“Check out the bum.”
    Kyle walked
right up to the group and slammed his fist into the lockers beside them, making
a dent. The group jumped with shock.
    “What’s your
problem, man?” the boy said.
    “Choir
practice,” Kyle grunted. “Where is it?”
    One of the girls
in the group, a goth with long black hair, stepped forward. “Like hell we would
tell you.”
    Before any of
the group could blink, Kyle had grabbed the girl and pulled her into him. He
sunk his teeth into her neck and sucked. In a matter of seconds she turned limp
in his arms. The rest of the group screamed.
    Kyle dropped the
girl to the floor and wiped the blood from his lips with the back of his hand.
    “Choir
practice,” he repeated. “Where is it?”
    The boy who’d
first spoken pointed a trembling finger down the hall. Beside him, two of his
female friends were crying and hugging, their frightened stares locked on the
body of the dead girl.
    Kyle made to
leave but had only gotten two paces when he turned back and grabbed the two
crying girls. He bit one first, then the other, draining the blood from their
necks in turn as their pained cries turned finally to silence. He dropped them
at his feet, stepped over them, and headed down the hall, leaving the rest of
the group gaping.
    Kyle followed
the sounds of singing until he reached the room where the choir was practicing.
He slammed open the doors.
    The group could
tell the instant he entered that they were in danger. Their singing ceased
immediately.
    “Jasmine.
Becca,” he demanded.
    The two
trembling girls came forward. He grabbed them both by the necks, hauling them
off the floor.
    “Scarlet Paine.
Tell me where she is.”
    The girls kicked
and writhed in his grip. Neither could speak as Kyle’s grip was too tight on
their necks.
    “I know,”
someone said.
    Everyone turned,
surprised. Kyle dropped Becca and Jasmine and looked at the girl.
    “Who are you?”
Kyle said.
    “Jojo,” the girl
replied. She twirled some hair in her fingers and smiled. She was wearing a
Ralph Lauren top. Clearly one of Vivian’s friends.
    “Well?” Kyle
said.
    “I…” the girl
began but stopped. “We were at a party together the other night.”
    “And?” Kyle
demanded.
    “I saw her. With
this guy. Really hot guy actually.”
    Becca and
Jasmine exchanged a look. Jojo coughed and carried on talking.
    “They were
talking about how they couldn’t be together forever because he was, like, dying
or something.”
    Kyle’s patience
ran dry. He flew across the floor to the girl and hauled her into the air.
    “Skip to the
end!” he cried.
    The girl clawed
at his hand round her neck. “Church.”
    Kyle studied her
for a moment then put her down. “Church?”
    The girl nodded,
her eyes wide with terror. She rubbed her neck.
    “Church. Or
castle. Or cathedral. Something like that. They... flew off together.”
    Had the girl
said such a thing earlier, her classmates would have ridiculed her. But moments
after witnessing Kyle fly across the room at her, the idea of Scarlet Paine and
some handsome boy flying into the moonlight together suddenly seemed less far-fetched.
    From her heap on
the floor, Becca flashed angry eyes at the girl.
    “Why would you
tell him that, Jojo?” she cried. “He clearly wants to hurt her!”
    “Vivian
loyalty,” Jasmine replied scathingly.
    Kyle’s ears
pricked up. He thought of Vivian’s sweet blood. He turned to Jojo.
    “You’re one of
Vivian’s friends?” he asked.
    The girl nodded.
    Kyle grabbed her
hand.
    “You’re coming
with me.”
    The choir watched
in horror as Jojo was dragged from the room and into the hallway. Kyle dragged
her along the corridors with him. The whole place was a scene of chaos. The
kids he’d turned had begun feasting on one another. Those who had yet to be
turned were running and screaming, trying to get out. Kyle nodded to the goth
girl and her friend as he passed them, watching them sucking the blood of their
school mates. Beside
