I shift in my sleep, feeling the warm blanket that cover me mold back on to my body, I sigh happily, finally feeling comfort after..... What?
Suddenly everything came rushing back, the thing in the mirror, the book, the knife. My eyes snap open, glaring at my wrist, it was covered in some tightly wound cloth, I ran a finger over the fabric to find if soft to the touch. I sigh, then look around, I was definitely in the caverns, due to the clay walls and floor, I move my legs to find a small amount of stiffness, I could still move them but with a little difficultly, I stood up and stretched my back, but when I looked down at my self I found new clothes on me, a simple white dress shirt and long black skirt, no shoes or socks though. As I was examining my new attire the door to the room open, reviling Brother Z and Anon, deep in conversation, appearing to not even notices me, "Look, she would be much safer if she-"
"You just want to take away what left she ha-" Anon shouted,
"You know they'll be coming soon so-" that's when they caught sight of me, they looked embarrassed but Anon hid it with a sneer, Brother Z stepped over to me "Oh good your awake, when I felt something was a miss I sent Anon over to check on ya and he found you all cut up!"
"Yeah, sorry about that," I mumbled, rubbing my neck, Brother Z hugged me,
"Oh don't be, we all been though it," He said in a calming voice, rubbing my shoulder, he pulled back, " now how's about we show you around?"
"We?" Anon said, " oh come on! I brought the girlie didn't I? Can't you just do it?"
"You can use your power to show her around," Z said with a smirk, Anon's face lit up,
"What are we waiting for?!" Anon said grabbing our arms and pulling us out of the room.
We stopped in font of the room where I first met Z, then Anon gripped our shoulders and scrunched his face up, then there was a rush of air, and we where in another room, "That's so cool!" I shout before I could stop my self,
"Oh know right!" Anon said with a grin, but it disappeared with a cough, "now show the girl around,"
"Alright," Z said with a smile, "this is the kitchen, it has odd crevices where we put meat and blocks of ice to keep them fresh," I look around to see it was true, many holes in the walls were filled with bloody ice. We went to four more rooms, the healing wing, the training room, the mass commons, and the exits, but the last one shocked me,
We landed in what looks like a church, only a bit beat up, "and finally the Cathedral, where we practice some differ faiths, and have the different records of zombies in the past,"
"How did you set this up? It has marble walls?"
"Oh, this was a church, but it was over a sink hole so it sunk into the ground, so now we use it as a base for the caverns," Brother Z explained, a hand on my shoulder, a proud look on his face, "Now let's show you to your ro-""I should be getting home, step mom will be waking up soon and she'll have a major hangover," I unintentionally interrupted, chucking a bit, Z sighed,
"I'll take her to her home," Anon said with a smirk, Z glared at him but gave me a sweet hug, Anon grabbed my shoulder and woosh we where gone.What I noticed when I walked in was a completely spotless house, any sine of what happen bleached away, I slinked silently down the hall, hoping to not wake up anyone, but of courses I do. Carol was wiping the dust off the framed pictures in the hall way, a tight smile on her lips. It was obvious she had caked on the foundation cream, due to her now gold skin, I lightly touch her shoulder to get her attention, but she flinched, spun around, and was almost in tears, but when she saw it was me she calmed down.
"Carol, what's wrong?" I asked, concerned for my stepmom,
"Oh nothing dear, just a bit jumpy," Carol laughed, I squint my eyes at her in disbelief, but she changed the subject like a pro, "oh, just so you know, I will actually make dinner tonight, so be ready for a family dinner,"
"Oh, I look forward to your cooking," I smile, hopping it wasn't to obvious that I new she changed the subject, I walk past her with a smile. I made it to my room, and realized I was still in the clothes Z gave me! Wait, why didn't Carol say anything about it? I shake my head and changes into my normal clothes, then walked to the bathroom to find it unlocked ,huh, guess Anon unlocked it when he got me?
I push though the door to find no trace of what happen last night, I couldn't see the knife anywhere, but something told me it was near. I had the feeling someone was watching me, I looked around to see the mirror, once again, showing that weird thing again, but it had its hand to the mirror's glass, I stare at it for a moment before it moved its had back, and pressed its hands together, as if to say 'hey, put your hand to mine!', then put its hand back. I scoot closer to the mirror, then slowly rises my hand, then went to press it to the mirror.
"Holy Shit!" I hear behind me, glancing at the mirror I see Karen with a horrified look on her face, her eyes locked with the thing in the mirror. I turned around, and as calmly as I could said "Huh?"
"That thing in the mirror!" Karen nearly shrieked, I turned towards the mirror, the acted as if I didn't see the thing, which had started to look offended that I was ignoring it, then turned back to Karen,
"What are you talking about?" I ask calmly, Karen rubbed her eyes, squinted at the mirror, the shook her head,
"That stuff Ari gave me hasn't worn off," she said then walked away. I sighed and looked at the mirror, to see it was gone, I shiver, then headed back to my room, to see my phone, lit up, showing 4 messages,
Hey vampire chick! It's Dan.

What do you say?
I was shocked, no one has ever asked me out, well except the twins, but that was for a creepy reason, but should I? I've never dated so this could get tricky,-Um hey, I'll take you up on that offer,
---------------------------------------------
Sweet! The movies tomorrow at 6 pm?
---------------------------------------------
-Sure, sounds cool, see you then.
Well, that was weird, a date, huh, I'll try to be casual, I barely know the guy! I need to clear my head.I walk to the front door to see my Dad coming in ,clothes put on haphazardly, and hair in a mess. He didn't even try to look me in the eye as he tried to walk past me, but I stop him with my hand in his arm,
"Are you kidding me," I say in a dark tone, he glares at me, but didn't give me an answer, "you are just coming home, not even trying to hide the fact you just came home from another women's house!"
"What are you talking about?" Dad grumbled,
"You. Have. Lip.stick. On. Your. Neck," I growl out, Dad covers his neck with one hand, and stomped to his room.
I stomp back to my room, pissed that I was taking it worse the Carol ever would, the glance back at my phone remembered the date, the covered my face.
I don't know how long I laid in bed, but I was woken up to Soft knocking at my door, then Carol opening it, "Marry, honey, it's time for dinner! We're having stake!"
"Huh? Oh right!" I say jumping out of my bed, Carol giggled and walked down the hallway, I went to follow her, but stop dead in my tracks. The house smelled different, as in different different, I stumble down the hallway to the kitchen to see Karen and Dad, sitting at the table, Carol was making plates, the smell hit me full force, it was like the treat all over again, I woozily sat at the table, blinking slowly to get my mind off the smell, but after one of my slower blinks, a plate appeared in front of me. It had stake on it, mashed potato, and Mac'n'cheese, I looked around the table to everyone eating, I sigh and reach for my fork and knife, then cut a chunk off, plopped it into my mouth and had to hold a moan back.
This is not stake.
