to find Lilly and I finally found her. She was sitting on the swing 'h...hi sorry I'm late' I said out of breath

she smiled

'it's okay at first I was wondering if you had remembered but then I remembered that you're never on time for anything so I waited'

I laughed, yep she was right there 'yep that's me, little miss late' I joked

she smiled

'it's nice to see you again Ruth'

I smiled back 'yeah it's nice to see you to, it feels like forever since we last met. When was that?'

she gave it some thought and then he smile immediately faded

'what's the matter'

'Ruth that last time we talked-' she cut of and took a deep breath. Then the memory came flying back to me, the last time we spoke was when I got locked in that classroom with Carter. The day that she had got told off and locked in a classroom. I said nothing but by the look of her sad face she knew that remembered

she looked at me and sighed

'the last time we met was when I told our headteacher that you and Carter were fighting and that caused you to get locked in a classroom'

I thought about it and it just made me depressed, the thought and feeling that she never came to rescue me from that room during the fire came rushing back to me and I struggled not not to cry. 'the last thing you said to me was 'Sorry Ruth, I warned you not to go for Carter but you did, so in a way it's your fault,' after I had said that I looked at her face and she looked as sad as I did 'you grabbed one of my arms and helped our head teacher lock me and Carter in the room. The room that could of cost us our lives, you just left us, you didn't even come and save me from that fire' I said sadly

she started crying

'I'm so... sorry! I should have come for you when that fire started, I should have thought about you! I'M SO SORRY! I's been bugging me for ages, ever since the firemen rescued us and told us that they had got everyone that they knew was in the fire out. Ever since they said that they couldn't find anyone else. What's worse is that I didn't even text you,' she looked at me and started crying even more 'I thought you were dead, RUTH I'M SO SORRY!'

I looked at her and I started crying 'it's okay you have nothing to apologize for, it wasn't your fault that we got locked in that room, if you hadn't told someone would have. The room kind off worked though because I don't want to kill him now, he saved me. You feeling bad is nothing to be upset of, it just makes you human. You have nothing to feel bad for, I had it coming. You thought I was dead and so it wasn't your fault that you didn't contact me, to tell the truth I thought that you were dead as well.' I said trying to cheer her up, however I was still crying and so was she

'I tried to outgrow the memory but it didn't work so a few days before I texted you I decided to do what I've been wanting to do for months. I revisited the remains of the school,' she looked at me and stopped crying, her eyes were really red though 'however when I entered the village I got a shock, the whole place is in shreds, deserted.'

that part didn't surprise me because I already knew, I sighed 'I know'

she looked at me with shock 'how do you know'

I sighed, how am I going to explain this one? 'long story, let's just stick with the school for now'

she sighed

'okay fine but your explaining it to me later. I went to the remains of the school and I saw that the whole place was barricaded off, the police were investigating something'

oh well that was knew, I looked at her in shock 'what were the police investigating?'

she sighed

'they were looking for signs of what caused the fire in the first place. Also Lisa's body was found near the school and they are now finally investigating oh how she died'

I was shocked, I was really shocked, how did Lisa's body end up near the school when she died...then it hit me and I almost started crying and Lilly noticed

'what's the matter?'

'Lisa was murdered in the park and that's close to the school'

she sighed in realization

'don't worry Ruth they will find the person who murdered your sister, we will make sure of it'

I smiled at that

'Ruth how did you escape that school?'

I sighed, I knew that question would pop up sooner or later, I looked around to see if anyone was around us and when I knew for definite that there wasn't anyone around us I prepared myself to explain yet again. The problem was, did I really want another person finding out about vampires? I quickly made a snap decision and went with it 'the fire had spread and it had me cornered, I thought I was going to die so I screamed. Carter may have hated me but he didn't want me dead, the problem was how was he going to save me. Luckily I was cornered by a window, Carter had this idea that I smash the window because otherwise I would burn. He grabbed something and threw it to me, I then smashed the glass with it and I was able to escape. Then he had to find a way to escape, this is where I had an idea. My idea was to pull a table over near to the fire and jump for his life over the fire. My idea was risky but there was no other window and the door was locked so he did it and only just succeeded.' ugh what a stupid excuse, I would be surprised if a four year old even believed me let alone my fifteen year old best friend. She looked at me for a while

she almost laughed

'did I ever tell you how much of a BAD lyre you are' she joked

I shrugged, she had a point

'what actually happened?'

I sighed 'okay here it is but your not going to like it'

she looked at me for a while

'I don't care I'm your nest friend, I want to know the truth'

I sighed 'when I was twelve I was kidnapped by a group of boys. I was able to escape from them when I was thirteen but I had lived in America before and so I didn't know where I was. I then lived homeless where I became a robber and stole food and water to survive, this worked out well until I was caught and arrested. However they couldn't keep me there because of my age so I was given to a willing lady, that lady is Vicky, the lady I call mum.'

she looked at me in shock

'seriously! How come you never told me any of this?'

okay that was expected 'I'm not finished, I'll explain after. They came looking for me the day the school caught on fire and that's why the school caught fire, because they somehow found out where I was. They set the school on fire.'

'so there's a traitor lurking around somewhere?'

that actually was quite a good point, I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of that earlier 'you know that's actually quite a good point, maybe there is a traitor lurking around somewhere. Mark my words though when I find out who I'll make them suffer the same way that Lisa suffered'

'so you think that the traitor who let your kidnappers know where you were killed Lisa?'

I nodded 'yep'

she smiled

'you know for once I agree with you there'

I smiled but soon it faded 'there's more. They eventually found out where I was and they managed to unlock the door, how they did that is beyond me. Luckily we had already managed to smash the glass, we had a problem though. I had a skirt on and I couldn't climb up onto the table'

she smiled

'is this when Carter saves you'

I smiled back, wow she was clever at these things 'sort off. He had already got out when I struggled so he climbed back in and helped me up. This caused a lot of trouble though because it had consumed a lot of valuable time, my kidnappers had managed to get hold of my leg. I screamed and this is where he saves me. He distracted them and they grabbed him allowing me to be able to escape'

she looked intense

'and then what happened?'

I smiled at her sudden interest 'he had saved my life and so I had to save his. I ran into the entrance of the school and I started screaming his name. The fire was pretty big around there and so I screamed his name. Eventually he responded and I found him but he had hurt his ankle so I helped him out of the building and then we escaped and found ourselfs here'

she was smiling but her look all gave it away, she was shocked.

'wow that was very-,' she paused and smiled at me 'dramatic'

I smiled 'I know' I the remembered her question earlier about the village and sighed 'this also carries on, it involves the village'

she sighed

'what happened?'

'they were after me and so they raided the village setting everything in their tracks on fire. Everyone that could fled but some couldn't and were trapped.' I said in a sad tone

she took my tone of voice and sighed

'I'm guessing that you went to the village'

again, I have probably said this a lot but it's true, wow she was smart 'yep. They trapped me there and that's where I met Lindsey and Katy. Luckily my friends came to the rescue but it ended up in a huge fight'

'did your friends win?'

I nodded 'yeah but it was dramatic'


she smiled

'seems like it, shame I missed all of this.,' she then paused and looked at me for a second like she had just remembered something 'so tell me what happened between you and your friends?'

I sighed, what could I tell her without giving the vampire bit away? 'long story short, I fell ill and ended up in hospital for a while but I pleaded to be let out early so I was let out. However when I came to my friends this girl called Rebecca and I didn't like her one bit. I fell ill again because I still wasn't well so I went back to hospital and when they came to visit me Rebecca visited as well. Like I said in my text messages, she replaced me. I wasn't happy with them because of that and she stormed out and my friends got angry causing them to give me the silent treatment.' I said angrily

she sighed

'oh deer Ruth, you've almost got a talent with falling out with people don't you' she joked

I half laughed, she had a point 'yep you know me well' I joked

she laughed 'well should you introduce me to your "friends" then' she said the word 'friends' sarcastically and it made me laugh

'yep come on then, were staying at Ben's, Carter's friends house' I said

'do I even want to know why your living there?' she joked

I laughed at that 'nope I don't think you do' I joked

she laughed and I took her home. As soon as I got home I slammed the door , as we got in I was surprised to see them all sitting on the settee talking 'guys not that your going to care but I'm back and I've brought my best friend Lilly with me. She's staying for a couple of days, they all looked at Lilly and walked up to her and smiled at her but gave me evils

'hey nice to meet you' Ben welcomed

'hey Lilly nice to meet you again'

Lilly smiled at that

'hi Carter'

they all
