Ok so a while ago I was contemplating whether or not I should delete this, but then I realised how much I loved it. It's my baby and I know that sounds really corny but I birthed this story and work hard to get it to 72k and that's really hard to get back. I decided to end my hiatus and update more for you readers.

Phoebe.

I snapped awake, sitting up straight in my bed. I hazed around at the empty room. I stepped out of bed and headed downstairs. Zayn and Krista were downstairs. "Um," I coughed awkwardly. "Why are you guys still here?"

"I came to check on you," Krista offered a nervous and shy smile, which she really shouldn't do because she looked stupid and way too reclusive. Not a good thing.

"I don't like to be babysat. " I duplicated her smile, yet mine was very synthetic. "Sorry. You're no longer needed. " I brushed past the two of them on the way to the kitchen. I remembered there was a secret blood stash. I wet my lips as I took it out of the fridge, it's strong odor dominating my sense of smell

Zayn and Krista had the audacity to follow me into the kitchen. I guess they didn't get the hint. I was too lazy to say something, so I just chugged down a mouthful of blood, the blessful liquid cascading down my throat. "You doing alright there Phoebe?" Zayn asked.

I eyed him weirdly before responding, "Fine." I swallowed an additional mouthful. I walked over to him slowly, "in fact, I'm more than fine. I'm fan-fucking-tastic. " It was true. Not caring does a lot of good for you. Relieves stress. With my free hand, I released my hair out from its ponytail and let it come down freely.

"You seem different. " Krista kept staring at me. Was she obsessed with me or something? Who knows. She'd always seemed to care a little too much. "Is it because of Harry?"

"It's because I'm free. " I leaned my head up and lifted the bag proportionally to my mouth. I squeezed the remainder of the liquid into my mouth. I licked the remains off of my lips and wiped it with my hands.

Zayn furrowed his brows and backed up towards the counter. "What do you mean by free?"

"I don't have to worry about Harry or caring. "

"Phoebe," Krista was very worried. Her expression showed it. Worry is one of the emotions no one really needs. I mean come on. Why would you worry when you can just live life without care? "What did you do?" She spoke slowly, like I was a toddler.

"I let myself be free. " I tossed the bag on the floor. "Is that so wrong?" I made my voice sound as innocent as possible.

Realisation had finally crossed Zayn's face and he lowered his head slightly to meet his caramel brown eyes with my grey blue ones. He was in shock for a moment, unable to speak or construct a response. "You.." Zayn paused and just stared at me. "turned it off. "

I clapped my hands together and exclaimed in a very sarcastic tone,"Wow you're smart!"

"How could you!" Zayn seemed upset. "Phoebe, you don't even know how to control your emotions, let alone go without them. " He was very upset with me, his volume rapidly increasing. "How do you even do something so impulsive to yourself. " Zayn was wasting his breath. Why yell at someone who doesn't care?

"Someone's angry," I teased in a very sing-song voice to lighten his mood. Just because I didn't care doesn't mean that I like yelling.

"What are you talking about?" Krista just recently learned of her connections with the supernatural, of course she wouldn't know what turning it off means.

"Are you dense or something?" I retorted at her ignorance.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" She was clearly taken back at my name calling. I smiled, amused at her anger.

"When you are a vampire," He started, turning away from me to face Krista. "You have a choice whether or not to feel. You can live with humanity, or without it. It's all up to you and it can just switch off. "

"How can we turn it back on?" Krista glared at me. Her glare hadn't bothered me at all. She must really care about me. That must suck for her. "We can't have her go to school like this!"

"Oh yes school. " I smirked. "I can get blood straight from the vein. " My mouth began to water when I visioned biting into an unsuspecting victim's neck as they helplessly try to fight me off. Too bad no mortal can take on a powerful vampire.

"Too bad you're not going. " Zayn spoke up.

"Too bad no one can stop me. " My smile grew sinister.

PHOEBE IS SO EVIL. I miss caring Phoebe. This one's a bitch and heartless. Hence why I named the chapter heartless. I don't think Heartless Phoebe will go over well at school...

I'M BACK BABY.
