Okay, I believe that I have made you all wait long enough. (Or is it too soon?) Here is the REAL chapter 2! Hope you like it! I would like to say thanks to LuCyHaMilToN-lOvEs-NiCkYdRaKe and Twilight Gleek, since they were the first to review on my story. You guys just made my day! Enjoy!

Chapter 2

"Can everyone leave? I need to talk to Lucky alone for a moment." Nicholas said, his eyes never leaving mine. Oh crap, I was sooo dead. The twins were laughing as they walked pasted me. "I wouldn't be laughing you two; remember I know where you two sleep." I threatened, raising my crossbow slightly. They stopped laughing when they realized that they could end up in danger.

When everyone was out of the room, I was talking before he could open his mouth. "So Nicky, what did you want to talk about alone? Because I have places to be and things to I need to do… So make this quick. Don't want anyone waiting on me now?" I was blabbing. I really need to stop that. Nicholas didn't say anything; he just raised an eyebrow. One hot eyebrow… Cut it out Lucy! This is not the time to be drooling over Nicholas! I yelled at myself silently.

"Lucky, I am going to ask one more time where you got that crossbow." He said, taking a step towards me.

"I told you already, I got it off eBay." I said crossly as I could. Hopefully he couldn't tell that I was lying.

"Oh, and there are crossbows for sell with the Drake family crest on them?" Nicholas asked again, stepping towards me again.

"You'd be surprised of what you find online," I said, only half-lying this time.

"Don't lie to me Lucy. I can smell it when you lie to me; it smells like… how do I explain it?…. I guess the closest thing to it would be lemons and roses. Or the lemons could just have been from your shampoo." Nicholas said, sniffing the air briefly. Oh crap, this isn't good at all….

"I wasn't lying! You would be really surprised of what you would find on eBay. I saw that a woman was selling the right to name her baby, a ghost in a jar, a pretend monster, a broken laser pointer and the list goes on and on." I rambled.

"Really? A woman sold the right to name her baby? Who would do that?" Nicholas muttered, eyebrows raised.

I took a couple of tiny, quick steps back. Maybe I could distract him long enough that I could hide my crossbow. "Melissa Heuschkel couldn't decide what to name her fourth child, so she turned to eBay. Golden Palace casino won the bid for $15,500. The baby was named Golden Palace Benedetto. Poor kid, I can just think of the poor nicknames that kid has gotten." I said, still backing up. Nicholas was shaking his head in disbelief, staring off at something that he could only see. This was my only chance. I took larger steps and was almost out of the room when Nicholas said, "Where do you think you're going Lucky?"

"Would you stop calling me that?" I asked, irritated. Nicholas didn't say anything. He studied me for a long moment. When I started to get the chills, not because it was cold or how he was looking at me, it was because why he was looking at me that way. He was up to something and I didn't want to find out anytime soon. "So… I better get going. Solange wanted to talk to me and I shouldn't make her wait any longer. What kind of best friend would I be if I stayed here?" I said, stepping the rest of the way out of the room. Then I was running as fast as I could up the stairs. I didn't pause to hide my crossbow in it's usual hiding place. I would put it back there when they were all asleep. I didn't even make it all the way up the stairs. Sometimes I really hate vampires…..

Hee hee hee…. Cliffhanger! I hate them, so you probably don't like them also. But they are sooo fun write, just not to read. Hopefully, I won't keep you all waiting too long. Just remember I have school and teachers that LOVE giving me waaaayyyyy to much homework! crystallee94121, what did you mean 'Is Nicky first?'
