It will get better I promise! I don't own anything at all! Enjoy!

New friend?

-Darren's POV-
I don't remember what happened after everything went black, next thing I knew I was locked up in my cage again. 'This is seriously starting to get old...' I thought to myself as I paced around the 'enlarged cage' once again. "Broken stone..." I mumbled leaning with my back against the bars, I slid down to take a seat and began to ponder, what did Mr. Tiny mean by that..? How could I find it? Why would it weaken us if I didn't find it? What did Harry have to do with this? There were so many unanswered questions. Harry... He was never going to trust me was he...?

"First things first, I need someone on the inside to help me get out and get me information..." I said out loud thinking, after a while of getting no where I leaned my head against the bars and sighed.

"I miss everyone.. Creepy Crepsley... Vancha... Harkat.. And everyone at the cirque." I muttered out loud closing my eyes for a split second, I then jumped to my feet. "What if they find me? I'll be the laughing stalk of Vampire Mountain! I can see it now! Vampire Prince Darren Shan was captured and put behind bars!" I freaked out a bit trying to think of a plan to get out.

"I thought I heard someone... it was just you Mr. Vampire..." I heard someone say I turned only to see one of the students!

She must have been in the last class since she looked familiar. "Er...Hi?" I said rubbing the back of my head, she was no doubt very pretty but many were at this school.

"...Hi" She said back with a smile, she took a step towards my cage and that's when I remembered where I've seen her, she was the nut!

Everything got quiet as she continued towards me, well time to pull the mean guy act. "Yum.. a Snack." I muttered loud enough for her to hear with a threatening and hungry look in my eye, I kind of felt bad actually, she was just a little girl. I gave a snarl and stared her down, then something I never thought would happen, happened! She laughed! "What's so funny!" I asked dropping the mask giving her a curious and childish look, she calmed herself down after minutes and walked closer till she was right in front of my cage. "Luna Lovegood. Pleasure to meet you" she said greeting me.

"...I'm Darr-" I stopped myself and then gave a little cough trying to cover up my mistake, "Drake." I replied nodding back, she gave me a skeptical look. "..." If it's a stare down she wants, I'll take her on... What seemed like forever was in actuality five minutes before I had enough and broke down, 'So much for pride..' I thought.

"Darren.. Darren Shan.. Now Luna, what's so funny?" I said looking up at her with a questionable gaze. "Darren.. I like that Better then 'Drake'..You know the Nargles seem to like you, you have a bunch flying around your head.." She said with a all knowing look, something told me she wasn't lying, I shot a goofy grin at her and rubbed the back of my head again 'Yea... She's Crazy.. but it's sort of nice..' I thought continuing to smile then looked around not seeing anything "Er... Nargles.. Right... you never answered me... what's so ... funny?" I asked then looked back at her but she was gone, in reaching place was an apple and slice of bread, "Strange girl" I muttered and reached out grabbing the food she had left. "Real strange.." I said once more with a small smile playing on my lips as I took a bit out of the apple, the first real food I've had in a good long while. "I wonder... if she'll come back later.." I leaned against the bars and sat down savoring the taste of real food and the thought at maybe having a new friend.

-Crepsley POV-

"Darren!" I called, I was worried for his safety what if something happened to him? It would be my fault for letting him go on his own. I had met up with Harkat and Vancha earlier neither had seen him on their way to the meeting point. "DARREN!" called again running through the woods around me.

"Larten! Look at who we found!" Shouted Vancha, I halted and turned sharply "Darren!" I asked looking at him, He just frowned and shook his head and then looked down. "Then who could you possibly have found that I would care about!" I hissed at him, he just held up his hands in a defending kind of way.

"Calm down Larten! We're all trying, Just look and stop being a puss!" The Wild Vampire Prince said pointing down, I followed his finger to what looked like the wolf pup that Darren had befriended! What was its bloody name.. Rally? Rully? No... Rudi! That's it! "Rudi! Darren remember him!" Rudi seemed to roll his eyes and huff sharply, I seemed to take it as a 'no-duh'.

"Rudi, We need your help... Darren's missing do you think you could find him?" I tried to ask hoping he understood, Vancha just gave me a crazy look. Rudi gave me a look that seemed to say, I'm not a hound. I sighed and sat down, It seemed useless, maybe I wasn't meant to find Darren again.

Then Suddenly, The other Wolf that had followed me and Darren showed up, Stark? No.. Streak! I watched as the two conversed, Rudi and Streak and then look at me as to say they'd help find Darren, then they both took off catching a whiff of something they must have thought was Darren.

"Your insane...Talking to wolfs?" Vancha said with a huge taunting smile. "It's worth a shot" I growled out walking ahead of him. "I could tell you were Darren Shan is..." I laughing voice said from behind us. Me and Vancha spun around to be met with the face of Destiny, or as he is commonly known as, Desmond Tiny.

We didn't speak, we kept our distance and in stance just incase. "He's with the wizards, they captured him... That's why you haven't seen him around here." I felt as someone hit me with a truck, "Wizards..? W-where can we find them." Desmond grinned and pointed at his watch, "Hmm... Where indeed..." he laughed and pointed "England, there is a forest on the outskirts that everyone stays away from, go through there and in a few days you will be where Darren is." He said as he walked away. "England! Is that possible!" I asked, how could he have gotten there that fast! Desmond ignored me and disappeared into nothing.

"I-I think we should T-trust him, H-he doesn't lie... J-just likes to m-mess with p-people lives..." said the little person as he walked out from behind a tree. I sighed and nodded in agreement.

"Race ya? If we don't hurry the wolfs might beat us!" Said Vancha taking off into a flint, I rolled my eyes and grabbed the little person and went after Vancha. 'Don't worry Darren were coming..'

-Unknown POV-
"Everything's coming together...perfectly.." Sharp teeth poked out of the unknown person's mouth as they smiled at the scene playing out in front of them. It was just a matter of time, and everything would go as planed...
