The Breed

Question, TN. What's Alana's favorite scent?

Drake

I came along the hallway, moving towards the infirmary. Was Alana still there?

But, even more important: why was I so concerned about her? I had only just met her that night...

But I still had to see her.

I came up to the door and pressed my ear to it. She was inside, alright. I could smell her, hear her, feel her.

I lifted my hand and knocked on the door, hoping she was able to answer.

**Roses or Honeysuckles I can't pick between the two. Oh and on Dragon Riders just show up at the bar/hotel. I couldn't think of anything :'(**


Alana-

Alana heard a knock on the door, she slowly moved towards it and opened it up. Drake was standing there. She smiled,

"Hello." She opened the door so he could come in and she moved towards the closest window. She didn't want to wake the others up though. "Thank you for bringing me to the doctors, I should've come straight to them." She said looking at him and smiling her thanks.

Drake

I followed her into the room, moving beside her as she returned to a window.

"I'm glad you're awake," I told her, meaning it. "How do you feel?"

Alana-

Alana ringed her hands, if she said she felt fine she'd be lying through her teeth. She sighed, "Tired, and a tad light headed, course how am I supposed to feel after losing a good amount of blood." She laughed, "I'll be a hundred percent soon enough. Then I'll be able to help watch out for the others."

Drake

Blood.

That was the problem.

But I couldn't offer it to her without bonding to her.

Damn.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there," I admitted. "I never should have let you go. I never should have told you to go."

And I hated it.

Alana-

Alana looked at him surprised, "It isn't your fault, I shouldn't have stopped and attacked it, I have a problem with biting off more then I can chew, but I was trying to keep my friend safe. So don't blame yourself for my mistake." She grinned,



***grr, sorry it is short***

Jenna walked into the infirmary, but she turned to Naomi and said "Alana's got up."

"That's probably not good." Naomi said. "Then again, she never sits still."

Jenna smirked in the direction of Monanoke. "See, that's what I'm like when I sleep as well."

Next to the sleeping figure in the chair, was a girl stretched out on a bed.

"How are you Alex?" Jenna said quietly. She frowned.

"You realise it's all of Alana's friends who are here? Why must I always have the weird neighbours."

"Imagine what your neighbours think," Naomi said.

"I don't know," Jenna answered, spying a bed next to Alex's which was empty. "But Alex will just have to deal with it because I need sleep if I plan on tackling Yorrick and Co. in class tomorrow."

She clambered onto the white sheets and curled up.

Monanoke walked down the street. She had to get home now. Luckily for her Alana wasn't killed because of the black haired girl's weakness.

"I'm such a berdon..." Monanoke moaned.

Drake

I smiled momentarily at her words, but I still felt bad about it. That wouldn't change.

"I'm glad you're alright, nonetheless," I remarked, patting her on the shoulder. "And...if you ever need me for anything, just come to my room."

Naomi~

"Well I'll be going." She bowed slightly to Alex and Jenna and walked back to her room. She layed on the bed. As if she really could sleep. Though this one night she would let herself. Naomi drifted into a slumber.

Alana-

"Thanks, I'll take you up on that if anythign comes up." She smiled, "How is Alex doing? Do you know?

She looked into his eyes and blinked, she couldn't pull her gaze away. She forced herself to though hoping she wouldn't get stuck in them again and make a fool of herself which she was bound to do again.

Monanoke walked down the dark and quiet street. She wasn't even frightened of the uneasy atmosphere. All she could think about was the fact that Alana got hurt because Monanoke was weak. Uknowing to the black haired girl two figures followed her in the shadows of the night.

Naomi~

Naomi sat up quickly. Something was wrong. Not here but with Jace. Jace was hungry, again. She jumped out her window and ran down the street. Monanoke's scent was everywhere. Along with Jace and Inoccence's. Naomi gritted her teeth and ran quickly down the road.

I was running, running as fast as I could, down a street that never seemed to end.

I didn't know what I was running from, just that I had to keep going.

I'm out of breath, and flustered and tired when I look round.

Beind me, Sam's face is too familiar to ignore, his calm, sweet face ravaged by a snarl, a glare in my direction. Then I trip and I see him reaching down...

I woke up with a start, shocked and horrified. The moonlight shone through the window, onto Alex's bed beside me.

I stretched and stood up. It was a dream I had had far too many times.

I wandered out to make sure I had the go-ahead to just go home.

Percy, the vampire who opened the door, was the first person I saw.

"Please," I said. "You can't keep me here. I have to go."

"It's for your own safety," he said. "We can't let you go home."

"Let me go anywhere! Let me go to my sister's, let me go to my parents, but please, you can't keep me here."

"We can and we will until it's safe for you."

"I don't belong here!" I said. "You're all about killing rogues, all the time. What if one of you kills Sam? What am I going to do? I can't stay here!"

I rushed to the tunnel and began to make my way home, almost afraid when no footsteps followed me. I pushed the door of Number Forty Two open.

Then there was an icy grip on my arm. I gasped and turned, straight into the face of another vampire.

Monanoke-

She stopped.

" Why are you out so late?" A male voice asked.

His tone was playful and almost fearful. Monanoke knew what had talked to her. A vampire- a rouge one.

"My lovely child, are you lost?" He asked.

The man before her was so handsome. Monanoke wasn't even afraid of him. She just stared at him.

"Come with me." He said alering her.

His hand was stretched towards her. Monanoke walked towards him and took his hand. After that all she could feel was pain and see nothing but darkness.
