***Penelope’s POV
That was close…If Jake would’ve seen….oh God. I’m sneaking out because I have to clean up the mess I made in the forest. This asshole of a demon decided to attack me. He wasn’t too smart though, he didn’t have his thoughts shielded, I heard him from a mile away.
Why did a demon attack me you ask? My family uses them to do their dirty business sometimes. So apparently they really want me dead now…I doubt Dmitri, my brother, would let that happen though…he’s the only one in my family that doesn’t hate me for leaving. I have to brothers and three sisters. My two brothers, Dmitri, Kaius and I are identical triplets. Kaius thinks I am weak for leaving…he wants to leave, and so does Dmitri, but they both refuse to admit it. My sisters Gabrielle and Jezebel aren’t very fond of me, but they do not hate me. Jamie, on the other hand, tries to kill me almost every time she sees me…she is hell bent on destroying me.
But enough of that. I’ve had a long enough time to dwell on family problems.
I’m not sure how long Jake and I are going to make it. If something accidentally happens…and he finds out that I’m a vampire…that never, ever ends well. I really love being with him, but I can’t help but be scared that something bad will happen. I mean, something’s bound to happen, there’s no way it couldn’t.
The sun’s almost up, Jake’s probably gonna get up soon. I’ll head back now.

** Jake’s POV
I woke up when I felt the bed move. I think I imagined it though, it was way to subtle.
“Hey, did you just move?” I asked.
“Nope…I’ve been sleeping. Like normal people.”
“Haha, alright Miss Smarty Pants…” I said as I started to tickle her.
“Hahahaha! No! Ha….Stop…it! Jake!.....really…sttooooopppp! Ahah..ahahaha..hahaa..”
She’s just so beautiful. Even with nothing done…all natural.
“Hey, I’m gonna go get ready for school…” she said
“Okay.”
With that she hopped up, gracefully of course, and went downstairs. Damn. She is sexy. How did I get so lucky? I really hope I don’t screw up.
I can’t believe I was gonna ruin her…what was I thinking?
Before I start hating myself, I’ll get ready.
We go to school and, as usual, it sucks. I don’t really like this Liz chick. She always gives me dirty looks. What’s up with that? But, I don’t care.
At lunch, I was too busy looking at that Aaron kid, to notice that Penelope didn’t eat today either. He kept looking at Penelope, but it was a strange look, like a weirdo stalker look. I should have a talk with him….

*** Penelope’s POV
Jake’s thinking about someone named Aaron?…Apparently there was a little “quarrel” when Jake was asking for my address (which by the way, they really need to get some security at this school). The Aaron kid does seem a little creepy. But, I can’t read his mind…so I don’t know if he actually is a creep or not. It’s not necessarily alarming that I can’t read this kids mind, there’s always a few people that I just can’t read. He seems familiar though…and his scent is strangely close to Eri—no.
I know he’s new, and that’s about it…but whoever he is, he needs to stop looking at me so weird. I don’t know him.
As the lunch bell rang, Jake decided to go have a talk with the kid.
