"Just a friend from my school, we never really got along." Chace explained.

"Oh." I said, not quite believing him.

"Come on; let's go something to eat, for you." He said, grabbing my hand and we both went over to the café they had in the arena and I got coke and Chace just bought a water bottle for himself. I was getting a bit suspicious of his eating habits, till now I hadn't seen him eat at all. And if he was on a diet… lets just not bring that up. I was just sipping my drink while Chace was talking to someone on the phone. I turned away from the counter, surveying the crowded place. I noticed that the girl, Rhea was nowhere to be seen. I saw Samantha trying to pick up a bowling ball, but was failing; I watched as Landon sauntered over to her and helped her with it. An unknown smile spread across my lips as I watched them both.

The certainly did make a good couple.

I sighed as I felt exhaustion wash over me. I turned to Chace who was checking something on his cell now.

"Hey, when are we going home?" I asked, stifling a yawn. He frowned.

"Why? Did you not find bowling fun?" He asked. It was my turn to frown now.

"What? No, I never said- I am really tired and I'm like in desperation need of sleep." I explained.

"Oh, you want me to drop you?" He asked. I smiled, shaking my head.

"Nope, I'll take the bus and can you tell Samantha that I'm leaving? I don't really want to, um, disturb them." I said, gesturing towards Samantha and Landon, who currently in a lip lock. I made a face at their public display of affection then I glanced at Chace, who looked impatient. I grabbed my drink from the counter and threw in into the nearest garbage can.

"Are you sure?" He asked. I nodded. He leaned in and I got that panicky feeling again but it quickly subsided as Chace's lips grazed my cheek. I grinned at him and then headed over to the exit of the area. I walked out of the doors without a second glance backwards.


As I stepped out of the arena I took out my cell and speed dialed Ryder.

"Hello?" His deep voice floated through the phone. I closed my eyes and smiled, peacefully.

"Hey" I greeted him. I started walking towards my Porsche.

"Rhea, where are you?" Ryder demanded, I snickered and took out my car keys and tossed them around.

"Calm down, babe. I'm on my way home." I said. He sighed, exasperated.

"Next time please take one of the guards with you or at least tell me before you leave." He scolded his voice stern. I shook my head, grinning.

"It's been noted, Boss" I joked. I could almost picture him rolling his eyes.

"What am I going to do with you? Or that stupid brother of mine and his stupid, stupid friends who are trashing the whole place right now, you know sometimes I wish these idiots could actually get hurt, I would happily do the honor - Hey! Aiden, stop! Rhea, come home now." He rushed, and then before she could reply, he shut the phone. I giggled to myself and was just about to sit in my car hen someone caught my eye.

"Hey Sofia!" I called out. Her head snapped up and swiveled in the direction. She hesitated but started walking towards me.

"Hey. Are you leaving?" I asked when she reached me. She pursed her lips and then slowly nodded.

"Can I drop you off or" I wrinkled my nose in disgust. "Are those idiots going to?" I asked.

"Um, no I was actually going to take the bus." She said, her eyebrows furrowing in deep thought.

"Come on, I'll drive you home?" I asked, hopefully. Sofia bit her lip.

"You are Chace's friend, right?" She asked, cautiously. I bit back a snort but nodded anyways. Friends? Not even close. I thought, amused.

"Then, I would really appreciate the ride." She replied, grinning at me. I was taken back at how beautiful this human really was. She was like glowing. I shook away all my thoughts and beamed right back at her.

"Hop in, then."

A couple of minutes and directions later, we were on the road. Sofia as I had noticed was pretty entertaining, except when sometimes she would zone out and then afterwards be quiet. It just made you want to know what she was thinking about.

"So, may I ask you why you were taking the bus when you had a bunch of blubbering idiots with you?" I asked, breaking the silence.

"Oh, I wasn't felling good so I decided to leave a bit early and that's it. I also didn't want to disturb them, while they were having a good time." She replied, shrugging. I looked at her, confused.

"And that boy, Chad. He didn't offer to ride you home?" I asked, curious.

"His names actually Chace and he did." She answered, sounding a bit defensive.

"Okay, but he didn't press on the matter, right?" I asked and when she didn't answer I continued. "Some kind of friend he is."

"Actually, we're dating." She corrected me, weakly.

"Then some kind of boyfriend, he is." I repeated. She just started at her hands in her lap. I wonder is she knows about them being bloodsucking vampires. I thought. Judging by her look of utter confusion when I had called Chace a leech, I didn't think she knew. I pulled up in front of her house.

"There, home sweet home… Well, for you." I said, smiling at her. She grinned at me.

"You want to come inside?"

"I'd rather not; my fiancé is starting to send death threats to me." I mused, waving me phone as proof, in the air. Sofia laughed and then took out her own phone.

"Can I have your number?" She asked. I nodded, enthusiastically and added myself as a contact in her phone. I waved good bye to her and then left.

A little while later, still in my car I took out my phone and dialed a number. After a couple of rings the person picked up.

"Hello?" Someone said into the phone.

"Hello- Wait, who is this?" I asked, confused.

"Huh? Who are you? OhmyGawd! Baby, are you cheating on me? I swear-"The banshee was cut off by someone snatching the phone from her. A melodic voice took its place. And Rhea was thankful for it.

"Hello? And Linda get out of my room! No, I don't want to have it with you again, that was just torture. Get. Out" He yelled, annoyed. His voice was cut off, again by someone screeching and sobbing in the back. But then it was back to normal.

"Hey Rhea"

"Why, hello Luciano."


I entered my house and closed the door behind me, making sure that it was locked. Then I dumped all of my stuff on the floor then threw myself on the sofa. And slowly I drifted off to sleep.

My last thoughts lingering on a certain crest with wings.

One thing I was unaware of was that if I had paid a little more attention in Rhea's car. I would have noticed the very same crest on a similar looking cloak in her backseat…

It's kind of short, but it's all I can do right now and thank you for your awesome reviews so pumpkin pasties and butter beers to EVERYONE!
