After a few minutes, I am now sitting in my seat and his seat is right beside mine. During the whole class Christian, which was apparently his name, was acting completely different then last night. He was acting really lazy and weak. For example, let's talk about how he handles his bullying. He doesn't try to fight back or use that teleport trick he used well fighting me, he just stands there and gets thrown around well throwing his "clever" remarks. I don't really care that he's getting bullied, but he could easily defend himself so then why doesn't he. After class and when everyone left, leaving only me and him. ¨ So how did you survive that fall from last night, ¨ I say not making eye contact.

¨ I got lucky and landed in a garbage bin, ¨ Christian said.

¨ I should have made sure you were dead, ¨ I said a little angry.

¨ Yay but you didn't. Lucky me, ¨ He says looking at me. He then gets up and is about to walk out but before he could, I get up pulling a small gun from my jacket and aim it at him but when I pulled the trigger all I heard was a click from the gun.

I look at the gun and say, '' What the, I swore I loaded this thing. "

I then heard his voice say, ¨ Looking for something. ¨ When I looked up I saw him throwing the bullets that were in my gun up and down. ¨ Just so you know weapons aren't allowed in school, ¨ he says with a joking smile. After that he walked out.

I then decided to follow Christian. Well following Christian, I saw his family eating dinner. Christian's dad seemed just like him from last night. His sisters, specifically his little sister, are always fighting with him. His mom seemed just like mine but a little bit more talkative but the thing that confused me was that Christian acted just the same way he acts today. I waited until it was night and then broke through the window of his room. When I got in, I saw him in his bed looking like he was sleeping. When I saw him, I unsheathe my katana and raised it over my head ready to kill him, but just then everything went black. When I woke up, I jolted up and saw a candle which was lit. Then I tried to move my arms but couldn't. When I looked down, I was tied up with rope. I looked back up to look around and also tried to move my wings, but it felt like my wings were gone. I then heard a voice say, ¨ I see you're up. ¨ I looked where the voice came from and saw Christian balancing a kunai on his finger.

¨ How did I get tied up like this and what happened to my wings? ¨ I said angrily at him.

" I knocked you out then tied you up and your wings are being affected by that candle, ¨ Christian says with a smile. When he says that the candle is affecting my wings, I tried to blow the candle out but failed. ¨ If you're trying to blow that candle out you can't, no vampire will ever blow that candle out, ¨ He says with a smile.

¨ Ok, ¨ I said, shifting my glance back to him again, angrily.

¨ Man y'all vampires never change, you all hate me because of lies, ¨ he said looking at me.

¨ SHUT UP, you are nothing but a murderer and a liar, you even lie to your family. You killed innocent vampires who have done nothing but help, ¨ I say look at him well crying. A few seconds later he suddenly burst out laughing.

" That is the worst lie I have heard. You think that vampires have been helping us. Let me tell you, whoever told you that is terrible at lying, ¨ he says we'll laugh, through half of it. ¨ Do you really want to know what vampires are like? They don't care what happens to us, they even kill us for sport. My job is to kill them before they kill others, ¨ He says, looking at me seriously but smiling.
