I woke up looked at the clock to see that is was 8:30…Meh, I just wont go to school since it started an hour ago. I started recalling last nights events. Poor Vanessa, she didn't do anything to deserve this. I should go to her house and comfort her. I walked to her house to find that she wasn't there. Instead an investigation was being held and there was caution tape all over the place and reporters and camera men. I walked up to one of the police.

"Do you know where the girl that lives here stayed at last night?"

The man nodded his head no and I started walking back to my house. Maybe she went to school, although I highly doubted it. I started walking to school anyways. Then a finger tapped my shoulder and to my surprise it was Vanessa. Her eyes were read and puffy and she smiled sadly towards me.

"Where did you sleep last night?" I asked.

"I went at my umm my cousins house."

"Oh, ok" I said knowing it wasn't true. I touched her hand and it was freezing cold, she slept outside. I knew it but decided not to mention it.

"You know you can always spend the night at my house or stay until you feel better" I told her.

"Thanks" she said and her eyes watered up she wiped them away.

"So, how come your not in school?" she asked.

"Oh, I woke up late and really didn't feel like it, plus I can't leave you by yourself, duh, what kind of friend would that make me?"

"A good one, but doing this would just make you a better one" and she hugged me and I hugged her back. She still smelt like decaying bodies, probably from answering so much questions near that house,

"Want to go back to my house, and get you cleaned up?" I asked. She looked slightly embarrassed but nodded anyway.

We walked back to my house in silence and every time a looked at Vanessa a heavy guilt placed itself upon my shoulders. Whoever did what they did was out to get me, so they did so by hurting others around me.

"So when's the funeral?" I blurted out.

"It's on Thursday"

"What day is it today?" I asked stupidly.

"Tuesday."

"Oh." Duh.

Her being so quiet was worrying me so I spoke up.

"Want to watch a movie or something"

"Sure, what do you got? Oh do you have Twilight" she asked.

Actually I did, although I never saw the movie. We only got it because Sarah is obsessed with the series. Maybe I will like it. Oh the irony, I wonder this movie implies about vampires.

"Yea, never saw it though I think its somewhere…in…here" I said while looking the a mess of CD's I usually tossed in the door when I was to lazy to put it up neatly. Finally after five long minutes I found it.

"Ah-ha! Think you could hide from didn't you, you little bastard" I said to the movie and Vanessa just laughed. It was nice to know she wasn't getting all super depressed and shit like others would. I guess she wasn't all that close to her parents but I admired her for being so strong.

I went to the DVD played and put the movie in and pressed play. I laughed at how they made the vampires looked pale but the girl named Bella was even paler.

"Don't you think Bella is a flat actor? It's like she just reads the line from her script with no emotion what-so-ever, plus she always looks like she high or on some kind of shit" I heard Vanessa hold back a laugh but then she shushed me.

"You know Edward isn't all that cute, girl just read the book and falls in love with his character. The ugliest nerd in school could have played him and everyone would still say he was hotter then Jacob." Vanessa said.

Now we were at the part where they were in a forest I guess and he was trying to scare her? Then he went out into the sun and…sparkled. I scoffed.

"What the hell?" I almost yelled "is this even age appropriate for us? I'm starting to think it's for the ages of 8 and below."

Vampires sparkling in the sun, that was so lame and stupid and retarded, I felt mocked. The average human fails to notice that the sun didn't affect Vampires in the least, all it did was make you feel the slightest uncomfortable, kind of like a rash you want to itch but cant reach. Maybe if you out to long then it would become a problem. Me? I was practically immune to the sun. I grew up with humans and my body got so used to it, it no longer bothered me. Still...sparkling vampires? God that was just horrible. Finally the movie finished.

"That was horrible" I mumbled.

"I loved it, it so romantic isn't it? I'll never have a man in my life, I'm to ugly" she said joking although I saw that she believed it.

"Pssh you're not ugly, you just hide you outer beauty. When we went dancing you could be the prettiest girl in school" I told her and she blushed.

"Let me make you over!" I said excited and feeling very childish afterwards.

"Really? You don't seem like the type to-" I cut her off.

"Are you questioning my authority?" I asked and arched an eyebrow at her.

"I'll be right".

I ran up to my room, got my curling iron, some eyeliner I never opened and mascara. I got a few clips and blush. I ran back downstairs and tossed everything on the couch. Then I went into the bathroom and got Sarah's nail polish. I usually wasn't one for doing polish or anything , I wasn't really into all the girly girly stuff but poor Vanessa. I plugged the curling iron and let it heat up. I got the blush and started working on Vanessa. She kept fidgeting.

"Stay still, if you're like this when I do your hair your going to get burned constantly" I warned.

I applied eyeliner and mascara and she already looked wonderful…then I saw her hair. I groaned. I was going to have hell untangling that. I mean her hair was pretty but it looked like she hadn't combed it in a long time. I ran to the bathroom and got a brush. When I came back she looked at me horrified and I laughed at her and started brushing the tangles out of her hair. Finally when they were done I stared to curl her hair. It felt like it took hours and we talked about a whole bunch of useless stuff.

"Umm, Cleo. Do you mind if I stay here tonight?"

"Yea sure, I don't see why not".

"Ok thanks".

I heard a thud coming from outside and frowned.

"Be right back" I told Vanessa.

I looked out the widow but saw nothing. I went outside and looked down to see a dead bird with a not tied to it's neck. Oh no, not again.

I took the note and opened it carefully. It said:

Change of plans, tonight at midnight. Your absence will determine some ones life.

I felt Vanessa coming and I hid the note forgetting about the bird.

"Oh what happened, poor thing. Lets bury it" she said picking it up. I slapped her hand down.

"It might have rabies, I'll take it" I said.

"And if you get rabies?"

"I wont get rabies, trust me" we made a tiny funeral for the bird and I hadn't realized how much time had passed. It was already starting to get dark.

I started to grow anxious around 9:30. Where was I suppose to go again, she school? Vanessa went to bed early I decided I would go to the school early. I walked slowly taking my time in no hurry to go face whatever awaited me. I headed for the front gate, once there I sat on the chairs and looked up at the schools digital clock. 10:22 pm. I still had a lot of time…I leaned back against the metal bars that surrounded my school when I heard a something crack. I shot up onto my feet listening closely and heard footsteps running in the distance. I ran after whoever was running and after a while I stopped. I strained my ears to hear anything, breathing, running, anything. Nothing was there I sighed and walked back to the school. It was already 11: 57. I waited and it was 12. no one was anywhere in sight.

"Ahhhhhh!" I screamed out in frustration.

I kept waiting anyway and when it hit 1:30 I left. Someone was trying to be a stupid prankster. They were messing with my head. I was foolish to come out here but then, what about Vanessa's parents? Well it must be someone at school right? Otherwise how might that person know my name? Maybe it wasn't even human. When I arrived home I went straight to my room. I flopped down onto the bed and got up just as quickly.

"Ow…bed hogger" I muttered. Vanessa was taking up more then half of the bed and I pushed her over a little.

I decided that I wasn't going to go to school tomorrow and found that I had a hard time sleeping. I tossed and turned and almost knocked Vanessa off the bed. When it was 7:30 Vanessa woke up and got ready for school.

"Aren't you going to get ready?" she asked.

"Nope, I don't feel like going to school today" or ever for that matter.

"Oh…ok well see you when I get back from school"

"Yea ok".

She left and the house felt empty. Sarah was never home anymore and now I was bored out of my mind. I stayed home and watched TV all day until it hit 3:30. I took money from Sarah's purse and started walking to Starbucks. I ordered a Chocolate mocha and sat down on a chair outside. I was drinking and thinking about who would have done such a thing staring out at the calm streets and the occasional dog walkers. Surely I could take him or her on right? I had pretty good fighting experience. What If it's not a human? Another vampire? Can't be, I would have smelled it. Caught up in my thoughts I didn't notice the tall figure standing in front of me. Whoever it was, was blocking my view. I looked up and saw Alex, a weird expression on his face. I then remembered what happened on the night we went dancing. Him and Blonde arguing about their relationship, about me? There was no way a vampire like him would be with a vampire like me. I sighed and pushed the thought way. I shouldn't care if he would want to be with me anyway.

"What do you want?" I asked annoyance in my tone, although I was only annoyed with myself.

"Vanessa came to school today" he said.

"Really? I had no clue" I said sarcastically, obviously Alex didn't know what sarcasm was.

"She is staying at your house is she not?" how'd he know this? "Everyone knows what happened, it was all over the news" of course, the reporters and camera men. Since when did teenagers start watching the news?

"Why didn't you go to school today?"

"I didn't feel up to it, plus Blonde would be their". Which was partially true.

"Blonde?" he said confused.

"Yea, you know that girl, I think her name is Ritz" I said knowingly exactly what her name was.

"Oh" he said bluntly "her."

"She is no longer an issue".

"W-What?" I stuttered, did he kill her?

"I told her to leave" Oh, of course he wouldn't kill her. I still had two questions that had sort of been bugging me. Well just one and another just out of curiosity. I went with the curiosity one first.

"Umm, so since you're a prince don't you have like a palace or something? I mean and if you do, why are you here?" I said it so fast it sounded like a whole bunch of jumble. Surprisingly he understood.

"Well, I am here on a mission that is taking much longer than I expected, and I do live in a mansion far away from here and have control over very much land where there are only vampire within miles. But of course we need humans so that source is available to".

"What kind of mission?" was all I could say.

"That's classified" I frowned.

"Classified?" I said. He looked at me as if something was funny.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"Why are you so different?" he asked me. Was that a good thing? I would hope so.

"Different as in how?" I seriously wanted to know if being different was good or bad. If he thought it was bad it's not like I would change for him I just wanted to know. Just out of curiosity. That's what you keep telling yourself.

"Just different in general" he said.

"Oh." I turned my face to hide my disappointment. Why am I disappointed?

"What is it?" he asked.

"I have to get going Vanessa is waiting for me at home." I looked up at him and he had an angered expression.

"Why do you try to avoid me?"

"I-I don't try to avoid you"

He turned around walked away. Ugh why me? Frustrated I walked home stomping like a little girl who didn't get her way. I saw Blonde when I was just a block from the house I planned on walking right passed her when she stepped in my way and smiled. I looked at her suspiciously eyeing her with caution.

"Hi Cleo!" she said in a high pitched voice, almost as if she were excited.

"Can I help you?" I asked coldly.

"Oh no, can a girl say hi to another girl? Well I do happen to be in a hurry. I will look forward to seeing you later. Sorry about how I acted before I was just so jealous and thought that Alex felt something for you. I was wrong, he declared his love for me yesterday and now I feel like I'm on top of the world. Maybe we can start over and become friends?"

"That's not all its going to take to get my forgiveness" I spat and walked around her.

He declared his love for her? I thought he asked her to leave. Was he lying to me…mocking me? What about the night when we were at the club. Did they know that I was there spying and faked the whole conversation. I'm just a joke to both of them. My face grew hot with anger. When I got home the door was open and I slammed it shut. I could hear weeping and I went upstairs in my room. I didn't see Vanessa but I heard her and her crying stopped suddenly. Was she holding her breath?

"Vanessa? Vanessa its me Cleo" I looked in the closet and found her hiding in the corner.

"Vanessa is something wrong?" then she did something I totally didn't expect. She screamed continuously. She threw something at me and I dodged it. She pushed out of the way and ran out the house.

I looked at the object that she threw at me and it looked like a book. I turned it over and it said diary. This must be her diary, did she think I read it? But then that's not reason to yell like a maniac. I opened it noticing there was only two entries and started to read them.

Dear Diary

I have been planning this for a long time now. Every last thing and it worked out so perfectly. Watched them in there sleep and slit there throat. I did the man first and watched him choke in his own blood. The stupid woman was asleep all this time. Oh but I wanted her to watch. I shook her and she woke with a start. She looked down at her husband not noticing me and I slit her throat to. Now they were both making gurgling noises. I sat down on the bed and began to sing a lullaby. I watched as they died slowly. Then I moved their body into the bathroom and shut the door. I washed the sheet and shampooed the carpets. Nobody even suspected me I was the one to walk her to the house and to find her poor parents dead. I let her cry on me and she was so oblivious as to who the killer was. The police started asking to many questions so I left.

Dear Diary

The girl has come to stay at my house. Tomorrow night I will plan her fat and put it into action the next night. I will attend her parents' funeral…after that -that is when I will kill her.

My mouth went dry and I stared at the entries. She thought I killed her parents, when would I have had them time? How could she even think that? My throat started to close and I thought I would die on the spot. I heard a police car in the distance. I choked back a cry; this would ruin my whole life.

Someone was framing me and I know I wasn't going to spend my whole life in jail. All the evidence pointed to me, hell it even looked like my handwriting. I looked down at my hands and saw that I was shaking. I took deep breaths to calm myself. I could here the police into the driveway. M brain told my body to move but it wouldn't. I heard as they knocked at the door, then they slammed it down seeing no one was going to answer. My window opened I saw the gorgeous man whom I talked to earlier today. I looked at Alexander and he held his hand out.

"You may choose to come back to me to my Kingdom or you can stay here" I felt water forming in my eyes.

I didn't want to lose my friends and what about Sarah. But what did it matter if all my friends would think I was a murderer. What other choice do I have?

"Choose quickly" he told me.

I could hear the shouts and order, they were checking everywhere downstairs first, thankfully this was a pretty big house but now they were making there way upstairs. I stared at his hand and hesitated. Just as I took it an armed man dressed in all black busted through the door.

"Hands up! Hand up!" he yelled at us.

I closed my eyes on concentrated on an illusion but Alex snatched me out the window and next thing you knew we were running. I heard men screaming orders in the background. Alex was still holding my hand and he was running faster then I had ever dreamed of. I struggled to keep up with his so that he wasn't dragging me along.

I heard an engine roar in the background and knew that the chase was on.
