"IDIOT!" the King screeched. Toyo flinched as if the King had struck him.
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE?" he continued to yell angrily.
"The Vampire Society figured out that Aiko was at X Aacademy," Toyo said quietly. "So I sent her away."
"Without the protection of other vampires," the King hissed. "Suppose they find out where she is now. Who will protect her? She's as good as dead now!" The King sighed irritably and strode towards the door.
"Inform the Society that I will not be available for the next year," he said coldly. "And this time, don't mess it up." The King strode out of the room, leaving Toyo to clench his teeth and wish he was dead.
"A new school," Aiko breathed, stepping into Briar High.
"I'll say," said a kind voice from beside her. Aiko turned. To her right was a thin, rather beautiful girl with hair below her shoulders and a thin, gentle face, a familiar face...
"Yeah," Aiko said, and she and the girl began walking down the halls together. "I'm Aiko Johnson."
"Elaine Matthews," the girl introduced herself, and the two of them shook hands and beamed when they both realized that they would in fact become good friends.
"So, what do you have first period?" Elaine asked curiously. Aiko checked her schedule.
"History," she said.
"Me too," Elaine smiled. "Let's sit next to each other." Aiko beamed, glad to have made a friend already.
"Okay!" she said happily. Elaine had a locker next to Aiko's, so when they both opened their lockers an envelope apiece fell out of each locker.
"What...?" Aiko said confusedly, picking hers up. The envelope contained six letters. Aiko read the first.
Dear Aiko,
I'm going to miss you a lot. Toyo's just a big jerk... he won't even tell us why he sent you away! Just remember I'll be your best friend ever!
~ May
Aiko whispered, "You're the best, May," and pulled out a second one.
Dear Aiko,
I swear to you, if Toyo does anything as stupid as sending you away I'm going to lock him in the closet for eternity!!
~Leo
Aiko tried not to imagine Toyo suffocating in a closet.
Dear Aiko,
Ever since you left, James and I have regretted how we've treated you over the past year and a half. We hope you'll forgive us.
~Manny and Jason
Aiko nearly burst out crying, but forced herself not to in front of Elaine.
Dear Aiko,
I haven't been able to make a single joke since you left. Life is so boring now... well, if you're down, just try to picture Toyo in his underpants. Hey, a joke!
~ Wyatt
Aiko giggled.
Dear Aiko,
Despite what Toyo may have told you, we all love you. We all miss you, Toyo included. Whatever the reason for him sending you away, I'm sure it was a good reason. The idiot's locked himself in his room; he's that upset. Anyway Aiko we WILL be seeing you soon (you didn't think we'd abandon you like that, did you?)
~ Sebastian
"I love you, Sebastian," Aiko sighed.
Dear Aiko,
Screw this Academy-- it sucks without you. After this year I'm dropping out and seeing you!
Love you, remember that,
~ Abigail
"I got a letter from Abby!" Aiko said happily.
"Who's that?" Elaine asked curiously. She had been watching Aiko read her letters and was greatly entertained by Aiko's constant change in expression.
"My friend from my old school," she replied. "Wait, there's another letter..." Aiko shook the envelope. A small piece of paper fluttered out of it.
I will always protect you.
The words were written in an elegant, beautiful script. But there was no signature on the letter.
"It's from Blaine!" Elaine cried happily.
"Who's that?" Aiko asked distractedly, still staring at the anonymous note.
"My twin brother," Elaine said, hugging the letter. "He's the best brother ever, but he's always so busy with work since he has such an important position."
"What does your letter say?"
"He's coming to visit! For a whole year!" Elaine gaped at Aiko.
"You should come meet him with me!" she said cheerfully. "You'll love him!" Aiko smiled at Elaine and said, "Yeah, I'd love to meet your brother!" A blast of wind suddenly swept through the school. Elaine's hair whipped behind her, revealing two scars on her neck.
Vampire bites.
"Elaine..." Aiko gasped. "Your neck." Elaine looked horrified.
"It's just an old scar," she said hastily. "Nothing important..."
"Elaine, I know a vampire bite when I see one," Aiko said, firmly pushing back her hair to reveal the bite marks on her own neck. Elaine covered her mouth with her hands.
"You too...?" she choked. Aiko nodded.
"Yes," she said quietly. "There are vampires at X Academy."
"'X Academy'?" Elaine echoed. "That's your old school? Then you must be the girl the Society's been searching for!"
"Shush, please," Aiko hushed, glancing around. "Are you on the Society's side?"
"No," Elaine said determinedly. "My brother was, at first, until a few months ago. He sort of... works for the Society."
"I'm not meeting him," Aiko said crossly.
"Aiko, I told you he's not on their side anymore! Just please, come meet him with me. You'll see he's a wonderful person."
"You're a spy. You're trying to lead me to an Elder."
"Aiko, I'm human and I hate the Vampire Society. Just please, meet my brother. He's the greatest ever." Aiko sighed.
"Fine," she agreed. "But I swear to God, if you're trying to trick me..."
"You'll use your Chosen One power on me," Elaine grinned. "I'm telling you, you won't regret it!" Aiko clutched the anonymous note firmly and hoped that whoever wrote it would protect her if Blaine was a spy.
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE?" he continued to yell angrily.
"The Vampire Society figured out that Aiko was at X Aacademy," Toyo said quietly. "So I sent her away."

Glance the other way
Rip your heart out
I just don't care anymore
You're useless
And uncaring
You know nothing!
Yet you pretend you do
You're a pretender
A pretender is just a liar in disguise
A pretender is a faker
A pretender hides
A pretender is a maker
Of the dark abyss
You told me once
I told you twice
Now what?
Do we forget the past?
Live for the future?
Or remember and continue on our path?
...Decisions...Decisions...
Left or right?
Up or down?
Wrong or right?
Please give me the answer
For I do not know
Right and wrong any longer
Rip your heart out
I just don't care anymore
You're useless
And uncaring
You know nothing!
Yet you pretend you do
You're a pretender
A pretender is just a liar in disguise
A pretender is a faker
A pretender hides
A pretender is a maker
Of the dark abyss
You told me once
I told you twice
