Chapter One: Ordinary

CPOV

'I'm just a step away. I'm just a breath away. Losing my faith today. Falling off the edge today'

"Ugh stupid alarm clock ring tone shut up!"

I reached over to hit the snooze button, but over balanced and fell face first into the ground.

"Owww!"

I sighed and rolled over onto my back, I sighed and rolled onto my back and looked at the clock. 5.55am.

"Damn it Nathan! I NEED SLEEP!"

My phone buzzed as I picked it up. A text was sitting there from Godric.

Enjoy the sun, little one

I laughed, Godric couldn't text and yet he had a mobile so he would ask Isabel or Hugo to send one. I texted back.

Enjoy your rest, and for the millionth time I am not little! :)

I sighed again before flipping up onto my feet and running down the stairs and into the kitchen and looked around for Nath. And there he was, sitting in the darkest corner of the room, finishing his True blood.

"How was your sleep fairy?" I could hear the smirk in his voice, "Did you wake up ok?"

He laughed and placed the bottle down beside him, I could see his face now.

I glared and placed my hands on my hips "I need sleep Nath!" I grinned "Or do I need to I need to call Godric?"

He shot up and hugged me tightly "Ok ok I won't move your alarm or set it this early!"

We both laughed "Ok brother bear"

He smirked and ruffled my already destroyed hair "Alright, no fighting, no sticking up to those kids from the Fellowship, keep your phone on and I filled up the car last night." He kissed my forehead "Have a good day Fairy"

I smiled and nodded "Have a good rest brother bear"

With that he disappeared down into the basement, I turned and run up the stairs. Catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I groaned; my emerald eyes were still dull with sleep and my ebony hair was a mess!

"Shower. I need a shower" I mumbled to myself. I opened the door and got undressed and jumped in the shower "ARGH COLD COLD COLD!"

After the water finally turned hot I managed to wash my hair and body quickly and then jumped out and began my school routine, I dried my hair and pulled it into an artful bun, I rimmed my eyes with a black eyeliner, and applied a light foundation and powder and finished off with a cherry coloured lip gloss. I smiled and then dashed into the bedroom and pulled on a black pair of panties and a matching bra and searched for my skinny jeans. I pulled them on and pulled a white graphic shirt over my head and searched for my ankle boots, pulling things up and out of my way I finally spotted them and slipped them on and finally I pulled over my head my nazar. I grabbed my book bag and my phone and headed down stairs, I found sitting on the table a banana smoothie, a strawberry yogurt and a salad for lunch. I scribbled a note and slipped it under his door before sitting down and turning on the TV. I laughed, Nan Flanagan and the oh so annoying Reverend Steve Newlin, their debates were becoming more and more heated but Nan always kept her cool. I rolled my eyes as Newlin brought up the fact that vampires killed his father, mother and sister to begin war with the Fellowship, Nan just sighed. I sighed as well as I flicked off the TV and grabbed my stuff and walked outside and got into the car and reversed out. Plugged in my IPod and smiled as "Your Guardian Angel, by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus" came through the speakers.

After an hour and a half of driving I pulled into the car park at school. Tyler, Molly, Matt and Leo smiled and waved at me, I smiled back as I parked and got out of the car and walked to them.

"Hey Guys!" I smiled widely at them, hiding the discomfort that people had started to stare at me and whisper.

Molly squealed and practically knocked me over with a hug "KATIE!"

The boys laughed and gave me one armed hugs and smiles as we walked through the door. Halloween decorations were strung up everywhere; I smirked to myself I had finally convinced Godric to come trick or treating with Nath, Molly, Tyler, Reece, Leo, Cass and myself. Molly, Cass and I were going shopping on the weekend for our costumes. We walked towards out lockers and glared. Coming down the hallway in short skirts, different coloured tank tops and strappy sandals on their feet, with a gold cross hanging in their chests. Jade, Samantha and Star stopped in front of us, their arms crossed over their chests.

Jade sneered at the nazar hanging around my neck "So fang banger, what have you got planned for Halloween?"

I glared back "Jade, I am not a fang banger for the millionth time. As far as Halloween goes I am going out with my friends."

Jade laughed as I narrowed my eyes again, Mike, Scott and Kane appeared behind "Their" Girls and smirked.

I glared and squirmed slightly as I felt my phone buzz. I pulled it out but Scott tore it out of my hands and handed it to Jade.

"HEY! THAT'S MINE!" I practically growled

Jade opened the message as her sneer grew wider "From Godric. Remember little one, violence solves nothing. Who is Godric, Fang Banger?"

I smirked "Oh he's just the King of Dallas!"

Their faces fell as Jade handed the phone to Scott, she smirked "You're a stupid slut aren't you? Can't get enough from those dead men!"

I growled and lunged for Jade, only to be knocked down by Scott. The force slammed my chin into the pavement on impact, splitting my chin and slamming my forehead into the cold ground. I held my chin as I felt the blood seep into my hand. All of my friends huddled around me as Leo pulled me off the ground and held me tight, "Scott! How the hell could you could you do that. Hand her back her phone before I kick you off the team!"

Scott's eyes narrowed and took the phone off Jade and threw it to my feet "There Fang Banger. Nice and bloody for Godric" He spat Godric's name like acid of his tongue

Molly picked up my phone and slipped it into my pocket "We'll call you later ok Katie?" I nodded,

Their group walked off laughing as I wobbled in Leo's arms, "D-damn. N-Nathan's gonna be pissed"

Leo sighed and scooped me up in a bridal hold and took me to the Nurse's office. Mrs Burns gasped as she saw me "Oh Caitlin! Another incident! How horrible! Quick Leo put her on the bed"

Leo nodded and sat on the bed with me resting on his lap. Mrs Burns placed an ice pack against my forehead, I winced slightly "Ow,"

Mrs Burns was one of the few vampire supporters in the school, apart from another 2 teachers and a minority of students. Most either feared or hated them. She tilted my head up and begun cleaning my wound, it stung badly!

"Ow ow ow!" I winced more and leaned into Leo for support, he wrapped his arms around me.

Mrs Burns placed a bandage over my chin, "What do you have today sweetie?"

I blanked and looked at Leo, He smiled and answered for me "She has Spanish and Sociology; otherwise she has free studies,"

Mrs Burns nodded and dialled the front office as she wrote on a slip of paper and handed it to me "You're excused for the rest of the day sweetie. The Principal said he'd call your brother when he wakes up." She looked at Leo "You're going to drive her home and Tyler is going to follow you two and take you back to school ok Leo?"

I groaned "B-but Mrs Burns! I can't go home again!"

She nodded "Yes you can sweetie. You're a straight A student and besides, you have a concussion, you need to go home and rest without the stress of the Fellowship followers today."

I sighed in defeat as Leo picked me up again and walked out, Tyler was waiting for us and smirked "Damn kiddo you got banged up this time?" He suddenly frowned "They should be punished for what they did"

I rolled my eyes and muttered "Shut up"

Leo and Tyler laughed and walked down to the cars. Leo lifted me up and placed me on the seat and pulled the seatbelt around me "C-can we go to Godric's please?"

Leo stiffened and shook his head eventually "Sorry Kate,"

"It's ok," He does this every time I meant Godric. Could he be jealous?

Leo smiled back as I handed him the keys and we peeled out of the car park and shot off towards the house, Tyler following behind us. I stared out the window, the landmarks blurring into one.

We pulled up suddenly as I snapped out of it as Leo shoved his hand into my pocket and pulled out my phone, his hand lingering a little more than normal. I looked up at him wearily "Whatcha doing?"

"Calling Nathan. He's gonna freak out if he finds you're home alone"

I nodded "He's asleep though"

Leo ignored me and began dialling Nath.

"Hello?" Nath answered groggily

"Hey Nathan, its Leo. Katie's friend"

"What's happened!" The worry seeped through his voice

"Another incident. She's got a concussion, a badly bruised forehead and a really badly split chin,"

"WHAT!" He growled momentarily until regaining his cool, "Bring her inside and set her up on the couch. I'll call Hugo to pick us up and take us to Godric's. I don't want her alone while I sleep!"

"No problem,"

They both hung up as Leo slide out of the driver's seat and was joined Tyler as he lifted me out of the seat and into his arms. By now, my hair fallen out and cascaded around my face and was slightly ruffled, my eye liner smudged and faint traces of blood lingered on my chin and lips. Leo walked us to the door and handed Tyler the keys. He opened the door and they took me inside and set me down on the couch and placed a bottle of water beside me "Here kiddo, stay safe ok?" Leo stroked my hair once and then both of them turned to leave.

I groaned in pain "O-ow"

My phone buzzed straight away, I answered and put it on loudspeaker "Mmm? Brother bear?"

"Jesus mother loving hell Fairy! You sound so bad!"

"If it was as bad as you look. I'd be in hospital right now"

"Very funny fairy. Hugo's going to be here any moment so he's going to put you in the car first and then send down my coffin ok? I love you Katie!"

I mumbled "Me too brother bear, see you in a few hours."

He hung up as I stared at the ceiling for a few minutes and then someone knocked on the door.

"Caitlin? It's Hugo?"

I mumbled "It's open!"

Hugo opened the door and stepped inside followed by two burly looking men. I glanced at them as they carried in a coffin for my brother; Hugo came up and crouched beside me with a soft smile "Hey"

I looked back at him fully; his face saddened "You really copped it this time didn't you?"

I nodded weakly "I-I wanna sleep"

He nodded and picked me up, and set me in down in the back of the car. At the same time the two men came out wheeling my bother with them. He was placed in the trunk as Hugo opened the front door leaving the two men to go back to their own car. I curled into the cold leather and welcomed a dreamless sleep.
