Chapter Six: Inevitable Bonds

It was just like any normal day, the sun would be shinning and she would be scowering around to find her sunblock, only to find it half shriveled up because of her brothers taking huge globs of it to protect themselves. She took a little and began her way towards the school, not before forgetting her lunch.

The walk down the hill was pretty lonely, Tammy had decided to start picking up Xavier and not taking her with them, Val was postitive they would be making out in the parking lot before classes, maybe thats why Xavier had been so happy lately and even Tammy, though she was happy for her she didn't apprecrite that she had been pretty much abandoned by her.

Val shook a blond strand from her face and contunied down when she saw the High School, first class Human Biology at least Jamie was in her class, with the thought of that she smiled brightly and found herself begining to run to school.

However, she couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching her, watching her closely.

Val stopped, gripped her backpack and turned towards the wooded area, well the last of it and peered closely. She used her Witch Vision and found a hologram of the girl she saw with Jamie that night at The Crypt, however something was different about her. As Val peered closer to the hologram she notcied the girl had fangs. Val jumped back as the vision ended and turned to walk back to school.

She had a vampire following her? An Elysian Vampire too not doubt about that, she could smell the musty carpets and leather upholestry, It became clear to Val, someone was after her. She best be on guard.

Val reached the school and found the music room, she used to swoon and hide here when she was younger as Jamie would play cords on his guitar, and she wasn't the only one who stopped by either. A whole crowd of girls with blushes stood by the music rooms doors and watched as Jamie played a more cheerful tune than what he used to. Val blushed and bit her lip as she entered dispite the girls trying to pull her back.

" Hey Jamie" Val waved cheerful as she swung her backpack off her shoulders and onto the floor. She took a seat beside him and watched as he smiled brightly and squeezed her shoulder. She giggled and saw the girls watched in awe at her being touched by the Almighty Jamie Nixson. He leaned down and gave her a kiss on the lips.

" I missed you, you know that? I spent my whole weekend night thinking about you and your beautious eyes" Val grew hotter under the collar at every word. She chuckled nervousily and scratched her head.

" Me too, umm Jamie can I ask you something?" Val recalled the raven hair girl at The Crypt and how she was in the woods watching her. She cleared her throat and hoped this wouldn't hurt him in anyways.

" So about this Lillith girl, what was she like?" Jamie's brow tightened a little bit before he bit his lips and what appeared to be crying, he sighed loudly and placed his guitar in it's case before turning towards Val.

" Just some girl who said she loved everything I did...It was a lie" Jamie's eyes looked full of hurt as he looked up at Val. Her heart melted as she knew she hurt him, however if she was a vampire agent they'd both need protection and answers.

" Why?"

" Oh well I was just curious, I figured she was more your type is all" Val replied and watched as Jamie pulled her into a tight hug and held her, his lips pursed against her ears as he whispered.

" No...your the one I want, the one that's beautiful, the one that never will lie to me"

Val begin to shrink, I'm lying about Lillith to get information from you...Val smiled and watched as they gave one final kiss before they walked together to Human Bio.

Mr. Egert was always eager as usual to get onto teaching. Todays lesson was about the Brain and it's major functions. Val took her notes down and watched as the clock ticked by, before she knew it, it had became break and then second period- Health.

Health was the same smut that Val's parents had preached her about eversince she was in the womb. Not to smoke, Not to do drugs, Not to have sex until she was good and ready, as she walked in she was surprised to see that no teacher was present. She took her seat and pulled out human diagrams of organs, she blushed and began thoughts that she hoped her father wouldn't see. She blushed as she closed her book and pushed it away. Suddenly a teacher she hadn't expected to see had walked in.

" Good morning students, I'm Mr. Otis you can call me by my first or last name since it the same, Now you guys are Health 10 section 2? Ok..we'll lets get started" Val smiled to herself as she copied down his notes and saw how uncomfortable Otis was talking about...er...things. The bell rang and the class began to walk out.

Val walked over to Otis and smiled.

" Hey Uncle Otis, ummm I have a question"

Otis smiled and listened to Val explain about the vampire she saw scouting the woods.

" I see, I'll tell Vlad in the meantime you should be careful, after all you are a strong vampire" Otis reminded her. She nodded.

" Thanks Otis see ya around" Val walked down towards the cafeteria where she saw Tammy sitting with Xavier at their table, Val causally joined them. She took out her bloodstew and ate it and turned to face them.

" Hey guys whats up?"

Xavier looked and smiled, Tammy was bundled under his arm and smiling.

" Nothing sis you?"

" Classes 'bout it" Val responded as something seemed off about the both of them.

Xavier stood up and looked at Tammy.

" Are we going to?..." He seemed to motion with his eyes to leave.

" McDonalds? Defiantly" Tammy's voice seemed jumpy as she nearly sprung up and followed Xavier out.

Val looked confused but rolled her eyes and ate in peace. Suddenly a hand squeezed her shoulder and she smiled grateful that she wasn't alone.

" Jamie hey whats up?" Val smiled as Jamie took a seat beside her, His hair was sweeped again and his chocolate brown eyes looked at her and smiled.

" Nothing much just got out of Music...next class is Health" Val smiled as she thought of Otis. Jamie looked worried for a minute.

" You seem kinda down wanna talk about it?"

" Well...It's just my friend Tammy is going out with my brother Xavier, and they don't really talk to me anymore they just leave" Jamie placed a hand on Val's back and rubbed it.

" It'll be fine, there in love and usually when your in love theres only one person you wanna be with" She blushed, same goes for her and him.

" Ya, I guess your right..But I have a feeling..." Val's eyes narrowed as she looked out at the parking lot and saw Tammy's car was gone.

" Tell ya what, how about you and me go to the movies tonight? I'll let you pick what you want, pay for tickets and food k?" Val smiled she hadn't been to the movies since she was 8 and her Mom took her for her birthday. Val nodded and watched as Jamie kissed her again. She blushed as she saw Jamie's fangroup scowl at the whole thing, however inside she was laughing her ass off.

Afterschool was different, Tammy actually let Val ride with her home, she sat in the back as Xavier and Tammy took front. Val secretly wondered why but when they dropped at home, Tammy stopped her by lightly tapping her shoulder.

" Umm Val, I wanna talk with you" They both waited til Xavier was out of the car and in the house.

Tammy frowned and bit her lip.

" Forgive me Val..."

" Wha? For what?" Val asked confused.

" For not speaking to you and for well..." She blushed and then began.

" The reason why I haven't been driving you to school or hanging at lunch's is...well...me and your brother..."

Val's eyes widened and she almost puked at it, her brother and Tammy...doing...it?

" why?" Val got sick of thinking she was the one to sit in the backseat.

" Well my father won't let him in the house, and either would your mom so we figured the only time we'd get privacy was...in the car"

" My God Tammy...your gutsy I mean arn't you worried about getting caught?" Val asked. Tammy nodded.

" Well I usually take the car and park it by the dumpster and then we both get in the backseat and..." Tammy stopped when she saw Val start to cover her ears. Tammy blushed,

" I'm sorry"

Val looked up and placed a reassurring hand on Tammy's.

" It's ok, I'm not mad just surprised"

Tammy smiled and wiped some tears from her eyes.

" Thanks Val"

Val smiled and nodded and walked out and into the house.

Her mom was making spaghetti and her brothers were fighting over the Xbox as usual. She smiled as she went upstairs and began to pick clothes for the date, when once again she had the feeling of someone watching her.

She turned around to see Lillith standing outside of her window.

" Just wait Sugar, what's yours is mine..."
