Laurette and Romulus were holding hands and walking close as they passed the gate onto the school grounds. A chilling feeling passed over them both, but they ignored it. They probably should have paid more attention to their sleepy instincts telling them something was wrong, but they were both too wrapped up in their own thought of Remus, school, but mostly each other.

Laurette felt a chill but ignored it. She was thinking of all that had happened to her in the last day. First she was attacked, then her Boy friends brother attacked, now she was with her boy friend and was completely happy. At least she thought she was......

Suddenly, out of the shadows, several cloaked figures appeared. They all wore black, hooded cloaks with silver stars decorated everywhere on it. They reached out bony looking hands towards them, and the coldness became even more deep. Romulus grabbed Laurette and held her close to him to protect her, but he was fading fast, the blackness englufing him as he fell further and further into the icy coldness of his surroundings...
He was now lying down next to the Conficio River. How'd I end up here? he wondered, looking around. Standing up he noticed he was shorter, and everything that had been happening that day seemed very vague, almost like a dream. I must have fallen asleep by the River again... I wonder where Remus is, he'd normally have come looking for me. It had gotten quite dark out, and the silence on the abandoned school grounds was eiree.
As he was stretching and getting ready to head home, a very loud scream shattered the deep silence. Romulus knew that scream. "Remus?" he said aloud, hurrying towards the scream. Another painful scream pierced the night, and Romulus ran, his heart pounding in his head. Something told him it was more than a spider causing a scream like that...
He stopped as he came to a clearing where the trees separated, giving him a clear view of the horrendous sight in front of him. A full grown vampire girl was leaning over his brother's throat, drawing the crimson blood from him and careful not to spill a drop on the ground. That was how he knew what she was. Not his senses, which should have been screaming vampire (his senses for noticing vampires never worked well) but her fangs sunk deep into his young brother's throat.
The vampire pulled away, licking her lips delightedly, and looked up lazily to see Romulus watching her with pale-faced horror. "Ah, hello little Morsel," she said. She looked from Remus to Romulus and smirked. "Oh, so you're brothers, hmm? Well, don't worry, sweet little Morsel, he might live... I only took enough blood to leave him too weak to move to get himself help. But that's such a small amount of blood, and you seem to be older... Nice, fresh blood." She noticed a little bit of blood on her fingers and licked it while watching him hungrily, as if Remus had been the appetizer and he was the full course meal. "Now, if you stay still I assure you my victims have admitted it's not so painful." With the gracefulness and speed that only a vampire could posess, she was suddenly in front of him, her hand holding the base of his neck and tipping it backwards, stroking the pulse spot (which was beating out of control) lovingly. She leaned down to take a bite, closer, closer....
"NOOO!" Romulus said fearfully, pushing him off of her with strength he didn't know he posessed. Thrown off guard, she slammed her back painfully into a tree, and it knocked the wind out of her momentarily. She glared at him. "Ah, a strong little thing... But not for long." She went to lunge, but Romulus was quicker out of fear. He jumped on top of her, sending her crashing onto the ground. He choked her, tears of fear coursing down his cheeks. She was too shocked to stop him, but reached her hands up as if to grab his neck.
Romulus wouldn't let her get that far. The wolf instincts took over, and he clawed at her with his somewhat sharp nails, and bit at her and scratched and bit and scratched and bit until... Nothing. No movement from her whatsoever. Carefully, he stood up and resumed what his father had taught him to be the werewolf's fighting stance. It was one to make sure you were lower to the ground for balance and to help dodge a vampire's attack. But she wasn't going to attack him. Her blood continued to form a puddle around the corpse, and Romulus stood up regularly and took a step towards her.
Yes, she was dead. Her eyes stood open vacantly, burning with anger for all eternity. Romulus shuddered but saw a charm hanging around her neck, covered in blood. Curious, he picked it up and pulled it from her neck. Wiping the blood off, he saw a large curly J and noticed that it was slightly warm when he touched it.
He might have examined it further, but the fearful voices of his mother and father were echoing through the trees. He shoved the charm into his pocket, and stood back to servey the scene. Suddenly it hit him what had happened, and what he'd done. He promptly turned ill and threw up, then screamed in fearful agony.
Outside of the hellish memory, Romulus had his hands over his eyes, screaming over and over and over. He didn't want to remember, that's why he had pushed everything to the dark closets of his mind. It was too horrific for a ten-year-old to handle, and at 14 it still wasn't easy to remember.

Laurette felt the same coldness. The next thing she knew Laurette was reliving her worst memory. She never even felt Romulus put his arms around her.
"No stop please! What have I ever done to you?" Screamed a much younger Laurette. She was only about five or six at the time.
"Why should we stop? You are a disgrace to all of our kind. Especially since you were born on such a god-forsaken day!" One of the others said. It was a boy of maybe 9 that had spoken. He was clearly a vampire because his fangs where showing.
Many vampires where shouting "Death to Laurette! Kill the one who is worthless"
Out of no where a werewolf appeared. It went strait over to Laurette who was practicly tied to a tree and very diffenseless. Before she could scream for one of the Vampires to help her they all dissapeared. She was left face to face with the werewolf.
Laurette closed her eyes tightly hopeing to make the memory end. It was horrible she could feel her very emotions from that day.... It didn't end though... it went on...
She looked into the Werewolves face. He was older then she by a lot. That was easy to sence. Her fangs slowly showed themselves. "This should be easy." mumbled the werewolf as he moved closer his claws showing. Laurette knew she was helpless. All she could do was scream.... she had no chance. But when it was over she had servived. Still left in the forest to die but she had lived through the attack of a full grown werewolf.
When her memory was ending Laurette was breathing hard. Even to look back on that was hard. She had been just six and had done the unthinkable. She lived through an attack. But it wasn't the first time or the last.... Laurette thought she heard a faint voice although she had no idea where it was comeing from.

The coldness was being peeled away. Romulus shifted from the memory back into his own body, and realized he was in a feetle (sp??) position. Peeking weekly through his arms which were still over his head, he looked and saw the creatures were being driven away by a faint golden light. It was a spell of some sort, but he couldn't tell what kind. Everything still seemed upside down, and he just wanted to pass out into unconsciousness.

Laurette was also laying on the ground. She was laying on her back. She saw the golden light too. Rolling over slowly she say Romulus on the ground. She made her way over slowly to him. "R-romulus are you alright?" she asked. Her voice told you she had been very scared only moments before.
Laurette's hair was a mess as if she had just gotten out of a fight. You could see that she was pale and had spots that looked as though she had been bleeding. But she didn't think anything of it. She was to worried about her boyfriend Romulus.

Romulus' breathing had returned to normal after all his screaming, but he was still incredibly frightened. The golden light had disappeared, but when Romulus peeked through his arms again into the worried face of Laurette, he let out a gasp and quickly pushed himself up and away. "No, get away from me," he said. "You're dead, I killed you four years ago, you can't be here, you..." He was very disillusioned after the very real memory. Laurette really did look like her sister... Tears coursed down Romulus's cheeks as he slowly came back to the present, but he still didn't realize Laurette wasn't the vampire he killed. "I supposed you've come back to haunt me, maybe even kill me... Whatever, just do it, I don't want to deal with this crap anymore..."

"Romulus... why would I hurt you? And I'm not dead." Laurette said. She was confused but then at the same time she thought that she might actually know what was going on. She wasn't sure but something seemed wrong. Terribly wrong.

Romulus laughed coldly. "Yeah, sure you don't, Veronica. That is your name, right? That's what investigators said after that, uh, 'incident' that night when you attacked my brother, Remus, and attempted to attack me as well." He looked away as tears continued to roll down his cheeks. It was now impossible to hold the memories back, and they continued to cascade over his mind like a waterfall.

Laurette looked away thinking. Veronica? Do I really look that much like her? The thought scares me..... "Romulus listen I'm not Veronica. I'm Laurette Jesper. Remember me? You're girlfriend? Me Laurette." she said. There was a sadness in her eyes. She hoped Romulus could see through his fears and see who she really was.

"Laurette," he said slowly, as if for the first time. To him it almost was. "Laurette... Jesper..." Suddenly realization dawned on his face. "Laurette, oh God, Laurette." He continued to cry, still trying to forget, but finding it very hard, especially since it just recently hit him how very much Laurette looked like Veronica.

Laurette wrapped her arms around him. "It's alright...." she said fighting away her own fears. She hugged him. "I'm sorry.... I'm sorry I look so much like my sister....." She said with tears in her own eyes. Her voice was still harsh seeing as she had been screaming only a matter of minutes away.
Suddenly Laurette was up off the ground in her own fighting stance. She was looking around nervously. From where Romulus was he could probably see her fangs showing and her blood ring glowing a strange blackish color. It was freezeing to her body as she stared around. "Show yourself." she whispered and out of no where came that same werewolf that had tried to kill her years before.
Laurette looked scared but ready to fight at the same time. She stared him strait in the eye and a slow growling sound came from inside Laurette. It was a Vampires warning of not to get close......

Romulus wiped his tears and watched the scene. He still felt groggy, but he wouldn't let Laurette get hurt. He stood up quickly, moving in the same speedy and graceful way he had four years ago with Veronica. "Back off," he said threateningly to the werewolf. Romulus didn't care that it was a fellow werewolf, he would attack if need be to protect Laurette.

The low growl sound was still comeing from Laurette. Her fangs where out and she looked really mad. The Laurette that was showing through was not what Romulus was used to. She looked mean... almost evil.
The other werewolf didn't back off. Instead he let out a howl as well. He took his stance then looked at Romulus. "What would you know? You're a werewolf whos befriended a Jesper... are you crazy?"
Laurette's growling grew louder. Before anyone could do anything she had the other werewolf pinned to a near by tree. She was glareing at him with cold eyes. Romulus had never seen her act this way.

Romulus was a little shocked at how angry and demonic Laurette looked, but so long as her evil glare wasn't directed at him he'd be okay. Remaining calm, Romulus murmured, "No, I'm not crazy, it just so happens that the person I love and care deeply for is part of the family that everyone fears... And I don't blame them, even Laurette it seems, the most innocent Jesper, has a vampiric side she can unleash if provoked."
