killed Topaz we shall leave her she is nothing." "Julia please she has seen who we are we cannot trust her." I walked over to Sophia retracting my fangs so she wouldn't see them. "Listen to me we'll leave her lets go or do you want to do it the hard way." "Julia I am your mother you have no right to talk to me in that manner of tone." "If you do not approve I will kill you myself." "You cannot do that cause I am your mother, child." "WATCH ME." I saw a hint of fear in her eye for a split second then her expression went to the one she had before of a expressionless face. I transformed into myself and she is horrified that it is me, who she is going to fight. "Now you see my true form are you scared now I have killed your daughter and now I'll kill you too." "Honey I'd like to see you try." My canines change to my fangs and I already pounced on her. She squirms and yells for like a split second, I bite into her skin and suck her dry in a few seconds flat. I drop her from my grip and she falls limply on the ground. I go next to my mom who hasn't said a word. "Oh, my sweet, sweet daughter I thought they got you. Sweety I should have never pushed you into being friends with her I'm so sorry." She started crying, and I was patting her back. "It's okay mom, you didn't know, hell I didn't even know so don't blame yourself." She was crying so bad, and I was patting her back so much we didn't hear police officer come in after us. "Excuse me but what happened here." He said while looking at the dead body in his hand and on the floor just a few paces away from us. "Officer..." "Scott" "Officer Scott well I remember seeing a women leaving my home I just thought she, she was talking to my father, but I didn't get a good look at her face but now I know it was her. She killed my d...d...dad and they came. Julia came to kill me while her mother came to kill my m...m...mother." "So they came to finish the job." "I think so Officer Scott." "Now that we have the killers I hope the rest of your summer vacation is okay." "Thank you Officer Scott."

August: A day before going to Starlight Academy

"Honey are you awake in there?" "Yes mom." "We have to start packing your leaving today after you finish packing." "Thanks mom, oh mom can I go to the cemetery please?" "Yes, but hurry back." I grabbed a black tight short t-shirt, my favorite tight black pair of jeans, and my black high platform shoes. I rush out of my room and out the front door. I walk down towards the cemetery feeling the brisk wind hit me. I enter the cemetery through the wrought-iron gates that are always open. Walking past each tombstone slowly touching the tops lightly. I reach my father's tombstone that has piles of dead flowers next to it. I place a new set of living roses next to it. Once they touch the ground they die. I place them in the dead roses pile. I cry for about a minute and get up. I walk abut 5 feet when I reach Julia and Sophia graves. I start kicking their graves again. "Why did you have to kill him you fuckin bastards, why? He didn't do anything to you. Why, why, why!" "Astrid what are you doing!" I turn around to the voice of Justin. "They killed my father, no they staked my father." "Wait, don't you mean stabbed." "Ya that." "You know what Astrid." "What Justin?" I growl. "You act so bad since your fathers death your like a whole different person. I don't think us is going to work." "Wait a minute, they kill my father on my birthday, then you dump me the day before I'm leaving. Real smart Justin, now I have two things to feel sad about." I walk away while he yells out my name. When I get home I rush into my room and pack most of my things under a minute. "Astrid I know your in between mad and sad but would you like some pizza and cookies." "Thanks mom I coming down can you heat them up by then." "Yes honey." I wash up a little I still miss my dad cause everyday when I wake up I don't hear his snores and I have his eyes. I also miss our mourning fights which mom always breaks up. I sigh like every other day since then. I hurry up and decide to take a shower. I walk through the crystal-like door frame of the shower close it behind me. I turn the water on and make it warm me. I sit in the corner I've been sitting in for the last month in a half. I stay there thinking of the day my life went bad. Come to think of it if I was still friends with Julia I would have trusted her and she could have killed me without me knowing. In a way she saved me from the same fate of my fathers. I got out when I couldn't stand talking about my father. When I got out I smelled the smell of stringy cheese and chocolate chip cookies. When I reached downstairs I saw all my friends and my ex-boyfriend Justin. "mom can I talk to you in another room Please." "Yes, honey." We walked past a couple rooms. When I knew we were out of yelling range I screamed "What the hell mom me and Justin broke up today." "Honey if you guys broke up today how come he didn't hesitate when I asked him." "Mom I don't know. I really don't know." We walked back down so we could eat some pizza and cookies. I sat in between Raven and Tera. I looked at Justin and saw that his eyes showed how hurt he felt because he had a seat next to him. I could tell there was something on the seat for me. "Astrid whats with you and Justin it's like you don't like him anymore was it that older guy wasn't it." "No, Tera this mourning Justin broke up with me and right now I'm not sure and Tera he is my principal to my new school why would I like him." "He was hot." I liked her she never brought up anything that would upset me like my fathers death. But she had a huge mouth. "Justin are you seeing anybody?" She asked seductively. "Ya, Tera I'm dating Astrid." "Okay I'm totally confused didn't you dump me in the cemetery?" "No I didn't go to the cemetery today cause your mom called me like 7:00 this mourning and I was at home getting everything ready like your favorite types of chocolates, and your favorite flowers." "Really milk,and caramel chocolates, and Haliantha. Thanks Justin." I jump out of my chair and hug him. "That's okay babe but how did you see me if I wasn't in the cemetery today." Me and my mom knew the answer SHAPESHIFTERS. "Sorry maybe I was crying so hard I couldn't see straight." "Baby it's okay. It's okay. Your safe and so is your mother." I hadn't noticed but I was starting to cry. Everyone knew why because I was in the cemetery, and I was thinking of my father. I let go of Justin and sat down next to him this time, and let my head lay on his shoulder. "I'm going to miss seeing you during school hours." "We can't wait to see you after school hours, right." "Ya totally do you think I'll ever forget about you guys." We ate and joked around. Before we knew it 5 hrs. passed by. We said our goodbyes and I went to sleep. Then I remembered tomorrow was the day I was going to a boarding school 2 hrs. away from my friends. I sigh and turn around in bed and go to sleep.

First Day Of School at Starlight Academy

"Mom I change my mind I'm not ready." I say on my midnight black Iphone. "Honey to late to change that and you can't stay here they may kill you and you can't kill them cause your around mortals." "But mom how are you going to protect yourself." "Honey do you ever listen I'm a angel I can kill them by just pointing to them." "Then why didn't you do that to Sophia." "Cause she surprised me, she was my friend since I came down here and married your father. I just couldn't believe she k...k...k...killed him and was going to k...kill m...me and y...you." "It's okay mom now you know people who are close to you may kill you you'll be more alert right?" "Yes sweetheart, I will protect myself." "Thank you, now I know your safe, there's another problem." "What is it?" My mom groaned. "What if I don't make any friends, you know I can never go to a school that I don't have any friends." "Darling, you are sweet, and out of this world beautiful, you'll totally make new friends, but you won't miss your old ones. Will you." "No and thanks for the pep talk." I hang up and get out of my car. I spray painted my car before I left the house. I looked at the now black polished car, with purple and white streaks. I smile but it fades when I turn around and I see everyone gazing at me. Some with longing, and others with jealous rage. I walk away quickly looking for the building that my mom pointed out to me. I stepped in and before I can even set both feet in. Alec says. "Topaz you can come in you don't have to knock." Dam never going to get use to having a demon for a principal. "Hey Mr.Andrews whats up?" "Nothing much,you." "Nothing today. Can I have my schedule, and dorm key." "Sure." He pulls out a key and paper that was in the top drawer. I guess he was waiting for me and printed them out. "Mr.Andrews do I have a roommate?" "No, you have a room to yourself as does everyone else." "Okay, cool." "Let me have someone escort you to your class and show you around." 'Thanks." He pushes a red button and in comes in a man. Okay saying man is a crime. He was wearing a black shirt that shows how ripped he is. His pants hugged him perfectly. He smiled as if knowing what I was thinking. His silky looking black hair covered his eyes. He moved some of his hair and I had a split second to see his eyes. BLOOD RED. I shy away a little not scared though cause I know I can beat the hell out of him. "Danny, this is Topaz Astrid. Can you show her around. Her dorm first then bring her to her first period." "Yes, sir." "Thank you." When we got out the room I got close enough to know that Danny was a demon too. Were all the staff here demons. "Danny are all the staff here demons." "No,only me and my father." "And who is your father." "The principal." What Mr.Andrews was his father I almost choked on air. "Really, he is." "Ya." "How old are you?" "18." "Okay." The rest of the walk we didn't talk much. I got to see my dorm room with a lot of my boxes already there. Then I finally got to my first period. "Okay, thanks bye." He hesitated but then left. I walked in and everyone just turned their attention from
