"Exterminate!?" I say, trying to keep a hush voice, Z nodded solemnly, Anon sneered,
"Those fools have been trying to find the cathedral for the last hundred years, but we always seem to avoid them,"
"Do you think we can avoid them this time around?" I ask, hopping for a confident answer, but their faces didn't change,
"We are not prepared, our food supply is low, and we normally try not to attract attention to our selves, which is why we stay in the graveyard," Z sighed, I raised a eyebrow at "attract attention" and realize he was talking about Dan.
"Oh shit," I mutter, earning a glare from Z for cussing, "I killed one of the members! They'll focus on this town now!" I start panicking, if they get caught then it's my fault, Z rubbed my shoulder to calm me down, but a happy grin set on his face,
"Oh it's alright honey! The higher ups will probably think it was a different creature that killed him, but just to be safe you can finally start living with us-" a hand slapped over his mouth,
"I hear car doors," Anon said, glaring down at Z, "we need to leave," The taller man picked Z up by the armpits and with a woosh was gone.

I rest my head on my pillow, a lot of odd stuff happened this morning, but a soft knock at my door alerted me, Carol with caked on makeup had a plastic bag, full of something, she waved, "Carol, something wrong?" I ask, she shook her head, she motions to her throat and mouths 'sore throat', I took notice of makeup on her neck as well. I was about to ask her about it when she handed the bag to me with a grin, I glance inside to see an array of things such as necklaces, rings, and other jewelry,
"Where did you get these?" I ask astonished at how old the jewelry looked, Carol kept her grin and pointed up, up?.... Oh, the attic, "Dad let you go up there?" Carol lost her grin and put a finger up to her lips, oh she snuck them down, she did talk about cleaning the attic up for another room. I nod and attempt to hand the bag back to her but she shook her head, pointing to me, I didn't understand but I didn't push it, Carol gave one last wave and walked out, shutting the door quietly. I glance back down at the bag, the amount of jewels in this bag could be worth millions, little known fact that my fathers side of the family used to be rich, until their more under the rug affaires caught up to them and left them bankrupt, leading my father to salvage anything of worth, hopping to sell the jewels but there was a fault in his plan, during the time of the bankruptcy anything the Winstons did to get money back where taken by the banks to fill their debt, so my father couldn't sell anything at the time.
As I was thinking of what my Father had told me years ago I thought of that amount of money, you could do anything with it, to be set for life, even start..... A new one. I glance down at the bag, growled, I shouldn't be thinking these thoughts, the sound of the bag sliding against the floor boards started me, I glance down to see my hair had picked it up and pushed it under my bed. I huff and pull the hair into a ponytail and laid down to sleep.

I sigh, hopping to get some sleep, I've skipped a day of school already from the date, so I was going to have a shitton of work, plus I now have three people to show around school, which is the worst thing for a introvert, I place a pillow over my ear to block out any annoying sounds when loud banging woke me up.
I was in the bathtub again, the lights off and warm steamy water was filling the tub, I would have enjoyed this feeling if one it was 1 am, two I was still in my pjs, and three A drowsy Karen was banging on the door whisper shouting that she needed to piss. I turn the water off and unlock the door for Karen, who glares at me sleepily, shutting the door, I sigh happy she didn't question anything, I then snuck back to my room, leaving puddles in my path, I changed into dry clothes, climbed back into bed and tried to get to sleep, only in my half asleep state did I realized something was now cuddled up to me, but before I could make a fuss I was asleep.

The next day I awoke to find a person shaped dent in the space next to me in the bed, I shrug it off, getting ready for school, today was gonna suck and I know it, I grumble to my self as i get ready for the day. I walk out of my room to see the puddles from last night still there, I grimace and shuffle away from them, I tiptoed down the hallway, hopping to not wake anyone up, but that was to good to happen on this morning, the sound of the doorbell rang though the house, I leaped to the door and open it, not ready to deal with the salesmen around here, but instead I found Anna, Dami and Coraline, all in trench coats now, I stood there shocked for a moment, but straitened up, "How did you find out where I live?"
"Karen told us," Anna stated simply, I grumble about revenge, then sigh,
"So are we going or not?" Coraline said, obviously not liking the cold, I nodded, walking out the door, locking it and walking down the walkway, with the three newbies in-tow. A few blocks away Anna tapped my shoulder, I glance down with an eyebrow raised,
"Are you not cold?" She asked, I shook my head,
"No why?"
"Because it's only 20 degrees outside and your only in a long sleeve shirt and jeans," I glance down, shit I forgot my jacket and with the extra layer of gaz I wrapped my cut in I couldn't feel anything, but I shrug, playing it off,
"Dam your pretty hardcore," Dami coughed, also not liking the colder weather, I shrug again and out of the corner of my eye I see him nudging Coraline with his elbow, she blushed and pushed him away, I focus back on the sidewalk, not wanting to be caught staring.
