Darknights Great Secret - a Vampire story

Chapter Eighteen

As I stood up taking my leave I knew I was getting stares from the few people present but I did my best in order to ignore them. They wouldn't harm me, would they? I thought nervously but banished the thought quickly in order not to give myself the creeps. As I left the library I greeted the librarian sitting by her desk. However, when I left the library I did not know my way back. I had once again been dragged to my destination by Dwight and left. I let out a sigh and turned left, trying my luck.
"Quinn!" I heard someone shout my name. I looked up and saw Maggie running towards me. As she reached me she seemed a bit short-winded.
"I've been looking for you." She said and placed her hands on her hips.
"oh, sorry. I was with Dwight." I said, trying not to grimace.
"I know." She said and smiled.
"You know?" I repeated confused.
"Yeah, he told me." She replied as she motioned for us to leave.
"He did?" I asked as we walked down the hallway.
"Just now, I was looking for you in the yard and he came up to me. Quite rare actually. He isn't one to look after others on his free will." She explained and shrugged. Hm, is that so. I thought as a slight smile formed on my lips.
"I assume Dwight is your turning teacher then? I thought I was supposed to be Joshua." She asked.
"It was meant for him to my teacher in the beginning, so I heard."
"I wonder if you would have liked Joshua better." Maggie said and a smirk appeared.
"Why do you say that?" I stuttered.
"Joshua is quite nice, not only to look at." She said and winked at me which made me turn red.
"Appearance isn't everything you know." I stuttered, feeling my face turning red.
"Oh, then you're staring at Dwight because of his personality then?" Maggie said and her smirk grew. I panicked, she had seen me staring at Dwight in the classroom. Then Maggie began laughing, too hard in my opinion.  We reached the dormitory and became ready for bed.
"By the way." Maggie said as she left the bathroom drying her hair with a towel.
"what?" I asked as my gaze followed her from my position in my bed which I'd made.  She walked up to her desk and opened one of the drawers. She reached down and brought up a folded piece of paper. She then walked up to me and handed me the paper.
"Here. I think this will be helpful." She said giving me one of her adorable smiles. I unfolded the paper and found that it was a map, a map of the school grounds. Great. I really need this I thought.
"Thanks." I said looking up at her, returning her smile.
"Now I don't have to look like a fool finding my way through the school." I continued to which she laughed and I couldn't join in on her laughing fit. We later crawled down under the covers in our beds and turned of the lights on our bedside tables.
"I hope today wasn't the worst day of your life, Quinn." Maggie's voice was heard in the darkness. The question caught me by surprise. Not only because she was a vampire caring so much for a human but as a friend. I am not one to make friends easily. Therefor I haven't had anyone besides Amanda and my grandmother to worry about me. Mustering up courage to speak to others is also a new side of me. I wonder were all this courage came from. Independence perhaps?
"No, not at all. A lot of things happened and I haven't had any time to react, to anything." I answered honestly.
"I'm glad." She replied and I could hear her smiling.
"Me too." I said and a smile formed on my lips as well. As we said our good nights my thoughts drifted away. What had actually happened today? As well as yesterday. Eleanor Moreau, she was the who brought me here. However, why? Was it because she was acquainted with my father? I am also surprised by myself. Doing something as risky as this is not like me. I am not one to take risks and attending a school full of vampires is a great risk. Although it wasn't as horrifying as I thought. If I saw Maggie and the others in the city I would never believe that they could be vampires. My preconceptions are really wrong, at least for the most part. In this moment I feel at ease, which I shouldn't. I should worry about my future. Though I do not know in what order I should worry in. The symptoms of becoming a vampire, the turning itself or living my life as one? There are several additional things to worry about but I don't want a headache before going to bed. I decided to close my eyes and think of everything else but my worries. After some time I drifted away and sleep came over me.
