Chapter 2

We walked to the big doors which he had pointed out as being the hall. Behind those doors were heaps of vampires. There were about hundred of them and now there would be one human. They were ranging in age but they are mostly all young when they were change. Its can be hard for those turn young.

So this is why this school is here. Not only so others can meet each other but also to help them with the changes over time and just make friends. It’s a good thing and I guess about hundred years into my being a vampire I will probably do this.

I could hear people talking as we walked closer to the door. I was starting to feel nervous. I really didn’t like this. I was about to walk into a room full of a hundred vampires who I don’t know. He opened the door and I took a breath.  

The whole room went quietly. I hated this. He opened the door and he gestured for me to walk in. I stepped through the doors and I was in the hall. There were hundred vampires staring at me. I felt so uncomfortable. They were sitting at tables but they were looked back at me. I just stood there.

The females were beautiful of course and the males were all handsome. Of course they were because they are vampires and I’ve never seen or heard of an ugly vampire. They are always beautiful.

“Follow me Miss Annabelle” Khay said

I took a breath and followed him. People watch me walk pass them. I just looked forward. I wasn’t going to show anything. I was just followed Khay. I realize he was heading straight for the front where there was a platform. He better not make me get up in front of everybody. I don’t like that. I’m a little shy but not much just enough to be worried about standing in front of vampires.

He did get on the platform. He turned around and put his hand out to me. Vampires are very respectful to each other. He pulled me up on the stage. My butterflies were going crazy and I knew all the vampires could probably sense that. I stood beside him. Everybody was still watching.

“Now I would love you all to make are new student welcome. This is Annabelle Connor” Khay said

Everybody started clapping. If he makes me talk.

“Annabelle why don’t you tell us a bit about yourself” Khay said

I looked at him. Of course he would want that. This was not cool. I really just wanted to run out of the hall and keep running as far as possible from this school. But then I would embarrass myself more. So basically my only option was speak or run away. Then everybody will think you’re stupid.

I half smiled at him to show him I didn’t like this one bit. He stepped back as he smiled at me. So I would be standing in the middle of the platform and in front of everybody. I turned and faced everybody.

“Hi, Annabelle’s the name. I was adopted by my two vampire parents who are Marius and Claudia. Some of you might know them. I have been around vampires all my life and I know what to expect from them” I said

Everybody was still looking at me like I was some animal at the zoo that they were looking at. I seriously feel sorry for animals in zoos and I’m never going near another one after this.

“Annabelle what are your favorite subject?” Khay said

I looked over my shoulder at him. Was he doing this because he thought it would be good for me or was he just plain stupid?

“History because I love learning where we have come from and learning how to make those things from happening again” I said

I thought I better explain because he would probably ask.

“I teach history and I can’t wait to see your work” Khay said

I then saw a person stand up out of the corner of my eye. I turned to see a guy. When I saw him he was very handsome of course. He was tall, broad shouldered, blonde hair that was inches long and blue eyes. He looked at me with a playful smile. I knew there was something behind that smile. He seemed to be the guy who was the bad boy type. He just had that look to him. He was also wearing jeans and black shirt.

“Eric you have a question” Khay said

“Yes I do. I have heard something about you” Eric said

I looked him straight in the eyes. If he ask what I think his about to ask. I had another little secret which I had from the moment I was born. I was Telekinetic. I could move things with my mind. My parents always encourage I use it and I was good at it.

“And what would that be” I said

“You can move things with your mind and you hands without touching it. I think it’s called Telekinesis’s” Eric said

“Yes I can” I said

Everybody looked like they wanted to see it. They wanted to see me move something without touching it. I knew and I might as well do it. Instead of having people coming up to me to ask me to do it. I might as well get it over and done with.

I turn my head to the right and I saw a spare chair against the wall. I looked at it and then it rose as I said to in my head. I made it move fast through the air until halfway across the room and then I made it stop. Everybody made shock sounds and then I made it move slowly to the other side of the room. I sat it down.

“Thank you Miss Annabelle for showing them that. Now there are no classes tonight. We start tomorrow night. You are allowed to do whatever you wish tonight. You all can leave now” Khay said

Everybody got up talking. They were talking about what I just done. Khay smiled at me and gestured for me to follow him. I walked behind him. People continue to look at me as I walked pass them. Haven’t they gotten enough of looking at me?

We left the hall and walked up to the dorm area. People walked pass us and looked at me still. I was going to scream if they didn’t stop doing that. He walked me to my room and opened the door for me.

“Now I think you would like to set your room up. My room is down the hall as you know. Its open and your welcome anytime. If you need to talk” Khay said

“Thanks” I said

He bowed his head and then he walked off down the hall. I walked in my room and shut the door quickly. I had enough of people staring at me and I wanted to be away from their eyes.

My room was a typical dorm size room. I had warm cream walls and the carpet was charcoal blue. There was a single bed, a drawer with five of them, a desk and chair, a pin board and a closet. It was big enough.

I sighed and I started unpacking my clothes into the drawer and the closet. I saw my uniform in the closet hanging there ready. I looked at it. The skirt was red tartan, a white shirt, blood red tie, black jumper one long sleeve and the other with none. My drawer had stockings and socks. Khay told me that shoes were whatever we wanted as long as they are black. That was good.

I guess it wasn’t that bad. I kept making my room. I put my laptop on my desk and my parents even brought my CD player along with my CD‘s and I sat it there also. I pinned some pictures up on the pin board. I put the frame picture of me and my parents on my drawer. I made the room mine with my stuff. It felt like me and not some small room in a vampire school.

I had a beside table to with a lamp. There was also a mirror above the drawer. I turned on the CD player softly. It was a cool heavy metal band. My bed was made. The covers on the bed were charcoal blue. I sat down on the bed and it was comfortable. At least the room was ok. I heard my stomach rumble. I’m hungry. My parents packed me some chocolate.

I grabbed out a block and I opened it. I sat on my bed and I took a piece. I knew they would start knocking soon. They would start introducing themselves. Khay said they were happy to have me here.

I wander if that was the truth or he was just trying to make me feel more at ease here. I sat there listening to music and eating chocolate. It was good. I then heard the noise that I was expecting any minute. The knock at the door. I sat the chocolate on my bedside table and I walked to the door. I opened the door.

There on the other side was Eric and some other guys. Oh great he was the first to come knocking. I could see he was the bad boy type. He just as that thing about him that all guys have when they are like that.

“Eric right” I said

He smiled.

“Annabelle right” Eric said

“Yes and what brings you to my room” I said

He was very good looking. Even though he was the bad boy type he was still very appealing to me. But I don’t really allow myself to like those kinds of guys because they are only trouble waiting to happen. I smiled at him to be nice of course.

“Welcoming party” Eric said

“Welcoming party. I think I already had one down stairs. The whole school was the welcoming party” I said

He laughed and his two friends also did.

“I guess that sort of was” Eric said

I rolled my eyes.

“And what would you two’s name be?” I said

“I’m Sam” Sam said

He was tall and dark haired. I smiled at him.

“I’m Reese” Reese said

He was tall and light brown haired. I smiled at him to.

“Nice to meet both of you” I said

“I see you have settled straight into your room” Eric said

“Yeah I have” I said

“That’s good” Eric said

I had enough of this.

“Alright let’s stop with this crap. You are of course curious about my little gift and want to see more. Well I’m not here for your amusement” I said

Eric laughed.

“Oh I am curious” Eric said

“Eric why don’t you go and chase after some other girl” A male voice said from the left.

Eric and his friends looked straight at him. I poked my head a little more out the door. I then saw the guy. He was very handsome; he was built well, tall, golden brown hair and deep brown eyes. He looked at me and smiled. I couldn’t help but smile back at him. His smile just made me smile.

“Tristan still playing the nice guy” Eric said

I couldn’t believe this. They were going to act stupid. Well I’m not staying around to watch this crap. I decided to go and pick my school things up from the library. Khay said it was there. I walked out and shut the door behind me.

“Excuse me boys” I said as I walked to the right.

I walked between Eric and his friends. I headed off down the hallway. The quickest way to the library was this way. I didn’t look over my shoulder I just kept walking along the hall.

“Where you going?” Eric said

“To hell” I said

I heard laughter from behind me. I turned the corner and headed down the next hallway. I walked past people and they smiled. I smiled back. I reached the library doors and I walked in. No one was in there apart from the librarian. I was shocked when I saw her. It was my Mum’s best friend and I had known her since I was young.

“Ophelia” I said

“Annabelle it’s so good to see you. How have you been?” Ophelia said

“Good I’m so glad I know a least one person here” I said

“Yeah it must be hard not knowing any of your class mates. Well don’t worry you will be ok. I will grab your school books and stuff for you” Ophelia said

She walked back into her offices and grabbed a couple bags. She walked back to the desk and she sat them on there. I looked in them and I saw school books and text books. Nice this looks fun. There was pen even and everything else.

“Looks like this years going to be busy” I said

“Don’t worry your good and this will be easy for you” Ophelia said

I smiled at her.

“Yeah hopefully. Hey you don’t mind is I check out the library” I said

“No go ahead girl. I will just be in my office if you need me” Ophelia said

She smiled and walked back into her office. I sat the bags down beside her desk and then I turned. There were tables in the middle of the room for study. I walked pass them and up the couple stairs to the book aisles. I started looking at the them. They seemed to have heaps of books.

I was looking in one of the aisles near one of the corners. It was quiet. I had a book in my hand and I was checking it out. I was kind of checking out books to read. I like reading books and if they are good I will.

I was reading the first chapter of some book about a teenager. It seemed ok. I was standing there reading. The library seemed to have the same eerie quietness to it but I didn’t feel that creep out. I still I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I gasped and my hand went to my chest. The book fell to the ground.
