Okay here's chap 3. I won't usually update this quickly but I'm bored
out of my head right now so here it is :)
Thanks for the reviews guys, they mean a lot! And this chapter is
dedicated to Nightgirl25 for giving me my first review :D
Oh and yeah, I don't own the Night World ;)

Walking along the deserted dirt path, Stacey let out a quiet sigh. Her
warm golden brown eyes gazed down at the floor in front of her, a
slight frown lingering on her full lips. Her mind seemed to be full of
thoughts, mostly around the same thing she always thought about. Ray.

Stacey shook her blonde head as she tried to get rid of the thoughts.
Why couldn't she just move on? Well, she knew the answer to that one
but it wasn't helping. Looking up, Stacey looked ahead, seeing the
town in the distance. It was quiet a walk but she had done it many a
times before.

As she continued forward, Stacey was distracted by her thoughts at the
sound of footsteps behind her. She didn't look back as she kept her
gaze ahead of her, trying to ignore the fact that someone was there.
It was like she could feel theri gaze burning into her back, whoever
they were. Stacey frowned as she moved her hands to her jean pockets,
quickly changing direction as she decided to take the long way around,
hoping to get the person off her trail.

It didn't work however. The footsteps could still be heard as Stacey
moved through the dirt path and towards the town. It was strange, she
thought, no one ever walked along here.
It all seemed too weird and so Stacey plucked up the courage and
turned around taking a deep breath

She was shock however to find herself looking up at a man, no a boy,
who seemed no older than 18 or 19. He had dark messy hair that was
long and looked like it needed a trim and warm dark eyes. Stacey could
tell from his incredible beauty that this boy wasn't human and surely
must be a Night person.

That was when panic struck. A Night person? Out in the deserted
countryside? No, something was wrong. What if he was from the council
and they had heard of the traitor Stacey Skylark, what if he had come
to punish the girl who broke their laws.

"Are you following me?" Stacey snapped as she raised an eyebrow,
hiding her fear as she folded her arms neatly in front of her.

"Its funny," The boy replied, his voice low but not dark or angry, it
was almost musical and his expression was warm, "That you would
immediatly jump to the conclution that I was a stalker or something,"
He added with a hint of a smirk. Staceys eyebrows pulled together as
the frown remained on her face. She was trying to work out whether he
was joking or not, so she remained quiet as she watched him.

"Maybe I am a stalker? Or perhaps Im just heading the same direction
you are? Now which seems more likely darlin?" He continued as his
smirk grew and Staceys frown deepened. She was taking an instant
dislike to this guy.

"Right," She muttered slightly impatiently as she turned away from him
and began back along the path. He couldn't be from the council, he
seemed to immaure and a smartass for that. Smirking a little at the
thought, Stacey looked up again and jumped Slightly as she saw he was
by her side.

"Since we're both going to the town, might as well walk together
right?" The dark haired boy shrugged, his hand in the pockets if his
own jeans as he tilted his head to the side a little and gave her a
cockey smile.

"The names Jack, Jack Carter," He said as he with a slight grin as he
held out his hand, but Stacey simply ignored it, "Oh and I'm a vampire
too," Jack added as he lowered his arm to his side again, "So if your
worried about me being human, then dont be, I'm part of your world."

"I thought so," Stacey muttered simply, not looking back at him as she
looked ahead. If he was part of the Night World then surely he would
know her and her family. And then he would realize she was a traitor.

"You don't know who I am?" Stacey asked as she finally glaced back at
his perfect, pale face, his dark eyes mesmorising.

"Er no," Jack said as he shrugged his shoulders a little, "Why should
I?"
Stacey shook her head a little, feeling a wave of relief. She was
right, he was a clueless jack-the-lad just like she thought.

"Stacey...Flinch," She said quietly, not daring to use he real last
name just in case he wasn't as clueless as he maked out. So she had
used Rays last name. So what?

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Stacey," Jack grinned, looking like
he had acomplished an impossible mission simply by learning her name.

"Well ill see you around," Jack shrugged as he watched her. It was
only now that Stacey realized they had arrived at the town. "Yeah,"
She replied with a slight shrug as a hint of a smile came to her lips,
"Maybe."

Stacey watched the boy give a quick wink before turning away and
dissappearing around the corner. She frowned a little as she shook her
head, continuing to walk in the opposite direction. Jack Carter. She
still wasn't sure about him but whatever it was that doubted him, she
pushed it to the back of her mind.

Hope you liked it! Please review and give me your thought :D
