CHAPTER 1: LIFE TAKES A TURN

Jarry begin his morning like always. He reached school and was in his first period class. The school year had started over again, and he was now in the tenth grade. The class was filling in one by one. Jarry had arrived first since he liked to have time to write in his journal. He looked around as people filled in the classroom. He saw that some of his friends had come into the class, but he just smiled at them and kept writing.

Alison was at her new locker getting it ready for the year. She always made sure that her locker had some style to it. She finished by putting a picture of her family. "There, a new year, a better look." She looked at the time, "Time for class." She said. She walked to her classroom and went inside. She looked around at everyone while she was coming in. She then noticed a boy writing in a journal. She sat down beside him and pulled out her notebook. She started drawing a picture of a rose.

Night shivered. 'That's the creepiest crap,' he thought. "Right back at ya," Night hissed.

Nessa's eyes narrowed, and she hurled on of her knives toward Matt's back. SHe whispered a chant, and the other knife grew longer into a sword. She swung the sword a few times in the air, and then slashed at Matt.

Matt simply disappeared and reappeared behind Nessa and grabbed hold of her and put another dagger to her neck. "No one move, one wrong move and I will kill Night's girlfriend." Matt said.

"Can I at least stand up?" Night asked, "I have to admit that it's kinda uncomfortable on the floor here." 'Darn, where did Van Helsing Jr. go?' he thought.

"Get up very slowly, and don't make any quick move." Matt said.

Nessa struggled a little against Matt, all too aware of the dagger at her neck. "Let me go." she demanded, though she highly doubted he would. What does he want with us?

Night slowly got up. "See, I'm up." He then gave Matt a cocky grin then flashed out of existance and then back in in less than the blink of an eye. He was behind Matt, holding a shotgun to his head. "Now if you move, you'll die," hesaid darkly.

"You wouldn't kill me for two reasons. One, I will kill your girlfriend if you kill me, and two, Jarry would never be able to forgive you of the crime." Matt said with a dark smile.

Night burst out laughing. "You can't kill Nessa if you're dead! And Jerry's wrath won't bring you back! Where is he, anyway?" Night pulled the trigger...

The shot hit and before he fell, Matt stabbed Nessa with his dagger. He then fell to the floor dead.

Night was shocked: Not only had he somehow killed a vampire without a wooden stake, but the vampire was somehow able stab Nessa after getting shot in the head. Night shot because he didn't think the latter was possible. "No!" he screamed, "Nessa, hang on, heal yourself or something!" He dropped to his knees besides her.

Nessa eyes widened, and for a moment she wondered if time had stopped completely. But then there was shocking pain in her neck, and she was finally able to get out of Matt's grasp, only to fall on the floor choking. "Not. . .as easy to heal. . .as you think." she said to Night, every few words puncuated by a choke. She covered her throat with her hand, and closed her eyes as dark spots began to dance across her vision, then slumped to the floor.

"NO!" Night pounded the floor. She couldn't die! She couldn't! He then remembred something he had read: Dragonfire could heal. But since what he would be using to save Nessa would be from his own soul, it might kill him. 'To save a life, I might have to give one,' he thought. He breathed fire and manipulated it, sealing the wound shut and healing Nessa. Night felt dizzy and tired."Don't die," he whispered, closing his eyes and collapsing to the floor. It was unclear if his heart was beating or breathing.

Jarry came running up to Night and Nessa with Allison. "Healaga!" They both said casting a spell to revert Nessa and Night back to their original status before battling Matt.

Am I dead? No, I couldn't be. This feels too real. Nessa cautiously opened her eyes, and her eyes darted around. "I am alive." she whispered incredulously. "Night." she turned to him, the fact of being alive suddenly losing its greatness. "Night!" She turned to Jarry and Alison. "Is he alive?"

"He should be we made a spell that should reheal him back to health." Allison said. "Nessa, could you please tell us what happened here?" Jarry asked her.

Night got up and yawned. "Hey, guys, wassup? Did we win?" he asked.

"You tell us. What happened here?" Jarry asked Night.

Night's face lit up. "Oh yeah! Matt tried to kill us, so he stabbed Nessa and I beat him up!"

"Matt." Nessa spat. "That's pretty much what happened. Thanks for saving me, Night." she added. "Sorry that your brother tried to kill us." Nessa mumbled to Jarry, not really knowing what to say to her friend whose brother had tried to kill her.

Night scowled. "It's my fault for not killing him the first time he tried to kill me," he mumbled. "I knew that if I did, I would regret it..."

Jarry dropped to the floor on his knees and had tears rolling down his face, "You killed him? You killed my brother! I can see his body over there, so I know what truly happened." Jarry said in tears. Allison could only hold him to comfort him.

What could Nessa say? Sorry for your loss? Except, she wasn't sure she was sorry. Matt had tried to kill her, suceeded, tried to kill Night, and maybe everyone in that room, maybe even Jarry and Alison. Instead, she said nothing, and bowed her head in respect.

Night wasn't as sensitive. "Well, yeah. It's okay that he tried to kill me twice, but he went to far when he tried to kill Nessa. It was killed or be killed." He looked at Matt and shook his head. "Cry if you must, but know that I had no choice." He inexplicably said the last sentence in a British accent.

Jarry got up and went into Night's face. "If you thought you had trouble before, think again. You have just entered the true story after the previews." Jarry said. "I will have this whole town hate your guts." Jarry said as he turned into wolf form and clashed through a window leaving in high speed. Allison looked at Night, "Well way to go."
