Finally got out of my classes for the day, its a good thing too because I nearly finished my book. I was about to head to my room when I remembered the note from this morning, I pull it out of my pocket and read it over again. At the back of the school, hm, they must mean by all of the forest.

Slowly, I make my way over to the forest part of the school. The wind whistled and blew my hair across my face. I move it away and continue walking. The gravel path beneath my shoes crunches loudly, I look up from my feet and see that I have made it to the spot. At first, I couldn't see anyone. I walk closer to the trees and look around, despite being a vampire, I can't see very well in the dark. As I am walking I feel a hand reach out and grab me, the owner of the hand pushes me against a tree roughly, knocking the breath out of me. In the dim light I am able to make out the outline of a tall man, he looked scary and ragged. I open my mouth to scream but a hand covers my mouth. I struggle and kick against the man but my strength was failing me. In no time my body is exhausted, leaving me in danger. As the man tries to drag my body deeper into the forest I hear someone running. Quick but quiet footsteps getting closer and closer, suddenly my attacker is laying on the floor in my place as I'm pulled up from the cold ground.
My legs weak, I struggle to stand. I look at the person who saved me. It was the boy, the new student. He helped me even though he didn't know me. I could feel my legs beginning to give way, the boy holds me close around my shoulders to support my shaking body. "You okay?" He asks, his voice calm and smooth "y-yeah just feel l-like I'm going to..." I don't finish my sentence, my vision turns black.

*hours later*

I wake up in my bed, the window left open and filling the room with a cold draft. I sit up and wince, instantly clutching my shoulder. "You should lay back down" a voice says. I jump and carefully look around, the boy was sitting on the chair by my desk. "H-how did I get here?" I ask, "well I brought you here after you was attacked, you blacked out" the boy says messing with a glass bottle "I think this is what you needed" he says getting up and handing the bottle to me. The glass is cold and the liquid inside shimmers in the dim light, I turn my body to the side "d-don't look" I say making the boy turn around. I take the top off the bottle and drink the liquid as quickly as I can so that I can get rid of the horrific taste. I cough and toss the bottle with the rest of them. "You should be more careful next time" the boy says heading for the door, "w-wait, what is your name? W-who are you?" I ask squeezing my shoulder to suppress the pain. The boy stops for a moment, completely still and quiet. "Rhys. My name is Rhys, that is all you need to know for now" he says before leaving my room. I'm left sitting on my bed in a daze, that's his name. Hm, it suits him.
