Hey, I don't own Shadow Falls. Wish I did, but I don't.

A few days later, Samantha decided that it was time to finally talk to Kylie, one of the Shadow Falls counselors. She had been contemplating on what to ask her, but she finally decided that honesty was the best policy. After breakfast, Sam chose to skip meeting another camp mate and talk to Kylie instead. She found the twenty-four year old sitting and talking with Holiday in her office. When Sam entered, the two women looked up at her. Holiday seemed to know what she wanted.

"Kylie, why don't you take Samantha into the conference room?"

She followed Kylie into a large room and started to make a pot of coffee as Sam sat down.

"So what seems to be the problem?" she asked nonchalantly.

"Well I told you what I told Holiday." She took a deep breath. "So my brain pattern says I'm a vampire, but I have no supernatural powers at all. I can only read patterns and people say my eyes change colors." Sam waited for a reaction but Kylie just sipped on her coffee as if it was no big deal. Sam didn't know if that made her feel better or worse. "And I don't want to tell anyone because they'll think I'm a freak. I told Jason a few days ago though and he didn't think I was weird or anything." Sam could tell that she was starting to ramble so she stopped before she got any more nervous.

Kylie took a moment to speak as though choosing her words carefully. "So that was you on that falcon the other day?" she said rhetorically. "As for your vampire problem, I know exactly how you feel. When I came here when I was sixteen, I had no gifts either and everyone thought I was weird. But my gifts slowly came one by one and before I knew it, I had most of my powers in a few months. Did I have control of them? No." she laughed. "But I did have them." Sam seemed to hang onto every word. "So I would say just be patient. But I want you to show up at the office tomorrow at six thirty."

"What for?" Sam said in speculation. "Why that early?"

Kylie only laughed a little. "You'll see! Now why don't you go since camp mate hour is almost over?"

She escorted the girl out on the porch and bid her a good day. Once the office door was closed, Sam's phone chimed, indicating an incoming text. It was Jason.

You wanna hang since we don't have any activities today?

Yeah sure. Where?

How about the lake in 30?

Sounds good!

Thirty minutes later, Sam met Jason at the lake. They greeted each other and then Jason immediately took off his shirt. He is so much cuter without his shirt on! she thought. Sam followed suit and removed her clothes and dove in the lake. When she resurfaced, she looked around to find Jason, but he was nowhere in sight. All of a sudden, Sam was pulled under the water. When she reached air again, she heard Jason laughing behind her.

A few minutes later, he asked "What's your favorite water animal?"

She thought for a moment. "An otter." Suddenly, sparkles filled the air around them and an adorable otter replaced Jason. "Awww! You're adorable!" Sam said as she picked up the cute creature and tread water.

"Not as adorable as you." Otter Jason winked.

She threw him into in the lake as she started to float on her back. "Not a chance otter boy." Jason turned back to his regular self and floated beside Sam. "When were you able to start using your powers?"

"When I was about six or seven. You're not still worried about that are you?"

"Hell yeah I'm worried! I'm worried that one day, I'll need to defend myself or someone else and I won't be able to. What if I go this whole summer and don't learn anything new or don't have any of my gifts?" Sam sighed deeply. "Never mind. I'm just overreacting. It'll be fine."

After an hour of swimming and splashing and turning into odd sea creatures, Jason walked Sam to her cabin, the two laughing the whole way. Ten minutes later, they finally reached her cabin.

"We should do that again." he said with a smile.

Sam smiled back. "I'd like that."

Then, Jason did something that caught Sam completely off guard. He kissed her. She put her arms around his neck while he put his around her waist. Sam felt like kissing him was so right. He made her forget all of her stress from having no supernatural powers and just coming to camp. After a few seconds of passion, Jason pulled away and smiled. "I'll see you at lunch."

"Yeah." she said still smiling.

Sam walked inside and was immediately bombarded with questions from Clara and Isabel both.

"Who was outside?" asked Clara.

Isabel added "Where have you been?"

"Why didn't you tell us?" "Did you guys kiss?" "What happened?"

"I'll tell you guys if you'll let me talk!" Sam said loudly. Both Clara and Isabel got incredibly quiet. "So…" she started, "Jason and I went to the lake and swam for a bit. That's it!"

"Are you sure that's all that happened?" Clara said.

"You know, you're kind of a chatter box after you get to know someone." The girl shrugged. "Well we did kiss before I walked in."

"Was it good or did he like use too much tongue?" Isabel asked. "Because I've had a guy do that before and it was like he was trying to clean the inside of my mouth!" All three girls laughed.

"No, he didn't try to clean my mouth." Sam said through giggles. "It was… really hot." The three friends laughed again. Over the past week, they had grown really close, but they still didn't know about Sam's vampire problem.

At six thirty the next morning, Sam met with Kylie at the office. Sam had only gotten about four hours of sleep and was exhausted.

"So what am I here for?"

Kylie said simply, "We are going to run."

Sam was confused and thought for a second. "…like laps?"

"Sort of." And with those short words, the chameleon shot off. Samantha was stunned but followed right after. Kylie was fast and it was hard for her to keep up, but she did. The two ran down to the lake and once there, Kylie took a sharp turn and ran onto a path in the woods. Sam followed her when she picked up the pace. Sam realized that she was running slightly faster than she normally did and was still keeping up with Kylie. She was ecstatic. She pushed herself even further and slowly but surely caught up with the chameleon and matched her pace. After a while of playing keep up, the two finally stopped. Sam realized that they were close to the office.

Sam breathed heavily. "Did we just run around the whole camp?"

Kylie was hardly winded by their run. "Almost." she said truthfully. "But you did awesome! That was way faster than any human."

Sam was so eager to find out more. "That was so cool! How fast was that compared to other vampires?"

"That was like a slow jog." Both Kylie and Sam laughed. "But it's progress! You wanna do it again later this week?"

"Definitely! I wanna see how much faster I can get. But do you have a plan to help jump start my hearing and smell yet?"

"Not yet. But I'm working on it. It's almost time for breakfast so how about you come back at the same time in two days?"

"Sounds like a plan!"

When Sam sat down at breakfast, she looked around for Jason. She suddenly heard a tray drop down beside her and looked up. She was disappointed when she saw Brandon instead of Jason.

"Not happy to see me?" he said in a teasing tone.

"I always forget that you can read my emotions. But it's not because it's you." Sam said truthfully. "I just thought you were Jason."

Brandon's brow furrowed and he looked serious. "Why do you need to see him?"

Clara suddenly sat down. "Yeah, why do you need to see Jason?"

Isabel pipped up loudly, "Yeah! ...what are we talking about?"

"Shhhh! I'll tell all of you guys after breakfast!" she said desperately.

"Oh my God, you didn't sleep with him did you?!" Isabel said loudly.

"Isabel! Number one, no. I still have my v-card. Number two, we aren't even dating. Number three, do you not remember that a lot of the supernaturals here have super hearing?!"

Isabel giggled. "Oops!"

Samantha didn't see Jason for the rest of the day. He didn't even reply to her texts. So she decided to stop by his cabin after dinner. She knocked on the door and a were she knew as Chris answered the door.

"What do you want?" he said as he scowled. Vampires and werewolves were like the Capulets and the Montagues, predator and alien, Caesar and Pompey. They practically hated each other.

Sam took a defensive stance. "Is Jason here?"

"Why does a vamp like you care about where Jason is?"

Sam got angrier with this bad tempered were. "Is he here?" she spit out.

Chris' scowl stayed. "He left this morning to see his mother."

Sam's temper got the best of her. "Thanks, you prick." She turned and left.

"Back at you bitch!" Chris slammed the door so hard the whole cabin shook. Werewolves had awfully bad tempers but Sam could easily match it.

Why wouldn't he tell me he was leaving? I wonder if she's okay. Sam checked her phone for what seemed like the tenth time that hour. I wonder when he'll be back. Sam walked into her cabin and saw Isabel and Clara sitting on the couch, talking.

She spoke up. "Did you find out where he was?"

"Chris, the asshole, self-centered were told me he left this morning to see his mother. God, I could wring his scrawny neck!"

"Whoa," Isabel said, raising her hands, "calm down Ms. Orange Eyes. Yeah, he might be a complete jerk, but what guy isn't?"

"Jason." she said with a smile.

"Looks like someone's in loooove!" Clara said with a teasing tone. Sam threw a pillow at her.

"Nuh uh! I just really, really, really like him."

"I'm jealous." Isabel confessed. "I wish I could get a boy that quickly. But I'll think about that in bed. Night y'all!"

Sam went to bed soon after Isabel did. She stayed up late hoping that Jason would text her telling her that he was okay or when he'd be back. But no such text came and so she soon fell asleep dreaming about the boy she had fallen head over heels over.

Hello readers! I hope you're having a good day. And I also hope that you are liking this story. But I don't think most views are. Oh well! I'll keep posting for my one follower and my other favorite.

Yall should get your friends to read it too. And if they don't want to, tie them down and read it to them. Just kidding, don't do that. Bye now!
