This chapter is quite long but that isn't the reason for my long delay on this chapter, I've had something up with my computer so every time I tried to upload a document onto fanfiction it refused to do it! Argh! Because of that I've managed to write the following two chapters already however I want to get reviews before uploading a chapter. Oh and in this I've also added a bit of comedy and one part where it's not Kali's POV but just a normal POV.

-x-

As they approached us from the forest I took a small step backwards so Jane was in front of me.

When they were several metres out of the forest their eyes returned to their normal colour however my eyes couldn't help but glance towards the dead animals in their grip.

"Hey over here!" Jane cried.

One vampire came over and I recognised it to be Lydia, in her hands were some ferrets and one snow rabbit. I quickly returned my attention to her face in order to not have another fainting spell, holding my breathe I tried not to breathe in the scent of blood – luckily I could hold my breathe for a long time.

Lydia smiled – thankfully revealing no fangs – and said, "I had a good run, anyway I'm going to put this away then I'll catch up with you."

Jane nodded, "I'm just showing Kali round."

Lydia sent a glance to me and smiled, "If either of you see Leon tell him to come find me."

"We will." Jane replied.

With that Lydia walked off towards the entrance along with the other students returning from hunting.

"What actually is 'Hunting' lesson like?" I asked.

Jane looked at me and smiled, "It's great! You can let out all that energy you've been saving and go wild!"

Trying to hide my nerves I smiled weakly.

Looking at the few last vampires returning from the tree's I suddenly realised I had let my guard down and began breathing again, as I let in one breathe I was overpowered with the sense of blood.

Why was there suddenly so much?

Scanning the area I saw two figures coming out of tress who were the last one's, unlike the others though they still had ruby eyes and each had several animals – one even had a deer slung over his shoulder!

"Who's that?" I murmured.

Jane followed my glance, "Oh that's The Derrick and his mate Callum."

"Why…" I trailed off.

"Do they still have red eyes? Will they kinda go overboard and kill everything in sight even when they don't plan on bringing it back. Their the badasses of the school, I heard anyone who gets on the wrong side of him finds themselves being dragged to his room in the middle of the day and well…" she went closer to my ear, "Let's just say it's not a pretty sight of what he does."

I went all stiff and realised that could be me, turning to her I said, "I just gotta go somewhere, be right back!"

Running off I ran towards the entrance and went back into the school following Derrick and his friend, seeing him down the corridor I yelled his name.

He stopped and turned around just as I reached him; I tried not to show panick of his ruby eyes, "What?"

Despite having red eyes his voice was normal and acting brave I said, "Look I know we got on the wrong side—"

"And you want to say sorry after hearing the rumours?" he interrupted with a smirk.

I frowned, "No I wanted to tell you if you try anything I'll rip your throat out."

Of course I was lying as I doubt I'd be able to take him on but I might aswell act brave.

He seemed surprised at my answer but then returned to smirking, "I'll bear that in mind."

With that he turned around and walked off with his friend who sent me a curios glance before following his friend.

Scowling she turned to see Damien face to face, "Gah what are you playing at!" she shouted jumping in shock.

Damien smirked, "Wow if I can creep up on you without you hearing a thing I'm either very good or you're just a pathetic vampire."

I rolled my eyes trying to hide what he said was partly true, "Whatever, what do you want?"

Damien paused, "Well I erm…"

He began scratching the back of his neck and looking off to the side.

"Look I ain't got long till break's over so hurry up." I snapped.

Damien smiled weakly, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

I stood bug-eyed, "WHAAAAT!"

He raised his eyes, "I just need you to be my girlfriend for a bit and act like it whenever I ask you to."

"Why?" I asked.

"Well there's this girl who keeps bugging me." He explained, "And I don't really like her so if she thinks I'm going out with you I think she'll give up."

I smiled slyly, "What's in it for me?"

Damien paused in thought before a smirk spread on his face, "I'll hook you up with one of my friends!"

"Nah." I replied.

"Why not?" he asked.

I sighed, "Are you forgetting I already have a boyfriend?"

Damien frowned, "But he's a—"

I clamped my hand over his mouth, "I know!" I snapped, "And let's keep it between the two of us for now."

He pulled my hand away and nodded, "Fine but I don't see how that relationship is going to work out." He paused before saying, "You help me and I won't spread your secret around."

"Jerk." I muttered.

"Is that a yes?"

I sighed, "Fine but—"

I was cut off as he gripped my arm and pulled me into him and wrapped his arms around me giving a big hug.

"W-what the hell are you doing!" I said in a hushed tone.

"She's watching." He whispered, "Just play along."

Looking from the corner of my eye I saw a girl with black hair watching the two of us, she seemed quite surprised from her expression.

I glanced back up at Damien to see him smirking at me.

"If you even try to kiss me I'll hurt you." I threatened in a hushed tone.

His grin widened, "Aw come on, don't be shy." He said, his loud voice told me he was "acting."

I pulled away and spotting Jane walking in with Marius decided to do a little roll play, it'd be fun! Especially to see how those two reacted…

I smiled at Damien, "Not till you earn it." A said with a wink.

Damien smirked back and opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by somebody.

"Damien?"

Me and Damien turned our head to see the black haired girl, she was staring at Damien sadly.

"Oh…" Damien said in a clearly disappointed tone, "Hi Claire."

Claire frowned, "Who's she?"

Before I could speak Damien placed an arm around my waist pulling me into him, a few passers by had stopped to look and I was beginning to regret it now. Everyone wouldn't know we were acting… I'd be known as Damien chick forever if I didn't sort it out.

"My girlfriend." Damien said.

Claire glared at me, "How long you been dating?"

"Er… not long." I murmured, slightly nervous.

Claire looked back at Damien, "But…"

Damien sighed, "Claire I have a girlfriend already so I'm not gonna go out with you. Sorry."

Claire looked down sadly and I thought she'd walk away but suddenly she looked up with a smile, "Okay I'll accept it but only if you kiss one another."

"What!" I shouted.

She smiled slyly at me, "What's the matter? I just want you to prove it to me… if it's true than you won't mind kissing him."

My mouth was literally hanging open; there was no way I was cheating on Harry!

"Okay." Damien said.

"Eh?" I cried looking at him.

He sent me a sympathetic look and in return I glared at him as if to say 'that won't help and I hate you.'

Damien smiled, "Well let's show them what we've got."

Before I knew what was happening he had turned me around and was leaning towards me, just as his lips pressed against mine he was pushed to the side and I was suddenly glomped.

"Kali!"

Blinking I found Jane hugging me tight and Damien who had been pushed to the side.

Jane frowned, "You should have told me you were dating!"

"Well I, er…" I trailed off.

"I knew it all along." Marius said coming up besides her, "I spotted them making out before."

I shot him a shocked look and from around people began whispering.

"Oh." Claire murmured, "Then it's true."

She sent Damien another glance before whispering, "Bye."

There was a blur and she was gone…

I looked at Marius, "I'll kill you!" I yelled, I then turned to Damien, "And you aswell!"

Damien began walking back, "I'll see you next lesson."

With that he sped off, I tried to run after but Jane was still glomping me.

"You should have told me…" Jane muttered.

"I'm not going out with Damien!" I shouted so everyone could hear me, "It was an act!"

At this the rest of the students began to walk off but I knew some of them still believed the lie.

Jane finally released me and frowned, "Aw…"

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.

She sighed, "I was just hoping I'd have a bit of drama."

I rolled my eyes, "How long have I got till next lesson?"

Jane smiled, "47 minutes."

I nodded and said, "Do me a favour."

At this Jane's face lit up, "Anything!"

I gestured towards Marius stood next to me, "Beat him up."

Jane smirked and before Marius could react she had pounced on him and forced him to the floor, I watched happily as she forced him on his stomach and pulled both his arms back so much I was sure they'd break.

"Coward, getting her to do the dirty work because you can't." Marius muttered.

I shrugged.

Jane frowned at Marius, "Why aren't you fighting back."

Marius sighed, "I can't be bothered, anyway I'm going."

In a flash he stood up sending Jane flying down the hall, whilst she was still airborne she dived downwards and placed a hand on the floor and did a somersault and landed gracefully on her feet.

Why can't I do that!

I hid my frustration and as Marius walked off and Jane stood up she placed both hands on her lips.

"Idiot." She muttered.

-x-

After touring around the school with Jane break finally came to an end and so next lesson began.

Me and Jane both walked along the corridor to our next lesson: 'Hunting.' I was like a machine ready to explode inside; I should have consulted Marius about this! I don't hunt… well not that I know of.

"So… where exactly do we meet for hunting?" I asked.

Jane glanced at me as we continued walking, "We go to a classroom, they do the register there and then we go out a backdoor and we're free to roam the forest grounds. A few teachers will also be prowling around to make sure everything is in check."

I nodded, hopefully keeping up a good façade.

If only I could slip away—

"We're here!"

Damn.

Opening the door I found all the vampires in their room, however there were no chairs or desks in here. Just a large, empty room… full of vampires ready to kill.

Walking in I slowed down slightly and walked directly behind Jane, she eyes me curiously but said nothing of it. Across I saw Damien far across, he smiled over and waved at us but otherwise ignored us. I made a mental note to get him for earlier. He would pay! now back to the current situation...

Don't panic Kali! There's still time to get away…

"Alright class, let's do the register and then go." The teacher said as he came in.

Aw, come on! Give me a break…

As he said the register I along with everybody else answered, at that he nodded and everyone turned their attention to the far side of the room. Looking I was about to ask what was so fascinating when suddenly the wall began to move, just like a garage door the far wall swung till it was on the ceiling. Through the space where the wall had been there was fifty meter gap of green field and then the first line of dark trees.

Suddenly I felt the air get chillier, glancing around I saw that all the vampires were crouching down slightly. A few were even on all fours now like cats ready to pounce, not only that but I realised all their eyes were red – even the teacher!

I swallowed and positioned my hair so that my ginger bangs fell across my eyes, hopefully preventing anyone from seeing my violet eyes.

I spared a glance to Jane and sure enough she also had red eyes, she was grinning – showing two fangs – with eagerness as her eyes were set on the far side where the gap was.

Suddenly she looked to my side and met my gaze, crap!

I prepared to defend myself in anyway, I'm sure I put a pen in my blazer.

"How come you're not ready?" she asked.

I smiled weakly, "Erm… I'm not used to this."

Jane nodded, "Don't worry, you'll get used to it. Tonight I'll help you along, here get on my back."

I blinked, what?

Jane sighed and suddenly grabbed my arm; there was a blur of the whole room as I found myself being swung through the air. Next thing I knew I was being held on Jane's back piggy-back style. Hy-ah!

"Hold on tight." She whispered, "We'll be going any time now."

"What do you—"

"Go!" a voice yelled.

In an instance I found myself already outside and rushing through the field in an impossible speed. I felt my hair whooshing backwards and as I felt myself leaning back from the force of the speed I quickly wrapped my arms around Jane's neck and clung tight, not even bothered if I was cutting her air supply off.

Wait, vampires don't need to breathe so it doesn't matter.

Sparing a glance back I found the entire room empty, the rest of the vampires were all running around and all of them were running on all fours like wild wolfs. I also noticed they were running more horizontally than vertical, more than that they seemed to be going faster than us!

Turning my attention forward I found the forest trees already a short space in front of us, how on earth!

"Erm.. Jane!" I yelled over the roaring air blasting past us, "How come you're not running on all fours!"

As we passed the trees I nearly let out a cry, suddenly she was running along the floor dodging branches and as she came to some bushes she pushed her feet against the ground and leapt into the air.

I help back a scream as she went soaring forward and landed with nothing more than a tiny 'thump' and continued running.

"Because…" she called back, "It'd be harder to carry you, and although it is faster on all fours I want to help you."

Unable to talk from fright I merely tightened my grip.

Many leaps, terrifying ordeals and minutes later Jane suddenly leapt off the ground and headed straight up. Bringing out an arm she reached in front of her and as I watched the whole world turn upside down and then back up again she twirled around a branch using only on hand and landed on it.

"Win!" she cried putting both fists in the air.

"How you doing?" she asked sparing a glance back, she still had the same red eyes and fangs.

I blinked, my hair was a mess and I felt as if my spirit had flown away.

"Um… fine." I said in quiet voice.

"Okay then." She said, she let go of me and I carefully jumped onto the branch. These trees were huge! The branch I was standing on was as wide as a keyboard (weird comparison I know, but look at your keyboard and you'll know how thick it is) and although that was large it was still frightening, leaning against the trunk I took a few breaths.

"That was… fun." I murmured.

Jane nodded and twirled on the branch as if it was nothing; sparing a glance down I immediately regretted it. We must have been a mile high!

I looked across the trees and saw blurs of movement; I guessed it to be the other students dashing around.

"So… what are we gonna do?" I ask.

Jane stopped twirling and looked at me, grinning – and giving me a full view of her fangs – she replied, "I'm gonna help you hunt!"

My eyes widened and I immediately put my hands up, "Trust me! I'm fine, I can do it!"

She raised an eyebrow, "Sure?"

I nodded, "I just need to find a quiet space to go to by myself so that I can calm down and er… change properly."

She frowned, "Why can't you do it here?"

I bit a lip and turned away, what's a good excuse?

"I'm er…" I murmured, "Embarrassed."

There was a long pause and when I finally looked at Jane I found her with a red face, her lips were pursed together and her eyes were glittering.

"What—"

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Jane literally burst out laughing, placing her hands over her stomach she took a step back to the edge of the branch.

"Whoah watch out!" I yelled taking a step forward to save her.

She ignored me and continued to laugh, by this time I was fuming with embarrassment – for real.

"It's not that funny." I mutter.

After minutes she finally wiped an imaginary tear from her eye and took a deep breathe – not that a vampire need to breathe.

"Fine, fine." She said, "I know a great spot that'll suit you especially. Hop on." Turning around she gestured for me to get on her back again.

Sighing I braced myself for what was to come and went and jumped on her back, I guess I should be thankful Jane's a girl at least or I'd be much more uncomfortable on a boy.

In a second she jumped off the branch and let gravity do the rest, as we fell all the way done I closed my eyes and wrapping my eyes tightly around her neck burrowed my head into her back.

After a few minutes of wind rushing past us Jane suddenly came to a stop, opening one eye I found us in a clearing.

Jumping off – I was now surprisingly more used to riding Jane – and walked into it, it was quite a small clearing but there were a few animals in the clearing. There were about eight in total and they must have been the ugliest animals I'd ever seen!

"Boars." I muttered with disgust, despite loving animals I cringed at the look – and smell – of the animals in front of me. Thinking back to what Jane said I whirled around to confront her.

"What did you mean by this would be the perfect place for me especially?"

Jane smiled innocently at me – her eyes had now changed back to their normal colour as we had made our way here – and replied, "Well from what I know of you so far I guess you're one of those who love cute things and couldn't kill a bunny if you tried for your life. So considering these are the ugliest beasts in the forest I thought you wouldn't mind killing these."

I groaned, "But they stink!"

"Yeah… that's why a lot of people don't come here either." She replied, "Well I'm gonna leave you to change and have your fill, I've calmed down now but I'll soon become a wild cat again." She said with a wink.

"See ya! Bon appetite!" and with that she twirled around and zoomed out of the clearing leaving my in a clearing with a bunch of boars.

"Revenge will be mine." I muttered turning around, I halted as I found all the boars staring at me.

"Erm…" I murmured, I tried to stay still as each and everyone of the boars evil eyes glared at me.

"So…" I said outline with a fake smile, "How are you all?"

The first boar took a step forward and flared its nostrils.

I squeaked and took a step back, "L-l-listen! I'm not that kind of person so you don't have to worry! I won't harm you if you don't harm me!"

They continued to ignore me and walked forward, oh crap.

Continuing to retreat I said, "So… it's been nice talking to you. I'll just be… going!"

With that I turned and began running for my life with the boars instantly giving chase, trying to fight back screams and gain attention I focused on keeping my footing as I ran through the trees. Luckily being part vampire came as an advantage as I easily ran the boars where as a human wouldn't have a chance.

Still, so terrifying!

-x-

Breathing deeply I leant my back against a trunk, I wasn't sure what time it was now but I guessed that the 'Hunting' lesson was almost over. Now was around the time I should start heading back.

Just one problem…

I'm lost!

-x-

(Note: this isn't Kali's POV)

Walking out of the trees I carried an elk over my shoulder, now clear of the forest I allowed myself to calm down and regain my normal posture. After a few seconds I felt my fangs retract and so my eyes must have regained their normal brown colour.

Taking a deep breathe – not that I needed it – I let a grin plaster my face, I was one of the first to finish hunting and after feeding on a few random animals I had my fill.

"Damien!"

Turning around I found Jane running towards me, smiling I waited for her to reach me as I was half way between the forest and classroom where we began. As Jane rushed towards me I examined what she had caught, in one of her hands she held tightly onto what looked like two brown rabbits. I smirked; Lydia and Jane were both crazy about rabbits. I on the other hand preferred larger animals which would keep me going till the next night, I found it weird how they made us hunt each day even though all us students could go three or four days without blood. Then again, we do love blood so we're not complaining.

Reaching me she held up her prized rabbits, "Caught my favourite kind, their a few years young so their blood is at my favourite taste."

I nodded, "Kay…" as we both turned and began walking back together I couldn't help but ask, "What was with you giving Kali a piggy-back ride?"

She glanced at me and smiled, "I realised she wasn't changing and it seems she's a bit new to all this so I thought I could give her a hand."

I nodded, most vampires who started the diet we had found it unusual. After all vampires in the wild who didn't attend school usually fed anytime they wished and some on humans…

Jane continued to talk, "Anyway when I was in the forest she asked to be left somewhere private as she said – and I quote – 'I'm embarrassed.'"

I let out a laugh, "What!?"

Jane nodded, "Yup so I left her in a clearing with boars."

"Boars?" I asked crinkling my nose in disgust, "But they stink and taste disgusting!"

Jane shrugged, "I know but Kali is the type who can't kill any animals that looks the least bit cute."

"That's weird for a vampire." I muttered.

"I know but so far when have you ever thought of Kali as a normal vampire?" Jane asked.

"Can't argue you there." I replied, after all ever since Kali had arrived she had stood out slightly compared to all the rest.

Although that was to be expected from a new student she was more different, especially the fainting in Jane's room. What was that about?!

I went deeper into thought; she was the headmaster's granddaughter. But why didn't anyone know about that? I though I knew all of the headmaster's family, I did study them for a while.

Not too mention Marius… he seems to know more than he lets on. I frowned as I tried to knit all the pieces I knew so far. And boy, was there a lot to think about! Kali had practically made an impression on most of the school, and above all else The Derrick! Plus there was the incident in the girls bathroom at break earlier tonight which had spread like wild fire. And there's also Leon… he knows something.

"Ah, you two are back?"

I looked up to see the teacher there, nodding we went and stood at the front of the open wall of the classroom.

"Let's wait for Kali." Jane proposed.

I nodded, not really listening as I continued to think. I was the type who when given a puzzle would try his most to solve it.

As I continued to think the rest of the class returned, by now the hour had finished and all classes had ended but still… no Kali.

Suddenly an idea struck me, if she was the grandchild of the headmaster then that meant she was related to him… my eyes widened. Did he know that? Was he aware she was also related to Jack.

If he did find out then that meant trouble for Kali, on no…

But if not and found out from someone else, Kali would be at an even bigger risk.

"Where's Kali?" Jane suddenly asked inpatient.

As if on queue a high pitched scream tore through the air and forced the reaming students, the teacher and Jane and myself to halt in our tracks.

Kali.

-x-

So yeah, hoped you like it. The next chapter will be posted whenever I think I have enough reviews. I've also just drawn Kali's family tree from her generation to Jack (her grandfathers) generation. Somebody mailed me asking if they'd find out why Kali's mother hanged up on Kali on the phone the other day, well don't worry… you'll find out later. ^^ Infact I have a lot of twists to add to this story, so if anybody ever gets confused just ask and I'll answer. Of course if me answering spoils it I won't.

P.S. – What do you think of Damien's POV? Do you think I should do his or maybe other's POV more often other than Kali? Please say in your review.

Preview for next chapter: (This is Kali speaking by the way)

Fangs.

Red Eyes.

Darkness.

I don't know how I'll escape from this. And why… why did he have to get caught up in this? Please… don't let him leave me.
