Ayunli’s POV

“Hey, doesn’t that girl in front of the bulletin board look like that vampire?” Andrea asked me.

Eyes narrowing, I answered “Yes, she does. Her aura is really strange; I don’t know how to place it.” And it was true, I couldn’t tell what it was, almost like an enchantress and a weak vampire. Weird. “Let’s go ask.” I smirked. And they all laughed at the thought of ‘asking’ her. As we got closer her shoulders stiffened and she whirled to face us. Smart little vampire.

Jamie’s POV

At the feeling of several magical auras, a.k.a. the auras of members of The Enchantment, I whirled.

“What are you doing her vampire?” The girl who looked like the leader of the group, asked as another girl grabbed me.

“I am not a vampire!” I protested, and in response the grip on my arm tightened.

“Your aura doesn’t exactly say that. It feels like a combination of a vampire’s and an enchantress’.” She taunted.

“I’m an enchantress dumbo.” I said in response.

“I don’t believe you.”

“I don’t have time for this, look I have the marks of The Enchantment. Does that satisfy you?” I asked, exposing the ones on my forearm.

“Hmm…you’re right, sorry. My name is Ayunli, also known as Li. These are my friends Jenna, Andrea, Ellen, and Erin.” Ayunli replied, pointing to everyone in turn.

“Jamie Marceto,” I said, and turned back to what I was looking at on the bulletin board. It was a poster advertising the auditions for the school musical: Fallen. Yes, I had always wanted to be in it, but they always said I was too young. I’ll show them! Though personally, I don’t really care what part I get, as long as I don’t get Joy. She’s too innocent and nice and ugh! For some reason most parts like that aren’t too fun.

“You’re thinking of auditioning?” Jenna asked.

“Ya, every other time I tried auditioning I was always told that I was too young and that they wouldn’t let anyone under sixteen in.

“Cool, I’m auditioning too. It should be really good. I really want the part of Lily.” Jenna said.

“I don’t really care what part I get as long as I don’t get Joy.” I told her.

“I know! She’s…almost like a Mary Sue, I hate her.”

“I’ll leave you two drama geeks to talk to each other.” Ayunli rolled her eyes.

Ayunli’s POV

“I still could have sworn that she was that vampire…whatshername—Jessica.” Andrea said.

“Did you google her like I asked?” I asked her.

“Don’t go Sharpay on me. Yes I did, and what I found is interesting…really interesting.” Andrea replied.

“As in?” I prompted.

“See for yourself.”

“Holy crap, you’re right. This is really interesting.” I said, gripping the print-outs.

“And this is a picture Michael found in her hotel room. The picture confirms what the print out says, it’s hard to believe…but, well, you can see for yourself.”
