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.
