"Do we have a problem here?" Dave asked starting to feel uncomfortable.

"Ahm. . . sorry." Seth came to pat Lyndon's shoulder. "Your daughter seems to resemble someone we know. ." then he paused. "Sa5m, is it not?"

"Yes sir. With a 5." Sa5m politely responded.

"Pardon?" Seth cleared upon hearing the 5.

"My name is spelled as S-A-5-M. But the 5 is silent." She said.

"Wow. So unique. . .so unique among the others." Seth praised.

"Well i'm glad that the evening went well. The Andersons are so noble, right?" Jessie said while clearing the table.

"More like weird." Sa5m said.

"Yeah. That guy is quite attractive but is so weird. Have you seen the way he looked at you? It's like you're a delicious piece of meat and that he is a hungry predator urging to taste you." Katherine described and all of them laughed at her silly thought.

"Stop that kids. They just moved here and so maybe they're not use to the environment." Dave said. "And they have a reasonable explanation for the way they reacted when they saw you." He continued.

"Yah right." Nate scoffed then went off to his room.

Andersons Residence . .

"I swear. I saw the glow in her eyes." Lyndon said.

"Be calm, soldier. We must be assure that first and have evidence before we report such things in the palace." Seth said feeling anxious as well.

"She may be an imposter. We can't just let any intruder enter the gates of the castle." Amilia said calmly.

"You're right. We must not rush things yet. We should make sure she's is not fake."

"How did the dinner went?" Mike asked while twisting a ball.

"Dinner with who?" Katelyn asked.

"With the new neighbors. Duh?" Mike said.

"It went well. Though they seemed to be a little weird. But we'll take that as somehow maybe environmental shock. I heard that they came from Sitka, Alaska. And we all know what is out there, right? Cold. And here at Arcata, the weather is good and warm. Well, that's one." Sa5m explained.

"Wow. . . they must have a very good skin complexion." Mike said. "Is there a girl in their family?"

"Mike?!" Sa5m scolded.

"What? I just want to know." Mike defended.

"Yep actually. They compose of a father and his two kids, Lyndon and Amilia." Sa5m said. "You know, Amilia is so pretty but yet so pale. My mom thinks she's ill."

"She may be a follower of the darkness." Katelyn said with wide eyes.

"Here we go again." Mike whined and Sa5m giggled.

"Good morning class." Mrs. Saltzman greeted.

"Good morning ma'am." The class replied.

"As you all heard, we have two new students. And may we all be happy to welcome them in our period, they will be in our Homeroom class." And she signaled someone outside their door.

"Class, I would like you to meet, Mark Lyndon Dave and Amilia Andrea Mae Anderson."

Sa5m looked to her friends and make an impression explaining that those new students are her neighbors and Katelyn and Mike got the message and nodded.

"Any questions?" Mrs. Saltzman said.

"Are they two related?" Mike asked looking at Amilia.

"Actually, yes. She's my sister." Lyndon said loud enough for everyone to hear but he is starring to only one person, Sa5m.
