Chapter 24
“Oh, sorry sir,” I looked at the vampire. “How much longer do we have to go?” I asked sweetly.
Nicholas gazed at me. “Two hours,” there was a bit of disdain his voice, and I soon realized why.
Emma Phillips was trying to burp the alphabet, Faith and Shade were arguing about how important it was to be thick,
The girls in the back were playing loud pop music, the guys were being nasty and shouting, and the ones in the way front were playing movies without ear buds or headphones.
Now imagine hearing all that, with vampire hearing. I looked at him with wide eyes. “Does this mean I can’t play music?”
Nicholas stood and clapped his hands loudly, drawing everyone’s attention. “Alright, everything off, now,”
Out of fear, it soon went deathly silent. “Now we’ll all be bored,” I piped up, the only one being used to both the supernatural and vampires.
Nicholas looked at me with dark green eyes. “Alright, driver, play the kind of music you like.” I pouted and hunched in my seat as the teacher sat back down, fully expecting classic music or some other trash.
I perked up as ‘My type‘ suddenly blasted into the bus, making some girl whoop loudly. Nicholas covered his eyes with a hand, looking utterly horrified.
Turns out, the bus driver had amazing taste, and I was determined to meet the person when the fun ride ended.
I tapped my foot to the beat, dancing the best one could in a seat, and I thought I did a pretty good job.
“Alright, turn it off,” the vampire snapped as ‘Up‘ started playing.
I huffed and glanced at the teacher. “Party pooper,” I whined.
His lips rose and I was startled at the smile on his face before he turned and stared blankly in front of him.
I nibbled on my lip and looked out the window, happy to look at the new scenery. I leaned on the cold glass and let a low sigh leave me, eyes drooping
closed as I fell asleep again.
When I woke up next, we had arrived, and I stood eagerly, wanting out of the bus. I couldn’t however, because Nicholas took his time, making sure the students got out and didn’t leave anything behind.
“You’re awesome,” I told the old woman who drove the bus, who had a nose ring. She giggled as I didn’t bother using the steps, and instead jumped out
of the bus.
“Single file line, we’re going up to the hotel, slowly,” Nicholas said firmly, and everyone shuffled forward, tired from the long ride.
Except me of course, for some reason, I was full of energy. I jumped on rocks, climbed over logs, and chased squirrels as we walked through the forest.
“Stay with the group,” the teacher barked when I strayed off the path, the only one who wasn’t in the perfect line.
I sighed and half heartedly obeyed, trailing a good distance behind the line of students. I looked up and gasped in delight as snow began falling I reached up, catching a snowflake in my hand.
“Raven, are you trying to get in trouble, or are you so absent minded you can’t listen to simple orders?” I looked up startled, the teacher frowning at
- me.
I smiled at the vampire. “Usually the second one, but I certainly have my days.”
He shook his head and sighed. “Go, I want you in front of me, something tells me I’m going to have to keep both eyes on you.” There was something in his gaze, but I didn’t think to ask any questions, and instead went far ahead of the group, determined to see everything I could before I was cramped
inside.
As I bent down to touch a cold stream under a bridge, Nicholas grabbed my wrist and pulled me up sharply “Raven Light, do I need to get you a leash?” He asked with narrowed eyes.
I looked away and pressed my lips together. “Probably,” I admitted, and I don’t think the vampire teacher liked that much, because he had a hand on my shoulder the rest of the way up.

Chapter 24
“So, yeah, that’s basically everything that happened,” I told Faith as I unpacked my clothes in our shared room. “Then I came here, and left that note I told you about,”
“Raven, I don’t think running off, again, is going to help your issues.” Faith told me.
I shrugged and rubbed my face. “Yeah well, I don’t think, I just,” I looked at Faith and winced. “I couldn’t be in that house for another second,”
Faith nodded and paused, fingers going still on the pillow she was fluffing. “Do you think they will show up? Like when you came to my house that one time?”
I gaped at her and gulped. “Let’s hope not, for everyone’s sake,” I shivered dramatically and ran my fingers through my dyed black hair, green eyes shining. “Want to sneak out of the hotel?”
Faith pointed at me. “That right there, that’s your problem, you already got in trouble with Mr. Nicholas, why would you sneak out?”
I shrugged and grabbed my coat. “Because, I want to play in the snow, besides, how is anyone going to know?”
