(A/N): Hey Guys! So, I'm in Skills, which is actually PLP now, I've done some work, typing up what needs to be typed up, but as I said last time, I don't trust the printers here at school, so I'll do that at home. I should probably actually be doing my History work on the Holocaust, but eh, I can do that whenever, it's just six slides. On the other hand, it is an oral presentation... I hate oral presentations. I'm also sick again... the flu. Stupid thing...

Over the next few weeks, we ran our two newest guests through the basics of being a vampire: Fighting, feeding... or not.

They didn't so much have trouble with the fighting, nor the feeding, but the thing they found hard was just getting adjusted to being a vampire in the first place.

"So... we don't sleep?" Shari shook her head, and the two teens shared a look.

"You don't eat human food either." I piped up from one of the couches, quietly reading a book while Shari and Lisbet were teaching the newbies.

"Well, you can, but there isn't a point to it, and if you eat too much it'll make you sick." Lisbet told them, and Jo grimaced.

"What about our families?" Shari frowned.

"I'm sorry, but you can't go back to them. At this point, you'd probably just kill them." Jo and Danniel flinched. "And they'll notice that you look different. And eventually, that you don't age. If you go back to them, you'll watch them grow old and die, and you can't do a thing about it. Isn't it better to avoid that?" Danniel pursed his lips.

"How are you so sure that we'll attack them?" Shari rolled her eyes.

"How much trouble are you having, being around Leo?" Jo and Danniel glanced at me, grimacing. "A fair amount, yeah?" Jo nodded hesitantly.

"He's only like, quarter human. A full human, you wouldn't be able to resist. Hell, even Leo, being half-vampire, has trouble being around full humans sometimes." I scoffed, rolling my eyes.

"You understimate me Shari. I always have trouble being around humans. I'm just great at hiding it." Shari narrowed her eyes at me in suspicion.

"Always?" I shrugged.

"Pretty much, yeah." Lisbet cleared her throat, trying to change the subject back.

"Even we older vampires have some trouble around humans. Avoid big crowds, even after you adjust, it's..." She shared a look with Shari. "Disorientating. That much blood... It's difficult to resist." Jo and Danniel frowned.

"So, we basically have to hide ourselves away for the rest of eternity?" Danniel asked sceptically, and Shari shook her head.

"I didn't say that. Leo's partly human, you can build up a sort of immunity to humans by being around him, then we'll expose you to a full human, let you build up immunity to that. Eventually, you'll have as much control as the rest of us." I raised an eyebrow at Lisbet's plan.

"Where are you going to get a full human?" Lisbet shrugged, and Shari answered for her.

"Maybe we could bring them out the next time your mother pays a visit." She suggested darkly, and I rolled my eyes.

"My mother's only half-human." I froze, feeling Shari and Lisbet watching me. "No way." I growled. "No!" I protested, and Shari rolled her eyes.

"They wouldn't even be in any danger, we'd all be there, we can the newbies!" I shook my head furiously.

"You're not going to use one of my friends as bait, no way!" Lisbet sighed deeply.

"They're going to come here eventually Leo. Do you really want the Twins here to not have developed an immunity before then? You're really ready to put them all in danger, rather than let them help us?" I shook my head.

"I know what you're doing Lisbet, don't even try it. I'm not putting any of them in dangers, especially not the full humans." Danniel frowned.

"Some of them aren't human?" I shrugged.

"Remus is a werewolf, remember? He wouldn't work for this. That only leaves Elaine, James and Sirius." Shari looked confused.

"Peter and Lily don't know about us being vampires, so they're most definitely out." Lisbet shook her head slowly.

"You'll have to tell them eventually." I glared at her.

"I will, but they aren't finding out while they're under attack by the Twins!" I told her sternly, and Jo and Danniel looked confused.

"I thought you said Elaine was half-veela as well." Danniel piped up, and I stared at him for a second, perplexed.

"What?" Then I remembered, and chuckled. "Oh, no! Elaine's not my girlfriend!" Even though I wish she was. The two looked surprised.

"So, who is your girlfriend?" Shari and Lisbet stared at me as well, waiting.

"Yeah Leo, who is your girlfriend?" I sighed deeply, scratching the back of my neck sheepishly.

"Brooke, kind of." Shari raised an eyebrow.

"'Kind of'?" I shrugged defensively.

"Well, we never made it official." Shari shook her head, returning to the subject at hand.

"What if we asked them? And they agreed?" I glared at her.

"You aren't asking them." Lisbet smirked.

"Why, because they'll agree?" Reluctantly, I nodded.

"Probably, yeah. But I won't let you put them in danger! Elaine's already been attacked by a vampire before, Sirius doesn't really know all that much about vampires, I don't want to expose him to... this," I gestured to the twins. "Just yet." Lisbet's lips quirked up.

"So, that leaves James." I glared at her, crossing ym arms over my chest stubbornly.

"James isn't exactly very trusting of vampires." Shari rolled her eyes.

"But he's your friend. He'd do it for you, wouldn't he?" I shrugged.

"Lately, James hasn't trusted me all that much either." Jo directed her gaze tot he ground, obviously feeling uncomfortable, but Danniel just smirked.

"Your friends are turning on you?" I glared at him.

"I won't hesitate to kill you if you piss me off, newbie. You aren't human." Danniel frowned at the reminder of his newfound lifestyle change.

"So, what you'd kill a vampire, but not a human?" I shrugged.

"If I had to, yeah." Lisbet grinned.

"Well, I think we should drop the 'bait' idea." We all stared at her, surprised.

"What?" I asked bluntly, and she shrugged.

"If you don't want us to ask them, I guess that's that." She seemed to be dropping the issue, but I knew better than to trust this sudden change.

"I mean it Lisbet, don't ask them to do this!" She pouted.

"But Leo, I'm not." Seeing me still sceptical, she frowned. "I promise."

(A/N): Heh, over 1,000 words. So, I'm nearing 200,000 words, yay! This is over half of my total word count on this website...

My school laptop is starting to run out battery, so I'll probably write chapters in my book from now on, if I get the chance to. It's almost recess, so I probably won't get another chapter written until like, halfway through Drama.
