It was Elan of course everyone else was intimidated by the girl who spoke exactly what was on her mind... most of time, unless you know the girl got hungry. 1
"What?!?" I was angry, not with him,with Brenden he had no right to keep a secret especially if it endangered my families lives, minus Chris. My hair was whipping freely under the white tin awning. The rain was pelting it with tiny, sharp raps, like a billion tiny fairy hands. I hadn't noticed the rain today at all. I hadn't noticed much.2
Elan made a move towards the front of the school doors. He was tense like someone had bit his head off, that someone being me. "God whats up you're butt?" He let some muscles loose but kept his eyes locked on mine, searching for something.3
"Sorry, I think. Family issues." I hadn't been paying much attention to the excuses I'd been shelling out for Elan but he had.4
"Well your family certainly has a lot of issues. Are they the normal, American household problems, or is it something I should be worried about?" He relaxed for the most part and hesitated before throwing his arm over my shoulders.5
When he did this nothing happened but a sharp pain in my stomach and burning desire on my tongue. I had to shrug him off immediately. He stayed away from me now.6
"Troen is something wrong? I mean I thought after last weekend we could be a little closer?" He furrowed his eye brows and shoved his hands deep in his front pockets. 7
"It's better if you don't know. Trust me." I was trailing off realizing that I had been so upset with Brenden, that 8
I almost, completely forgot about Siloh. I was supposed to be looking at Elan and assessing my feelings for him. I glanced in his directions and noticed only that stabbing hungry pain. I could smell his iron filled blood pumping through his veins. I could distinctly hear his heart thundering around inside his chest. I tried not to breath in I didn't need to after all.9
"Troen?" A hand placed cautiously on my shoulder brought me back to reality, or at least one reality. "Troen! The bell just rang."10
I looked around silently nodding towards the door. There was no one in sight. So I once again shrugged from under his touch, then walked inside. The school day went on much the same way the morning had, short bursts of anger, realizing I'd temporarily forgotten Siloh, and then being bugged by Elan with sharp hunger pains. Overall today had been a bad day. As I was hurriedly leaving the school grounds, Elan caught up with me for the fifth time today.11
"Hey, you keep blowing me off, I'm sick of this! Whats the deal?" He was leaning on my car door to prevent me from entering.12
"Get off." I stated, annoyance leaking out with my words.13
"Not until you tell me what's going on with you." He crossed his arms. Little did he know I could throw him out of the way faster then he could see.14
I took a deep breath preparing myself to deal the blow, bad idea a growl rose from my throat and an instinctive but ancient hunting position was itching to form from my bones, I resisted as much as possible. My mouth was watering and my stomach was burning.15
"I need to leave! I can't see you anymore, I'm leaving this stupid school! I don't have any feelings for you. I hate this place." I had to make it seem real. "Just leave me alone, don't call, write, or ever stop by. Ever." I finalized my act and then heaved him out of the way gently, for me, and then hopped in my car. Blaring the engine and speakers, I peeled out of the parking lot as fast as possible, to prevent him from following me.16
I couldn't go back there, we should probably pack up and move also, or maybe just board up the windows and hide away in one of our other places. Just until it looked like we moved. I had done it now, Brenden would give me even more of a reason to temporarily forget Siloh. I liked this, the distraction, not necessarily how I was being distracted, but from what, or shall I say whom.17
This would be a big problem, we had been at this house for only a few months, Chris fed on one too many innocents for the media to not connect something, we had to leave our last town. Everyone would hold this grudge for at least a year, a grudge was nothing to a vampire we had eternity for reconciliation. Siloh would have to leave Nikki, if I asked him to though I don't think he'd have a problem. We were going to have to leave, Elan wouldn't give up that easily, I knew that much. I knew he'd stop by, see if we were gone, see if I was in danger of any sort. He was to sweet to be my snack. 18

That reminded me of how hungry I had been, how my stomach had been in flames, or felt like it at least. I had to ask someone about this I hadn't felt this before. I wanted to rip Elan's throat out right there.20

I arrived home and briefly listened in on the house. Everyone was home, including Siloh. I sniffed the air to see how close the pine scent was, it was coming from the front of the second story, Siloh's room. I had to slip in the house as best as I could. I had no intention of dealing with Siloh at this point. But getting together with Siloh wouldn't make anything easier right now. I decided to ask Jezzebell, one of the oldest in our family, what she thought of my reaction to Elan today. And why I hadn't reacted like that when he kissed me, I was going to come forward about the whole thing. 22
