Disclaimer I do not own any of Amelia At-water Rhodes characters Kaye is my own and that is all.

Chapter 2

All the way home she held the picture in her hand and thought about Chris. His eyes were mesmerizing, he has smiled at her all night, and he had been very curious. But why they hell had his picture not been developed? All the other kids had.

Maybe it was a problem with the lens yeah that's it, she though. When she got to her room she took a closer look at the picture with a magnifying glass she had found in an old science kit.

There were tiny wisps of what looked like smoke around the place where Chris had sat. So it just was the last picture and there for the only one to get ruined because we didn't have any more kids to take pictures of.

She stayed awake half the night thinking of "logical" reasons why the picture had not been developed. She thought of countless that were not logical and that made her laugh. The last one she thought of before falling asleep was that he was a vampire and there for unable to have his picture taken. "Just like Ms At-water Rhodes characters, Jaguar, Jessica, Riska, and Aubrey." She laughed at her self and fell asleep still dreaming of his face.

Some miles away Chris Jaguar sat in a bar drinking down a pint of whisky. He thought wistfully of the past few hours. The girl had been so kind and gentle, she had a beautiful smile.

"Awe look! Jaguar is love stricken once again." Riska sat down next to him on a stool and smirked.

"Awe look Riska is still wearing the hair of a tiger." He countered, not sounding anything but amused.

"Yes I still wear a tigers' hair, what's it to you?" she raised an eyes brow.

"Nothing at all Riska it is just a little different to see you with that hair. I suppose you still are upset at Aubrey for that?" He took a long swig of his whisky.

"No I beat the living Sh…"

"Careful Riska there are real ladies present."

She ignored his comment and opened a pack of cigarettes. She put one in her mouth and began searching for her lighter. Jaguar pulled out his lighter and held it lit for her. She lit the cigarette and took along drag on it, she let the smoke out in one huge puff.

"So who is it this time?" She sighed and waited.

"She is a human..."

"Big Surprise…."

"I don't know her name and she is a very intelligent girl for a human."

"Yes I'm sure she's just oh so accepting of our type of person as well."

"Well I'm pretty sure she might have an inkling that I'm a vampire but she is a human and they hate to think that something supernatural." He plucked the cigarette out of her mouth and took a long relaxing drag on it.

Because they were both vampires their lungs and throats healed instantly. Many Vampires drank, smoked, or did drugs, it was not like it would kill them, they were already dead.

"So what's your plan?" Riska inquired.

"Yes as a matter of fact I do, and I don't think she is going to be very accepting at all if you just start attacking her in an attempt to make her more like us.

"Would I do that to you?" she asked the very picture of innocence.

"Yes" they laughed and sat their widdling away the hours in the day drinking and smoking.

Kaye woke up with a start, I had the most horrible dream.
