A/N: Sorry about the such short chapters! These two chapters were one large chapter but when I got to thinking, they worked better as two.

Chapter 2 The basics :

"Alright people lets move! We need to get back before sunrise or we'll all turn to huge piles of ash!" He yelled and everyone moved to the sound in a rapid pace. I guessed that the stories of vampires burning into ash were true. That sounded ridiculous, but since I was now a vampire there had to be truth to some things the stories said.

And off we were, swimming through the river as fast as we all could, didn't want to be there during daylight. After reaching the shore, we went miles into the mainland, even up a few hills to get back to where we came from.

Once there he shoved us all down in the basement ( which wasn't very hard, there were only about maybe seven or eight of us) and began talking about the basics. The need to feed on humans, bursting into flames at the touch of direct sunlight, feeding on pople who are not going to be missed. I surveyed the room, from what I understood everyone was listening intently.

I was in the back, near the blond kid everyone seemed to stay away from. I had no idea what was so bad about this guy, but no one seemed to like him. Riley went on to talk to the others individually. For what reason I didn't know, but I stepped closer to the odd male.

The male looked at me with an odd look of confusion. I got a good look at him. Kind of muscular, either a dark blond, or a really light brunette, red eyes like mine. Then Riley found his way to us

" You two will have to stay and learn the basics a little longer than everyone, you will take longer to…develop" He said to us. I could only guess at what that meant. Trying to harness this ability to make people feel so…terrified. This odd guy must have had a power as well. I will ask him about it later… I thought to myself. I then nodded at Riley, and the weird kid didn't show any sign of acknowledgement.

When Riley walked off, the male turned to me. "I'm Fred" he said in a quiet, deep, almost booming voice. I smiled a tiny bit " Hi. I was already introduced back when we were hunting" I replied quickly.

"Yea, Dill right?" He said then nodded slowly "I have this strange thing going on where everyone, except you, is thoroughly repulsed by me. Can't stand to be around me" he explained. Then I noticed why he was looking at me really weird. I felt nothing.

" I make people seriously afraid." I stated in a monotone my hands on my hips. I waited for an answer from the staring male. Fred, his name is Fred. I'll have to remember that. I thought to myself.

He nodded "That's interesting. It looks like were going to be here a while." He stated and looked around. With that he put his back to a wall, and I sat there beside him, watching everyone.
