-Chapter seven-
-Bloodlust-
Candy was at her locker moaning to Fiona, trying to
distract herself, even before she began, she knew it
wouldnt work, it was impossible to distract yourself when
you were that thirsty, yet she still tried frugally to distract
herself - I hate maths; its so repetitive, same shit all the
time. I cant wait until I can drop it and do something better
with my time.
Do you, like, do maths every time? Cant you, I dunno,
start later, so you can drop it straight away, or just skip it,
she asked, while she was staring off into space.
I wish. But no, if we start earlier at a new place the longer
we can stay there, still wish I could start out later and if Iskip it all the time the school will notice -sadly, Candice
said, slamming the locker shut with unintentional force so
there was a slight indentation of her hand print. When she
noticed what she did, Candy glanced around quickly visibly
and mentally checking that no one noticed anything
suspicious, than began trying to smooth the indentation
out.Crap, crap, crap, Candy murmured under her breath, still
trying to smooth it out, checking every few seconds that no
one had noticed anything.
What? Fiona asked, looking in Candices general
direction.
Just frigging dented the locker- a great, big, bloody hand
print, right smack bang in the middle. Oh for gods sake
could anything else go wrong for me today? Candice said

in a hushed voice, dropping her hand and leaning back
onto the locker facing Fiona.
Whats the matter? even though Fiona couldnt see the
resigned expression she new Candice well enough to hearin her voice.
Nothing, she sighed through her nose, but then Fiona
noticed she didnt breathe in.
Candy tell me, whats up? Fiona insisted - Candice knew
she might as well tell her because Fiona wouldnt let it
drop; she would keep badgering her until Candice spilled.
I am just really hungry. Or more accurately- thirsty,
she said the word thirsty, really quietly, full of regret andshame.
Why. I mean cant you hunt animals? Thats what you do
isnt it? Instead of humans, Fiona asked.
No. I did that last night. I have tried everything. I dont
want to hurt people. But I need to. I don't want to end up
killing Owen, or someone here.
As she said that Owen came up behind her, and she heardCandy groan slightly.
Hi Candy. Hi Fiona. You ok Candy? You look pale. I mean
paler than usual. Owen said his thoughts full of concern
for her - that defiantly wasnt helping the situation.
Candy felt the heat dripping off Owen in bucketfuls. The
thump of his heart ringing into her ears, the blood running
all over his body it would feel so good to be able to drink
him. His sweet blood would taste so nice.
No!a voice inside Candices head yelled out, blocking out
the thirsty thoughts, He is my friend, I will not hurt him, no
matter how thirsty I am, there is no chance, lets just go
and hunt some animals! A damn lion if I am that thirsty -
but not him!
When the more human voice shut-up, the thirsty, vampire
part started up again - it would be too easy to get him by

himself. She could ask to talk to him in privet, knock him
out, snap his neck then feed off him, or do it while he was
still alive having the blood still pumping around his body
while she was draining him, so all she would have to do isask him to talk privately, she could do it now...
Shut up! NO! I mean it.
Hes basically asking for it though. His instincts told him
that we were dangerous, yet he ignored em and came
running.
And? I am glad he did. I like him and I will not harm him.
Why. I mean what is the point. He is dying now isnt he?
What, no he bloody is not!Sure he is. He is human is he not? Why not speed along
the natural progress, you know save him a load of suffering
in the long run?
Because it isnt my place. I wont play god with Owen?
Boring! Why not? Have you seen the news? Kids are
playing god with other kids lives why not you?
Because I am not like those kids!Whats stopping you? Give in.
Whats stopping me? I have a good human conscience-
But youre not human are you. You have been denying
yourself for too long, I know you want to!
La, la, la, la, la, la, la! I cant hear you. I cant hear you!
Youre only ignoring me because you know I am making
more sense than your feeble attempts to persuade yourself
that you can live without blood. Its what we are!
What is that? A cold blooded murder? Thats you not me.
We are the same you know it and want it. Stop denying
yourself the simple pleasures in life!
Fine, I will deny myself chocolate, eyeliner for month,
human blood isnt a pleasure it is a curse!
You keep telling yourself that!
Okay I will don't worry.

Fine I will just have some nice luscious blood, dripping all
down me! Nice and warm and tasty, sweet my favourite
kinda;
I still cant here you!All of the silent arguing went on inside Candys head for
about half a second- then she blurted out to Fiona-
I am sorry I have to go, I cant do this. Fiona please tell
them where I have gone. Im sorry, but I cant be here. I
dont want to do any of this - I cant. She gushed out still
not breathing in. Then she ran so fast that Owen was
surprised that she was failing P.E when they were doing
hurdles.What was that about? asked Owen, facing Fiona.
Fiona just shook her head slightly, and then said to Owen,
Could you do me a favour? Can you take me to Jaspers
class? Please I need to talk to them and I know if I go by
myself I will go into the wrong class - again.
Five minutes later Jasper ran up to the top of forest creekand found Candice in a state of daresay. Her clothes were
ripped and she was pacing, so quickly around the corpses
of various animals that she looked like a ghost. When she
saw Jasper she froze. Not moving a muscle at all. He saw
the dried blood around her mouth and her huge eyes had
gone a sullen dark brown colour and were darting around
like crazy.
He walked cautiously forward talking to her in a calming
voice. Hello, Candy. Whats the matter? Didnt it work last
night? he thought back to the early hunting trip that they
went on with her, and the amount of animals she fed on.
Of course it didnt bloody work. I am so thirsty. I cant do
this Jasper. It burns too much. But I dont want to give in
and hurt someone I might know. She suddenly sat down
and whispered, I am so scared.

Jasper felt his heart break when she said that, he had
spoken to Carlisle earlier, the previous night and they had
agreed that it was only normal for vampires who had once
tasted human blood. After a hundred years or so theybecame uncontrollably thirsty for human blood. He said
that the easy way out would be for her to feed on human
blood. He didnt like the idea, but just live his children, he
hated anything that made her upset, or suffer.
Hunt,was Jaspers thought.
No! she growled, I will NOT harm any human.
You are so stubborn! Have one human. Pick and choose.
Have one that no one will notice if it dies.She growled fiercely at him, I am sure that they will
notice. I don't want to. What if I go mad, and go on a
rampage?
Chill, you need to before you do really hurt someone. I will
go with. Stand with you on guard or something. You need
to do this or you will correct your fears by killing Owen.
She paled, and then said in a pained voice, But I don'twant to.
He smiled sympathetically, But you have to. You know
that go out of Europe whatever. Come on you know we
are all worried about you. Especially Fiona. You now she is
amazing, she knows you have to kill what, she is meant to
protect, and she is okay with it. Well she said she doesnt
care as long as youre back in time for Drama. He stepped
forwards, go on. Now! he ordered, dont be scared, he
gave her a quick cuddle, and then pushed her in the
direction of a deeper part of the forest.
Two hours later and Jasper rang Evelyn up while she was at
school, to ask her if she would come home early to talk to
Candice before Carlisle or Jada got back.
Why? she asked.

picking up one of the fluffy red pillows in her bed and sat
down next to her and pulled her closer, letting her lean on
her exposed shoulder.
Yeah I know - but you all expect it of me and Oliver hashad human blood before and he isnt like me. She
complained.
You have been a vegetarian for a shorter time, consoled
Evelyn, stroking Candice black hair, It just takes practice.
Candice began debating whether or not to tell Evelyn what
was really bothering what she would tell Jasper because
she knew what his response would be already.
Eves, she began, fiddling with a piece of red thread thatwas dangling off of the pillow, You know how I am more
human I am compared to Oliver and all that.
Evelyn seemed hesitant to answer, not sure where it was
leading too, Yes, she sighed at her hand dropped into her
lap and was wary about what was going to be said.
Do you think that it is a bad thing? she asked. Her huge,
now ruby red, eyes looked up and studied Evelyns face.Why? Its only a bad thing if you think its a bad thing.
Evelyn said her eyes shifting away from the red ones,
glancing over her head and into space.
It is a bad thing though isnt it, because we arent human
and its especially bad for me because humans like me
more, and I like human blood more.
Candice sighed louder and pursed her lips when she
finished, still not reviling her true fear, but Evelyn knew
Candice well enough.
Oh, youre worried - began Evelyn but then Candice flew
into action and with her left hand she clamped Evelyns
mouth shut, then with her other hand with the pillow in,
she threw the pillow into the door, the pillow slammed the
door shut with a loud bang.
Jasper, was all Candice said but Evelyn understood that
-

the convosation would mostly be in silence now, Evelyn
nodded so Candy removed her hand from her mouth.
So you are afraid about hurting someone?thought Evelyn,
understanding that thoughts were the way that she wouldcommunicate to Candice without Jasper listening in.
Yep, was all she murmured, but sat down in a dejected
way.
You wont though; you should have more faith in yourself
Candz,thought Evelyn as she sat down next to Candice,
rubbing her back in a comforting fashion. Candice just
raised her eyebrows. Abruptly Evelyns train of thought
changed direction and she began thinking about theToman family visit. The Tomans are the largest family in
Egypt, and the only permeate resident vampire family in
Egypt as far as they know.
In the Toman family there is the mother Asenath, she is
a lot like Jada in some ways, apart from Jada has Carlisle to
help her bring them up somehow and help them be
vegetarian, but Asenath doesnt have anyone, then theeldest son Bebti, then theres Eboni, shes about Evelyns
age, and they are similar, apart from Eboni is very
gravitational and is often so deep in thought that you have
to yell in her face to get her to pay even the slightest bit
attention, then there is Candices favourite Femi, she was
frozen in her sixteen year old body, like Candice, but they
acted the same as well, they were very good friends, the
twins were the youngest Kakra and Kissia, the pair of them
looked exactly the same, they both moved the same, they
both talked the same, only their thoughts held the slightest
bit difference, even then that was miniscule, Kissia was
that slight bit braver then Kakra, only by a smudge that
was there only difference the two of them had.
They are coming down soon, Jada and Carlisle are taking

time off and we are being pulled out of school. You know
the Superficials and the Tylers might be coming too, all
four of us together.
*The Superficials were the Crawfords, the vampire clan that
lived in Beverly Hills. There was Chase, the eldest, then
there was Brittany she was amazingly bitchy about people
she hated, and didnt mind telling people exactly what she
thought of them whenever she wanted to, so not many
people tried to get onto her bad side, Jodie was next, she
was the opposite of Brittany in a way, she was by no meansless bitchy, but she sugar coated it in the way Brittany
didnt, Serena was the youngest (in human and vampire
age) and she wasnt so bitchy, she was more like a
teachers pet, always nice and always sweet, whereas in
reality she wasnt - then there was the parents Daniel and
Daphne, they were very much the stereotypical people who
live in Beverly Hills apart from most families in Beverly
Hills arent Vampires.
The Tylers were the largest vampire family in America,
Jason was the eldest, and much like Oliver in nearly every
way, funny, the strongest, and they could both fly. Nicole,
or Nikki if you liked being alive, was the blond one, much
like Stephanie - blond, self-obsessed, fashionista, then
there was Ashley, she was content, able to control her
emotions easily, a daydreamer, much like Evelyn but moretalkative. Matthew, or preferably Matt, was astoundingly
smart, sincere, obliging and just an all round good person.
Drew was the youngest (in human years) and much like
Candice in their abilities, they could both hear what others
around them were thinking and Drew was more human
than the rest of his family. Their parents were Ely and
Claudine; Ely had the same job as Jada, working at a
hospital. All four families that would be meeting up in

Wales, and that fact was enough to keep Candice smiling
when Jasper came in the room to check on her.
