I can assure you he will be as fast as possible to return with a result.” The lad spoke, his voice shaking with nerves.
“Fine. Go and leave me in peace” ordered Sir Malice waving him away.
Sir Malice turned back to the mirror as the lad rushed out of the room.
...
“Charlie? Are you ready yet?” shouted Brad from the main room.
“Nearly” I shouted back as I adjusted my dress. I was in the bathroom, getting ready for my date with Brad. He was keen to go. He had been asking whether I was ready for the past ten minutes.
Finally I decided I’d kept him waiting long enough. I unlocked the door and headed out.
He was sat down on the sofa waiting for me. When he saw me his mouth opened wide. My response to the way he was dress was exactly the same. He was dressed in a shining white suit. He stood. I walked to him and kissed him.
“What do you think?” I asked taking a step back.
“There isn’t a word to describe how amazing you look” he replied with a smile.
“That’s odd, I was about to say the same thing to you” I said walking into his arms. He held me tight to him.
“Are you ready to go now?” he asked me, pulling back and leaving only one arm around my waist.
As we were about to leave the room he stopped me and said, “Wait for a second”
He rushed to the bed and pulled out one of my fashionable scarves. He came to me. He placed the scarf over my eyes.
“Not again” I moaned.
“What, don’t you trust me?” he laughed.
“Of course, I do” I replied as he tied it at the back.
“Then let’s go” he pulled me towards him so our stomachs were touching. He placed his hand on my right cheek and kissed me.
When he pulled back he lead me out of the room.
I couldn’t tell where I was heading. I tried to remember the way we had come but every now and again he would spin me on the spot, so I lost track after the first spin. He spun me three times in total, and then we were finally there.
He lead me into a room. I could feel a warm rush of air float over my body. Brad stood me on the spot and left me. I could hear him rustling around and then settling down.
“Alright, you can take it off now” said Brad.
I reached up and untied the scarf. I pulled it off and saw what was around me. It was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. We were in our special room. The garden room where we had our first date. The ceiling was the night sky. The sky was clear and the stars shone brightly. The tree and bushes were laced in beautiful orange lights, like Christmas tree lights. Just in front of me was a red blanket, surrounded by hundreds of candles. Knelt on it, directly in front of me, was Brad. He was knelt on one knee. In his hand he held a black box. A smile was plastered onto his face.
“Oh, Brad” I gasped at the sight of the box.
“Charlie, will you marry me?” He asked opening the box revealing a large diamond ring.
I hardly gave him the change to finished the last word, as I immediately screamed “Yes”
Brad took my left hand and slipped on the diamond ring. He stood and pulled me into a long and passionate kiss. He made my head spin as soon as his tongue interlocked with mine.
When he pulled back, neither of us could help but smile from ear to ear. He wrapped his arms around my waist keeping me pulled up against him. I slid my arms around his neck and lay my head down on his shoulder.
“I love you Brad” I Whispered to him.
“I love you Charlie” He whispered back.
Some music started to play. He took one of my hands and started to lead me into a dance. We danced for hours and hours until the door opened behind us. Gabby, Alison and Geska poked their head in.
“Sorry if we disturbed you, but we couldn’t wait anymore” said Gabby in a high squeal.
“Couldn’t wait for what?” I asked them.
I didn’t get an answer from them because Brad quickly lifted my left hand to show them the ring. They all screamed and rushed to me to give me a hug.
“You’re going to be Charlie Watkins” screamed Alison.
“I know” I screamed back.
Geska held up her hands to be lifted up. I picked her up and she immediately swung her arms around my neck and squeezed me tight.
“Congratulations” she screamed.
Later that night, I was lay in bed, as Brad had his evening wash. I was lay staring at the diamond ring. It was beautiful. It looked far too expensive. I heard the bathroom door open. Brad appeared around the screen. He climbed onto the bed, and on top of me. The only thing between us was the bed sheet.
“I love you” he whispered into my ear as he kissed it gently.
He slid off me and got into the bed next to me. As he lay back I snuggled up to him. He placed an arm under my waist and pulled me close.
“Good night” he whispered to me kissing me on the forehead.
“Good night” I whispered to him as my eyes dropped shut.

CHAPTER 3
THE UNDERWORLD
The next morning, I was the one to wake up Brad, I had sprung awake, not wanting to waste a minute. I wanted to show Mistress Halsente and Sir Mallot the ring. I literally ran out of the room with Brad trying to keep up with me. When he did catch up with me we were about half way there. He grabbed my arm to stop me but instead of saying anything he slammed his lips against mine. I back up against the wall taking him with me. My heart started to beat faster and I could feel my temperature raising. I scrunch my hands into fist taking handfuls of his top. I could feel his hands running up and down my sides, giving me goose bumps.
There was a cough.
I recognised that cough. Both me and Brad did. It was this cough that often broke up our kisses. We both turned to look at him. We unravelled ourselves and Brad took a step back.
Jeff was stood in front of us, his bag over his shoulder.
“Your back” I screamed as I quickly rushed to him to hug him.
“Yes, I am, and hopefully for a while” he replied as he pulled me off him.
“Guess what?” I screamed.
I waited for a reply but he smiled and waited for me to continue.
I continued “Brad proposed”
I held up my left hand, showing off the large diamond ring. Jeff took my hand and took a good look the ring. He looked to Brad and nodded with a smile. Brad nodded back. He had already been smiling from ear to ear. Jeff hugged me again and whispered “Congratulations, my little girl is all grown up”
“dad” I moaned trying to push him off me, but he wouldn’t budge.
“I don’t know if I’m ready to let you go off in the world yet” he said. He was purposely embarrassing me and I knew it. I’m pretty sure he knew that I knew but he continued anyway. Even Brad knew.
“Don’t worry, I’ll look after her” spoke up Brad, trying to save me.
Jeff finally let me go, he smiled and then replied “You better”
He twirled me around and then said “I better go. I’ve got to dump my bag and then go and teach a class”
“But you’ve only just got back” I replied “Aren’t you tired?”
“Don’t worry, Jeff, it’s the underworld cooperation day so you won’t be doing much” commented Brad as he placed his hand over my shoulder and pulled me close.
“I know. I’ll talk to you later kid” Jeff said as he started to walk off.
“Bye” both me and Brad echoed as he walked down the corridor.
Brad lowered his arm so it was wrapped around my waist as we started on our way to the school corridor. The school corridor was packed with students. After all the students had been told about the Vampire gig, they all perked up about the day. As we walked past, every pair of eyes in the corridor followed. I tried to ignore it the best I could.
“Are you ready to be beaten by the blue team?” Brad teased.
“No, cause it’s not going to happen” I replied laughing.
We stopped outside of our History lesson. Alison and Gabby had beaten us there. They were smiling and giggling to each other again but I wasn’t bothering to ask why today, I stayed stood in Brad’s arms. We just starred at each other, until he finally leaned in a kissed me. He ran his hands from my cheeks to the ends of my hair. He pulled me closer. I felt like we were the only ones in the corridor. I knew everybody was staring in our direction but I didn’t care. I was happy. When Brad pulled back we saw Mistress Halsente and Sir Mallot heading in our direction. Both of them smiled as they got closer. When they reached us they stopped but didn’t say anything. Sir Mallot was the first one to break the silence.
“Well, let’s have a look at the ring then” he said lifting my left hand so he could look at the diamond ring. “Beautiful. It suits”
“Thank you. How did you know he had proposed?” I asked him.
“Your giggling friends told us last night” replied Mistress Halsente as she inspected the ring.
“Anyway, good luck in your challenge today to the both of you” commented Sir Mallot “Your teams are waiting in the battle room.”
He didn’t have to say it, both me and Brad got the message. We were to go to them. We had a team of three each. My team, the red team, consisted of me, two Wiccans and one Warlocks. While Brad’s team, the blue team, consisted of two Warlocks and only one Wiccan. The hunters were stood in the corner, having the hunter emblem drawing in black on their cheeks. They decided between themselves to have a emblem on their cheeks to let people know they are the hunters. They can’t stop vampires until after dinner time but they still want the emblem on their cheeks. Each of the four hunters, carried two black pens each – just in case one ran out. The blue team carried two blue pens each. They drew three blue lines on their cheeks, including Brads. It was the same with the red team, except the red lines were slanted in the opposite direction to the blue’s.
I thought the different drawings on the cheeks looked better than I expected. I looked up at the clock. We had five minutes until the different activities would begin. I got my team together for a team meeting.
“Right, we need to beat the blues, anybody got an idea” I said.
“Focus mainly on the younger students, they seemed more keen on taking part. If three of us go to the beginner groups then the other two the intermediate.” Said one of the lads - Sam.
“My little sister is in Intermediate, so I know lots of the intermediate kids, so I’ll take Lucy to the intermediate” said the other lad - Callum.
“Good. So, the rest of us are on the beginners.” I said.
The bell went for first lesson. I walked
