Blood Bond: Episode 7: The Cat's Out of the Bag

As Christmas neared, things at Xavier's cottage slowly became more interesting. From my mother's camera skills to the adults' constant attempts to set up dates between Xavier and I. Just as I was beginning to feel like a normal high-schooler again, things changed dramatically.

It happened one day during dinner.


"Hey Xavier, can you pass me the rolls?" asks Hank (Xavier's dad in case you already forgot.)

"Yeah sure. Here"

It was about a week before Christmas. We're having  filet mignon for dinner (so far we have been treated to everything from lobster to caviar. Fraya is an excellent cook.) Everything seems to be fine until my dad accidentally cuts himself.

"Ow! Ah I'm bleeding. Can someone give me a bandage?" He asks sucking his finger.

Suddenly my heart starts beating faster. 'Oh no not now!' I think, my fangs slowly growing. "Um p-please excuse me" I say standing up.

"Oh? Are you alright?" asks Fraya, looking concerned.

"Y-yeah I'm fine I'm just full is all." I push in my chair and head towards my room. Hoping that Xavier wouldn't catch on.

I reach my room just in time. Just as I'm about to bite myself though, I hear a knock on the door.

I ran in the house seeing my mom and sister at the dinner table eating.

"I'm so sorry that I have been gone so long! I was held up and all these things happened and-"

"You were gone hunny? Oh my goodness, we didn't even notice!"

My mom started to chuckle and so did my sister.

"Wait, you weren't worried about me one bit?!? Its like way past curfew and you didn't even know I was gone?!"

Blood Bond: Episode 6: A Cabin in the Woods for Cristmas

Three weeks have passed and Mr. Brunner still isn't back. I'm beginning to think that Vixen had something to do with it. The rest of my class however (or at least all the boys, who have fallen head over heels for her, anyway) obviously doesn't sense anything suspicious.


Soon winter break will begin and everyone is discussing their plans for the holidays. Most of the people I've talked to recently are planning on visiting relatives or going on a vacation. I, on the other hand, will be doing little more than staying at home and visiting Zandra a few times.

I'm walking down to my locker to grab the things I will need over the break (it's the last day of school before the holidays) when I hear someone calling my name.

"ALOURA! Hey Al!" I turn around to see Xavier running towards me.

"Oh hi Xavier," I say, grinning.

"Um Aloura," he says, trying to catch his breath, "w-would you like to come to my family's cottage in Colorado for the holidays?"

"Oh," I say taken by surprise, "sure! I'd love to! I'll have to ask my parents though."

"They can come too if you'd like." He replies with a grin. "Call me when you know if you can come. We're leaving the day after tomorrow."

I can feel myself blushing as an interesting thought occurs to me: 'does this count as a date?'

Story #1, Part 7 (by:klee)

When I awoke, I found myself in a big room that I was unfamiliar with. The walls were painted a light blue and in the middle of the ceiling was a big window that had a great view of the sky. I looked down and found my self in a bed that was bigger than an average bed. The covers were also blue (I'm starting to sense a trend) and to my surprise, it was a water bed! I leaned forward and started rolling around on the bed, giggling.

"Oh um.. Your awake!"

I froze. I felt my face turn red as I looked up and saw the boy from earlier holding a plate of food by the doorway. I sat up and started twiddling my fingers.

"Ah I um.. I ahh.." I had no idea what to say. I didn't even realized that this was probably his room and that this was probably his bed! I just sat there not saying a word.

He slowly walked up to me and set the plate of food on the end table, then grabbed a chair and put it by the bed and sat there. It took only a couple of seconds till he started snickering.

I felt my face heating up even more. He stopped and looked up at me.

"I'm sorry its just, I wasn't expecting to see you doing that and it was really funny."

"Well I would start laughing too if I saw some one rolling around on my bed."

He smiled and held out his hand.

"I'm Brett, and you are?"

I shook his hand.

"Ally."

"Ally, thats a neat name."

I blushed just a bit. I never really saw what he looked like in till just now. His hair was a lighter brown that was a bit messy, but totally worked for him. He had green eyes that were slightly on the paler side. He had a little smile on his face that made your heart skip a beat. He is kinda cute. Ally get a hold of your self! You have a boyfriend!

Blood Bond: Episode 5: The New Teacher

"Hello everyone!" says Vixen cheerfully. Instead of a long black dress and cloak, today she's wearing a black mini skirt and a dark purple Oxford shirt that's like half way unbuttoned. I can almost feel all the boys in the room's eyes widen as they take in there new "sexy" teacher.

"Well see you," says the vice principal in the same monotonous voice, as he leaves us to the vampire woman.

"All right," says Vixen, giggling like a school girl, "you guys can call me Vicky, okay?"
At this point, I could tell that most (if not all) the guys had developed a crush on her. I rolled my eyes, knowing that from this point on none of us would be doing any real learning.

"So what do you guys normally do in homeroom?" continues Vixen grinning flirtatiously and confirming my suspicions. She flops down in her swivel chair sighing.

"Um Ms. Kuran," starts the class representative raising her hand, "y-you're supposed to take attendance
first."

"Hm? Oh could you please call me Vicky?" Insists Vixen.

"O-okay M-Ms. Vicky." Responds the class rep.

"Well it's a start. Anyways thanks-"

"Oh my n-name is Yue Ms. Vicky."

"Well than thank you Yumi."

"A-actually my name's Yue"

"Were's this uh attendance thingy?" Says Vixen,  completely disregarding Yue. "You there" she points to one of the boys, winking "could you please help me find it?" she flutters her eyelashes and gives him a winning smile.

"Uh I-I... Sure!" says the guy (I think his name is Toby or something) blushing like crazy. He stumbles up to the front to search for the attendance sheet.

Okay, now for every one who is confused on what a guardian is(all of you should be) I'm going to explain it. A guardian is a being that was once human and transforms basically into an angel, but isn't an angel because humans can't be angels. They have wings (of all different colors; tan, white, black, etc [no rainbow colors]). They also have amazing powers (sensing emotions, entering into some ones mind [only skilled guardians know how to do this] very smart, can use magic, and become better at almost every thing [sports, cooking, reading faster, etc]). But their job is to make sure that their town is safe. Guardians are very uncommon, generally only one per town.

Now, lets get back to the story!

After eating breakfast, me and my father when down to our training room/study (the basement). We headed over to the study area of the basement. I sat down in a wooden chair with a oak desk in front of me (kinda like a school set up). My father grabbed a book called 'basic training for new guardians'. He sat in his chair and looked at me with a serious look across his face.

Blood Bond: Episode 4: I Drink His Blood Again

Several days pass without me losing control again. Xavier and I have become really close (so much so that some of the school think that we're dating) Zandra and I eat lunch with him most days and things seem to be going great. I think that both you and I know that my normal high school life couldn't last long....


I walk into my homeroom to start another groggy Monday with Cheery Mr. Brunner, who for some reason isn't here at the moment 'that's odd' I think "Mr. Brunner's always here early...' Suddenly my heart starts pounding. 'Great not again' I think, snatching up the hall pass and strolling out into the hallway. Xavier's words keep floating around in my head: "If you ever need blood, just ask." Yeah right. I'm not going to bite him again. Not if I can help it at least.

I'm nearly to the lady's room when (of course) he shows up "Al? you okay?" he asks. I turn around to face him but before I can say anything, he says "you need blood don't you?"

"Oh no, I'm alright now thanks." I reply smiling.

He sees past it. "C'mon." he says rolling his eyes "I know you're lying, I can see it in your eyes. You're craving it aren't you?"

"Well I uh" I reply lamely, glancing at his neck. "M-maybe a little." I blush and look down, hating myself for admitting it.

"I thought so," Xavier says grinning, "hmm... This way" he grabs my hand and drags me towards a janitor's closet. "You first." He says holding the door for me.

"Th-thanks," I say praying that nobody sees us. I step inside the dark and dusty broom closet, my nose stinging (allergies.) Xavier steps inside as well, closes the door  and searches for a light switch. Meanwhile, I'm starting to feel claustrophobic, it IS a pretty tight fit. Then Xavier finds the light switch and flips it up. Blinking at the sudden brightness, I can feel my fangs growing longer and suddenly I'm not claustrophobic any more.

When I awoke I found my self In my room. I was laying on my bed in an awkward position when I realized that I had gigantic wings on my back. I gasped.

"WHAT THE?!?"

I ran down the stairs to see my father and Aidan sitting in the chairs pointed towards me as if they knew I was coming.

"Dad! I have wings!" I pointed to them with my hands. "What am I?" I started looking at my wings. They were beautiful. They were a frosty white and the feathers were as soft as a baby's butt.

My dad looks at me with an accepting look. He comes over and puts his hands on my shoulders and says "Congratulations hunny! Your a guardian! I'm so proud!" He smiled at me then hugged me. I looked over to see Aidan blushing madly and wide eyed as if he just saw the most beautiful thing in the world or some thing..

Blood Bond: Episode 3: A New Enemy

"Hello Vixen," says Xavier, "long time no see."

My eyes widen. 'How is she here?' I wonder to myself.

"Oh surprised to see me are you Xavier?" Says Vixen, her voice is like ice. "Oh and you can tell your little vampire friend that she can come out now." I feel my whole body turn cold, as if I had plunged head first into a vat of ice water. How did she know that I was here? Or what I was or that matter. My hands are shaking as I stand up to face one of the most beautiful yet terrifying women I have ever seen. She has long black hair that looks like the night sky without the stars, and a smile that makes me think of a cat about to pounce. Her skin is as pale as a winter morning.

"Hmph you really would choose her over me Xavier?" Vixen continues, "it seems that you've lost your taste. How pitiful."

"Wh-what do you mean he chose me?" I ask, cold shivers running down my spine.

"It doesn't mean anything Aloura, don't listen to her." Xavier says, and yet he's blushing. 'What is it he doesn't want me to know?' I wonder.

"You mean you didn't know?" teases Vixen, a sly grin playing across her lips. "You didn't know that once you drink a mortals blood you share a blood bond with them?"

Story #1, Part 4 (by:klee)

I awoke Saturday morning feeling calm and collected in till I realized that I would be going to the movies that very night with none other than him self, Aidan. I started flipping out. Geesh what am I gonna wear? I ran over to my closest and started rummaging through it.

Maybe I should wear a dress or some thing.. No, it would look like I'm trying to hard.. Maybe jeans and a T-shirt? No to casual.. AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

I ended up going with a short jean skirt and a T-shirt that had a cupcake on it.

I went over to the bath room to fix up my hair and brush my teeth. As I was brushing my teeth my little sister wondered in.

"Sissy looks nice!" said Ella cheerfully.

"Aww thanks Ella. Big sissy is going to the movie tonight with some friends"

"OH! Are you going with Aidan?"

"Yeah and some of his friends I have to get ready for tonight okay? I didn't plan at all yesterday so I have to make sure I'm ready."

"Okay sissy, have fun on your date" Ella said sweetly

I started blushing. Date? No just a group of friends going to see a movie... But I wish it were a date..

After I finished my hair i ate some breakfast and did chores in till it was time to go.

DING DONG

Crap hes here. I ran to the door grabbing my purse and opened the door to see Aidan standing there patiently. He is wearing a Band T-shirt and some baggy jeans. He also had a hat that was slightly tilted to the right. Wow.. He looked amazing..

"Hey, you ready to go?" He gave me that big grin
"Um yes! let go!"
