ZERO'S POV

The school day seemed to be going incredibly slow after the morning I'd had. I tried to avoid talking to Newton, Trixie and Vin, which was hard to do when at least one of them was in all of my classes other than art and music. I sighed; I was currently slumped in my seat next to Vin in Miss Macbeths' Math class staring out the small windows to the happy world beyond the thin barrier.

BRING!

A smile spread across my face as the bell gave a shrill call signaling the next class. I hoped out of my chair gathered my things and left the room quickly to my last class; music class.

"ZERO WAIT UP!" Vin called after me, I stopped and waited cursing and thinking of making a bolt for it while I could. Vin came up beside me puffing" Trixie put me in your music and art classes so that you're not alone with your twin, just in case." Vin said, I scowled, the only two classes that I was actually good at and now I had to have Vin there. Just bloody fantastic.

I guided Vin to the music room as he chatted about not even knowing they had a music room here as I rolled my eyes and gave the occasional agreement. Vin finally shut up when we got to the front of an old building with faded lavender paint and gray windows. I walked up to the old double doors and pushed them open to reveal a small group of students, there was only around ten students in the music group including me and Vin. I walked in and sat down on the ground like all the other chattering students and made small talk with the smaller kids. I found that I got along with the younger students a lot better than my own year group and occasionally played with them in the park, unknown to everyone else at the school, of course.

A small girl called Ella came up to me and sat on my lap and laughed as I began to tickle her. Ella had been the first person in music to talk to me and hadn't been afraid of me; she was only seven years old with curly blond hair and soft hazel eyes with freckles covering her checks. She laughed as she began to gather her three other friends to gang up on me in a tickle fight. They beat me obviously, so I was being sat on by two small kids while Ella and her friend Sammy tickled me so much I was finding it hard to breathe

"S-Stop… E-Ella….. I can't breathe….. Get Vin instead!" I said between laughter and breathing. The tickling stopped as the girls got off me and headed towards Vin who was rolling on the floor laughing at me as the small girls had me on the floor. I stood up and watched as the kids pounced on Vin using the same technique as me but only one person on top of Vin's back and two others tickling, I stood in front of Vin, arms folded in front of me Ella standing beside me mimicking my position. I laughed at the expression on Vin's face and high fived Ella.

"Ok guys I think he's suffered enough" I said as the girl's giggled and got off standing beside me, they all gave me a hug and ran to the opposite side of the room. Vin was still breathing hard on the floor.
"Sad Vin, you got taken down by a group of seven year olds" I said shaking my head as I helped him up.
"They took you down too, who were they any way? You know them?" he asked, I nodded.
"Yeah, I meet Ella – the small blond one- before I meet you, Trix and Newton, she came up to me during music, I don't remember how but somehow we became friends and she introduced me to the rest of her little group. I usually get along better with younger kids than people my own age…." I said as Mr. Stevenson walked into the room silencing everybody.

"Ok class we have a new person in our music class, he's not new to the school but make him feel welcome all the same. Now form your groups from Tuesday and have a rehearsal outside or inside for half an hour than come back here." With that the other kids formed there groups as I dragged Vin to the corner were my group was waiting.

"Hey Zero!" Ella said happily and gave me a tight hug running around me and jumping onto my back so I was giving her a piggyback.

"Hey Ella, haven't seen that army of mutant geese have you?" I asked the small girl over my shoulder, attack of the mutant geese was a game Ella's little group always played in the park fighting against the army with a larger army of ducks.

Ella giggled "Nope I think you helped scare them off yesterday with your robot penguin!" Ella said happily. Vin looked at me an eyebrow raised stifling a laugh, I shrugged my shoulders.

"Come on Ella, we've got to rehears our song." I said putting her down and she ran off towards the other members of the group.

"So the great Zero has a soft spot for little kids huh" Vin said. I punched him on the shoulder.
"Shut up Vin, everybody has a weakness. Even you" I said and walked off towards the group.

VIN'S POV

I still couldn't believe that Zero wasn't a constant cold hearted person, but the fact that she was friends with someone before I.N.K. was even more surprising. I followed Zero's music group outside but froze half way out the door. There he was.

Sam. (A/N Gods I really got to get a better evil person name. I mean seriously "OH no look out its Sam oh the horror!" Gods what was I thinking *Facepalm*)

Zero came up to me to see why I was standing there and froze her eyes stuck on the form of her brother, his hair was shaggy and black framing his olive skinned face his eyes were a shade of brown that was practically red, he was basically the exact opposite of Zero. Zero's hand was frozen on the sleeve of my shirt ready to pull me away. Sam smiled at her his teeth abnormally large and canine like. Zero began clutching her head and squatted on the ground curled up in a ball her brow was wrinkled and she was obviously in pain. I bent down beside her and put a hand on her back, I was really worried now her eyes were open but they were glazed over and staring out at nothing. I quickly called over the teacher and was told to take her to the nurse's office and stay with her. I picked Zero up bridal style only to be stopped by Ella.
"Zero! Is she alright please tell me she's alright!"Ella said tears streaming down her face as she looked up at me while clutching Zero's hand. Zero had flopped her eyes closed and her face peaceful with her head leaning o my shoulder.

"She's going to be fine" I said to the sobbing girl. She didn't stop crying. "Look if you're that worried you can come with me to the nurse's office" I said and Ella's face instantly brightened.

We took Zero to the nurse's office and after a quick check up the nurse said that she had simply fainted. Fainted my butt, there was no way she 'simply fainted' but I wasn't about to start an argument and told the nurse I'd take Zero to her dorm and wait for her to wake up. So after much hassle with the stairs I finally got Zero to her room and got Ella to open the door. I placed Zero under the covers of her bed and Ella jumped up onto the bed and clutched Zero's hand.

"So how long have you known Z for?" Ella asked looking at me with big curious eyes.

I chuckled at her expression and nickname for Zero "About two-three years now" I said.

"Are you her boyfriend?" at this I was basically choking on the air

"WHAT? No where would you get that idea from!" I said a blush creeping onto my face.

"Ah so you're not her boyfriend but you like her" Ella said ignoring my question. At this point my cheeks were flaming crimson.

"NO WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THESE IDEAS FROM!" I yelled.

"I'm smarter than I look y'know" Ella said folding her arms across her small chest. I sighed she was actually smarter than I thought.

"Ok what if I do like her, what of it?" at this Ella giggled.

"It means I won the bet!" Ella said happily jumping off the bed.

"What bet?" I asked honestly having no clue

"The bet on whether you liked Z or not and most of my group said no but I said yes so I won!" And with that she happily jumped back onto the bed and proceeded to jump up and down on the bed .

Zero ground and through her pillow at Ella that hit her in the face and laughed as she hid under the covers of her bed as Ella lunched at her with the pillow Zero had just chucked. I rolled my eyes but couldn't help but wonder how one little kid could brighten Zero up so much.

"What's up Z worried I'll kill your robot penguin?" Ella said as she tried to get under the large blanket that Zero was using as a shield. I decided that Ella could use a little help and stood up and proceeded to rip the blanket off Zero as Ella continued to bash her with the pillow.

"Ah come on Ella quite it or I will get my robot penguin!" Zero said her voice slightly muffled from the pillow. Ella backed off, her face red from the effort of whacking Zero.

"So I guess your felling better then" I said and Zero looked at me and froze, I gave her a quizzical look and turned.

"Ah subject 000 long time no see" Sam said his voice sending icy chills through my body.

"You must be Zero's brother Sam" I said trying not to launch at the b!#%($d.

Sam smirked and walked forward, I heard Zero jump off the bed and stand beside me Ella hiding behind her. Sam suddenly struck out with alarming speed, hitting Zero in the gut and sending me into the wall of Zero's room and snatching Ella by the back of her shirt. Ella struggled to get out of his grip, kicking and punching him but not getting any results.

"So subject 000 or Zero now wasn't it? I have a proposition for you. Tonight at 10:30 I will meet you in the middle of the park and fight you." Sam said a smirk plastered on his face.

"And what if I refuse" Zero said her face creepily showing no emotion.

Sam growled an animalistic growl and a terrible ripping sound echoed off the walls as his skin was replaced with long shaggy fur, his nose growing into a long muzzle, teeth growing and talons piercing the skin at the ends of his fingers. He was like a small-but obviously powerful- werewolf.

"Well Zero I think that gives you enough of an answer" he said as he created a shallow cut down the side of Ella's face. She cried out in pain and struggled harder but to no avail.

"Stop it Sam you're hurting her! She's got nothing to do with this!" Zero said worry now claiming her face her, her eyes shining in the dim light of the afternoon.

"Don't worry Zero I won't kill her unless you don't show up at the park at 10:30 tonight, if you don't show then I guess the school will have one less student to worry about" Sam said his claws tightening on the material of Ella's shirt.

"You b!)*#^d" Zero said and before I could stop him Sam ran out the door Zero hot on his tail.

THUD!

I ran out the room to find… that Zero, in her hurry, hadn't noticed Van opening her door and ran face first into the door. Even in the situation I couldn't help but roll my eyes as I walked over to the dazed Zero and proceeded to drag her by the arms back to her dorm. There was nothing we could do at the moment for Ella, but wait….

HAHA CLIFFY I FEEL SO EVIL MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
