A/N: Hey! I couldn't resist updating, even though I only got two reviews…. So, read, review, and enjoy!
Discovery
I reacted instinctively, leaping off of the stage at inhuman speed and sprinting towards the scream. Andrew grabbed my arm as I flew past, just a blur to human eyes. I slowed at his touch, remembering the charade of being human. Andrew shook his head slightly, a silent reprimand. I was lucky the attention had been turned away from me. Or so I thought. I hadn't seen Fred watching me, watching for my reaction.
Our dating history wasn't elaborate. We'd met on a jazz band/choral ensemble trip to Chicago. I had just gotten done singing with the rest of the ensemble and we were leaving the stage to wild cheering and cries for an encore. I wasn't paying any attention when I quite literally ran into Fred. I'd apologized to him repeatedly, while he stared at me bemusedly. We became close friends, and, without acknowledging it, started dating. That had been five years ago. Three years ago I became a vampire. I knew the Cullen's wondered why I preferred Andrew to Fred. I honestly didn't know. Maybe it was the fact that Andrew understood my pain, loved me for myself, and didn't force himself on me. Of course, Fred didn't do any of that, but he would die and I would be forever sixteen. And under no circumstances was I about to make Fred a vampire.

I watched Mel closely. She had almost given us away, leaping off the stage at full vampire speed, but I'd caught her. She was lost in thought now, gazing into the distance, so she didn't see the professor pull a blushing student into the auditorium.
"This student thought it would be funny to pull a prank. She was responsible for the screaming." Bond's voice was laced with disapproval. Thunder rumbled outside, loud and threatening, backing her words up.
Rain pattered on the roof, growing stronger with every second. Mel was still absorbed in her thoughts, holding my hand loosely. She started suddenly, looking out of the window in surprise and… fear? Was that fear in her eyes? She vanished from the room as mayhem erupted.

I was lost in distant memories when I familiar scent wafted through the open doors, blown in along with bucketfuls of rain. When the scent of human blood entered the room, (A/N: Her sense of smell is unusually strong, which is why Andrew didn't smell anything) I pulled free from Andrew's grasp and dashed out of the room. The rain drenched my body and I automatically froze, relaxing, as the water washed away my human disguise. The red in my hair was washed away, replaced by a deep black, and my hair lengthened, coming to rest at my waist. I felt my eyes change from green to amber, and felt the disorienting sensation of shrinking a few inches. When I was back to my normal appearance I started running, following the scent of terror Emily was causing.

Blood… That was all I could smell and all I could hear was the pulsing of human blood. The scent was delicious, overwhelming my senses with desire, pushing away all thoughts of my visit to see Melody. I sank my teeth into the trembling student's neck, feeling her body go limp as I drained her body of blood. My thirst was not yet sated. The courtyard was scattered with bodies the bodies of students, teachers, friends, and visiting family, all of whom I'd drained of blood. It had not been hard to kill the weak humans. I got to my feet quickly, following an especially tempting scent.
A/N: So? How did you like it? The italics were Emily's thoughts, in case you didn't know. The chapter was called Discovery since Em's pleasant visit (LOL) pretty much gave them away. More on Em's reign of terror next chapter! So please review!
