3 Weeks Later, England...

I stared at the High School occasionally glancing at passing students that I really wanted to drink "I hate you for this" I muttered knowing Adam heard me "I know. I'm starting to hate myself" he replied also staring at the school "Remind me why were doing this again" I sighed crossing my arms

"Because we need to get it over with. We graduate school and then move on, get some qualifications so we can get a job" he explained, I rolled my eyes "By the end of the week I'm going to wanna stake myself" I said a little annoyed with the fact I had to go back to school "Just think of it as training, if we can be around these people then it'll help control our bloodlust" he said,

I groaned knowing he was right "Fine. But I still hate you" I said turning my head to face him "I know, but it's only two years and then were gone" he reasured, I shrugged "I guess, you ready?" I asked ignoring the itching in my throat, I hadn't killed anyone in 3 weeks and it was very difficult, but I had Adam keeping me in control and he had me keeping him in control...but it was mostly me losing it,

he was somehow a lot calmer with controlling his thirst but he had never killed someone before from drinking them, he had only drank from his dad but I knew how it felt to drink someone dry, it was the most addicting feeling in the world "You ready?" he asked licking his lips for a moment, I nodded slowly "I think so" I replied unsurely "Let's go" he said being the first to walk forward, as soon as he did I followed.

We walked into the main hallway and he paused, I looked around the place and noticed a bunch of different kids, some were playing instruments while others danced to rap music, and the younger kids were just running around chasing each other "This is where we part ways" he sighed,

we had decided to go solo in the school to gain single reputations and he wanted to test my control...I thought it would end badly "Did I mention that I hate you for this?" I asked, he nodded "About 3 times now. Just don't worry and keep calm, that always works with me" he said taking my left hand in his right "You're 46 and I'm 17. You have a lot more control than' I do" I reminded him

"I've been drinking from a human too remember, you're not the only one having difficulties with this" he said annoyed, I sighed and nodded "You're right I'm sorry, we'll meet up later yeah?" I asked hopefully, he nodded "Later Mel" he waved before walking away, I sighed and looked around while staying where I was "Oh my god I love your bracelet" some blonde girl exclaimed while standing in front of me,

she lifted my left hand and inspected the bracelet my ex had given me "Where did you get it?" she asked cheerfully, I remembered the fact that we had to fit in so I went along with it "My friend gave it to me. A very old friend" I said, she nodded "You're new right?" she asked, I nodded "Yeah, just moved here from Wales with my dad" I lied, I was awesome at lying but when you're a vampire it helps to have that skill

"Right, well I'm Brandy" she said, I nodded "Melanie" I replied "You seem nice enough, why don't you hang around with me and my friends this morning?" she asked, I shrugged "Sure, couldn't hurt to know some people" I said, she smiled and linked her arm through mine "Let's go" she said, I nodded and we started walking.
