Lucy POV

Oh. My. God.

Nicholas is even hotter than before, if that's even possible. His dark hair was perfect, his eyes mysterious and … Staring at me.

Snap out of it, I told myself. He left you a long time ago. He didn't call, didn't text, email or anything. Nothing.

I looked behind him to see Quinn drooling over Hunter, and the rest of them gaping at us.

Nicholas POV

Lucy was SO hot. Her hair was darker and longer, her tight clothes showed off her slim frame, her beautiful eyes . . . I sound like a girl, don't I? Well, technically girl used to mean 'young person', female or male, but I'm twenty, now, so I'm not that young.

"Dude," Logan said, drawing me out of my trance.

"Mhmm?"

"You're drooling."

"Oh."

I wiped it away and looked at my brothers again. Standing next to Quinn was Solange, who was staring in awe and shock at my girlfriend – wait, ex girlfriend. She looked like she didn't believe that it was Lucy, her former best friend.

When Lucy and her two friends reached us, they stood with their hands on hips in front of us, their hair blowing back in the wind. It made Lucy look like she belonged in some movie: Smoky mysterious eyes, dark hair wild, she even had the scary-but-hot-and-sexy clothes. I could easily imagine her as an evil villain.

"Drakes," she said with a nod. Dad stepped forwards and so did Mom.

"Lucy. Who are your friends?" he spoke as if we hadn't been gone for almost two years.

"These are Hunter and Chloe, my roommates. Kieran should be joining us in a minute, along with my boyfriend." I couldn't help but feel jealous that she had moved on and gotten herself a boyfriend. "Unfortunately, Nate won't be staying for long; he has other things to do."

Mom stepped forwards again, her black braid threatening to whip me in the face as it blew. "That will be fine," she said. "Where shall we go?"

"Follow me," Lucy's friend Hunter said, beginning to lead us through a bunch of corridors. We got to a big hall and Hunter stopped there. She gestured for us to go in, as some boy came up behind Lucy and grabbed her waist.

"Hey," he whispered into her ear.

"Hey," she said, before turning around to kiss the boy, who I assumed was Nate. I turned my head away, disgusted seeing my ex kissing some dude. The hall was really big, it had fancy designs on the walls and the Helios-Ra crest on the wall that you saw when you walked in. A big table was in the center.

"Sit down, please," the headmistress said. Lucy's boyfriend left as Kieran arrived and she walking in and sat down next to Hunter & Chloe with him. She put down her bag and looked at the headmistress to signal her to begin. It was actually quite amusing that she told the head of the school what to do.

"So, we hear that you have a proposition for us," the headmistress (Mom said her name was Miss Bellwood) said. Dad nodded and went into full on business mode.

"Yes, my son, Nicholas, said that-" he was cut off by a large crash coming from the door. Lucy groaned.

"Really? Now?"

A bunch of vamps flooded the hall, all looking fierce and hungry. There were yells and groans as many vampires turned to dust on the ground. More Helios agents all came in and helped. Lucy, Chloe, Hunter and Kieran all stood up and grabbed weapons as chaos broke out. I ducked as a stake was thrown at one of the vamps as he tried to grab Logan. The vampire crumbled into ashes. I looked to see who had thrown the stake: it was Lucy.

She chucked a stake at me, not literally at me (to stake me) but for me to stake another vampire.

"Thanks," I muttered before ducking away.

Lucy POV

Typical.

You don't get a vamp attack for 5 months, then when there's an important meeting, they decide to crash it.

I was lucky that I had stacked mine, C's and H's bags full of stakes and weapons of all sorts; we could really use them, now. I saw Nate grin at me as he staked some blonde vamp. I grinned back wildly and flipped out of the way of a charging vampire. Nicholas looked amazed, but I was taught to flip when I went to gymnastics when I was 8, so it was nothing new at all.

Helena was in her element as she twirled around, staking various vamps as they came at her from all directions. Logan and Quinn were punching people, weaponless, so I threw them each a stake.

"Thanks," they yelled together before finishing off some of the vampires.

Connor, Marcus and Sebastian were all kicking and staking more with the broken legs of some chairs, Hunter and Chloe were backing up some vamps into a corner, Liam was with Helena, Duncan was going to join Logan and Quinn and Nicholas was heading towards me. I roundhouse kicked the vampire nearest to me and broke his nose, leaving him holding onto his nose, distracted as I staked him with the arm rest of my chair.

I had to grab all of the used stakes from all of the piles of dust because all of the stake from my bag had gone.

When the fight was over, Bellwood stood up on the one remaining chair that wasn't broken to pieces.

"Now, where were we?"

A/N: sorry if it sucked! I absolutely suck at intense fight scenes!

Thanks for all of the reviews, once again! More reviews = Faster update!

Look out for mine and Hunter Agnes Wild's new joint story, Something for Solange. It should be up soon and we've already written up the first chapter!
