Chapter Two: Sam

What the heck am I doing?

OK, yeah, I know what I'm doing. I'm kissing Magnus. And I don't know why. I mean, Magnus and I were together, but that was a long, long time ago. Well, a year. Before we met Faith.

For a moment, though, the kiss was held. It was unlike a kiss that Magnus and Faith shared. I'd seen them kiss, though they didn't know I was watching. He kisses her back. That was the big difference.

Well, Magnus was kissing me back, but it was... empty. I mean, we're over, but we'll always be so close... help each other.

But man, this kiss was going to set up new problems.

Quickly, we broke apart at the same time, staring at each other, eyes wide.

"Charity-"

"Magnus-"

I looked down and put a hand in my red hair. "What did we do?"

"I think we know what we did," Magnus said, "The question is, why?"

"I kissed you, it's not your fault," I muttered, "I don't know what I was doing, an impulse, I-"

"Charity," Magnus whispered, taking my hands in his. "We have to realize that we had a past together. and we can't erase it..."

I shook my head. "No, we can't."

He shook his head. "I'm sorry I'm putting you through all this trama..."

I smiled at him. "Don't worry. It's you who's really having the hard time. You love Faith."

Magnus smiled. "I do."

"Then show her."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The music that was coming in my headphones barely mattered to me. I sat on my small bed, just all alone. Normally, Faith would be over. My only friend. After I was turned, it just... faded. My boyfriend turned from a human to Magnus. I went from me a school sports star to a freaky Goth chick.

That's when it came.

Rat tat tat.

Tata tata tat.

Ping ping ping.

My head jerked around to look toward the window. A gruesome looking bat was tapping at the window. I expected sapphire blue eyes, but saw greenish grayish ones. That was weird.

I opened my window, and the bat landed on my floor and began to change. I winced. The changes are very painful at times.

A guy stood in front of me, around eighteen(well, loking that way, he was obviously a vampire) a year older than I was when I was turned. Actually, he was pretty cute. Not nearly as hot as Magnus, no one is, but he was an eight out of ten. Tall, a bit shorter than Magnus, pale(duh) with straw colored hair. An all american look I normally don't go for.

He and Magnus were very different, lookwise. Magnus comes by looking like the seductive bad boy, this guy looked-dare I say it- huggable. Magnus was way hotter, but this guy was not bad looking in the least.

He just stared, taking my appearance in. I placed my hands on my hips. Mr. All American can't just scope me out like that.

"What?" I asked, "Cat got your tongue? You look like you've never seen another vampire before."

"I- I haven't," He stuttered. I arched my eyebrows.

"Oh, newly turned? What's your name?"

"Sam."

I reached out and shook his hand, digging my fingernails into his palms, just to be mean. "Hey, I'm Charity. Been in Club Undead for six years."

"Club Undead?"
I stared at him. "Um, it was a joke. What're you doing at my place anyway?"

"Wow," Was all Sam said. "They are real! I was a bat!"

"Duh," I said, taking my headphones out and swishing my hair, just to tempt the newbie.

"I got a letter," He said, handing me a piece of paper. In scriptish writing was:

Sam Driver,

I have gotten word by one of my associates that you have just been turned into a vampire. Welcome to the world of the undead. You now have the benefits of:

Immortality

No pain(most of the time)

Vampire Scent(which works on every mortal but Vampire Shifters)

Morphing into a Bat

Riches you recieve from the Coven

But you must look out for Vampire Slayers. They will stake you at any cost. Extreme heat or having a wooden stake driven into your heart will kill you, but that's it. I suggest you wear dark clothes. I would like to welcome you into the Midnight Coven, for the vampiress that turned you is part of this coven. Sadly, like any community, we have our good and bad(well, actually, when they're bad, they're usually evil) but we hope you shall be one of the first category. We have a new program so that Turnlings(newly turned vampires) get mentored by a senior member(five years or longer) until they have learned the ropes. I have assigned you Charity Reynolds, a six-year senior to mentor you. Fly to a small house on(insert address here) and you'll find her. She's a good friend of mine, and I'm sure she shall mentor you well.

Sincerely,

Magnus, Leader of the Midnight Coven

As I glared into thin air in shock, Sam handed me a note.

"Oh, yeah, this is for you."

I opened the note.

Charity,

Please don't kill me.

Magnus

"Magnus..."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lol, yeah, Charity is perfect for the job, being SO patient and kind...

Yeah right.
