Benny and I walked a little bit behind Ethan as he tracked Rory's phone with his to see where we are going.

"Are you ok? After the party I mean?" Benny asked me.

"Y-yeah, w-what do you mean?" I asked trying not to give into anything if he didn't know yet.

"It's just, at the party I noticed a few things." He admitted to me.

"What kind of things?" I curiously asked looking at him.

"Two marks on your neck that looked a lot like fang marks, and when Sarah was about to feed on Rory I looked over and could have swore I saw you had fangs too." He stated quietly as if he was mad at himself for saying anything. I just nodded my head not sure what to say, he was right. "That's why you were so freaked when Rory said if he didn't feed he would die. You're still a fledgling aren't you?" He asked me and I only nodded again but then stopped and turned around.

"I thought you didn't want to tell anyone?" Ethan asked.

"I didn't tell him, he saw me at the party." I told Ethan chewing on my bottom lip.

"So you know since the party? She didn't even realize until early this morning." Ethan said beginning to walk again.

"I guess it's not that bad, I mean I'll have Rory around forever too." I said smiling.

"I'm not sure if that's good news." Ethan said and Benny agreed with him.

"Why do you guys have to be so mean to him?" I asked them. I honestly didn't mind Rory at all, he was my best friend. They just shook their heads and we walked.

We ducked down behind a head stone in a grave yard and Benny spilled a little bit of the holy water on my hand and it burned me. I bit down on my jacket to keep from yelping and giving away our location as I shook my hand and it healed.

"Sorry." Benny whispered as I got down next to them.

"Their over there." Ethan said pointing to a group of vampires digging something up.

"Oh, their digging up a grave, very classy." I joked and Benny laughed but Ethan kept his eyes locked onto the group.

"Look at them, hoodies and sunglasses. Nice look if you're a..." Benny started but drifted off then he remembered that I was one of them and I had on a hoodie and sunglasses. Next thing we know Sarah walked up behind us, Benny and Ethan were shocked but I heard her coming because of my now enhanced hearing.

"What are you doing here?" Ethan asked Sarah.

"Same as you. I'm following them. I just wish I knew what they were up to." She said watching them dig.

"Well according to Rory they are looking for the Cuban animals." I said quoting what Rory said.

"Cuban animals? You mean the cubile animus?" Sarah asked. "I've heard Jessie mention it before I think it's Latin or something." As soon as she said that I gasped as I felt myself get cold and what was in front of me disappeared and was replaced by something else. A tombstone: Shirley Ingret 1912-1998. Then the numbers moved some of them disappeared and when they were done moving they stopped on 219. Then everything when white and I saw a box with strange carvings on it then everything went white again and it was back to normal.

"Two hundred and nineteen..." Ethan and I said at the same time.

"Wikipedia says that cubile animus is Latin for nest of souls." Benny said looking at his phone.

"I think I just saw it." Ethan said and I stared at him wide eyed.

"This little box with weird carvings on it?" I ask him.
