"So what's the plan?" The three of us gather around and sit on the dining room table,
"I'm thinking.. let's kill the b-"
"Before you finish that sentence, how about we start thinking about how vampires are immortal?" I yelled,
"Hmm, I forgot. Sorry. Continue, please." Serenity calmly says,
"Since we can't use vervain on her, thanks to my grandmother, how about we just use a simple spell?"
"A spell? What kind of spell? You don't even know how to pronounce most words in English- how do you expect to learn Latin in less than a day..?" Vivian scoffs,
"With a little help from my two both intelligent friends.. So what do you guys say? You in?"
Vivian and Serenity look at eachother and then sigh, "Of course we're in."
"When do we start this little project?" Serenity says,
"Soon. We're not being timed, relax guys."
You could tell by Serenity's face that she's not fully on board with what we're going to do, but before she gets the chance to say something, her phone starts ringing.
"Hello?" she puts her mom on speaker, "What's up, mom?"
"Serenity, I know this is late and all, and you're probably going to hate me for this but you need to come with me."
"Where are you right now?" Serenity scrunches up her face and looks at Vivian with a confused look.
"Outside of Vivian's house by the front porch, say your goodbye's. You won't be seeing those two in a long time." she hangs up mysteriously, Serenity's eyes are watering up as she pulls the 3 of us into a group hug, "I swear I'm going to find out what's going on, I'll keep in contact with you both, okay?"
"Ser, it's probably just nothing. You'll be fine, and of course we'll keep in contact."
"Yeah, exactly. We'll see you soon, Serenity." I walk her outside, waving goodbye as she walks in her mother's car.

Serenity's POV:
It was silent at first, I was dying to ask her questions.
"You've been awfully quiet, don't you wanna' know anything?"
"NAW MOM, how could you tell?!?" I reply sarcastically,
She sighs, "Serenity, you have no idea how hard this is to explain. Which is why I'm just going to jump ahead straight forward. You're a gypsy."
I burst out laughing, "Excuse me? A- A- A gypsy?"
"Mhm, a gypsy. Quit laughing, let me explain."
"Well.. what are you waiting for? Go ahead."
"I didn't want to tell you a few years ago, I didn't think you were ready. Listen, I know about your friends Vivian and Estelle. I know that Vivian is a fairy and that Estelle is a witch-"
"Hold on, mom. You're starting to scare me."
"Just listen, okay? I heard about the fire that happened in your school, I heard that it was easy to put out and it didn't hurt the property as much as everyone thought it would. You could easily tell that magic was involved in that. Your friend Estelle, she's in danger. No- wait. She is danger. You can't hang out with her anymore, I'm sorry. And a fairy by a witch's side? Do you realize what they're able to do?- Wait.."
"No, mom. I just found out what I really was. I didn't know I was supposed to study about every supernatural creature now, did I?"
"Sorry. Anyways, I know that the vampires are back in town. They were gone for a few years now. Well.. More like 17 years, but they were gone. I thought that Athens was safe, which is why I decided to raise you here. Vampires cannot be trusted. You have to listen to me when I tell you that. You can never trust a vampire. No matter what."
"Mom.."
"I'm sorry, was that all too much for you? I'll stop talking now."
"No.. mom.. Where are we going?"
She was quiet again.
"Mom?"
"We're going to the airport, and we're also moving to Seattle."
