Chapter 1
I looked at the list again. This couldn’t be right I though, there has to be a mistake. “Uhh, Mrs. Myers” “Yes Mrs. White” my principle said her voice full of authority. “Don’t you think you should give Jack Camden to someone with a little, more, experience in tutoring?” I said trying not throw up at the sound of Jack’s name. “ I would” she said, “but there hasn’t been a student that you haven’t been able to get on track.”
“That might be true but I've only worked here for a week.” I said.“Ashley do you want this job?” well duh, I kind of needed the money, but I couldn’t really say that so I said “Yes mam I do.” “Then I suggest you take your folder and head into that room.” I sighed. She looked at me with a stern expression, so I turned around and left to the tutoring room.
I headed down the hall, and past the giant mirror that hangs from the left side of the wall. I stopped and turned to look at my reflection. Well I was still the same me. Same jet black hair pulled into a messy pony tail, same ocean blue eye, and same olive skin. I looked down at my clothes: black t-shirt that was about two sizes too big for me, black skinny jeans that fit me more like regular jeans, and neon green high tops. I looked back at my reflection and thought; well I got stuck with the boy I hate more than anything in the entire world, so this should be like hell. Well, I thought at least I’ll get to annoy him.
I walked to room 319 sulking and paused as I opened the door, maybe he’s not there, I thought hopefully, yah Ashley think positively. I opened the door, crap.
There he was blonde hair blue eyes and all. I sighed as I dropped my back pack on the floor. “What?” he said, “am I even more unbelievable than you imagined?” Actually Jack and I have met about six times before , when we first met I will admit I thought he was hot, but then I got to know his personality, let’s just say, it’s not as pretty as the outside. Anyway his not remembering our past encounters made me mad so I smiled as I said “trust me, when I imagine you, it usually involves a jack hammer and you under it.” He shot me an annoyed glare sensing my dislike for him and muttered “Let’s get started shall we?”
“Fine, open your Math book.”He gave me a blank stare. “You don’t have a math book do you?” “What do you think?” was his response. I took a deep breath, trying not to smack him and said, “We’ll just share mine then.” I grabbed my back pack of the floor and took out several things: a math book (of course), highlighters, paper, and pencils. “Shit” I said. One of the pencils had rolled off the table.
We both bent down to get it and our fingers touched. I felt an immediate bolt of electricity and then from the corner of my eye I could see my birth mark on my upper left arm glowing.
“Crap! Not now!” I muttered. “I, uhh… have to umm… go, bye” I ran to the door. As soon as I walked through it, though, I was back in the room again, sitting next to Jack. “What the-” that’s all I got to say before a beautiful women dressed in all white appeared.
“Hi?” I said in confusion. The woman smiled. “Hello Ashley, Jack” when I turned to look at Jack he was all starry eyed and I’m pretty sure he was drooling. I elbowed him in the stomach, “Hi” he scoffed. She said “I would like you two to meet your Knew partners.” Jack and I turned to each other then back the woman and said in union “huh?”
“Jack,” she said “the birth mark on your shoulder that is shaped like a cross is glowing right?”Jack took of his sweatshirt and pulled up his sleeve. I glanced over and was aw struck to see that he had a birth mark in the exact same spot as me, and it was glowing (and not to mention he was totally buff). “Yeah, so?” he responded. “Do you remember the last time it was glowing?” she said. “Yeah,” he nodded obviously in pain remembering the memory, “it was when I met Kimberly, and found out- oh.”
I looked back at the women then back at Jack and yelled “Could someone please tell me what the hell is going on?”
The women simply said “There was two partners who could save the world, they fought against pure evil ,with swords in their hand, till death” As if that made any sense “Ok this time in English” I said.
She merely laughed and said “You and Jack are partners, as I said before.” “Eww!” I screamed. “Hello, I’m Right here.” Jack said. She laughed again, but this time harder “No, no not that type of partners.” She said in between stifled giggles. “You two are the partners of good. This means that you were born to protect humans, against the partners of evil, and save the world.”
“Me,” I said in total shock “I’m only a siren; I can’t do anything but make stupid boys fall in love with me. And what good would that do? Plus…” “Wait you’re a siren?” Jack interrupted me. “You stop talking!” I said turning to Jack and then I continued on, “plus...plus...” “Plus what?” the woman said in a soothing voice. When I didn’t reply she said “you two are perfect for this job, Jack is immune to almost all of your powers, and as you are to his. And Ashley you and I know your much more than a siren.”I gulped and said “Let’s not talk about that okay?”She nodded. Jack looked at me questionably at the remark.
I turned to Jack and said changing the subject “So what are you?”
“I’m a vampire.” he said showing me his long fangs. I wrinkled my nose and said “Grouse a vampire, I knew there was a reason I didn’t like you, beside the fact that you’re an idiot.” (Vampires and sirens aren’t exactly the best of friends)
He glared at me and said changing ignoring my insult. “This is a white angle, she delivers news then usually disappears in the most inconvenient time, and look there she goes now.” I turned around to find that the white angle was almost completely disappeared. “Wait, don’t-shit she left.” “See, told you” he said. I looked back at Jack then remembered something important “Whose Kimberly?” “Why, are you jealous?” he said in a mocking tone. “Eww, grouse, no, I just remembered that you said something about meeting Kimberly,” (whoever that was) “when your birth mark glowed the last time.” He looked at me, for once with a serious expression and said “She is know one.” “But you said-” “Ashley just get over it okay?” “But-” “Get over it.” “Fine,” I mumbled. Stupid Jack, I thought, he doesn’t want tell me who Kimberly is. I just wanted to know why his birthmark glowed like when we touched.
HOLY SHIT. I am so stupid. Kimberly was Jack’s old partner. I wonder what happened to her. “Hey, Jack” “Yeah?” he said noticeably annoyed. “Was Ki-,” Should I, I thought, I shouldn’t. “What evil was the white angle talking about?” I asked instead. He turned to me and said “Monsters.” “Monsters?” I repeated utterly lost. “You know, like Dragons, Trolls, and, Cyclopes.” He said.
“Wait,” I said, “aren’t we considered monsters?”
“We are, but we at least try not to harm humans, most others don’t care about them and kill them.”
“Wait, don’t you drink human blood.”
He groaned “God, one freak of a vampire tries human blood and every other vampire is marked for life.”
“So you don’t drink human blood?” I asked confused, and not sure if he was talking to me or to himself.
She’s mindless I heard. I gasped and growled, “I am not, and you take that back, now!” Jack stared at me in surprise. “How did you-” “hear that?” I finished for him. “Did I forget to mention that some sirens can read thoughts?” I said glaring down at him.
“Uhh…” he said suddenly looking uncomfortable. “I …” he started “BEEEEP!” the first bell rang. “Have to go” he finished looking relieved. “Hey don’t you-” I started knowing very well that vampires can run at the speed of light, and then he was gone. “Damn” I said as I gathered my things and opened the door to find my little sister, Kassie.
“Umm, hi?” I said. “I need your Help.” She said panicked. “Okay, with what?”I said. “Well, I kind of sort of, mmhph in front of the mmphl class.” She said. “You what?” I said. She took a deep breath. “You know that I have drama practice before school, right?” “Yeah” I said suspiciously. “Well today Ms. Sanchez made me, sing in front of the class, the whole class, you know even the boys” “Oh, no” I groaned. “Know do you get why I need your help?” “Yeah , but Kassie I can’t do anything right now, if I don’t show up to class the teachers might send someone to look for me and if they catch us .., let’s just say that would not be good.” “Okay, fine I’ll call Abby.” She said as she sulked to her homeroom. She hated calling Abby, our older sister, when she got in trouble; it always makes her feel childish. I sighed feeling guilty.
I walked to my home room and slowly opened the door, not wanting to come into the boring English class. I finally opened the door all the way, and I plopped myself into my desk and waited.
“Is it possible to die of boredom,” my best friend Lucy asked as she slid into the desk next to mine. “Obviously not, or we would have been dead by now, you know from sitting in this god damn room waiting for Mrs. Perez to walk in.” I said. She sighed. “Do you think she’ll ever be able to make on time?’ I asked her. She opened her solid black, backpack and took out a magic Q ball. “Seriously, not that again.” I whined. “What? It’s always worked before.” She said. I rolled my eyes at her and said, “That’s because it’s defective and only say: sorry not going to happen.” She probably would have argued if it hadn’t have been for the fact that someone through a gigantic wad of paper at my head. And by someone I mean Niki.
Ughh Niki, I absolutely hate her and let me tell you the feelings mutual. We’ve hated each other since the sixth grade, when I accidently made her boyfriend, Sean, fall in love with me. Ok, so it wasn’t accidental, but I wanted to know exactly what would happen if I sung near a human and Sean was the closest to me, and let’s just say it didn’t end well. I turned slowly and gathered the paper off the floor and walked straight up to Niki and then literally through the wad of paper in her face. “Oops I think you dropped this” I said. She starred at me with wide eyes.
Now this would have been perfect if it wasn’t for the
