      Dear Diary,

  Sorry it's been a while I used to write everyday and now I only write when I have time which is right now watching Lizzie punch a punching bag probably pretending it's Alyssa Chang. The weekend was exciting and dangerous also something I had never experienced before which was thrilling but also scary that someone had actually wanted to kill me. I felt bad for everyone that she had to be locked up, I knew Hope liked her as a friend and they were getting closer and I knew Kaleb liked her a lot and now the fact that she was planning to kill me destroyed all that. Anyways the weekend was riveting me and Lizzie had fun I always wondered why she was never in my life but Ric was she was basically my cousin.

I still have yet to talk to Hope yet I'm dreading it. I'm guessing she's back from her trip already or she never left which would be pathetic not to leave because me and Lizzie were gone for two days or maybe it wasn't but I didn't want to believe she stayed for me even though that would also be my dream come true- I just didn't want to be hurt again. I remember when I was little and-

My pen drifted off of my diary when I heard boots clicking towards me. I lifted up my head and saw Hope walking right to me. Lizzie momentarily stopped throwing punches towards the bag filled with sand and scrunched her nose at me before scurrying off. She knew I didn't want to be alone with Hope.

"Hey" Hope said.

"Hi" I replied and started packing up my notebooks and diary as a distraction. I remembered what Lizzie told me about Penelope's pen and snapped the pen in half watching the magic slowly disintegrate from the pen.

Hope face contorted of confusion "long story" I replied and tossed the pen in the trash next to me. Lizzie would definitely read what I had just wrote and I knew would be waiting for a confrontation later.

"So um I wanted to talk" she mentioned while fidgeting with her fingers.

I blew out a big breathe of air and leaned against the bleachers.

"Okay"

She looked back at the gym doors and back at me "can we talk maybe later at the mystic grill or somewhere"

"Yeah sure" I smiled and packed my diary and stuff into the small backpack I had brought with me.

I was nervous to say the least, I wasn't sure what she was going to say to me at all. The whole conversation could go two ways. One she says she likes me- happily ever after, Two she apologizes she doesn't have feelings for me- I look stupid. But either way I was going tonight.

"Alright well I have some things to take care of so I'll see you later" she spun around and walked out of the gym before Lizzie unvisiqued herself and made herself appear next to me. I almost screamed and threw my hand to my chest.

"Elizabeth Jenna Saltzman you just scared the living shit out of me"

"Well what am I for but scaring people" she gave a devilish grin and walked infront of me.

"What are you doing here spying on me" I asked her. It wasn't unlike Lizzie to do this I just wanted to know what her intentions were.

"I heard they were holding Cleo downstairs"

"Great"

"You don't want to see her"

"Yeah Lizzie I was to see the girl that tried killing me" I mentioned and rolled my eyes. I thrusted my backpack straps around my shoulders and started walking ahead of Lizzie out of the gym.

"Ok ok tough subject sorry anyway I heard your going out tonight and you need to let me help you get ready" she clapped her hands like a toddler. That's what I know about Lizzie you mention fashion or the opportunity to get ready and she jumps at the chance.

"Fine but I'm not going all out" I pointed my finger in her face.

"Fine" she pouted and walked off and not one minute later Mg had walked up to me.

"Hey mg" I tucked my hair back behind my ears from my eyes and gave him a smile. I hadn't really talked to mg a whole lot since I got here but I had gotten to know him pretty well from Lizzie who had a budding relationship with him.

"Hey Stefanie question?" Mg asked with his hands tucked behind his back.

"Yeah what's up" I kept my smile plastered on my face but it dropped when I saw the look on mg's face. He looked like someone just told him his kitten had died.

"I need you to come with me" I nodded quickly insinuating that I would go and he forcefully grabbed my wrist and vamp sped all the way up to where I immediately recognized as Hopes room.

"What's going on" I said and looked around the room and spotted Lizzie- how did she get here so fast, Josie, kaleb, mg, and Hope. So basically the whole super squad.

"Another monster" Kaleb mentioned as he packed his bag filled with stakes, crossbows, blood basically how to kill a monster 101 class.

"Great" I muttered and dropped down my backpack.

"What are we up against"
