Chapter Seven

"What are you doing here?" my ex-best friend, Lilly Dragimor stood in front of me with happiness evident in her eyes.

"I came looking for you…you look great. Fantastic even" she was fidgeting with her pink blouse, which meant she was nervous.

"Thanks, well I have to go" with a nod, I left.

"What happened between us? When we got…taken, we were fine and now…"she grabbed my arm and tried to pull me back. Her voice sounded on the verge of tears.

"Nothing happened to us. We change Lil. That's it" looking back at her, I could tell she really changed over the past two years. She was taller, slimmer and even sexier. But, she didn't have my curves. Turning away again, I tried to get away.

"I was unconscious, most of the time. I don't even remember escaping! They moved you to a different room…Tanner had no idea where you were, he took me and he was hoping the guardians would come and rescue you. But, when they arrived they saw the message and…your mom cried for months. I am so, so sorry I could keep awake and get you" even when I didn't tell her, she knew why I was mad. That's what best-friends are for, right?

"I forgive you" I whispered, so softly I didn't think she heard me. Until she hugged me from behind. She let go after a few minutes.

"I saw the video of you and Jason" I started chuckling, then full out laughing. It were these moments that I lived for, and I was so happy that I could experience it again.

"Did I do awesome? Listen, I really have to go…how about one of those sleepovers we used to do tomorrow? It'll be fun, catching up, just us two" a genuine smile spread across her lips as she nodded enthusiastically. I walked away after biding goodnight, and I made my way to my dorm. Only, when I got there, everything was trashed. My drawers were ripped apart and clothes were torn. My bed was nearly ripped in two, and glass was everywhere. There was, however, and small message on my only mirror that wasn't smashed;

I know what you're doing, and you better stop. The Strigoi will rule the world once again… but that can't happen with the great Hathaway's in the way. Sincerely; your worst nightmare.

P.S. Run while you still can

This girl sounded delightful; not only did she threaten me, but she threatened my whole family. I will find this girl/boy, and I will do the deed of torturing them. I started picking up my clothes, when there was a knock at my door.

"Who is it?" I called, the only answer I got was more persistent knocking. I put down all the clothes, and opened the door to, Dimitri.

"Oh, it's you" my tone was disappointing, even though I was only playing. I stepped aside and closed the door when he was fully inside.

"You were expecting someone else?" his tone was playful, but I felt I had to answer it.

"Well, anyone's better than a guardian, especially when you've been doing…things" he watched me carefully, but I kept a blank expression that mother dearest taught me.

"So what do you want? Has Tasha been trying to compel you?"

"Multiple times actually, and I need your help" he looked around my room with disgust. (What happened here?"

"I moved in, doesn't it feel roomy?" I didn't want him catching on to what was happening, since Kirova still hasn't told any of the guardians.

"Need my help with what? Drugs? 'Cause I don't deal with that shit, Rachel Milla down the hall does"

"No, no drugs of any sort. In fact, nothing illegal, I just want your help in getting your mother back. Wait, why am I asking her daughter for advice?"

"I'm on your side, anyways. All we need to do is fake an accident; like me falling down a trench and you miraculously find me. And then, you'll gain moms trust, and you will get 'special attention', if you get my drift" I used quotation marks with my fingers when I mentioned 'special attention'. He smirked, before looking disgusted.

"You are her daughter, aren't you?"

"Of course, now, come back tomorrow an hour after school finishes and I'll have an idea by then. So, please quietly exit my room" I made a sweeping motion towards my door. He stepped out quietly, thanking me for helping him, before I went back to cleaning my room. About half way through cleaning up, I got a text from Alik.

Come to my room for a little t&r xx meet u there in 5

Truth and Dare? Hmmm, these people haven't seen me play dirty; this will be great! Getting dressed in black skinny jeans and a red tank, I slipped out of my door and made my way to Alik's. When I got there, Jason answered the door.

"Couldn't get enough of me? Everyone comes back begging for more…everytime" if I had something to eat five minutes ago, I would have thrown it all up! Something was terribly wrong with this boy.

"Says the guy with a chode" I whispered, slipping past him and greeting everyone in the room. Alik was in the corner mingling with a cherry red haired dhampir girl. She was taller than me, but smaller than Alik. Her piercing grey eyes were wide with curiousness, and her figure was a little sloppy. But, she was perfect for Alik. Other than the red head, Lilly was also there. And Tanner, Ella and Jackson were there mingling with each other. When Tanner saw me, and roared with happiness and gave me a bear hug. Tanner is the buffest dhampir I've ever seen; he puts tanks to shame. With his blonde hair, blue eyes and devilish good looks, it was hard not to have a crush on him. But, I manage, since we've never gone out, and never will; he's just not my type. Next, Ella and her petite Moroi form gave me a hug. Her black hair and blue eyes, it was evident she was an Ozera. Apart from being Lilly's cousin, she was also one of my best friends. She was taller than me, with model legs and the frame for one; I was always jealous. And last was Jackson, with the lankiest but quicker than ever dhampir I've seen in years. He hasn't filled out yet, but he will, no doubt. His sandy blonde hair and washed out green eyes made him look surprisingly good. He was around 6'1" and was like a second brother to me.

"Get ready to be embarrassed for eternity" Alik announced after walking about from red hair, and sitting down; starting up the circle. I sat next to Lilly and Tanner, who sat next to little miss red, who sat next to Alik, who sat next to Jackson, who sat next to Jason who then sat next to Ella.

"Who's going first?" Alik asked in a sugary-sweet tone.

"Me! Me! Me! Me!" little red announced. Everyone looked at her happy-go-lucky attitude like it was a disease.

"I'm sorry, who are you?" I may have been a little too rude, but she didn't show that she was affected by my tone.

"I'm Abby. I transferred here a year ago, and is now cheer captain"

"Wait, we have a 'cheer squad'? Since when?"

"Since you left; Kirova thought it was a great 'academic' curricular activity" Jackson stated with a shudder. I couldn't help but chuckle.

"On with the game; Abby, chose your victim" Alik shouted over everyone's chatter.

"Okay…Lexi, truth or dare?" I really wanted to choose dare, but I needed then to think I would chicken out of everything.

"Truth?" it came out more of a question, which would work with my act.

"Okay, have you ever had sex? If you have, who was the best?" Pfft, too easy.

"Yes, I have. And it was with this guy, Jim or Gerald…something like that" everyone looked a little stunned that their little Lexi had grown up, but there was only one who looked down right outraged; Jason. Yeah, payback is a real bitch.

"Your turn!" Abby exclaimed a little too excited for my taste.

"Okay, Jason, truth or dare?" I put on the puppy dog stare, just to make him chose dare.

"Dare, I'm no chicken" his male pride was suffocating me.

"I dare you to…this is hard. Oh, I dare you to walk in on Kirova dressing and tell her you want to have rough and dirty sex with her. Tell her to put on a Western accent too, because it turns you on" everyone was laughing like hyenas, except Jason and me. I wasn't even going hard on him. But, I don't want him to suffer that bad because I hate him. Or do I? No, I'll leave that for another time. Slowly, he got up and walked to the door.

"Someone go with him, and record it!" Tanner shot up like a rocket, and followed Jason out the door, video camera in hand.

"So, now that they're gone; tell us what it was like being in a blood-whore community" Abby looked engrossed with whatever I was about to tell her. Everyone gave her a 'shut-the-hell-up' look while I was flabbergasted. Why would she want to know this? And how the hell am I supposed to come up with something like that?

"Well, they didn't feed on me because I was too young, but instead I tended the injured dhampirs, who got in the way of fights. There were regular fights, and anyone was lucky to get out of them. A week before they wanted to feed off of me, I ran and escaped. My good friend taught me a few skills while I was there, and thanks to him I made it out alive"

"Who was your friend?" was I allowed to tell them about Ryan, even if it was a different story to how we met? I'd say so…

"Is, he is still my friend. And I don't know if you know him; Ryan Blake" everyone's jaws dropped as they stared at me.

"Ryan Blake? The guy who ran away from Court? He is apparently the best guardian out there! What moves did he show you? Can you teach us?" everyone was asking me all these questions that made my head spin.

"Shut up! You're all giving me a migraine"

"Sorry" they all said in sync. Ten or so minutes of silence later, and Tanner ran in laughing hysterically at the video in his hand. Without warning he came up and hugged me tight.

"Thank you for daring him to do that" he laughed in my ear. After setting me down, he plugged in the camera, and we watched the video; Jason was standing in front of Kirova's room, and then he knocked. Five seconds later, Kirova was standing in her robe, clutching it for dear life. You could tell Tanner was hiding behind a plant, because leaves kept getting in the way of the camera.

"Ellen…you look ravishing tonight; perfect for our night full of rough and dirty sex" she looked horrified before turning a shade of red that was too ugly to mention.

"Oh, and when you scream my name, please use a western accent" he leaned in closer to her, and whispered in her ear, "It's turns me on…" after that, all you hear is her screaming at the top of her lungs about 'crushing on his teachers' and 'having sex at school'. You could tell Tanner was trying not to laugh and blow his cover. After that, Kirova Led Jason to her office for a long talk. Then, the camera went black.

"That was amazing! I love your dares" Lilly exclaimed while trying to calm her breathing.

"Glad you're not the only one" The one and only Jason Zeklos was at the door with a murderous expression, looking at me…
