Sorry it's taken so long to update guys my Fiancé is in town so I've been distracted.
Chapter 4
Normal POV
I ran upstairs to get into my usual slaying outfit, black skinny jeans a back tank top and my favorite black motorcycle jacket. I kept my usual ankle boots on where I always hide my favorite knife. It was my moms, the one thing of hers I got to keep all to myself. I looked in the mirror as I pulled my long hair back into a pony tail. I had never been a super girly girl; it's kind of tough to be when you're raised by a dude. I fixed my eyeliner noticing it had smudged a little, probably when I leaned into Reid. Reid…I still don't understand why he didn't volunteer to come with me. Maybe he didn't really like me; I mean I'm not sure if I even like him like that. I always felt more connected to him out of all the guys. Maybe it was just me though. I grabbed some stake and put them in my leg holsters and headed back downstairs. Tyler and Reid were standing next to each other at the bottom of the stairs. "Hey everything alright…?"
"Yep ready to go?" Ty asked and Reid smiled and walked back into the living room with the others.
"Umm yeah…" I walked into the living room. "We should be back in about an hour you guys are welcome to stay and watch more movies or whatever."
"OK you guys be careful…" Sarah smiled.
"Right…" I stole one more look at Reid who was staring at the floor…weird. "Ok Ty lets go!" We walked out of the house and down the path to get to the woods. There was a full moon out which was lighting our path. I stuck to the usual path that took us in a circle on the edge of the woods to cover the most territory. It was quiet for a while so I decided to break the silence. "So Ty not to be rude but why did you come with me?"
"Well I actually wanted your help with something…"
"Really what? It can't be homework because collage hasn't even started yet."
He laughed. "No I was actually wondering if you could teach me how to talk to girls. Back at Spencer I never had a girlfriend, I didn't even know how to talk to one let alone ask her out. I want Harvard to be different…" He seemed to blush a little bit.
"OH Ty of course I'll help you…I doubt you need that much help, I mean you're cute what girl wouldn't want you."
He kicked a rock in front of him. "I just don't understand what girls want…"
"Well I'm just going off what I know, every girl is different; the perfect guy is mysterious but outgoing, confident but not cocky. Like you have to be mysterious enough to not give too much away leave the girl wanting to know more about you. But too mysterious and you come off creepy. And the whole confidence thing, you have to know that your something but you don't want be cocky like the Aaron Abbott douche."
"Ok I've got that but what about like conversation what do girls like to talk about…besides clothes and stuff."
"Well the first week at school should be easy because everyone is new, so talk about classes, professors and stuff. But once you get to know a girl you can usually get a feeling for what they like. Like me for instance I'm a TOTAL movie buff so I like to know what guys think about my favorite movies or what their favorite movies are…but that's me."
"So…"
"Pretty much Ty you have to be a perfect combination of you and Reid. Reid is confident and outgoing; you are mysterious, smart and polite. Just try to remember what would Reid do or say then dial it back a bit." We both laughed.
"Thanks Avery speaking of Reid what do you think of him?"
"Reid is a great friend…why?"
"Just wondering…so you don't see him as boyfriend material then."
"What's with the sudden interest Ty…?" He looked at the ground. "Did Reid ask you to do recon on me?"
"Oh shit he's going to kill me…"
"He did! Which means he's interested in me…?" I couldn't help but smile.
"Oo that made you smile…" Tyler teased.
I lightly punched his arm, "Shut up Ty…I guess I just never thought Reid would be interested, we've been friends for so long."
"Well he kind of thought that you felt that way…like you were just friends and weren't into him like that. That's why he's never made a move…"
"Well then I guess you have some good information to report back soldier." He laughed.
We walked for a few more minutes when I heard a few twigs snap off to our right. Tyler and stopped in the path, "who's there?" I called out.
A dark figure stepped out towards Tyler and I. I saw his blood red eyes, and fangs shine in the moonlight. "What a pretty slayer we have here…"
I pulled a stake out from my leg holster, "Tyler get back…" I ran at the vampire, we fought for a while; he parried most of my attacks and landed one good punch to my right cheek. That pissed me off, I attacked harder and got him on his back just as I was about to plunge my stake into his heart he dissolved away. Not like he turned into dust but just disappeared into the air. I recognized this; I had seen the guys disappear like this before.
"Tyler we need to get back to the house." He nodded and we took off back towards the house. I felt much better when I saw the all the lights were on. Once we got in I turned around and locked the door. Everyone came around the corner when they heard us.
Reids smile faded once he saw my bruise, he hand brushed over the bruise lightly. Thanks to slayer power it didn't really hurt. "What the hell happened?"
"We ran into a vampire…" his hand felt cool on my cheek.
"Seriously…you haven't seen one in two years! Did you dust him…?"
My dad came around the corner, Reid dropped his hand. "umm no he just disappeared like with magic…" The room was so quiet you could've heard a pin drop.
