When I entered my house I decided to try and sneak past my mom, who was sat on the couch watching TV. I crept past her and managed to get my foot on the first step my mom spoke up "Where have you been Bubeh? You now I don't like it when you don't tell me where you're going!" Damnit! I swear the woman has eyes all over her head not just at the back of it. What do I do now? I can't just blurt out that I fainted because I was marked as a vampire fledgling! Knowing my mom she would have me burned at the stake.

I sigh "Mom it's kind of a long story and I really don't want to hurt you but..." I take a deep breath "...I'm leaving."

The minute that sentence leaves my lips she responds with her infamous "WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?" followed by "You are staying under this roof until you leave high school young man!"

"That's the thing. The long and short of it is that I have to leave high school and town and this house."

"What's gotten into you Kyle? You are not setting foot outside this house! Do you hear me?" I can tell that if I turned around now she would have a red face and there would be steam rising from her ears.

"I can't, if I don't leave now then i'll-" a loud cough broke my sentence.

"Kyle your cough's getting worse, I'll go see if I have anything and then we can talk about-"

"NOTHING IN YOUR LITTLE MEDICINE CABINET CAN SAVE ME!" Whoa where did that come from? I toned it down a little "I'm going to die if you don't let me leave this house right now."

"Kyle I…" she finally snaps "KYLE WOULD YOU LOOK AT ME WHEN I SPEAK TO YOU?" I tensed but stayed exactly where I am "TURN THE FUCK AROUND!" I gasped, my mom never swears so she means business. I turned around slowly and my mom's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when they found my new markings. "WIPE THAT THING OFF RIGHT NOW" She barked.

I felt rage bubbling up inside me once more and I suddenly found myself denfending my new religion "IT'S NOT GOING TO 'WIPE OFF' MOM YOU IGNORANT BITCH!" I could almost see the steam rising from her ears but I didn't stop "This is me now and you know what? I'm glad I'm moving away because it means I can escape from this prison and you." I didn't bother to get my things, I just had to get the heck outta there, this place just wasn't me anymore.

I stormed past my mom and out of the door, slamming it behind me and striding toward the car, but it was empty.

"Stan?" I called looking around for the missing fledgling. "STAN?"

"UP HERE!" I heared his voice and spun around to see him hanging out of my bedroom window with a wide grin on his face and a suitcase in his outstretched hand.

"What are you doing in my room dude?" I questioned.

"I heared you fighting with your mom so I decided to go get your stuff for you" He shrugged, hanging out of my second story window as casually as if he was lounging around on a couch. "I knew that you wouldn't want to stay in there and we really need to leave because you're pretty sick. Catch!" He dropped the suitcase and before I could think my body reacted by jumping forwards and catching the suitcase. Stan jumped out of the window and landed gracefully in front of me.

"C'mon let's just go" he said, smiling, opening the car door and getting in the driver's seat.

"Ok" I grinned getting in the passengers side and flinging the suitcase onto the backseat. 'This is the start of my new life' I thought to myself happily as my house dissappeared in the rear veiw mirror.
