"And what do you thing your doing little missy?" said the vampire, holding me in a tight grip but not to the point where it would bruise.

Andrew was struggling under me and it was hard to keep him down considering one of my hands were being held back. I stared into the beautiful vampires eyes mesmerized but quickly realized he was stopping my pursuit.

"What the hell is your problem? Get off of me" I said while trying to rip my hand free from his grip.

"I'm afraid you're going to have to get off my cousin first" he said.

I looked down at Andrew and at back at the mysterious man still gripping my wrist. They looked nothing alike. Andrew had blond hair blue eyes, which were red at the moment and he stood at about 5ft 7, not very tall and was very skinny. On the other hand this unknown vampire was about 6ft 2 with pitch black hair that was long enough to just cover his ears, he had greenish hazel color to his eyes, and was lean but I could see the slight muscles through his shirt.

I realized he wasn't going to let me go until I got off Andrew. With my other hand I quickly brought my fist to Andrews head and knocked him out cold. I quickly got up and stared at those perfect eyes, waiting for him to let my arm go. He raised an eyebrow at me and released my arm slowly.

I thought about whether I should kill Andrew now that my arm was released but decided against it. I didn't want to be back in this place anytime soon. Then realizing exactly what I was here for I felt myself sneer in disgust without my brain giving the command.

"Why are you here?" I asked in a deathly tone.

"For my cousin of course, it is a pleasure to meet you" he said politely and held his hand out.

"For your c- You must be insane! You're going to defend that… thing? It's the people like you I don't understand. Do you even know what he did? Either you don't or you are in the wrong court because-"

"Did I ever say I was going to defend him?"

"You said you were here for your cousin"

"You didn't answer my question"

"No" I muttered and felt like a little child being caught stealing cookies from the cookie jar.

I looked deep in those eyes and saw amusement in them. He's mocking me. If that's how he wants to be then so be it. I closed my eyes and willed a vampire to appear behind me, a stake in each hand. Then the vampire was charging and Andrew's cousin striking out with the stakes.

I reopened my eyes and smiled inwardly at what I saw. Andrews's cousin fighting…with himself. I was an illusionist. So far I have been able to keep my illusions up for about two minutes. Then it would lift. I saw Andrew's cousin struggle with himself, I made it easy on him. If I wanted I could make him feel the pain although nothing would really be happening to him. I then saw my cousin rushing towards me.

"OH MY GOD! Are you ok? I didn't know what to think one moment that kid was on top of you the next thing you know you are standing here smiling with a broken pew and no one is in here! Everyone evacuated the building I was so worried and", she turned to Andrew's cousin still fighting with himself and I swear she almost drooled "who is that? And what did you do?"

Her voice rose at the last part and I gave her an innocent look. She glared in return. Whatever.

"I didn't do anything. He was mocking me and my imagination got the best of me".

"Lift it" she demanded.

"No"

"Don't be stubborn; what did he even do to you anyway?"

"That's none of your business" I said because in honesty I was acting like a child but didn't want to admit it. I sighed and lifted the illusion even though there was probably a good 30 seconds left.

I saw as he suddenly stopped moving all over the place swinging at nothing. He was breathing hard; even though vampires didn't need to breathe it came naturally as if we were human. I took a deep breath as he looked my way. His jaw clenched and his muscles rippled beneath his shirt. I could tell he was angry took a slight step back as he started walking towards me.

His eyes were a deep red and now he was right in front of me so close I could feel his breath on my face. I stood there paralyzed as his hands held my throat. He didn't put pressure or anything it just rest there.

At the corner of my eye I saw a blur and my cousin was touching Andrew's cousins back slightly. Her power was that in a single touch she could see everything that person seen…only if she wanted. Her eyes rolled back into her head and when they were finally back to there normal state she threw herself onto the floor bowing muttering apologies. I stared, astonished. Now what would make her do a stupid thing like that?

Andrew's cousin turned around to see my cousin and his hand left my throat. He looked at my cousin and watched her on the floor. I ran to her and tried pulling her up.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, get up".

"Get down" she muttered under her breath only so that I could hear.

Just then I heard a lot of footsteps running this our way and there were about 8 vampires in the doorway. They saw me and started to rush towards me. All of their fangs were bared. Andrew's cousin held up his hand and they all stopped in an instant. Confused I looked in Andrew's cousin's face searching for answers but there was no expression on his face. He looked cold and hard, nothing to what I had just seen not to long ago.

I heard softer footsteps coming this way and saw a little girl about 7 years of age with long blond hair and chubby round cheeks. I could tell she was a vampire. Andrew's cousin turned around and I saw his eyes soften. She ran his way and none of the vampires tried to stop her. She jumped into his arms and they hugged each other before he set her down and ruffled her hair.

What the hell is going on here, a family reunion? The little girl looked my way and a big grin appeared on her face.

"Is that your new girlfriend…she's pretty" she announced loud and clear.

I felt myself blush and Andrew's cousin smiled at my uneasiness.

"Get up, woman".

My cousin got up and I realized this person must be very important.

"P-pr-Prince Alexander, my apologies m-m-my cousin, she is v-very sorry".

My eyes widened as I realized just who this person was. I could be killed for my stupid and childish actions, what was I thinking? I almost killed his cousin. I stood there dumbfounded. I looked over to where Andrew's body was supposed to lay and it wasn't there. I looked frantically and looked at the prince…Alexander. He glared at me…or something behind me and that was the last thing I saw before I fell to the floor.

I woke up and stared at a ceiling…my ceiling. I looked at the clock and it was 8 am. Shit, I'm going to be late for school. I went to the bathroom and took a nice hot shower. I ran back into my room and quickly put on some grey skinny jeans, my clack vans and a black V neck shirt. I put on the necklace that was heart shaped that I was told my mom had given to me. I grabbed my backpack and rushed out the door.

I went downstairs and went outside only to find out Sarah's car wasn't their. She left me. Whatever, Id much rather run anyway. I took out my phone and looked at the time, school starts in 5 minutes and it took at least 10 to get their when driving by car, but then again that was only if we were following the speed limit. I started to run and felt as the wind whipped my hair around. Ten minutes turned into 5 and I got there just as the bell rang and I slowed to a stop. I saw my best friend walk towards me. We started walking towards our first period class which was Chemistry.

"Cleo! You didn't call me last night! You will never believe what happened to me last night".

Caren was my best friend and also human. I smelt blood and soap although it was very faint on her. My eyes widened, but then I put on an earnest expression as if I didn't know what she was about to tell me.

"You know how I told you about me and Brian?"

"Yes…"

"Well last night I went over to his house and he was watching T.V with his shirt off. I mean I know we've been dating for some time now but he seemed so relaxed at sexy. Anyways we went up to his room and umm…"

She started to blush, and I said nothing. I didn't approve of her having sex but she seemed so happy I decided not to say anything.

"You had sex?" I said with surprise in my voice.

"Yes, you don't know, at first it hurt but then it was like magic. You want details?".

"No, no thanks I want to keep my breakfast in my stomach" I said even though I didn't have breakfast.

"Oh well, your loss" she smiled.

I saw Brandon coming our way and I smiled. I knew he had a crush on me but couldn't return his feelings. Sure he was sweet and kind and good looking but that was just in the friendship zone. I knew him to well and he's almost dated every girl in the school, leaving a trail of broken hearts behind him.

Plus he was currently dating some girl names Reece.

"Hello ladies, Cleo, Karen."

He came between us a linked his arms through ours. The bell rang and we went into Chemistry. The class was pretty boring and I drew doodles in my note book the whole time. Finally the bell rang and I walked to my next class which was just next door. I loved math because it was so easy and hated science because it was a bunch of B.S. I had pre calculus and was a junior. My birthday is in 3 weeks in October the 16th. That would make me 17, finally.

The teacher let us in and I noticed I kept hearing whispers of the same subject. All around the class room people were talking about a new kid.

"Did you see him? He is so hot I almost melted on the spot when I saw him"

"I know, I thought I was going to faint"

Most of what I heard was similar to these conversations and Pre calculus went by in a breeze.

Finally the bell rang and it was time for lunch. I sat with my best friend Caren, Brandon, Vanessa, Brian, Anna and Kimberly. I was the first to sit down at our corner since I didn't eat human food that much.

As I passed by I saw seniors and juniors glance my way examining me. I was use to it by now because I was a vampire and vampires were always beautiful. Jealous girls shot daggers at me and I ignored them and sat down. I scanned the cafeteria to look for anyone who might be new, I gave up after I found no one. Brandon came next with a sub sandwich in his plate. He had a determined expression on his face and I wondered why.

"What's up?" I asked

"I sort of wanted to talk to you"

"Ok?"

He got up went around the table grabbed my hand and took my towards the hallways which were now empty.

"I've wanted to talk to you" he said.

"Yeah I got that part". I didn't like where this was heading.

"Actually I just wanted to show you".

He put his hands on my waist and walked forwards so that I was walking backwards till my back was against a locker. He brought his body closer to mind started sucking on my neck. Shivered with pleasure but knew this wasn't right. This was my body responding, not my heart.

"Brandon this isn't right" I tried to shove away slightly without throwing him across the hall. As a result he brought by body closer to his and started sliding his hands up my shirt.

"We're going to get in trouble c'mon stop".

Then Brandon was off of me and on the floor in a matter of seconds his face bright red in anger. Someone was standing in front of me.

"She said stop" a somehow familiar voice said.

Brandon's eyes widened and he walked away as fast as he could. My savior turned around and my breath caught in my throat. It was a vampire, the sexiest/handsomest I've ever seen.

He took my hand and kissed it.

"Alexander at your service" he whispered before walking away leaving me frozen in my spot.

Why does he seem so farmiliar?
