Very early in the morning, Camille woke up to the sound of the front door opening. Guessing it would be one of her friends, she walked down the stairs. But as soon as she caught a glimpse of her dad in the kitchen, starting to cook himself dinner, she ran down.

As soon as she reached the bottom though, she stopped and fought back her smile. "Dad!" She called out, making him tiredly turn his head up to her.

"Oh..." he turned away to place the pan of food into the oven, "hey, sweetheart. Did I wake you?"

"No, no, no. Not at all." Camille shook her head, even though he very much did wake her. It was currently two in the morning and she didn't have to wake up for school till another three and a half hours.

Ever since the day Doug tried to hunt Sarah down, Camille had been weirdly tired. Unlike her vampire friends, Camille actually did need sleep, just not much. Just about four-five hours. But ever since the other morning, a pain ran through her body anytime she flashed her fangs, used her super speed, or used any sort of magic at all. And made her feel completely drained of energy.

"Did you need something, sweetie?"

"Oh!" Camille rubbed her eyes to wake herself. "Um, yeah, i was... just... getting some food." She began towards the fridge and got out some leftovers that she had taken from Ethan's house.

"Okay, darling." Theo Stentson said, placing the ramen noodles he had made into his bowl.

Camille mindlessly stuck her food in the microwave, closing it and walking away to without remembering to even start the microwave. She took a seat at the island, facing her father who placed his bowl down on the island to put the seasoning in.

"How's school going?" Theo asked his half asleep daughter. "Miss Tyler still being annoying?"

"No, I don't have her anymore." Camille fiddled with her finger as she kept her hands on the island. "Not since last year."

"Well, has anyone been annoying?"

"I mean... there was this girl Bella that I didn't like very much." Camille placed an elbow on the table and held her head up.

"Why is that?" Theo took a fork-full of noodles.

"Benny raised... dog from dead." Camille's eyes closed for a good two seconds before opening again.

"Camille." Theo's voice suddenly became serious, making his daughter jump in her seat. When she looked around the room, she realized the lights had flickered as her eyes fought to stay open.

"I'm sorry." Camille apologized quickly, getting up from her seat. "I'm gonna go to bed! Night!" She ran out of the kitchen and into her room a as quick as she could without her vampire speed, that was not working due to how exhausted she was.

"So your dad just ignores that you have powers?" Sarah questioned as she grabbed books from her locker.
