The hooded figure crept closer and I quickly grabbed Danielle.

"Shh we will be okay" I told her, kissing her cheek. The figure got closer and ripped Danielle from my hands. "No" I cried as he sucked her blood.

The guy took his hood off and it was a guy with blue eyes and brownish/reddish hair. He grabbed my neck and threw me into a ring just like Elena and Aunt Jenna.

"Charlie! Wake up!" I fluttered my eyed open to see Jeremy.

"Jer" I cried holding onto him for dear life. I buried my face in his neck so my sobs were muffled and gripped his shirt.

"It's okay Charles" he cooed "it was only a dream"

"You're right" I nodded letting go, and drying my tears. "Only a dream."

"Good. Because first day of school. Don't want to be late" he chuckled "oh and I call the last cup of coffee" then he sprints off running trying to escape my wrath.

"No fair!" I said running after him. "I deserve it!" My feet carefully but quickly made there way down the stairs. But alas here he was drinking my cup of coffee. "Man" I pouted

"What's with you kids and coffee these days" Aunt Jenna asked setting a plate down in front of me. I looked and there sat my worst enemy, food.

"Jenna you didn't have to make me anything"

"Don't talk crazy you deserve it. Plus you need some energy for your first day."

"Yeah because someone took my coffee!" I shouted at Jeremy.

"Oh and your gonna have to take Dani with you. I have a meeting that I have to go to at" She paused to look at her watch. "Crap! Now! Love you guys" she said running out the door.

"Man! Now I have to rush and dress Dani" I mumbled to myself. Man this was stressing me out.

"Already done." Elena said walking downstairs with my kid sitting on her hip, wearing a yellow tank top with white shorts and flats, and part of her hair was pinned back with a yellow bow. Elena set her down as she tried to fold her stroller.

"Thank you!"

"That's what sisters are for!"

"Mommy in hungry " She said in her cute three year old developing voice.

"Here" I spoke and set her on the seat in front of my plate. "Jer watch Dani please, I have to get dressed"

"Sure but what are you going to eat?"

"I'm not that hungry." I walked upstairs to my room and changed into;black shorts, dark blue tank top, jean jacket, kept my hair straight, black beanie, black high tops, and my necklace my 'dad' gave me.

"Let's go" Elena called from downstairs. School here I come.

I walked into my first class with Dani in her stroller. Every one looked at me weirdly, wow freshman year and everyone already thinks of me as a slut.

"You must be Elena's sister" I nodded slowly. "Well you can sit in that back corner,then maybe that child won't interrupt the class" he spoke sternly. "I'm Mr.Tanner, Welcome to hell...for sluts" he whispered so nobody else could hear it.

I went to my designated spot, tears pricked at my eyes but I pushed them back. This was going to be a long day.

After class was over I sat alone at lunch. Course I could've sat with Elena and her friends, they act like they like me but I don't think they actually do.

"Mommy are you okay"Danielle asked

"Yeah." I gave a weak smile. "M'fine. Just fine."

"Hey slut" a bitchy girl came over to me. "I can smell fish all the way over there" she pointed towards her table. "So can you close your legs"

"Erm they're closed" I spoke looking down.
"Look at me when I speak to you" she grabbed my chin and forced me to look at her. All of the sudden I felt a sting on my cheek.

"Mommy!" Dani squealed crying.

"Hey leave her alone" a guy bellowed. I'm pretty sure I've seen him with Elena.

"What are you gonna do about it" she spoke in her bitchy tone.

"You are going to treat her kindly for now on and forget this ever happened" He spoke looking directly into her eyes. She just nodded and walked away.

"What. Just. Happened."
