A/N: HOLY SH*T AN UPDATE!

Well… this is extremely awkward. I… I honestly have excuses! Look- I'll list them for you! Here's what has happened in the past three months of my life:

I set up my Christmas trampoline (finally), opened my pool, and Sister repainted our old wooden swing set. My yard is fricking awesome!

On April 18th I had my 16th birthday! WHOOOP! I got tickets to see LMFAO! YESSSSSS! :D

I saw Hunger Games. Twice. It was soooo good! I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES GALE/LIAM! Ahem. Hehe…. O.O

I saw Avengers. Twice.OMGWTFBBQASDFGHJKL it was like a gift straight from the gods it was soooo amazing and Tony was just hilarious and Rogers was just adorable and Thor was just precious and Loki was just really really sexy (don't judge) and in severe need of a hug and it was so funny and *faints from too much fan-girling* *revives moments later* Ahem. It was pretty good. Then I had a superhero movie marathon with my friend after the second time I saw Avengers. Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man 1 and 2 in a row. Epic.

I made it to regionals for high school track in all four of my events (100 hurdles, pole vault, 4X1 relay, and 4X4 relay). Yay! Then, I made it to states for 4X1 relay and 4X4 relay (I MISSED QUALIFYING FOR HURDLES AND POLE VAULT BY ONE PLACE HDHJHJF).

I made rage face Easter eggs. Epic!

I discovered I have an amazing talent (I'm not even kidding right now) of copying. Like, I look at a picture or an object, and I can draw it right on the paper almost perfectly. Cool! :D

I slaved for four weeks over AP US History studying. I literally did nothing else but read about history for weeks straight. D: Then I took (and I feel that I passed :D) my AP test. It was so relieving to finally be rid of that stupid thing.

I met this extremely hot guy at my work- he's 18 (so only two years difference), plays guitar in a band (:D), and is really nice and funny. He has a nickname for me (Cindy Lou, like the little girl from the Grinch, 'cause I'm so short :P) and every time we work at the same time he always comes up front to talk to me. Also, every time I walk into work, he literally screams my name from the back of the kitchen XD. And when I work and he's not there, he leaves messages for me with other guys in the kitchen :) IDK, I'm hoping to maybe get somewhere with him ;D ANYONE WANNA GIVE ME ADVICE I'M A TOTAL NOOB WITH GUYS D:

I started reading Thor/Avengers fics. I'm addicted. AND I'VE STARTED WRITING THEM- GO CHECK THEM OUT!

I discovered Tumblr (again, addicited) and an Avengers RP group. I ALSO CREATED A MAXIMUM RIDE ROLE PLAY GROUP IN TUMBLR- EVERYONE JOIN! (INFO ON MY PROFILE)

I literally crammed for the entire last two weeks of school on three final papers, two final projects, and three final tests. Right til the last day of school. Total BS!

I made it onto the pom team this year as a full member :D YES!

Summer track started up. I did Jr. Olympics regionals last weekend- I'm going to nationals for pole vault (I got first :D). I missed going to nationals for high jump and triple jump by one place. AGAIN! WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME? D:

I went to a week long beach vacation with my family. I got to drive a jet ski!

I went to an LMFAO concert last week. SORRY FOR PARTY ROCKIN'! WOOOOOOOO! It was fricking awesome. Except for when Red Fool mooned the camera O.O

School ended June 6th. YEA BABY I'M A FREE WOMAN! WOOOOOOO! SUMMERRRRRRRRRR!

TL;DR- I have been inhumanly busy these past months. But never fear- summer is here! I promise this won't happen again! (Well… at least until school starts again :P) On with the story- finally!

Fang POV

Birds chirped, squirrels chittered, leaves rustled, breezes blew, the sun shone- over all it was a beautiful day out. Oh, wait- what's that? Is that… an emo-looking kid dressed in all black wearing sunglasses with black wings and fangs sitting under a tree banging his head over and over again on said tree? Dear God RUN!

Ha. What a peaceful scene.

I sat under a large aspen tree, deep, deep in the woods, somewhere in North Dakota. I'm not really sure where exactly I was, but I didn't really care. I just had to get somewhere- anywhere- away from Max.

I groaned and smacked my head back against the tree- again- as I relived yesterday's events- again. What the hell was wrong with me? Was I actually a f*cking vampire? I mean… that would explain a lot of things. The sharp teeth, the dreams about blood, the sensitivity to sunlight, attacking Max when she started to bleed….

"GOD!" I smashed my head particularly hard into the tree trunk, and then held it and hissed when a lump started to form on the back of my head. I mean, like, actually hissed. Like a f*cking animal.

I immediately let go of my head in surprise, and my hands shook a little as I put them back in my lap. Then I picked them back up and rubbed over my face. What the hell is wrong with me!

How would I ever be able to go back? How on earth would I ever be able to explain this? Hey, sorry I tried to attack you and suck out all of your blood, Max. I'm just turning into a mythological creature that isn't supposed to exist. Don't mind me. Now can I come back home? I promise I won't try and kill someone every time there's a paper cut.

"F*CK!" I yelled, fisting my hands in my hair. I felt my teeth grow again- it was an odd, cold, tingling sensation I felt right in the middle of my incisors- and press gently into my bottom lip. I figured that this happened pretty much whenever I was angry or stressed out. And, as one could imagine, I had been feeling plenty of those emotions in the past 24 hours.

Growling murderously, I stood up and faced the tree, glaring daggers at it. I kicked it for good measure- cursing when a shot of pain shot up my leg- and took off into the sky, wanting to burn off some steam.

I floated through the warm air currents for a while, just trying to relax my muscles and my brain. It didn't help when I almost got hit by a commercial airline jet because I wasn't paying attention. Hehe, at least I got a kick out of a couple passengers' faces when they saw me flying around.

I tried to think of cute, calming things as I aimlessly shot around in the clouds. Bunnies. Kittens. Flowers. Snowflakes. Rainbows. Puppies. Rainbow puppies. Cupcakes. Or how about some man crushes? Robert Downey Junior. Chris and Liam Hemsworth. Tom Hiddleston. Chuck Norris. Hot chicks always work. Megan Fox. Scarlett Johansson. Natalie Portman. Kiera Knightly. Angelina Jolie. Dakota Berry. Max.

Okay. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea.

Finally, after what must have been an hour or two, I felt relatively calmer. Or, at least my fangs went away and I didn't feel like punching a baby panda anymore. So I guess that counts.

I floated down to the ground, tucking in my wings as I landed in the middle of a field. I sighed, trying to think about where in the heck I was. I think I flew southeast… and I flew for about an hour or two… and if I'm cruising at an average of 85 mph… then I'm getting a map.

I walked in a random direction, grumbling while I pushed wheat out of my face and flicked bugs off of my shoulders. Finally I saw buildings- civilization!- and jogged over to them. As I walked into a 7-11, I revelled in the wonder that is air conditioning. It was, like, 105 out there!

I grabbed a map from one of those tall, spinning rack things by the door, and walked to the back of the store. I grabbed the largest cup they had- it was legit taller than my head- and filled it all the way up with cherry Slurpee. I took a dip drink, savouring the awesomeness that is Slurpees.

I shook open the night- not unlatching from the straw- and studied it. Huh… now I was in Oklahoma. Interesting. I shoved the map into my back pocket, refilled my Slurpee cup to the top, and strolled towards the front.

I ignored the cashier screaming at me to stop and walked right through the sliding doors, walking back behind the store to take off. As I soared aimlessly above the barren Oklahoma landscape in the cool breeze, sipping my Slurpee, I was starting to feel a little bit better.

SHAMELESS WHORING ALERT! If you love me and my antics, please 1. Join my MR role play group on Tumblr. I just started and it should be a lot of fun! Message me at please-do-not-fang-bang 2. Like my Facebook page for funny pics, quotes, story updates, and other such stuff. 3. Give me some advice for the hot guy at my work. PWWWWEEEEAAAASE!

Mystery POV

I watched as the fledgling vampire speed walked out of the convenience store, and followed him behind the store. But when I turned the corner, he wasn't there.

I looked all around, but it seemed I had lost him. I grunted in frustration, shoving my hands in my pockets. I heard loud wing beats, far off, straight up. Looking skyward through my sunglasses, I only saw a very large bird up in the sky. I snorted, walking back to my motorcycle.

But something inside of me- probably my intuition- told me to look back up. Doing so, I studied the bird closer, using my advanced eyesight. On second glance… it was awfully large and misshapen to be a bird. And when I caught a wink of bright, unnatural red among all the black, I grinned. Running to my motorcycle, I jumped on and rode off, following the flying boy.

Hey… you… yea, you… sitting there on your computer. You with the face. You should read my A/Ns if you want to know why I've been gone and if you want to earn waffles. Just sayin'.

Fang POV

I alighted in the middle of –yet another- field, walking a few feet to sit under a short, scrubby tree. I sighed as I drained the last of my Slurpee, tossing the cup behind me. What can I say- I'm just not in a very caring mood right now. My Slurpee's gone :(

I couldn't really decide what to do, so I just sat for a while, watching the setting sun, contemplating the meaning of life. Or just thinking of funny memes. Whichever.

The sun had gone down and I had just decided to try to go to sleep when I heard a loud roar. I frowned, sitting back up from my half-laying-down position to listen. It sounded like a car or a motorcycle. I had made sure I wasn't anywhere near a road or house, as I didn't exactly want to have to interact with anyone else.

I heard the roar again, and it was closer this time. I stood up, taking off my glasses to search around the wheat. I whirled around as the roar sounded again- God, all this wheat looked the same!- even louder.

Jumping backwards, I ran out of the way as a huge, jet black motorcycle came racing towards me. It spun around and skidded to a stop, and the driver gracefully hopped off. My jaws dropped as they took off their helmet.

It was a girl. A hot girl. She had long, jet black hair that had blue streaks in it that winked at me as she shook her hair out. She had pitch black eyes once she removed her shades, and tan skin everywhere underneath her leather jacket.

"Hello, fledgling." she said with a smirk. Jeez, even her voice is sexy!

"Uh… hey?" Wow, Fang, you are such a moron.

"My name is Shadow, and I'm here to take you with me to the Academy."

Okay, she may have been hot, but even I wasn't stupid enough to just believe her. (Iggy, on the other hand, is a completely different story….) "Um… what are you talking about?

She frowned, a crease appearing on her nose. "Um, the Vampiric Academy for Fledglings, Balkan branch, duh."

"Again, what are you talking about?" Okay, she seemed less hot and creepier with each sentence.

She seemed a little annoyed now. "You don't know?"

"Know what?" I shot back, getting annoyed myself.

Shadow sighed, rubbing her temples. "I hate it when they do this." she muttered. Then she took a deep breath. "You are a fledgling vampire. Obviously you don't know what that means– since someone is changing people again without doing it the right way- but basically it means that you aren't in full control or capacity of your powers yet. So, you must go to the Academy to learn of and gain powers."

My jaw dropped again. "Wait… so… I really am a vampire?"

Shadow rolled her eyes. "Why do I always get the slow ones." she muttered under her breath. "Yes, you are." she said louder.

"So… what can I do?" I asked her.

Shadow rolled her eyes, and I noticed a dark blue rim around her black irises. "You can move extremely fast; see and hear extremely well; you can read emotions, thoughts, and memories when in contact with someone; your own mind can't be read by other vampires; and once you're more advanced you'll be able to control one element and have one other power as you choose."

"Cool. But… I have to go with you to this Academy?"

She huffed. "Yes We've already been over this! So let's go." She walked back to her motorcycle.

I sighed. "Well, I already have a family and all-" Even if they do hate my guts. "- so I can't really leave them and go with you."

Now her mouth dropped open. "What?"

I shrugged. "I love my family, even if they're not too happy with me right now. I can't just up and leave them." And… that's as mushy as Fangster is getting. Sorry.

"You'd get to be around others that are the same as you! You'd get to learn new powers! You'd get to learn how to control yourself!" she called, gesturing with her hands.

I'd learn how to control myself. That could be really useful. I bit my lip, thinking about it. "Can I have a couple days?"

Shadow groaned loudly, throwing back her head. Drama queen. "Fine. But, in 48 hours, I'm coming to get you." She shoved on her helmet, crushed the throttle, and zoomed away through the wheat at a break neck pace.

Now what?

PLEASE READ!

A/N: Sorry for the crap chapter. But I really don't have a good way to follow up that (kinda sorta embarrassing) last chapter sufficiently. Plus I just wanted to get a chapter to you.

And you know Shadow is one of my OC's I made. I like her :)

Question(s) of the Chapter (a waffle for each one ;D): 1. Opinion on The Avengers. 2. Opinion on Loki/Tom Hiddleston. 3. Any advice for the hot guy at my work? 4. Will you join my Tumblr group? 5. Will you like my Facebook page?

I'm starting a temporary reviewing system now that it's summer. If I get:

0-5 reviews- I'll update in two weeks.

5-10 reviews- I'll update in ten days.

10-15 reviews- I'll update in one week.

15-20 reviews- I'll update in four days.

20 plus reviews- I'll update in two days or tomorrow!

I mean, I'm still really busy, and I still have to go through my betas, but I'll try my hardest :)

OK… again, I'm reeeeeaaaaallllly sorry for the long wait and the crappy chapter. R&R! Go R&R the new chapter of No Safety as well. See you next time, chillains!
