Kaley trembling and terrified went straight to her bed without changing

Kaley trembling and terrified went straight to her bed without changing. She didn't care that her robes would get all wrinkled that she'd have to fix them for tomorrow. She wanted the comfort of her bed and her blankets wrapped around her. For a while she simply laid there curled up in a ball her blankets wrapped securely around her. She knew very well what she was so scared of. She knew that he could rip the blankets to shreds just like he could rip her heart out with a simple gesture. Horrified Kaley slowly took the blanket off her head; her features were so delicately portrayed in fear. Anyone who might look at her would've sworn that she saw a ghost or something. As she laid in her bed the semi darkness all around her. She looked to her nightstand where a lone candle flickered on her bedside.

She sat up and took a look around her room; it was a mess as usual she thought rolling her eyes. You could tell that she often brought her work with her to her room as books and tanks were scattered amongst the room. Not that her classroom was all that far from her room she thought briefly. She had never really been very organized about those kinds of things. But she was very organized about hiding the things she was afraid to remember. They were stuffed under her bed in an ancient suitcase. Slowly she got out of the bed and dragged it out she didn't want to bring it out. Heaving and throwing it on the bed she jumped back on to the bed rolling up in the blankets. She didn't want to open it still, but she had to remind herself of the danger that was in the form of a man. The form of a man that she was greatly intrigued but yet couldn't allow herself to ever get close too. At one point she had trusted him just like she had trusted all the others. She gradually opened the cover and revealing what looked like the remnants of what her desk had been like last year.

Papers were littered in the suitcase, papers and folders medical folders by the logos on the front that was. It was such a mess; everything seemed normal except there was one small cat looking creature in the suitcase as well. The little animal looked so out of the place amongst the debris. She remembered the little cat very well. She picked the germ filled stuffed animal up and held onto it. Her father had gone out to get this for her the day she was born. Her mother had told her that her father had been so absentminded the day that she was born that he had been so incoherent. He was thrilled he was scared he was just happy to have a little girl. Her father had always said that while she lay asleep in her crib holding onto the thing that she and the animal were the same size. Apparently she'd been a freakishly small baby her father had always teased her about. She took in the smell of the old battered stuffed animal and sighed. The smell reminded her of her parents so vividly. She set the small animal aside gently and went through the papers.

They were all a blur to her as she went through them. She had seen these papers a million times, and she went over them like clockwork. She knew exactly what she was looking for this time. With a dreading sinking feeling she knew she would find it buried at the bottom. A long time ago when she had decided to keep these papers hidden, she had hidden these particular medical folders at the bottom. As she went through the papers she found the last will and testaments of her parents declaring she receive everything of there's. Briefly and almost painfully she glimpsed a picture of their lifeless faces in the photographs the police had shown her to identify her parents with. She had remembered those pictures for the longest time. She used to wake up in a sweat hearing them calling to her, those dead lifeless faces speaking to her in her dreams. She would never admit it to anyone but that had to be probably the hardest thing for her to get over. After many years she did get over it, but she had to confess that the thought of those times now brought shivers. Even if there was some magical way for her to hear her parent's voices she wouldn't even remember them. They were so blurred in her memory; certain parts of her life were clear as day. But there voices, they were beginning to disappear. She remembered their words but not really the way their voices sounded. She was of course losing her parents.

She kept digging through the suitcase seeing her entire life in a suitcase was kind of sad she thought insecurely. Every problem every thing she wanted to forget that was too hard for her to face was buried in this suitcase. That's probably why she hid it under her bed so no one would ever find it. If someone ever did find it well there went her reputation she thought as she rolled her eyes.

As she finally reached the bottom she could instantly tell from the few dried blood spots that this was the folder she needed to look at. A folder she knew well would scare her back into her keeping her comfort zone to just her and no one else. Picking up the folder and with a dread she lightly touched the blood spots on the front. It was like it was yesterday she remembered looking at this folder when it had no blood on it. Clean and cut precisely the way she used to think the world was like. She had been foolish to trust a vampires and she had to remind herself why. Finally she opened the folder and saw everything lay before her. She took a deep breath in and red the reports the doctors gave her. They all red that when she'd arrived at the hospital she was barely breathing, that none of the doctors had ever seen so much blood on one person. All the doctors that had treated her she remembered them telling her that there was a possibility of becoming a vampire, of course it had never happened. Kaley had made sure of that. Through a painful process that had nearly taken her life she had made sure that she would never turn into that creature. Was that why it hurt her so much to see Bella like that? The fears that she possessed couldn't be related to what her cousin had decided to become.

Kaley picked up the picture of herself that the Daily Prophet had taken when they had heard of the attack. She held the picture so delicately in her hands. It scared her the way she looked. The scars still bothered her immensely when she would see them. It angered her more that the monster that had given her those scars was here at her school, with her students, and well practically her family. If anything ever happened to any of the professors here cause of the danger brought in under her supervision, she'd die from the guilt. If Adrien killed anyone here she knew in her heart she would never be able to return back to Hogwarts.

As she stared at the picture the bloody picture that because of the magical world moved. Seeing yourself over and over screaming in pain and the blood trickling down your arms and head was a tad unnerving. That had to be one thing she hated about the magical world was the picture all-moving. After this attack she remembered how she turned against vampires. She made to protect herself after that, made sure she was ready for any time they may turn on her if she saw them. She loved the Cullen's family dearly but she didn't trust them when they turned on there blood lust. She wanted to trust them like the way she used too. Before her attack, before her family died, before Bella turned. She shoved the picture down and closing the folder tightly she held onto it for dear life. She loathed him for what he had done too her. After all her fighting and control not to shiver every time she came face to face with another vampire. After all the therapy and the training she went through she couldn't let Adrien bring all that down around her. She wanted her revenge on him, but she knew better then to try anything. Albus would be extremely disappointed in her.

Falling back on her massive pillows she buried herself under one and still clutching at the blanket and the folder alike she fell straight asleep. She didn't dream anymore so she wasn't afraid of waking up in a terror. One great thing about having so many nightmares after a while you got used to them.


Silently Edward and Bella followed Adrien all the way to the Tower where they would be sleeping. They had been told that they were being given a special room with their own bathroom and shower. Albus wasn't sure how well there control was when they saw simply naked flesh. Especially with Bella's control still somewhat shaky. Bella fidgeted somewhat the entire way there. When finally they were both in the room with the door shut securely. She ran to the bed and jumped upon it with a speed so unnatural. Adrien knew well the feeling of the run. He smirked as he saw her smiling and laughing now completely away from the smell of humans. They had built these rooms to secure off the smell off the humans, in order to give the vampires a little time to relax and just be vampires.

"You are still learning aren't you Isabella Cullen?" Adrien asked locking eyes with her his voice so soft but yet so clear.

"Yes I am still new to being a vampire. But Edward and the others have been teaching me. They have all been such angels to me in this new learning curve of mine." Bella stated giggling a little as she took in their room, "It's nice to be away from the smell of them all. I never realized how hard it was to control yourself around me Edward when I was human. It was really difficult to keep up pretences like that for so long."

"Trust me Edward and you as well Bella that Kaley is extremely proud of you all, she probably will never tell you. But trust me she is proud of you all for working so hard on your control." Adrien said with a sad smile on his face as he sat himself down in one of the plump chairs, "She will love you for it more then you will ever know."

"What do you mean?" Edward asked his voice cold and suspicion lining his voice.

"Just the sheer fact that you all learned to eat and to control your self's is a feat that you should be proud of." Adrien whispered waving his hand around as he spoke.

"How well do you know Kaley?" Edward asked still standing close to the door.

"I know Kaley extremely well Edward." Adrien whispered looking now at him his words were so calculated showing no signs of what he really felt. He had centuries of practise to show nothing unless he wanted to, "I can truly say that no one knows Kaley quite like I do Edward and most likely no one will ever know her the way I do."

"Know her well; Adrien she seems to incalculably detest you in a very severe sense that I have never come across in my entire life. I don't think she'll ever admit it but I would swear that I saw a little fear in her eyes when she first saw you tonight." Edward stated his voice matter of fact that of course was nothing but the truth.

"No she will never admit her fears or her worries to anyone that is definitely true Edward." Adrien stated with a whimsical smile on his face.

"Adrien I asked Kaley why she hated you so much. You know what she told me?" Edward replied his voice still quite frozen towards Adrien.

"She told you to ask me the next time that you are alone with me." Adrien replied sighing as he sat heavily in the chair by the small fire in the middle of the room, "You know that she does this every time to me. She never actually tells anyone the story; she just always tells whoever is asking to simply ask me when she isn't around."

"Why would she tell people to ask you every time? Does it hurt you to tell the story?" Bella asked as she made her way to stand by Edward.

"You have no idea how much it hurts for me to relive the story over and over. I have constant nightmares about it every night. But I think some days that she loves to remind me of the horrors that I committed on her." Adrien snapped his voice was so harsh towards them. But he wasn't angry with them just he as always, "The horrendous things that I did if I had just known how to control myself. To control myself much like you Edward learned to control yourself around Bella when she was human. Maybe things would be different between us. Maybe she wouldn't hate vampires so much, maybe she would still be fighting like she used to for our kind."

"What do you mean?" Edward asked he went and grabbed two chairs for himself and his wife Bella, "Kaley wouldn't fight for our kind, she has a hard time accepting us as it is."

"But she didn't always have a hard time Edward." Adrien stated with a smile he remembered, "She was so full of life back then, even after the deaths of her parents. She was such a child when she went to help us and cause of me I killed that innocence in her. I destroyed her dreams, her precious dreams."

"I don't understand Adrien." Bella whispered softly her voice tinged with curiosity but at the same time she was worried, "Will Kaley be mad if you tell us the story from the beginning?"

"She won't be mad but don't expect her to treat you differently because you know the truth. Kaley isn't like that, she'll treat you the same way she treats me Isabella Swan." Adrien stated with a grin he winked, "I've known from the very beginning. You have the same look that your cousin has when she's worried. No one would notice but a vampire maybe someone who actually knew Kaley for a tremendously long time might notice."

"So my secrets out…" Bella whispered lowering her head.

"Don't worry I'm not going to tell anyone." Adrien laughed waving the problem aside, "Really who would I tell anyways?"

"Will you tell us the story of Kaley from when you first met her?" Edward asked grabbing Bella's hand holding it gently; "Kaley as I'm sure you know doesn't really talk about herself that much doesn't talk about herself to us at all."

"It is a very long story to tell Edward." Adrien stated a soft kind smile on his face, as he looked them both in the eyes, "It will take a while."

"Well we don't sleep so we will not be tired for tomorrows classes Adrien." Edward stated laughing a little, "Please if not for me will you at least tell Bella. She knows very little of her cousin, Kaley is so protective of herself."

"With good reason Edward with very good reason to be." Adrien stated leaning back in his chair comfortably, "But yes I will tell you both no worries. Kaley immediately changed shortly after she graduated from Hogwarts.

"Kaley was so enthusiastic after she graduated from Hogwarts. As most students are, they think they know everything. They think that they are ready for the malicious and spiteful world that awaits them and just cause they are know considered adults. At this time Kaley and Albus were very close together at this point, like father and daughter almost everyone used to say. After 7 years of helping her realize it wasn't her fault that it was fate for her to go on and for her parents to die. They were as close as a daughter and a father could ever be. Everyone knew how hard Albus had been working on getting equal rights for vampires. It was a fight that Kaley was greatly interested in, and only because you Edward and you family. At the time I had been one of the few vampires who were willing to listen to their plans for our kind."

"There were other vampires interested in coming into the world with the witches and wizards?" Edward asked surprised himself that his kind would even think about it.

"Well yes and no, some of them came just too simply shoot down little Kaley. Albus had never really trusted vampires enough to meet them on their home grounds, but Kaley she always trusted vampires. Because your family Edward they are all so controlled and were always so careful around Kaley that she didn't fear vampires like a normal human should have feared us. She came by herself too meet with ten vampires all esteemed and with some sort of title."

"You were one of them?" Bella asked softly.

"Yes I was Bella; after all if I was on board with the regulations and the rules then every young vampire would be with me." Adrien stated a small smile on his face, "The Great War hero who couldn't even control himself around one little girl. My reputation has been shattered already among the vampire life."

"You attacked Kaley?" Edward bluntly asked his voice calm and neutral.

"I did Edward and I nearly killed her in the process unfortunately." Adrien said his eyes moving away from their immortal young faces, "I couldn't control myself, her blood sang to me beautifully calling too me. I barely heard a word she said that day I was trying so hard to concentrate on anything, to distract myself from her. The way she moved clumsy but yet still graceful. She was so sure of herself; she thought it was a bold move that the world needed in order to put peace between our kind and hers."

"Her blood sang to you?" Bella said looking to Edward, "Much like my blood sang to Edward when we first met."

"No Bella it couldn't be the same. Someone like Adrien as old as he his would've come across humans like this before." Edward said smiling a little as he said it.

"Actually Edward it is exactly that." Adrien stated his voice so full of remorse and sorrow, "I had never come across a human who affected me like that before. It startled me and I was quite unprepared, but of course I couldn't leave the room to take a breath and calm myself. Not in the middle of Kaley's presentation to us. Kaley was looking to bringing vampires into Hogwarts; of course it would be under special supervision in order to ensure the human children's to be safe. Then of course as clumsy as Kaley is she was passing out a copy of the agreement that her and Albus had come to terms with for us all too see. She of course had too right as she was passing me a paper she had to get of all things a paper cut.

"Right in front of me! I didn't have anytime to even warn her. It happened so quickly. I jumped her attacking at first just her finger eager for just a little taste of that precious blood that sang too me. Kaley screamed and fought against me, which only furthered to anger my animalistic side not too mention excite that side of me. I attacked at her throat she finally fell to the ground she was barely moving. But her blood was everywhere, it was on me and in my throat I couldn't control myself. I think there were three of the others who tried to stop me with no luck. I threw them off me like they were simply rag dolls. I hated myself; I couldn't control anything that I was doing. The others 6 they didn't care not for Kaley, they knew that I had destroyed what ever hope that Albus or Kaley had of bringing vampires into Hogwarts forever."

"Well if someone fights for it now I'm sure people will listen." Bella stated looking from Edward's grave face to Adrien's shaking head, "Why won't they listen?"

"Because Adrien attacked Kaley almost to the point of death if anyone even knew that Adrien was here he'd be killed on sight." Edward whispered his voice so severe and serious, "Vampires have an instant death notice from our sort of Parliament that I told you about and the Wizards world. Adrien exposed us; we should actually kill him now. We of course won't Adrien."

"What ever happened to Kaley?" Bella asked softly, "Is she a vampire? Cause of the poison from your teeth?"

"No Kaley made absolutely sure that'd she'd never turn into a vampire. She nearly killed herself when they put her in isolation no one ever thinks to check the innocent looking ones. Especially how delicate looking she is, her soft smile and her wide innocent eyes when they first take you in. Now she may be a hard ass back then she was a little doll handcrafted through pain and torture. Well she had secretly brought a knife into the isolation room with her." Adrien said smiling delicately, "She hated the fact that some of her blood was poisoned, could barely stand the thought that I had dirtied her blood. She told Albus with absolute resolve to pump her blood out and clean her blood. Give her blood transfusions over and over till the poison was gone. The doctors refused of course, there were too many liabilities in order for them to do it. When Albus told her it wasn't possible, that it might kill her in the end anyways. That she was going to have to live with being a vampire for the rest of her eternal life. She refused to believe that she was destined to become a monster; after all with that power coursing through her she knew it wasn't a possibility. She knew that the only way she was going to get out of isolation out of being a vampire was that she had to deal with it herself. Kaley took that knife and cut her throat out the stitches where I had attacked her. She drained her blood from there and with an expertise I never thought she had, ripped part of her shirt up and quickly wrapped up her wound again. You can for sure say that Kaley was stubborn, far too stubborn.

"The first time she did they removed the knife and stitched her back up immediately. If they only knew Kaley they would've realized that she had other knifes that she had brought with her. She wasn't stupid, she knew that they still wouldn't do it after the first time so she continued to do it. When they had found all those knifes they even moved her to another isolation room. She simply used her magic to unstitch and drain her blood again and again. Finally the doctors resolved that if she was stubborn about this that they might as well do it themselves to prevent any infections that might occur."

"Did it work?" Bella asked Adrien her voice so soft and scared.

"Of course it did Bella, your cousin is not a vampire. Your cousin is far too strong to allow the poison to ever take her over. She was in a great deal of pain for months while this happened. The draining of the blood and the burning sensation that you feel when you're about to die. It was a great ordeal for Kaley to go through." Adrien whispered locking eyes with her his grey eyes were so cold as he hid his emotions, "But ever since then Kaley isolated herself from any vampire. Yes she kept in contact with your family Edward but did you ever see her? No she couldn't allow herself to trust vampires again. I think that was another reason that she was so upset about you becoming one of us Bella."

"But it was my choice not hers, she knew that I loved Edward with all my heart." Bella protested holding onto dear life to Edward's hand.

"Imagine how it must feel Bella for Kaley to see you this way. Not only are you dead to the world but you have become what she fears the most." Adrien stated appealing to Bella's still human emotions, "She won't admit it but maybe after some time she will accept vampires safely back into her life."

"You love her don't you Adrien?" Edward openly asked staring at him with an intensity that startled his wife Bella.

"I know you can't read my thoughts Edward so how did you figure that out?" Adrien stated laughing at him a little, "No one has ever found that out. I believe Kaley just figured out that little fact tonight."

"The way you talk about her." Edward whispered fondly, "You speak about her with such a tenderness that I always used to speak about Bella with that I actually still speak about her with."

"Edward you are a very astute vampire even without your special abilities you have an amazing gift of reading people." Adrien stated as he stood up smiling down at him, "I think we will be great friends this year Edward."

"I would like that very much Adrien." Edward stated standing up he extended his hand to Adrien.

Adrien took his hand brusquely and shook it vigorously, "But of course Edward! But I really should be going now. It's nearly dawn you will have to be careful of the sun you two and careful of any other little things around the humans. Don't make the same mistakes that I made."

Adrien went towards the door as he went for the doorknob Bella grabbed his hand. He smiled briefly as she held his hand in her small hands just like Kaley's hands were he thought vaguely. So soft and small and delicate what he wouldn't give to have Kaley touch him like her cousin does.

"She will forgive you soon Adrien." Bella whispered holding onto his hand still, "Kaley won't admit it she can't she's afraid I believe, but she does care about you even though you scare her. She has a lot to deal with and I hope to take some of that worry off of her shoulders in order for her to open up to your love. In order to open up to anyone for love, for anything to make that loneliness in her eyes disappear."

"You are very kind Bella but I don't believe that will ever happen." Adrien stated removing Bella's hands from his, "She is quite set in her ways; she is completely fine with being alone. She's been alone for most of her life for me to try and interrupt her perfect little life is intolerable of me. I understand her more then you do Bella. I did after all taste her blood not you. Remember that your cousin is an amazing woman, strong and loving and caring she tried to change the world. Unfortunately her dreams will never come true even with me around."

With that he opened the door and left the two of them with each other's thoughts. Bella didn't understand why the two of them had to hurt so much. She understood why Kaley was so careful and protective of herself now though. It made sense, don't get attached to people and there would be no pain. But she had gotten attached to people whether she liked it or not. Kaley was important to Albus, to her, to the entire Cullen's family, to this school, and most importantly to Adrien.

Edward and her lay in bed and Edward couldn't help but think that maybe because Bella and him was working out so well. Maybe just maybe Adrien and Kaley would sooner or later work out.


Kaley awoke in her bed she threw of the huge pillow the papers spiralling all over. She had felt something near her and it startled her. It smelt oddly like blood and the earth, was there a dead body in her room. Turning around she saw her parents faces in front of her there mouths grotesquely rotted into perpetual screams. She screamed herself jumping off the bed and far to the window. They walked towards her there hands stretched out there fingers reaching for her moving trying to get too her. She couldn't move as they came closer and closer to her she didn't know what to do. She tried to remember her magic and banish their souls to a restful sleep but she couldn't remember anything. All she could remember was the pain of there deaths that she felt. But she could also feel there sorrow their hatred towards her. They were angry with her for killing them.

"NO!" Kaley screamed she jerked up in her bed the papers flying all around her. Her breathing was irregular but it was dawn and there were no zombie parents in her room, "It was just a stupid dream."

She fell back on her bed turning on her side she stared out the window watching the sunrise. She hated dreams, why was she all of a sudden remembering everything. Stupid Adrien brought up these feelings in her and she knew it. Her new year would go by with no instances of trouble or problems. If Adrien tried to get any closer to her this year she'd plunge that stake right into his heart as he lay in the dungeons all alone and clod and dead.
