Chapter One: I had Harry Potter in my hands when I heard the rock. It had been thrown right at my window. For a second I froze, and then I realized it was probably my boyfriend, Keith. I scampered over to my window in only underwear and tank. My long brown hair hung wildly over my shoulders and in my face. I pulled the window open and looked into the darkness. Babe, it s me Keith! My sixteen year old boyfriend said jumping through my window with ease. Hey. I giggled. He shook his midnight-black hair and kissed me passionately on the lips. His hands going down my shoulders and resting at the small of my back. I put my arms around his neck and entwined my fingers in his shaggy glossy black hair. Keith pulled back and smiled my favorite bad-boy smile, lighting up his melted emerald eyes. C mon, I m taking you somewhere. Keith said, smiling the smile again. Okay, just let me find some shorts I giggled again, going to my

Bat Academy: 1
hamper. Nah, less is more! Keith exclaimed, his eyes shining with excitement. I laughed and pulled out a pair of clean short shorts and slipped them on. Keith jumped out the window and grabbed my hand, I flew out and landed in his arms with a Oomph . He smiled a breath-taking smile and I closed my eyes soaking up the moonlight. The wind was comforting and mysterious, my hair flew everywhere like a tornado. All of a sudden, everything was a blur. At first I thought we were flying and then I realized Keith was sprinting. He still smiled down at me and ran so fast, like everything was in fast-forward. He stopped at a moonlit field and set me down in the prairie grasses. I inhaled the scent of jasmine and lavender and grabbed Keith s arm down towards me. He hesitated then smiled lying down next to me. I turned on my side to look at him and he grabbed my face, kissing me long and hard. Keith pulled away and sat up, picking me off the ground

Bat Academy: 1
as if I weighed nothing. He cradled me in his pale, muscular arms like a baby and bent down towards my neck. Keith grinned enviously at me and then I saw sharp pearly white fangs protruding from his gums. And then the lights went out.

I sat from my bed gasping and covered in cold sweat. My mouth tasted sickly sweet and my neck stiff and sore. I looked down at my tank top covered dried blood. All down my arms, chest, neck, and legs was old blood. I felt vile coming up my throat and puked up blood, and old dinner in the white trashcan right next to my bed. Wait! This is not my bed! Or my room! Where the heck am I? Where s Keith? Why am I covered in blood? What the heck? I looked around the room, and realized everything was white! The beds-which were actually cots-and the walls, and everything! All surrounding me were cots covered with crisp white sheets. I was the

Bat Academy: 1
only occupant of this clinic . It smelled like antiseptic and rubbing alcohol. To the right of every cot was a little white table. Mine was covered with a stuffed black duffle bag and a glass of cold water and applesauce. I grabbed the sweating glass of water and swallowed it in one big gulp. I tore open the applesauce and poured it all into my mouth, grinning impishly. I gulped it down and looked to my left. There was the white, innocent, trash bin holding the nasty vile I puked up only a couple minutes ago. I felt so hungry, like I was surviving so barely. Ugh! I was craving something, I just can t think what.. I pushed down the covers and rose out of the cot. Unzipping the duffle bag I found a bag of clothes and another bag filled with a toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, a brush, deodorant and a razor with shaving cream. I looped the duffle around my arm and set out to find a bathroom.

Bat Academy: 1
Chapter Two I stepped out of the clinic and pushed through a heavy mahogany door. Engraved in it were swirls, and the words of a different language. I entered a chilly stone corridor filled with steel doors on either side of the hall. I approached one of the doors and turned the knob. It pushed open lightly revealing a big, king sized, bed and a smooth, desk. There was plush, red, carpet, and no windows. In the corner of the room was a black dresser with two golden knobs. What are you doing here?! Someone yelled, appearing mysteriously in front of me. I I uh I was looking for a bathroom .. I stammered. I looked up at the boy glaring down at me and was astounded. He was beautiful, the same attraction I felt when looking at Keith I found with him. He had golden blonde ringlets surrounding his pale face. His milk chocolate brown eyes were boring into my big hazel one s. I felt the ground tip and stumbled, a wave of nausea taking over me. He was so stunning,

Bat Academy: 1
breath-taking.. My stomach felt like I swallowed butterflies. You should have stayed. He said, still glaring. Apparently this godly guy was very territorial. Stay where? In the clinic? I asked him, rubbing my sore neck. I felt like crap. Ugh. Clinic? He snorted, and laughed cruelly. Yes I said, looking down at my blood stained hands. What the heck

is happening to me? That s no clinic. It s the infirmary. Where you turn, or get sick. He informed, speaking in a clear accent. He was obviously humored by me; not in a good way. I felt stupid talking to him, with his beautiful face but hard voice. Infirmary? Can you just tell me where I am? Please! I pleaded, I d do anything at this point for some answers. Oh, you re in Bat Academy. A school for Vampires. And, you re also in my dorm. He emphasized, raising one perfectly plucked eyebrow.

Bat Academy: 1
Vampires? Are you kidding me? You can t be serious! I yelled, fighting the urge to shake him! How could this be a school for Vampires? No, it can t. Vampires aren t real . He has a sick sense of humor or he s mental. Lord, did I end up in a psycho ward! No, I m not kidding. Vampires are real, I m one and your one. This school is real and filled with Vampires. We are creatures of the night and live off the blood of humans. And, you better believe it or you ll drive yourself crazy. He stated, his perfect, pink, lips forming a rigid, straight line. How am I a Vampire? How are you one? Who are you? Why am I here? Where s Keith? I questioned frantically. How could I possibly believe I was a Vampire and let alone they were real? I couldn t! You re a vampire because Keith bit you. I m Ashton, and I m a vampire because someone bit me. You re here because your now a vampire and you need to be comforted and surrounded by your own. Keith is probably with his girlfriend Rachel. And, now I m going to take you to

Bat Academy: 1
the headmaster Demoi. Ashton answered, putting his hand on the small of my back and leading me down the corridor I d walked through earlier. Realization was seeping into me. I started remembering that night, where Keith cradled me and bit me. That s where the blood came from! But, Ashton had to be wrong, Rachel wasn t his girlfriend, I was. What do you mean Keith s girlfriend Rachel. I m his girlfriend! I asked, turning around to face his handsome body. No, you re not his girlfriend. He used you. Rachel is a vampire and they fell in love. Keith always uses human girls and then bites them. Only, pretty girls though. Rachel does the same thing to human boys. Ashton told me, patting my back and leading me toward the end of the corridor and turning a sharp right. I felt my chest explode in a million pieces. My pulse quickened, and I stopped breathing. What was this guy talking about? Keith was my boyfriend, not this Rachel s! I felt Ashton lead me up staircases after

Bat Academy: 1
staircases, the walls were plush with expensive carpet here. Here we are. Ashton said, with a smile. It disappeared once he saw my expression, I must look like a mess, blood caked everywhere. Standing before Ashton and me was two huge mahogany double doors. Ashton knocked three times and they swung open. The dorm was humungous! Four times as big as Ashton s dorm. Occupying the space was a big flawless desk, shelves filled with ancient books, plush carpets, and oil portraits sporting recent headmasters and mistresses. In the back was a hall filled with other rooms, apparently the headmaster was a very popular part of Bat Academy. I felt someone s presence beside me and glanced to the side. The resemblance struck me instantly. The headmaster looked almost exactly like Keith except older and more responsible. He was tall and muscular, and had beautiful glossy black hair and melted-emerald eyes. He wore black dress pants and a black button-up dress shirt. This Demoi reminded me exactly of Keith, mysterious and dangerous.

Bat Academy: 1
Welcome Madison. He said in a dangerous purr, smiling warmly at me. He looked me up and down and frowned. If he wasn t the headmaster I d say he was checking me out. But then again, we WAS the headmaster & Ashton was right here. Yes, I answered, getting lost in the mystery of his emerald irises. This is Bat Academy. You will now be a Vampire here. You will learn skills and find your talents and perfect them. You will meet enemies and companions here. Ashton will lead you back to your dorm where you will find everything you will ever need here. Keep the bag for reason s unknown. You may depart. Demoi stated and disappeared in the mist of his headquarters. It was just like that, a quick snap of the fingers and I was led away. No handshake or even some more answers. I felt just as confused as before. And angry. Ashton had no right lying to my face about Keith. I know Keith and he isn t like that. Keith s sweet. He would never hurt me. Ashton led me through stone corridor after stone corridor until we

Bat Academy: 1
reached a steel door marked 207. He gave me a key in the shape of a bat with its wings spread and left with a brief nod. What a friendly guy. Hmph. I shoved the unusual key in the lock and turned, the steel door clicked open and I walked steadily in. The room looked big to me, because back home I d had a small cramped room. In the middle of the room against the wall was a king-sized bed covered in my blue comforter. The pillows were plush and big and covered with my pillowcases. Pushed against the end of the bed was a steel trunk. In the middle was a red lock-my lock from my locker at school- and I shoved my bat key in once again. Inside were my books, movies, and pictures. There were my idol posters Harry Potter & The All American Rejects- and my electronics. My cell phone, laptop, I pod, and camera. To the right was a big dresser. I opened the doors and found every

Bat Academy: 1
single item of my clothing packed into it neatly. At the bottom of the dresser was a row of all my shoes. I wandered over the beautiful desk and found inside was my paper, notebooks, sketchbooks, pens and pencils. There was even a packet of my stationary. I couldn t believe it! How did they get it? At the left of my room was a door, I opened it and there was a bathroom with toilet and shower. The cabinets and drawers were filled with my items, shampoo and conditioner, brushes, make-up, hamper, medicine, and my face wash. I unzipped my black duffle bag, which I d found and organized the shower items neatly in the bathroom with my other items and pulled out the clothes. Black jeans, and a pretty silver shirt-sweater with a black bat with its wings spread in the upper right corner. It was beautiful. I wandered over to the dresser and found out I had more school uniforms with bats in the corner, hidden among my regular

Bat Academy: 1
clothes. Every piece of clothing now had a black bat with it s wings spread in the right hand corner. Chapter Three I hopped out of my new white shower feeling clean and refreshed. All blood was washed from my body and my hair was soft and shiny. The hot water had relaxed my muscles and I had a time for thinking things through for the first time today. I grabbed a warm, off-white towel off the plastic rack an wrapped it around my body. I honestly just wanted to curl up in bed with a book and a glass of sweet tea. I walked out to my dresser and pulled on underwear and an oversized t-shirt with a gleaming, new bat in the corner. I looked into the mirror in the back of the dresser and gasped. Instead of my normally bronze tan skin, my skin gleamed white, moon-kissed instead of sun-kissed. I was so pale! Pale like Keith, Ashton and Demoi. Vampire pale, like

Bat Academy: 1
everyone else at this school. Did I like it? Heck no. Would I have to live with it? Sadly yes. I pulled back my blue covers and crawled in. My throat never stopped burning but I managed to fall into a restless sleep. Demoi and Keith were smiling seductively. I made my way towards Keith when I saw a beautiful Italian girl step from behind him. She bared her fangs and Keith grabbed her delicate, pale, hand. I shrinked back from him, confused. Who was that girl? Demoi flitted towards me, standing protectively in front of me. Out of nowhere Ashton appeared smiling secretly to a bronze-haired, shy, handsome boy. The shy boy cocked his neck and beckoned me with his pale, fingers. Unable to control myself I ran forward and bit him on his pale flawless neck. I could feel the boy s body crumple in my arms and the burning in my throat stopped momentarily and my fangs escaped back in my gums. I woke up sweating and confused. Who was the shy boy and why did he want me to turn him? What did this dream mean? Uh! I had enough of

Bat Academy: 1
this confusion and this change! I jumped out of bed and tore off my pajamas and replaced them with black jeans, the silver shirt-sweater with the Bat Academy symbol and high-top converse. I washed my face and teeth, and brushed out my golden-brown hair. Beside me lying on the floor was a packet, I tore it open and found my schedule and school map. I put them in my pocket and trudged over to my new desk and booted up my laptop. My pc turned on with a beep and a click! I logged into my Yahoo! And went to my mail. 32 messages, mostly from my best friends Natalie and Brianna. Lord, back home they weren t even that good of friends. They pretty much just copied everything I did. Losers. I flipped through each one and then deleted all. What was the point in responding? I d never seem them again, and I didn t even really like them. What s the point! I shutdown my computer and banged my head against the desk frustrated! I barely got any answers around here and I felt weak and

Bat Academy: 1
core. My brain responded slowly and I didn t like that. I was a fast thinker, always was, always will. Bang! I heard somebody slam his or her fist against the door. My head snapped up and I crossed my abnormally large room in five steps. Right when I reached the steel door it flung open, revealing a handsome, and mysterious Ashton. I looked up at him, and he smiled lazily. Hey, you ready? Ashton asked me, his eyes drawing me closer. They were so perfect, beautiful, big, and bottomless. The rich colors seemed to make me speechless. I looked within me and managed to find my usually confident voice come out of nowhere. You know it. I stated, sounding so sure of myself when I didn t know anything really. I didn t know where the heck he was taking me and if I should be ready. Good. This is a Vampire s nature, pretty soon, you find no pity in doing it. It s what we do to survive. I remember on my first feed, I was so excited. I was glad to be a vampire. And still am. Ashton retorted. I had

Bat Academy: 1
a weird taste in men, Keith a dangerous vampire and now Ashton, which looked like an angel but acted like the devil. And, holy crap! He was talking about killing a human! I couldn t kill anyone and especially a human, which I d been 48 hours ago. I just couldn t suck someone s blood dry, it sounded so painful! I imagined what the blood would taste like and felt my newly formed fangs pop out of my gums and my stomach growl. God, I should be ashamed and yet I m not. I want to drink blood, I want to be soothed from my throat. Where exactly are we going? Like off campus or what? I asked, my stomach growling but feelings slightly queasy. I wasn t meant to be a Vampire. Off campus of course. Demoi wouldn t like if we started feasting amongst other Vamps. And, he has rules about feeding. You re only allowed to go three times a week only during academy hours.. which is 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Also, when you re going out to hunt you have to be at

Bat Academy: 1
least, 20 miles away from our academy. Even though legends about us haven t been around for centuries you don t want them suspecting us. Ashton informed, leading me through corridor through corridor and out 5 stone steps until we reached the crisp, night, air. It was mildly chilly, and windy. The wind picked up my long hair and fanned it out, making me look attractive and untamed. That s at least what it felt like. There was a white, full-moon, out shining above me and Ashton as it were watching us, warning the rest of the world that their actually were creatures of the night. Ashton grabbed my icy hand and led me down the grassy slopes of the campus and out pointy, gothic, gates. He looked down at me and grinned happily. Now we run. Ashton said with a fanged grin and took off at an invisible speed. I could barely see him any more he had flitted

Bat Academy: 1
through trees, like a ghost but faster than any creature I ve ever seen. But, if he could do it , I could too!

I speed through the darkness using Ashton s aftershave scent leading me to him. I ve never had this feeling before, everything was rushing towards me and it looked like I d crash into anything, but I managed to dodge it at the last second. I zoomed past trees, shrubs and animals prowling in the darkness feeding on helpless things, like I would be doing. I could feel the smile plastered to my face and couldn t help it. Nothing, not anything, had ever felt this amazing. Not even kissing Keith. All of a sudden I wasn t on the mossy woodland floor anymore. I was in the arms of a dark angel, Ashton. His blonde ringlets hung in his porcelain, pale face, making him look godly and invincible. I wondered if he had a girlfriend, why wouldn t he? He was smart and attractive.

Bat Academy: 1
We re here. Ashton said, smiling as he spoke. I could see excitement glittered in his eyes.

I followed Ashton s gaze and found a boy my age sitting on a rusty bench. He had beautiful, long, bronze hair and was skinny and average size. From where Ashton and me stared I could tell he was pale and wearing all black. He looked down at the ground and kept wiping his eyes. Whoa, he s crying! I told myself mentally. I looked at him once again and could see shining tears dripping down his pale face. C mon, we don t have forever! Ashton urged, already five feet in front of me. Okay, Okay, sorry! I apologized, bringing myself back to reality. Ashton grabbed my hand once again and pushed me slightly in front of him. I stepped on wet grass and walked slowly and carefully to wear he

Bat Academy: 1
sat. Once I approached him, unnoticeable and soundless, I crouched and sprang. A burst of random energy entered my body and I flung myself on him. My hands grabbed his shoulders, holding him still. The boy looked up and smiled and tilted his head to the side, revealing a pale, flawless neck. An urge so wild and crazy entered my body. Pointy, venom-coated, fangs popped out of my gums and I bit into him. A warm, delectable, taste entered my mouth, flowing freely, I gulped. A amazing sensation entered me, and I felt myself strengthen. My throat no longer burned, I no longer felt weak at all. Everything was tireless, I felt like I could do anything and never tire. As quick as I had done it, it had stopped. I felt him collapse in my arms, and I pulled away. When I looked down, I couldn t believe what I had done! I d killed him, and . OHMYGOD!

Bat Academy: 1
The boy was covered in his blood, and his corpse was colorless. When I took in his appearance, I realized, he was beautiful. His hair was bronze but had strands of copper and gold when the moonlight shown upon it. His skin was a deathly pale, and he was covered in studs, chains and spikes. I just sucked the blood of a hot, Goth, boy. You definitely need more practice! I m going to have to come with you for the next week. You got blood all over him and yourself! Ashton criticized, picking up the boy and holding him like a child. I looked down at myself and indeed, had got his blood all over myself. The new clothes smelled like him, and boy was it good! They were bloodstained and unattractive though! Ashton, I m sorry! I went into kind of a frenzy! What will you do with him? Bury him? Cremate him? I blabbed, sighing deeply and feeling weak in my knees. Madison! If we bury him, he ll dig himself out! Vampires do NOT like

Bat Academy: 1
to be buried. I m sure! Ashton yelled, his plucked eyebrows knitting themselves together. What? What do you mean? Isn t he dead? I screamed, questions burying out my consciousness. And for the second time, everything went black. Chapter Four I opened my hazel eyes groggily. At first all I could see was a white ceiling and a dimmed lantern hanging on a groove off to my right. I sat up, and my head spin wildly, memories came floating back, and I let out a deep, worrisome, sigh. Madison, Someone whispered. My name of his tongue was like a delicie. The speaker said it with love, and care. I quickly turned my head to see who it was, and found my bitee smiling kindly down at me. He was even handsomer close. He hair was illuminated with bronze, copper, gold, and a sun-kissed amber. He eyes were like beautiful

Bat Academy: 1
chestnuts, a rich, brown color. He was wearing all black; like he d been wearing when I d bitten him. His shirt was black, long-sleeved and had the band name Slipknot written on it in blood red stitching. He had skinny, black, jeans with gray hems and metal chains clinging all around his waist. A black stud belt gleamed, and stung my eyes. Madison , The boy whispered again, smiling cutely and shyly. Yes? I answered, curious of who he was, and why he was saying my name. I m Jamie. He said, kicking one high-top converse against my small cot. Hey Jamie I m sorry sorry that I bit you, and didn t kill you blabbed, nauseous eating away at my fragile stomach. No! Madi, you don t understand! I had a terrible life, my parents were terrible you saved me. I wouldn t have minded if you killed me, but I prefer this better! Jamie yelled, grabbing my sweaty hand I

Bat Academy: 1
and squeezing it comfortingly. I didn t know this Jamie very well, but I knew I liked him. I liked his personality, he was shy, but would listen to his heart. And, personally, I liked him calling me Madi it was a new nickname, and right now my life was pretty new. Are you sure? You only had one chance at a regular normal life and I just took that away from you you must hate me! I screamed, tears streaming down my pale face. No! I don t hate you, I m relieved! Jamie protested, and brought me into a comfy hug. All my sadness, anger, and confusion, sizzled down until it was only I and Jamie in the room. I collapsed in his arms, and sighed. We held each other for two minutes until a stern nurse entered the clinic. Me and Jamie broke apart, and his lips stretched into a guilty smile. Madison, over here! The nurse said briskly. She was wearing bright,

Bat Academy: 1
white, scrubs and her straight, gray, hair was piled into a high bun on top of her head. Okay! I replied, hopping up and following her to a steel door with a window in the front. The nurse unlocked it and stepped in. Take a seat. She ordered. I sat down and fidgeted uncomfortably. I felt way calmer with Jamie, and this lady might make me start my nervous breakdown again! I need to know, what you saw or rather dreamt. She questioned, pondering slightly. Her icy stare intensified when my eyes widened in confusion. Excuse me, but what do you mean dreamt? I ve been unconscious! I yelled, my fists clenching at my sides. I really needed to control my temper, it s never been like this! I think I should know. I ve been caring for you. What I m asking is, what did you dream of last night? I need to know, to make sure that

Bat Academy: 1
your healthy and well. We can quite never know what Keith s bites can do. She said, and apparently she found it amusing because she started chuckling unpleasantly. Oh my God! The dream! The one with oh my God! I d dreamt about biting Jamie and he tilting his neck! And, it happened! What the heck? I . dreamt I dreamt about Jamie! I bursted, tears streaking down my face once again. All these confused feelings rushed towards me, and I found myself wanting to go unconscious again. Madison, listen to me. You re supposed to dream of your first kill, and you dreamt of Jamie. You just didn t consume all of his blood. But, you re perfectly healthy. I can get you some medication for depression or trauma if you want. Or we can go set up an appointment with the school guidance counselor? The nurse blabbed putting a wrinkled hand on my heaving shoulders. Neither, it s fine I said, rubbing my eyes free of tears, and sighing

heavily. I ve been so stressful and confused lately I just wanted to go

Bat Academy: 1
to a nice spa treatment and a massage. Most of all, I wanted Keith. Or one of Jamie s comforting hugs. I knocked on the cold steel door that was now Jamie s room. From somewhere within he yelled Come in . I turned the knob and walked into a pitch-black room. The only light was coming from a plasma screen TV. On the screen was something like Halo 3 or Gear of Wars. Jamie was sitting on a modern, black, leather couch a white controller in his pale hands. He wore no shirt; showing his bare pale muscular chest. His jeans were black Tripp s with red stitching and had his fingerless gloves, studs, belts, metal jewelry, and wristbands covering his arms, hands, and neck. Peaking out of a black beanie that read Saosin was Jamie s beautiful bronze hair covering one large hazel eye. Heyyy, I murmured, taking a seat on the couch next to him. Hey. He whispered, eyes never straying from the screen. So, are you going to put it on two players or are you going to be a rude host? I joked, adding a fake stern voice. Jamie laughed, and pushed a

Bat Academy: 1
center button that seemed to pause the game. I m sorry, I m just really into this! Halo 3 just came out, and dude! I m sooo going to beat it in a day! And, they have all of our stuff here! I mean, my guitar, my video games, my snowboard, my skateboard, everything! Jamie blabbed, getting more excited by the minute. Yeah, I was surprised too. I said flatly. I didn t really want to get that much into the past days with Keith breaking my heart and all. Hey, you okay? I know we just met like a day ago.. but I feel like we ve been brother and sister all of my life! Isn t cool how that happens? Some vampires become soul mates when they re made and some become siblings Ash told me a bunch about it. Jamie briefed, putting an arm around my shoulders. Envy crawled inside my skin. Ash? Uh! How did my brother become so friendly, and I not? Did Ashton not like me or something? Uh I don t know anything anymore. Lyrics to a hard metal song came from somewhere inside Jamie s Goth

Bat Academy: 1
pants and he pulled out a taped ghetto flip phone with a cracked screen. I watched him as he opened a text, and smiled. Dude, Madi, do you mind if me and Ash go out and skate? Ash says that he knows where some awesome ramps are, and there are sponsors! Jamie yelled enthusiastically. I sighed dramatically and said Sure, sure Jamie. Text me later. Then I hopped off the couch and went to find a spa.

Wondering around the corridors of BA wasn t exactly my idea of fun. Especially since I was new , and didn t have a definite clue where I was going. I mean, I had trouble finding my room. Along the corridors were torches in metal frames, lighting up the hall in a warm, fuzzy, light. The stone bordering each sides were cool, but, a creepy cool. It just reminded me of one of the Harry Potter movies, and

Bat Academy: 1
I wondered if there were any ghosts here! Walking along the hall, there was a stone flight of stairs, I jogged my way down, shivering slightly. The farther down I went, the colder it got. It was peaceful here, much like the rest of the school. I ve barely seen any kids here, or vampire s. I let go of myself, and let my mind wander. Graphics of biting Jamie, and meeting Demoi flipped through my brain. I was still absolutely confused. I sighed a long, tiresome sigh, and I felt someone(s) whisper from behind me. I whipped around and saw three girls looking at me. They were beautiful. The first one, which seemed to be the leader had flyaway dark curly hair, that was entrancing. Her eyes were a rich dark brown, except they seemed to be different than regular brown. The second girl had stick-straight blonde hair that hung to her waist. She had hazel eyes, and had a dreamy expression. Like a hippie.

Bat Academy: 1
The last girl had golden blonde hair, and huge, wondrous blue eyes. All three of them had the school s bat emblem on their shirts. The first girl beckoned me over to them, so I started walking over to the 3 mysterious musketeers . Which what they exactly reminded me of. Hey, The girl said to me, smiling. Uhm, hi. I said, trying to not be nervous. I m Yasmin, she s Shayla, and that s Alison. Yasmin said, giving me a nice smile. Oh, I m Madison, but just call me Madi. I mumbled, smiling at them. Nice to meet you Madi! Do you want to hang out with us? Were on the weekend right now, so classes aren t starting obviously! But we can show you around and let you know what s going up Alison

offered. I actually would really like to make friends with them, they seemed pretty cool. And obviously, they were friendly.

Bat Academy: 1
That would be really cool of you. I like, don t know anything, so I d like things to kind of be more explained ? I exclaimed, running my slender fingers through my long, brunette hair. Yeah of course! So, lets show you the caf! Alison said, linking her arm through mine(Okay?). We all started walking down a stone corridor towards what I assumed was the caf. Alison had her arm through my left, and Shayla was braiding her hair and exchanging smiles with Yasmin, who was behind us. So how did you guys meet each other? I asked, whomever would answer. Oh we just all saw each other and immediately started talking! Alison babbled. She really loved to talk I guess. Yep, and Alison just brought us together. Cause she talks so much! Yasmin exclaimed, laughing a little.

Bat Academy: 1
We walked down the stone hall, lit with warm lights and I felt nice. Safe even. I really liked these girls. They led me through the caf, library, arcade, classrooms, and blah. All I can say was: I don t remember anything so I need another tour. Hehe.

Chapter Five: I had a creamy colored towel wrapped around my body as I flipped through my wardrobe. It was amazing, I couldn t find anything for the first day of my classes. Nothing felt right! Ahh! I scanned the doors and the dresser when I heard a knock on my door. I yelled very rudely Come In and Shayla walked causally in. She sat on my crumpled, blue, bedspread and raised her eyebrows. Someone is having trouble finding something to wear. She implied. Obviously! I mean, ohmygod. I yelled, looking at the shirts. Shayla

Bat Academy: 1
hopped off the bed and skipped over to my dresser. How about this? She employed. I looked it over, a cute black cami with purple trim. It had a purple stitched bat emblem in the corner. Definitely. Ohmygod, it s so cute! Thank you so much Shay! I gushed, pulling it on over my lace bra. No sweat! She said. I took my tight, expensive, skinny Hollister jeans out of my closet , and sucked in my stomach as I put them on over my Victoria Secret panties. I grabbed my high-tops when Shayla said I knew you had some rebel in you! Smiling, I put them on and walked to my bathroom. I straightened my glossy golden brown hair and applied some eyeliner and mascara to my hazel eyes. I rubbed on some gloss, and smiled. I was okay looking. Shayla was wearing a peace belly shirt that revealed some of her pale smooth stomach and cute cut-off Capri s with Converse. So, Madi, you excited for today? Yasmin asked me. Of course I was

Bat Academy: 1
excited ! I mean it was the first day of my classes. & I was about to go into a coma I was so nervous. My hands were clammy and my heart was fluttering wildly in my chest. I shot her a look, like hello Yas, you should know . Ali, when do they start ? They classes I mean . I questioned, my voice shaking slightly. Soon. Chill Madi, they ll ring the bell to signal us to leave and then they ll ring it again, by that time we should be in class. I ll take you to your first class Lemma see your schedule. She comforted, putting a hand on my shoulder. I ruffled my hand in my stylish black Prada purse and pulled out a creased piece of paper. I opened it and handed it to her. Okay Madi, you have Professor Tanner first, Vampire Studies, he s your homeroom and your first period Ricky has him first too. Oh! OMG, Madi, you and me have Professor Gant together! Yay! He teaches

Bat Academy: 1
Health & Social Ways. Ali spoke, smiling kindly at me. Ricky was her younger brother, hot, my age but ehhh? Well . I started butt was interrupted by a classic school bell. It rung

shrilly from speakers set high in corners. Ringing repeatedly in all their ears, we stood up and walked down a stone corridor splitting different ways.

By the time Nate (Alison s boyfriend), and Ali left me and Yasmin and Shayla the second bell had already rung. We were rushing around the school not sure which way was which. The school map was no use what so ever. Breathless and tired they finally found Tanner s classroom, which was down an empty hall with marble brackets on the sleek shiny walls. I walked in the classroom with them behind me, and tried to take everything in really fast. There was a vast chalkboard with the words

Bat Academy: 1
PROFESSOR TANNER written upon them and 30 or more so desks facing it. Standing in front of the chalkboard stood Prof. Tanner himself. He had smooth pale skin, with a handsome 5o clock shadow. His hair was a groomed dirty blonde and he had pale-blue eyes. He was huge, about 5 9 and smiled a little when we walked in, a guilty look in our eyes. Madison, Yasmin and Shayla, please sit-He paused, closing his eyes as if thinking really hard and then opened them,-at the front. Thank you. And please, please, do not attend class late again or you will get a rather . Boring detention. Handsome Professor Tanner spoke, in a cute but forcing voice. I walked towards the front, and found a desk where I could daydream about Ashton at, but still look like I was captured by the lesson. I was just starting to picture the way the sun glinted of his hair, and the pressure of his hand on my back when I felt something hit the back of my head.

Bat Academy: 1
I turned around, slowly it was probably one of them, passing a note or something. But instead I found a pair of large smoldering chestnut eyes. I smiled. I had homeroom with Jamie. Who I had forgot all about over the weekend. I m sorry but I was preoccupied with Ali, Shayla, and Yasmin. I batted my hazel eyes at him, wondering what he d do, He bit his lip smiled and passed me a folded note. I opened it, smiling, and I saw messy writing meet my eyes. HEY MADI ! DID YOU FORGET ABOUT ME OR SOMETHING? YOU DIDN T COME TO SEE ME AT ALL. YOU DIDN T ANSWER MY TEXT MESSAGES OR COME TO YOUR DOOR WHEN I KNOCKED FOR LIKE FOUR HOURS. DID I DO SOMETHING TO UPSET YOU? YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU. YOU RE MY SOUL MATE. I HAVEN T FIGURED OUT IF IT S A SIBLING BOND OR SOMETHING ELSE. THAT MIGHT BE WEIRD FOR YOU TO SEE, BUT I DON T KNOW. I CARE ABOUT YOU BOTH WAYS MADI. I LOVE YOU. I JUST DON T KNOW WHICH WAY I LOVE YOU. IF THAT MAKES

Bat Academy: 1
ANY SENSE. OKAY WRITE BACK NOW + DON T GET CAUGHT. ASHTON WOULD HAVE MY HEAD. I stared rather amazed. I never would have thought of Jamie as a . Boyfriend. But I should take it into consideration. He is VERY hot. And Well we do have a bond. There is no denying that. But I really liked Ashton so what the heck. I grabbed my pen and I scribbled back. Jamie, Imp not mad at you, I ve just made some new friends and well I ve been busy seeing the castle. Meeting new people. You know how it is. Imp sorry. I love you too. I think. Like, we have a bond. It feels like I ve known you for years but I haven t. So we need to take THAT into consideration. Imp not sure what kind of bond it is either. Why don t we just wait for fate? That would be the best thing to do. Hey, I never get caught with notes. I guess I just have a talent. Ha-ha. Can I ask you a question? I folded it back up and passed it back to Jamie. My note seemed very mature. Ha-ha. Fate what a weird thing.

Bat Academy: 1
I saw the note land on my thighs and I quickly unfolded it under my desk. OKAY FINE WE WILL WAIT FOR FATE. HAHA. WHATEVER THAT IS. WELL YEAH I VE BEEN KINDA BUSY TOO. ASHTON AND ME ARE BECOMING REAL CLOSE. LIKE HE S MY BROTHER. I THINK HE MIGHT BE. HAHA. JUST KIDDING. HE S PROBABLY A COUSIN TWICE REMOVED, NO ONE CAN TELL.. VAMPIRE STUFF. HAHA. YEAH I FEEL KINDA BAD BECAUSE WE SHOULD REALLY LISTEN TO THIS DUDE BUT I LIKE TALKING TO YOU. WHO ARE YOU FRIENDS? IM RATHER JEALOUS. AND SURE, YOU CAN ALWAYS ASK ME ANYTHING MADI.

FINE. Answer my question then throw this away. I kinda want to listen to Handsome Tanner too. Ha-ha. Okay, Do you think I d ever have a chance with Ashton? Just curious you know. And my other friends are YASMIN, SHAYLA and ALISON.

Bat Academy: 1
YEAH MAYBE. I DON T KNOW. HE REALLY KEEPS TALKING ABOUT YASMIN, YOUR FRIEND. MAYBE WE CAN HOOK THOSE TWO UP. SORRY ABOUT THAT MADI. OKAY WHEN I PASS THIS BACK YOU THROW IT AWAY.

I scanned thru it and pocketed it. I didn t want Tanner seeing my throw away a note. Imp sure that would raise some questions. My heart drooped, I really was interested in Ashton, and he liked Yasmin Ugh and Yas is single. So maybe I should try something with Ashton I don t know. I quickly pryed out of my thoughts and tuned in to the lesson. Prof. Tanner was obviously going over Rules, Regulations, and Code of Conduct. Maybe I shouldn t listen. I caught Shayla s eye and we both smirked he wasn t listening in either. RINGGGGGGGGGGG. A shrill noise caught my attention and the class stood up to leave. I grabbed my purse and was about to set off to join

Bat Academy: 1
the girls when I felt a gloved hand grab my elbow. I turned. Jamie. What do you want J? I asked, frowning. Jeez, love you too. Hey, Imp walking you to class. Why? Imp walking with Yas and Shayla. I reported. No your not. You re walking with me. I ve known you longer. He stated. SHAYLA! Jamie called. Shayla wondered over and curiously said Hey, what s up? Do you mind if I take my girlfriend to her next class? Jamie questioned, smirking. IM NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND! I yelled. Hey, dude. Obviously your not dating Madi. Let her go. We are supposed to meet our posse. Shayla exclaimed forcefully her tomboy rough faade coming out a little. Imp just playing . Her and me have a bond. I love Madi. I promise I ll return her safely. Jamie whispered, smiling sweetly.

Bat Academy: 1
Yeah kay . Sorry Madi. See you soon Hopefully. Shayla muttered hastily leaving the classroom.

Jamie let go of my elbow and grabbed my hand, interlocking fingers. He strolled me out of the classroom and into a nook in a corridor. He leaned close, and his lips touched mine. We were kissing. WHAT? WHY? HUH? OMG! I couldn t stop, I didn t want to stop. I wanted Jamie. With a rising fierce passion. Our mouths opened, and I put my arms around his neck. Was this supposed to happen? We finally pulled away and looked into each other s eyes. It seemed as if sparkles entwined a circle around us. But maybe that was my hallucanations.

The rest of the day passed in a blur. As if someone else was viewing it, like I was watching it from someone else s eyes. But I knew I wasn t. Classes were interesting especially Health & Social Ways, Ali and Me talked about Jamie, and what happened. And the class was cool

Bat Academy: 1
because Professor Gant was hilarious. We were talking about different ways our venom could work. As a threat, or as a remedy. By the time classes ended me and Jamie had avoided each other s gazes. It was like we were ashamed. I wasn t. I enjoyed it. I knew I wasn t in love with Jamie. Like, defiantly cute, hot even, but he was like a brother. It just that was like a mending session with my heart. Jamie could fix it back up. But, Imp using him then. Its best to talk to him. That s what Alison had said.

I lay on my blue comforter Alison sitting next to me texting Nate. I pulled my cell from my back pocket and turned it on. I had no new messages. I pulled up Jamie s contact number and wrote him a message: Hey, we need2 talk. ASAP. Rite me back plz. I don t think tht should hv happened.

Bat Academy: 1
Afterwards I waited for a reply, but none ever came. Well, this sucks. My first day of classes and I make-out with Jamie, but totally regret it. And, he s not answering me. Hours passed Alison left for her dorm, and I lay there in the dark just thinking. About tomorrow. And the next day And the next day And the next day His beautiful body distracted me from anything else. Keith was standing there, smiling cruelly. But totally tempting. In his hand was a scroll of paper, with a emblem It wasn t Bat Academies emblem, but something different. More like, a Moon Yeah that s it. A moon with a wolf howling. The scroll was bound tightly with red string, the same color as the emblem. Keith got suddenly blurry I woke up with a start. Confusion surrounding me. Keith was here. Wait I was dreaming about Keith. About Keith and some weird scroll With a moon And clouds? Okay. Weird dream.

Bat Academy: 1
I looked at my clock and it read 7:30 classes started soon. In thirty minutes. OMG. I scrambled out of my bed and yanked off my clothes from yesterday and into a black tee that read Anberlin my favorite band, worn skinny jeans, and my black high tops. I quickly brushed my tangly long brown hair and applied eyeliner and mascara to my eyes. I scrubbed my teeth, grabbed my purse, schedule, and cell and set off towards Professor Tanner s. I wouldn t be late this time. I made my way down the corridor and entered Tanner s classroom. There was only one student here, cleaning the chalkboard. He seemed familiar, the blonde hair . Ashton! Hey Ashton, what are you doing down here? I asked him, smiling. Wow, I forgot how godly he looked. His deep brown eyes, his perfect pale skin. Just doing some things for Professor Tanner. Imp his student assistant. What are YOU doing here? You should be eating breakfast. Ashton scolded me, acting superior. As he often did.

Bat Academy: 1
But, I wasn t bothered, Imp getting to see Him, and talk to Him. Reward enough. I just don t like it when guys are jerks. Which Ashton was getting to remind me of. Imp not hungry. So I came to class early so I wouldn t be late like yesterday. I haven t seen you around lately What have you been up to? I questioned curiously. I wasn t in the mood for flirting, Ashton didn t make it so. Well, Imp obviously older than you. Imp eighteen. Imp a senior. There are different wings. I ve been hanging with your bonder Jamie. He s pretty annoying, but okay How about you? Miss me lecturing you? Ashton said smirking. He was warming up. Yay! Yeah, yeah. I do wish I saw you more though. You should come by to my dorm once in awhile. It would be a nice change . I said flirting. Uh I don t know . Well, Got to fly . Talk to you whenever Madi. Ashton exclaimed. He wiped off his delicate hands on his jeans, and strolled out of the

Bat Academy: 1
classroom. I sighed and sat down at the desk I sat at yesterday. Chalkboard was gleaming and perfect, weird but it was exactly like Ashton, gleaming and perfect. I didn t know why I wasn t freaking out. Well, I knew exactly why I was freaking out, I had a decent but tiny convo with the guy im crushing on! Yay! CHAPTER SIX: The shrill bell rang announcing the start of classes. I had gotten there early, so I had my seat. I watched all the kids pile in, Jamie sit right behind me, Shayla on my left and Yasmin somewhere in the back. Once everyone was seated Professor Tanner came in leading a boy and a girl holding hands. He pointed them to the back seats and began his lecture on Vlad Dracula and blah blah. I twisted around in my seat to look better at the new students. The boy was the same exact height of me, he had pale honey shag hair and dazzling green eyes. His skin was porcelain and flawless as everyone

Bat Academy: 1
else s. He had on dark skinny jeans and a white Abercrombie fitted tee on. His shoes were crisp new Vans. In his pale hand was a smaller, pale hand. The hand of the girl. She was shorter than him, slim, and had long light blonde hair. Her eyes were the biggest vivid blue, looking straight at him lovingly. She wore faded skinny jeans and a tight blue shirt. On her feet were black flats. They looked lovely together. Like perfect. Bonders in love for life. I enjoyed watching them; They made my damaged heart melt, and I was jealous. I envied them; how all they needed was each other. All they wanted was each other. I sighed and turned back around in my seat, Jamie had put a note on my desk. I unfolded it quietly on my lap and started reading: MADI. YOU SAID YOU WISHED TO TALK. OKAY. I LL GET YOU AFTER PROFESSOR GANT S. ILL BE WAITING OUTSIDE. Jamie I turned to look at him, and nodded. It was settled we d finally get to talk About.. Yeah that.

Bat Academy: 1
The bell ended and me and Shay & Yas walked towards second period when we separated and I continued down the hall, outside thru the courtyard, to big blue double doors at the end, I opened them and entered Gym. Uh!! I hate Gym! I looked around, The floors were shiny and polished, and the bleachers new and intimatating. Cliques of kids were milling around, horseplaying or laughing or shooting hoops. There was no Yasmin, or Alison or Shayla. I d have to face Gym alone. I wondered over to the bleachers and climbed up to the very top; overlooking anyone else. One bleacher below me was a couple talking quietly, and a group on my right cracking Yo Mama jokes. I checked out the couple some more, Hey, I was curious. And, OhmyGod is was the new kids!! Oooh! I walked down a bleacher and approached them. They both raised their attractive heads and stared at me. Hello Your new? I asked politely, sitting next to the girl.

Bat Academy: 1
Yes, me and my bonder David. Imp Emmaline. She said glancing at David. Well, hey then Emmaline and David! Imp Madison, but call me Madi, my friends call me that. I said smiling. It d be cool to have them as friends, learn about them and such. Okay then Madi. Nice meeting you! Imp so glad, I have someone to talk to, Besides David. Ha-ha, Just kidding David, I love you. Emmaline joked, kissing David on the cheek afterwards. He smiled and wrapped her up in his arms, leaning his head against hers. I smiled and said talk to you later. I had gotten a jealous twinge again. The bell rang, I picked up my bag and walked towards Professor Gant s, I had a chat with Jamie and a class with Alison too look forward to.

Bat Academy: 1
So, wait tell me this, You are falling in love with Ashton, but you love Jamie also, and you know it s a brotherly love but you think he loves you in . like boyfriend girlfriend way Okay I kinda get it now! Alison whispered to me in Vampire Soc. Yeah pretty much. Its really confusing me. I don t know why really. Anyways, Jamie and me are going to sort it out after class. So, I hope that goes well. I mumbled back. I thought about what I d say to Jamie while finishing my essay on Ways To Approach a Wild Vampire. Ha-ha. When the bell sounded I jumped out of my chair and ran out the door, Jamie was waiting right there. I grabbed his hand and he led me to a empty corridor. It kinda reminded my of last time. Uh. He let go of my hand and slid down the wall to the floor, I copied him. Madi Yes, What is it Jamie? When we kissed I loved every milli-second of it. I love you, I do Madi.

Bat Academy: 1
But I have feelings for someone else Someone you may be surprised at. Jamie whispered, and me, shocked deep within me. Who then? Try and surprise me. I said coldly. He raised his head surprised. I leaned forward and kissed him, twisting his hair in my fingers, pressing him close to me. His lips responded. He matched my lips with his, kissing fiercly and angrily the whole time. I just wanted Him. But, i didn t. It was just us, us and our lips. I pulled away my lips swollen and numb. He looked at me, and pulled me towards him, so I was laying on him in the middle of a school corridor. You.. Jamie said smiling, and kissing the top of my head. I grabbed his hands, and enjoyed myself, listening to the pounding of his heart, and the heat of the kiss still in my cheeks. How could someone be so wrong ? Weird. We stood up and walked hand in hand to the caf where we met Nate, Ricky, Alison, Yasmin, Shayla, David and Emmaline all watching us open mouthed.

Bat Academy: 1
I walked over to the table and sat down next to Alison. What d you want beautiful? Jamie asked me. Pizza with a coke please. I responded squeezing his hand. He gave me a dazzling smile and walked off. I glanced at Ali, she looked confused, because I said I wanted Ash, but got Jamie and I probably looked like this was the happiest day of my life. And it by far was not. The happiest day of my life was the day I met Keith. Which bugs the crap outta me. He destroyed my delicate heart!! Plus, he turned me into a Vampire, used me, and Well yeah that s pretty much it. But I thought I had found the love of my life. Obviously, I was wrong. Thinking of Keith he was actually sitting at the table in front of me flirting with his stupid Italian girlfriend. On the other side was Ashton. Picking at a cheese pizza. I checked out Keith, he wore a checkered flannel shirt, levi s and converse. Competely cute. There was a big bark of laughter and he had

Bat Academy: 1
fell on the floor, and she toppled right on top of him. A scroll fell right out of his pocket and under our table. I looked around no one seemed to have noticed it. I bent down and hastily stuffed it into my purse. Chapter Seven: I was alone in my dorm, no one to peek in either, there were no windows. I opened my purse and grabbed the scroll. What would I find inside? I didn t have a answer to that one. I unraveled the scroll and was found face to face in a language I didn t know. It was definantly not Spanish or French. I had no answer to what tongue it was. I rolled it back up and inspected it. It was old, yellowish paper, ancientlike. On top of the scroll was red wax. Pressed into it was a wolf howling at the moon. Weird. I escaped into my thoughts for five minutes, I knew I d seen the emblem before, but where? Not in person .

Bat Academy: 1
My dream!! That was it; I dreamt about Keith holding it!! And Keith had it today. I needed to find what it said. I had to find out what my ex was up too .. These wolves howling at moons.

I stepped into my hot shower, I just needed relaxing. I let the searing water sink into my bones and massage. Hot showers were like therapy. Exactly like therapy. I grinned to myself. God, I was a mess. I flipped thru my complicated thoughts, Jamie, who was a guy I liked. But not loved. Never love. Only Keith and Ashton can really capture my heart. My head started pounding wildy, my throat burning terribly. I felt like crap Uh Oh! I needed blood. I hadn t fed in forever. It wasn t healthy for me Tomorrow. Tomorrow I d get Alison to go hunting.

Bat Academy: 1
Fun fun!

Don t Trust Me by 3oh!3 woke me up this morning. Groan I wish I could sleep. Well I could but I had to feed. I rolled out of bed and pulled on a white fitted tee and Levi skinny jeans. I slipped on my high-tops and closed the door behind me. I walked half-way down the corridor and turned at 146 Alison s room. Knocking twice, Ali finally threw open the door wearing plaid short shorts and a pink sweat shirt. Her brown hair was brushed into a tight pony tail while mine was in a sloppy bun on top of my head. Ha-ha. Im sure I was a sight. We walked down the steps to the majestic Bat Academy and into the woods. Try to keep up girlie. Ali yelled flitting into the dark forest. I smirked and took off at top speed thru the forest. Dodging branches and tree s. Everything was passing me like a blur, Im sure we were

Bat Academy: 1
going faster than any car; or vehicle. This was different. This was vampire speed. Nothing can top that! I caught glimpses of pink ahead of me. I pushed myself harder my legs moving so fast; You couldn t keep gaze on them. I pumped my arms harder and harder and lost the pink behind me. I was in the lead; I didn t lose my speed. Kept pushing myself farther and farther, my breathing at a even pace, though my brain was tired. I ran into the edge of the forest and stopped. Grinning. Congrats Madi. That was lucky, Im still sleepy. Ali laughed. We both started grinning and laughing so hard; the fact that that was fun. And we needed fun. Okay, okay. Shhh. Lets look for someone. I whispered grabbing her hand and leading on the edge of the forest, staying in the shadows. I scanned the park and my eyes swept over the bench where that young boy once sat. Crying his beautiful eyes out.

Bat Academy: 1
I remember so clearly. I shook the memory again, and looked for any people wandering around. There was no one. Me and Alison had to go into the city. Ali, we have to go into the city. Um Have you ever been?? I asked. Yeah, Its awesome Madi. Nate took me and Ricky. Here take my hand and we have to find a car. I prefer the nice one s. Ali muttered grabbing my hand and started walking across the street and down the side walk. I was skittish, I wasn t used to people who weren t vampire s. And going into the city? Crazy talk. Well I did need someone. And Alison was experienced with the city; Unlike me. We walked past two story houses with vans and cars in their drive ways. Alison finally stopped at a white house that had a black Infiniti in the drive way. It was sleek; not a fingerprint or smudge anywhere on it.

Bat Academy: 1
Perfect; Was a good word. Alison let go of my hand and walked over to it. No one would see us, we could blend. And we were quieter than quiet. She walked to the driver s window and look in. No keys. Alison tried the handle, locked; Of course. There was no way in. Unless she broke in .? I watched as Alison scraped her painted sharp fingernail on the window, she repeated the motion, a tiny circle, over and over again. After the sixth time the little glass circle fell. Making a hole in the window. Ali reached her delicate hand in and unlocked the door. She climbed in and five minutes later the engine was purring. She beckoned me in, and I quietly climbed beside her in the Infiniti. Ali! What did you do?? Chill Madi. We just hijacked a really nice car. Um hijacked? Yeah girlie. I used my nails to unlock the door and then I rewired

Bat Academy: 1
stuff Um So we hijacked it. Nice huh? Nate taught me how, he s a criminal mastermind haha! Ali laughed. Oh wow. Very criminal So are we returning it? Or stealing it? I think they ll notice if we don t bring it back.. I whispered, my voice tremblig. I was worried if cops came. We were both only 16. Hun, its okay. Of course were returning it. Were not criminals were vampires. There s a difference. Ha-ha. Very funny. What are we going to do about the hole in the window? I asked eyeing the hole. I would definantly notice that. Oh my God.., You pay no attention in Prof. Gants d you? Jeez. Well, you know our nails? Their really really inhumanly strong, can cut thru almost anything. And our saliva can repare almost anything. So watch this. She spit on her finger and rubbed it around the edge of the circle of glass. Then she stuck it in the hole.

Bat Academy: 1
I watched as it re-grew missing bits of glass and stuck itself perfectly and flawlessly in the window pane. Wow. You must really like that class. I never knew that Ali. Yeah figured Madi. You are in way too deep with stress. I mean, tonight s gonna be fun. Trust me. It will help get your mind off of stupid things like Jamie. Eww! He s so ugly! Alison spoke giggling to herself. Hey! J is not ugly. He s actually really hot. AND he s my boyfriend so back off! I growled smilingly. Ha-ha. Yeah he is hot. Very. But frowns on the clothes style. Haahaha. I agree with you on that one. He is a little to gothic for my liking. Mmhm. I reached over and found my favorite station. New-age hip hop and pop. Kanye West was singing.. or rapping to Knock You Down.

Bat Academy: 1
Alison reached over and turned it up really loud, almost all the way to max and rolled down all the windows. For any human their ear drums would be protesting. But for a vampire; not so bad. I closed my eyes and sunk into the music, humming the tune, and enjoying the wind blow on my face.

I felt the hijacked car come to a stop. I opened my eyes and grinned. Finally. We were in the city. We got out of the car and Alison led me to a club. We walked up to the guard and he took one look at me and Ali and moved aside. It had to be the looks. I was automatically awakened by loud rock music, pulsing. Tons of bodies dancing everywhere, bumping and partially landing on me. I pushed people out of my way and followed Alison.

Bat Academy: 1
She walked towards the back of the club where their were sofa s and couches. Couples sat kissing and talking on most of them. I was reminded immediately of Keith It was so like him. This club, he d probably taken a couple girls here. We walked over to a black leather couch and sat down. So Alison So Madi . Ha-ha. Which one will you go for? What? Omg! Madi! Whats your dinner? Oh.. I looked around. There were muscle guys, skinny guys, emo guys, cute guys, tons of guys. One caught my eye, he was sitting across from our couch, sitting alone, drink in hand. He had shaggy brown hair and was wearing all black. A black dress shirt and black jeans. Very cute.

Bat Academy: 1
Soo ? Oh um.. Him. I said moving my head towards where he sat. Nice. Goth is your style. Ha-ha. Totally. So what about you? Who s catching your eye? Him. She said beckoning a guy checking her out. He had short spiked blonde hair, brown eyes and was wearing preppy clothes. You go for the rich boys. Totally Ali replyed before going over to him. I watched her meet the guy and him leading her to a dark corner. I was nervous; I had no clue what to do --Sigh I stood up and walked over to where he sat and fell in a heap next to him. He looked up and grinned. Hey there. He whispered. Um hi. Im Troy. . Mckenzie. You are .?

Bat Academy: 1
Ohh D you want to go somewhere private? Yeah .. I guess I said grinning. He took my hand and led me to where Alison and that guy were kissing. We sat down in a single chair and he pulled me on his lap. I hated this sleazy crap. But I needed to feed. And Alison obviously liked it. We leaned forward and started kissing, he was into it. I was hating it. But, hey. I moved my lips to his neck and kissed it softly then I bit. My fangs sunk in, and his body lost consciousness. The blood flowed into my thirsty mouth and I drank. I drank like a dehydrated little kid. This was paradise, this was heaven. I kept sucking and drinking, and finally I pulled away. I was done. I stood up spit onto my hand and rubbed it on the wound; no one saw, and no one would know a thing. Sure . Um .

Bat Academy: 1
I looked over and Alison was grinning; she had her fill too. I walked over and together we left the building and got into the car once again. So. Did you love that or what? Uh-huh. I needed that blood more than I thought. Nooo! Not that! Did you like the guy?? No. I don t know him; I don t even know what color eyes he has. Does eye color really matter? Uh duh. Im not really into that . Kissing and making out to get blood thing. I d rather do it the way Ashton does it. Ashton? Ashton does the same thing as me. He s the one who told me about it. What? He didn t do it that way with me. Well he doesn t like you. I gasped. How could she? This was .. heart breaking. My best friend saying that to me. It was more than I could take. I thru open the door

Bat Academy: 1
and jumped out. I rolled down a hill and into mud. Gross. I could hear her yelling for me and walking down the hill. I lay there in the smelly mad, tears welling up. Madi! Madi, Im so sorry! I didn t mean to say that! He likes you,. Its just that I hate when you talk about him so much! Im so sorry! Im such a terrible person I swear.. I will never ever ever ever say anything mean again!! I love you Madi, your like my sister, my best friend forever! Never leave me!! Im sooooo sorry! Please!! Don t hate me Madi! Alison screamed tears falling down her pretty face and hugging me. I pulled out my arms and hugged her back. I couldn t imagine if someone was watching us what they would think. Two teenage girls crying and hugging in stinky mud. Woooow. I just relized it was very stupid to jump out of a moving car.

Bat Academy: 1
Ali! Ali! Its okay That hurt. But I know you didn t mean it like that! Its okay I love you too. You re my sister and my best friend forever. Always. I ve never had a friend like I have you. I whispered. Thank you Madi! Thank you for not hating me! Never Ali!

We both picked ourselves up from the mud and giggled the way back to the home of the hijacked car. Alison easily parked it back and we ran back to Bat Academy. Chapter Eight I woke at 10 p.m. and my head was clear and normal. No more headaches. I dressed and walked down to the caf where Ali and Nate were arguing. Hey Whats up? I asked cautiously. I didn t want to get dragged into boyfriend-girlfriend issues although I had plenty of those. Nate is breaking up with me! Ali sobbed, tears falling down her face.

Bat Academy: 1
WHAT? Madi, I m NOT.. Alison thinks I m cheating on her! Nate said looking mad. We were in love Nate. How could you? Alison cried. I ran to her and put my arms around my best friend. How could Nate? They were in love . But love fails sometimes. And in this relationship it did. Nate, who? I whispered. I DIDN T CHEAT ON HER. OMG?! UGH! Get away from me Nate! You LIAR! Alison screamed. Nate jumped out of his seat and ran out of the caf. I held a sobbing Alison in my arms, and cried with her. Failing relationships were so sad. Later on I walked her to her room and put her to bed. Crying makes

Bat Academy: 1
you tired, and she had classes tomorrow. Which she d probably miss. I left her room and tried to talk Ricky into not killing Nate. Madi! He broke my sister s heart! That s . terrible He said crying.

We all felt for Alison, and we all were hurt that one of our best friends betrayed us. I know. But killing doesn t solve anything. Just give him a black eye for me please? Gladly. He kissed my cheek and ran off.

I walked to the arcade, Jamie wanted me too meet him there. He was sad about Alison, but he didn t know her. So he didn t really care. Anger surged thru me, about Nate who cheated on Ali, or maybe he didn t.. UGH and about my boyfriend . Who was . Amazingly nice but not Ashton.

Bat Academy: 1
I reached the dark black lighted room and found Jamie wearing studs and all black. Sigh Of course. Hey babe Jamie whispered kissing me on the cheek. He led me to a sofa and held my hand. Yo. Ha-ha Um what? You said yo. So? Never mind, Whatev. Why are you . Disconnected? Disconnected? You know what I mean Madi. Yeah I know exactly what you mean.

Bat Academy: 1
Soo ? Whats with you? Why are you like this? Aren t you happy? No Why not?! Your with your boyfriend. Yeah I am. Oh my freakin God. What is with you??!! Omg. Are you really asking me that Jamie? My best friend has a broken heart and she feels like crap. I feel mad and sad and confused. And your asking me to be happy? Im sorry that happened. But you had a broken heart, you fixed it. Things work out, and things don t. Be happy though, Im with you. Ugh! Your making me angry! Madi, I just want us to work out Us? Us is over! I yelled standing up and stomping out of the arcade. A wave of relief came over me. I was finally free of that choice, If he ever said anything about it. I d reply with a simple Things work out an

Bat Academy: 1
thing s don t Ha-ha. Finally I was done with Jamie, finally I could move onto the one guy that really mattered to me. Ashton. I mean I liked Jamie, as a brother. A boyfriend though? NO. I couldn t, he gets me mad, and stressed. And I question everything with him there, and I feel guilty. Because I KNOW I don t love him.

I found him in the Library working on papers and reports. Hey Ash. Oh, hey Madi. What are you working on here? Vamp Soc., what are you working on? Nothing, mind if I sit here? Nope. Just don t disturb me please. This is important. No prob.

Bat Academy: 1
I watched him. His golden locks of hair falling into his chocolate brown eyes. He was so beautiful; more so than anyone here, anyone anywhere. He plopped his thick book onto the wooden table and sighed. I can t work with you here, Oh, Im sorry Ashton, I ll leave. No, no, no. Stay. Okay!! I said a little too eagerly. So how s life. Tell me all the drama. Wow its a lot. Spill; Well it started with my bonder Jamie, we had a bond, duhh. But we didn t know what kind so J experimented and we kissed, and then another time we kissed and he asked me out, I said yes. Except I know he s meant to be my brother. Not even that, maybe my enemy. That s what our bonding relationship is. I just dumped him very harshly. And I

Bat Academy: 1
don t think he ll want to forgive me for it. Wow. That s . major? Yeah and my best friend Alison was going out with one of my other best friends named Nate, and he dumped her. So she s a terrible mess. They were in love . Oh, that sucks!... But um . So why did you dump him? I really like someone. May I ask who? Sureeee.. Who? A senior . Mmm I think I might know.. Um yeah.. That s cool, I like a junior. Really??

Bat Academy: 1
Yeah, would you like to come to the movies with me on Friday? I would love to! Okay, cool! See you then! Bye! I walked out of the Library I felt great, super special awesome! But guilty, Alison was in mourning when I was super happy. I can t believe I had a date with the love Ashton Cooper. This was great! This was .. fantastic! Yay! I ran to the caf to find Emmeline and David, they were the only people I could talk too really. Even though I didn t know them that well. I liked them; they were sweet. I found them in Emmaline s room playing video games. Ha-ha to the video games part. David handed me a controller and beat me and Emmaline at Halo 3. Of course; I suck at that game.

Bat Academy: 1
That s when I told them about Jamie, everything about Jamie about Keith the dreams, Alison and Nate, and me and loving Ashton. Jeez; Madi. That s too much drama for one person, how do you deal with it all? Its hard David. I hate it! But the Jamie drama s gone, but replaced with hatred. And I can finally be with the guy I want. I don t know how Ali and Nate are going to work things out though . Oh my God!! Madi, library! Now. Emma you can come if you want ? Of course David. Okay, c mon ladies!! David led us down the boys dorm corridor to the main hall, then he descended the steps to the dungeons, which were the library chambers. He walked over to a book shelf and grabbed a dusty thick volume and opened it on a nearby desk. Look. Languages. Let me see the scroll. David announced.

Bat Academy: 1
I took out the scroll and unraveled by the book. He scanned it with his eyes and a confused look appeared upon his face. It seems to be the language of the Wolf . Or werewolf, being more precise. David replied, in a monotone, green eyes searching and translating the words. Tell me what it says. I commanded. In the night of the Full Moon, on December Twenty-second, the oath shall be complete. The gates will open, and chaos will reveal. The deal will be sealed, nothing can be changed. The oath of the night, without the light. David read, confusion clouding his face once again. Um I don t get it at all. Emmaline said lazily, playing with David s hair. Me either.. I whispered. It was confusing, why did Keith have some weird Werewolf oath thingie with him? Strange.

Bat Academy: 1
Hey, Madi, you mind if I borrow this? Just to do some research you know? Yeah sure, whatever.

I was alone in my dorm. Thankfully. The tremors of drama, leaving me alone! Yes. The warm bath water was comforting, and I sighed. Heavily, the days I ve been having have been the most awful. I mean, Nate breaking up with Ali, and me using Jamie ever-so-harshly and breaking up with him. And, just everything I guess. I was just sick of these b.s. It totally sucks! I just wanted to make things right, to feel calm in my soul, no more stressful nights or worrying about everything, and my feelings. Cause I just wanted to try to have a regular high school life. Even though that was like, pretty much impossible. I mean, hello! I live at a vamp school! Jeesh!

Bat Academy: 1
I got dressed in my comfy jeans, and pulled on my big baggy navy hoodie that said UF and piled my hair onto a messy bun on my head. I grabbed my big sunglasses, phone and schoolbooks and walked out the school s doors.

The morning, yes morning! Even though im a vampire, I can still go out, even though it kind of bothers me. Like, the sunlight is irritating, kind of like your really uncomfy, and it feels all staticky everywhere. But anyways the morning was brisk, gloomy and chilly. There was a big wind every so often, and I plopped down on the green grass of BA. I was going to think, study, and text message. I pulled off my converse and grabbed my Vamp Health book. We had to read a entry for medicine while fighting off dangerous enemies of the vampire.

Bat Academy: 1
There was mostly, potions, that we would be making later on, like the Bone Regrow-generation of Bones potion. Yeah, long boring title. But it seemed kind of cool After studying, I opened my phone. And decided to text Alison. I mean, hey, why not see how she s doing? I typed: Hey hun. How ru? Hart hurtng? Beep, beep, beep. I checked the phone. It ws. But not anymre. Yas & Shay took me 2 c a movie!(: Aww. How sweet of them! Alison needed something to cheer her up, but I did feel kind of guilty, I should ve been taking her to see a movie. I typed to her: O. Lucky. Which 1? & 2moro GNO? She replied with:The Stepfather & gno? :Ya. Girls nite out!(: :O. Sounds lik fun! Cant wait sista(: I ll tell YAS AND SHAY!!! :Good. Ily! Gtg. Have fun hunnie!(: :will do(;

Bat Academy: 1
I shut off my phone, things with Alison were okay. Drama was over in that area of expertise. But I was curious about Keith, very curious. I mean seriously. Where did he get the scroll from? And why! I picked myself up from the ground and my stuff. Walking up the steps to the school I dropped my books and such off at the dorm and went to the arcade. Maybe I would find Keith.

Noises of games, and laughter were everywhere. Ugh. I never liked arcades, they always seemed boring and unethical. Hehe. Unethical! I looked everywhere, I easily found mister Jamie, feeling all up on some chick. But no Keith. I left for the caf. Maybe they were their? And sure enough, yes. Keith sitting all alone at a table. I pushed my luck and walked up to him. Hey Um, what do you want? He snarled.

Bat Academy: 1
Nothing, talk you know. Why? I dunno. Found something of yours, Like what? Nothing just a something. Stop being immature and tell me already! Jeesh. Ah. Stop being mean, and apologize. For what?! Making me this. Aren t you glad? Your immortal, sexy, and smart. And you can pretty much have anything, and do anything. No I am not glad. My life is in chaos. Uh. Well, that s your fault. Mine s not. Huh. Bye Madison. What?

Bat Academy: 1
Keith got up from the table and left. His cute figure perfect In his designer clothes. I decided to go back to my dorm and wait for my bestie to come find me.

Hello? Madison, you in there? I heard a muffled voice, and wondered, was that Alison? Mmm . Should I get up? MADISON! I heard her yell, I sprung out of bed and flung open the door. What? Are you okay? I yelled breathlessly. Yeah, perfect! Alison laughed, flipping her hair. Why did you yell? I asked. Knotting my eyebrows together. Because sweetie, you weren t answering. Ohh, right! I grinned. You look like crap. She stated.

Bat Academy: 1
Thanks, feel like it too. Why? Alison asked me. Why wouldn t i? I broke up with Jamie, and he hates me! Keith hates me! And im gonna go on a date with Ashton. I am just flipping out and stressed out! I yelled, Mmm . Welllll, I know what we ll do tomorrow then. What? Feed, and then go to the spa. But this time, no hoe feeding. We are going to be mature peoples. Mmkay, that sounds promising. It will be, now get some rest. Okay, I woke up, and rubbed my eyes, I was groggy, and it was way too early. My alarm clock read 3 A.M. I heard something in my dorm, and listened. Alison next to me was crying quietly, she was trying to muffle it and pretended to be asleep. She was what woke me up.

Bat Academy: 1
I leaned over and hugged her, and fell back into a coma.

I bolted upright. Ignorance by Paramore was blasting straight into my freakin ear! OWWW. I slammed my hand on it and trudged to the shower. Humph. Alison was making me wake up way to early for this. My throat burned, and I remembered exactly what I was going to do. UGH. I screamed, yelling out in frustration. I thought I could have anything I wanted here. Why was I unhappy?! I furiously turned off the shower, and dressed in: tight, black skinnies, a big grey hoodie. I put on my converse. My mood was black, dark, I was grumpy, not like myself, I had many of these days back home. I was sexy and gothic, when I was usually peppy and girlie. Not freakin today. I brushed my hair, and usually pinned my side bangs cutely, I let them hang down, and put on more eyeliner than usual and walked out the door to Ali s room.

Bat Academy: 1
I remembered her crying, and didn t wanna take out my mood on her, she left when my alarm went off to get dressed. She would understand my emo raw look today. She opened the door before I knocked, and linked my arm through hers leaning her head against my shoulder. She was wearing unisex black basketball shorts, and a baggy blue FL GATORS shirt. Her hair was in a bun, and she wore no makeup. Ali looked absolutely tired; plenty reasonable given she was crying herself to sleep last night. I thought you said you were okay? I asked her lightly, not prying. I lied. I thought you said you were okay questioned me. I lied. We re both not okay.. I said leaving that sentence unfinished. Oh, most definitely. We need blood, and a massage, and girl time to talk about everything. We need to catch up, and let ourselves go She answered and

Bat Academy: 1
When im hurting I look like this.. She told me honestly looking at herself disgustedly. When im hurting I look like a emo girl. I dunno, I tend to dress how im feeling, and this isn t good at this moment. Yasmin and Shayla trudged towards us yawning. Yas s dark hair was in a messy bun also and she was wearing a soccer shirt and shorts with flip flops. Shayla s hair was in braids and she was wearing a belly shirt with jeans. Lets hurry up and get out of here! Alison yelled, and pulled me running vamp speed out the door and through the woods. Grins plastered on our faces we crept in the shadows made by the willowy tree s and searched for possible prey. We weren t smiling at the thought of sucking and killing someone, but more that it felt wonderful smelling the blood, and running, and being free, not thinking about the shiz in our crap-filled life. Which is how we both thought of it.

Bat Academy: 1
I spotted two cute jocks, passing a soccer ball around, and beckoned Ali over to check em out. Hmm, pretty meaty Okay, lets go for them. Alison said, and ran, too quick for human eyes, and pounced on one of the boys, I ran frantically forward and landed on the other boy. We dragged them gently to the shadows, kissed their foreheads and bit them, sucking their blood dry. When I was done feeding, I couldn t look into the dead boys eyes. I would fear I would see fear, shock, and the evil in me showing there. I felt his limp, lifeless body, and let myself go. I fell back on the packed dirt, and started crying. Alison squeezed my hand, and went to do the dirty work. Burying these cute, boys, who have lives, or used to. I know we blessed them, by kissing their foreheads, causing them only pleasure. And, I know Ali was gentle, laying them in a bed of soft, dirt with lemon-smelling leaves around them. But I couldn t bear to think, we took them away from

Bat Academy: 1
their education, their life, family and friends. Probably their girlfriends. We just killed them, ended their life, and ruined the people s lives that they touched. And here we are burying them, continuing with our lives. I thought to myself, no more. I wouldn t take young lives away from anyone ever again. It was evil, it was wrong. And it made me feel sick. I don t know how I was to feed, but it wouldn t be to kill, and it wouldn t be on anyone with a life worth living. Cause that s not right. I whispered to Alison that I would be on the swings. Swings are the most romantic thing ever. I remember when Keith used to swing me there, us holding hands, me on his lap. Him kissing me, passionately, and so in love we seemed. Or maybe that was just me. My mind doesn t seem to grasp that he lied. He seemed so true, honest, loyal. I looked out and saw Yasmin playing with the soccer ball, her and Shayla went somewhere else to feed. Yasmin was so talented with the

Bat Academy: 1
ball, she would do little secret tricks, and then, BAM, it would go sailing through the ail. I collapsed in a heap on the rusty swing, and put my hoodie on and over my head, pulling the hood up. I felt the clear tears running down my flawless hurt face. Are you okay? I heard a handsome young voice ask. I immediately looked up. A hot boy was standing looking at me. He had light brown shag hair that was layered and kinda long (a little past his eyes) it was swept to the side. He was tan, thin, yet muscular. I could see his big, curious, blue eyes looking at me, evaluating. He was wearing a plaid flannel shirt, partially unbuttoned so I could see his golden chest. On his legs were skinny levi s, tight, but not tight, and on his feet, nothing. He was hot, and he looked helpful. I sniffled, and whispered oh nothing .

Bat Academy: 1
He walked over to me, and sat next to the swing next to me. Wowww, he looked like a younger Chace Crawford.. Whats your name? He asked me, smiling a little. I took a deep, calming, breath before I responded. Madison, but call me Madi.. I replied, wiping the rest of the tears from my eyes. Okay, hey Madi. Im Cameron. You live around here? Cameron, what a hot name Nope. Just with my friend, she s visiting some old friends.. I lied quickly. I never have been the best liar, and I was kinda upset at the moment. Plus, I didn t even know this dude. But he was hot, so he was cool. Ohhh. You don t have to answer this, because I don t know you. But, I am curious, and a little.. worried, cause you look like you need a hug. Cameron whispered, caringly. Wowww. Okay, we ll see about that. Whats your question then?

Bat Academy: 1
Why were you crying? Because, and its okay that you ask, im sure a look a little weird. And im not emo, or anything. I tend to dress on my mood, and today my mood is gloomy. But, I have a bunch of stress in my life, like ugh. You wouldn t understand at all. I told him, twirling my hair in my fingers. How would I not understand? Because im not like you. Oh, totally not like you. Ohh really now? I know what you are. I saw what you did. I froze, my fingers turned icy, and I stared at him coldy. I stood up and ran to him, faster than the human eye. He wasn t fazed, just sure looking. And what now did I do?

Bat Academy: 1
You sucked the blood of Kenny and Brent. Vampireeeeeeeeee, is what you are. He whispered, confident, not a ounce scared, he drew out the word vampire . I looked coldy at him, and whispered. How did you see? Because, im a werewolf. I froze again. Alison would have laughed, but lately no. No, all the moon papers, they were scaring me, the dreams. I believe you.. Good because it s true, your people are in danger, you don t know what he s planning, He said, fear growing on his face, he shuddered,

his body image changing for a instant. Like he flickered to a wolf and back to human. I stepped back, a little freaked.

Bat Academy: 1
CAMERON S POINT OF VIEW: I heard her crying. It was hard to listen to, I didn t like when people were hurting. I was confused, vampire s enjoyed killing, and enjoyed the blood running down their throat s. But she didn t seem like she enjoyed it all too well. And neither did the other one. I was upset, Kenny and Brent had been my friends, and they were taken by the vamps. I couldn t have saved them though, it would just start a war between us. I walked up to the crying scene girl on the swing set. She was beautiful, more beautiful than any other vampire I d ever seen.

Bat Academy: 1
Are you okay? I asked. I heard her sniff and say oh nothing . Wow, some people thought guys were dumb. Whats your name? I asked her, sitting down on a swing next to her. . Madison, but call me Madi.. She replied, wiping the tears falling from her big, hazel eyes. Okay, hey Madi. Im Cameron. You live around here? Nope. Just with my friend, she s visiting some old friends. I frowned, she didn t have to lie, werewolves always knew when they were being lied to. But then again, she thought I was just some human. Ohhh. You don t have to answer this, because I don t know you. But, I am curious, and a little.. worried, cause you look like you need a hug. I whispered. This was true, she was sexy, and she looked downright sad. Okay, we ll see about that. Whats your question then? Why were you crying?

Bat Academy: 1
Because, and its okay that you ask, im sure a look a little weird. And im not emo, or anything. I tend to dress on my mood, and today my mood is gloomy. But, I have a bunch of stress in my life, like ugh. You wouldn t understand at all. I chuckled to myself, okay, me won t understand?! Wow. And, how I hate stereotypes.. emo , how effen lame. How would I not understand? Because im not like you. Oh, totally not like you. Ohh really now? I know what you are. I saw what you did. She froze, and her gaze turned cold, and she ran to me, any human wouldn t have seen. But I was no human. And what now did I do? You sucked the blood of Kenny and Brent. Vampireeeeeeeeee, is what you are. I whispered, I wanted to approach her carefully. She seemed new, and not at all aware with her powers.

Bat Academy: 1
She looked at me angrily and whispered. How did you see? Because, im a werewolf. I expected a laugh from her, something that would humor her, and turn from me like I was a freak. But no, she did that exact opposite. I believe you.. Good because it s true, your people are in danger, you don t know what he s planning, I whispered, fear crossing my face. He was the

only thing that truly scared me. That made me want to give up, and give in. Madi looked at me and sat down on the swing once again, Cameron, tell me how it works getting paler. One night I was coming back from my girlfriend s it was late, and I had been drinking, I remember feeling something pounce. And when I woke She asked me, her pale, somehow

Bat Academy: 1
up, I was this. Exactly the same, except had the option whenever I want to change into wolf. Where do you live? And who are you with? Madi asked me, curiousity lighting up her features. She no longer looked upset, but intrigued. Im with my wolf pack, there are many, but we are the biggest. And I can t tell you where we live. It s a secret. I told her, and started to swing. Tell me about the pack.. In my pack, there are at least 5000, I told you a lot. Girls and boys. A couple are my brothers for life. Only three. They know about the evil, what He s planning. Fear coursed through me again, and I felt myself flicker. I watched as she automatically leaned back, a little freaked out. Why do you do that? Change Im not allowed to change without my elite s, that s my three brothers. Your elite are the one s who have given you some blood, all three have,

Bat Academy: 1
and I have to them, and we re bonded for life. I can t change without them, and they can t without me. But we flicker, when we re feeling powerful emotion, and we feel like protecting ourselves. I stated. That s amazing She whispered and leaned forward.

I stopped the swing from swinging with my shoe, and leaned forward, we both shivered. There was a electric shock when our lips touched. We sprang apart, and looked at eachother. I felt my body flicker, and I whispered Im sorry . And took off at my inhumanly fast werewolf speed.

MADI S POINT OF VIEW

There was no denying the fact that I felt the zing. That electric shock, that we through our bodies, that seemed to connect.

Bat Academy: 1
Cameron, oh Cameron I don t even know you, and im falling for you. Your voice, the way you speak. How I feel so comfortable and protected by you, even though I have no clue about who you are. And our kiss, which seems like it means the most to me than any kiss, and it was barely considered a peck.

Madisonnnn? Madi? Where the H are you?! I heard Alison yelling, I walked slowly back to her. Im here girlie, I whispered, lost in my own thoughts about Cameron. Are you okay? Im shaken up, that we did that Madi, we shouldn t have They re dead.. We did it! She whispered furiously under her breath. I grabbed her hand. Hey I know, it was wrong, we shouldn t kill anyone from now on. We need to talk to Demoi when we get back to BA. But first I wanna get my hair done. I told her, leading her back into the shadows of the woods.

Bat Academy: 1
Alison giggled, and I shot her a confused glance. Sorry but your hair is beautiful, and your worrying about that! Hahah, I love you Madi. Alison yelled, laughing. I started giggling realizing what she meant, God we were a pack of idiots. Ha-ha. I wanna get a streak loser, pleeeasseee, go hijack a car? I pleaded, giggling at the hijacking part. I mean, wow, we were criminals. Okie dokie! Omg, I love doing this! Stay here, you make me feel guilty. I ll be two minutes. Okay, I sat on the forest floor, I can t believe im getting a streak. And a purple one. Wow, I just had this random urge. And my urge s are fun ones! Obviously, fun but kinda dangerous. Helloo! Kissing a werewolf. Pshh, I had some serial problems.

Bat Academy: 1
And I still am confused, why did he say sorry? For leading me on? For him knowing I liked him? And kissing me back? What? Why would he apologize? Hmm, Cameron HONK. HONK. Ohemjee. She could at least make it seem like she was trying to get noticed. I raced out to the car (which this time was a Jaguar) and pryed open the door. Lets get out of here! I yelled at her. Jeeeeez. Chill Madi, and by the way I think im a little drunk Hunnie, we can t get drunk Off of blood we can! Oh yeah!.. Well I think I am, im being a little too careless, and reckless slap me! She ordered, turning her face to look at me. What? No! I exclaimed, rolling my eyes.

Bat Academy: 1
Seriously, it helps. She informed me, shrugging her shoulders. Okay, with pleasure. I grinned evilly, and struck her across the face. On a human, their face would have been broken. But on a vampire, it felt like a normal slap. Her eyes went from a little cloudy to alert and pissed. That hurt! She yelled, punching me lighly on the arm. Sorrrry. You asked me to slap you, so I did. I said carelessly, laughing. I was laughing about Alison s face when Fifteen by Taylor Swift went off. Ugh. Back to civilization, it was my effen cell phone. I fished it out of Alison s purse and flipped it open. Hello? Madi? A familiar voice said. Yes? Who is this? I ordered. Gosh, I really need to check my caller ID once in awhile. Nate Nate said, and omg.

I sighed. Whats up?

Bat Academy: 1
I miss her.. He whispered, I could hear his voice. He had been crying. I felt sad, they were perfect, and he ruined it. Why did you do it then? I asked him. He needed a good effen excuse for breaking my best friends heart. Because I thought she was see ing Ashton! Jamie told me that! He said he saw her and Ashton making out in the library! When I asked Ashton he said no and he doesn t even know a Alison, he was serious. I messed up, big time.. Nate said, crying histerically. Listen Nate! When I said his name Alison jumped up, and started breathing hard-chill, I think she will understand. When we get back I ll take her to you, maybe. Let me see what she wants to do okay? Okay, thank you. Bye! Bye. I flipped my phone shut and waited for Alison to say something, I knew she would.

Bat Academy: 1
Madison, was that Him? She whispered, drumming her fingers nervously on the steering wheel. Yes, it was. What did he want? She questioned, looking at me with tears in her eyes. God, if only he knew how much he really broke her heart. He wanted me to tell you that he missed you, and that he messed up. I said cautiously. I didn t really know what Alison would do. I mean what if she like went psycho on me and roared? I giggled at the thought, but quickly silenced when I saw Ali s expression. Is he serious? Why does he realize that now? Did he say anything else to you? She asked, frowning and starting to cry once again. Yeah he s serious. And he told me he broke up with you because Jamie told him that he say you and Ashton making out in the libraWHAT? Alison yelled.

Bat Academy: 1
Hey, im not finished yet! That he saw ya ll making out in the library and when he told Ashton, Ash was like wtf, and said he didn t even know a Alison. I finished, glancing at her. Ohmigawd IM GOING TO KILL JAMEI! She screamed. Ali! Chill! I know it s hard, but think here. I ll be quick, you can even talk to Nate off of my cell. Its all cool. I told her, stepping out of the car. I was kind of afraid of her at this point LOL. Alright, thank you girlie. I love ya. Love ya too. I said, walking in the door to the hair salon. I sniffed, um eew. It smelled gross! Like a mixture of burnt hair and bleach. Ewy. I walked to the counter, beamed at some guy with blue hair, and tried to charm him with my looks. Um, hello. He exclaimed, nervously. I could sense the confusion, and nervous radiating off of him.

Bat Academy: 1
Ohh! Hey! Im Madi, I d like a appointment pretty pleaseee! I babbled, smiling, and twirling my hair. Um um oh, you need to have a two day s notice before you can get your hair done. And um. Yeah. He stuttered, beads of sweat appearing on his upper lip. I pouted. Oh, please? This is soooo important, and I know your just the sweetest guy, please? Can you sneak one in for me? I begged, leaning close to him. Oh, .. um.. okay then. Go sit in the chair.. um.. yeah. I ll have Ahmanda get to you soon.. um.. He babbled, unsure of what to say. Gawd, this boy was a trip. Hehe. So easy to take advantage of. Woww. I guess I feel a little guilty, but hey! His fault. I sat down in the leather chair and checked out myself in the mirror. My hair was flawless, hung straight, and shiny. Not a single frizz. My

Bat Academy: 1
eyes were alert, and warm, not sleepy and unaware as they were before I fed. Yeah, I looked a little gothic, but that was me. My moods y know. OMG, Hiya! Im Ahmanda, and OMG your hair is like, ah-mazin ! Ahmanda yelled in a perky voice. My eyebrows raised, this chick was a little too annoying for my taste, but otherwise pretty cool. She was wearing the usual black salon thingie over her so I didn t see what she was wearing. But she had dyed bubblegum pink hair hanging at her sides with cute bangs. Her eyes were a deep, soulful, brown. Thank you! I said, a little sarcastickly, but not enough for her to notice. Its cool! So, darlin what d you want done? Like, a bob? Hm? Naw, I think your hair looks ah-bsolutely perfect! Yea, sooo? What you getting ? She exclaimed, looking at my hair, pondering. Gosh, she was frickin annoying.

Bat Academy: 1
Well, I don t want a cut. I want a streak. A purple one. I said seriously, hoping she would bring her perkiness to a level one. Ohmigawddd! You would be lookin hot! Okie dokie, just wait her darlin . Let me go get the stuff! Ahmanda beamed, skipping to the back room. She came back with a bunch of crap. Minuutes ticked by, me tuning out everything, her, the noises, and the world.

Finally Alison mumbled when I climbed into the car a big grin spread on my face. Ahmanda, did my streak perfectly, it was the back of my head, not in the middle, but it was just one burst of purple. It looked hot. Most definitely. I loved it, the skinny splash of dark purple. (: Yay!

Bat Academy: 1
Oh shut up, everything good? I asked, that question was most definitely double meaning. Asking about my hair, and Nate. My idiot brother. Gawd. Everything s perfect! She gloated, giving me a non-forced genuine smile.

Everything was going perfect. Like Alison said earlier. Jamie was beaten up by both Nate and Ricky. And I think Ashton threw a punch in somewhere. Good, he totally deserved it. That jerk. Spreading rumors, vicious lies to get two of my best friends to break up and make my life suck. Ugh. I hope he had some serious injuries. Nate and Alison are back together again. Thank God, her heart was repearing, but he better not do anything dumb. Or he was gonna have to go through me and Ricky. And I was one tough chica.

Bat Academy: 1
But the one thing not right was me missing, well, longing for that poor unfortunate soul. I say unfortunate, because well Im a hard person to love. I tend to fall out of love, and I can be such a player. Which isn t good. At all. But I felt love, real true love for Cameron. Oh, Cameron.. I want him so bad! To kiss him, and just to feel his touch, to know he is there, that he s just not part of my overly active imagination. He needs to be real. If he s not im psycho. I can t be crazy! I need him, want him. Want to be loved by someone, and I felt it from him. He s not just a figment of my imagination.. Even I can t imagine something as beautiful and sexy as him. He was perfect.. Tan, muscled, soft, sweet, nice, shy, beautiful, hot, sexy, cute, athletic, he possesses. And he has a secret too. . . . And here I thought, I could never feel love. Oh yeah, boy was I wrong. I thought I loved Keith, and I did, but it was a one sided love, oh obviously. I shuddered, Keith really hurt me. Stupid, buttfaced Keith. Grr. everything I love in guys,

Alison. I said laughing a little. Hmmm? I love ya. I said, giggling. I love you to sister. She said back, laughing. I guess I didn t know why we were laughing but that it felt nice. Everything is perfect now. I know, She whispered touching my hand.

I watched Nate hold Alison at dinner. They almost looked like a tangle of one body they were so together. Lost in each other s eyes. I excused myself, I didn t want to intrude on them. And walked across the hall, looking for that golden blonde head. Ashton. He was sitting with Tim, his year, a cutie with dark hair and a strong jaw. They were laughing about something apparently involving Tim doing a crash and burn on a sAlieboard. Wow. Boys were so weird. Ha-ha.

Mind if I sit? I asked kinda quietly. Enough for only Ashton to hear. He looked up surprised, sure Madi, what s wrong? . It was nice that he asked. Nothing just want to sit here tonight, I smiled. Okay, that s cool. So tomorrow right? He whispered to me. Yes, tomorrow, our date. Ah, I am so excited. And It was weird because he is usually so uptight and up-your-butt annoying and serious. But NOW? No, he is a boy. The fun teenage ones.. I miss them. I found his hand under the table and secretly squeezed it. Tomorrow, He exhaled loudly, as if he actually thought I would reject him. Yeah right. Tim leaned forward and grinned at me, as if he knew that Ashton was crazy for me. Or that I was wishing he was. So Madi right? Tim asked me his brown eyes wide. Yesssiirrr.

Can you put in a good word to Shayla? He said, all eyes on her. I turned behind me, Shayla was totally oblivious. She was pouting her lips and taking pictures with Yasmin. Of course Tim, I laughed, she was one of a kind that girl. Gosh, we needed to have a slumber party, me, Alison, Yasmin and Shay. They rung the bell to leave and I left my salad untouched. Ashton grabbed a bread roll and stuffed it into his mouth before standing up with me. I felt the tiny wings of the butterflies enter my stomach. This always happens. UGH. I wasn t even kissing him either, just a little hug. He put his arms around me and gave a little squeeze. Enough to make me content. It was all I really needed, just a nice hug to make me feel special. And like we actually had SOMETHING to work with. He let go and I waved, starting to make my way across the caf to my girls . I seriously don t care if we have school tomorrow, I will call in a

sick day. For all of us. We need some bonding time, I feel like I barely know Shayla and Yasmin, and well. I know Ali but still. It ll be nice. SHAYLA! YASMIN! ALISON! I yelled trying to get their attention. They all spun around and Yasmin came skipping toward me HEY BAE! she laughed. Shayla walked over smiling with Ali. What s up Madi? They asked. Slumber PARTY. MY place. Tonight. Call in, demand a sick day. We need female bonding time. Ight. Yas said, giving us hugs and running to her room. I received a peace sign from Shayla and a ta-ta hand wave from Ali. I headed down the stone grey corridor, the shoes made a sticky sound when I hit the marble floors, around me full vampires walked hand in hand with their boyfriends/girlfriends and friends gossiped about hair and makeup and who is dating who. But not me, I am worrying about

what Keith is up to concerning Werewolves and Cameron THE Werewolf, and everything. I just need to let it freaking go. And enjoy my life, while it s still here. While I m young. The halls were dimly lit, light enough to find you re way but too dark to read. I found my room easily. Second nature to me. I stepped in, fumbling around for the light. I smelled my Brittany Spears perfume and popcorn.. wait.. popcorn? I flicked up the switch and saw a popcorn bag lying on the ground and bodies under my covers. OH, I WONDER WHO. HAHA.

HM, that s so strange, a random popcorn bag lying here.. I wondered out-loud, Yasmin would probably laugh first. I just had to wait. OH CRAP.. That mattress is so lumpy. Where will they sleep tonight? I guess I could make Yas and Shayla squish in the tub, and Ali can lay on the wet rug. I better should call the maid. Yepp. I heard a laugh, and

then Shayla popped up from under the covers. She was grinning ear to ear. They pushed my comforter off them and started laughing. These were my friends, my girls. I needed to stick close to them.
