Madie: Hi :D

----

'Fuuuu...dge!' I thought. Everyone spun around to see what the person who came in was, and during that, I ducked down and crawled away. I saw that my crazy teacher was with the police.

'BEAVER DAM! HE SAW THE ADRESS ON THE FLYER!' I yelled in my head. I crawled faster but still silent. I was looking at the ground, but then when I look up, I was in a whole different part of the place. I stood up and looked around again.

"...Great." I whispered. I began to walk back, but then realized I'd be expelled if my teacher saw me.

"Freak shows," he had said, 'were banned. Anyone who goes could get put in jail."

I turned again and went down a hallway. There was a light at the end and I began to run. There were alot of the freaks there, but I just acted like I was souposed to be there. I ran through them, careful not to hit anyone, and found a few doors. I read the names. There was one at the end of the hall, I didn't read the name, and slipped in. I shut the door and turned around. I slid down the door and sat down.

"I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm gonna be dead!" I mumbled over and over again. I stood up again and began to pace. After a minute, I heard someone try to open the door. My eyes were wide and I ran to a door. I opened and shut it behind me. I looked inbetween the crazk of the wall and door, and saw Briony come in.

'Briony?!' I thought. 'I didn't tell her anything about this!' I waited and saw her wait and stare at the door. I just watched her.

After a minute, someone else came in. He had a crop of orange hair on the top of his head, a scar down the left side of his face, and was wearing all red. Appreantly bulls don't like him. I was just watching, and then someone else came in.

Darren.

I covered my mouth and just stared. Darren? Why is he here? But...I didn't tell anyone about this! They couldn't've heard about this...oh my gosh. He has some explaining to do! I looked around to see if there was any way out, what so ever without going out the front. I felt behind me, and there was nothing. I sighed. I went back to listening.

"I know what you are. I also know what you are Darren! And you didn't tell us. We are your best friends!" Briony almost yelled.

'What is he?' I thought and wondered. 'But maybe she's just going crazy...' There was always that option.

Darren just stayed quiet.

"Why are you here?" The man asked.

"I want to become what you are." Briony was dead serious.

'WHAT THE HE(( ARE THEY!!!!' I yelled in my head. This was getting so annoying.

''What about Madie? You can't leave her with her adopting family! You can't just ditch her!" Darren stepped forward.

''She never needed me, that's just how life is."

"Okay, I will test your blood." The man gave in. I almost choaked on nothing. Now I need to know that they are. I put my hand on the handel to get out, but I stopped. What if they attacked me or something. Appreantly they're dangerous if blood was involved. I slowly lifted my hand off of it, so it wouldn't make a noise. I barley breathed, I was freaked out. How would I be able to leave? I'm impatient and wouldn't be able to wait them out. I looked through the crack again, and saw the man pushing Briony back and coughing. Darren looked at the door and saw my eye. His eyes were wide and I stumbled back. I hit the wall with a thud and spun around. There was another door knob and I fumbled with it.

'C'mon open open open!' I was chanting in my head. (A/N: By the way, you guys do know I was excited writing this...that's how stupid I am :D) I was shaking my head until it finally opened. I slipped through the door and shut it behind me. I ran down the pitch black hall, not knowing where I was going. I didn't stop running, until I came to a wall. I felt around the wall and found nothing. 'It's time to turn and face my fears!' I thought. I spun around and heard foot steps and saw a light.

"Madie? Where are you?" I heard Darren call. I was silent until he came running down the hall. "Madie, what are you doing here?"

"I don't know, I was running from my evil teacher and I came into that room and I went into the closet. Now I'm here." I explained. I was shaking.

"You need to leave." Darren sad fast.

My hands were balls at my sides. I sighed. "What are you?" I asked.

"I'm Darren." He said.

"You're much more. Who was that man? And what was Briony talking about?" I questioned him.

"...I'm a vampire. He was Mr. Crepsley, my mentor, and Briony wanted to become a vampire." He explained. I wasn't shocked.

Suddenly, memories came into my head.

"How's Evra?" I asked.

"Oh Evra's pr--" He realized what I said. "You remember?"

"As of now." I looked at him.

"Well then we can go see Mr. Crepsley and see that we can do." He grabbed my hand and we ran back. Once we were there, Darren went through both the doors. "She remembers." He said to Mr. Crepsley.

"How is that possible?" Mr. Crepsley asked, confused.

I'd love to know that, I thought.

"She has to go back home, she can't stay." Darren said, sounding partly sad.

"I know, she must not stay." Mr. Crepsley looked over at me. "YOu will have to go back to your house and just forget"

"...Okay. Fine..." I looked down and began to walk out.

"Wait a minute!" Darren walked after me. "Do you rememeber your dad?"

I racked my brain. "Not at all." He just nodded.

"I'll see you later?" I asked him.

"The Cirque is moving tonight..." He looked down.

I didn't even nod. I just opened the door and walked out. I slammed it, but not to hard. I walked out, trying to find the exit. I finally settled for the back door. I felt depressed. Darren was my friend, sure he left before, but now I remember. I realized that I didn't bring my bike, and I was stuck walking home. I pushed everything else out of my mind and just began to walk. And walk...and walk.

***

I finally got home. Finally. I was walking for about an hour, and I slid into my bedroom window. I looked over where my sisters sleep and saw that they weren't there. (A/N: I spent about 4 minutes trying to figure out to spell weren't. I need to go back school (im on Spring Break)) I just sat on my bed. He's leaving...although why do I care? He's leaving. Okay. I sighed and went out the window again. I can't stay here, I'm gonna to talk to Briony.

This isn't going to end well....
