I ran my fingers through my wet hair as I slowly walked down the stairs with Drew. He had stayed all night and day with me, until Sebastian came in and said that Dad wanted us down for dinner. I didn't want to go and quite frankly, I knew Drew didn't want to go either, but we gave in...

Only after I took a shower.

Drew told me I had had another vision, though I didn't remember it, just like the first time. He asked me about it, but what could I tell him? I couldn't remember what had happened, let alone that I even had a vision. All I knew what that I had a migraine the size of Texas right now and I didn't want to deal with anyone right now. I just wanted to pull the blackout curtains over the windows and never open them again.

Then again, I really just wanted to do that because I wanted Deric back. I didn't like that he wasn't with me, even though I knew and understood why he wasn't. He is my life, no matter how stalker-ish that sounds. Deric is my life, my love, and I wanted him here with me.

Drew and I walked into the kitchen, much bigger than the last one we had. In fact, the whole house seemed bigger than what I was used to, and I didn't like it. It just didn't fell right. It didn't feel like home. I didn't even think it would feel like home with Deric around.

"...I don't feel comfortable with this at all." I heard Sebastian say as we got closer to the dining room. You had to go through the kitchen to get to the dining room apparently. "I don't like that she knows about it, but I'm glad she does. I'm tired of lying to her, but this? I'm not liking that the new base of operation is at our house." Drew sighed as I stopped, fear building up inside me. What did that mean for me?

"We have discussed it with the others Sebastian. She won't become a hunter and she won's have anything to do with the organization. Those were my terms when I took this job out here."

"So it wasn't because of me getting thrown out my window on the second floor that got you worried about needing to get me out of there at all." I said as I walked into the dining room. I leaned up against the door frame as they all looked at me. "You know, I'm liking the new hearing thing Drew. It makes it harder for them to lie to me." He rubbed my back.

"Sam-"

"It's okay. It doesn't matter. As long as I don't have to deal with any hunters or do any hunts, I don't care. Just don't touch my vampires or werewolves, understood?" no one spoke and I stood up straight.

"Okay. I get it Sam. You're mad at us. What can we say? We are sorry for protecting you? Trying to keep you out of all of this? Come on Sammie, you're one of them." I tensed at my father's words. I felt Drew start to move beside me, but I placed my hand on his chest.

"Don't worry about it Drew." I said. "If that's how they feel about me, then so be it." I turned around and grabbed his arm. I pulled him out of the dining room and back through the kitchen. "I need some air from all of this." Drew sighed and grabbed my hand. He started pulling me toward the door. He grabbed my coat from the rack and handed it to me. I put it on as he grabbed his and did the same. He opened the door only to reveal Lance standing in the doorway. He looked genuinely shocked. About what, I had no clue, and honestly, I didn't care right now. I just didn't want to be here right now.

"Walk and talk Lance." I said. "We non-humans aren't very welcome... except for Cam it seems." I wouldn't admit it out loud, but I was jealous of that. They didn't seem to mind that Cam wasn't human but she was there, but I was suddenly a big issue.
