Thank you very much and please continue to read and review because there are more chapters to come =)
I don't remember ever giving out my real name to anyone but this guy just shouted it out in front of everyone! I looked at him and quickly responded.
"Sorry but I think you have me mistaken as somebody else"
"But I'm sure you're her, you look just like her when we were younger"
"No my name is Lyla Thompson, maybe I have a doppelganger or something" I said as I took my assigned seat at the back of the class.
When I sat down a boy next to me laughed.
"Don't mind him, he's been talking about this Lyla Henderson person for a while saying how he wishes he could meet up with her again and how they were the best of friends along with her twin sister. My name is Logan Peters" the boy said then smiled.
When I looked at him I realized he had an irresistible smile that complimented his eyes. I started for a few minutes and then he laughed again. Realizing I was being rude I blushed and shook my head.
"Sorry it's just I feel like I know you from somewhere" Oh my god! I can't believe I just stared at him, yeah great way to start a new school year! Let's creep the possible first friend I have by staring at him! Smooth move Lyla. I rolled my eyes in my mind and he laughed then smiled. I gave him a weird look, something amused him as if he read my mind.
"I had the same feeling, would you like to have lunch together? I could introduce you to some friends of mine and show you around the school"
"I would but I have to go meet up with my sister at lunch. We have no classes together this semester so lunch is the only time we have to talk"
"I wouldn't mind if she came too" he smiled.
God his smile was amazing. It was like I was being hypnotized by his smile.
"Alright then it shouldn't be a problem, where should we meet?"
"How about by the fountain, I'll introduce you"
I nodded and then the bell rang. As I got up and gathered my stuff the boy who knew my full name came over. He was around 6'2 with medium brown hair and dark brown eyes"
"Sorry about what happened in the beginning of class. You look so much like her and you even have the same first name. My name is Mathew David" Realization hit me, he was the little boy Kailey and I used to play with when we were younger before that incident when we lost our mother and brother.
"Mattie?"
"I knew it was you, why did you lie?"
"I can't tell you right now but you should meet me afterschool and we'll hang out"
He nodded in understanding "so how is your mother and little brother?"
I looked away "They passed away a couple of months after you left town"
"I'm sorry to hear"
"I'm better now, but we have to get going or we'll be late for our next class"
He nodded and smiled. "I'm glad I was able to find you again"
I smiled and ran to my next class.
I entered the classroom and handed my slip to the teacher again then took my seat. I can't believe I met up with Mattie again. Maybe things are taking a turn for the better, I have a new friend and an old friend. I wonder if Alexander attends this school too.
After class I went to my locker to put my books away and meet up with Kailey. When I met up with her I noticed that she has made a few friends too. There were three guys standing with her as she smiled and waved at me.
"Lyla I want you to meet a few friends I made in class, this is Evan, Blake and Kai"
One guy was 5'8 with blonde hair tied back into a small pony tail and blue eyes. The second guy had short black hair with blue eyes and was around 6'0. The third guy looked older but that could be because he was 6'3 with long black hair also tied back and brown eyes. I smiled. I was happy that my sister opened up and met a few people without me.
"Nice to meet you, please make sure she stays out of trouble"
"Lyla!" Kailey pouted. "I'm not the bad twin here, who's the one who gets us in trouble and makes us run for dear life?"
I laughed. "oh come on a few little pranks on our older brother is nothing"
"That's what you say now but when he's chasing us, you're the one who runs and hides"
The guys laughed. "Not as tough as you act like you are hm?"
I looked at Evan and glared at him. He had a wide eyed expression and hid behind Kai. I laughed and smiled. "Neither are you" Then I looked at Kailey again. "Come on I want you to meet my friend too"
"I kind of made plans with the guys I hope its okay"
"They can come too" I smiled.
Kailey smiled back. "Alright, do you guys want to come with us?"
Blake answered this time "Sure where to?"
"The fountain outside" There was a look on his face of sudden disgust, on all three of the guys faces and I couldn't understand why.
"what's wrong with the fountain?"
"nothing really just a few guys we don't like to hang with are there"
"but that's where I was told to meet my friend Logan"
Kai came into the conversation now. "Why are you friend's with Logan?"
"Because he was friendly and made class less of a bore than it already is!" I was getting defensive now and I could feel it.
"He's not good company" Evan said.
"Maybe not to you but he was great with me" something was going on and I didn't like it. I turned to walk away when Kailey grabbed my arm.
"Lyla they don't mean to upset you or anything I'm sure Logan is a good guy just like the Alexander guy you were talking about" I nodded. If anyone could calm me down it was my sister.
"You talk to Alexander too! He's just as bad if not worst!" Evan shouted. That's it I can't take it anymore if I stay here and listen to them trash talk the people I just met and found amazing, something is going to happen. I yanked my arm away from Kailey and stepped back.
"I'm sorry but I'm not listening to this anymore!" and with that I ran to the fountain. Before I got to the mountain I tripped and fell but before I hit the ground someone caught me. Boy isn't this déjà vu? This is how I met Alexander the first time. I looked up to see who caught me and saw Logan. He looked shocked.
"Are you alright Lyla?"
"No I'm furious right now and I feel like fighting someone or punching something or just doing something violent at the moment!"
"What happened?"
"Some of my sister's friends were saying how you and this guy I know are bad company and you're the only ones who I know in this town aside from Mattie"
"Okay but right now you need to calm down, your shaking and it's not good for anyone to see you in this state"
"Well I know that much!"
"No you don't, Lyla your eyes are red!"
Shock and confusion were on my face right now. How could my eyes just change colour? It isn't possible, not unless one is wearing contacts. But I wasn't wearing contacts or anything, what should I do?
As if he read my mind, Logan said "I'm getting you out of here before anybody else notices, just keep your eyes closed and pretend to faint" I did as he said but then I realized I was tired, really tired. As if I didn't sleep in days so I passed out in his arms.
When I awoke I was in a bed in a place I wasn't familiar and I could hear yelling below me. I got out of the bed and went to the door. I opened it a little to hear what the people were yelling about.
"I couldn't do anything about it, if I left her at the school she would have been exposed and thus she would have to move which would mean we would have to search for her again" someone said. The person sounded like Logan.
"And now we will be considered kidnappers or something instead of her friends! If you just listened to me in the first place and stuck to the plan everything would of gone more smoothly, if this continues the way it does there is no way she will fulfill her destiny!" another person said. I couldn't figure out who he was, he didn't sound like anybody I knew.
"Now, now you too that's enough, our guest has awaken, let's try to make her comfortable" and with that the door flew open and I screamed. What is going on here? Is this place haunted or something? If everybody is downstairs the door should fly open like that!
"Calm down, it's okay Lyla we'll explain everything to you"
I slowly went downstairs very confused and when I got down there I realized Logan and Alexander were standing in the room with another guy. The other guy had blonde hair and blue eyes. I stood there looking at Logan and Alexander.
"what's going on? You guys were planning something?"
Logan started "Listen Lyla-"
"No! You Lied to me! You acted like you didn't know me when you did! You were that boy who saved me 10 years ago! But you look the same, you haven't aged. I want to hear the truth and right now the only one I can trust is the one I haven't met" I turned to the blonde haired guy.
"Well first my name is Julian. And we are not going to harm you although one almost did by accident.." He looked over at Alexander and I gasped. Alexander was the one who killed my mother and brother that day. Tears started flowing down my face.
"why did you do it?"
"It's part of your fate"
"What if I don't care about my fate! What if I wanted to live with my mother and brother! So what its my fate to be miserable?"
"No it's your fate to become one of us"
I looked shocked. "One of you? You're all vampires?"
They all nodded and I thought about making a run for it.
"Don't try it Lyla" I stared at Logan
"How can you..?"
"Its my special power and yes I have been reading your mind this whole time since we met"
I blushed. "Stay out of my head! It's bad enough you guys kidnapped me and took me to lord knows where and the fact that you killed my family but now I find out you've been reading my mind this whole time! All my personal thoughts! I thought you were my friend!" I was getting angry again and it showed.
"Calm down Lyla" Logan went to comfort me but I shrugged his hand off my shoulder.
"I don't want to hear it from you!"
"Your eyes are red again"
I glared at him. "Stay out of my fucking head! I don't care if my eyes are red right now! Alexander has red eyes and I'm sure you and Julian do to! So it doesn't matter!"
Logan was taken back by what I said. Good this is too much for me to process all at once.
"Guys give her space she's been through a lot as is and it won't be getting any better until she can trust us"
Alexander and Logan nodded and waited for me to speak. I looked at Julian expecting him to answer.
"So what am I your prisoner now?"
"No, you are free to come and go whenever you please, we were supposed to meet earlier at the fountain but Logan freaked out after seeing your eyes change colour earlier and brought you here. And after seeing your eyes change colour myself, I'm glad he made the decision"
"Why did you bring me here, if you've been searching for me all this time why didn't you take me home?"
"Because your 'older brother' would of hunted us down and the prophecy will never happen"
"Wait, what do you mean he would of hunted you down? And what prophecy are you talking about?"
