Mr Aleksandrov chuckled.
    I smiled an uneasy smile.
    “I just came by to see if you liked your new accommodation.”
    “It’s amazing,” I replied, even though I had only just got here myself.
    “Good.”
    I stepped past Mr Aleksandrov and back into the main area. Tay was here also, leaning on the back of the couch, twirling a silver chain around his finger. It infuriated me just having him around. They say first impressions are everything, and my impression of him was that he was an arrogant, self-absorbed bully.
    “You do know silver doesn't kill a vampire,” I blurted.
    Tay grinned at me. For a moment, I imagined ripping his throat out with my fangs.
    “No, it doesn't kill a vampire, a little piece like this.” He lifted it into the air, examining it. “It wouldn't cause a normal vamp too much pain, but it does great damage to you.”
    I remembered the burning pain that came with the silver. It was so bad, I couldn't even think straight. I remembered my helpless scream as the silver was wrapped tightly around my wrist and all I could do was wait for the sickening pain to stop.
    “I know you attacked me at school.”
    “Yes, yes I did.” His smile broadened.
    Words failed me when I try to describe the hate I had developed for this man over such a short period of time. Everything about him annoyed me; his deep voice, and his boot cut jeans with his tucked in singlet. I even hated the way the light seeped down his long blond hair, barely settling on each strand.
    “How dare you! You could have asked me. I would have done anything you wanted if it meant ending up here. You didn’t have to attack me.”
    “But it was so much more fun.” Tay smiled.
    A low growl vibrated in my chest and Tay threw his silver onto the floor, taking my growl as an indication for a fight. He wanted to fight me one on one, without the advantage of silver. Not that he needed it, though, I was outmatched. He was stronger, taller, and faster than I was. Before I could even jump at Tay, Eli had restrained my hands behind my back.
    “Stop,” Eli demanded fiercely into my ear.
    “Control your pet.” Tay snickered.
    He narrowed his eyes at me, provoking me to try and wiggle out of Eli’s grasp. I was angry and I wasn’t going to be satisfied until I tore his head from his body. Everything that I had been through this year and last flooded into me, fuelling my anger more. I struggled harder against Eli, trying to free my hands. I felt a familiar warm, tingling sensation beginning at my toes. Quickly, it began coursing its way up my body, this time bypassing my heart and going straight to my head. It was magic, my magic. I concentrated on the plant hanging from the ceiling, above the coffee table, a few metres away from Tay. The plant started to grow and stretch, making its way towards Tay's head rapidly. I heard Mr Aleksandrov gasp.
    The plant, which I identified immediately as a Golden Pothos Vine, my mother’s favourite, wrapped around Tay's neck. His hands grasped at his throat as he tried to pull the vine away but it was too tight. His eyes were wide with fear and small ragged gasps escaped from his throat.
    “Her concentration,” Mr Aleksandrov stated calmly.
    Eli knocked me to the floor, my arms still pinned to my back. The plant dropped and hung loosely down to the ground. Tay took no time to recover from his strangulation; he grabbed his chain and jumped at me, but Eli leapt at him, shoving him backwards. After a few misguided steps, Tay recovered from his backwards stumble.
    “You’re protecting a vampire?”
    I couldn’t help but smile at his expression, an expression of pure disgust. Tay and Eli stared each other down as I rose to my feet.
    “Tay, relax,” Mr Aleksandrov commanded.
    I saw his jaw clench in frustration before he returned to leaning on the couch, twirling his silver like he was moments earlier. Eli’s eyes narrowed in on me, annoyance dominating his features. He pulled a long piece of silver from his
