Again, this is SUPER short. The new character, Alisa, who was designed by Cockapoo, has finally been included! Hazzah!

Also, Keyvetprevet pointed out that in one chapter, my characters name is Kayla and in another it's Layla. The name was supposed to be Layla but since I typed the original first few chapters on my iPad, the autocorrect ruined it... Enjoy this cookie! (: :)

To Cockapoo, I don't usually write that long of chapters which is why I can, most of the time, finish one or two a day :) Sorry 'bout that! I will also attempt to update every day :) Here, have a cookie! (: :)

Also, to Jessie7517 and redheadgirl1997, I forgot your cookies! (: :) (: :) Enjoy!

Pushing myself up onto my elbows, I attempt to take in the view. The room I have awoken to is silent and has a strange smell like antiseptic mixed with something I cannot name. The bed I have been placed in is more of a cot then an actual bed.

The memories return to me and I almost jump. The monsters. Marcus. Where am I?

I attempt to get out of the bed but a cold hand pushes me back down. My eyes trail up the arm and I find myself staring into warm grey eyes. A hint of a smile finds itself onto the face of my captor.

"What have you done to Marcus? Where is he?" I ask worriedly, attempting to fight against the muscular arms that hold me down.

"The boy you were with? He's fine, just needs some patching up. You've been out for a while," the boy says to me, his voice deep and comforting.

I feel as if I am about to melt. My arms go slightly numb and I can feel myself beginning to black out again.

The boy asks me another question but it is lost in my unresponsive mind as the lights begin to fade.

...:.:...

Malcolm's P.O.V

The girl seems to fade away yet again, leaving my question unanswered. But this is of no matter to me. She needed to rest anyways.

I pull my hand swiftly through my bleached blonde hair, pushing it swiftly out of my face and out of my eyes.

Grinning slightly, I set off to the dining pavilion, hoping that someone else will take watch for me.

I run the whole way, happy to finally be free of the strange smells that fill the infirmary. The smile on my face seems to grow, although I have no idea why. I just feel happy for no good reason.

"What's with you today? You look like you've been attacked by a rainbow. What's with you?" Alisa, one of my best friends, asks, her caramel, wavy hair flowing behind her back in the wind.

"Nothing. Do I need a permit to be happy?" I ask, laughing slightly.

"Nah, just confused at why."

We walk to the dining pavilion together as she recounts the events of the attack in excruciating detail.

I feel a cold hand clamp on my shoulder and I spin around suddenly.

"You're so easy to scare," Nico Di Angelo chuckles, wrapping his arms around Alisa's waist.

"Either that or you're just creepy," I laugh in return.

He smirks at me before responding. "Let's eat, I'm starved."

"Wait," I say, putting out a hand to stop the couple. "I need someone to watch the new kid at the infirmary. We don't know how much longer until she wakes up. I need someone there for when she does or she's going to freak out."

Alisa sighs, kisses Nico's cheek quickly and runs off in the direction of the big house.

"Thanks for getting rid of her," Nico says sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

"It would have gotten out of hand anyways," I chuckle in response, smirking as his face shifts into a frown. "Let's eat."

Remember to review! :) Thanks guys!
