her and she nodded. "Are you a-" "Vampire?" he finished off for me. "Oh my god! That`s a little weird. How long?" I asked him. "Not too long, over a year or so," he answered with a grin. I laughed. "Same!" We looked over to Em`s. "Does she know?" I whispered. He shook his head. "You?" I shook my head. "Let`s just keek this a secret, yeah?" he asked. I nodded. "That would be best, " I whispered. We nodded and walked to Em`s and then we did, the hard thing : dealing with my parents.

Chapter 9
We walked slowly, taking our time, deliberatly. No one wanted to know what was going to happen : except I already did. "Did you hear about that new family coming to our school? They`re supposed to be really weird, and...gothic, and stuff like that," Em`s told us. We nodded and I said, "Wow, like Veronica? She`s supposed to be really gothic, but I`ve never really talked to her. She doesn`t seem like a goth, though." Matt nodded in agreement. Em`s just shook her head. When we reached the house, I looked at them. "You`s coming in?" I asked politely. Matt looked at Em`s and they both walked forwards. "Yeah, course. Obviously," Em`s said as she stepped in the door. "Anybody home?" I shouted. "We`re in here," my mother shouted. I had longed for my family for a year and a half and I was finally home again. I got that feeling again and I stopped in my tracks. My stomach curled and I wanted to throw up but I stopped myself. I walked through the door and I knew Matt and Em`s were stairing at my back, wondering what was happening. I walked through the dining room and I knew the feeling I got was right. My mother and my brother looked up at us, and they had obviously been crying. I burst into tears. It felt good to cry, after a year and something. I remembered that I was right. It was true : the stranger, who I had killed, had killed people very close to me, people who I didn`t even get to say goodbye to. My sister and my father.

Chapter 10
I stopped crying and thought back to the old days : before vampires, Matt and everything. We were gathered around the coffee table, smiling at each other,eating. I shook my head and said, "I need to go up to my room." Em`s looked at me and whispered, " I need to go but I`ll phone my mum and tell her I`ll stay here." I nodded and I could hear her whispering to her mum. She was pleading but apparantly something was on. "I`m not allowed," Em`s moaned. "That`s fine," I replied. Matt looked up and told me he would stay with me. "Thanks," I whispered as Emily glared at me and Matt. She knew we were hiding something but we couldn`t tell her. It was too...risky. Em`s stormed out and me and Matt ran up to my room, leaving my upset half a family downstairs. We sat on my bed, just sitting there, soaking up the silence. When he had to leave, he went to hug me but I turned round to ask him a question and I hugged him in the bear-hug/boyfriend-girlfriend hugs. He gasped and said, "Sorry! I didn`t mean that, I went to hug you and you turned around..." he trailed off as I put my arms around his neck and hugged him. I hugged him and that shock thing happened again but I couldn`t help but keep hugging him. "So sorry, but I left my cardi..Oh my God!" she whispered. Em`s stood there and looked at us. We were standing in the middle of my room, hugging so I know what it might have looked like to her. She shook her head saying, "This can`t be happening," over and over again. "You don`t get it," I shouted. She glared at me. "I don`t get it? I don`t get it?" she shouted in my face. I don`t know what came over me but I wanted to bite her, not for the feeding, but for the joy of it. I snapped out of my killer ways and whispered, "You don`t understand." She looked at Matt, and he nodded. "Fine!" she shouted, spitting with fury. "Do tell." I looked at Matt and he shook his head. "Okay, this is how it happened : me and Matt like each other. That`s just the way it is. Do you remember in 5th grade, you went out with Billy even though we both liked him? Do you remember that? Well, this is like this : in a way," I snarled the truth at her, making her step back. She nodded, turned to walk away but added over her shoulder, "I`ll see you in school : tomorrow, 8:00, at the bus stop."She ran down the stairs and burst out crying. "Hey wait!" I shouted, picking up her cardigan which she had probally dropped in shock : but it was too late. I would have to wait for tomorrow, when she had calmed down. I kissed him and he said,"Meet me out here at 2:30 : I`ll be waiting.We...both need to go hunting." He grunted as he whacked the ground with a thud. I watched him run and I lay down on my bed : what had I done to poor Em`s?
Chapter 11
I creeped out my window when they were finally asleep. Matt was waiting there, sitting on a branch, looking like a guy from a movie, catching the girl as she jumps down. I landed on my knees, crouching. I got up, straightened my dress and caught his hand. We hunted all sorts of animals : making sure we didn`t kill them. When we reached my house, I hugged him and then went to jump on my window but Matt grabbed my arm and pulled me over to him. I twirled into his arms and he hugged me again and whispered, "I want to take you to meet my parents." I froze : yes, I had boyfriends before but I had never met their parents. I nodded. "Okay," I whispered in a shaky voice. "It`ll be fine," he replied, sensing my fear. I nodded and hugged him as I got in his car. He drove at a 100 miles : the police wouldn`t notice us as we drove past. I chuckled and Matt just looked at me. I shook my head and he focused on the road. "We`re nearly here!" he shouted. I looked at him, puzzled. "Why are you shouting : I`m right here." he grinned and replied, "I`m letting my parents know that we are coming." I nodded along with the faint thump of the bass from the song on the radio. "Oh right," I replied with a nod of the head. He chuckled and drove slower, turning. "We`re here," he said. I played with my fingers anxiously : knowing this he took one of them and held it, the other, pinned it to my side. I laughed and sighed. I looked forward and saw 3 heads at the door. It opened and out stood the 3 most beautiful people I had ever seen. His dad, browny hair just like Matt`s was spiked up, and his blue eyes were wide. His mother, a blond with brown eyes, looked at me with a smile. And his brother, was cute, like Matt, but I liked Matt better. The brothers blond hair was down at the front and gelled up at the back. He smiled at me in the kinda way...Matt smiled at me. "Everybody, this is Tanya Allishya Renaree," Matt said to his stunning family. I smiled and said, "Hey." His family walked over and told us to come in. After a cup of blood, I knew there names and I wouldn`t get mixed up. His mothers name was Helan, his fathers name was Micky,and his brothers name was, "Ryan," Matt said as he playfully punched his brother on the shoulder. He smiled at me and looked at Matt. Matt whacked his head and he groaned. "Leave her alone," Matt warned. I looked down and turned away. It couldn`t be both of them that liked me...or could it?
Chapter 12
Ryan came in at 3:00 in the morning. I was sitting up with Matt and Ryan had another girl in with him. I had to say, I was a little dissapointed that he had gotten over me that fast. But had he? Matt was asleep so I uncurled from him and sat him nicely. I pretended I was going to the bathroom and peeked in his room, but he wasn`t there. I felt someone breathing on my neck and I felt something sharp at it. I looked around and there he was, Ryan, luring me into his trap. I can`t believe it : I fell for it. It was just a trap to get me where he wanted me : with him. "What do you want," I growled. He chuckled. "You know what I-" he cut off with a scream. I jumped forward and saw Matt with a block of wood. He grinned and picked his brother off the floor, practically dragging him. There was no blood and I realised he wasn`t dead, sadly, he was knocked out. Matt put him in his own walk in cupboard and we bolted for the door. We got to the car and drove to my house where I got changed into my school uniform. I glanced at the alarm clock : it was 7:56! I ran down the stairs and ran to the bus-stop. Em`s was just walking to it when i suddenly appeared. She looked annoyed. "Sorry, i slept in," I said with a yawn. She glanced at her watch. "Oh right," she replied. "Sorry about yesterday, I didn`t mean it." I shook my head. "It was my fault," I said when Matt appeared and took my hand. She looked at us and said, "Thats fine." We waited for the bus.
Ryan wasn`t in school at all.
Chapter 13
Me and Matt murmered to each other as we walked in the cafeteria. "Is he awake - you should have a connection with him like I did with my..family," I whispered. He nodded and replied, "Yeah, but I don`t know if he`ll come." Just as he finished his sentence, in walked Ryan, wearing jeans and a t-shirt that was really, really tight. I shook my head and he sat down at our table, chatting with Em`s. "Oh no," I whispered. He just stood there, shaking his head, while saying, "You gotta be kidding me." I paused before saying, "I`ve got a good idea." Matt looked up and said, "What?" I smiled at him secretly. I raised my eyebrows and whispered in his ear. "Oh right!" he said. We smiled and walked to our seats, hand in hand. Ryan didn`t look up but the plan was in motion. I leaned forward and went to hug him. "No!" Ryan shouted as I was close enough to Matt to feel his breath on my face. I realised that it wasn`t Ryan and that it was Fredrick. He was staring at me and Matt in shock and he said again, "Are you`s two...?" We nodded and he whispered to himself, "Oh ,no." We ran from the cafeteria and ran home. We had a joint appartment that we had bought just 1 or 2 days ago and we settled in. We watched T.V. until we heard a knock on the door. I picked up Vampire Mountain and gasped when the book flew out of my hand. I went outside and Fredrick was there, holding his
