There isn't much to say, so without further a due, here is chapter seven!

Me: Now can you answer my question?

Steph: I can't give you Twilight because it was my idea and they are my characters.

Me: I respect that. I resent it, but respect it all the same.

Steph: Thank you! Besides, you have your characters that are pretty awesome too.

Zephyr's POV

The morning at school was pretty boring. Once I bumped into Edward and Bella in the hall, and he told me he had seen her. He refused to tell me her name, but I really didn't want to know anyway.

He also said that I had to be careful around her. She apparently knew something about us. I really shouldn't have ignored Carlisle yesterday. He tried to tell me that too.

After third period, I headed to the cafeteria with my family. Human food was okay but I had just hunted so I wasn't hungry. Dad packed his own lunch so none of us had to use a lunch account.

When we walked in, I heard someone telling another person about us. I just sat down because that happens a lot.

After reciting our story to someone, I heard my name and out of habit turned to the area.

What I saw took my breath away.

There was a girl who had shoulder-length mahogany hair, striking grey-blue eyes, a beautiful smile, and she wasn't wearing any makeup.

When ours met, it was like nothing else mattered. She was my gravity. Everything besides her faded away. My responsibilities, my friendships, my family, even my life only came second to her.

I sifted through the thoughts of the people around her without ever leaving her gaze. Apparently, her name was Ellen Stacy. Ellen Black. That sounded better. After several long minutes, she looked away and her face lit up with an alluring flush.

I kept staring after her, wishing those lovely eyes would come back to mine. My thoughts soon turned to anger though. Someone else wanted her. I let out a silent growl.

"Zephyr, calm down," Jasper warned me and sent a wave of calm. It didn't help a bit. I just glared at him and looked away.

The boy that was name Masen was trying to get her to go out with him.

I've waited too long. I need Ellen to be my girlfriend. Not Black's. She is so beautiful. I wouldn't hurt her.

I had to agree with him that she was beautiful, but I would never hurt her. Hurting her would kill me.

I tried to read her mind, but I was only met with Camisado by Panic! At the Disco. It was one of my favorites. She was definitely my kind of girl. But this meant something worse: she knew that one of us could read minds.

I quickly turned to Edward.

"Is that what you meant?" I asked aloud. I wonder if I was the only one besides Bella that knew.

"Yes. She knew my real last name, that I am a vampire, and that I can read minds. I have no idea how she could know, and I planned on asking her later. Considering she'll be with you soon, I'm leaving the topic alone," he said. Everyone's faces lit up with curiosity.

"She knows?" Rosalie growled.

"I talked to her already, she didn't seem like she knew, and if she did, she didn't care," Bella assured us.

"I don't think she is the slightest afraid of us," Jasper threw in.

"Won't this just be easier if Zephyr is going to be with her forever?" my mom asked.

"I think it's better this way. It means we don't have to tell her," Dad said. I agree with him, but I was still wary.

"So, I get a new human sis? This rocks!" Emmett exclaimed.

"Guys, I wouldn't be so positive. She might want to be with Masen. She's undecided," Alice warned us.

"What do you mean, Alice? She's my imprint. I thought it went both ways?" I said, but it came out as more of a worried question.

"Most of the time, but ever since Masen asked, the visions of you and her disappeared," Alice said.

I felt like crying. There was no way Masen could have her. She was meant to be with me.

I was about to walk up to her when the bell rang dismissing lunch. I prayed that she would be in at least one of my classes. I quickly walked to P.E. and got suited up.

When I walked out to the court, my heart sped up. She was there, but she and this girl were talking with him. I walked to my side of the basketball court at the same time as Masen did.

If there's any way to prove I'm better than Masen for Ellen, I'll do it. I have to admit, with his blue eyes, black disheveled hair, and blemish free face, his looks almost compared to mine. I'll have to show I'm a better man.

When the coach came out and told us that the try outs for basketball were starting today, I jumped at the chance. Masen did as well.

During tryouts, I continuously showed Masen up. He was good, but he was human, and couldn't compare to my vamp/wolferific skills.

It ended up with both of us on the team. I gave Ellen a quick wink causing her to giggle and blush. I would do anything to hear that again.

It was only after I made the team that I realized I would actually have to be at these games, in close contact with humans, and I would have to pretend I was exerted. I was definitely going to be in trouble.

The coach told us to walk in and take showers. This was when Masen decided to threaten me. Not a good idea on his part.

"Listen, Black, Ellen is going to be mine. Your charm and looks won't get her to fall in your lap," he spat at me. I immediately grabbed him by his collar and slammed into the lockers.

"Listen, Fisher, you don't own her. She never even said yes. She said she would think about it," I growled at him. He actually paled a bit.

"Whatever. She willnever be yours," he said as he tried to push me away. I let him think he did.

"We'll see," I told him. She isn't property, but her heart will hopefully be mine.

I walked out of the locker room, and headed off to my next class: Algebra.

When I walked in, I received a glare from Alice. I guess she had seen me make the team. Or maybe she saw me threaten Fisher. I shot her an apologetic smile and sat down in my usual seat near the back.

I couldn't help the smile that broke out across my face as Ellen sat in the seat next to me. Her blood smelled wonderful, but I could never hurt her.

"Hey," I greeted her as she got her books out of her bag.

"Hi," she greeted back with an adorable smile.

"My name is Zephyr. You must be Ellen," I said.

"Yeah, that's me. I guess it doesn't take a genius to figure out my name," she said with a laugh.

"Are you insulting my intellect?" I feigned hurt. At first she got a panicked look on her face, but when I chuckled, she smiled back.

"I'm sure your intellect is just fine. It's probably just hidden deep, deep down," she joked.

"I should probably find it soon, considering Mrs. Lawson demands every bit of it."

I hoped that I would get another laugh out of her, and I did.

Class started, but all I could do was stare at her. I looked at her shiny hair, and wondered if it was as soft as it looked.

I pretended to yawn and put my arm behind her chair. I started to lightly sift her hair through my fingers. It was as soft as it looked.

She must have felt my hand, because she looked back at me and flushed a million shades of red. She didn't know how adorable she looked.

"Can I help you with something, Mr. Black?" she asked in a falsetto tone.

"Not yet," I answered her playful question honestly then added in my head, but you soon will.

Ellen's POV

I walked to Algebra in a daze. I had made the basketball team, but I could only think of one thing: Zephyr and Masen's obvious competition for me.

I hated that I was the reason for fighting, but I also felt warm and fuzzy on the inside. I had to stop in the bathroom to check my blood sugar, so I was almost late for algebra.

When I got there, I saw Zephyr sitting in the seat next to mine. I squealed in my head, causing me to blush a little. I noticed Alice sitting a few rows ahead, but I was too absorbed in Zephyr to care.

"Hey," he greeted me after I sat down. His voice was like velvet.

"Hi," I greeted back lamely.

"My name is Zephyr. You must be Ellen," he said.

"Yeah that's me. I guess it doesn't take a genius to figure out my name," I answered playfully.

For a second he really looked offended, and I felt bad, but he chuckled and I smiled at him.

"Are you insulting my intellect?" he asked jokingly. He had an adorable expression that didn't match his "hurt" tone at all.

"I'm sure your intellect is just fine. It's just hidden deep, deep down there," I joked and gave him a small smile.

"I should probably find it soon, considering Mrs. Lawson demands every bit of it," he joked back, and I laughed.

Soon the class started, but I could feel Zephyr's gaze on me the entire time.

I felt a tickle on my neck, and when I looked behind me, I saw his hand in my hair playing with it. I must have blushed, because I could feel my ears get hot. I decided to make a joke of it.

"Can I help you, Mr. Black?" I asked in a falsetto tone.

"Not yet," he responded in a sincere tone that made me feel like there was something I didn't know.

I was about to ask him about it when the bell rang, dismissing me to my free period.

I headed to my locker, and went out to my truck. After sitting and reading for a few minutes I heard a knock on my window. I wonder who it could be.

I know Zephyr seemed a bit forward, but he knew she was the one, so why would it matter? Feel free to leave a review.
