New Ways


HAYLEE

I wake to Damien pounding on my door and telling me to get out of bed. I hate waking up forcefully but when I look at my clock, I'm really pissed. He woke me up at 7 a.m. SEVEN IN THE FUCKING MORNING. He was going to die. The bitch was going to die. I groan in frustration and I hear a knock on my door. I see Zakarie. He smiles at me and Josh who'd been woken up with me.

"Good morning." He says, he gives me a blood bag.

"Thank you." I say. Sometimes I forget he isn't even a vampire.

"He's started waking us all up early, even Kyliegh, Ryliegh and myself. He said he wants us to start practicing being guards. Something about when training's done, we can guard at night and sleep during the day." He says. I nod. I suck the back dry. "You scare me sometimes."

I laugh get up.

"Good."

Damien is a bitch. He's the biggest bitch I've ever met, and I've met a lot of them. He'd posted our schedule on the wall in the kitchen and had given us each one to put on our doors. The times were fucked up.

He'd also posted another piece of paper by it and given us another piece. I read it.

That was it. I suppose this wasn't as hard to grasp as some things but I still don't like the times. I shivered. The cold February air had transferred from the sliding glass door to the cold black marble in the kitchen. The cool draft wasn't helping either. When you're barefoot, in a short shorts, and a frilly spaghetti strap- everything seems cold. I shifted my wait, uncomfortably.

"I'm skipping breakfast." I said, reading the clock. Damien shrugged. He didn't care. I taped the papers to my door on the inside of my room. I pulled Josh, who'd been desperately trying to sleep again, into my arms and held him. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

My whole body burned. It was just now 6:00 on a Monday. I'd never been so happy in my life. Hannah and the guys wasted no time following me out the door. We still had a 5 person kill limit and all so nothing really changed. We'd killed twenty homeless men. We'd reached our limit pretty quickly so we went straight back to the house. I'd gotten my last blood bag for the day and went to my room to shower. I skipped out on everything else. Josh was downstairs eating with the wolves and vampires who'd chosen to drink their blood bags with them.

I pulled out my little black diary and pen.

February 19, 2012

Dear Diary,

I'd forgotten to talk to Mason. All of the commotion from our new schedule side tracked me. Yes. That bitch made us a schedule. A fucking schedule. We had to wake up at 7:00 a.m and we didn't sleep until 9:00 p.m. Yeah, we had a few breaks besides lunch and stuff but still. Besides that, I got assigned my hunting group and schedule today. I'm with Hannah, Jamie and Jacob. We hunt Monday's, Wednesday's and Saturday's. We still have our five person kill limit and all. Whatever. I still don't like our schedules.

I'd learn to barely levitate an object today, though. That's a good thing, at least. The whole finding thing is coming along better than I'd thought it would. We'd also started channeling new abilities. Ever since we had, my minds been flashing to things- images of people and places I've never seen before. Sometimes, images of Hannah or my friends came up.

I don't like it. It's creepy. Today was boring, obviously, and I'm tired.

I waited a few moments until Josh came in. I read the entry to him and tucked him in. I turned out the light and fell asleep.


Review. I'll try to do more details of the courses of schedule in the next chapter but I'm sleepy. Night.
