Amelia came down the stairs for her breakfast and saw her mother sitting at the table. She caught eye contact with Vlad and he whooshed out the room dragging Amelia out the room with him. Vlad was about to speak, but Amelia jumped in first.

"Why is mum still here! You said she wasn't staying!"Amelia whisper shouted.

"You said you hated mum she wants to know why! So I said she could stay!" Vlad said in a normal voice, trying to calm his little sister down.

"Have you gone f**king crazy! I HATE her! I NEED her gone!" Amelia complained, in a slightly louder voice.

"Yeah. And until we find out why mum is staying!" Vlad told his sister looking her in the eyes and putting his hands on his shoulders. Amelia wriggled away and walked back into the front room and sat as far away from her mother as possible.

The following Friday a week later at noon.

Miss Grey knocked on the door of the Dracula's house, with Amelia standing next to her, Vlad answered the door, she saw Miss Grey and Amelia. Amelia had dried blood stain

"What have you done now?!" Vlad asked Amelia.

"Why do think I've done something!" said Amelia as Vlad gave her a do-I-really-need-to-answer-that look.

"Amelia, has hit a Year 7 boy in the nose. This caused him to fall down the stairs and break his arm." Miss Grey told Vlad, who studied Amelia's face it looked more like she victim not the one doing the punching. Amelia became outraged.

"He hit me in the nose first!" Amelia yelled facing Miss Grey. Then she turned to face Vlad. "He did it for NO reason!" Amelia said continuing her yelling and turned back to Miss Grey. "You saw him hit me!"

"Well you shouldn't of reacted!" said Miss Grey calmly enough.

"An eye for and eye a..tooth for a tooth." Amelia said cheekily.

"So you do pay attention in your lessons!" Vlad shot back, trying to be smart. Amelia glared at him

"Anyway. The Year 7 is in hospital and after having a serious meeting with we have decided to ex-culled Amelia for the rest of the day." Miss Grey told Vlad breaking the tension he had with his sister. Then Miss Grey left leaving Amelia at the front door in front of Vlad.

"Get in!" Vlad ordered Amelia who hadn't taken his eyes off her since Miss Grey told him she was ex-culled. Amelia slowly walked the house.

"What has she done now?" Magda asked Vlad as he closed the door.

"It is none of your business! Why do you have to butt in about EVERYTHING I do!" Amelia yelled.

"Be quite! You're in enough trouble as it is. Now sit at the table and don't say a word!" Vlad ordered. Amelia didn't like Vlad bossing her around all the time, but she did as she was told anyway. Vlad sat next to her and studied her face even more. It looked worse close up. Vlad could see that Amelia's nose was blocked with dried blood. "When did this happen?" he asked. Amelia could now get the school in trouble for just telling the truth.

"On my way to form time." Amelia told her brother.

"And the punishments have only just been sorted out now!" said Vlad. "What happened after you hit the Year 7." he asked.

"He nose started to bleed and my punch made him lose his balance and he fell past me. He hit his nose on the ground which made his nose bleed worse. Miss Grey ran over to him and called the ambulance and got Mr Puffin to take me to the Ex-Cullen room. About ten Miss Grey came and I asked her to take to hospital because my nose was still bleeding. She said that it has stopped now. I told her that is only because my nose was blocked with dry blood. She called me silly. When I asked her for a first aid kit, she said I didn't need one." Amelia told Vlad telling the complete truth. Vlad then whooshed out the room and came back with a bowl of water, tissues and tweezers.

"I need to talk to Mr Friday about having a serious meeting with his staff about first aid." Vlad muttered to himself as he dabbed a tissue in the water and started gently rubbing it on the dried blood in Amelia's nose with the wet tissue. Vlad kept doing this one spot of the dried blood then got a tissue and placed it on the table. Then he picked up the tweezers placed them on the spot that he had been dabbing with the wet tissues, then dug into that spot then tightened and pulled out part of the dried blood and put it on the tissue. As he did this Amelia whimpered sightly in pain. Vlad saw that fresh blood was coming out of Amelia's nose so he jerked his sister's head back as quickly as he could without hurting her. Vlad repeated what he did with the dried blood until Amelia's nose was clear and was easy to breath though again(not that Amelia did much breathing). Then Vlad squeezed his sister's nose with his thumb and first finger.

"Ow! Vlad, you're hurting me!" Amelia yelled, as she tried to get out of her bother's grip, but he was to strong.

"I'm trying to stop your nose bleed!" Vlad said poking her shoulder hard, with his free hand.

"Ow!" Amelia said as Amelia started rubbing her shoulder. "You don't have to dig your nails into my nose to stop it bleeding!"she added as she kicked Vlad's ankle. Vlad was now in pain, but he pretended it didn't bother him and his grip became less tight.

At 3:55PM the same day

Vlad and Amelia were on there own in the front room(all the other Vampires had gone to sleep in there coffins). Amelia was bored and started speaking to her older brother.

"Vlad am I still allowed to go out with Alex tonight?" Amelia asked.

"Huh?" Vlad said slightly confused.

"Remember. Alex asked me to go out with her tonight. I told you about it yesterday, and you said I could go." Amelia explained.

"Oh that. Yes you can still go." Vlad told his sister. Then Daniel walked in and Amelia followed him to their room.

At 5:30PM the same day

Amelia came out from her bed wearing yet other outfit. She was wearing a pink and red stripy skirt, a matching shirt, a matching jumper, matching tights and even matching shoes. Her hair was pulled to the side, plaited and put into a bun.

"That's the outfit that Auntie Carol got you for our tenth birthday. It was to big for you then. You told me later that day that you wouldn't been seen dead in it. Even if it did eventfully fit you." Daniel said. "Why are you even trying on so many outfits just to go out with Alex?" he added.

"Well I've changed my mind about this outfit. It suits me." Amelia said, then Daniel looked at her in disbelief. "Okay! Fine! I hate this outfit! I mean pink? Come on! I just want to look normal. Whatever normal is for breathers." Amelia told her brother.

"Everyone see's 'normal' differently. You see normal as wearing red and black, all the time, which would the first of the one thousand outfits you tried on." Daniel said. Amelia put on her tight, silk, red shirt her red and black stripy leather jacket, her black jeans and her red trainers. "Perfect" Daniel said when his sister was finished getting ready.

"Perfect? How can I be perfect when I haven't even put my make up on yet?" Amelia asked.

"You don't need makeup." Daniel told his sister.

"Yes I do I hate all this colour in my cheeks." Amelia complained as she dabbed white powder on her face. She didn't wear makeup at school because A she wasn't allowed anyway and B people (Carly+friends) would be mean about how Amelia made her face pale instead of foundation. Amelia then put on bright red lipstick on, then put on Mascara and did her eye liner with a 60s flick. Amelia looked at herself in her mirror 'Vampiric' she thought. It was quarter to six when she was done and Vlad came in.

"Your face is pale." He said to Amelia.

"It is make up. It is what girls wear on there faces." Amelia told her older brother. Vlad sighed

"I know what it is. Why are you wearing it?" Vlad asked.

"So I look nice for my mate." Amelia said. Vlad rolled his eyes at his sister.

"Anyway. I want you back by ten thirty." Amelia was told by her brother, Vlad.

"Yeah whatever. I don't even have to leave for anther half hour." Vlad was told by his sister, Amelia as he left.

Ten Thirty that night.

Amelia walked into her house, she was nervous, but was careful not to show it.

"You made it just in time it is dead on ten thirty." Vlad said, warning her to be slightly quicker next time without saying those words. Amelia gave her brother a false, sarcastic smile. This however made her feel more nervous. Yet she was still Amelia did not show that she was nervous.
She quickly walked out of the room and went to her bedroom.

"Did Vlad moan about you only just being on time." Daniel asked when Amelia walked into there bedroom.

"He didn't really go into the subject." Amelia told her brother. Daniel stared at her. She wasn't acting herself normally Amelia would of told him to shut up. Amelia saw that he knew something was wrong, and became even more nervous. "What's wrong?" He asked. Amelia took a deep breath(even though she doesn't breath).

"I've lied to you and to Vlad. I didn't go out with Alex tonight, I went out with David. And David told his older brother, Kevin that he was spending tonight with you." Amelia told Daniel. Telling a part of the truth only relieved a part of her nerves.

"Okay. So why did you and David do that?" Daniel asked.

"So neither Vlad or Kevin think that their is something going on when their isn't." Amelia said. She saw her brother understanding, Amelia thought that if he knows half the truth he might as well know the rest. "But after tonight something might start going on." Amelia added making her brother confused again.

"What do you mean?" Daniel asked, who was irritated by his sister 'Why did she have to keep speaking in riddles!' Daniel thought.

"I'm not one hundred percent sure how to put it into words, but I'll try." Amelia told her brother.

First Person (Amelia)

I was walking to the gates of gar side grange, with David walking next to me. I don't know why he is walking me home. He said it was to make sure I didn't get lost on the way home, but I think he just wants to be near me a little bit longer. I've tried to hide my feeling for him even to myself but I can't do that anymore. I love him. Loving a breather. So wrong yet so..so right.

"Amelia." David said.

"Yes?" I asked, as I saw that we were meters away from the gate.

"I c-can't hold m-my feeling i-inside a-any longer." he stammered.

"What feelings?" I asked.

"My feelings f-for you." David told me. If I had a working heart it would of stopped when he told me those words. "I want..no I need to tell you something b-but I can't f-find the right words." he said and there was a two second pause. "I suppose I'll have to show you." he added breaking the silence. I gave him a confused look. He looked me in the eyes, bent his head and he kissed me. A proper lip-to-lip kiss. My first kiss. I kissed him back. We put our hands on each others shoulders. His warm lips on mine was comforting, for the entire eight seconds it lasted. We broke apart. I stared at him.

"I don't think this will work." I said, barely believing what I just said.

"Well how do you feel? Do...you like me? I mean like like me." he asked.

"It doesn't matter because it isn't going to work!" I snapped, hardly controlling the words that came out of my own mouth.

"Why not?" David asked, who wasn't in a position to give up anytime soon.

"Because I'm a Vampire!" I told him, and so shocked at what I just said I slowly raised my hand over my mouth.

"What?" David asked. Now I had to tell him more or he would think that I was crazy.

"I'm a Vampire. Daniel is a Vampire. Vlad is a Vampire. Ingrid is a Vampire. My step dad Mr Count is a Vampire and is over 600 years old. Think about it Vlad my brother. In the day if the curtains are open he tries to get past the SUNLIGHT as quick as possible. Last Friday Vlad went to sit next to you then saw you had GARLIC bread and sat next to me instead. He stood in front of me you Alex and Daniel, in the corner of the room on my first day at school his hand was on the window seal, you and Alex pretended not to see but you saw his hand smoke." I explained.

"But I've seen you and Daniel in the daylight." David told me.

"Vampires don't get there full powers until there six-tenth birthday. I come from Transylvania, were have you ever heard a person say that their home country is Transylvania? No you haven't. It was originally a Vampire Country. Then others creatures that you breathers call 'supernatural' came. Anyway I am a Vampire." I told him, he looked like he still didn't believe me, so I said. "Have I ever told you why me and Daniel moved here to the U.K with Vlad?" I asked.

"No." he answered, I took a deep breath (even though I don't breath).

"Because My mother, had this boyfriend called..Patrick. He is a Wear wolf. He use to abuse me and Daniel. One day we got so sick of it we told our form tutor, about Patrick. We didn't tell her about the abuse, just that he was a Wear wolf. That is anther thing the school me and Daniel went to 'Vampire Academy For evil Vampires aged eleven to six-teen.' Does that sound like a name of a normal school to? I'm a Vampire. Daniel is a Vampire. Vlad is a Vampire. Ingrid is a Vampire. My step dad Mr Count is a Vampire and is over 600 years old." I told David. There was a silence for two seconds.

"I don't care." David said.

"What?" I asked with shock in my voice but I felt joy on the inside.

"I said I don't care if you are a Vampire. I don't...love you for what you are. I..love you for who you are." he explained. "Do you love me?" he asked.

"I don't know how to put it into words." I said. David giggled slightly, as I looked him in the eye. Then I bent my head and I kissed him. He kissed me back. Our hands were on each others shoulders again. The comfort of his warm lips was back. After ten seconds we broke apart again. "I have to go." I said as I looked him in the eyes then slowly looked down to my shoes.

"Amelia we need talk about this." David told me.

"We will but, it is quarter past and it takes ages to walk up those stairs. We'll talk Monday." I told him.

"But-" David started to say.

"Monday!" I repeated as I walked though the gate.

Third Person

"You told him that we are Vampires?" Daniel asked.

"Yes." Amelia said.

"You told him everything about mum and everything about Vlad." Daniel reported.

"No I didn't tell him about Vlad's plans for peace and I didn't tell him about Wolfie." Amelia told him. "I don't why I told him the rest though. I love him. Does that make me crazy?" Amelia asked herself. Her twin answered for her.

"No it doesn't." Daniel told his sister. She did not believe him so he said. "Do you want to know a secret?" He asked.

"Fine. Seeing as I've told mine you tell me yours." Amelia told her twin. There was a second of silence.

"I like Alex." Daniel told his twin. "I guess that makes us both crazy." He joked. 'So both me and my twin brother are in love with breathers' Amelia thought. However Amelia then read his mind. 'let her think I like the breathers in that way she can't be serious about this he's a breather!' Amelia heard Daniel think and she was heart-broken. She didn't want to show it through , she couldn't anyone find out about her secret powers that she had never told a soul.

Next chapter will be up in a couple of weeks!
