Chapter Five part one

That night, i went to Tegan's house. What i told my mom: "I'm going to Tegan's house for a few hours. We're volunteering at a winter break camp, and we have to organize the attendance list." (and of course she agreed to let me go because she's been nagging me to do volunteer work for ages). What Tegan told her parents: "Kieyra's coming over for awhile to help me organize that winter break camp Kate's organizing with her friends Amanda and Leah." Kate (Tegan's sister), Amanda and Leah agreed to play along. Well, Kate did. Amanda and Leah needed a little "influential talk" aka compulsion from yours truly. Anyways, we got twelve calls that night, and we created the following list:
                                                                     CAMPERS
7A) Alyssa Finn
       Todd Leary
       Colin Crover
        Faven Delacour
7B) Elena Smith
       Becca Chase
       Sydney Cross
7C) DJ Johnston
       Ryley Davidson
7D) Katie Brown
       Zach Avery
       Robyn Aylie
8B) Pascaline Fourouge
       Emma Chapple
       Sara Devon

Then we put me, Tegan, Tegan's brothers Jack and Domonick , Kate, Amanda, and Leah on a seperate list.

Regardless of the fact that Tegan had signed up her eight year old brother Domonick, i simply couldn't bring Nathen into this. Not yet, anyways.

We figured that a lot more people would actually come to the camp, but we weren't sure. We could make do with a bunch of seventh graders and our friends, right? Wrong. Apparently eighth graders are too "cool" to go to camp. Maybe if they knew that there would be actual violence, they would come. "That's it!" i exclaimed, grabbing Tegan's arm. " Ow! Kieyra! Let go! Arm, pain!" I let go. "Sorry, like i said, i still don't know my own strength. Yet. That reminds me, I got you something." I pulled my sleeve over my hand and reached into my backpack pocket. "A really ugly neclace?" she asked, examining the neclace i had pulled out. I rolled my eyes. "Yes, technically, it's an ugly neclace." I handed it to her. "As long as you're wearing it, it'll protect you from most vampire powers."
"So you can't get inside my head?"
"Exactly."
"Where did you get it?"
"My dad left a box of them at my doorstep. I didn't excactly know what they were at the time, so when i reached in the box to pick one up..." I trailed off, showing Tegan a burn on my hand in the shape of a neclace. I shrugged and simply said "Vervain." " What's with your neclace then? If it's not covered and filled with vervain, then what is it for?" I looked down at the neclace i was wearing. Well, actually, it was more of a ring on a chain. The gemstone was blue, and it had a name...whatever it was, i think it starts with an L. "It's called...um...let's just call it my daywalking ring, okay? I found it next to that creepy, bird, put it on, and voila!, my skin no longer burned." I smiled. " Oh, and i think i have an idea of how more people will come. What if the camp were to have a battle simulation at the end of camp?"
"That's such a great idea! I'm gonna go post that on facebook. Stay here just in case someone calls." As Tegan left her room, the mysterious crow pecked at Tegan's window. It had a piece of folded up paper in it's mouth this time. I opened the window and let the bird fly in. I unfolded the paper:

Kieyra,
Yes, i know what your name is. I know who you are, what you are, and all about that neclace you wear (The gemstone is called Lapis Lazuli, by the way. You can google it.).  I am trying to help you as best i can,  but it isn't easy. I can't reveal myself to you in human form because you would recognise me and a) not believe i'm here to help or b) i'd get in big trouble with the volturi. I can tell you the fist letter of my name, but that is all.
                                                                                                                            -D
"Who's D?" Tegan was reading over my shoulder. "I'm not sure." The crow cawed. "The bird, maybe."
"Well write back a note!" Tegan said. I wrote:

D,
You're the bird, right? Do i know you? Are you from inside the hole? Why would i recognise you? Are you a girl or a guy? Are you a vampire, or are you just plain  insane?
                                                                                                      -Kieyra
I folded the note and set it down. The crow picked it up in its long beak and flew out the window.

TBC!!!!
