For 6kimiko6: I tried explaining what nullification is. It is basically making something ineffective. Like stopping it or something. :)

Stellacisem: well, here's the new chapter! I hope you don't mind the weeks that has passed since I updated this…lol. Sorry about that. And thanks for the reviews, they really make my day :D Let's continue with the sorry now, shouldn't we? :)

Nullification?

As in nullifying? So… that means I can make any affinity ineffective on someone?

So that was it! That's why I could see the girl, by nullifying her affinity. But why just me? If I used my ability on her, then wouldn't Cerberus and the other see it? 'Maybe because I'm not trained, I can only use it for myself. Yeah, that must be it.' I was thinking before I heard his voice. "Are you done running away from me, little kitty?" he asked playfully. I turned my face to him and started walking backwards.

Nullification. So how do I use it? I didn't think of using it when I saw the invisible girl. So what do I do? How can I use it? Then I stopped thinking. This is getting me nowhere. Maybe I should just use the old techniques…

I mumbled something enough for Kalona to hear.

"What's it, little Kitty? Afraid that you are going to be a red fledgling? I'm afraid you can't. Even if Neferet tried, you would be another kind of fledgling. Because you are so special." Then he laughed. He knew my spot.

He was getting on my nerves. Then I let him come near me, and when he was near enough, BAM! I smacked him on his 'soft spot' and ran past trough him. When I got out, I saw Professor Natasha under a tree. I ran to her.

"Diana, are you okay? Some birds reported Cerberus about you and Kalona. Are you hurt anywhere?"

"No..." I was shocked when I heard my voice. It was shaking.

"Oh dear, it's okay… You're with me now…" she was hugging me. Her voice was soft and comforting; like a mother's. Mother… I really miss her, but does she miss me? I dunno… the last time I checked, she loved me. But now that I'm a vampire fledgling, I wonder what she thinks of me…

"It's okay, everything passed now…" then I calmed down at once.

"Are you using your affinity on me?" I asked her. My voice was not shaking but it was kind of weak.

"Yes I am." She said honestly.

"I see." Why doesn't my affinity work now then? … After a moment I added. "What about him? Kalona? What should we do?" 'and why isn't he trying to catch me right now?' I asked in my mind.

"Don't worry about him. It is not the real Kalona. It is just a clone of him. There is nothing to worry about."

"Huh? Why? E-even if he's a clone, he is still Kalona's clone. We are talking about Kalona here." I stammered. Wow, that was something you wouldn't see every day.

"He can't attack me because… I'm Neferet's sister. I'm sure that she ordered everyone to stay away from me. She wants to finish me off herself." She laughed nervously.

Silence.

"Neferet… Zoey's mentor Neferet? The one who is trying to be the best at everything?" I broke the hug and backed a little bit away.

"Yes, unfortunately, she is my sister." As she saw my horrified face, she added. "But that doesn't mean that I'm like her. I'm not going to use you and try to conquer the world. I'm the opposite of her. I'm trying to stop her." She said, trying to reassure me.

"Okay…" I said half whispering. I didn't know if I trusted her or not. I just seem to accept the fact that she, of all people, was Neferet's sister.

"What does it have to do with Kalona trying to catch me then?"

"He is searching for someone." She looked at a faraway place. "Something about a Prophecy. The Snow Bearer." She said mumbling. But then looked at me as I stared at the ground.

"Do you know your affinity, Diana?" she asked out of blue.

Don't tell her. The goddess's voice echoed inside my mind. She is trustworthy but you shouldn't tell her for now.

"I don't know what my affinity is." I lied to her, my eyes fixed on the statue of Nyx. It was like her eyes were looking at me. I got a hold of myself and forced myself to look away from the statue. I saw my mentor Natasha; she looked like she was thinking but then smiled.

"Don't worry. He won't try something on you again." Then she mumbled, frowning. "I guess you're not the one…" but then she smiled again. Kind of a fake smile.

"I don't want to attend the lessons tonight. Can I start to the school tomorrow?" I looked at her hopefully.

"Sure. But just for tonight."

"Ok." That was the end of our conversation as I went towards my dorm room.

I laid down on my bed. It wasn't like I was an anti-social girl. I was very social when I wanted to be. But right now, I didn't want to talk. All I wanted was to think and calm my nerves down. I wanted to think about my affinity, about Nyx and about myself... But I didn't. Instead, I stared at the ceiling as I thought of nothing.

I wanted to sleep, but I wasn't anywhere near sleepy. Not at all. And it was boring to look at the ceiling, so I stood up and had a shower. Because showering somehow makes me get relaxed. The hot water against my skin makes me feel peaceful.

After I got out of the shower and dried my body and hair. After I got dressed with comfy jeans and a t-shirt that said "I just a normal teen.", which to me sounded perfectly a lie as I thought of the situation I was in, I looked outside the window. The moon made me remember my mark. Silver…

"I wish I wasn't a vampire." I sighed. "Or at least a normal vampire." I chuckled dryly. "But that's impossible. The moon or the stars won't be able to grant my wishes… This is just so childish…" I sighed again.

"I'm booored." I exclaimed as I stuffed my face in to the pillow. "I need to get out of here. It is depressing me while no one else is here to talk." A sudden mood change. Yeah, that's me.

I went out of the room and walked towards the stairs. Our room was somewhere at the center of the hall.

"Aphrodite!" someone yelled behind a door.

"What?" Aphrodite's voice was somewhat harsh. "It is not like we can make him stop by talk! How can you think that after we tell him to get away from the newbies, he'll obey?"

"I know I know." Said the other voice again." But we have to do something! I don't want anybody getting hurt because of him!"

"That wish is far away to be granted." A boy said. Wait a minute, a boy? What was he doing in the girl's dorm?

I shrugged after some seconds. It isn't my problem, is it? All I know is Aphrodite is in there. Oh yeah, she was going to meet with the gang. She told it after I woke up. How can I forget?

"Anyways…" I said as I passed the door. But the voices were getting louder and louder, if they got anymore louder, I am sure that someone will hear them. And that someone might be Kalona's clone… Kalona! Was he still out there? I was not sure, and I didn't want to get sure by looking for him outside.

A sigh made its way out of my lips as I knocked hardly on the door. "Guys, shut up. If you get any louder everyone hear you." I said loudly for them to hear. The voices immediately stopped. Then I turned away and started to go down stairs.

My foot, almost ironically, took me to the Rec hall. Here, I was standing at the center of the hall, where Kalona's clone tried to catch me…

"What am I doing here anyway…" I mumbled to myself. I wasn't like this before. What had happened to the little ol' me? Oh yeah, I was marked. Specially.

*Sigh* "I am boored." Although I met Kalona's clone and learned that Natasha was Neferet's sister, I was not enjoying this surprises.

"Nyx." I called to the new goddess as I took the "spirit candle", as Aphrodite called it.

"Please tell me everything that I should know because this new life of mine is getting really confusing." I wasn't really expecting an answer but I just wanted to say it. I mean, this is really confusing and being the curious person I am, I need to know! It is as if I am growing by feeding on information and imagination instead of food, as every normal human would. But I'm still not normal even for a vampire. I need blood, right? Well, I don't want it. No stunning cause, I just don't want to be fed by some human folk.

Do you really wish to know my child?

I was startled at first when I heard the goddess inside my mind.

"Heck, YES!" uh, no. Not a good way to talk to a goddess. "I mean, yes I want to, goddess Nyx of the night." I heard a chuckle while I was talking. She was giggling at my sudden outburst.

Well then, my child. For you to understand me, I think you should first search about the Prophecy that Natasha talked about, shouldn't you? She was guiding me.

"Thanks." I thanked her, really meaning it. "Then when I learn about it, I can talk with you again?"

Yes, she answered. But not before that. You need to understand some things. You can ask Zoey and her team for help, they will be glad to help you.

"I will find out about that prophecy and talk to you in no time." I said to her and then got out of the Rec Hall. Then I continued to walk towards the girls dorm. If I had the help of the gang, I'm sure that I will talk to her in no time.

Stellacisem: so, how was it? Most of you said that the story wasn't rushed, so I didn't changed anything or edit the chapters. Hope you enjoyed this chapter too! :D
