Alright. So it's been forever. I am aware of that. This chapter is also extremely short. That I am also aware of. Which is why I am uploading Chapter 9 right after this one. I feel really awful about not updating for so long but there's been so much going on. I'm actually supposed to be studying right now but I was feeling really productive so I started to write. I'm working on another story at the moment that I'm thinking of uploading soon. It's a Twilight imprint story so I'm sorry if you guys don't enjoy those but that's like literally all I read on fanfiction anymore. If you have any reccomendations let me know! Also. . .Strange Fate is coming out in 471 days!It might just be me but I'm pretty sure that last time I checked it was coming out in April 2011? I'm pretty sure April 2011 will be long over in 471 days!I hate when they push release dates back :( Yeah, I think that's all for now. . .

Monday morning. The worst part of the week in Mary-Lynette's opinion. This Monday was different however. They needed to figure out who the new guy was. They had asked Thierry if he knew of any other Night Worlders in the area but the search had come up blank so today, Blaise was going to break into the records room in the office to find any records on a new student and the rest of them were going to look for anything suspicious. Much to Mary-Lynette's dismay however, the morning was highly uneventful. Nothing had changed in the slightest. It was just another Monday. They had all agreed to meet at lunch and talk and Mary-Lynette heaved a sigh as she slowly made her way towards the cafeteria. It was starting to get cold outside and Mary-Lynette stopped by one of the windows in the front hallway and watched as the wind caught up the red and orange leaves that had been shed from the branches just above. She sighed and leaned against the window, pressing her forehead against the cool glass. So much had changed. Everything was moving so fast and it was getting hard to keep up. She knew when she found out about Ash that nothing would ever go back to the way it was before. Nothing could go back to the way it was before. After everything she'd been through, everything she'd seen and everything she knew now, she honestly didn't want it to change. She'd finally gotten what she wanted. Some excitement. And if everything went well, she might just get the happy ending that she'd always wanted. She smiled as she thought of Ash. He was perfect. Granted he had his flaws, but everyone did. He was perfect for her. She knew that he would always be there for her, 'through thick and thin' as her dad liked to say. And she was grateful for that. Mary-Lynette was so deep in thought that she hadn't noticed footsteps coming up behind her. Her only warning was an intake of breath before she whirled around and came face to face with the most dangerous looking person she had ever seen.
