Homeroom was filled with noise and chaos. Boys and girls waving, laughing and sitting in their own little cliques. Alana took her seat in the first row but a tug on her sleeve from Sam made her realize he wanted her to sit in the back with him. So she removed herself from the desk and headed to the back row. From the look on the kids' faces they didn't seem quite happy with her back there, but they turned away as Sam sat her in front of him. "This way I can keep a watch on you better." He whispered.

Alana just nodded and kept her attention to the front of the room. Their teacher Miss Allen strolled in not long after, looking over her class and nodded. "I see we're all here for a change, how nice to see everyone." She said sarcastically, "And I see a few of you changed seats. Must I remind you that I have to approve the seat changes?" she remarked.

Sam raised his hand, "Miss Allen, I just wanted my new friend to sit with me, I swear I'll behave." He said, looking down to Alana.

The teacher shook her head, "It's fine Sam. Alana, remember, you must behave or I'll put you back in your seat. As for the rest of you, back to your seats."

The other children scurried back to their rightful seats, sending glares at Alana. Sam just patted her arm, letting her know no trouble would come to her. "They're just jealous. You're a good kid, so you can do as you please." He whispered and turned his attention to the teacher.

Homeroom ended minutes later after roll call and the pledge of allegiance. Sam and Alana stood, making their way out the door to their next class. This happened to be Alana's favorite class of the day, English.

"Did you do last night's homework?" she asked her newly found friend.

"Yeah, it was rough, but Rosa helped me a little. She knows more of this stuff than anyone."

Alana smiled; she didn't doubt that Rosa didn't know what the assignment was all about.

"Mr. Lackey will be surprised, most of the time you don't hand in your assignments at all." She reminded him.

He smiled, his eyes sparkling, "Well, I have to look good in front of you and with you a part of our group, I guess you'll be helping me out a lot more."

She laughed, "Yeah. I don't like slackers."

"Yeah, I know." He said.

They entered the room and class began. But outside the walls of the school stood a lone dark figure, glaring up to the room where the two children sat. His eyes glowed an eerie red as he turned on his heel and walked away, vowing to destroy the vampire clan that dared to enter his territory.

Over at the other part of High School though, it was a completely different scene. Students of all grades were preparing for Formal and the hallways were littered with banners. Rosa placed the last banner she made on the wall and stood back, happily admiring her hard work. She sighed.

"This is going to be a great year." She cooed, before stopping in her tracks. She felt an odd presence nearby.

"Anna." She hissed, "Come here."

Anna got to her feet from nearby and came over to her sister. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"Don't you feel it?" she asked.

The odd sensation washed over her as well. "What does it mean?"

"It means someone has found us."

Tanya groaned, "Does this mean we will have to leave again?"

"I hope not." Rosa said, "Let's just hope that Riley can end this before it's too late."
