Recap:
‘’I also found what I think is a hunter’s scent at our school. Be extra careful around him and the humans. No wolfing out! We will track him tonight! I think he is following my mate!’’
Chapter 13
~ Cleo’s Pov ~
I walk up the path, leading to the school gates. Everyone is chatting and being very sociable. They look at me like anyone would. I’m normal. There is nothing wrong with me.
Like hell there is nothing wrong with me! I’m the Queen of all supernatural!
As soon as anyone steps through those doors, they remember. They remember my screams. They remember my change. My face. My eyes, my skin, my mouth, my teeth. They remember the fact that I can make things move without touching them with a click of my fingers.
They remember.
They look at me with horror and disgust. Because I’m an outsider. I’m different. And it scares them. Big time.
But I feed off of fear. I feed off of fright, terror and panic. And I like it. It fuels the monster inside of me.
So when I get through those front doors, and I watch everyone recognise and remember, it reminds me of how much of a monster I am. Their faces change and become aware of me. But I don’t care anymore. I don’t care what they think of me.
For fun, I snap my fingers, lighting my hand on fire. The flame dances in my palm and it tickles. I smirk at their expression on their face as I bring my hand up to my mouth and blow the fire in their direction. They scurry off immediately. Suckers.
I think back to the times in school where I was no different to anybody else.
~ Flashback (before everyone knew that she was a vampire) ~
I sat at the back of the group, bored to death, as usual. I was in gym class, and we were learning a bit of theory before starting our lesson.
‘’To find your pulse, you have to use your forefinger and your middle finger together and place them on the inner side of your wrist. Never use your thumb as you also have a pulse in there too.’’ My teacher rambles on.
‘’Okay, to test this, we are going to go a minute of silence and count our pulse. Everyone find your pulse.’’ She asks.
Every student starts checking their arms, necks, ankles and so forth. Thank god I fed yesterday otherwise I would have murdered someone by now. I can hear everyone’s pulse beating away, like a time bomb, ready to explode.
And that’s when I realised, I don’t have a pulse.
So I just sat there for a minute, pretending to count a beat in my arm. I watch all the student’s faces count repetitively in their heads.
When I was asked how many BPM I had, I just said a number that sounded right compared to all the other students in my class.
Then we started on the practical part of our lesson. We were told we were doing long distance running. I smiled, knowing I could never get out of breath, mainly because I would have no breath to catch.
We ran 800 meters, and by the time I crossed the finish line, I was well ahead of the main group of runners. I even sprinted a bit at the end.
Obviously I made it look like I was finding it hard to breathe after the race was over. People would start questioning me otherwise and I wouldn’t want that to happen.
When I get bored later on in the day I start to make lessons more entertaining.
In maths, I decided to use my telekinesis to move objects. I started off with the teachers chair. When she tried to sit down, I moved it so she fell on bottom! The class bursted out with laughter.
Later in the lesson, I moved the whiteboard pen to the whiteboard and wrote on it, ‘I’m with stupid’ and drew an arrow next to it pointing towards my teacher. The funny part was that no one realised it till the end of the lesson when she was about to start writing up the homework tasks!
I also play around with the science equipment, just to annoy Miss Pateman. For example, I swapped one of the flask labels from hydrochloric acid to water and pure oxygen gas to helium gas.
I heard a large bang in a year 7 class practical in the afternoon, which I know for sure came from the science block. Hehe…
~ Flashback over ~
I smile to myself as I walk to my next class. Good times.

I’m in art. I can feel all the stares at me but I shrug them off. To take my mind off the subject I talk to Autumn and Mackenzie.
‘’Hey. How are you?’'
‘’Fine thanks and you?’’ Autumn replies.
‘’Good thanks.’’ I reply.
‘’You know, it all makes sense now.’’ Says Mackenzie.
‘’What do you mean?’’ I question.
‘’As in, why you were so suspicious and secretive. You never really said too much about yourself. You’re very smart and creative yet you lack some social skills.’’ She replied.
My inner queen didn’t like the fact that Mackenzie was speaking so informally and disrespectfully towards me. However, I held back the growl that Camilla was about to emit.
‘’Err…thanks. Have you always been that outgoing?’’ I ask.
Mackenzie laughs it off. ‘’Haha… you’re funny. Anyways, I want to know what you can do. Do you have any special powers? Or can you run really fast. Ooh, what about sunlight? Do you have fangs?’’ She blabbers on.
‘’Enough! Who knows who’s listening in into this conversation!’’ I demand.
Mackenzie blushes and rubs the back of her neck.
‘’Sorry, she isn’t usually like this.’’ Says Autumn.
We laugh at this.
‘’So, what’s been happening?’’ I ask.
‘’Well, you know there was a rumour about 30 newbies coming to the school?’’ I nod. ‘’Ye well have all come today. And let me tell you now, they’re effin’ hot!’’ She answers.
‘’Haha.’’ I laugh. Well obviously. They’re werewolves!
‘’You’ll get to see them at break. By the way that’s…’’ She waits for the bell.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
‘’…Now! Come on quick!’’
I rush off as she pulls my arm, having just enough time to pack up my stuff.
~
I smell dog. Wet dog to be precise. The pack! The newbies. I remember now. My wolf gets all fidgety. I can feel it in the back of my mind. Must be the feeling of being around her own kind for a change, I guess.
I them smell something amazing. The smell of pine and chocolate wafts up my nose. Mmmmm… ‘Mate!’ Camilla shouts.
I make sure my scent is neutral as I remembered my ring today.
I nod to myself as I run over to him, push every girl in my way and jump into his arms. I feel bolts of electricity rush through me every time I touch him. Other girls swirl around him as I start to become very jealous of all the looks he is getting. However, he doesn’t seem too bothered by their presence.
I hug him tight and give a death glare to anyone watching.
He pulls back. I let go of him, my face dropping as the sparkles cease to be.
I look into his eyes as I see that he is my mate. I just know it. I get lost in his big, bright, blue eyes.
I hear a cough and I see Autumn looking weirdly at me. I blush and my mate and I part.
I look him up and down. He is perfect. Wonderful. I take in his scent, just to be sure it’s him and I'm not dreaming. It is my mate however, feel the energy around me and realise two things. One, he is a werewolf and two, the packs Alpha!
