I grabbed a gun and shot a manikin.
'How could you not tell me this'
'Why does it matter' shot back.
I don't reply and shoot another bullet.
'So we are keeping things from each other?' I ask.
'Lillie if you forgot we met yesterday and I told you last night!' She confirms.
'Abigail who fosters you?'
'Okay I might have something else to tell you' she sends.
'What's that you secretly murder?' I ask pathetically as I shoot again.
'No' she simply sends.
'Then what?' I send annoyed.
'My names not Abigail it's a stage name' she sends.
'Oh now we are hiding identities!' I shoot.
'If you must know my name Piper'
'Hi Piper do you secretly wish upon my death?' I send annoyed.

She looks at me,"Look okay I'm sorry!"

I ignore her and continue piercing the manikin with bullets.

'At least you have a family' she finally sends.
'You actually know that! wow that reminds me who didn't tell me about them self' I reply.
'Fine Miss perfect I'm done' she sends.
Before I can say anything else she storms off. I continue shooting, but can't stop thinking that I over reacted.

It's been two days since I've talked to Piper. Everyone I've asks hasn't seen her since that day. I've tried sending her messages, but she's either not getting them or just not answering. Right now the main war people are discussing positions and I should get a text any time saying where I am.

My brother looks at me,"Are you still thinking about that Piper girl?"

I nod.

"Sis forget her!" He says.

"I can't," I whisper.

"I have the same power as a bunch of people doesn't mean I have to talk to them!" He says.

"It's different," I reply.

"How?" He simply asks.

"It just is," I say remembering my promise.

"Whatever." He says and leaves to the kitchen.

After a while my phone buzzes and before I can look at it my brother comes flying in the room again,"I'm a killer in row four!"

I open the text and my heart stops. Not literally.

"I-I'm one of the people that go out first pretending as a weak," I stumble out.

My mom comes in,"I'm a care provider!"

"Vampire as a care provider?" I ask.

"Sweetly I've become use to blood. For the fact non of my kids are vampires," she assures me.

"Touché," I state.

Then I tell her what position I got.

"That's an honor you shouldn't be scared," she tells me.

"I know I'm just nervous," I say.

"Don't be!" She says.

"When does war start?" I ask.

"We are targeting them tomorrow!" She says excitedly,"let's get rid of them once and for all!"
