I've been working on an idea I think everyone would be interested in. Basically, this would be the tale of Dr. Chrysanthemum. He is a mad scientist that sets up "accidents" where boats and planes end up crashing into his secret island. He then takes the survivors and experiments on them to his design---animal-hybrids, meta-humans, robotic creatures, cyborgs, and basically any mutant you can think of. He releases them onto his island and watches them from his mountain inhabitance. There are already several groups of people situated on the island trying to survive and make a life on this make-shift prison. No one knows exactly what Dr. Chrysanthemum's intentions are at this point but everyone knows that he must have some as there are cameras everywhere around the island and beasts are often released from unknown areas to challenge his experiments. You wake up to find yourself unable to recognize the person you see in the mirror once Dr. Chrysanthemum is done with you. What type of life in his prison you lead is entirely up to you. However, beware of the mysteries that lie within Dr. Chrysanthemum's island.

Anyone interested?



Angel


The bar had seemed like any old bar upon first glance. Located in the slummiest area of Riverbury, it was a hot-spot for criminal activity. Black heeled boots clicked against the cracked side-walk as a girl in black made her way toward her destination, the moonlight reflecting off her red hair which bounced gently behind her with every step. She had passed this way before months ago and the area had been a mess of gangs and robberies. Now there was only silence that filled the brisk air. Rock music could dimly be heard the closer she got to the bar. She pushed open the door with her elbow, moving in without a hesitation. The aroma of cigar smoke hit her hard in the face immediately. She could see the smoke twisting in its artistic way through the air, forming curls in the foggy atmosphere, illuminated only by the dim bar lights. There was a green-felted pool table nearby the entrance with a couple of thuggish dudes surrounding it.

The ginger leaned against the wall, pulling a small lemon out of her bag and biting into it, peel and all. There were about four playing pool. Their outfits almost seemed business-like. She could spot quite a few expensive articles. Each of them had rather pale skin, which didn't surprise her at all. She had been expecting that this place was under new management so to speak. There was a woman in tight, skimpy clothing with a long black pony-tail working the bar. There was a whole bunch of people seated around the bar and the tables nearby it. Their voices were loud and indistinguishable from each other. She hated the sound of crowds. It gave her a head-ache. Everyone just happened to be very pale here with noticeably vibrant eyes. Maybe they lacked diversity here. She knew she was so wrong for hoping for that reasoning. She craned her neck and got on her tippy toes. Finally, she had found what she had been looking for. "Bingo."She whispered under her breath.

Three people were tied to the wall behind the bar. Their heads hung limply and death seemed to be welcoming them with open arms. Their clothes were splattered with red and jars filled with liquid filled the shelves. She watched the bartender stroll up to one and secure a tube to the neck of one of the victims. With a grimace, the red-haired girl pushed off the wall and made her way toward the bar, gaining the gazes of everyone around her. She shrugged her black leather jacket off and tied it around her waist. Gloved-hands pressed against the edge of the bar as she pushed herself between a couple. "Excuse me."

She felt as if every gaze in the entire bar had fallen on her. She glanced around and smirked, taking another bite of her lemon. "I'm kinda disappointed in the lack of options you got here. I was hoping to at least see a bloody mary on the menu. Any chance you know how to make one, blood-sucker?"

Someone whistled. "You got some nerve, livestock."

Some of the men started chuckling and the women were staring at her as if she were insane.
"Do you have a death wish, kid?" She asked incredulously, craning her neck over the crowd to look by the door. "Who the fuck let this brat in here?"

"You bet I have a death wish and it's for all you lousy, murdering pieces of shit. Give me the humans and tell me where I can find Lee or else no one is getting out of here alive."

The bar broke into laughter. Some of them were even slapping their knees.

"Oh honey, the only one not getting out of here alive is you." The barista opened her mouth, her sharp teeth emerging. The others began to circle around her like vultures, chuckling.

Angel quickly moved back and reached behind her back. There were two sheaths crossed in the form of a "X" across her back. She pulled out two long swords with purple detailing on the handles. The sharp sound of swords being unsheathed filled the air and made everyone take a step back, confidence slowly dwindling.

"Oh, fuck...She's one of them."

"A hunter? Alone? What a fool."

Angel twisted her body around and drew her sword roughly in a circle as she sliced an incoming attacker across the chest, simultaneously kicking another in the face. She landed her feet up on a table in her upward motion and kept her swords at her sides. The vampire fell to the floor, twitching slightly before finally going still. "Have you forgotten what our swords are soaked in?"She asked icily. "Sure you can probably outnumber me but the risk remains." She knew they were all so much stronger than her and she'd be stupid to think they'd feel threatened by her. Still, she knew some of them had to be cowardly when it came to risking their lives. Not all of them were soldiers prepared to battle.

They looked at each other, mumbling. Some of them actually backed off while others seemed to just get more pissed off. The barista moved forward, drawing a sword as well. "It's worth if I get to feel your life slip away as I drink every last drop of your blood." Angel tilted her head. The woman was strong. There was a way that she carried herself in dress and in conduct that suggested her old age. The older the vampire, often the stronger they were.

The problem was some of the other ones behind her looked just as strong. Some of them were trying to close in behind, ready to pounce. Sometimes Angel just liked to pretend that she was dumb enough to try and fight all of them. They bought it and they in return bought her time. She charged forward and made a sudden change in direction toward the power cord. She sliced it quickly and efficiently and the power went out.

"Oh hell!" The barista ran over to turn it back on. Vampires could see much better than humans could in the light but the darkness was another story. Their sight was perhaps even worse than a human's in the darkness. They relied on their other senses more in the dark. She quickly moved from the cord and ran to the humans. She chucked one girl over her shoulder and grabbed the other two's arms. She quickly dragged them outside and sat them there. She ran back inside, shutting the door behind her as the lights came back on. She went charging at the barista, clashing both her swords against hers. "Miss me?" She hissed tauntingly in her face. "Tell me where Lee is or I'm going to-"

"Silly."The barista interrupted and shoved her with sudden strength to the ground. Another vampire stepped on her chest as her swords clashed against the wooden floor loudly. "You're just livestock. That's all you'll ever be. If you can't hold a fight with a bar full of us then you're useless trying to pick a fight with Lee. He's three times harder than all of us put together... Just accept your place in the food chain worm." She began kicking hard in the gut until Angel coughed up a bit of blood. Each kick was a powerful force that made agony ripple through her body in waves like nothing she had felt before. It felt like everything inside her was bursting open.e

The door swung open suddenly and a hooded figure came running in, swinging a giant, heavy blade hard against the barista's back. Her eyes widened and her lips parted in mid-gasp but no sound came out of her mouth. Instead, her torso slid off her body and hit the floor, her legs still weakly holding her waist up in the air. It crumpled after a couple seconds as well. It had been a clean cut through the entire body. Angel stared in horror but did not react vocally. Her head fell against the wooden floor and her eyes shut weakly. The figure scooped up Angel as if she were as light as paper and ran out before anyone could react.

"God damn it Angel."

Everything went black from there. However, it felt like it had been milliseconds later that she opened her eyes to white. Slowly, she rose her body up to rest on her elbows as she took in her surroundings. White sheets covered her lower half and white tiles covered the entire surface of the floor, not to mention the white walls and the white door and the doctor dude in the white lab coat at the desk to the left. She hated any type of health facility. They all looked the same and every time you woke up in one, it basically meant you got your ass kicked.

She slowly tilted her head to gaze to the right of her. Evan sat there, his face buried in a book and his feet kicked up on the side-table. He was still wearing his black uniform. A few medals rested on the breast of his coat. She could spot a few blood splatters.

"You waited for me to wake up."Angel stated though it was obvious.

He looked up and sat his book down. His serious blue eyes bore into hers. His brown hairline was receding a tiny bit already despite his young age. "How many times does this have to happen for you to get it?"

"Hey I usually kick their asses. I was just taking a chance with that one because this guy told me his sister was in the-"

"I don't mean picking fights with vampires. I mean hell, that's our fucking job Angel and I've told you to do that as a priority. I'm talking about the fucking team work issues you got kid. You always go at it alone every time-"

"Well you haven't exactly put me on a team. Holly and I are the only trainees right now and we're being trained separately. According to your rules, teams of two suck and we don't even talk to each other anyway. So I opted to go on my own and risk no one's ass but my own."Angel retorted, cutting him off. How could he sit there and chastise her about team work when she had no team?

"Angel if you find out something you report it to me and we send in people to deal with it. One person isn't practical."Evan began exasperatedly. He ran a hand through his hair, looking deeply upset. "You could have asked your trainer, Niko, about it at the least. Going in by yourself is the most foolish, insane idea-"

"But it usually works. Remember how I took on that vampire group on my own? They were no match-"

"Angel you almost died this time, "Evan snapped, standing up. "They had to do so much work to make sure you lived. Vampire strength is so much stronger than ours that her kicks were doing internal damage. You're resting the next day or two then off to high school you go."

"High school!"Angel repeated indignantly. She shot up out of the bed and he pushed her back down. "What the fuck would I be doing at a high school?"

"Learning how to socialize and work with others. You have gone way too long avoiding social interaction and I'm throwing you into the midst of it. And guess what? I'm not even thinking about making you an official soldier unless you learn how to work with others. I'm not losing my troops to your foolishness."

"But I've never gone before I'm years behind Evan please-"

Evan waved her off, "Your grades don't matter. As soon as we see that you can interact with others functionally we will pull you out of there."

She folded her arms, laying back down roughly. "I'm so fucking pissed at you. You can't make me-"

"It's that or you can sit in my house all day staring at the wall wishing you could finally get your vengeance."

"Fine."Angel said through gritted teeth. She kicked the blankets off herself and stormed out without another word.

Zane


Zane woke up with a start to the feeling of damp wood underneath his skin. Panting hard, he looked around the room around him, panic running through his veins for reason unknown to him. It seemed to be a stone-walled basement, with stairs leading to the next ground floor. It was furniture-less. He struggled to catch his breath as he glanced down at himself. He was wearing a pair of dark jeans and some sneakers. However, he lacked a shirt. A trail of dried blood covered his skin, leading up to his neck. A couple of garbage bags lined the back of the room. He gasped and began crawling backward on his palms when he noticed the puddle of blood he had been laying in. Where the hell was he and what had happened to him? He couldn't quite remember coherently. Last he remembered, he was out to dinner with some friends.

He couldn't figure out what had happened no matter how he much he dug through his memories. It was all really blur and non-comprehensive. "Oh God..."He whispered as he struggled to get this feet. He had never felt so weak and light-headed before in his life. He immediately fell back to the floor upon getting up on his toes and laid there, head pounding. The creaking of old wood panels filled the silent air and made Zane stiffen. He slowly slid his gaze toward the staircase.

A man had stopped half-way down the stairs to stare at him. "Holy shit. You're alive."
He continued the stairs and leaned on his knees to bend over and stare at him more closely, amusement and curiosity twinkling in his eyes. "I never thought it would happen to me. How fascinating... Those eyes are something."

"Wha-?" Zane asked drowsily. He rubbed his eyes and sat up on his palms. "What are you saying? Where am I?"

"You're in my basement. You were my supper tonight but I guess I missed a drop. Very rarely does this ever result in this though..." The blonde eyed him closely, tilting his head. He finally smirked at the confused expression Zane held. "Call me Micah. I'm what you would call a vampire. You had the unfortunate luck of being my meal tonight. You died and even more unfortunately for you, you're one of us now."

"You're insane." Zane scampered to his feet, staring at him with wild eyes. This guy had to be the craziest guy he had ever met. His gaze searched back and forth across the room and he sped over to the bathroom faster than he had anticipated he would. He didn't ponder it. Hastily, he began washing the blood off his body in the sink. "How do I get out of here?"

"Well. "Micah pointed to two wooden doors on the slanted ceiling, "You can leave if you want but I'm assuming you're going to be really hungry within the next hour. I can help you if you like."

"Thanks but no thanks."He hurried over to the wooden doors and began climbing up and out.

"Don't say I didn't warn you. "Micah said lowly.

The dark night consumed Zane as he emerged from the wooden basement doors. He threw his body into a run without looking back, his sneakers loudly mashing against wet grass and dirt. The soil was saturated with with rain water, every step causing a temporary puddle. His socks quickly became moist and heavy, puddles forming under his soles. He heaved in and out loudly as he ran harder than he ever had before. He finally felt hard concrete beneath his feet and skidded to a stop, nearly trembling. He turned and looked over his shoulder at the area behind him. Rain hit his face like hard crystals as it fell fast and hard toward the ground. So much of it was falling that his visibility was clouded. It seemed as if there was a really large house with a whole lot of grass in between itself and the street.

As the cold rain hit Zane with a determination, he began to wake up a tiny bit. Memories flashed by his eyes. Today there had been a new kid at school. His name had been Micah. Micah was the blonde boy who had just confronted him with the crazy nonsense. Micah had asked for tutoring to catch up and they went to Arby's. But then what...? Had Micah kidnapped him? A sudden burning sensation in his throat interrupted his thought process. Had he ate anything at all at the restaurant? He had never felt so hungry before in his life. A cool breeze made Zane shiver as he looked back and forth down the street. He was right by his house. Zane remembered passing this mansion now. It had its own little spot in the neighborhood, privately placed far from the rest of the houses and obscured by many trees. He had wondered a lot about it. However, not once had he heard about it being for sale. His stomach rumbled and famish stronger than ever before took over him. He needed food now. He thrust himself back into a run toward his house and barged right through the front door.

Wild eyes searched back and forth rapidly the dark home, finally locking on the fridge. He ran over to it and began rummaging through packages of food, stuffing anything he can find in his mouth. After a few moments, he slid to his knees and leaned against the cabinet of the dimly lit kitchen. His stomach felt fuller but the yearning was still there and it was even stronger. His throat burned worse and worse with each second that ticked by. He got to his feet slowly and began fixing himself a cup of water when the most sweet aroma ever reached his nostrils. He dropped the cup in the sink, an animal instinct taking over him. He rushed back out of the house and into the streets, the rain hitting him harder than before. The torrential downpour sounded like rocks rapidly hitting the ground but it did nothing to stop the air from smelling so sweet.

Cars in the street halted to a stop, screeching loudly as light brightly shone on him in the dark atmosphere. He had to have it.
Where is it ? Where is it? WHERE IS IT!?!?

He took a sharp right turn into an alley and another turn only to halt in his footsteps.
There was a young woman hunched over a limp, bloody body. She looked up at him with the most frightening eyes Zane had ever seen. They were completely black with bright red irises that had small lines that outstretched from the iris to the corners of the eye. He let out a shaky exhale in fear, stepping backward. "I was enticed by the scent of a corpse... "He whispered to himself. He fell to his knees, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"What are you doing?"She stood up and glared at him. "Are you trying to steal my dinner?"

"N-N-No... I just..."Zane stammered, unsure what to say. He got back to his feet and stared with wide eyes as suddenly the woman's hands were around his throat. "I'm going to teach you a lesson bub. Did you think you could hunt on my feeding grounds and get away with it?" Her fist was a blur as sudden agony rippled through his body over and over again. She was punching him hard and fast to the point he could barely comprehend the movements. She stopped and grabbed his throat with both hands tightly, squeezing his throat. This was it. He was going to die this way.




Skylar

__________________________________________________________________________

"Where you think you're going goldilocks?"
Skylar had been making her way to sit with the others and watch the fetuses make their way into school. She had no idea why anyone gave a damn about it but she knew better than to disobey. However, arriving on time was a different story. Her layered blonde hair fell a couple inches past her shoulder and she wore no make up beside her eye make up. Skylar never felt like she had to try for anyone but apparently she was good-looking just like this to some people. Some superior liked to dress super hard-core in order to pose a threat without even speaking but Skylar stuck to some jeans, boots and a tank top.

Skylar turned, her leather boots crunching lightly against the dirt as she turned to glance at the speaker, lowering her shadess to glare at him. "The fuck are you? Who gave you permission to exist?"

A couple of guys had emerged from the bushes. She recognized them from being in the superior but she knew they were not from their group. "We were told you that our master wants to see you immediately. You owe him a conversation or two." One of them spoke up, moving forward threateningly.

"I don't owe anyone jack shit."Skylar snapped in annoyance. "God, at least you guys are giving me an excuse to be late." She didn't flinch when the one who spoke took out a gun and pointed at her.

"Don't act stupid, girl. We know you're not even superior blood. You're just another kid the superior decided to kidnap. You're not as strong as the rest of them. Us three can-"

Skylar raised her hand to him and smiled. She watched the speaker stumble as a sudden loss of energy washed over him. He would have probably collapsed if she hadn't taken the opportunity to twist her body around and kick him hard in the face, knocking him out. She elbowed another in the face and then punched him in the gut. No one could ever say that the girl didn't know how to fight.

She turned to glance at the final guy, smirking. He was stepping backward unsurely. "Tell your leader that the girl you were supposed to get kicked your asses and if he sends any more dipshits like you, I won't be as merciful as I was this time." She grabbed his scruff and shoved him forward a bit, laughing in his face. Spinning on her heels, she made her way to through the trees to join the others. Swiftly, she climbed up and took a seat on a branch next to Torie. "Sorry. Ran into some traffic."She said lightly with a smirk.

She watched as Felix climbed down from a higher branch to sit next to Faith. He smiled faintly at her and greeted her. This was probably more than Felix really did for anyone. He was definitely a hard book to read. Skylar, however, was good enough friends with him to know that he was in love with Faith and had a secret despise for the other superior.

Alexander

__________________________________________________________________________

Alexander had made his way up to the bulletin board with Shay and Emma. "Let's see the list of daily tortures we have to endure this year."He said dryly, moving to angle his body to protect the two girls from the obnoxious crowd. He had no idea why everyone was pushing and shoving just to see a stupid class schedule.

Do you see that guy by Ari, Alex? He’s HUGE! In muscle! Shay's thought rang through his mind and he looked around, craning his neck to try and see who she was talking about. It wasn't hard to pick out who she meant. There was a huge-ass dude chilling with Riley and Ariana. He had a buzz-cut and wore a white-tank that showed off his over-sized biceps. Piercing eyes looked back at him as the guy caught his gaze and Alex quickly moved his gaze back to Shay.

Don’t worry, you’re much hotter, babe. Love you.

Alex kissed her hair and smirked down at her, "I would hope so. That guy looks like he's on every steroid imaginable. I wonder what Riley and Ariana are doing with a dude like that. It seems like Riley's got a whole group of new kids or something."

He got his schedule and Emma's schedule after Shay did and took a photo of it on his cell phone. He began examining it as he moved out of the crowd, moving Emma along.

Second: AP Calculus
Third: Gym
Fourth-fifth: Power training
Sixth: Lunch
Seventh: Advanced Fencing
Eighth: AP English
Ninth: Advanced Martial Arts
Tenth: AP Government
Eleven: Self-Defense/Combat
Twelfth: AP French

Roommate: Lindon Brown, room 217


"Kill me."Alex moaned, hanging his head back. He sighed and looked at Shay for a moment before yelling, "ALCINA!"

Alcina emerged from the crowd a moment later, holding a paper-copy. She joined Alex and Shay, "I'm guessing you guys got hard schedules." He noticed every couple seconds she kept glancing at Ariana and the group of boys.

"Yeah. Look at mine!" He cried frustratedly, showing her.

"Well I'm in AP Calculus and AP English with you. "Alcina said, "We can work together okay? No worries!" She gave him a encouraging smile and patted his shoulder.

"Thanks Aly. I just hope I can do this... Let's see your schedule."
Alcina's schedule ended up seeming a bit tough as well. He wondered if she already took most of the APs in the school yet because she was actually taking a fun class this year. "I should have took cooking." He said jealously.

First: Animal Behavior
Second: AP Calculus
Third: AP Biology
Fourth-fifth: Power training
Sixth: Lunch
Seventh: Advanced Archery-> Teaching
Eighth: AP English
Ninth: Advanced Martial Arts
Tenth: Orchestra
Eleven: Self-Defense/Combat

Roommate: Ariana Rivers, room 214


"So, errr... Aly. Who are all those big dudes Riley's hanging out with?"

Alcina folded her arms, "I have no clue. I've never seen any of them here before. They're all new kids apparently. I think I'm going to walk over and make sure Ariana's okay before we go inside to check into our rooms. "

"I'll come with you. "Alex offered and looked at Shay. "You in?"
He then remembered Emma and looked at her. "Go to James and Rose. We'll come get you in a minute."

"Okie dokie!"Emma went bounding up to the couple.

Rosaline

__________________________________________________________________________

"Jason... How are you?"
Rosaline followed James gaze to find Jason approaching the two of them. She grinned and went running up to hug him, "Jaaaacee!"

Jason laughed and hugged Rose back, "Hey blondie. Have a good summer?" He set her down, ruffling her hair. "I'm amazing as always, thanks James how are you-" He suddenly stopped speaking and tensed. James had froze up too. Rosaline wondered why they were so freaked out. She once again followed James' line of sight and found herself looking at Riley. Riley and Ariana were hanging out with a group of guys she didn't quite recognize. They must have meant trouble because the twins seemed to definitely recognize them.

"God damn it. Yeah I see them."Jason said when James nudged him. "What the hell are they even doing here? Did they fucking enroll or something?"

"Okay wait who are they? What beef do you guys have with them?"Rose asked. She knew she could be quite nosy sometimes but if they thought they were going to react like this and expect her to stand there oblivious, they were crazy.

James finally spoke to her, grabbing her waist and pulling her close to his side as he did. Normally she did not mind this action. She always felt so safe feeling his warmth against her body. “Stay close to me, Rose “ He had said.

Rose leaned into him out of force of habit. She glanced up at him, "Okay. No problem with that but what the heck is going on?"
He never really got around to answering. The crowd ended up pushing them along to get their schedules. She found she didn't really care about her schedule right now. James looked truly afraid and it was freaking her out. She could see the sweat gleaming off his forehead in the sunlight. She tried to hug him comfortingly and ended up feeling his heart racing against his chest as she did."James..."She drew off nervously. He still said nothing up until the point he finally received his schedule. He had withdrew in order to go get it. Rose hastily got hers as well but hadn't opened the envelope to really look at it. He was at her side the moment she had moved out of the crowd.

James pulled her back to his side and gave a sad attempt at forcing a smile. On the other hand, maybe she just knew him too well at this point for him to try to fake anything with her. “What’s your schedule, Rosie?” He asked and kissed her forehead. She couldn't help but blush whenever he kissed her. He tried his luck with another smile but Rose knew better. He had hugged her to him again and she could once again feel his heart hammering.

"I love you." James had finally said quietly after a long silence.

"James I love you too but I know you. Those guys really spooked you and I want to know why. "Rose said stubbornly. "Did they ever hurt you? Are they here to bother you?"

Jason rejoined before he could answer and as did Emma. Emma had skipped over. "Alex said to stay with you guys!"

"Hey kiddo!"Jason greeted her, "First day of school exciting?"
Emma nodded, "Yeah! I can't wait!"

Rose tuned out the rest of their conversation as she was distracted by Alex, Alcina and Shay approaching the group of dudes James had just freaked out over. That was when she noticed Riley and Ariana were with them. "Oh geez."She whispered. She wasn't sure what happened exactly but Alex had suddenly dragged Riley to the side roughly. It was so unlike him to treat anyone with anything other than kindness. She wondered if he had said something about Shay.

Riley

__________________________________________________________________________

"Wow Ariana! We have the same classes!" Riley showed Ariana his schedule. It was EXACTLY the same just as Riley had demanded. He hadn't been trying to be a stalker. He had only wanted to be there to protect her. He had a single with no room mate so Ariana could come in any time she wanted. "We're going to have so much fun together!"

"Yeah. Totally."Lindon said with a slight grin, chuckling.

"So this is the pipsqueak you talk about."Louis joined and folded his arms. He eyed Ariana up and down. "She's a bit too innocent looking to my taste. Pretty though." He tilted his head. Riley knew he was probably comparing her to Shay who was a bit more of a biker chick. Louis was creepily obsessed with her. In fact, a lot of these guys got creepily obsessed and he wasn't so sure he liked them but he had to hang with them. They were ensuring him a spot in the superior. Most would think that it was a horrible idea to join the superior but they were so strong and powerful.

For years, guardians had been training to try to get on their level. The only way to become as strong and powerful as them was to become one of them. Knowing Ariana's relation to Damien, he knew she'd play a big role in the future. A war was coming and it would have no mercy. He needed to be strong to protect her from it. He had seen what the superior could do to people and there was no way he was ever letting anyone hurt her.

"Uh no one asked for your opinion and of course she's pretty. She's absolutely gorgeous. " Riley retorted and hugged Ariana to him.

That's when Alcina showed up. He swallowed. Alcina was so pretty too. He was afraid one of them would take a liking to her. He wasn't so sure he could protect them both from these people.

"Hey, Riley..."Alcina said, glancing around at the group. She folded her arms uncomfortably. He wondered what the girl was going to have the guts to say. He knew she froze up in front of crowds.

"Hi Alcina."Riley greeted, "What can I do for you?"

Not to his surprise, Alex walked up behind Alcina a bit protectively. Alex and him had been friends for years and he knew firsthand that Alex could size up a bad situation when he saw one especially due to his mind-reading. He also knew he would do anything for his friends. He felt a bit better knowing at least Alex wouldn't forget Alcina despite his devotion to Shay and he would make sure Alcina was protected as well when things got bad. Not that Alcina and Shay couldn't protect themselves. He just knew they wouldn't be able to handle what's going to come on their own. They needed to have each others' backs.

Riley watched as Alcina and Alex looked at each other, probably exchanging thoughts. She finally looked at Riley and said, "I just wanted to borrow my sister for a moment. I would like to discuss our schedules."

"Oh, sure."Riley untangled his arm from Ariana and swallowed. Louis was staring at Shay so intently. It seemed as if the piercing gaze would actually make holes in her skull. Alexander's expression changed super quickly and his eyes seemed to fill with flames as if in a cartoon. He turned his head to glare at Louis, clenching his fists. Not a moment later did Alex grab Riley's arm a bit roughly and drag him to the side. Riley could imagine what Louis must have been thinking to make Alex act like this.

"Who the fuck are these guys, Riley?" Alex whisper-hissed. "They're fucking freaks. I don't care if you think you're friends with them. They're not good people. Why on earth would you be-"

Riley covered Alex's mouth. He had to shut up before Louis or someone heard him. He knew with their anger problems they would turn and start a fight with Alex. "I know they're kinda weird but just trust me. I'm hanging with them for a reason-"

"You really think they're going to help you protect Ariana? From what even?"Alex demanded, "I think one of them has coke in his pocket I'm not entirely sure-"

"Look Alex just trust me okay? You know me. "Riley carefully filtered his thoughts, "We've been friends for years you know me."

"I really don't trust you right now because I thought you knew better to hang out with people like this. Do they even treat you well?"Alex asked. Riley could imagine steam coming out of his ears. He wondered how much willpower it was taking him not to approach Louis. Unfortunately, he was getting the heat instead.

"Y-Yeah they treat me fine. They won't hurt anyone don't worry. "Riley told him. His voice hadn't sounded as sure as he had willed it to. They were pretty brutal to him because they didn't see him as one of their own yet.

"Whatever man. If we've been friends for years, you should be able to tell me the truth. "Alex said, rolling his eyes. "Keep that Louis kid away from Shay or I might end up in jail for murder."Alex suddenly snapped. He turned and went to make his way quickly back to Shay and Alcina.

"Wait, Alex. Let's shoot some hoops after school, okay? I'll tell you more then."Riley tried. He hadn't known Louis was going to start thinking some perverted shit or whatever he did. Now Alex was going to be mad at him for days...Maybe even weeks. Alex wasn't someone that got mad too easily but when it came to Shay... He would forgive nothing.

"I don't know. Maybe."Alex grumbled in response, not turning back to look at him.

Jason

__________________________________________________________________________

"Now, now... Boys. Can't we just talk this out?"

Jason knew he could just roast them like the pigs they were but he had gotten in trouble almost three times last year for starting forest fires.
He pulled out his wallet and quickly pulled out a ten dollar bill. "Look. I can start you guys with this and you can split this for some ice cream or something then I'll get on paying you the rest back."

Three thugs were surrounding Jason in a triangular formation at this point. They were all a lot bigger than Jason and wore ski-masks. They were in all black. They had lured him out into the trees not too long ago. They looked at him incredulously and then at each other. "Is this guy for real?"One of them asked

"Yeah. I've heard often that the youngest son of the big scary Salvatores was actually the stupidest." The other one told him with a laugh. He glanced at Jason finally, "Kid. You owe us each one thousand."

"No way. He's owed me a thousand for a good year now. That shit gained interest." The third joined.

"Well. I don't have it on me right now. "Jason said. "But I can show you the best abs you've ever seen in your life and that shou-" He watched them all suddenly collapse. They hit the ground with a thud, unmoving. He turned on his feet in a circle, staring at each of them. "Ha."He said with a smirk. "Fuck you."

A sigh made him turn back towards the depths of the forest. A tall blonde emerged, her hair in a curly pony tail. She had on a leather jacket over a red tank and jeans. She was wearing heeled boots as she always did. "God damn it Jason. I was about to run in here and kick their asses for you. How do you get yourselves in these situations?"

Jason winked at her, "I get myself in them just so you'll come to save me, baby." That gained the response of an eye roll from her. "Oh come on, Jess. I had it under control. I mean, check it out... They all passed out in fear."

"Sure, they did."Jessamine said and grabbed him by the sleeve of his jacket, yanking him along toward the school. "Just for once, stay in school. You don't have to be Cameron." Despite his random attempts at flirting, Jason knew he was like a brother to Jessamine. They had been friends for years since Cameron kicked him to the curb. She always tried to set him straight which Jason, though he appreciated, thought was pointless.

"I'm nothing like Cameron."Jason said defensively, anger filling his tone.

"You're his mini me, Jason. I know it's not your fault but take your life seriously. People care about you and you put yourself in so much danger. I'm still trying to work out issues with all the enemies you made." Jessamine said, stopping him. "You have your brother back. You have Rose, you have Shay and Alex and Alcina... I can keep going Jason. They'd all be so heartbroken if they lost you. "She took his shoulders, turning him to look right at his brother. "James is scared, Jason. Can't you see it in his eyes? He can't do this without you. Stop 'borrowing' money from people and let me deal with them. "

Jason stared at James, swallowing. She was right. James always seemed on edge now. He knew he had good reason to. The superior were getting relentless and the two of them were bright red targets. The difference between them was that Jason was better at keeping himself distracted from reality. He didn't mean to get into so much drama even though he personally found it fun sometimes. It was just the way he remembered Cameron getting money when he needed it. "Fine, yeah. I'll try to avoid it. I don't ask for people to come threaten me, alright? "

"That's a good boy!"She grinned, giving him a hug. "Now I know you could totally have any girl in the school if you wanted. Who's the lucky lady this year?"

He shrugged. He had dated so many girls he forgot. Hooking up with them was fun and they were often cute but he never felt much of anything for them. It just always seemed like they just liked him for his looks. They were never interesting to him. "That's a mystery, my dear." Jason said to her, "What's up with your prince?" He wiggled his eyebrows as he asked.

"Oh well, nothing new."Jessamine said and pushed him toward the crowd at school. "Go on and stay there this time."

Riley

__________________________________________________________________________
Hey I'm by the fountain at fern. R u here yet?

The moment Riley received that text, he dropped the conversation he was having with his friends immediately. He went sprinting toward the fountain and threw his arms around the beautiful girl waiting there. "There's my girl!"He exclaimed, swinging her around by her waist. "God did I miss you!" He set her down, staring at her. He had never seen anyone more beautiful in his life and he loved her so much. He cupped her face, smiling. "How was your summer, princess? I know mine kinda sucked without you there. "

Everyone pretty much loved Riley. He was that super friendly kid who never got mad or said anything rude. However, he was gullible and naive. He had been hanging out with a new crowd this year and never even noticed how opposite they were to him. "You gotta meet my new friends, Ariana. You're going to love them."He wrapped an arm around her as a group of boys came over. They were all quite buff and none of them had a happy expression on their face. "This is Lindon."

A tall, red-haired boy with a pout on his face waved without much enthusiasm. "Sup."

"The huge guy that's walking around is Louis and then this is Bob, Jeff, Dylan and Megan."

Rose

__________________________________________________________________________

"Yo! Over here, Rose, James!"
Rose looked in the direction of her best friend's voice and laughed when she saw her waving her arms around. "Look at that dingo."

"Aww, I'm sorry, Rose. I'm here for you. I'll help you stop them." He hugged her close and kissed her cheek. "I'll make sure to keep a mind shield on you, ok? I love you."

Rose hugged him back, squeezing him gently. "Aw no worries Jamesy. Can't really mind shield me from my own kooky mind now can you?" James tended to act like there were people going to attack them sometimes. She always wondered if it had to do with the past he kept hidden from all of them. She remembered finding him as a scared, young boy alone in the snow that day and knew she was right.


"HEY!" came Shay's yelling, "Don't ignore me, cinnamon!"

"Hold your horses, BEYOTCH!"Rose called and looked at James.

"I think we should go before she loses her shit." Rose had to agree with that one. She took his hand back and began yanking him over. She tackle-hugged Shay immediately. She and Shay had been best friends for years now. "You couldn't just let me and James finish a conversation now could you?" SHe smirked.

"Shit, it's been ten minutes and you're all over each other already? God,"Shay jokingly said and Rose stuck her tongue out, teasing back, "Oh please I saw you and Alex!"

"I'm kidding, you know me. Missed you two so much! All of you! We just need Jason now." She looked down at Emma and grinned. "Look at you, being a little big shot, hanging out with the big kids."

Emma smiled shyly and shrugged at Shay while Rose bent down to her. "Oh my God, Emma you're here!"Rose exclaimed excitedly. "It's your first time here, huh? That's awesome!" She high-fived her.
"We gotta show you around! You're going to love the ice cream stand."

"Ice cream?"Emma repeated, smiling.

"You betcha!"Rose smirked and straightened up on her feet to take James hand again.


Cameron

__________________________________________________________________________

"Well, well, well. I haven't seen you since your party boy days."

Cameron had been standing on roof of one of the buildings of Fernwood Academy. In particular, it was the dormitory that had the greenhouse on the roof. His arms were folded over the ledge as he gazed over it, watching the students pile up in front of the school.

He whirled around, curious to who the owner of the voice was. "Ah. Xander."He smirked, raising a flask that he had in one hand, "Want some?"

Xander joined him, taking the flask and taking a gulp. He passed it back to him, folding his arms over the ledge too. "What are you doing?"

"Just standing here. Quite hard to see that, eh? "Cameron asked, "I thought you were more observant than that."

"I mean in general, idiot. Are you part of the superior or not?"Xander punched his arm lightly.

He shrugged, laughing without humor. "Who knows. It's a mystery to everyone."

"A mystery that could very well get you killed."

"But isn't that more fun?" Cameron angled his body a bit to look at him. "You were sent here to kill me weren't you?"

Xander nodded, not looking at him. "Yeah. Ever since Veronica you haven't shown up to one meeting. And you know what, man? We're not completely unreasonable even though we were all told to remain emotionless and don't fall in love with people. Of course that's what you fucking go and do. Nonetheless, they let you go off drinking and gambling and whatever low-life thing you decided to get yourself into-"

Cameron punched him so hard that Xander went stumbling back several feet. He made eye contact with Xander, not speaking for a good thirty seconds. He turned away, folding his arms over the ledge again. "You know very well to never say that name to me. I haven't been doing that shit anymore. The superior give me something to do and I do it. I don't know what else they fucking want. "

Xander wiped blood off his mouth, composing himself. "It's not enough Xander. Your emotions are wild and you're unpredictable. Your true allegiance is with yourself and they don't like that."

"So what are you asking for, Xander? I know you're here to ask for something in return for my life."Cameron replied dryly.

"I want you to introduce me to your sister."

Cameron let out a incredulous laugh, "Pfft. My sister would hate you. Why do you need me to introduce her to you?"

"Because if she thinks you trust me, she'll trust me. Now do you wanna live or not?"

"Who says I won't kill you instead if you try to kill me."Cameron retorted. "Maybe I don't want a stupid fuck like you near my sister."

"Because you're not the only one who I was told to kill, Cameron." He moved to the roof and gestured toward an wooded area. Jason was with three thugs, seemingly just talking. "He owed these thugs money so I let them in on his location. Don't try to tell me you don't care about him because I know you do."

Cameron sighed, "Fine. Whatever. I'll introduce you to her tonight."

"No. Now."Xander demanded.

"Kill the thugs then." Cameron said.

Xander looked over the side, his trench coat billowing in the wind. His vibrant eyes focused on the men and they suddenly collapsed on the ground. Jason was looking around in confusion as this point. He turned back to Cameron. "There you go."

"Great. Now do you want to be introduced as useless bastard or shit-eating manwhore?"

Rosaline

__________________________________________________________________________

Rose adjusted the strap of her pink cat backpack and watched her mother drive away. Once she was gone, she turned to James to respond to his question. She found no matter how stupid it was, she could not lie to him. Even if she tried, she was sure he'd be able to tell. They had spent so much time together that they knew each other more than they knew themselves. "I had some intense nightmares."She admitted, "I just couldn't go back to sleep after I woke up. I didn't know my mind could conjure up things like that." She sighed. Rose paused a moment, checking his expression. She quickly smiled at him and took his hand, swinging it back and forth. "No matter. Dreams are dreams. Reality's more important. Are you excited to see everyone?"

Alexander

__________________________________________________________________________

"AP classes as well. I think the class director was drunk when he took in my application."

Alex chuckled at her reply, "Honestly. Me too. I haven't been taking school too seriously in recent years but I guess this is a chance for us to fix that. " He scratched his head on her Alcina remark "Her level? Maybe you, but never me. I'm going to be banging on her door begging her for help every night. "

"Did I hear you two are taking AP classes?"

Alex glanced over his shoulder to see Alcina standing not too far from them, holding a tote bag with both of her hands in front of her. She was dressed in her usual casual chic attire with a plain tank, jean jacket and skirt along with some flats. Her hair was a lot longer than he remembered, reaching past her belly button. "Hey Aly!"He said cheerfully, beaming at her. "We missed you." He had known Alcina and her sister Ariana for a super long time. They had a small group of friends which included the twins, himself, Shay, Rose, Jason and now since last year, James. Though good friends with Ariana, she often went off with Riley often and he tended to stay with his group of friends which Ariana had found a place in.

She came over and hugged Shay and Alex, then Emma. "Hey sweetheart. First day at school huh? Nervous?"She asked warmly.

"A little bit."Emma admitted, "I'm worried I won't know anyone."

"No one does the first day. It's okay. You'll make friends easily. I promise."Alcina rubbed her shoulder and looked at Shay and Alex. "I'm so proud of you guys for taking AP classes. You're both going to do really good. If we're taking the same ones, we can do a study group together."

"Oh please God let that be true. I need you Aly I'm so screwed."Alex told her, laughing. "I'm too dumb for this. My parents are making me take them."

She sighed, "You're not dumb, sweetie. You'll be fine."

"Thanks, Aly. I hope so. Where's Ariana?"

"When we got out of my aunt's car, she went off to find Riley. "



Five years ago


It had been only a few hours after Angel had witnessed the brutal murder of her family. The sound of an engine and vibrations of a moving vehicle had finally stirred her out of the darkness of her slumber. The little girl was pressed against the corner of the truck, her red hair the only thing that managed to stick out against the wrath of the darkness. It was so dim but Angel could barely make out of her surroundings. They were in in the back storage of a truck. It was a rather large and empty rectangular space with no windows. People were huddled everywhere against the wall like rats. Angel could make out a range of heights and ages amongst them, guessing that meant there were a lot of different ages. She had glanced down feeling someone pressed against her. There was small mass hugging her body. In her fear and misery, she could only hug the child back. They were in the truck for hours on end, all huddled against each other, waiting for the unknown. It had been quiet except for random crying and sobbing. That was until a voice filled the loudspeaker.

"Humans. You are now under our control and any attempt to flee or revolt will result in your untimely deaths. "

The back latch was opened rather viciously suddenly, light irritatingly finally bursting into the truck. Angel cringed, covering her eyes before glancing down at who had been hugging her. It had been a little girl with brown hair. She glanced around at the others. Most of them looked like homeless people in lots of layers and rags. There were men with scruffy beards and woman in too many scarves. Then near Angel were a few children just like her. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary about them. Hooded figures approached the truck and pulled each one of them out of the back. They were all lined up on the concrete road. To her surprise she found herself looking up at tall buildings and bright lights. It reminded her of what she expected New York City to look like. However, there was not a soul in sight. Cars were empty and scattered across the road and the city was eerily quiet.

"We have long taken possession of this city as a stronghold. It is a small one so therefore it was easy. Most inhabitants are long dead so don't go looking. Once we take our sampling, you will be given an apartment to live in with several other humans. Our guards will come to get you and take you to give blood. Every few days this will be a necessary process and you are expected to cooperate. Leaving will be near impossible. "A very tall woman was speaking, her voice monotone and her face shrouded by her black cloak. "You see, this city is surrounded by very large, stone walls built long ago at the time of this city's capture. Our forces guard these walls and with advanced technology way beyond those of a human, we are able to completely obscure this city to outsiders. It appears as if nothing but large, abandoned factories exist here which are rumored to humans to be radioactive. No one ever comes anywhere near here. No one is coming to save you. This is your life now." The woman paced, examining their eyes as she spoke. "You must be thinking... What is this life you speak of? What are you and why me?" Amusement crept into her voice as her cloak fell back just a tad, exposing her wicked grin. "Well. Consider yourselves our livestock. Despite common error, we are the top of the food chain and we've been feeding off you for years and years without public eye. I suppose you could term us 'vampires' as you all tend to. And why you? Because you don't matter to society. They won't dwindle on your disappearance for more than a few days. With no family to mourn you, there's no fuss over finding you. We have a laboratory here where we take hundreds of those who are useless to society like you-homeless, jobless, runaways, forgotten..."She drew off as a sob interrupted her. With an amused giggle, she bent down and stroked the hair of the little girl that had been hugging Angel as she burst into tears. "Now, now... If you behave we won't hurt you little one. Just be a good girl."

On instinct, Angel grabbed the little girl and pulled her away from her, her eyes lit with anger. The woman's eyes traveled to them. Now that the woman was looking down at them, she could see bright, cat-like yellow eyes staring back at her. "There's always one troublesome isn't there? I truly hope that it won't be you, pretty child." Angel swallowed as the cold voice spoke to her, biting back all the possible remarks running through her head. This wasn't a game. "Good girl."She praised when Angel did not speak. "Remember that you are nothing now."

You are nothing now.

"Nadia, Lord Lee wants them to arrive within the next ten minutes. We must make haste. Take the children and I'll take the adults." One of them reported to her. She nodded to him and waved her arm towards an alleyway. "This way, little pigs." The children all looked at each other before finally following the hooded people down a dirty alleyway. No one dared speak. Angel couldn't begin to comprehend what was happening. The little girl was back at her side and clinging to her arm as they walked. She didn't know how to comfort her. It really looked like they were doomed to be stuck here. Was this crazy lady really telling the truth about them being vampires? Angel's heart had never beated against her rib cage this hard and fast before in her life. It was pounding in her ear like a drum. She wasn't sure she could even properly breathe. It almost paused in its beating for a moment as she realized that she would never see her family again. Tears rapidly filled her eyes and began to spill down her cheeks. She covered her mouth to silence herself as a sob shook her.

A gated, enormous mansion soon resided in the front of their vision. Angel had never seen any house so big her life. It must have had at least four floors. What a beautiful mansion was doing in a city like this was beyond her imagination. She stared up at it, admiring it's big windows and its eerie aura. "Get in line!" A voice soon broke her reverie. Hands fell on her shoulders and she was placed in the back of the line of other kids. She got on her tippy toes to crane her neck and look at the front of the line. A man had been seated in the indoor complex by the gate with a window much like a ticket window at a movie theatre. He was demanding their names and putting them in a computer. When it got to her turn, Angel could hear herself utter her own name but she wasn't very conscious of the action. This all felt so dream-like. All she could do was stare back at the bright eyes that bore into her as he recorded it.

The next few hours were a blur to Angel. She knew they had been given some sort of drugs because all the memories were so hazy. She remembered a huge room with hundreds of people laid on platforms. All of them had black chokers on their necks and tubes were being connected to them that were connected to quite an amount of machinery. The tubes lead through indentations in the floor and to somewhere else. It all looked like a laboratory scene out of a movie. She wasn't even one hundred percent sure that these memories were valid. She recalled staring up at the ceiling, laying around like the rest of them as a sharp pain filled her neck. She had never felt so light-headed and dizzy during that moment as someone tried to comfort her. "It's almost done... It'll be over soon..." A voice had said in her ear.

When Angel found herself fully aware again, she was being guided by another girl her age over a bridge. According to her, days had passed and she had been one of the children to sleep the longest. She introduced herself as Amelia. They were living in a nearby two-room apartment with six other people. One other girl was a young child but the rest adults.

____________________________

APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR LATER




Angel could only wail as she found herself running through darkness. She screamed and wailed like never before. They echoed through the narrow, stone tunnel as she plunged herself into its darkness. It wasn't long before she found herself going head first into a pile of snow. She lifted her body from its icy embrace, shivering and looking around wildly at her surroundings. Angel had never seen so many trees. They were taller than any tree she had seen before. Knee-deep snow stretched out for what seemed like miles. She looked up at the dark, foreboding sky. The thick clouds covered each inch of the sky like a grey blanket, bearing down on the white landscape. Milky-white flakes descended gently from above, alighting on Angel's face softer than the kisses her mother used to bestow on her cheeks. For a moment, Angel allowed herself to dwell on how beautiful the atmosphere was. Then, reality sunk in as painful numbness swept over her limbs. It was very possible she'd die out here if there was no close-by civilization. She was left vulnerable to the cold air's brutal and unforgiving embrace in her thin clothes.

The constant tears that kept forming and blurring her vision were no help either. She got to her feet, sniffling. She looked over her shoulder at what was behind her. It was just a cave seemingly. "Oh God..." She whispered to herself, hugging her bare arms. They were all gone. Forever. Myna.. Amelia. She started to sob brokenheartedly again as she found some will to start moving forward. Where did she go now? With each step, it seemed to just get colder and colder. The night air was wicking her body heat away faster than it could be replaced. Her lips were completely blue and her teeth had begun to chatter, filling the silence that had once surrounded her.

After some time, she collapsed hopelessly forward onto her palms and knees. The scenery didn't change no matter how far she walked. "Help me..."She whispered desperately, clenching her tiny fingers into the wet snow. "I'm so scared. I don't know what to do."

"Help me..." A voice mimicked. Angel's head shot up, her hair falling over in her face as she tried to make out who the figure coming toward her was. "I never expected to find my dinner out here." She could hear his big boots crunch the snow as he got closer. Angel let out a squeak as he took a fistful of the fabric of her shirt, picking her up into the air. "Nothing personal."

Angel shut her eyes. It didn't matter anymore. She had nothing to live for besides maybe seeing Derek one last time. She wanted to see everyone one last time and tell them all the things she had to say to them. Maybe she'd see them now. She opened her eyes to look at her killer. There was no mercy in his dead, red eyes. His skin was paler than anything she had ever seen. He licked his lips and parted his lips. Fangs jutted out over his bottom lip as he moved her head closer to his face. Her mother's screams filled her ears all over again as she peered out from under the bed, frozen with terror. Her sister's tiny, motionless body inches away from her, her red hair spilled across the carpet. Angel recalled she could reach out and touch it. For some reason, she had done just that only for her wrist to be grabbed. A person had bent down and looked under the bed with a terrifying face and bright red eyes. However, the figure was only to be startled by a noise a moment later. He had let go of her wrist and ran out of the room.

She let her eyes shut again. There was no way of fighting this. It was over. She was finally going to see everyone again. She'd see her mom's beautiful, cheeky grin and her father's warm eyes... Xander will beckon her and Kate over for a hug like he always used to. Kate would absolutely love to meet Amelia. She just knew it.

She was free now.

She waited for the sharp pain in her neck but it never came. She was so lost in her thoughts she hadn't noticed she wasn't being held up anymore. Had it been that quick and easy?

Angel opened her eyes to find herself sitting in the snow, the killer a few feet across from her. He was sprawled out in the snow, barely breathing. With further inspection, Angel saw that he had a wound in his back. The blood darkened his shirt and had begun to dry in the freezing air. A sword stabbed into the snow in front of her, making her fearfully cry out.

A man's voice reached her ears, "Kill it."

Glancing over her shoulder, Angel saw a tall man in a black parka, his face shrouded by the hood. She didn't speak as she slowly got to her feet, grabbing the sword by it's hilt. It came out of the snow with audibly. The blade was soaked in blood. The wind was picking up and her hair billowed out behind her. She found herself trudging over to the vampire, each step a crisp crunch against the snow. For a moment, she felt a glassy, cold detachment from reality. How could anything so evil exist? Vampires truly deserved to be nothing but the subject of supernatural stories. from him. It should had been easy to hate and kill the guy but it had suddenly become more difficult than ever. Her parents' faces flashed in her mind. There was nothing Angel wouldn't have given to see them or her siblings or even her orphan family. She didn't want to end this being's life, whether it was evil or not. She had only wanted one thing. She drove the sword into the ground near him, starting to cry. A sob shook her body as tears streamed down her cheeks, trickling on to the body below her. "I don't want to kill anyone! I just want my mom and dad back! "She fell to her knees, sobs racking her tiny body. They echoed through the forest, filling the silence. "I just want them back! I don't want to be alone!" She wailed. "I'm so scared."

He sighed, watching her sob for a moment. Finally, he came over, grabbing her arm. He dragged her to her feet and took the sword out of the ground. He stabbed the vampire hard, causing him to yell out. He went motionless a moment later. "My name's Evan." He told Angel as he began to lit a match. After throwing the lit match on the dead vampire, he scooped her up and began walking away, shhing her as she cried. "Everything's going to be okay now. " Angel couldn't find it in herself to calm down as she looked over this man's mysterious shoulder. The heat from the flames caressed her cheeks as it ate away at the corpse. It had lit up their surroundings with a warm, orange glow.
