Amaya was riding on her bicycle heading home when she accidentally saw the school bullies with a junior female student. She seems to have gotten beaten up by the boys. Amaya hopped down from her bicycle and sneaked towards them with a catapult in her hand. She looked around and found a big stone, she picked it up and smirked before turning back at them and aiming the catapult directly at their leader. She shot him hard and quickly hid,
" arghhh", Michael shouted in pain.
" Who is that?",
They looked at him worriedly,
"Are you okay?", one of them checked the spot that had gotten red and swollen already.
"Who the hell is that? show yourself!", Michael yelled angrily. Just then another stone hit Peter.
" argh....", Peter groaned in pain,
" stop being a coward and show yourself", Michael fumed looking around with others giving the junior the perfect opportunity to run away. They wanted to go after him but Kelvin's shout stopped them,
" over there", he pointed in the direction. They all turned to see Amaya hopping on her bicycle, they ran after her but she was too fast. The four of them stopped running, breathing heavily and looking so annoyed.
" Who the hell could that be?", Wilson asked no one in particular,
" seeing her in our school uniform simply means she's attending the same school as us", Kelvin pointed out,
" There's only one girl I know in how a school that's so good at catapulting",
" Who?", they asked at once,
" Amaya", he replied with an evil smirk,
" That's right, I didn't even remember, how dare her", Wilson fumed,
" today is such a bad day, we got a newbie more hot and handsome than we are and snatched every single attention we owned and now we lose that junior student all because of a nosy female student with her foolish catapulting skill", Peter said making Michael angrier. He grabbed him roughly by the collar and punched him,
"Now get this into your head, no one ever or will ever get what belongs to us, we are going to teach the newbie a lesson and make him realize he came to the wrong school and that Amaya? I'm going to teach her the lesson of her life, the one she'll never forget", he said smiling evilly.
Jack and his friends kept on looking around for Romeo, roaming about and asking anyone they came across if they had seen him but no one seemed to have any idea of whom they were looking for.
Eddie walked quietly down the street trying to recollect what happened last before he fainted twelve years ago, the day he was turned into a vampire but he didn't seem to recollect anything useful. He was still thinking when he locked eye contact with someone but then he realized he was supposed to pass in the other direction and not go straight so he changed direction.
Kalern was looking around when he saw a boy in his school uniform with smooth hair approaching, he looked up at him and Kalern froze. His mouth hung open and looked excited about seeing Romeo but it wasn't Romeo. It was Eddie. He was about to call him when he took the other direction, going through the crowd. Kalern shouted his name and ran after him but the crowd couldn't allow him to meet up with him. Jack and Mark ran up to him and asked what the matter was,
" I saw Romeo",
"Are you for real?", Jack asked to be sure he was hearing right,
" yes but he left immediately after he saw me ",
" And why would he do that? Maybe he didn't really see you", Mark said,
" maybe I believe so", he said but he was sure he saw him but why he ignored him was what makes him confused. Just then a thief snatched his tag away, it was a golden tag every vampire has and it represents their clan.
" hey", Kalern shouted but the thief kept on running.
"What a thief, hey! that belongs to me", Mark yelled after him but it only made the thief run faster,
" he doesn't know who he's dealing with", Jack said smirking evilly,
" he doesn't even know how to run", Kalern said making jest of the thief.
" What a pity, he steals from the wrong man, having his liver for dinner and his blood as wine wouldn't be a bad idea right?",
Jack licked his lips,
" then let's not let the meal slip away", Kalern said and they flashed after him.
The thief got to the middle of two buildings, meeting his gang which was five in number. Amaya was riding by when she saw them and stood to watch what was going on and wondered why four gangs were ganging up on a guy not knowing he was one of them.
" oh my God you stole gold", a guy laughed joyfully,
" yes", he replied grinning,
" wow this is amazing", they all rejoiced,
" give me back my tag", Mark said dreadfully making them all turn to him but then they burst into tears.
" your tag? sorry man but your tag is gone", one of them said and burst into laughter once again,
" so they stole the man's gold, those bastards", Amaya said and brought out her catapult and aimed it at one of them.
Jack and others were ready to suck their blood dry, Mark grabbed the thief's hand and twisted it to the back causing him to cry out in pain. He collected his tag while others charged at them but one of them received a shot in his ear and fell in pain. The others looked at her as she fired another man right at his manhood and he immediately fell to the ground, crying and screaming in pain. Amaya quickly hopped on her bicycle and ran away, the gangs tried to pursue her but unfortunately, she was gone.
The vampires appeared on the way watching her ride away,
" What a brave little girl", Mark said,
" she's putting on the same outfit as that of Romeo's", Kalern said,
" Are you sure?",
" yes",
" Maybe they are probably in the same association or what?", Jack asked looking confused,
" trailing her will bring us to him if Kalern is right", Mark said and their eyes turned red.
Stella paced to and fro with Tom in her arms, after seeing that the baby was fast asleep, she placed him in the cot carefully so as not to wake him up. She smiled and pecked him before exiting the room to the dining room to join her husband and Bryan.
"Honey, Amaya is not back yet", Benson said trying not to sound angry,
" I just hope that stubborn girl does not get in trouble", Stella said taking her seat,
" Is she aware that I'm back?",
" no", Bryan quickly replied,
" you didn't tell her", Stella asked,
" I didn't get the chance", Bryan said still concentrating on his food. Benson was about to reply when he received a message, he checked it and sighed,
" what's the matter?",
" my attention is needed, over there",
" that means?",
" I'm leaving... tomorrow afternoon", he said and took her hand into his, " I know I'm not spending enough time with you and I'm very so...",
" you don't need to be", she interrupted him and smiled, "You've always been a caring husband, you are just busy for the main time and I understand",
Benson smiled and kissed the back of her hand, "Thanks", he looked at Bryan who was smiling at them, "I'm sorry to take you guys to school tomorrow, you and Ama...when will this girl be back?", he frowned remembering she's not on the table,
" she'll be a fine dad", Ryan said, resuming back to his food,
" where the hell could she be by this...",
She came in just then, "Mum! I'm...back...", she lowered her voice when she locked eye contact with her dad's angry face.
" talk of the witch", Ryan mumbled to himself,
" where have you been?", Ben asked in between his teeth,
"a hahaha....Dad is back", Amaya shouted excitedly, laughing as she ran to hug him. She's being a drama queen to avoid her dad's wrath. She hugged him happily,
" Dad you have no idea how much I missed you", she whined. She has this soft spot in Ben that she can quickly ease his anger with her smiles and whining habit.
" why are you late?", Ben said trying to maintain his angry mood which his wife knew wasn't going to last.
" Trust me, Dad, if I knew you'd be coming home today, I would have been the first person to welcome you, you know", she said and winked at him forcing him to smile,
" but Amaya, it's not a good idea to walk in the night",
"Yes sir", she saluted. She turned and her eyes met her mum's who was casting her a dangerous look. Her smile faded at once but she quickly faked it and avoided her gaze as she quickly went upstairs to drop her backpack and change her wears.
" you're over-pampering Ama, she needs to be cautioned",
" she apologized already",
" but...",
" your food is getting cold", he interrupted her. Stella sighed and looked away.
