Jessica looks at Fenton, "The death you saw in the vision, it's vampire. she's half vampire half human. And the transformation is slowed, making it more painful." She mutters quietly, "And she doesn't know about it, and we can't tell her." She murmurs.


Alice smiles weakly, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean too. I'll buy you a new one. I promise." She murmurs, looks at Alex and then at Sam. She sighs slowly, resting her head against the table.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Well if she's gonna turn then we might as well tell her!" He complains, the whole thing was as confusing for him as it was for Alice, except he knew more, so maybe it was more confusing for her. But then no, it wouldn't be confusing for her, she would be oblivious right? He was more confused because he knew more? Gah. All the thinking was confusing him. He sighs, rubbing his temples. "Why can't we tell her?"


Alex shakes his head slowly, "You can't afford to buy me a new one, and even if you could I'd not accept it. I'll just deal with it and convince my dad to buy me one somehow." He smiles a little. "But seriously, it's fine, it's not the erm, not the end of the world, after all." Thinking about the end of the world all of a sudden gave him a slight sickness in his stomach. What if the British witch, Fenton, what if he could do dark magic that could bring about the end of the world? It was stupid to even think.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Jessica groan, "We can't tell her, she's human. We aren't allowed to tell humans, it's against the rules." She says, "She hasn't even fully changed yet." She comments sighing slowly. She shrugs, "I'll tell her when the time is right." She adds.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice frowns and then nods, "Okay, if you say so." She mutters guiltily. She smile at the two boys and yawns. She taps her hands against the table, staring into space.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Strictly speakin', she ain't human, though, is she? And who made these rules, obviously they can be broken if she's a freaking half vampire." He points out, lifting his hands up in defence. Just as he said that, the bell rang, signalling the end of break and, for him, the beginning of music, which he knew he had with Alice. He made a mental note of not to break the rules or anger Jessica by even hinting at what Alice was, and pushed past Jessica before she could speak, heading in the direction of music, using his map as a guidance.


Alex stands when the bell rings, pocketing his phone and walking to his next lesson.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Jessica sighs and heads to her next lesson, she doesn't say anything just walks off. She goes to find Sam and sigh again.


Alice stands, heading to the music classroom. She sits at the back and yawns holding her aching jaw. She blinks, waiting for the lesson to start. She looks at the desk and taps her hand against the desk, humming gently.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Fenton walks into the music room and sees Alice, he forces a smile and a little wave and sits down next to her, without asking. He pushes some hair out of his eyes. "Sorry about disappearing like that, I wanted to avoid the tension and stuff so uh... Yeah sorry." He shrugs his shoulders and looks at her, smiling.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice grins, "Its fine, I understand, Alex was just being silly. He's like that sometimes. I smashed his phone whilst ypu were gone, i didn't mean to. I got annoyed at a game. Apparently I'm stronger than his screen." She says with a grin.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"I bet you are," he mumbles, looking away from her for a moment. It was hard now that he knew what she was, but he couldn't tell her. He was finding it increasingly difficult to know more about her than she did, but he didn't even know that much about her. He looks at the front of the classroom and then back at Alice. "What game was it?" He asks her, trying to be interested.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Raven laughs, "The one and only flappy bird." She answers, openjng her lyric book and starting to write some verses, she hums to them as she wrote them. She brings a hand through her hair and smiles at her book.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Flappy Bird?" He laughs a little and shakes his head, before opening his music book, which mainly consisted of scribbled notes and little doodles of stickmen climbing the lines of the sheet. "I suck at that game." He glances at her out of the corner of his eye and looks down at her lyric book. "Can I read some? Or hear you sing it?" He asks her.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice smiles, "Uh, sure. It's not that good, but you can read it." She says passing him the lyric book. She glances at the lined paper within the her lyric book. She looks away as he reads it and continues to smile.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

He reads through it, nodding at some of the lyrics and smiling at others before passing it back to her. "You're alright." He says, shrugging his shoulders and grinning slightly. "It'd be better if I heard it from you, obviously. But..." He looks up. "This is a music class. I want to play an instrument." He sighs and taps his fingers on the desk.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice grins and stands up, "Come on then," she says heading to the cupboards that held instruments. She opens it and grins, "Here, Miss Bensley won't mind, she likes us to get up get stuck in," she says taking out a violin, playing with and grimacing as it's seems out of tune. She starts to fiddle with it, plucking the strings, getting it back in tune.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Fenton grins, "this is what I'm talking about." He looks through the cupboard, picking up some instruments and examining them before putting them back down. He then saw exactly what he wanted to play and he walked over to it, picking up an acoustic guitar and pulling the strap over his shoulder. He strummed a few notes and frowned before tuning it himself.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice smiles before grabbing a bow and starting to play. She'd grown good at the violin at one time but hadn't played in a long time. She starts to play her favourite piece, watching as the other kids that took music entered and grabbed their instruments and started to practice. The room soon became quite loud.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Does this place have practice rooms? My old school in England did. Rooms where small groups could practice so it wouldn't be as loud." He asks her, not starting to play his instrument yet. He probably wouldn't be able to hear it over the racket that some of the kids were making. How badly could you play a tambourine?

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice giggles and nods, "Sure, I'll show you." She says walking to the practice rooms that were next door. She opens the door and walks in, grinning at him, it was much quieter here.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

He walks in behind her with his guitar over his shoulder, and he grins. "This is so much better, I can hear myself think now." He laughs a little, shuts the door, and walks over to a stool, sitting on it and positioning the guitar. He licks his lips as he thinks of something he could play, he didn't want to embarrass himself or anything.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice smiles encouragingly, "C'mon, play something, I don't doubt that your good." She says sitting down and holding her violin in one hand. She watches him, curious at to how good he is.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Alright alright..." He bites his lip for a moment before grinning. He opens his mouth, and he sings the beginning of I See Fire by Ed Sheeran, beginning to play the guitar when he was supposed to. He loved that song, and he loved the Hobbit too, so of course he had learnt it the second he had got home from the cinemas.

Alice grins, clapping after he finished, "Wow, you're really good. Ed Sheeran is a brilliant artist," she says plucking her violin and humming gently. She looks over at him, "Suppose, you'd like to hear me sing." She says with a smile.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Of course I would!" He says, putting down his guitar and grinning at her. He was excited to hear her play, and glad that he now had a musical friend. All the thoughts about vampires and witches were now completely gone from his head, thankfully, and he could focus on her and her violin. That was one instrument he had never liked to play, the violin.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice stands, placing her violin on the floor and thinking for a moment, "Okay, I know what I'll sing." She comments, getting ready. She began to sing, Beautiful by Christina Aguilera.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

He grins, and when she had finished, he clapped his hands like she had done for him. "You're really good, seriously. I don't lie." He smiles at her and shrugs his shoulders, "You ever thought about actually recording stuff and putting it out there on the world wide web?"
