Chapter 2 : Staying away.

Tabby raised her eyebrow upon hearing what Celis had just said. Seriously, did she just say 'vampire'?

"Um, hello Celis? Could you please tell me what's going on?" She asked.

"Jojo was acting really strange! He had fangs and red eyes! He almost bit me in the observatory!"

"Wow. You're sure?"

"Pretty sure! I just jumped off the balcony and…"

"Wait a minute, you… what?"

"Er… I jumped down to the river. Don't worry, I'm still alive. The thing is, I need to stay away from Jojo now! And you too must stay away from him!"

"Okay, I'll take the advice. Listen, Celis. It's already late. We'll talk about this tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay, take care Tabs."

"You too, big girl." Tabby hung up the phone and went back to sleep. The thought of Jojo becoming a vampire filled her head. "Oh Who. Was Celis for real?"

The next morning…

Celis woke up on Jojo's and her room. They always slept together since Jojo and his cousins along with their Reaver friends rescued her from the fate of becoming her creator's slave. Of course they keep the far distance, since it would be awkward, at least for the Jojo's parents and sisters if they slept in the same bed. They didn't know who Celis really was, although they treated her as a part of their family (unknown to them, she really was a part of their family.).

Celis tried to remember what had happened last night as she passed Hall of the Greats. Celis' aunts, or in other words, Jojo's sister, were running across the hall, although the older ones were just walked calmly.

Upon arriving on the dining room, the first thing Celis saw was Jojo, who wasn't eating anything. Celis was about to ask why, until she saw Jojo's eyes, which was red, just like last night. The memories came back extremely fast, like a starship going on maximum warp. Celis was filled with horror. Boy, did she really want to scream as loud as she could, but knowing where she was and how many people next to her, she held the urge of opening her mouth and released a high-pitched glass-breaking ear-bleeding scream of total terror.

So she chose not to say anything at all, or "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" would be the first thing she would say. She sat on her chair and ate her breakfast with an extremely fast speed. She really wanted to leave the room very quick.

As she finished her fastbreak, er… I mean breakfast, she stormed her room. She packed everything up as fast as she ate her breakfast. As she finished she dashed to the door…

Only to have it blocked by, you guessed it, Jojo.

"Where are you're going?" he asked.

"To a place called 'Whoville High'." she answered sarcastically. Now just what was he trying to do?

"Well, don't you want to wait for me?"

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry."

"No, you're not." He stared at her eyes. As Celis' eyes made contact with Jojo, Celis felt a sudden strange feeling. She wanted to go, but it was as if her every single nervous system was rejecting every order she gave to them. She soon felt all hazy. Her mind became emptier and emptier. "You can wait for me, right? I won't be long."

"Yes… I…." Celis began to spoke, her eyes half-closed. But then something snapped her out of the trance. It was Jojo's mother, Sally.

"Sweatheart, what are you doing?" she asked.

Jojo turned to his mother and did the same thing he did to Celis, who had regained her senses. She tiptoed outside, then as she closed the door slowly, she dashed away like there was no tomorrow.

Tabby was waiting for Celis on the school yard. She was unusually a bit late. "Where are you, Celis?"

Her question was soon answered when the girl in question rushed forward, right onto her…

CRASH!

…and ran her over.

Both girls were lying on the dirt, "Celis! Get off me!" Tabby exclaimed, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm trying to escape from Jojo!" Celis replied panickingly.

"Well, that's a bit strange…"

"What do you mean it's strange! He was trying to keep me inside, so he could get what he wanted! To my luck, his mother came in, and…!"

"No, no. I mean. It's strange because the guy you're trying to avoid is right there." Tabby pointed to the Whoville High entrance, where Jojo was standing.

"Holy… shit…." Celis cursed. "How the hell could he outran me? I left him in back in home!"

"If he really is a vampire, then outrunning him will be next to impossible, Celis. Haven't you watched some of movies about them?"

"Naw, I'm busy reading news."

"To see if Derrick got apprehended at last?"

"Yup. Let's go. Oh, and Tabby, don't look directly on Jojo's eyes."

"No need the warning. Already know that." Tabby and Celis went into the building together, trying to avoid meeting Jojo. To their delight, he didn't catch up with them.

"Double shit, I got same classes as Jojo." Celis said as they entered the building.

"Well, good luck. You're going to need it." Tabby replied and tapped Celis' shoulder

"Bloody right I do."

A/N : Okay, we're going to skip the school scene in the next chapter. I have different school system here. So, to avoid major mistakes, I need to skip the scenes.
