Bloom Chapter 4 Daniel makes his way inside my house and i close and lock both the doors. I take him to the living room and we sit on the couch. I place my hand over where the pistol is hidden. I place my other hand on the knife handle. We talk for a while and before i know it, its almost 60. I suddenly get a text from Kayla. It says *Running a little late wont be home till about 2 am. U ok?*. I respond *yes. And ok*. I put my phone down and look back up at daniel. "So what now?" i say. "Well i have a pretty good idea." he responds. He leans closer to me. Already i know exactly what hes about to do. He continues to move in closer until i can feel his breath on my face. I gently lay my forehead against his. He slowly lifts my chin until im looking into his handsome eyes. Before i know it his lips are pressed against mine. I dont push away i dont fight it. I go along with it. The feel of his mouth against mine makes it seem as though nothing else matters. All the world has dissapeared exept for the two of us. Our mouths move in a rhythimic pattern. He begins to pull away but i put my hands on the back of his head and pull him closer. Our bodies pull together and i sit on his lap with my legs wrapped around his waist. He puts his arms around my hips as i put mine around his neck. We kiss for the longest time. The way he kisses me is just irresistable. We start slowing down a bit and finally pull away. Still on his lap and still face to face i gaze into his eyes smiling. He strokes my hair gently and smiles back. "I love you" i whisper. "I love you too," he says back. Its silent after that. I lay my head on his neck and we sit like that for a while with him still stroking my hair.

Bloom Chapter 3 I tell Kayla what happened starting from When school ended. "Ok. Julie go to my room please. Its the first door on your right when you get to the top of the stairs." Kayla says. Julie obeys and heads upstairs. " ERIC!! Get over here NOW." Kayla yells. In no time at all Eric is in the room with us. They begin whispering to each other. They sound frustrated. Eventually Kayla turns to me. "Natia why dont you go sit on the couch and ill go talk to Julie." Kayla says. I go sit on the couch and wait. I sit there for about 20 minutes before Kayla comes back. When she comes up to me Julie is with her. Julie is smiling and looks perfectly fine. "Julie can you give me a second with my sis?" Kayla asks. "Sure." She replies. Kayla comes over to me and begins whispering. "She doesnt remember anything about what just happened so just dont bring it up K? She thinks you guys just came here to hang out so im going to take her home. Once i get back well talk." She said. Before i have a chance to say anything she is out the door with Julie. I begin thinking. I cant believe what i just wittnessed. Am i loosing myu mind? I cant be because Julie saw it too. What did Kayla mean she doesnt remember? As i get lost in my train of thought Kayla gets back. She takes my hand and drags me up to her room. She plops me down on her bed and began pacing around the room. "Do you have any idea what happened out there? Did mom ever tell you anything?" Kayla questioned. "Well no mom never told me anything but i did research on my laptop on the way home from school yesterday and i think i know. Well its actually kind of a story. Angela called me a Varilist so i looked it up. Then i searched enimies of a Varilist and i found a Sveton which matched how Angela looked when she got mad at me at school. And i have a feeling shes a Sveton and her last name is Sve so it matches and I have a good feeling Daniel is a Skinge." I told her quietly. "Well everything you read was correct. You are a Varilist. Now i know its weird but its true." Kayla told me. "So, what, im a magical fairy vampire then? Am i gunna like sprout wings and grow fangs then fly off to magical fairy land?" I yell at her. "well kinda. Your fangs are going to come in soon. Im surprised they havent yet. And you will eventually bloom. But when that happens, well, its impossible to predict when it will happen." She quietly said back. "Bloom? What do you mean bloom? That makes no sense." I say irretated. "Look. Natia. I promise ill tell you more but i cant right now. I have to go discuss some things with your brother. Ill be back in a few hours but promise me you wont let anyone in the house. And i mean it. Lock all the doors and windows. I just want you to be safe." Kayla says quietly. She walks out of the room and gets Eric. Before i can ask where they are going they are already out the door. I watch them go and even though im mad at Kayla for not telling me more i do as she told me and lock every door and window. Its only 2:47 but I have a good feeling ill be alone for a long time. To pass time i take a nap on the couch. I wake up around 4:13 to the sound of my cell phone buzzing. I pick it up and its a text from Daniel. It says, *Can We Talk?* I instantly reply, *About what? I know enough already.* It takes him a few minutes to reply but eventually he says, *I know. And im sorry. Can I please just have a moment to talk to you. I swear i would never hurt you.* *Where are you now?* i ask. *Standing outside your door. Not to be a creep or anything but.....* The last part makes me laugh. I set my phone down and peek through the window. Sure enough there he is sitting on the door step I walk to the door and taking a deep breath i unlock the door. I slowly open the door leaving the screen door locked. He immediatly stands up at the sound of the door opening. He turns to face me and i can see he has several cuts accross his face and arms. Hes bleeding really bad and his eyes look sad. I stay quiet at the door. We stand there in silence staring at each other for a while. Finally he breaks the silence. "Look im very sorry. I just lost control for a minute and Angela needed to be taught a lesson. I know all of this is crazy to you but you better get used to it." he says. I stand there quietly and i dont respond. He gets a bit frustrated and pushes his hand through his hair. "This is all my fault. You probably never want to speak to me again. Its all my fault. This happens with everyone i meet." he says pacing back and forth. "Its not your fault and your wrong. Of course ill still want to talk to you. Your my friend. Im just a little mad that you did that in front of me and Julie. Mainly Julie." I say. He stops pacing and looks at me. We stare at each other for a few minutes. After a few minutes of quite stares he says, "Can i come in?" "Daniel i dont know. My sister would freak and Im still not sure i can trust you," i tell him. "Natia, i would never hurt you. I swear." He says as his sexy blue eyes meet mine again. "Ok. But just in case you try to even touch me ill just let you know 1 thing. I have a knife attached to my belt loop and since were going to be in the living room, a pistol stashed in the couch. Loaded and ready," I say showing him the knife. Slowly i let my fingers rest on the lock. I take a deep breath and slowly unlock the door. "Come in." I say as i open the door.

Bloom Chapter 2 I go the rest of the day without saying a word to Daniel. When the final bell rings i hop out of my chair and rush out of the room. I grab my stuff from my locker and rush onto the bus. I pull out my laptop and turn it on. I think back to what Angela said. "You little Varilist" Whats a Varilist? I type it into my computer and click on the first tab i see. Varilist, it reads, is the young offspring of a Metalin. A metalin is said to be a mythical being. They are said to be adult Fae who bred with a skinge, or vampire, and had an offspring. Varilists are usually born with a twin. In rare occasions both varilists will live but more frequently one of them will die around the age of 14. Varilists usually start seeing their powers around 15 or 16. Some things they experience are unknown strength, speed, agression and knowledge. I think back to today. First class. I knew all that about atoms. Ive never learned about an atom before. Then with angela when i smashed her against the locker and flipped her. Strength and agression. Then getting there i went so much faster than Daniel. Speed. I think about angelas eyes. theyn were red. I type in Varalist Ememies. Again i click on the first tab. It reads, Varalist Ememies and descriptions. 1. Bredkun: Pointy ears, vicious, lives in montainous areas. Takes on the appearance of a Wolf. Beware: Do not agress. Dangerous creature. May kill if feeling in danger. Avoid at all costs. 2. Clyfrin: At times of anger turns from human to a furocious beast the size of a grizzly bear. Beware: Highly murderous creature. Avoid eye contact when transformed. Eye contact makes it feel in danger and it may attack. Clyfrin attacks are nearly impossible to survive. Avoid at all costs. 3. Spaydle: Takes on appearance of a home pet. When agressed turns to a monsterous tiger sized beast that will attack first thing in sight. Beware: Highly murderous. Do not agress. Avoid at all costs. 4. Sveton: Takes on appearance of a human. Inhuman strength. at anger red eyes and fang like teeth. Beware: Extreamly dangerous. Do not push into agression for the Sveton is a highly murderous creature. Avoid at all costs. A Sveton. Is all this possible? I turn off my computer. I think. Theres no way im a varalist and no way Angelas a Sveton. My bus gets to my stop and i hop off the bus along with Angela, her friends and to my surprise, Daniel. I start walking home when I hear footsteps behind me. Im not sure who it is so i walk faster. I hear them speeding up. In fear its Angela i start to sprint. I feel a hand touch my shoulder as Im running and i drop my stuff, turn around and slam the person to the ground. Its Daniel. "Omg im so sorry. i didnt.. i thought... Im just... omg im sorry daniel i thought you were angela." "hes not Angela. Im Angela you dimwhit. " I hear a voice say. i look up from Daniel to see Angela standing a few feet away. "What are you doing here Angela?" I say clenching my fists. "Um Im going home. I could of been there by now if you hadnt just flipped my boyfriend." She snaps back. BOYFRIEND? So thats what she meant when she said i was hooking up with other peoples boyfriends. Omg i feel so stupid. "And again im sorry," I say. "Come on babe," she says helping Daniel up. As they walk by me i feel Daniel put something in my pocket. When they are out of sight i pull it out of my pocket. Its his number. I pick up my stuff and run home. The next day of school i take my seat in Chemistry. As the bell rings an anouncement comes from the loud speaker. "Would Angela Sve and Natasha Coleman please report to the principles office." calls a womans voice. I get up and head out of the room. When i get to the office Angelas already there sitting in a chair. "So girls. One of the ladies from the office showed me some footage from the hallway security cameras yesterday. And what i saw wasnt pleasant. Now what i want to know first. Natia why did you grab Angela like that?" The principle calmly asks me. So i tell him what Angela wrote and what she said to me and what she did to me that morning. "Now angela. What you did was far more severe than Natia. You vandalized school property, abused a student and bullied the student. As for Natia, you abused a student. Natia you will recieve two saturday detentions and Angela you will be recieving four saturday detentions, and for the vandalism, you will be expected to come in after school on friday and clean every locker door, and desk in this school. No ifs ands or buts. You are dissmissed." the principle says. I return to class and sit down. The rest of the day drones on. In Homeroom Daniel comes and sits next to me. "Hey. You know, what Angela did to you yesterday, she shouldnt have done. I broke up with her." He says. "Wow. Well im sorry again for smashing you yesterday," i apologize. "No problem." he says. We talk for the rest of homeroom. The next few days of school go by in a blur. Before i know it ive been in school for 2 weeks. Its Tuesday and Daniel and i have become very good friends with each other. At the end of school today he comes up to me at my locker. "Hey so do you wanna walk home together?" he asks. "Sure. Beats ridding the bus with Angela." I say half laughing. We head outside and start walking. We get about half way home without saying a word. Finally he says to me, "You know ive never met someone like you before. I mean your smart, your pretty, your strong and you always know what to say." "I dont always know what to say," I say blushing. He stops walking and grabs my arm with one hand. In the other he gently lifts my chin so Im facing him. "Well thats a matter of opinion," He says to me in an extremely sexy voice. Slowly he begins to lower his head towards mine. His lips are about to touch mine when, *Ring Ring RIng* He stops and looks at me funny. I pull out my phone and see who it is. Its Julie texting me. It says, ""Hey. Ive got a bit of trouble. By the lake. Hurry."" I tell Daniel. " We better hurry. Follow me. Ill take you to the lake." He says. We get to the lake to find Angela and a bunch of her friends throwing Julies stuff into the lake. "Angela stop." Daniel yells. "Leave her alone." Angela turns to see the two of us. "Oh so you brought your little baby doll with you huh." Angela says. "Just leave Julie alone." Daniel snaps back. "Oh ya? Make me." Angela taunts. Just then i see Daniel run toward Angela and in mid stride i caught a glimpse of his face. Hed gone completely pale and his eyes were an ember color. He had fangs sticking out of his mouth. At that same moment Angelas eyes went red and each one of her teeth went sharp and pointy. I hear the big smack as the two collid. The air was filled with the sound of growls, bodies slamming together, and struggling. Quickly i rushed to the lake grabbed Julie and started running dragging her behind. We kept running and we arrived at my house. "Get inside," i told her. I pushed her inside closed the door and locked it. I hurried to the window and peeked outside. All was quiet inside and out. "W...w...w...what was that?" Julie said. She sounded terrified. "I have no idea." I said to her not looking away from the window. "Hey girls what happened out there. You look like you saw a ghost or something," I hear kayla say from behind me. "I wish it was just a ghost." Julie replies. She begins crying and Kayla glances at me. "Natia what happened?" Kayla says calmly.

Bloom Chapter 1 There i was. Watching the trees pass by me in a blur. I had no control of stopping this car or even stopping my #life. Memories of my old home passed by me frequently. It was there when i noticed that those memories were all i had left of my old town. No one would be able to fix that..........not even my mother who is in the car with me. Her popping veins restrained me from saying a worse to her in worries not to stress her out even more. After many hours of driving, the car finally stopped. Mom leaned over, kissed my forehead, and took my earphones from my ears. The sutle sound of music faded away as i turned to face my mothers strained face. "Were here," she says gently pushing a stray piece of my hair behind my ear. I look out the car window to see a house that resembles every other house in the neighborhood. There were trees neatly alligned beside the sidewalk in front of the house. I grab my backpack and eager to exit away from my moms sad worried face i open the car door and hop out. Letting myself to the trunk i plop out my suitcases. My mother tries to help me but i hold them both tightly in both hands and i roll them down the sidewalk. "Natia..." i hear my mother call. My feet stop moving and i sigh before turning to face her. "Dont stay mad at me. Im only trying to help." her eyes are filling with tears. "I know mom." I say. She walks over to me and embraces me in a big hug just like she did when i was a little girl. "Be good ok? Your brother and sister are there to help." Her voice sounds all choked up and filled with saddness. "Alright mom. Goodbye." I walk up to the door and i hear my mother entering her car. "I love you," she says before she drives away fighting back tears. The sight of her leaving brings tears to my eyes. I can tell that she doesnt want to. My hand reaches up to knock on the door. Well heres to a brand new start. Ive never met my brother or sister before. Ive only seen pictures of them. My oldest brother Eric is the first to greet me. He takes my suitcases and hauls them upstairs. As I watch him walk away I am surprised with a big bear hug from behind. Its my sister Kayla. Shes 1 1/2 years older than me. I turn around to face her. "Natia! Omg. Your even more beautiful in person. You look just like Becca in the pictures I've seen. Where is she by the way? Is she staying with mom?"Kayla blurts. I meet her eyes and she notices the devestated look in my eyes. "Omg. What happened?" Kayla says as she grabs me in another hug. "Leukemia. Thats what happened. She died last year." I say fighting back tears. " Im so sorry. Dont cry. Itll be ok." She says stroking my hair. Her eyes are teary and red. Smiling at me she says, "Dont worry Natia. Your gunna love it here. It'll be fun." I gently smile at her and head to my room. "Natia? Breakfast," Kayla calls from downstairs. Its 70 am and my first day of school is today which is why i havent gotten up yet. "Natia!" she calls again. I bury myself in my covers and pull my pillow over my head. About 5 minutes later i hear footsteps followed by my door opening. "NATIA. Get your booty up. School starts in 1 hour and you havent even sat up yet. Now come on," Kayla says as she rips my pillow and covers off of me. I finally surrender and get up. I take my shower do my hair and eventually pick out the cutest outfit i have. I grab my shorts which are dark blue denim with white trim and my black designer tights. Then i grab my yellow skintight tanktop and put a pink low top long sleeved shirt over it. I finally grab my backpack and my sneakers and i walk out the door to the bus not even waiting for Kayla. Every morning back in Florida i would always go for a morning walk at 5 am all by myself. I arrive at the bus stop to see a bunch of other kids there too. Most of the girls are wearing super skinny jeans with half see though skin tight t shirts on, and most of the guys are wearing baggy pants, hoodies and backwards hats. As i walk up i hear lots of comments about me. "Hey check out the newbie. Whats with the tights? Can You Un Der Stand Us? What a freak show. Lets poke her with a stick, see if she bites." Just then Kayla walks up. "Hey Kaitlyn. Look at the newbie freak show that ended up at our bus stop," one of the girls said to Kayla. "First of all angela, its Kayla not Kaitlyn. Second of all shes my sister. And third of all, if your going to be a stuck up little brat then why dont you run back home call your mommy and get the f**k out of town." Kayla remarked. "Oh what a boss. Looks like little Angela lost again" i heard some kid say. I looked at Angela whose face was beat red. She had her hands in fists and i swear i saw steam come out her ears. Then without another word angela stormed off to the other side of the bus stop. *RRRRINGGGG* The morning school bell rings and i rush inside. I go to the office and they give me my locker number and code. They also give me my schedule which includes what time, where its at and who my teacher is. My first class is Chemistry with Mr. Creese. I walk out of the office and look at my locker number. K117. I head down hall K. As I approach my new locker I see something horrible. Right there at the locker directly next to mine is Angela. Shes standing there with a bunch of other girls and from what i can hear their discusing different lip glosses. I politely push through the crowd of wanna-bes and get to my locker. "Oh. Well look who decided to show up here." Angela says. What a snob. I think to myself. I look at my locker code. 12-43-76. "Oh what. To scared to talk back? What a little baby." She says as i continue to ignore her. I start turning my lock to 12. I get to 8 when i feel something hot and wet pour onto my head. Its Angelas coffee. "Oops. Sorry. It spilt. Hahahaha." She chuckles. Ok. That does it. I turn around to face her wide spread grin. Irretated i say, "You know what Angela? Why dont you and your little Wanna-Be famous beothches kiss my butt and walk off a cliff. After that why dont you go take a gun to your little heads, pull the trigger and swallow the little dignity you have left." That shuts Angela up. It isnt until after i say all of it that i realize a large group of people have gathered around our lockers. Alot of them are commenting on how i just dissed Angela and alot of them are on Angelas side commenting on how dumb i am for doing that. Satisfied i open my locker and grab my stuff for Chemistry. I then walk away leaving a mortified Angela standing there defenseless. As i walk into Chemistry class i take the last open seat just as the class bell rings. The desks each have two chairs at them for lab partners. Im sitting next to a seemingly nice girl. She has misty blue eyes, brown hair and pale, freckly skin. She turns to me and says "Hi. Im Julia. Or Julie. Or Jules. Just dont call me ju. I hate it when people call me that. Its mean. Anyway enough about me. Your the new girl right? I heard Angela gave you a hard time this morning. And how you totally burned her up about it. Am i talking to much? I think i am. Sorry i have a problem with talking. I talk to much. So tell me about you." "Ok. Lets start with hi. Im Natia Coleman. I just moved here from Florida so not so used to the weather." I calmly say to her. "Oh. Well its kind of weird that your coming to school in the middle of the year. I bet thats hard for you huh? I started 4th grade in the middle of the year. Actually it was two months before school ended. We just finished learning about Atoms and the Atomic theory." She blurs. "hushhh. Attention students. Class has begun. As you can see we have a new student here. Her name is Natia Coleman and i expect you all to treat her with respect. Natia im Mr. Creese and i will be your Chemistry teacher. Now, who can tell me about atoms?" Mr. Creese said. Almost instinctly Julia shot her hand up in the air. She was the only one to raise her hand. "And once again class Ms. Julia is the only one to seem to know the answer." Slowly i raised my hand. "Ahh. Natia. Very good. So can you tell me about atoms?" He said to me. I began," Well the fundamental building block of matter is the atom. An atom consists of three main parts. Protons neutrons and electrons. Protons have an electrical charge, Neutrons have no electricle change and Electrons have a negative electricle charge. Protons and neutrons are found together in what is called the neucleous of the atom. Electrons actually circle around the neucleous. Chemicle reactions involve interactions between the electrons of one atom and the electrons of another atom. Atoms which have different amounts of electrons and protons have a positive or negative electrical charge that are called ions. when atoms bond together they can make larger blocks of matter called molecules." I glance around and see several kids just staring at me blankly. "Very good. See class now if you would stop texting and pay attention during class maybe you would be smart like Natia. Thank you Natia." Mr. Creese anounced. "Wow. That was impressive for a first day," Julia said to me. I just smiled back at her and listened as Mr. Creese as he talked about particles of a reaction and the monosetheis theory. *RRRINGGGGG* I hear the bell for the end of class. I get up and start picking up my books when i feel a slight tap on my shoulder. I turn around to see a tall handsome boy. He has deep blue eyes and tencious brown locks that lay atop his head in an almost sexy way. "Hey," he says. "That was pretty good. Your Natia right? Im Daniel Jackson." "Ya Im Natia and nice to meet you," I say as i shake his hand. I finish picking up my books and we walk out of class together. "So whats your next class?"He asks me. "I dont know let me check," I reply. I pull out my schedule and read off my next class. "Um next i have Math with Mrs. Clinten. " I say. "Same here. Ill walk you to class then." He says back politely. In my head im saying, OMG. your so hot. Wanna go out? But what i say to him? "Oh. Sure. Thanks. I have to go to my locker first." I say. "Ok. Ill walk you there." He says. We arrive at my locker and find Angela at hers. She looks as if she wants to kill me when she sees Daniel with me. I open my locker and grab my math stuff. As i close my locker i face Daniel. "After You," He says as he guestures towards the classroom. I politely take up on his kind gesture and go ahead. He follows me to class and we take our seats right next to each other. During all of math class i couldnt even pay attention. All i can think of is how hot Daniel is and how nice he is. I abruptely wake up from my daydream when the bell rings. "Hey. It seems we have homeroom together." He says as he hands me my schedule which had fallen on the floor. "And Geography. And gym. And English. You sure you didnt copy my schedule?" He says laughing. I start to blush. He helps me up from my chair and we walk out of class. I head to my locker with him behind again and find a big surprise. Written across my locker in what looks like bright red lipstick is ""Beware. Ugly beast stops here. Watch out. She may bite"" "Omg. I cant believe she did this," I say holding back tears as i start wiping it off. "Who?" Daniel asks. "Angela." I reply. Without another word I walk down the hall with Daniel struggling to keep up. I find Angela at a friends locker trying on different perfumes. Not even thinking about what Im doing i grab Angela by her collar and hold her up against a locker. "You know what Angela? What is it that you hate about me huh? Is it the fact that im better than you? Or is it that your just a litle beotch who cares about no one but herself?" I yell at her. "Um. None of the above. as if I would be jealous of you. All you are is a little whore who seems to be hooking up with other peoples boyfriends by second period. And if thats not enough why dont you go tell your b***h of a sister to go f**k her dad." Angela yells back. That does it. without warning i slam Angela into another locker and punch her in the face. I let go of her shirt and grab her neck and wrist. I then flip her over onto her back. She gets up and graps me by the throat and slams my hard into the ground. Wiping bood off her face i swear i saw her irises turn red and fangs in her mouth. She says to me,"You shouldnt have messed with me you little Varilist." She lets go off my throat and i look at her eyes again. They are back to their normal shade off ember green. She stands straight up and I lay there holding myself up with my elbows. Just then Daniel runs up and helps me up. "Are you ok? What the heck just happened?" he asks. I ignore his questions and he guides me back away from them.
