"So how about we go again tonight?" Rory asked hopefully, I shrugged and nodded.
"Sure, it so relaxing up there and everything's quiet" I replied, he nodded and I spotted Ethan an' Benny looking very annoyed.
"What the heck happened to your hair?" I giggled.
"Our shower cut out right before we could rinse, the whole street lost water pressure" Ethan explained.
"You were both in the shower at the same time?" Rory asked, laughing.
"Different showers Rory...different!" Ethan exclaimed.
"Well actually I was in the middle of this deep conditioning treatment" Benny said, playing with a strand of his hair. We all stared at him with questioning looks and he sighed "People aren't just born with hair this thick and shiny alright?!" he exclaimed, I rolled my eyes.
"There's no one at this school who's got it worse than us" Ethan groaned, I smiled and shook my head.
"Don't be so sure, Erica's watching over the Freshmen today" I shrugged.
"Poor guys" Ethan said, I nodded.
"Last I saw she had them wearing diapers and bonnets"
"Yikes, anyway we should get to Home-Ec' class" he said, turning to Benny.
"Sure, you coming Bailey?" Benny asked, I shook my head.
"No way, last time I was in that class I nearly passed out from all the garlic around me. I'm just gonna go for a walk" I replied, they nodded before giving me a curious look.
"A walk or breakfast?" Ethan asked worriedly, I tilted my head and sighed.
"Guys I love you but I'm a full vampire now I can't just live off rats. Believe me I tried that the first week, just let me eat without feeling guilty about it okay? I didn't ask for this" I said sadly, they both nodded with guilty looks.
"Sorry Bailey, still trying to get used to it is all" Ethan replied, I nodded and turned to Benny.
"Anyone says something about your hair you tell me okay?" I asked, putting a hand on the side of his neck. He nodded and glanced down at the floor.
"Sure Bailey" I was stroking his neck with my thumb when I felt two small scars, I tensed and pulled my hand back.
"I'll see you later guys" I whispered before quickly walking down the hall.
- A While Later -
I walked into the school with a coffee mug full of blood. It was times like this I was glad I took a nursing course last summer with Ethan "I can't believe you would take something like that, I'm telling your grandmother" I heard Sarah's voice say.
"No please don't tell her" Benny begged, I turned the corner and saw those two along with Rory an' Ethan.
"Guys not now, we're trying to find a huge alligator" Ethan said. I tilted my head in confusion and swirled the blood around the cup knowing Rory would smell it, if not Sarah.
"Wait, what's that smell?" she asked, sniffing the air. She turned around and noticed me "Oh hey Bailey" I nodded and they all turned around.
"Sup guys, whatcha doin?" I asked.
"There's an alligator running through the sewer system. During the locker search Rory flushed two baby alligators and Benny flushed some jock potion so they've grown quiet big" Ethan explained, I nodded and took a sip of the blood.
"Bailey what is that?" Benny asked nervously, I shrugged.
"Just a little snack, something to keep me going" I replied, his eyes widened.
"Do I even want to know how you got it in there?" he asked, gesturing to the cup.
"I may have taken a nursing course and learnt how to take blood. Plus I stole my own tubes, vials and needles from the hospital a week after I became a full vamp" I replied, he shook his head.
"So you took blood from some random person?"
"Benny this is how I always do it" I admitted, he had a confused look but a loud roar from down the hall stopped him from saying anything. We slowly walked towards the noise and turned the corner to see an alligator with some weird green glow coming from it's mouth.
"Great we've got it cornered" Ethan said, Rory sped off somewhere and the alligator turned to face us "Okay maybe we haven't got it cornered" Rory suddenly appeared behind the alligator holding a large blanket. He threw it over the alligator before straddling it's back and holding it down "What is he doing?!" Ethan exclaimed.
"Let him do it, or else we'll have to do it" Benny said.
"I saw this on the crocodile hunter, help me reel this thing" Rory said in an Australian accent, I sighed and walked towards him.
After a lot of struggling we managed to get the alligator downstairs into the basement and locked in the storage closet "Guys this is the gator that attacked Kate, how did it get through those pipes?" Sarah asked.
"Well grown mice can flatten themselves down to half an inch to get through doorways. It must have evolved" Ethan shrugged.
"You evolved? Aw, daddy's so proud" Rory said hugging the closet, I giggled and rolled my eyes.
- At Ethan's House -
"A scaly creature was spotted lurking outside a Hunter Hills home two nights ago, police warn..." We all looked away from the TV when Ethan's front door opened and Erica walked in, soaking wet with a torn sleeve.
"Erica? What happened to you?" Ethan asked.
"You guys are the ones with your finger on all that's weird around here, you tell me. I was driving the Freshmen through the car wash in the back of my dad's pickup..." Sarah cut her off.
"You drove them through a car wash?"
"Well after she made them all roll around in manure someone had to hose them off" Ethan said.
"Right? And then something huge and scaly jumped out of the pipes and attacked me!" Erica exclaimed.
"Hey is this a dig on that Sheila Batner? Cuz she's a really nice girl who happens to have a minor skin condition" Benny said.
"No it was some kind of mutant alligator thing and it came our biting. Now I know how my food feels and I don't like it!" Erica exclaimed angrily.
"Are the girls okay?" I asked.
"They're fine, my new leather jacket is trashed though" she replied.
"Hey guys, looks like they found Thor's buddy" Ethan said, motioning to the TV. Rory had decided to name one of his alligators Thor for some reason.
"This just in, the 250 pound gator was captured in the local pool after a close encounter with a mother and her toddler, the rampageous reptile was heavily sedated and sent to a local zoo for testing. Local officials say all city pools are now considered safe and gator free" The TV guy announced.
"Well that's both my little guys, it's all over!" Rory exclaimed happily.
"That's not the one that attacked me the one I saw was bigger than that" Erica explained.
"That means Thor didn't have a buddy, he had a special lady. They're breeding and if Erica's right them babies ain't pretty" Benny said grimly.
"Yes, I'm a matchmaker!" Rory exclaimed.
"We're talking about an entirely different species, one capable of incredible strength and of growing to who knows what size the possibility's are endless" Ethan said in thought.
"And thanks to the dork squad they're loose in our city's sewer system" Sarah snapped. I heard a strange buzzing sound come through the ceiling and I realised it was my phone.
"Be right back" I said before speeding upstairs. I opened the text and smiled.
- Hey Bailey it's Tad, having a huge pool party later at my house. Hope you can come gorgeous x - Tad had been flirting with me a lot since I got back to school, but I never went out with him. Sure I flirted back but I would never cheat on Benny, I could never hurt him again. I thought about it for a moment before shrugging and texting him back.
- Sure I'll be there, see yah later - I sent the message and sped home to change my clothes and put my bikini on before speeding back to Ethan's house. Sometimes being a vampire was awesome "I'm heading out guys" I announced.
"Wait Bailey, where are you going?" Ethan asked, I rolled my eyes.
"Just a party Tad invited me to, at least this time I can swim in the pool with him knowing" I said, smiling and winking at Rory.
"Are we missing something?" Benny asked, glancing between me and Rory.
"Yeah we went swimming last night in one of the Hunter Hills mansion pools, it was awesome" he explained, Benny nodded and clicked his tongue.
"We didn't plan it we were just flying around and then I thought it'd be a good idea, is that okay Benny?" I asked, nervously biting my lip. He looked up at me and shrugged.
"It's fine Bailey, I can't control your life right?" he chuckled, though it was obviously forced. It was awkwardly silent for a moment before Ethan broke it.
"Okay Bailey just be careful, there is a mutant alligator on the loose" he reminded, I nodded and smiled.
"I'm a vampire E, it takes a lot to take me down. Lates" I waved before exiting the house.
