Chapter 3

After My Picture Fades and Darkness Has Turned To Gray

A/N: Hey hey guys I know not many of you might read this but if you do please please please!! I implore you to review. Lemme know if I should continue the mess. R&R now onto the chapter.

"Wake up girls!" Mrs.Grimwood called. "Todays our annual vollyball match between Colonel Calloway's Military school!" she walked into the mummy room to find Tanis up and rewrapping her arm. "Tanis what happened?"

"I had a nightmare and I woke up and my arm was comming undone I think it got caught in my door." she titled her head down.

"Now now Tanis don't cry, here take this wrap to Cybella and she'll fix it. I have to try and wake Elsa and Winnie."

"Ok Mrs.Grimwood." she wiped her eyes and walked into the dungon. "Cybella? Are you awake? I need you to help me...if you could...or I could just leave?" she started to walk up the stairs when she heard the coffin open and the oldest girl streach out her arms.

"Whats wrong kid?"

"Mrs.Grimwood asked you to help me rewrap my wrappings. And to remind you to get up early for training because our big game is today, but I'll just get Phanty to do it sorry to bother you."

"Tanis honey come back here. Come on let me see. It won't be too hard to fix come on hun sit on my lap so I can get you arms. Why are you so scared of me?"

"Well your the oldest girl at Grimwood, and your the strongest and everything."

"Oh Tanis don't be frightenend I'll not harm you. If you ever need help just call me your a fangtastic kid your going to be a vonferful mummy in the future. Now your wrap is done let's wake the others so we can get ready for the game huh?"

"Ok Cybella." Tanis looked at the stairs to the dungon there were many stairs to prevent all light from disturbing Cybellas sleep.

"Here Tanis let me help you." she picked the small girl up knowing how hard it was to walk upstairs in newer wrap.

'By time the match starts she'll be as good as good.' she thought to herself as she put Tanis down then locked her door.

"Morning Phanty Elsa Winnie. How'd you sleep?"

"Who could sleep knowing it was Halloween today?" Winnie howled with excitement.

"Well I slept and had a fangtastic sleep. Well girls come on let's get breakfast so we can do a couple hours of training in for the match." she lead the way into the kitchen. She always took the leaders position mostly because she was the oldest. Ever since her mother died when she was eleven she'd been there. Her father couldn't keep his job as Count and watch her. She understood that. So she was sent here. Over the years she devoloped the leadership skills she already had, most of it was natural after all her father was the strongest vampire in the world. She met Phanty two years after she came. They became friends fast, then Elsa came, five years later Winnie howled in and then Tanis. The two younger ones got close fast Winnie being over protective of the mummy and Tanis being the rational one they made quite a team. Elsa mostly huhng around with the other reanimated corpses. Cybella sat at the table eating her breakfast as she started to daydream.

'I remember the first time we met each other.' she thought.

(Flashback)

"Now now Cybella your fourth year will be much easier we have a few more girls comming one I think you'll get along very nicely with. She's a vampire just like you only her father isn't Count Dracula. But he is a Count of some foregin land. Her name is Delilah. And we have a phantom comming Phantasma. A few other minor ghouls the normal half breeds and just common things. So go to your room and get ready for dinner." She walked back to her dorm she heard the door open and close downstairs.

"Hi. Is this the basement?" A beautiful pale girl walked into the room. I'm Delilah you must be Cybella right?"

"Yes it's fangtastic to meet you." she took the girls hand and kissed it lightly.

'She was my first.'

"Well uhmm Mrs.Grimwood told me I'd be sleeping down here with you if you didn't mind. And my coffin hasen't arrived and probably won't get here for a week mind if I bunk with you?"

"No problem. I mean if your ok with it?" she blushed.

"Your cute when you blush, you must have a great guy on your wing back home huh?" her fangs gleamed white entrancing Cybella.

"Oh no I'm a lesbian and single. And you?"

"Same my dear. I can't belive your single your so cute." she looked up and down Cybellas body her eyes looked hungry, but her fangs showed no signs of intention to feed, not like it would help to bite her anyways she was dead anyway.

"Well hun your are the most beautiful Vampire I've ever seen." her hair was long and jet black it reached her midback and her eyes were red, she was as tall as Cybella and just a skinny but Cybella was just a little bit more muscular.

"Hm my turn to blush now." they stepped towards each other slowly reaching out their hands. So hesitant and innocent they grasped each other. In each other's sweet embrace Cybella pulled her closer to her, leaning in ever so gently and slowly their lips made contact with the others. They pulled away slowly both grinning like fools. So a few more light kisses were shared on the last Cybella ran her tounge along Delilah's bottom lip asking entrence into her mouth. As it was granted they slowly tangled their tounges together not quickly just going at their own pace like dancing a dance only they knew. They explored each others mouth moaning into each other causing want and wetness to the both of them as the pulled apart. Weeks past and the girls only grew closer and closer, soon it had been two months and they shared a great secret, they were now an official couple. Cybella had told her father, Delilah sadly had no one to tell...true she had a father but like Cybella her mother died young and her father wasn't fond of children much less a daughter. Time passed and the girls grew into beautiful young women, but one day something terrible happened, Delilah's father remarried. It was a human woman so with a new mother around he took her out of school and put her to work at home. She wrote and called often but soon it became less and less. Then one day she came to see Cybella, for the last time. She walked up behind her and wrapped her arms around her and purred in her ear, they talked and kissed all lovely dovey then she left she told her she'd be back but she recived a letter one day.

"My dearest love Cybella, please know I love you more then the blood I drink and the air I breath but my family is leaving the area. Were going back to my fathers country and I am being forced to be...married. My love please forgive me I couldn't help this for I never knew of the law, I'm the oldest of my fathers daughters and therefore I must marry to produce an heir,but my heart isn't in it. Please my love remember me. I'll be back one day after the marrige is annuled and we'll live the dreams we always talked about but until then my life I set you free. If you fall for someone else I'll understand but please always hold a little part of me in you, your in my heart always. Goodbye my sweet please try to hold on, don't hurt yourself Cybella I've seen the scars last time I saw you, don't your much too beautiful for that. I love you for always.

Love the girl who fell for you with one look and has given you her heart to keep. Delilah."

"You will always be in my heart." she whispered so silently through her tears. She reached in her coffin got her razor and she cut. She cut everything from her arms to legs stomach and chest. The last thing she cut was a heart, a heart bleeding. She drank more then needed causing almost drunk feelings for her, she took up cigarettes. That is until one day Phanty came down. That was the first time she really looked at Phanty. Her clear blue eyes smiling and laughing with the other girls. Cybella was sitting alone in the dark when Phanty floated up to her.

"May I sit here?" her voice was low and hushed she knew about Cybella. Knew about the love the cutting and everything else. She watched her from the ceiling at night always making sure she never over did it. She'd always liked Cybella since the first time they talked oh so long ago.

"If you wish Miss Phantasma." her voice was low and dull.

"Oh please Bella drop the title and call me Phanty." her took the girls hand.

"Your human? I thought you were...I mean...I've never seen you..."

"Hhahahahhahaha! Ohh hahah waahaha!" her crazy laughter made the vampire smile. "I have the ability to solidify my self at times, I never do it because I never needed to but I wanted to make sure you were alright, Cybella I know about the things you do to yourself and honey they're are not worth it."

"Phanty you..." the Phantom put a soft finger to her lips.

"Yes me I watched you, if you hate me now then fine but at least promise me you'll stop."

"Phanty I don't hate you...I'll stop..under one condition." she smiled lightly and brushed a piece of hair out of the other girls face.

'Her hair white with a blue streak..it's cute and so soft.'

"What the condition?" the phantom snapped the girl out of her day dream.

"You have to promise to help me and be my best friend."

"Deal." they shook and became one just like that.

"Bella? Hey Cybella? BABY!" she heard a voice calling her.

"Huh what? Oh babe what's going on?"

I asked if you were ok you stopped eating and stared off into space. You ok babe?"

"Yea honey I'm fine." she took her hand and kissed her lightly so no one saw.

'I waited for you for a long time. But I can't wait anymore, but you still hold all of me.'

"Ok well eat up then we have some time left to work on our practice. Cool?"

"Yea sounds great let me just change my pants." she finished eating and changed out of her dress. "And silently I call to no one." she looked at her arms and legs and her chest. She ran her hands over the scars. "And to think I gave up the knife for love...I guess it's true you do, do crazy things, when your in love." she said to herself. She walked upstairs to Phanty and started practice.
