I'm sorry that the edited chapter took forever to put up. I've been busy, plus I suffered minor techinical difficulties. Anyhow, I hope you continue to enjoy the story. -Marner

After the bell rang she walked out and through the halls. She managed to get away from Kenny by hiding amongst the sea of students. She watched everyone around her, ready to attack if need be. People were standing around, doing what the usually do. Girls would stand in groups and chat aimlessly about life, and a few would walk by her. Everyone seemed to walk in a pack; none of them were ever alone. There were doors everywhere and sets of lockers painted orange. She read the doors carefully, unknowing where to go. Everything looked the same; there was little differentiation between them.

She heard another bell ring; the kids seem to take notice. Several of them headed through the doors and into their classrooms. Michel turned down another hallway quickly. A couple had captured her attention. They were atop of each other, kissing. She found herself mesmerized by them. She was more impressed that humans could do that in public.

She closed her blinked her eyes a few times. She couldn't understand the nature of humans. She constantly wondered what humans found so fascinating about being that close to one another. Late at night the guards and some of the scientists would watch shows that presented nothing else. It was the only thing she had never experienced in her life, but secretly wanted to.

"What are you staring at?" A feminine voice asked.

"Huh?"Michel muttered coming to her current reality.

"I asked what you are staring at." It was the girl that she had been watching. Both her and the male were staring at her.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Michel responded.

She watched the two chuckle and walk off. Michel shook her head and continued to walk down the hallways. She couldn't figure out her way through the strange place. She noticed several people glancing at her strangely.

Michel was soon pushed backwards by a slightly strong force. She fell to the floor and looked up. She saw a tall blonde, blue eyed girl. Her long hair was tied in a pony tail. She blew out of her mouth and something pink came from her lips. It formed a small bubble that soon popped. The blonde haired girl was surrounded by two other girls.

"Well I can see you still don't know how to get out of my way. I thought you'd never show your face at this school again." The blonde haired girl said smirking.

"Am I not allowed here?" Michel asked curiously. She watched the group of girls laugh at her. They must have formed a pack. Michel noticed they wore similar types of outfits, overly short skirts, and low cut tops. The outfit showed off their forms extremely well.

"Well, why don't you just stay out of our way and we'll see," she said walking around Michel. The other girls followed her.

Michel watched them walk off and turn down the hallway. Another bell rang and several kids ran through the doors. Soon she was alone in the hallway. No one was around anymore. No more packs of humans.

Michel's stomach began to rumble with hunger. She knew what she wanted, just not how to get it. She walked aimlessly through the hallways in search of something to eat. Since the packs of humans were gone, it would be easier to attack.

"Hey! You are supposed to be in class young lady." Michel slowly turned around to see an old female. She was plump for her age. Her black hair had a grey streak in it, and she wore thin glasses.

"I'm sorry." was all that could come out of Michel's mouth.

The lady breathed in deeply and walked over to her. "Ok, you know where you need to go."

"I do?" Michel asked.

"Don't get smart with me young lady. Now march." The lady demanded!

"March, why? I didn't do anything wrong did I? What did I do?" Michel asked nervously.

She was quickly reminded of her past life. She had to march through some of the most dangerous territory to show off her skills. It always frightened her. She never liked it, never liked them.

"Stop this behavior and march!" The lady gave her a small shove forward.

Michel didn't think for another second, as she turned to face the lady. Before the lady could ask any questions, she had grabbed a hold of her head and forced it around, breaking the neck instantly. The lady fell to the ground. Michel picked up the body and quickly carried it away. She opened a large door and was lead to a dark basement under the school. She locked the door behind her. She walked down the short steps, and placed the body in a back corner of the dark room.

She quickly looked around, to make sure it was secure. Then without a second thought she took her first bite. She bit into the lady's neck and chewed. Soon she began eating like a true monster. Just like the way she used to eat. Only it was a cow, this time it was human. There wasn't much difference, only there was less meat. The flesh was even much more tender and juicy. She enjoyed the heart most of all. It was full of blood. Once she had finished, she hide the bones inside a large box. No one would ever suspect her, why should they? She stood up and looked at her clothes. She was covered in blood.

She quickly ran up the steps and unlocked the door. She walked around the empty hallway. She managed to hide from a few misplace students. She managed to find her way into the girl's bathroom. Michel did her best to remove the blood stains, but it wasn't working to well. She looked up and stopped what she was doing. She heard girl's talking outside the bathroom door. She quickly ran into a bathroom stall to hide. The bathroom door opened. She carefully looked through the cracks of the stall door. The same blonde haired girl and her friends walked inside.

"Can you believe that she came back to school today? I mean she should have committed suicide by now," the blonde girl said.

"I know," one of her friend's replied", and did you see how she was dressed. What a freak."

"I know, I find it hard to believe that she thinks she's popular around here, just because a few people talk to her. Well, she won't be here much longer."

"Oh what do you have in mind?" Her friend asked putting away something she had finished applying.

"Well, let's just say she won't even have her dork best friend as a friend anymore. I will make sure to destroy her reputation here forever. She will never show her face here again."

"Oh you are bad," the friend replied. Both girls giggled as they walked out of the bathroom.

Michel slowly walked out of the bathroom stall. She wasn't sure what they were talking about, she had no clue about what to make of these young humans. They had their own style, their own behaviors. It was something she knew nothing about. But she wanted to learn, she had to learn in order to keep her hideout a secret.

She managed to crawl through the bathroom window, with a lot of effort. She found a way to get back to her house without being seen. She had finally made it to her current hideout. The back way only took an estimated two hours, but it was better than being spotted.

Michel looked around and made a jump for her bedroom window. She leapt but only made it halfway up. She tried to hold on by placing her claws inside the wood. Her weight forced her back downwards. After a few seconds she let go, and fell to the ground.

She took in a deep breathe and tried again. This time she was able to climb up and was able to crawl through the window. Inside her current bedroom, she quickly took off her clothes and redressed herself.

She carefully walked downstairs to make sure no one had heard her. The previous Michel's mother was asleep on the kitchen counter with a large glass bottle in her hand. The father was gone. Michel went back to her room and hid her clothes covered in blood.

Michel snuck back out of the house and began walking around town. She eventually came to a large building that looked appealing to the eye. She noticed people walking inside the building, and some people walking out. It appealed to her curiosity, and she walked toward the doors. The glass doors moved to the side, on their own. She passed through them and entered inside the building. Michel was amazed. She saw several people walking around and even noticed a moving stairway.

This was a mall, she had heard about them before. This was just her first time visiting one. She had always wanted to visit the place that she heard about so much. It sounded like the perfect gathering for human beings.

She walked in and out of stores with great admiration. She looked at every item in each store. Michel soon walked through a large doorframe. It lead into a store called 'Rent-A-Video'. A lady walked around her carrying a bag full of items. She looked to see two guys behind the counter.

"Well, can I help you?" One of them asked.
