Homecoming

Chapter 1

           Bridgett

This totally sucks Bridgett looked at her new room and hated it. “No! no! no! nothing fits !”. The designer passed Bridgett a catalogue, she hastily flipped through it “Nope not that…hate that...” as she flipped through every picture in the catalogue the designer was showing her, her face turned more and more disgusted .

“Everything is so Kim and Chloe, I mean seriously my name is Bridget Ranner not Paris Hilton! That bitch can totally learn something from me!”. Bridgett glared at the designer…
some talent, Anne must have been smoking something to refer her to me…

Bridget waved the catalogue in front of  the small blonde designer. “Redo the whole thing in 24 hours, if I hate it your gone”.  The designer looked at Bridget in awe she was one of Vogues top designers and this was the 1st time someone hated her ideas.

 Bridget walked out of her room and took her pink rhinestone blackberry out of her 1st edition Proenza bag and dialed Josh’s number. He wasn't answering and it bugged the hell out of her .
Something strange was up with Josh she hadn't seen him for a week.

 His excuse was that his dad was introducing him to some political types. Bree was sick of his excuses, a queen needed a king or at least a hot guy to show off and right now everyone at Hudson’s was gossiping about her Josh.
How am I suppose to stay on top ?

She looked at her penthouse everything, sucked the interior and her love life. She hoped to God that delicious wouldn't get a hold of this little situation ... If she did it would be complete social suicide... She desperately needed to go shopping to kill the mood she was in. Where the hell were her midget interns? She dialed Kylie Smith’s number “Kylie where the hell are you ? I need a soy latte as in yesterday”.

Chloe

Chloe looked out of the airplane window and traced the lines of the clouds with her finger. It had been 6 months and 2 days and 96 minutes since she had left New York for boarding school in Italy. She left at the dead of night so that Josh would not try and follow her. It killed her inside to think that Josh would hate her for leaving but she knew it was better for him to hate her then for him to know what she had become. A flight attended past with a tray interrupting her thoughts. “Can I offer you something to drink mam ?”

“ No thanks” Chloe mumbled she returned to her thoughts and wondered what would life be like back in New York, how would Bridget and Josh and the rest of Hudson high deal with her return. Whatever the verdict was she would soon find out...

at 12:15 am says Delicious you vicious . I wonder if their getting back together?

Bridgett read the notification on her mobile and her face turned red could it be? Could Chloe be the one that delicious was talking about? If it was her, life was about to get a whole lot more complicated and she wasn't about to give everything she worked for up for Chloe Evans.

 She had a plan and if Chloe thought that she would return as her former self as Hudson highs most popular girl she had another thing coming. Bridgette had to make damn sure that Chloe would never be one of the in crowd again ... ever.

Josh sat on his bed staring at the notification on his phone . Could Chloe really be back? Patrick Turner opened the door and smiled at Josh .

“Hey dude what have you been up to?” Josh asked. A young petite brown haired girl giggled from behind Patrick . She was wearing white underwear and an open robe “Ah, that explains it all “.

“I've just been having a little bit of fun” Patrick slapped the girls ass “go make us some coffee will you?” the girl blew him a seductive kiss and walked to the kitchen.

“Easy chicks are my vice dude ...”

“Why the face?” Patrick asked as he leaned against the door frame.

“ Have you seen delicious's latest tweets?” “No I've clearly been busy”. “Well Chloe is back in town” .

“Oh mate that is bloody extreme” Patrick said in a heavy Australian accent. Josh tossed his phone
whatever Chloe wanted he was over her and his life was now with Bridgette . Besides Bridgette was damn hot...what more could he ask for right?

Patrick winked at Josh “if you ever wanna swap let me know ?” Josh tossed a cricket ball at Patrick “in your dreams buddy, in your dreams”. “Tchi tchi mate “ Patrick made a face and pointed his hand with a gun like gesture towards Josh. “Me you and some hunting tonight what do ya say?” “I SAY I’m gonna beat your Mammas boy ass...” “Bring it on yank” .

Patrick and Josh both Sanguinarian Vampires would go on a hunt every second night . It was more of a sport than anything else and the boys loved the challenge. The game would begin every night at midnight when the humans were asleep. The challenge was to grab as many animals as they could and to consume them.

Both Josh and Patrick were trained to get use to the taste of animals and not of humans but sometimes this task was hard and they would hunt humans usually gangsters or bad ass criminals but tonight the game was solely based on their animal catching skills .

“I'll make you a deal mate” Patrick said...” A deal haha what kind of deal ?” “One night with sweet little Bridgett if I win this challenge” . “Not a chance!” “Ok then one night with Chloe Evans?”.

“Yea whatever, you are on” Josh said but inside he was more than ready to win, there was no way he wanted Patrick near Chloe even if he still hated her.

Patrick had an incredible sense of smell and this was his greatest advantage over other vampires. He could sense human blood miles away and animal blood was another one of his specialties. He was taught to hunt animals first by his father Colin and then by his mother Amber .

 His mother was a half breed and so was his father but surprisingly Patrick was a full breed vampire. His only problem was self control even though he had become increasingly use to animal blood, he sometimes lost all reason and gave into himself completely.

 He was cunning and violent and it was a part of him that scared him . His parents had moved him to Australia as a child to start over but there his quench for humans became worse by the day . They returned to New York when he was 10 . In New York he was introduced to the upper east side ,sex , drugs and woman became his new play ground.

Josh on the other hand had a talent to hear his prey’s thoughts.

Tonight he sensed that his prey was around the corner and as he spotted a deer on his right he jumped from the willow tree he was sitting in and leapt on the prey. He had amazing speed and fascinating agility. As he leaped onto the deer he used his teeth to cut through the flesh .

The most important thing was to make sure that he cut his teeth through the artery . When he had finished he caught up with Patrick who had already killed nine other wild animals. “Welcome to my grave yard” Patrick said jokingly. Josh immediately lost his appetite for the game , food and Patrick.

Patrick had won the challenge hands down and Josh was worried beyond belief. Why did Patrick always have to make everything so damn hard? He shrugged it off…what did he care anyway …Chloe was his past and Bridgette was his present. I have to go dude..See you at school tomorrow. What so soon? Yea I need to see my girlfriend. Good luck with that mate Patrick said sarcastically .

Josh had been ignoring Bridgette for a week, but he knew it was finally time to talk and to put Chloe out of his head for good…
