Over the next few weeks, Eleanor's clan grew until her whole cheerleading group was part of it – the eventual group was Eleanor, Allison, Rebecca and Charlotte, along with their creator. The plans for Eleanor's revenge was in place, all they had to do was find their targets and set the plans in motion. The group walked through the halls, showing off their new leather cheerleading uniforms as people got out of the way, their eyes looking as if they were about to pop out of their sockets but they all took it in stride and in fact loved the new found attention.

They kept to themselves the whole day, talking to one another in hushed tones about the plans and how they were going to carry them out. They decided to carry it out after dark, so nobody would really see what they were doing or who they were. It was decided that Eleanor would compel their first target to follow them and if that didn't work, Allison would possess them into doing it, then Charlotte would change their surroundings into something that doesn't exist while Rebecca would restrain them with whatever they could get their hands on – the perfect plan for revenge. They just had to wait for the perfect time. Their first target was Alex Novoa; he would be the first but he wouldn't be the last.

Eleanor made her way across the football field, towards Alex and his group of friends, a sly smile spread across her lips as she walked. "Hey, Alex. Can I talk to you for a moment? In private?" Her voice was soft; her eyes locked with his and ready to compel him at any moment's notice.

Alex was slightly taken aback by Eleanor's words, knowing that they hadn't spoken since the night of the party all those weeks ago. Nodding his head, he followed close behind Eleanor as they walked away from his friends and towards the edge of the school boundaries. The pair stopped and locked eyes once more, Eleanor using her compulsion on Alex almost immediately. "Call your mom and tell her you're going out with friends and will be back tomorrow or late tonight," she told him firmly.

Alex nodded, getting his phone out of his pocket and dialled the number of his mom and it went straight to voicemail. "Hey, mom, it's Alex. I'm going out with friends tonight; I'll be back tomorrow or late tonight. Bye."

Eleanor smiled as he hung up the phone, her eyes still locked with his as she continued to use her compulsion on him. "You will meet us after school at the far end of the park, near the woods, and you will tell no-one of this arrangement. Go back to your friends and tell them we talked about a test." Then she released him from her compulsion, feeling slightly dazed due to how long she had to keep him under it. Alex left her to go back to his friends, completely ignoring the state Eleanor was now under.

Allison quickly came over to her friend's aid, wrapping an arm around her and led her away from the football field and into the girl's bathroom to give her a water bottle filled with blood – since it was obvious that Eleanor was weakening from the lack of blood she'd consumed and with the plans set into motion, she was going to need all the strength she could get.

~#~

By the time the end of the day rolled around, Eleanor's group were at the park and waiting for their target to arrive. They came prepared with an extra pair of clothes, water bottles filled with blood, gasoline, matches and baby wipes to clean both themselves and Alex after they were done – they were prepared for every single outcome that would possibly happen. Although, Eleanor wasn't completely truthful with what she was going to do with Alex but she wasn't going to tell her newly found sisters that – they'd figure it out on their own.

Eleanor saw Alex coming over and forced a smile onto her lips, a hand resting on top of his arm, leading him into the slight darkness of the woods and towards her sisters who were waiting for them. "Alex, you know why you're here. We want to give you the punishment you deserve after that little stunt you pulled at the party. We hope this lesson sinks in. Becky! Make sure you have something to hold him down."

Rebecca used her psychokinesis to move a large tree branch around Alex's body, making his escape almost impossible. He panicked, trying to call for help but no sounds left his lips. "What the fuck are you doing? Are you guys fucking witches or something? Is that why you've got red eyes and look like cheerleaders from hell?"

Eleanor laughed loudly, shaking her head as she slowly walked over towards Alex. "Oh, sweetheart, we're not witches. We're vampires."

Alex laughed nervously, looking around at the girls around him. "Vampires? That shit just doesn't exist; you're just making this up."

Eleanor laughed again, resting her elbows on the branch before her laughter stopped and she turned far more serious and sinister. "You wanna know what it felt like? Well, at first it hurt – it felt like my whole body was being destroyed and reborn over and over again. But after that, it felt wonderful. I had eyes that cut through lies; I had lungs that breathed eternity. Felt I'd lived my whole wretched life just to prepare me for that moment." She then turned to Rebecca and asked her to release him but to keep a close eye on him.

The group circled around Alex, hunger in their eyes as they licked their lips. He became nervous, trying to walk away from the group but they'd always catch up to him and hold his shoulders and show him to Eleanor.

Alex was panicking, trying to get out of the girls' vice like grip but it did nothing to faze them. "Ellie, look, I'm sorry for what I did. Please, please don't kill me over this. It was a mistake!"

"Your words mean nothing to us, human," Eleanor told him, a hand delicately gliding across his skin. "Oh, honey, we're not gonna kill you, we're just gonna hurt you. Really, really bad." She whispered her creator's words before her fist connected with his face.

Eleanor's original plan wasn't to kill him, just hurt him as much as he hurt her but it soon turned into a murder and well, shit happens.

"Oh my god, you killed him. We agreed we wouldn't kill him! We would hurt him, we wouldn't kill him!" Charlotte practically screamed at Alex's body that lay between the four of them, covered in bruises, cuts and bite marks.

Eleanor rolled her eyes, slapping her friend on the cheek to shut her up. "Quit being such a baby, Charlie! He deserved it! What happened tonight stays between the four of us. You have my vow of silence." She turned to Allison, her mouth shutting tightly.

"You have my vow of silence." Allison nodded her head, turning towards Rebecca.

"You have my vow of silence, Ellie." Rebecca agreed before turning to her sister, an eyebrow rising slightly.

"You… have my vow of silence." Charlotte finally said, hanging her head afterwards.

Eleanor smiled sweetly; grabbing the baby wipes along with the gasoline and matches. "Good, now that that's out of the way. Make sure there are no marks of us left on him, I'll start the fire."

After cleaning themselves, they cleaned Alex's body and Eleanor poured gasoline over his body before setting it on fire and watching it burn for a few moments, making sure that once the fire went out – nothing would be left of his body.

Walking home, Eleanor linked her arm with Allison and rested the side of her head on her shoulder. "After that, I think I need a release. Allie, are you up for going clubbing for a few hours?"

Allison mirrored her best friend's smile, holding onto her friend's arm tightly "Babe, you know I'm always up for that."
