Clovers POV

The sentence rings through my head like an annoying bell. Clover is a vampire. It's one sentence that I've known since a child that it would ruin my life.

"Clover? You're a vampire?" Olive stutters. I can hear how scared she is in her voice. Of me. I'm a monster that she is afraid of. I can see her palms shaking, trying to hope it isn't true. But I know I can't lie to her anymore. She'll just hate me more.

I remember the dream I had a while ago. Olive was holding a wooden stick with fire at the end. I'm starting to think that might be true. My pulse rises and I try and forget what has just happened and hope that its all a dream.

I'll wake up at some point and sigh with relief. It never happens. "I'm really sorry Clover. That never meant to come out." Tiffany's voice breaks the deafening silence and I snap back to reality. No, it's not a dream.

"I'm sorry Olive. I never meant for you to get hurt." I say as I feel the tears well up in my eyes and I start to run for the door. I can hear faint shouts of people calling for me but I ignore it.

I reach the door and scramble to open it, Eventually, I reach for the handle and make it out the dorm. I slam the door shut and everyone who was standing in the hallway looks at me.The bang of the door echoed down the hall. Some looked worried but others look like they don't care.

But they won't be seeing me anymore because I will be getting expelled. I start running again, this time to the toilets. It's only a few meters away from the dorm but I wouldn't expect anyone to find me there. Not even my own brother who would think I would head to him first.

I get into the bathroom and thankfully all the stalls are free and there isn't a person in sight. I slide myself into a stall and sit on the closed toilet, locking the door. Tears still run down my pale cheeks, falling onto my now wet uniform.

What's going to happen to me? I ask myself. Would I get locked up for dangering Penel children ( children with powers ) or worse? Try to kill me like in my dream. They always do say that dreams do come true. Even some nightmares come true.

I feel a buzz coming from my left pocket. Olive is probably trying to find me. But I don't want to see her again. She'll hate me forever. I reach to get my phone and look at the screen. My eyes adjust to the sudden light and I blink away the tears. The message reads:

"Where are you?!" I start to cry as I realise the mess that I have gotten into. I don't reply but I stay looking at the message. Another message comes through but this time it's from Dominic:

"Clover, please come out. Olive is getting really worried. We can't find you anywhere." It reads and I bury my head between my legs. The person I trusted the most is now trying to find me.

Suddenly, I get a call from Dominic and I leave it to ring. My ringtone is quite loud so it's the only thing I can hear. The call ends and he leaves a voicemail. I listen to it.

"Clover. I know you're scared. Whenever someone finds out your secret you always are. But you need to come out. At least for me. Both I and Olive are really worried about you. Olive was nearly in tears when she came to find me. She would accept you if you come out now. Please contact me when your ready." It finishes and I sigh.

Dominic is my role model and I don't want to let him down. He always has been since he rescued me. And I know he worries about me a lot. Sometimes too much for his own good. But I love him.

I build up the courage to walk out of the stall. I unlock the door and open it. I didn't expect there to be anyone in there but there is.

And it's Olive. She sitting in the corner, her hair draped around her shoulders. Her eyes look red and puffy. She's been crying about me.

I don't even try to get back into the stall because I know that would make matters worse. Instead, I sit down on the floor beside her. "I am really sorry Olive. I didn't want to hurt you in any way but I going to have to leave. I can't stay here now. Too many people know about my secret." I say but Olive looks me straight in the eye.

"I don't mind that you're a vampire. I wouldn't mind if you were a human! I just want a friend!" She almost shouts and falls into me. I put my arms around her and she cries into my shoulder.

"You're the only friend I've had since nursery. And if you leave I'll be stuck to being the loner again. Please don't leave me!" She shouts and cries again. I join in with her and we're both in tears.

Eventually, we get up. "I won't leave you, Olive. Ever again. I promise." I say and we walk out of the bathroom. Outside I find Dominic sitting on one of the tables outside looking down at his phone. I almost forgot that he was looking for me as well.

He looks up and sees me. He looks so worried, the most worried I've seen him. He gets down from off the table and I run into him. I start to cry again into his shirt as he rubs my back. "I'm sorry I've made you worry so much." I muffle between my sobs. He crouches down to my height.

"I'm just happy your safe. Don't worry, as I've said many times before. I will protect you." He says and I try and wipe my tears away. He smiles a soft smile and we walk away from the bathrooms.

Olive links arm with me and squeeze my arm. I smile at her and she smiles back. "Thank you for excepting me Olive," I say.

"You don't need to thank me. I would've excepted you anyway." We continue to walk back to our dorm.
