, future mate…"

He grabbed my waist, and flung me around to give me a kiss, but then he saw my face, and dropped me in shock…

"Elle! What happened to your face? It looks horrid…"

I snarled at him nastily, and decided that he had to know…

"Jake, I'm going through the purge, and I'm sorry I look so hideous…"

I began to cry "Ah yes, I can see it now, mood swings, pimples, hair growth, breast growth as I've just observed, yes definitely the purge."

I slapped him for commenting about my breasts, then climbed into my coffin and closed the door on the face…He sat on it, and then he began to talk,

"Elle, I don't think we'll work out, even though I do like you a lot, I still think that this is all too awkward. I mean, honestly, to be honest with you, when I would usually see a woman with breasts that big I would be-"

"Okay Jake I don't want to hear it, I'm sorry I don't give you the same feeling, and honestly while I'm still here in this box, your kisses never gave me any feelings, other than hurt that is, because you're just too rough. That's part of the reason why I came here in the first place, to get something to subside the pain of being roughly shoved into a wall that's made of hard cave stone none the less…"

"Well sorry about that, but, El, now that I've given you the puberty talk, I feel more like an older brother than a boyfriend, I mean don't get me wrong, I think your really hot, but honestly I feel like you're my little sister Evelyn…"

"Jake, you never told me that you have a little sister. Why?"

"Because, it's not important…Listen you get some rest, and shave, and I'll be back later on around one am and bring you some bat broth…by el. Oh, and just to let you know, Darren's going through the trials of initiation, so yeah, I hope that you got to say good bye to this sucker, because I think that he's not going to make it…"

"Oh my god, Jake, bring him back here in an hour or so, I need to see him…"

"Fine, I'll try and get him out of training…"

"Thank you, bye Jake…"

Jake left with a small wave, and a slight smirk at the fact that she was all hairy…

Elle ran to the showers, and immediately began to shave, then she went back to the hospital to take pluck her eyebrows, then she put on the comfiest set of black that she could find, and then she sat on a chair, and tried to put on some foundation, it worked, not long after all of that Darren came in.

"Hey el, how are you feeling?"

"Alright, I just have a bad cold; and some horrible rash…"

"Aw, well Jake said that you wanted to talk, this has to be quick el, I have to go to that damned fire trial in about five minutes, would you like to walk with me?"

"Sure"

They walked out and continued talking…

"So how are things with you and Jake?"

"Actually we just broke up."

"Oh well, that sucks, I'm really sorry…"

"Don't be, we both just found it all too awkward."

"Oh I see, well I just wanted to let you know that I think that I like-hey wait, why were you really in the hospital? You can have a cold, you're not even sneezing…"

"Oh well, uh, Dayquil?"

"Nice try Elle, but I don't think that that is a correct statement, try again…"

"I well, I err…"

"Just say it Elle, its not like I'll laugh at you or anything…"

'Okay just think Elle, uh, what's the one thing that any girl can say to get a guy to stop bugging her?"

Then it hit her,

"Darren, I just got my period. So, uh that's what is wrong with me."

Darren's face turned a bright shade of rose. He looked oddly uncomfortable, poor guy, but I couldn't tell him that I was becoming a vampire then, I'd have to explain everything, there isn't time for that, considering that he has to go into a room filled with flames, and try not to get burnt to a crisp…

Wait, WHAT? Oh my vampire gods, I hope he is going to be okay. I began to sweat profusely, worrying for the man I love's life.

"Darren, I just uh wanted to say that I love you. I never hated you, I loved you and regretted every word that came out of my mouth that day…I still do, will you be my mate, if you come out of that room alive, I swear to all of the vampire gods, that I will be your mate forever and always…"

A smirk sprouted upon his face, he looked like a smug little boy that had just eaten the lollipop that his mother said he wasn't allowed to.

I stood there and panicked.

Then he tilted his head and connected his lips with mine. The kiss was mesmerizing. We stood there, disconnecting every few minutes, to gasp for breath.

Then on we'd go, sucking and massaging each other's tongues. It was an exciting moment.

And even though I had acne it was probably the most romantic moment in my life. Considering that we never had this much passion in our kisses before.

Then finally, we disconnected for good, and as we walked on to his challenge I said to him.

"So, I take that as a yes?"

"A definite yes…"

I smiled broadly, and as he walked into "the room of fire" as we called it.

And as he walked into it he shot me one last smirk. If he survived, he knew that he be my mate, so let's just say, he'd be having a very busy night…

A/N I hope you all enjoyed it, I did, I think this may be one of my best chapters yet. I guess I should write when I'm in a good mood more often. Maybe it's because today I finally developed my self confidence. And if all works out my way tomorrow, than I promise you all a new chapter tomorrow in both the new story that I haven't posted yet, and in the Lily and James one. So night all because in my time zone it is 10:26 at night.

Love you all,

Ashley
