-----
We're done with Montana. Bye bye!...Bye Chelsea. Bye Josh...
I sighed. I would miss them, but I'll just have to deal with it. I told Darren about Chelsea and Josh, and he said they'll forget all about me.
I hope so.
"Where are we even going!" I almost yelled about 7 days of travel. Being locked up in a van with Darren and Evra wasn't exactly my dream land. I laied in my hammok, and Evra sat on a bean-bag chair, strumming his guitar. I played guitar too, and piano, but I was just to tired to do anything. I just realized I haven't been drinking blood since I was changed, and I was getting really weak. Sure, all of me wasn't vampire, but it's been a good few weeks. I put my head back on my pillow, and laied my hands over my closed eyes. I suddenly shot up, after seeing my dad, with my eyes closed. I fell out of the hammok, scrambling to my feet.
"What the heck?!" I looked around, and everything was still there.
"Madie, are you okay?" Darren asked standing.
"Uh what yeah" I responded quickly. I sat back down and looked out the window. Why is it snowing?!
"What's today?" I asked no one in particular.
"December 29th, why?" But then he suddenly realized. "Christmas. I forgot all about that!" Darren stood and paced. I stopped him by putting my hands on his shoulders and looking him in the eyes.
"Calm down. It's just Christmas now, we're not human, why does it matter?" I asked, though I sounded pretty depressed. Christmas was my favorite time of year.
"Yeah...you're right." Darren sounded depressed too. He looked over at Evra. "Have you ever celebrated Christmas?"
"Naw, the Cirque only celebrated when they remember. I joined when I was 2, 2 days old that is, so I never did." Evra answered, not looking up from his guitar.
"Really?" I asked. I sat on another bean-bag. I put my head in my hands. "Why couldn't I just be normal? Why did I have to be all suspishous with Darren!" I pointed towards him.
"I don't know, just because maybe you were jelouse?"(A/N: Spell fail on jelouse lol) Darren countered me.
"Ooooo that's cold." Evra said finally looking up.
"Jelouse?! You think I'm jelouse? Maybe it was because I knew my sister could almost kill you! Maybe because I cared about you! And maybe, just maybe, because I didn't want you to go through what I went through everyday! But just maybe, I did like you." I yelled, but not loud enough for anyone else to hear, except for Darren and Evra. The vans stopped and I jumped out. I stomped off to Mr. Crepsley's van, and knocked on the door. He called for me to come in, so I did.
"Mr. Crepsley, can I go to that Camp now? I mean not that I don't like it here, but I think I should learn more about who I am." I lied. I really did love it here, everyone but one person.
"Of course, how are you going to get there?" Mr. Crepsley asked.
"Using magic and walking." I answered.
"Excelent. You may go."
"Thank you, I'll come back soon."
"Good, we will need you."
I nodded and stepped out. I used magic to have my bag in my hand. I could hear two sets of footsteps behind me. Probably Darren and Evra. I heard a wind and saw Darren infront of me.
"What? I can't go to camp?" I asked him, sorta angry, but not at him. At myself.
"Don't go. I'm sorry, I'm an idiot--" Darren got cut off.
"He is!" Evra added. (A/N: AHHHH I JUST SPILLED ICE CREAM ON MY COMPUTER!!!!!)
"Not helping!" Darren glared at Evra.
"But you are!"
Darren just kept glaring at Evra.
"Well maybe I should go, let you two work it out." I mumbled, pushing past Darren.
"Fine." Darren snapped.
"Fine!" I shouted, but only Darren could hear.
"Good!"
"Good!" I began to walk away, until Darren's hand caught my arm. He pulled me into a hug. I tried not to melt in his arms, like the girl I am, but I failed. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him back. I finally took a step back, and looked up at him with glassy eyes.
"Darren, I really do have to go. I have to learn more about what I am." I mumbled. I hugged him again, and kissed him on the cheek. I turned, before he could do anything, and walked, starting my new life. (For now)
Few days later....
I ducked, avoiding a punch from one of my trainer. I stabbed towards him with my sword, and tried to poke his chest. He pushed me back, and I landed on my butt.
"Ha! Percy-4 Madie-zeeeeroooo!" Percy sang. I jumped up and stabbed him in the chest with my fencing sword.
"Ha! Percy-4 Madie-ooooooone!" I sang right back. We both laughed, and walked outside. We went to go find our satyr friend, Grover. I still couldn't stop thinking about Darren. The hurt in his eyes, and Evra behind him, looking as sad as a snake-boy could be.
I hadn't told anyone about the Cirque, but they knew what I was.
I suddenly fell to my knees, weak. I heard Percy go on a few steps, but then stopped and turned around to face me.
"Madie? Madie what's wrong?!" Percy asked worried. He bent down and studied me. I knew I wasn't going to be able to say words, so I pointed to my neck and mimed fangs.
Blood.
"Got it!" Percy jumped up and ran off to the main house, where Chiron was. "O please gods, let's have Madie get what she needs!" I could hear Percy mumble. No one was at camp, and we didn't know why.
I sat on the ground and brought my knees to my chest. I knew I was just weak, and needed blood. We would laugh!
In a long, long, long, time.
I haven't fed since I was changed, but that was because I refused.
What an idiot I am!
I heard foots steps and the clonking of hooves against the grass.
"Madie, are you okay?" Chiron asked. He helped me to my feet, but I just went limp. Percy caught me and tried to keep me up. "Have you been feeding at all?"
I shook my head 'no'. (A/N: I put 'no' because in a book it says that people from another place shake their head for yes and nod for no. ITALY PEOPLE WAVE WITH THEIR HAND FACING THEM. ITS COOL!)
"Why not?!" Chiron asked, neither mad or worried.
"Refused." I managed to choak out. He sighed.
"Percy, will you allow Madie to feed off of you? She won't kill you, or knock you out." Chiron asked to Percy.
"No!" I almost shouted. "I won't!"
"Yeah you will." Percy handed me to Chrion to keep me up. He cut his wrist with a stick he found. I looked up at him and glared. Did he really want me to do this. "You will, you need it, or you will die."
"No no" I fussed. I stood up but stumbled. "I'm just tired. I'm goin to bed." I stumbled off to our cabin and fumbled with the handel. I stepped in and walked over to the little pond we had in the corrner. I put my hand in, and found a golden drachea. (Epic spell fail)
"O Iris, accept my offering." I muttered and threw the coin in to the mist. "Darren Shan and Evra Von, Cirque Du Freak." The mist shimmered and showed Darren and Evra sitting in their van, looking all depressed.
"Darren. Evra." I managed to choak out again. Darren's head snapped up, but Evra was asleep.
"Madie! Where are you? You look terible!" Darren stood up.
"I'm at Camp Half-Blood, yeah and I know I look terible. I haven't been feeding and it's really catching up with me." I explained.
"Well then go! Feed! You'll die!" Darren almost yelled. "Wait here!" He ran off.
"Evra? Evra?" I called. He looked up, and when he saw me, his face lit up.
"Madie! You look terible!" Evra stood up too.
"Yeah I haven't been feeding. Go find Darren and stop him from what he's doing, please?" I asked.
"Sure!" He ran off to go find Darren. I sighed and laied back on the floor. I heard the door knob jingle, and Percy stepped in. He looked up and saw the mist.
"Who are you talking to?" he asked.
"Why, nosey." I stood up and stammered.
"Because you look terible, witch."
I threw the nearest thing at him, but he dodged with ease. He laughed and walked out. I looked back at the mist, and the door opened in the van.
"Darren, what the heck were you doing?" I asked, sitting up.
"Going to get Mr. Crepsley. You look terible, but you're in a whole different place, so we can't help. When are you comming back?" Darren asked. I saw that they were both concerned.
"A.S.A.P. Probably today. I'll just use magic to get there, I don't care." I put my head in my hands.
"Good, we can help when you come back."
"Then I'll come now." I waved my hand through the mist to cut off the connection. Now I'm going to have to go find Percy, tell him I'm going, and leave before he can do anything about it. Weeeee!
******
"Percy, weither you like it or not, I'm leaving. I'm going back to where I was." I explained.
"No! You're way too weak." He protested.
"Boohoo." I pulled my wand out of my back-pocket, and poofed myself back to the Cirque. It always took alot out of me. I was in Darren and Evra's van, and I fell back on my hammok. I was weak, and I deffiently could feel it.
"Wait, are you sure this is going to work? No brain damage?" I could hear Evra whisper.
"Yes. I am sure!" Mr. Crepsley replied, sounding annoyed.
"Okay okay!" Evra sounded scared. I acted sound asleep when 3 people walked in.
"Okay, so you're going to hypnotize her so that she litterly goes back in time. Before you blooded her and what not?" Darren asked.
"Yes!" Mr. Crepsley sounded really annoyed. I tried not to move a mussle in my face, and I succeded. (A/N: Like i said, no spell check)
I heard footsteps comming closer, and a cool hand on my head. I could hear mumbling words from a different language.
Everything that's happened to me, since the incident with Sparks, raced through my mind. Faces, scenes, snap-shots. My eyes closed tighter, wanting the images to dissappear, and suddenly, the pictures stopped. My memory was gone.
One Hour Later...
I woke, startled. I looked around. Did I fall asleep? I sighed and shook my head. I stood up and went over to the door. I walked to the bathroom, shocked my sisters wern't there, and looked at my face in the mirror. My hair was almost standing on the top of my head, and my eyes had black circles around them. I sighed. No time for sleep, I have to get ready for school which is in, about, 1 week. I sighed, again. I turned and loocked the bathroom door. I turned on the shower and hopped in. I washed up, rinsed and jumped out, almost slipping. I caught myself and dried off. I'd brought clothes in and I got dressed. I quickly ran a comb through my hair and brushed my teeth. I ran my fingers through my hair and tried to get it to dry faster. I looked down at my clothes; a t-shirt with a stick figure on it. It had little fangs on it and another stick-figure had a ballerina tu-tu on. 'While other little girls wanted to be Ballerinas'it said on top. 'I wanted to be a Vampire' on the bottom. I had on skinny jeans on too. I stepped out and walked back to my room.
"Where is everyone?" I mumbled. My adopted-dad hasn't slapped me yet, and my adopted-mom hasn't locked me in my closet yet. I shrugged. So far so good! I sat on my bed and put on my black converse, when I saw something poking from under my bed. I ducked down and looked. I pulled it all out and it was school suplise.
"Your welcome." A sticky-note said. "From, Chelsea and Josh" I smiled. They were the only one of my adopted brothers and sisters who auctually liked me. I slid the stuff back under and sighed. Looks like I got time on my hands. I stepped out the bedroom door I share with my sisters and out through the living room. I decided I would go see my only friend, Briony. (A/N: She's my friend from the U.K. Review if your one of those peeps! Btw, Americans, her name is pronounced Bri-ony. like Bri and only but no l in only. So yeah. Bye) I grabbed my bike and hopped on. I peadled my way through grass and dirt to the road. I stood and kept peadling. I looked up and saw that no one was home. I sighed and turned back around. Appreantly I'm going to the pool. Once I got back to the house, I ran into my bedroom I shared with my sisters and grabbed a bathing suit. My sisters had insisted that I bought it, and forced me to wear it atleast once this summer, or they'll burn me alive. I don't doubt them!
I quickly changed, and walked back out. I also grabbed my sunglasses and put them on. They were regular but they had a white trim. I wrapped my towel around me so I wouldn't have to carry it, and looked around. I didn't feel like taking my bike, or really anything for that matter. Looking down at my flip-flops, I began to walk to the pool. If I was right, it would take me about 20 minutes to get there. No big deal! Glad that I brought my phone, I pulled it out of the little pocket in the back of my swim-suit. (A/N: Btw, the link is going to be on my profile soon. Kay? Kay. :D) I looked through my contacts until I found Briony. I clicked options then 'New TextMessage'.
Hey Briony, I typed, where r u? im headin to the pool since i have nothing better to do, I sent.
After about a minute, she sent back.
Get your little butt over here! i wanna come too! I smiled.
Comming! I sent her.
I began to jog to her house, knowing how impatient she is. After a few minutes of jogging, I knocked on her window. She opened it swiftly and jumped out.
"Okay! Let's go before Steve leaves!" She began to run. I sighed. Steve was Briony's new crush. She's crazy for him, and won't stop talking about him. "I got a text from Emilie who heard from Jessica who saw Steve at the pool! Hurry!" I laughed.
"Comming!" And I ran. She was in love with him. Of course, it was just because of looks. I think that you should auctually get to know the guy, maybe say Hi at all, and then decide. She always believes in 'Love at First Sight'. I never did. I tried it once, never going back.
What usually took 40 minutes took only 20 to get there. That's how excited she was.
"Calm down!" I yelled after her. There were only a few people at the pool, and he was one of them. She turned back to me and put her hands on my shoulders and pulled me in the shadows.
"How do I look? Is my hair messed up? If my outfit okay? I asked my sisters and they said I looked amazing but I can't trust them! Is it ripped? Scratched? Tore? Tell me! Answer!" She whisper-yelled at me. "Sorry, but I'm excited!"
"You look amazing! Now go!" I pushed her. She stumbled a bit but then began to walk all cooly. I giggled and stayed in the shadows, feeling self-concious. I pulled the towel tighter around me, and sat under the high diving board, where there was shade. If people want to get tan, go sleep in the sun, not under light bulbs! I looked out on Briony, who was talking to Steve. I smiled, now she was auctually getting to know him. I grabbed all my stuff; a towel and a phone; and sat down on one of the lounge chairs. I watched them talking. I laied back and closed my eyes, resting. For what seemed like hours, was only minutes. I heard light feet comming over to me.
"Madie! Madie! I have a date tonight! Wanna come? We can make it a double date!" Briony spilled, sitting on the other chair leaning towards me.
I opened my eyes. "Who would I go with? No guy likes me in this small mixed up town."
"Auctually, I asked Darren and he really liked you!" Briony confessed.
"Darren? You mean my crush Darren?" I asked, excited.
"Yeah!"
"Okay, yeah I'll go." I tried to be calm.
"Thank you thank you thank you thank you!" Briony kept repeating and hugged me.
"Okay okay! I'll text him." I picked up my phone and found Darren. I pressed options and 'New TextMessage'
Hey Darren, I typed. Wanna go on a double-date with me? We would go with Briony and her new crush Steve, and I pressed send.
After a minute, he sent back, Sure, what time?
I looked up at Briony. "Time."
"7:30 and we meet at that new restrant, Open-Sky Montana."
I nodded and sent back 7:30, and at that new restrant, Open-Sky Montana
Got it, see you then Darren quickly sent back. I looked up at Briony.
"I hope you're happy, because I am too!"
"Good! Now c'mon, let's get ready!" She looked at her phone clock. "It's already 4:30!"
"Okay, even though I think it's early, let's go"
"Okay! But first..." Briony grabbed my phone out of my hand and my towel, but before I knew it she pushed me into the pool. I screamed and grabbed onto her arm. She dropped everything: My phone, her phone, out towles, and our sunglasses. We both went tumbling into the pool, and I jumped up and sat on the side. We both laughed and looked around. No one was there, except for Steve and a few people. I blushed and looked down. I stood up and helped Briony out. We grabbed out stuff and ran for her house. We were laughing on the way. She ordered me to take a shower, and I quickly did. She gave me clothes to put on for the time being. I put those on and stepped out. Briony did the same thing and I waited for her, messing with my phone. She came back in and went to her closet.
"Okay, you're going to wear a dark blue dress, since that's your favorite color and, well it looks awesome on you." She mumbled looking through her closet for the dress I always borrowed. I never likes dresses--or skirts for that matter. I only liked pants and shorts. I sighed and she laied it on the bed. "And you're also going to wear flats, since you'll trip and break your ankle in heels. Ooo and maybe you can wear this." She was now looking through her jewlery box. Scary things in there. Earings, bracelets, necklases, terible. I'm more of a tom-boy. "Here" She shoved it all in my arms. "Go change" She ordered. I sighed and went off to the bathroom. I quickly changed and looked at the necklas. It was silver with a music note hanging from it. I smiled. Music was something I loved, and she knew it. The shoes were just black flats. I slipped on the shoes, and the charm bracelet with music related items too. I opened the door and went back to her room. I finally looked in her mirror for the first time.
I looked awesome!
"You look amazing Madie! Why won't you let me make you all pretty more often!" Briony complained.
"Because, you know I don't like dresses. Remember, I'm doing this for you, not me." I smiled.
"Okay, now I get to do your hair and make up!" She sounded excited. "Wow, why haven't you been sleeping?! Those circles are terible!" She pushed me down into a seat and twirled me so I was facing a mirror. Briony found a concelear and began applying it around my eyes. When she was done, I looked in the mirror and saw that it was barley noticeable. She nodded with satisfaction and grabbed blush. She patted both of my cheeks, then found chap-stick. Once she was done, she found a comb and began to comb my hair. I waiting patiently, watching her with nothing to do. I thought about what was going on tonight.
I was auctually going to go on a double date, and my date is Darren Shan. I was shocked, really shocked. This was auctaually going to happen.
Stop thinking about it! You're going to get nervous and back out! I yelled inside my head.
After what seemed like hours, she was done. I looked at my hair, and she had blow-dried it, straightened it, and put in a simple blue headband.
"Okay, now let me get ready and we can go!" She sounded excited. I looked at the clock. It was 7:00! I stood up slowly and she got ready quickly. Quicker than ever. She threw me a black purse and I threw my phone in there. I remembed I had my wallet too and I put that in the purse too.
"Okay, lets go!" She led me out and we began to walk there. She only lived 2 minutes from the new restrant, and when we got there, Darren and Steve were there waiting and talking.
"Hey Briony" Steve stepped over to her and brought her inside. I smiled.
"Hey Madie, so you're comming here to have Briony beeing happy?" Darren asked smiling.
"Yeah, so let's go?" I asked.
"Sure." He opened the door for me and I stepped inside.
This was going to be fun.
