Hey all you Nicholas Flamel Readers out there! This is my VERY first fanfic. I hope you don't expect a lot out of me, but here goes my best shot!!!

It was late at night, and everyone had fallen asleep in their separate rooms. Josh Newman had a room to himself. His sister, Sophie Stayed with Scatty, and Nicholas bunked with Saint Germion."

He sighed and thought of the days events. He had chased a Legendary Creature called Niddhog Down the streets of Paris, attempting to save someone he did not trust, He got awakened by The

Elder Mars, and witnessed his death, and He experienced what it was like, to be awakened. He rolled over on his bed not being able to catch any sleep. Then he heard a few knocks on his door. He

sighed expecting it to be The Alchemyst, Nicholas Flamel.

"Just a second." He said pulling on a button up shirt, not even bothering with the buttons. He opened the door, and saw something he was not expecting. Standing in the door frame was not Nicholas,

but the Warrior Maiden, The Shadow, Scatty. He stared up at her blankly, before she smiled and asked

"May I come in?" Josh was speechless, He stepped out of her way as she entered the hotel Room. He Could not see her very well, so he flicked on the lights, revealing an old looking room. The Dry paper

on the walls were chipping off, there were obvious signs of leakage on the ceiling, and the bed in the corner, was lumpy. However, Josh liked it that way. He Set his eyes on the Vampire standing in front of his door. She was Absolutely Breathtaking, though he would never say this out loud. He looked in to her Magnificent Emerald eyes and smiled. She looked in her teens, but he knew better, she was at least two thousand years old.

"Hey" He chirped. He looked her over, she was wearing her usual clothes. Her jeans, and combat boots. But now she was wearing a white blouse, that looked really good on her.

"Hi." She said back smiling.

"What's up?" He asked, feeling like he could not get any lamer.

"Nothing much, just thought I might pay you a visit before you go to bed." She smiled... surprisingly like any teen girl would.

He chuckled and asked "I won't be going to sleep for a very long time," He gazed out the window, because he did not want her to catch him staring upon her beauty. He was hit with a recoil. -Did I just think that?- Josh thought to himself. "Shouldn't you be getting to bed?"

She quickly retorted "Vampires don't need to sleep, we have eliminated that from our necessities." She walked over to him, and gazed out the window too. "I wanted to thank you... for today,"

He looked over at her curiously, then asked "What did I do?"

She smiled and recalled "You chased the beast Niddhog Half way across paris, just to rescue me." She looked into his eyes and said "You don't even like me and yet you were willing to risk your life for mine."

Josh chuckled and stated "I never said I did not like you, I simply stated I did not Trust you. But it is weird, I feel like I can trust you now."

Scatty blushed a bit, and uttered "No one has ever done that before, I have always been alone, fighting by myself," She snapped her head back up, "But you, saved me, You Single-Handedly stopped Niddhog,"

Josh shook his head and explained "I did chase the bloody thing to try to save you, that part is true. However, The one who truly rescued you is Sophie. She finished the job after the Disir Attacked me."

Scatty Looked at him in shock and stumbled over her own words saying "Th...the Disir... Attacked you?" She hung her head in shame, -How could I be so weak, Josh nearly got killed trying to protect me, he had

to fight one of the Legendary Disir, all on my expense.- Then she asked with all care "Were you hurt?"

Josh felt that last attack again, gently rubbing his arm. But he did not want to show any weakness to the Warrior Maid, He simply shook his head and said "No, Clarent protected me,"

The Shadow frowned at that name. Clarent, the cowards blade.

Josh sat on the edge of his bed and said "I now understand why you hate the blade, and myself, I am starting to get a little disgusted with it myself. It gave me the Memories of Niddhog when I stabbed it, Now my

head is filled with Emotions that I have never Experienced before. Some good," He said blushing. He thanked god... or whoever the supreme overlord of everything was, that Sophie was not there, she would Instantly

Tell that her younger-by-28-seconds brother Josh, Had feelings for Scatty. "Some bad." He frowned feeling hatred for the blade, for Dee, and for the Dark Elders.

Scatty sat down next to him and put her hand on his back. This was very Awkward for her, she had never done this before. "Yet you still used the blade in attempt to free me. Why?" She asked.

Josh smiled and stated "Well I was not going to let you die there, now was I?" He stared into her Hypnotizing eyes and gave her an assuring look.

She smirked and asked "Is that the only reason?" She was luring her into her trap.

Josh swore in his mind, knowing that she had him. Better out with the truth, he Supposed "Well that... and perhaps...it's because... I have some feelings for..."

Josh never got to finish that sentence, because before he knew what was happening, Scatty's lips were against his. He opened his eyes wide in surprise. And thought -What is happening? Is she kissing me?-

He had never felt this before, He closed his eyes and let himself be absorbed, before finally breaking the kiss.

Okay everyone I'm going to end it there, It sucked I know, but hey... I try. Please Review this story, and let me know how you feel while you are waiting for Chapter two to come out.
