  Dougie yawned, laughing shakily as he did so. I mean, it was 1:00pm on Saturday and he was yawning, despite not waking and leaving his bed until 12:15. He sighed as he trugded through the snow, his heart beating a little faster as he thought of the time he'd been here with his sister. The glorious snowball fight that made him love his sister more than he thought he ever could. It was then he thought she was perfectly angelic and wouldn't dream of hurting him.
He sagged against a tree, thinking, "I was wrong there." All the while reliving all the things he'd done for her, look out for her, beat up thre jerk who'd cheated on her, make her happy - there was one that beat the rest. Every night, he'd tuck her in and she'd whisper, "I love you, you're the bestest big brother" And he'd reply, "I love you too. Night, little'un." She'd clamour to hug his neck. He suddenly thought about the night she'd tried to kill him. A single tear trickled down his face, and he inhaled sharply.
"It was all my fault .." he whispered shakily, not moving to wipe away the tear. It was like he hadn't even acknowledged it was there. He stared into space, his eyes clouding over.  NOTES --WORDS WORD COUNT.

Peyton had not yet fully adjusted to her change. It was taking more time then she had anticipated but at least she had not yet attacked a fellow student or a friend. She really hadn't even been tempted that bad to. Though for some reason as she woke up earlier in the day she had a feeling that something was going to happen today. Not that she knew what, maybe she would just finally be able to catch a deer. She wasn't that great at hunting, it was oddly hilarious if you could see it. The only person who had seen her failed attempts and knew about her was Beryx, but he himself was a vampire as well so that didn't count.
So far the girl had been relatively good at keeping her secret hidden from everyone even Dom her best friend. She just made sure that she didn't come in any such contact with a human that would give her away. She had found a way to make her body tempature warmer though sometimes it malfunctioned and made her body way to hot. It was funny because so many times her friends had thought she was sick. The spells never lasted long but now her eye color was back to normal, if you could call a light golden brown color normal. Today she had got the spell right and her body temperture was normal, she even had checked to make sure. So, coming in contact with a human wasn't a worry of hers at all.
Today, she had decided for some reason to once more find her way to the grounds. She seemed to be spending a lot of time outside lately. Grabbing a coat she took off out of the school. Walking around she was caught off guard as a sudden smell caught her attention. The smell was one she hadn't once come across before. And despite the fact that her brain was telling her to turn around and go in the other direction, the girl couldn't help but follow it.
Looking around to see a Gryffindor she had barely ever spoke to Peyton noticed the tear that escaped his eye and she felt the sudden impulse to go over and see if he was okay. At least the change hadn't took away her caring side. Coming up next to him she said, "You okay?" it sounded kind of horrible to her, after all she hadn't really talked to him before and she was just putting herself out there and into his buisness, though she could have took the easy way out and allowed his thoughts to fill her mind, but she tried to refrain of using that power on anyone.

"You okay?" Dougie looked at her. Then he shrugged. "This may sound messed up, but I honestly don't know."
Of course Dougie wasn't OK, but he wasn't going to talk about his past. Not at all. He tried to divert the subject by saying, "I'm Dougie.My friends call me Doug." He didn't offer her his hand, he didn't get the feeling she wanted it. "You are ...?"
He felt a little embarrassed. Guys like Dougie hardly ever cried. NOTESDamn my short posts!!WORDS WORD COUNT.

Peyton had almost gave in to her thoughts and allowed his to reach her but she felt like she would be invading his privacy. It wasn't fair that she did that to anyone, though sometimes she found she just couldn't help herself. Definetly when she wanted to know something. Not that this guys case was really anything important to her or anything she was just curious. And curiousity did kill the cat, didn't it?
Sighing Peyton fought against herself on what to do and decided that she wouldn't invade his thoughts, not yet at least. It wasn't like it would help him or anything anyway. So instead of doing anything she made herself comfortable. "Hm, well if it helps, I'm probably just as screwed up with emotions," she admitted truthfully. Because if you knew her and what she had gone through you would know she really was.
As the kid introduced himself Peyton nodded. Doug. Dougie. Interesting name. She hadn't ever met a Doug before. "I'm Peyton. And my friends call me- well Peyton there isn't anything shorter," she said with a slight laugh. Was she getting nervous? No she wasn't, she was just babbling about her name trying to distract him from his thoughts, like she really could anyway. At least she was going to give it a try either way.

"Hm, well if it helps, I'm probably just as screwed up with emotions," Dougie smiled a relieved smile. "Glad to know I'm not the only one. No offence!" He stuttered over his words.
What was wrong with him? He never acted this way around girls. He blushed apollogetically at her, well, more the groune, but it was aimed for her. He figured he was acting this way because she'd caught him crying.
I'm Peyton. And my friends call me- well Peyton there isn't anything shorter," she laughed. Doug grinned at her, a charmily cheeky smile, his eyes catching hers. He darted them away, as an awkward silence filled the air.
"So, um, what year and house are you in? Im a Seventh year Gryffindor. I'm 18." NOTES --WORDS WORD COUNT.

Wanting to slap herself for sounding like an idiot all she could do now is just laugh at herself. It was a lot better then worrying about making a fool of herself. After all she was one of the worlds greatest predators, well sort of. There weren't many things that could out do her in strength and speed now. So she shouldn't worry about making an idiot out of herself, really. Though she couldn't figure out how to make herself believe that one, after all how did the two connect to each other? They didn't.
After she laughed awkwardly she shut her mouth as her lips formed a straight line when she zipped them shut. "If only you knew how screwed up I was then you'd feel loads better then you feel now," she said not sure why she was so openly saying such things to a random stranger. Not that he was random or a stranger completly he was a fellow student.
Finally Peyton managed to keep her nervous giggling under control and she was able to not keep her mouth zipped shut. She smiled at him as she accidently let go of her control and caught a small glimpse into his thoughts. She wanted to tell him that it was okay that he had been crying, after all everyone does. Except me, she thought bitterly to herself. She wasn't sure she could cry, being a vampire and all and she wasn't really wanting to discover if she could or not, not when there were others around to see it.
"Oh I'm a sixth year Ravenclaw, sixteen," she said as her age suddenly seemed so young. Though it was close to her birthday she would be seventeen soon so she quickly added, "Well seventeen really, my birthdays in a few weeks," she said.

"If only you knew how screwed up I was then you'd feel loads better then you feel now," Dougie blinked at her. "It cant be that bad!" He said. He gulped as he thought about it. "I'm angry, but sad, and hate myself, but her too, even though I loved her." Doug surprised himself by revealing that.He ws brought back down to reality with a bump. He stared on, determined not to shed a tear. it wasn't his fault ... was it?
"Oh I'm a sixth year Ravenclaw, sixteen.Well seventeen really, my birthdays in a few weeks," she said.
"Cool!" Doug's magical grey eyes lit up. "If you pray hard enough, I might get you a present!" He smiled sweetly. He thought about it. He was quite surprised at himself by saying that. He knew what he'd always wanted to make someone, write them a song using either his bass or guitar, along with his voice. But then, if he did, he couldn't tell Aurora, she'd think he was falling for this girl. And he wasn't.
Hopefully.

As soon as the last few words were out of her mouth she realized that she had lied to him. She was still 16, she would be 16 for the rest of her life. She would never age, never get old, never die, unless of course someone came along and ripped her to pieces. The thought sent a shiver down her spine. She would be a teenager the rest of her life. Scary. Then with that she decided that she could always claime to be 17 or 18. No more then that probably with her looks. It would have to due because she wasn't going to make herself seem 16 forever, no way.
She wanted to laugh at the fact that she had been stupid enough to not realize she wasn't going to age sooner. It was one of the reasons why she chose to become a vampire, her body would never change. Illnesses couldn't kill her. If anyone else knew about this they would have been laughing along with her but she kept her mouth shut not wanting to seem stupid.
And then the wind blew carrying the guys scent to her nose. It made her throat burn for thirst. Startled by it she quickly took a step backward away from him as she covered her nose to prevent any hint of the scent getting to her again. "Oh it can be that bad," she said removing her hand to speak then replacing it when she was done. Though I won't tell you how bad, I won't tell you that right now my head is scheming on ways to kill you," she thought to herself.
On listening to his reply about her birthday she laughed. "Oh don't worry I have plenty of more birthdays if not," she said jokingly as she allowed her nose and mouth to remain uncovered.

"Oh it can be that bad," When she said this, it worried him a little. Surely the girl couldn't have something that wrong with her. He hoped not. He'd been at the all time low stage and it wasn't fun. His tone was so gentle and kind when he spoke, "If you want to talk, I'll be standing right here."
He smiled when she began putting her hands over her mouth and nose. "Do I really smell that bad?" He teased gently, trying to make her laugh, "'Cause if I do, this Deodarent ain't working."
"Oh don't worry I have plenty of more birthdays if not," And Dougie smiled a wide smile. "You look older than 16. I'm surprised you're not turning nineteen." He complimented her bashfully. He gave an awkward laugh, suddenly realising it sounded a bit flirty.

Peyton let out a slightly nervous laugh. He really had no clue, then again no one had a clue of what she was. She was always just so paranoid lately she just assumed that everyone really knew that something big and dangerous had happened to the girl. Maybe she just spent to much time in their thoughts and started making her own assumptions about what they thought of her. Yes, that was probably it because she had been acting more normal but the thoughts had never once subsided.
Why was she giggling like such a school girl. She was acting like the first and second year girls did when they passed a cute guy the liked. It was obnoxious, but yet she couldn't stop it. Her nerves were forcing her to acts stupid. "Well, er- thanks, I thinnk, but if I told you then you might not still be standing there, you'd be running the opposite direction from me screaming your head off," she said. Why was she telling him this? Why oh why!
Realizing she must have come across rude as she covered her mouth she shook her head and stepped back closer to him, this time she was only a step or two away from him. The closer she got the hotter her throat felt. She was going to have to do something about that. Then it came to her. The other vampires in the school had told her how to help it. Reaching in her coat pocket she pulled out a red lollipop. To normal eyes it would look like cherry but it really tasted like blood. Popping it into her mouth she sighed as the thirst seemed to be quenched. "I'm sorry, I was feeling a little sick there for a moment," she said, which was as close to the truth as she was going to get.
If her pale skin had been able to turn red and give her away, Dougie would have known that his comment about her looking older embarassed her. She was glad that she did, it would allow her to pull off a higher age then what she was. "No, I'm only 16, almost 17," she said trying to not seem stupid once more.

"Well, er- thanks, I thinnk, but if I told you then you might not still be standing there, you'd be running the opposite direction from me screaming your head off," she said.
Dougie smiled in a gentle yet comforting fashion. "Peyton," he said softly, "If that's the image i'm giving out, I'm surprised. And do you know what? Sometimes confiding in people you barely know is better than in your friends. With you're friends, you feel like it'll all change. With strangers, nothing will happen, as long as you can trust them." He looked into her eyes, his eyes sparkling with magic. "And if you want to talk, I won't tell, whether it's life or death."
"I'm sorry, I was feeling a little sick there for a moment,"
He laughed. "I was joking."
"No, I'm only 16, almost 17,"
He smiled. "Just sayin'," he grinned at her.

Feeling slightly better seeing that Dougie seemed to take her strangeness just fine made Peyton smile. She couldn't help it for some reason. What was that reason? She wish she knew. The words he spoke were true though. There was no way she could tell Dom, and she was pretty sure she wouldn't be able to really tell anyone else either, though for some reason something in her was trying to force the words out of her mouth. She wanted to just smack her head off of a tree to knock some sense into her. But as she actually considered she was afraid of damaging the tree.
Looking over the grounds Peyton took a few moments of silence. She had made up her mind without realizing she had. "You know how sometimes things aren't what the seem? Well I'm one of those things," she said un sure of how to finish telling him. Should she just wait until he could figure it out himself. And why did she even want him to know her secret? She had just met him for crying out loud but yet, she couldn't help but want him to know.
Now allowing her gaze to find his once more she was about to do something she had planned to never do. "You said you wouldn't run and I'll hold you to that, because no matter what, I am faster then you and I can stop you dead in your tracks," she said with a slight mysterious smirk on her face. Her more flirty evil side was beginning to come out once again and she wasn't sure what to do. But, as Dom would say, just go with it. "Try to fight me off and you will find out that I'm stronger," she said still staring directly into his yes. "Try to hide and I can follow your scent. Try to plan a way to escape me, I can read your mind," and now she blinked once and reopened only to have her topaz eyes now be the color of blood red. "Not that bad? care to take those words back now?" she finished as she let her fangs extract from the gums in her mouth, with that she ran her tongue over her teeth from fang to fang. "And this isn't a cherry lollipop," she said popping it back into her mouth.

Dougie shrugged.
"And this isn't a cherry lollipop,"
"It's a blood tasting lollipop." He nodded. "And I trust you. You haven't bitten me, you are sucking on a blood lollipop. My uncle was a vampire, but he refused to bite me and Alyssa. I am not going to run away from you, because I trust you." He looked into her red eyes.
"I'm a physchic. And a mindreader. I've got a few secrets, one's about Alyssa. I trust you so I'll tell you about her. My past. Only if you like." And he meant every word he said.

Peyton was slightly relieved to see him taking the news so well. And she couldn't help but wonder if anyone else would be just as calm, but thinking about it she knew they wouldn't be. Most of the other students would act like they were yet they would try to keep away from her. She already had known that, even before she went begging Cate to change her. It was just that at that time she was thinking of her family, the same family she was not going to allow herself to see for awhile, not until her thirst was more under control then it was.
Looking at Dougie she was speechless. What else could she do other then stand there with her mouth dropped open like an idiot? Nothing. She was fascinated by him and how careless he seemed to be. She took a step closer without even noticing she had done it. "Can you read mine? I was told that usually people can't hear my mind beings I'm a vampire and it's some kind of protective crap," she said in a slight challenging tone.
Then as he continued she nodded. She wanted to hear it, after all she had spilled her guts to him. It was payback time. "I'd like to hear it, really," she said in a quiet voice.

"Can you read mine? I was told that usually people can't hear my mind beings I'm a vampire and it's some kind of protective crap,"
Dougie tried. Hard. His eyes went white with the effort, but he could not read her mind. He stopped and shook his head. "Nope..."
"I'd like to hear it, really,"
"It ... it was a Saturday. Mum told me to babysit Lyss, who was thirteen. I was sixteen. I went up to finish my homework, when I heard her moving about.In... in a secretlike fashion. I went downstairs.
"She was getting ready to go ... out.
'Dougsyy!!' She'd exclaimed.
'Where you g oing?' I'd asked.
'Out.'
'No, you're not!'
It evolved to a full fight and before she stormed out i yelled, Burn ... i-i-n ... Hell.
"She went, of course. She took after me and did it anyway. Then she called and said meet me at Knockturn Alley. I was scared, a kid in Knockturn Alley. What the hell?!
"Then when I went to meet her, she looked funny.
" 'Lyss --'
'CRUCIO!' She screamed over and over.
"LYSS!!!!!!' I screeched. Then - 'Avada Kedavra!'.
Silence. There was footsteps. Someone had placed an Imperius Curse on her and told her to kill me. The last thing I said to her was ... Burn in Hell." He let a few tearsout. "And that's my dark goddamn past."
"It's all my fault..."
