AN: Looks like it be my turn to start writing

Bonnie POV:

I smiled as I walked out of the class with Lucifer. Right before Spanish had ended, he kindly asked me where my next class was. Turns out, we had the same one. So, what did he do? He offered to show me the way there. So nice….

"So, what exactly brings you the Mystic Waters?" Lucifer asked once we walked out of the class.

"Oh, you know, the great art opportunity. Can't afford to miss out on something like that!" I laughed before asking, "What about you? No offense, but you don't seem like the…artsy type."

"Nah. I'm not. Never got into that stuff. All my family is though. Mom is a landscape artist- which is mainly why we moved out here in Florence-, Dad loves to mess with photos, and my big bro has an entire room dedicated to sketching and doodling and stuff. I'm here to get an even higher education than I already have. I may've graduated college back when I was thirteen, but this school is so far advanced than even the highest universities. It's a one in a million chance to get this good of an education," Lucifer said while smiling.

"That's cool. I didn't know all that about this school! But, it is founded by vampires after all. I guess you can't expect anything less. Which reminds me, how do you get along with all of them? It can't be easy dealing with those blood-suckers," I said, shivering at the last word.

"Actually, it's not as hard as you may think. All you need to do is stay out of their way if their one of those people who like to pick on people- those kinds of vamps don't care who they hurt, they only care about being on top- and the others are fine to make friends with. It's really just like a high-school. You have jocks, the popular crowd, the nerds -which would more than likely be us-, the skaters, the druggies, and so on. The only difference about this school is the fact that it's home to incredibly fast, strong, immortal, and beautiful vampires."

Wow. I was left absolutely speechless. Who knew that someone could think so much of those things!! It was un-heard of to me. Everyone at my old school knew of vampires. It was like segregation all over again. There were bathrooms for humans only and some for vampires only, separate cafeterias for vampires and humans, and even the classrooms and sports teams were separated. And, guess who got the better equipment? If you guessed vamps, you were right.

They had everything you could think of. Hell, the benches in their cafeteria were cushioned!! And, the gymnasium was completely decorated with drapes and silk and whatnot. But, you knew that the vampires probably threatened the principal into getting all that stuff for them. After all, he was human and much weaker than them.

The rest of our walk was silent, for which I was glad. My thoughts of vampires were soon forgotten once a creepy feeling took over me. It was as if someone was watching me. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up and my body became tense. I glanced behind my, next to me, out the window; almost every direction you can imagine. I found nothing, however this feeling wouldn't go away. What was causing this??

Damon POV

Crap. She can sense me. I should've guessed that this would happen. A human may not be able to see a vampire when their hiding, but they can sure as hell sense them. It's like their instincts are telling them that a predator is near. It's the only advantage a mortal has over one of us.

As soon as she started looking around, I jumped even further into the trees I was hiding, still keeping her in sight. She more than certainly wouldn't be able to see me from back here. But to my surprise, she didn't stop looking. After a few seconds, Lucifer started to tense up, as well, and joined in looking behind his back. I guess I wasn't as hidden as I had originally thought…or another vampire was watching over them…

I got my answer in a few seconds. My brother- my nosy little brother- was sitting on the tree branch directly across from where I was. He didn't seem to notice me, for he was still casting his gaze onto the two humans waking in the halls. I was be his side in minutes.

"What are you doing here?" I all but growled out. Stefan snapped out of his ravine once he heard me speak.

"Father asked me to join you on this…mission of yours," was his simple answer.

"Why?'

"Because, you tend to…stray away from all of your assignments to go find some human girls to seduce. Father wanted to make sure that it didn't happen this time. He really cares for this human girl and her well being."

"It's none of your concern what I do on my missions here or other wise. I've done things that needed to be done in order for them to become completed successfully. But, it won't happen when it concerns Bonnie McCullough and her safety. It is my number one priority."

"I knew it. You are in love with this mortal girl! That being said, I'll leave you be. It's obvious you wouldn't dare let any harm come to your mate. Have fun as a body guard," Stefan called out as he jumped off of the branch and disappeared into the maze of trees.

I smiled. Body guard. I rather liked the sound of that.

Lucifer POV

I desperately tried to hide my ever-growing smirk. It was difficult, especially after hearing the vampires' conversation outside. Sometimes I wish I didn't have to pretend to be a weak human, but I have to. Especially at times like this, when I could easily sense our stalkers outside the window. But, alas, I had to It was the only way to make sure no one caught on to who I really was.

As soon as I felt the two vampire brothers leave, I wrapped my arm around Bonnie's shoulders and pushed her forward to the next classroom.

"Did you feel that, too?" the small girl next to me asked. I knew immediately that she was referring to the fact that the vampires outside.

"Yeah, that was really weird," I responded, making sure my voice held a questioning tone. Of course, I knew exactly was lurking around.

"Ugh!!" she shivered," I wonder what the frig caused that."

"I'm not sure. There are a bunch of vampires in this school. Anyone of them could've made your instincts gone wild," I replied casually.

She must've believed me because she just nodded her head and just kept walking. Although, she never did shrug out of my grasp. At times like these, I wish I was a blood sucker. I could easily read her thoughts and tell just what was going on in that red-head of hers.
