Slayer Academy

Chapter 2- Who are you?

When I woke up, I was in bed.

"Gavin?" I called hoarsly.

"No Gavin. Just Emma." A voice called. I looked over, and right there, was my beautiful best friend. "Gavin told me to keep you company." She explained.

"Where is he?" I asked, trying to look around. She took a deep breath.

"Remember Oceana? From Brookside?" Emma asked. I said yes.

"She's a slayer. She's Gav's roommate," she explained. Oh. Well, that made sense. My brother and Oceana (Cia) were romantically involved, but then Mr. Tillight, Oceans's and Cole's dad had to move for work.

"You're my roommate?" I asked hopefully. Emma shook her head.

"Nope. Unfortunately, Hauns is my roommate." Uh oh.

"What did he do now?" I asked.

"Put me in a wheelchair instead of holding me." Emma huffed. I smiled, shaking my head. No matter what, Emma was Emma. Then my smile faltered.

"Um, who's my roommate?" I asked in a small voice. Emma grinned.

"Cole McHottie" I groaned. A boy. A STRANGER.

"What? He is your boyfriend." Emma said.

"Huh? But I don't even know him," I said.

"Anyway, I need to go before Frost comes in and murders you for keeping me away. Love you!" she hollered, wheeling out, leaving me alone for a while. If a while is the new word for 15 seconds. The door opened again, and when I looked, I groaned. Cole came in, looking hurt.

"I don't remember," I said.

"I thought so. You approached me on the walk like you didn't know me." He said sadly.

"Can you tell me?" I asked. Cole looked at me, hopeful.

"At brookside, we did the BEST pranks. One day, when you were walking to class, I bumped into you. As your stuff fell, we both went to pick it up. When you said thanks, I don't know about you... but I was a goner. Still am," he said shyly. His words sparked a memory. Gradually, I started to remember.

"I remember. Now, can Cia come in, so I can take a shower?" I asked. Cole looked at me.

"I'll get her." 3 minutes later, Cia came in, looking happy.

"Your okay!" she exclaimed.

"I guess so," I said.

"Well, I'm glad. I'll get the tub started, then have Cole get you in there with your clothes on. And yes, your clothes will get wet, but I'll let you wear my dress. Okay? Okay," she said, already running. I looked at Cole.

"What did you tell her?"

"That you wanted to bond with her and needed a bath. She slapped me real hard when she saw me. Said it was for keeping me away." Cole said, grinning.

"You don't seem to care" I pointed out. Just then, Cia came in.

"Get her in the tub, Cole." She ordered. He nodded, lifting me up, walking, placing me in the bathtub.

"Out you go," Cia said.

15 minutes later, I was in bed, Cole holding me. I just had to ask...

"Cole?"

"Yeah?"

" I remember having some dream about..." I stopped, now wondering if he would think I was crazy. He must have sensed my hesitation because he said,

"About a vampire visiting you in a dream about when you were born? Showing you how he was made? Telling you that... we are gods?" he said. I gaped at him.

"Um... yes. But how did y-" Cole silenced me with a laugh.

"Um… because I'm a genius?" he said, smirking. I glared at him. Then I had a good idea. I pretended like I could not breathe.

"Kathryn? Are you okay?" he asked, frantic.

"I can't breathe! Your Ego's too big!" I said, wheezing with laughter. Cole glared at me.

"My ego? What about yours?" he exclaimed, but soon joined me, laughing.

"My ego's perfect" I wheezed, trying to slap him. I couldn't, but I COULD gasp in pain. Cole laid me down on my bed, went to the bathroom, and came back with painkillers. I swallowed it.

"Sleep." he ordered.

"Orders again." I whispered, already drifting off...
