A/N: sorry guys, I'm sick and can't write much…

Song: memories by within temptation

Don't ask me why, it just kinda… matched.

All the girls and I cleaned up the mess for Ms. Moore. Once we were done, I hooked my arm through the basket and followed Ms. Moore out of the cave. The rest of the girls followed behind.

It was our last class of the day, and so we went to our rooms, got changed, went down to the chapel, had dinner, and went into the sitting room for an hour of freedom. I couldn't take my mind off of Ms. Moore's story as I sat down beside Pippa in Felicity's tent of scarves. Just as Cecily tried to crawl in, Felicity rudely shut the drape in her face.

Ann, the little good girl, looked at Felicity with horror etched into her face. "She is not welcome her any longer," Felicity explained sternly. I grinned. Felicity and I would definitely have a long and happy friendship.

"When is our next visit to the gypsies?" I asked nonchalantly. I wanted to talk to Amar a bit more. I didn't fancy him at all. I did not like him that way. He seemed like a very decent friend, though.

"We do it twice a week," Ann clarified. "Wednesdays and Sundays. Wednesday, because that is the day teachers have a little get-together at midnight that we happen to come upon one night. They all get drunk, so they don't notice us sneaking out."

I giggled hysterically. "The teachers here aren't as smart as they let on in their classes, are they?" I asked.

Ann giggled, shook her head, and continued, "We do it on Sundays because those are our only days free of our lessons. We simply sneak out during the day when no one notices. Everyone is running around everywhere. No one notices!"

I clench my teeth together while grinning madly to stop the shriek I felt crawling through my throat. The idea was so ingenious, I was about to burst.

We went up to bed soon enough. The next day went by just as the day before had, except we learned about the stories behind some famous paintings in art class instead of going out for a picnic.

That night, instead of going over to the sitting room, I went upstairs to the library. The books were in alphabetical order. Simple, I thought.

I searched the shelf with all the books that started with V. there was nothing on vampires. I searched B, for blood, perhaps. Nothing there, either. I searched shelf by shelf, but there was nothing there. I didn't know why I panicked so much. It was probably just a myth.

No, it wasn't. The topic was sensitive and special. There was something alluring about the supernatural. I sat down in the armchair. My legs felt like as if they were being pulled on.

Suddenly, something caught my eye. And then, just like that, I couldn't see it anymore. It was one of those moments when you find what you are looking for, and then, you just don't see it anymore. I searched the shelf I was sure it was on. Finally, I found it.

'A-Z Vampires.'
