~<>~ Kynaree's POV ~<>~
I was staring into a pair of light purple eyes, it took me a second to realize they were mine. My eyes went up and down my figure, that's when the questions started buzzing through my head. Why was I wearing this puke green shirt? What was up with my hair? And where was I?
I decided to check out my hair but when I lifted my hand to touch it the reflection just stood there with the same confused look. I discovered my hair was still it's natural purple color and it's short length. I waved my hand in front of the figure's face. It looked too real to be a picture, maybe it was a statue.
I went to stroke it when my fingers suddenly disappeared. It felt like a liquid, I tried to pull back but it wouldn't budge instead it started to pull me in. Maybe it was a portal, but it reminded me a awful lot like quick sand. Without another thought I was pulled into the liquid completely.
I held my breath as long as I could and finally when it felt like my lungs were going to burst I drew in a breath. That's when I figured out I was dreaming. Why was I wet then? Did I pee? No, don't tell me I peed.
"Kynaree" I heard someone call then I felt something hard and flat hit me in the head.
"Did I pee?" I mumbled when I finally awoke. I opened my eyes and Valkyrie was standing over my desk with a large book in her hand. The one, I assumed, she hit me in the head with.
"No"
"Then why'd you wake me up?" I mean come on, it was journalism.
"Because the bell just rang. It's lunch" she answered, that was a good enough reason. I rubbed my eyes dry of sleep and got a dirty look from my teacher on my way out of class. I wondered what she was thinking and I thought about asking Valkyrie, but since she could read minds I figured she would have told me from the moment I thought it.
Valkyrie started to walk faster to catch up with Nathan who was ahead waiting for her. I was going to follow her until Trudie tapped on my shoulder and walked along with me. "What are you doing tonight?" she asked.
My expression instantly turned into a smile as I remembered what I was doing. "Going on a date with Theo" Theo and I had known each other for a little over two months now and have been going out for the last two weeks. Ever since two Fridays ago when some guy in the hallway asked me to a dance. Theo shoved him into a locker and told him to stay away from his girlfriend. Or something along those lines, I couldn't really remember much of it. I was too busy gawking.
"Oh" she seemed disappointed, "I guess I'm reading again"
"Nah, you can come with us" I offered an idea suddenly springing it's way into my head.
"I don't want to be a third wheel"
"You'll be a fourth wheel" I told her "A fourth wheel on a car of awesomeness. I've got a date for you" It looked like she wanted to say something for a second but thought better of it.
"Okay, what time?" I told her all the details, except for who her date was, she didn't seem very interested anyways, I stopped talking about it when we reached our regular lunch table. Theo and Cecil were already sitting at it. Theo was busy pulling at his light green hair as he scribbled down a late assignment.
Cecil was Winchester, in school anyways. It was his insane disguise, he even used an American accent instead of his usual British one. When Cecil was Winchester he wore huge funny looking glasses and a greasy wig that was really itchy. I've told him several times he was paranoid but I'm starting to believe that he takes it as a compliment. I sat next to him and across from Theo so I could stare into his light green eyes, that had really dark circles underneath them.
"Why do you look so tired?" I asked.
"Because I am" he yawned back.
"Why?" I said keeping the conversation going, which I tended to do often.
"Him" he answered narrowing his eyes and pointing his pencil in Cecil's direction.
I glared at Cecil and said "What'd you do that for?"
"Hm?" he replied his mouth full of nachos.
Theo answered for him "He was talking to himself all night" "Actually I was practicing an Australian accent. I'm thinking about going there when this whole war thing is done with"
"Then why the hell do you need to learn an Australian accent?" Theo wondered and it looked like he gave up on his assignment.
"So I blend in better" Like I said, paranoid.
I ate some french fries and onion rings for lunch. I was a vegetarian due to growing up so small that a bug could eat me. Being a faerie had it's advantages of course but I still couldn't eat a hunk of meat without thinking of a giant caterpillar. Why? I have no idea.
After lunch the day always went by faster, I had my two favorite classes Orchestra and Art. Playing the violin always gave me that warm feeling of home when my mom used to play it for me. Art was fun because I talked to Cecil and the Dartans, which I occasionally referred to as the mutated freaks. The only reason I didn't like art was because the teacher hated me. I noticed that a lot of humans did, I wasn't sure if it was because they found me annoying or they were just jealous. Probably jealousy.
When the bell finally rang and announced school was over with I walked out with Cecil to his car where Theo was already waiting. Valkyrie already knew I wasn't coming home with her tonight so I hopped in the backseat.
On the way there I remembered something, "Hey, Cecil, you're going on a date with me a Theo tonight!"
"What?" he didn't sound as excited as I hoped. Actually he didn't sound excited at all.
"Yeah, I found a date for you" I replied with a huge grin on my face.
"Who?" he sighed.
"It's a surprise!" Theo burst into a fit of laughter after I said that, knowing how much Cecil loved surprises.

~Trudie's POV~
"Wow, I finished three books in one night?" I found myself talking to myself a lot lately. Since I got my new power of being able to see ghosts, I found that also came along with not sleeping at all. Necromancy. That’s what they called it anyway.
I finally got done getting ready for school and when it finally was lunch I walked over to Kynaree to see what she was doing tonight.
"Going on a date with Theo." She answered.
"Oh, I guess I'm reading again." I said.
"Nah, you can come with us" She offered.
"I don't want to be a third wheel"
"You'll be a fourth wheel. A fourth wheel on a car of awesomeness. I've got a date for you" She made me mad sometimes. Why does she think I need a date? Is it that obvious I'm lonely?
"Okay, what time?" I agreed feeling a little forced. Like I had to say yes even though, I have no idea who I just agreed to date.
She gave me the details and I just went along with her and her evil plans.
We went to lunch and met Theo and Cecil sitting at our usual table. Theo looked really tired and Cecil was randomly talking about learning a new accent or knowing a new accent or something like that? I was having trouble paying attention so I just went into my own imaginary world where its normal.
You would never think you would dream of being in a normal world. If there is such thing, I don't even know and I was normal once. The rest of the day went by fast, and I kept wondering where the time had gone. It was coming up to the time that Kynaree was going to tell me who my date was and I was getting antsy (sttw).
Finally, I saw a car drive up and I almost screamed when I processed that it was Cecil's car. Kynaree got out of the backseat and I saw Cecil driving. Kynaree walked in and I screamed "No, Cecil’s just driving us there right? He's not..." I couldn't get the words out, but I finally croaked it out "…my date?"
"Oh come on, Give him a chance. You never know you might be perfect for each other." She didn't sound convincing enough for me.
"No." I said not wanting to give her a choice. But of course, Kynaree convinced me that it might do me some good one day, so I agreed, even though I didn’t want to.
We walked out the door; I went to the back seat. Kynaree interrupted “No, you have to sit in the front” She screamed then quieted her voice and said “Cecil’s in front, Theo’s in back” she said her eyes glistening when she said Theo’s name.
“Fine” I muttered glaring at her, then got in the front seat.
“Hey” Theo said from the back seat. “Glad you could join us.” He said and even though I didn’t look back at them in the back seat, I knew he was staring at Kynaree, with love-filled eyes. I could tell by his voice.
“Yup,” I muttered. I wasn’t in much of a talking mood knowing I didn’t want to be here and I think I might have made it a little too obvious.
Cecil looked at me and then back at what must have been Kynaree with a ‘Why her?’ look in his eyes. I tried to look back at him with a ‘Don’t worry I feel the same way’ look in my eye. I think he took it wrong. More like a ‘Please, come on, I really want this, please make it work’ kind of look, which was way more than wrong.

--Xian's POV--
I got the invitation to the crowning of Valkyrie perrsonally by her. It was awkward, Valkyrie didnt like the idea but she was being nice. But both of us new that two Dartan's in the room with all those vampries would be hell for both parties.
She nodded and I thanked her for it anyway. I then told her that we would be going to search for the retreating Dartan's that left the war after Dr. D was killed.
Like all Dartan's, genetically mutated half vampire and half human, we had violet eyes. Aurora, the love of my life and soon to be dead girlfriend, was the only one who I had known to be a Dartan besides our creator Dr. D.
But over time I had learned that my only human friend Ethan, nicknamed Ace by me but then changed to Ethan by me because I was sick of calling him Ace, was also a Dartan, that betrayed Dr. Dartan to help us destroy him. Then there was also Dr. Dartan's daughter that we had taken in after he turned her into a Dartan and gave her up to her mother, who didnt think it was safe.
The Dartan army was defeated but some had ran off. I intended on finding them. ______________________________________________________________
One day after the war and/or six days before Valkyrie's queendomness.
The day after Valkyrie's invitation Ethan and I went to the woods where the battle took place. I was expecting to find Aurora there, like in my vision but she was not. Possibly this would take place in another place at a different time, and maybe I just saw what happened in the battle field because I was there. I dont know. But for now Aurora was still coming. And she wasnt happy with Ethan and I.
We thought that it would be the best place to start looking for the Dartan's that had run off. But after two weeks of searching we had found nothing. We came back a few days after Valkyrie's big bash. ______________________________________________________________
Night before Theo and Kynaree, Trudie and Cecil's double date.
We moved into an apartment that was much closer to Valkyrie's house and the school. Before we were quite a bit of ways away.
We have been in school for a while now, but it is still hard to get used to the idea that for now the danger was gone. We could relax.
We even were getting closer to Kynaree, in art we didnt ignore each other, we conversed. And Cecil or Winchester and Ethan have become more like friends with eachother. They both had a weird thing about coffee that neither Kynaree or I could understand.
I hung the last poster of Twilight on my wall. I was finished moving in. i was happy about that. It was late, about 11 at night. I walked to the edge of my door and saw Ethan still up watching TV, I think he was watching either Army Wives or Gilmore Girls. But I couldnt tell and didnt care.
"Goodnight.." I whispered from my door.
"Ga....Ni...t" He was already half asleep.
I shut my door. I went to my bed and picked up The Hunger Games, a good book that I was almost finished with.
I woke with the book hanging off the bed and the blankets still underneath me.
I got ready for school quickly and tried to get to the lower level of our loft without tripping. Even though the abilities I had were as close to a vampire's as you could get, I had my klutz moments.
I hate my cereal bar on the way to the car. Ethan drank his enormous cup of coffee already in the kitchen and filled it again and drank it on the way. I also enjoyed coffee, but he was a sure addict.
I pulled into the school. I had our schedule adjusted for the rest of the year. We had all of the hours together, instead of only two hours. First we had Chemistry, then Geometry, followed by History and then English. Lunch was after, which was now better because Ethan and I were invited to sit at the same table as Theo, Kynaree, Cecil and Trudie. I was glad it was getting better. After Lunch I had the three easy classes. First i had Computers, then I took a Study Hall so Ethan and I could do homework then and not at home. After that was Art.
I was eating my lunch and I heard somthing about Cecil learning a new accent for going to Australia. Which I thought was yes weird but it was definatly Cecil like. Ace and I sat at the other side of the table, trying to stay out of the way, but still being able to be in the conversation.
In Art I realized that I was not drawing Aurora. i was drawing a violet (haha). Kynaree also noticed.
"Hey, you arent drawing Aurora...whats the matter? Are you sick?...where is she anyway?" She asked.
"Nothing is the matter, i am not sick and Aurora left me." I simply told her not wanting to talk about it. She didnt say anything else to me the rest of the hour getting the hint that i didnt want to talk about it.
I heard her say somthng about a date with Theo for tonight. I wasnt surprised when the news of their dating hit me at that moment. The way they look at eachother....*shivers in disgust* I now know what Ethan went through when Aurora and I would do that.

~Valkyrie's POV~
Oh my god those shoes are horrible, better not say it though.
I should really ask her to the dance.
Valkyrie are you okay?
All these thoughts ran through my head. Most were human which I was used to and the other was Nathan's worried thoughts. His were the ones that I wasn't used to hearing. I looked up at him and nodded my head slowly. Now that I was able to hear everyone's thoughts it became to much at times and I still was having a hard time blocking them all out. Ever since I had been crowned queen two months ago I had been able to hear more than just the human races' thoughts.
"It's not getting any better is it?" Nathan asked aloud this time.
"No it's not. It's like I have a constant headache all day. " I told him rubbing my temple.
Wow look at Nathan today he's lookin fine. It's to bad he's with whitey he and I could make some good chemistry together. The disgusting thoughts of Samatha ran through my head. I looked up as she walked past and glared at her with pure hatred.
Frightened by the look in my eyes she walked by at a more brisker pace. "Valkyrie calm down." Nathan's voice was soothing.
I tried to calm myself down but with my head about ready to explode from the extra pressure it was nearly impossible. I was able to calm myself down again by the time the bell rang and headed off to my next set of classes. I was relived when the day was over. Knowing that Kynaree was going on a date with Theo I didn't bother waiting for her.
I sped home wanting some sort of quietness in my head before it was disturbed. Since the war two months ago I was always on edge waiting for Oni to do something to strike back. Even though I knew it would take longer than this to raise an army nothing was impossible for him. No longer did I underestimate him.
When I got home I threw my bag on the ground and headed to the couch where I plopped down in satisfaction and closed my eyes. Thankfully my parents were out and Nathan and I were the only ones home so to my graditude my head was mostly silent.
During the two months after the war it seemed like everything was going as it should. The Dartan's and my people were a little friendlier towards each other, and Rayna and I had become good friends even though some of her pack still annoyed me *cough Wyatt cough*.
Kynaree was still hyper as ever but I expected it from the small faerie and when she wasn't annoying everyone I often looked into her mind to see what was wrong. It was weird though, it seemed like hanging around all of us calmed her down a little. Not much but a little.
As long as everything stayed peaceful i was happy, but I knew it wouldn't last long. Oni would be after revenge and I knew he would follow through with it.

~*~ Rayna's POV ~*~
It's been a whole 2 months since the war and things were going pretty good, of course some things have changed, such as the alliance between the vampires and our wolf pack, and the alliance between them and the dartans also.
When we finalized the alliance my mother was worried about the ridicule we would get from other packs but my father pushed it aside since we weren't on good terms with them anyways and he was just happy that he could once again be friends with Valkyrie's father Onyx.
Other than alliances other changes have taken place also, like Valkyrie being able to hear not only human minds but those of myths too, when Wyatt found this out he started to freak but Ralph was able to reassure him that it was going to be ok, he still gets a little ansy when around her though.
After the war I wanted to give up my alpha rights but Tryst wouldn't let me so after gathering some information we came to a mutual agreement that reflected that of an actual wolf pack. He would be the alpha male and I would be the alpha female, supposedly we are the only pack to have it set up like this, kind of interesting I think.
When I got up this morning I had my normal bowl of cereal, something that I have been eating a lot of lately, who knew coco puffs were so addicting, I've been going through 2 boxes each week, there just so good.
After breakfast I got ready for school putting on plain blue jeans and a simple T-shirt, before heading out the door I grabbed my furry hooded jacket, I don't need it with the internal heating and all but some people might think I'm crazy if they see me without it.
I let Rem pull out first then followed her with my car to school. The day went by pretty quick, just normal stuff. At lunch I sat at my regular table with Rem, Wyatt, Tryst, and Mase.
"Oh my God, your actually eating this stuff?" Wyatt asked as I stuffed a fork full of what could have been mashed potatoes into my mouth.
"I'm hungry... jeeze" I said after swallowing
"That's no excuse, this stuff looks disgusting" He started saying
"Just leave her alone if she wants to eat it let her" Tryst said sticking up for me
With about 10 minutes of lunch time left I picked my tray up and walked over to Valkyrie's table. I didn't really get attached to any of the conversations and I decided to leave when Cecil started practicing his new accent.
When the final bell rang for school to be over I met Tryst at his locker and told him I was heading over to Valkyrie's for a while, he gave me a kiss then went his own way.
I didn't bother knocking as I entered her house I didn't really need to anymore cus she knew I was coming, sometimes she would even pull tricks on me, like hiding behind the door and popping out and scaring the poo outta me...yea.
She could hear me and find out where I was but I could smell her and find out where she was, the living room, which ment the kitchen was unattended.
I walked into the kitchen and headed to the cubborts where the cereal is kept, ever since Valkyrie saw me eat a whole box over one weekend she started to stock up on the stuff. I poured myself a bowl and chowed down.
A few minutes later she walked in a gave me a weird look.
"I'd offer you some, but I don't think you appreciate good cereal like I do" I smiled a bit.
She laughed and plopped down on one of the stools next to me, I watched as she took a deep breath. "Finally getting some quietness?" I asked
"Somewhat, at school it's the worst that's when I can hear everybody, it's horrible." she said "ahh and especially around Wyatt, it's like he just randomly talks in his head to annoy me" she complained
I shook my head. "No he's just like that, but maybe some of it is because you can hear him now, it actually kind of freaks him out, so whatever you learn use it to your advantage." Once I said that I could tell she was starting to plot her revenge.
After finishing my cereal I walked into the living room and chilled on the couch for a while and before I knew I was out like a light.

**Ember's POV** Ah the first day of school. I was hoping that maybe this time things would be different. That maybe I would be able to find a permenant home and school to stay in. But at each school I had been in for the last two years there had been a number of...incidents. This whole being a half-demon thing was really starting to wear on me. Day in and day out it seemed I had to constantly use my human facade. It takes a lot of energy to use it. Even in a mythical world things seemed to be looked down upon. I walked into the school kind of nervous. Of course kids look at the new student weird, even if they are human....looking. Okay this is pretty much what my human form looks like. Long cascading black, skin that is pale, but no so much that it looks like i'm about to keel over and die, and green eyes. I'll explain the whole demon look at a later date when I feel I want to. I looked at the clock. Almost time to go to class. shit, I edto try and get my locker open. Lockers never have really liked me, and when I do get them opened, stuff comes flying out from pranks kids have planted and such. That was the reason for the last...incident. A kid caught me on the wrong day and I well...he...I don't really need to explain what happen to him but let's just say i'm never allowed within a fifty mile radius of him anymore. I had actually managed to get my locker open and there was nothing in it, thank god. Chemistry was the first class. I liked that kind of stuff. Maybe was it because we got to make things smoke and if you did it right (even though you weren't supposed to) make it explode? eh, another incident was caused by me taking maybe...a little TNT to school and mixing it with hydrochloric acid =X. The entire day went smoothly, sure I had a few people stare but it wasn't all that bad.

~<>~Kynaree's POV~<>~
"Where are we eating anyways?" Trudie finally said after Cecil pulled out of the driveway. I looked at Theo waiting for him to answer, we never really talked about it.
"I don't know" he answered, "Where do you all wanna go?"
We all mentioned a few restaurants and eventually decided to go to a nice family restaurant, that way everyone had something they liked. Cecil parked and everyone got out. Theo held my hand to the door, knowing how easily I slipped on ice. I wasn't really used to winter, I never had it in my realm and I was uncoordinated enough on the ground. I noticed that Cecil didn't even help Trudie out of the car, he just rushed inside. He was probably really cold and just wanted to get warm.
The place wasn't very crowded, seeing it was Monday and we were ushered to our seats right away. We were seated at a booth so I sat next to Theo and across from Trudie. We ordered ice waters and started to scan through the menu.
"I want potatoes" I announced pointing to a picture of a baked potato with sour cream.
"That's a side-dish, don't you want a meal with it?" Cecil pointed out.
"Nah, letter get what she wants" Theo argued and then added "I'm getting some Chicken Alfredo"
"I wasn't saying she couldn't get it, I was just saying that isn't very much to eat"
"Fine" I muttered before Theo could open his mouth again. Not that I didn't enjoy his voice it was just I didn't feel like listening to him and Cecil argue. "I'll get some tomato soup too"
"I'll have the same thing Theo's getting" Trudie said.
"I'll get that too" Cecil mumbled not even opening the menu.
I frowned, "Now I feel left out" I sighed sadly. Theo slid his arm around my shoulders and told me the it was okay to be different speech. I wasn't really sure what his point was, but I liked listening to his voice. Trudie didn't join in the conversation much she gazed out the window. Cecil through himself into the conversation every once in a while but mostly watched the other customers have a good time.
So it was mostly just Theo and I chattering away about nothing in particular until our food arrived. Then everyone started eating their Chicken Alfredo, everyone except me. I was the first one done and Theo was done next. Cecil and Trudie finished about the same time and then Theo exclaimed "Now for dessert!"
"I'm not really hungry" Trudie answered.
"Yeah, me neither" I added.
"Oh well your getting dessert anyways" when the waitress came back again he ordered two hot fudge sundaes.
"There's four of us" Cecil noted when the waitress walked away.
"Yeah, Kynaree and I are leaving" Theo smiled wickedly and I followed him out of the booth. I shrugged at Cecil who still looked confused.
"What about the car?" he asked.
"You and Trudie can walk" Theo told him. I just kept grinning stupidly at Theo as Cecil and him argued briefly about the car. We ended up driving away and leaving Trudie and Cecil at the restaurant.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Ice skating" he answered with a smirk on his face.
"I'm gonna fall on my face" I grumbled and folded my arms across my chest, what a jerk.
"I knew you'd say that. You're going anyways"
Maybe it wouldn't be that bad, Theo would be there the whole time, he wouldn't let me get hurt. I talked myself into it as I put on the ice skates he handed me, we were at an ice rink and there were only a few couples there.
I gulped when my first skate touched the ice, Theo was behind me making sure I didn't fall on my butt but I was still uncertain about this. I made it all the way on and I could already imagine myself slipping on my head, cracking my skull and being sent into the emergency room. It was tricky keeping my feet underneath me. Theo was a natural at it and showed off a bit when he passed in front of me. I didn't like skating very much, the only part I liked was how Theo stayed close to me the entire time to make sure I didn't fall. I didn't make it very far on the ice so finally he just dragged me along behind him, me screaming all the while.
"So, it wasn't that bad was it?" he teased on the way home.
I shrugged, "It wasn't... that bad" I tried not to smile.
"Yeah, that's what I thought" he grinned to himself. "I can't wait until Cecil hears that you actually skated... without breaking any bones"
"He'll probably freak out" I joked, even though it was sort of true.
"Probably" he agreed, "I wonder how his date went" his grin grew bigger.
"Wonderful" I answered as if this was completely obvious.
"Yeah they're a perfect match. They're both crazy"
"Hey, Trudie's not that crazy and neither is Cecil"
"Right" he snorted.

--Xian's POV--
After school I got in the car with Ethan. He seemed sad. He just stared out the window. He didnt notice anything. I turned the wrong way and went towards town more.
"Your going the wrog way." He said with a sigh.
"I know. We are going to go get corn dogs from the vendor downtown. You know the guy on the sidwalk with the Corndog cart?" I asked.
"Yeah, I know."
"Well thats where we are going." i told him a little to happy for his taste apparently.
"Oh, joy." was all he said for the rest of the ride.
We arrived and I parked near the Corn dog vendor. We wlked and i noticed that Ethan had tears not quite leaking over.
"Are you crying?" i asked
"No...jeez..." he said while wiping the tears from his eyes with his sleeve.
"What is the matter...youve been depressed for the last two hours."
"Because...of what i saw. You know how I told you about my other power...besides making people believe they see things that are not true...like my eyes? Well I can also see into someones past if i stare into their eyes. Well i did with yours..for only a few second but I saw what you saw."
"What I saw?" I asked confused.
"Yeah, the vision about Aurora...I am so sorry...I didnt mean to do it..well I didnt mean to not yet have done it...that didnt make sense did it?"
"No, but its okay. I am not in love with her any more. I was at one point and yes I will miss her but she left me here with the high chance of dying against Dr. D and his army. It is her fault. I am over the fact that you will kill her." He shuddered as i said the words. "Listen, Its fine. I wish to be here with you. and as weird as it is, the vampires werewolves and faerie..s."
"Okay..but-"
"Its fine. You will make the right decision and I dont care which it is." i told him. Though I did care, but i thought I would let him feel better. However, I did really want to stay and Aurora was not in love with me and nor I was with her.
The next morning we headed to school. In chemistry there was a new girl. She had long black hair and green eyes. She sat a few tables up from mine and Ethan's.
Geometry and History went by with ease. I stared at the front of the class and waited for it to end. And they did quickly. Thank go I sat in the back of the room for almost every class.
English was as well easy, a movie day. And because we wouldnt finish in one, we had the rest of the week to watch it.
At Lunch I sat at our new table. It was a rectanglular table. Four seats to each side and two on each end. At one end I sat with my lunch. On one side was Ethan, Cecil, Trudie and then an empty seat. No one sat at the other end seat. On the other side across from the empty seat sat Nathan, Valkyrie, Kynaree and then Theo across from Ethan.
We ate lunch in peace. Trudie was desperatly trying to stay away from Cecil. Ethan and Cecil were talking about...well whatever they usually talked about. Nathan and Valkyrie were smiling and laughing with each other. Theo and Kynaree were talking quietly to themselves. Staring at each other. I ate my lunch -disgusting lunch- and got up to go dump my tray.
After Computers was over I had Study hall with Ethan. We asked the teacher from our room that we reported to for attendance, if we could go to the library, like we always did.
I read my book and before I knew it the bell had rung and Ethan was tugging on my arm to get up.
Art went by slowly. I drew a 3-D like snail that was boxy and squarish. It was interesintg but it was boring.
Kynaree was talking to Cecil and Ethan had fallen asleep some time during class.
It seemed like the ball would never ring when finally...it did.

~Valkyrie's POV~
When I woke up the next morning I was greated by a dull light coming from my window and another round of thoughts in my head. Kynaree was thinking about random things like normal, Nathan was still sleeping so his thoughts were calm and Trudie was thinking about the latest book she finished. I got up and looked out my window and groaned, it was snowing.
I went to my closet and pulled out a black shirt with a red vest to go over it. I put on my black boots and headed downstairs. Nathan, Trudie, Kynaree and I all rode together not wanting to take other vechicles when we didn't need to. Putting on my sunglasses because even though the sunlight was dim it still hurt my eyes.
When we got to school I had an instant headache from all the voices that entered my head. At lunch I tried to ignore it by talking with Nathan. A new smell hit me and I stopped talking.
"Nathan do you smell that?" I asked to him in a whisper.
"Yes, it smells different than everyone." He told me. I looked around the lunch room and saw the new girl standing in line waiting to get her food. Her thoughts hit me then.
"She's a half demon." I whispered to Nathan, not wanting to startle everyone else.
"Well thats a new one." Nathan told me shocked as he blinked in surprise.
"Yup." The rest of the day went smoothly and I noticed the new girl was in my english class. From her thoughts I found out that her name was Ember. The rest of the day went by quickly and soon I was heading home. It wasn't long till Rayna came barging through the front door.
"Seriously warn me before you come so I can prepare for my silence to be broken." I told her as she immedietly went to the kitchen.
"Sorry. Where's everyone else?" She asked noticing the quietness of the house.
"Kynaree's with Theo, of course, Trudie went to the book store, and Nathan is out hunting." I told her. She went to the top cabinet and pulled out the unopened box of coco puffs.
"I'm going to go broke keeping this place stocked with coco puffs, if you can't control your hunger." I scoffed at her. She glared back at me and I was surprised when it wasn't her thoughts that entered my mind but instead an unrecognizable voice was in my mind.
Looking around the room I tried to locate the source of the unrecognizable mind but it was only Rayna and I. Stumped I listened harder and Rayna gave me a confused look. The thoughts were jumbled and hard to make out.
"Valk you okay?"
"Shh." I quieted her wanting to try and make something out of the jumbled thoughts.
"I got nothing." I said aloud frusterated at the nonsence thoughts.
"What are you talking about?" Rayna asked confused.
"I'm not sure." I confessed grinning.
"I think the whole mind reading is starting to have an effect on you." She told me giving me a weird look.
"I believe your right."

~Trudie's POV~
After we ate dinner at this little family restaurant, Kynaree and Theo pulled a mean little trick and left Cecil and I to die while eating hot fudge Sundays.
It was quiet until the Hot Fudge Sundays were approaching and then conversation started.
"Oh my gosh, I have never been so happy to see hot fudge Sundays in my life." I said.
"Hupf" Was all the noise that came from his mouth.
"I know." I laughed. "Thank you" I said to the waitress when she handed us our hot fudge sundays.
"Yeah thanks" Cecil muttered.
"Hey so, What have you been up to?"
"Um, Well, School."
"Yeah that makes sense." Our conversation was a little awkward, but it was still a conversation.
By the time we finished our Hot Fudge Sundays the conversation was flowing. I was really getting to know him and I think he was really getting to know me, it was nice. When we left he was leading me out of the restaurant with his hand gently on my back.
We left the restaraunt in the freezing cold, snow was falling and there was a foot of it already on the ground.
I was freezing and only had a sweater on. We were walking down the street and I said, "It's freezing out here."
"Yeah, do you want my coat?" He asked, starting to take it off.
"No, then you'll be cold."
"I have another one on." He said taking off his outside layer coat, and putting it over my shoulders.
"Thanks." I smiled at him.
“No Problem.” He smiled back at me.
We walked home and he put his hand around my waist. We walked is silence with my head gently resting against his chest. We got to Valkyrie’s house and he walked me to the door. I handed him his coat, and we said good night and he walked off for his car. I watched him drive off, and then went inside and got ambushed with questions from Kynaree and Theo.
I answered whatever questions she had and then went in my room to read for the rest of the night.
In the morning when Kynaree came in to tell me that she was up, I walked downstairs for breakfast and felt an awkward feeling. The feeling i get when there is a ghost around.

--Xian's POV--
Ethan and I walked to the car after school was over. I sat in the drivers seat and put in a CD, I think it was either Coldplay or Flyleaf. I didnt look at it, I just put it in. The reason I wasnt looking at the CD was because I saw the new girl walk off around the corner and disappeared behind some trees.
She was gong to be interesting. I had a feeling.
I drove home slowly not wanting the day to end too soon. When we got home I brougt my bag to my room and sat on the couch and turned on Gilmore Girls. Ethan and I watched it until the episode was over.
I walked into the kitchen and started dinner. I made breaded chicken breast and a alfredo sauce with some pasta.
"Its really good Xian." Ethan told me from the other side of the table.
"Thank you." I simply answered not really in the mood to talk.
"Um..How did you learn to cook so well?" He asked trying to get the conversation going.
"When we escaped Dr. Dartan, the man who saved us, our father, took care of us, he fed us, taught us things, like math, and science, and also how to cook and more domestic things as well...The rest I just learned from the Food Network." I told him with a smile.
He chuckled and continued to eat. After a few minutes of eating we did the dishes. I washed, he dried. "So where did your name come from? I always wondered but never asked." Ethan said.
"Well, being a scientist, Dr. Dartan gave Aurora and I a series of letters and numbers as names. We didnt remember our human names before he took us. My serial number was XY009IAN and Aurora's was XX010IAN. XY for male and XX for female. IAN was coded for Inhanced Ability Nationalization. I took X and added Ian to the end. And there you have it. Xian."
"What about Aurora? Where did her name come from?" he asked with interest.
"Aurora was the name of Dr. Dartan's wife, Addy's mother. She was killed. He named Aurora after her."
"Oh...Ethan isnt my name either you know. It is techncally XY030IAN. I took the Y and added the 'th' from thirty and IAN at the end. YthIAN. or Ethan." He told me. I smiled at the similarities between our names to our serial numbers.
The rest of the night was quiet. I read the book Wicked before I went to bed. It was weird but it was a good story. I didnt finish but I was too tired to go on for the night.
That night I dreamed of my vision. But this time I could change it, I started moving and helping Aurora and defending Ethan. But no matter what, Aurora died and Ethan was the cause. I couldnt stop the out come.
I have had this dream every night, the first was the night after the battle. I didnt have a choice. Aurora was going to die.

~<>~Theo's POV~<>~
Kynaree insisted that I waited for Cecil and Trudie when we got to Valkyrie's. She was bouncing up and down with excitement. "I bet their date was super-duper spectacular" she sang.
"Yeah, I bet" I replied trying not to sound sarcastic. She kept watch out of the kitchen window while I sat at the table.
"They're here!" she squealed and a half a minute later Trudie came inside. "How was it?" she asked rushing up to her immediately.
"Fine" she said and then added "Cecil's waiting for you in the car"
"Okay" I made my way out the door while Kynaree questioned Trudie to the very last detail. It was cool outside and I felt kind of bad for making Trudie walk all the way here. I slide into the passenger's seat and dropped the keys in Cecil's already opened hand. "How was your night?" I tried to say without laughing. His expression was priceless.
He started the car and answered "Which part? The part where I walked two miles in the snow?"
"You weren't walking in the snow, it was mostly gravel. Quit being so overly dramatic" I scoffed.
He was silent after that, I was going to brag about my date but I decided against it. I know Cecil was more slender, shorter, and less muscular, but he could be pretty scary. When he glared at me it was like he could see right through me. Plus, I knew he had guns hidden all over the house and he could shoot me in my sleep. The only reason he didn't was because it would upset Kynaree. You know never know though, he might snap.
He finally broke the silence, "So what'd you and Kynaree do?"
"Ice skated" I answered trying not to sound too enthusiastic.
"Kynaree ice skated?" he looked like he was going to crack up laughing and it sort of freaked me out. "How'd that go?"
"Fine, she's still alive, no broken bones" I shrugged.
"You know, I had a dream the other night" he didn't ask if I wanted to hear it he just started to tell me it "You, Kynaree and I were escaping this house with a bomb inside--"
"Too much coffee man" I shook my head.
"Anyways," he continued "Kynaree, being the klutz she is, got stuck in a hole in the floor--"
"Couldn't she just turn into a faerie and escape?" I interrupted again.
"This is a dream... and you kept going"
"Huh?"
"In the dream you keep going and you didn't even come back to help her get out of the hole" he explained.
"Uh, okay like I said too much coffee. You need more rest" I felt really uncomfortable at this point. I knew what he said was true, I probably wouldn't have helped anyone, even if it was my own mother.
We parked and I was happy to escape from the car but Cecil caught me before I could run into the house. "What I'm trying to say is, don't let anything happen to Kynaree... or I'll make you regret it" As I said before, he could be frightening when he wanted to.
Instead of running inside like I wanted to I said "Why do you care, she's not your girlfriend." I had a huge grin on my face hoping I hit below the belt.
"She's my friend" my grin decreased, he had a point.
I rolled my eyes and walked into his scummy house, it was sort of our house currently but I wasn't going to admit that. He didn't say anything to me the rest of the night and just went in his room. I didn't hear him talking to himself in his stupid annoying accent and I fell quickly to sleep on the couch.
The next morning we meet Kynaree, Trudie, Valkyrie and Nathan getting out of Valkyrie's car. Kynaree skipped to my side and we were off to class, she told me everything that Trudie told her and asked if Cecil mentioned anything. "Yeah, he said he had a great time"
"I knew it" she had a goofy smile on her face, "They're meant to be"
"Yep, Kynaree matchmaker extraordinaire" I replied just so I could see her smile widen into a grin. She was a dork, but as long as she didn't care neither did I.

~*~ Wyatt's POV ~*~
"Do I look like a messanger boy to you?" I scoffed once Rayna was finished throwing up, she wiped the dribble from her face and gave me a weak look, then heaved again.... ew.
"Wyatt it's not like we're asking you to enter a cave full of demons" Tryst tried to reason with me.
"I'd take the cave over this..." I began saying
"Oh my god are you that afraid of her, it's just Valkyrie, you know her."he said
"Ya I know, but she knows what i'm thinking, and that scares me."
He rolled his eyes and put a wet wash cloth on Rayna's forehead.
"Your the only one going to school today, so your the only one who can tell Valkyrie why we're not there so she doesn't worry." he explained
I sighed loudly then marched out the door and got in my car. Stupid Rayna for getting sick like that then giving it to stupid Rem who gave it to stupid Mase, and stupid Tryst for staying home and looking after then, who does that anyways, gah stupid.
When I parked my car I cracked the window and looked for any sign of the mind reader, nowhere in sight, perfect.
I booked it to the entrance and was home free until I turned the corner. She was leaning against a couple lockers like she was waiting for me...creepy.
She walked up to me, and I froze up trying to keep my mind clear, trying to beat her. "uhhhh ummm Rayna and -" she cut me off
"There sick, ok thanks" she started to turn around. "Hey, I was supposed to tell you" I complained
"You were taking too long" she turned towards me, "too long...you didn't even give me a chance" I argued
She rolled her eyes then walked away as the bell rang. Stupid Valkyrie with her mind reading powers.
At lunch I took a seat at Valkyrie's table and decided to put a plan into action.
'sup' I thought, I saw Valkyrie's forehead wrinkle a bit, 'I said sup' she looked at me and gave me a nasty look.
'hahaha you look funny, did you know that, no of course you didn't cus you have no idea what you look like right now but I do, maybe you should look in a mirror or something cus you have to see your face right now it's priceless...but then again you might break the mirror so scratch that' I rambled on and she pretended to ignore me. she was able to ignore me for the remainder of lunch but I wasn't done with my fun just yet.
I skipped the rest of my classes that day just so I could sit outside of Her classes and think, and boy did I think. I listened in and she was in some type of math class.
'2, 89, x=8y, your mom, 56%, 2 hundred and thirty three dollors, did you get that?' ha this was to good, I can't wait to tell everybody about my day.
At the end of the day I walked back to my car and rummaged through my jean pockets for my keys. They weren't in the left one or the right. I peered into the car window and saw them dangling from the ignition. I grabbed the door handle, it was locked. 'crap' I thought as the alarm went off and made me jump.
"Aw did you lock your keys in the car?" I barely made out the voice over the alarm, Valkyrie was smiling when I turned around I glared at her. "You did this" I stated
"You have no proof" she smiled then walked to her car.
I watched as she drove out of the parking lot. Stupid Vampire in her stupid car that she actually is able to drive.
I reached in my pockets again and searched for my phone, that wasn't there either. I looked after Valkyries car and saw a glint of silver in the back window...my phone. I hate that vampire.

Ember's POV The next day at school was strange. I had so many thoughts racing through my mind. Strangely enough I felt at some points through the day that I wasn't the only one in my head. I looked around the lunchroom suspicously. I had encountered mind reader's before. That was why I was extra careful to keep those "forbidden" memories locked away. But at some points they leaked out. I had to make sure that didn't happen in this individuals presence. That night I spent the night out in the woods contemplating. A beautiful scarlet moon cast it's crimson light upon the sparkling snow. Each crystal looked liking a sparkling blood diamond. I sighed. Keeping this human facade on was tiring. I let my emerald eyes fade to there natural red color. I allowed my silky raven wings to stretch out. The star marking appeared near the corner of my left eye. My senses awakened. In my human form I had been noticing as of late that my awareness had receded. Everything came alive again. The sounds of little canaries chirping miles away, the minute detail of the bark upon the trees, the emotions of the creatures around me. Animals had an interesting mind, of course not nearly as complex as a human's, but somehow more pure. I wanted from a distance the little faun that was following its mother deer through the forest. It must have just been born because mass confusion tangled up its thoughts of hunger and curiousity. I smiled. How I wished to have the innocence of childhood back. Suddenly a "forbidden" memory poisoned my thoughts. **Flashback** A small darkened school room. Broken, dusty, splintering little desks scattered throughout. The teacher dead at her desk...eyes permanently dilated with horror. Blood running down from the corner of her mouth, her hair tossled in every direction. And what seemed like a thousand deafening screams emenating from the corner. So many eyes filled with fear, detestation, and loathing. And seven year old me, ghost-faced in the corner with almost completely black eyes. That little voice of my youth screaming "I didn't mean too....I didn't mean too....I didn't..." Suddenly I snapped myself out of it. But still those little screams of terror reigned in my mind for a few moments. I wondered what this mental invader would think if they ever saw that....

--Xian's POV--
I woke up from another dream of Aurora being killed by Ethan. I couldnt do this anymore. I wanted this to be done. I didnt want to think about it or dream about it. I didnt want her to die, but I didnt have a choice. I needed this to stop.
I walked to the phone and dialed the number of Aurora's sisters' house. I paced the floor in the kitchen realizing I had forgotten to put some grocheries away from last time I shopped. It was only a few things. Peanuts, Pop-tarts, popcorn...nothing that was parishable so I put those away as the phone rang on the other end. WAiting to be picked up by someone. Anyone. Why wouldnt they ansewer?
"Hello." I heard a voice that was reconizable but it was not Aurora's.
The rest of the conversation went like this...
Me: "Addy? Hey how are you. Its me Xian. Can-"
Addy: "I know, I can see the future member?"
Me: "Oh, yeah right..anyway well then can I talk to her?"
Addy: "I suppose...just dont even think of asking her to go back to talk. I know what will happen. Aurora is my aunt and my friend. Dont even think about it."
Me: "Alright, but I cant just wait for you guys to never come back-"
Addy: "I said dont even ask-"
Aurora: "Addy, give me the phone." I heard Aurora in the background.
Addy: "Fine.."
Aurora: "Xian, Addy told me and I wont come. Ethan is going to kill me. Why would I come for that?"
Me: "Because...I need this to be over, you and Ethan and I have to work this out. I need you to come."
Aurora: "But I am going to die."
Me: "I know."
Aurora: "Then why would you ask?!"
Me: "Becuase, why would you want to hide? You left me here to die, you dont think that we should work this out? Even before you die. Maybe we can still have it so you dont. I will talk to Ethan, he doesnt want to kill you. But somehting will happen which will trigger him to. I just dont know what it is..."
Aurora: "Well, figure it out."
Me: "I dont know what to do."
Aurora: "Just do it. Then maybe I will come."
Me: "I cant wait- nay- WE cant wait."
Aurora: "Maybe."
Me: "You have to...we need to end this fued."
Aurora: "Alright. I will come and we will talk. Ethan stays home. Alright?"
Me: "Fine, I will talk to him."
Aurora: "Good." *Click*
I hung up the phone took a big breath and went and got ready to go to school.
Ethan and I got to school late. First period had already started. We decided to skip until fourth hour and go to English than lunch and the rest of the day.
We went to the local Mall and hit the food court first for breakfast. Not alot of people were there except old people that were in jogging suits buying old people things. Old people got up way to early.
After that we did some shoppping and before we knew it, school time.
