Episode Seven

“You are really going to make me do it, aren't you? ” Hazel whined.

“It'd be nice of you.” Roak said.

“But I can't just forgive her. She killed my friend.”  Hazel reminded Roak.

“She is my sister. She has no friends in this town and I'd prefer if she did something besides think of ways to kill Alice.” He suggested.

“Fine, but I'm inviting Luna and Gretchen too.” She replied.

“Thats fine. Just keep her in line for me.” Roak begged.

“Ill try my best, but I won't make any promises.” Hazel said.

†††

“Valeska, wait up! ” Yells Hazel.

She turns around to see Hazel. She rolls her eyes and begins to walk faster. Hazel begins to sprint down the hallways. She then finally catches her.

“Oh Hazel, I had no idea you were looking for me.” Valeska say innocently.

“You saw me and.... Nevermind. I'd like to invite you to my house tonight for a sleep over.”

Valeska stared at her for a few moments confused, then she burst into laughter.

“Im sorry but you've got to be fucking with me.” Valeska laughed.

“No, I'm being dead serious. No pun intended.” Hazel said.

Valeska bit her lower lip. For some odd reason she couldn't resist going. She didn't want to, but she felt like she had to.

“Fine, but no bloody chick flicks. I don't feel like puking tonight.” Valeska answered.

†††

“Why her? I'd rather have smelly Kelly come to this sleepover.” Luna complained.

“Maybe she'll be nice." Said Gretchen.

“Nice isn't in that girl's vocabulary.” Hazel responded.

“Then why the hell did you invite her?! ” Asked Luna.

“Because Roak thought it'd be nice for her to make friends.” Hazel answered.

“Look I don't know the girl and really don't care about her. I just wanna watch Dear John.” Gretchen said off topic.

“Cant, Valeska doesn't like chick flicks.” Hazel tells her.

“Scratch that, I hate her now. Who doesn't like romance?" Asked Gretchen.

“Someone with no true heart.” Laughed Luna.

There was a knock at the door. They all lift their heads up. Luna shook her head in disappointment.

Valeska walked in the house. She wore neon pink pajamas with fuzzy slippers. She looked different than usual. Luna begins to laugh hystetically.

“Whats so fun? The fact that you have A cups? ” Jokes Valeska to Luna.

Luna stands up but Gretchen pushes her back down. You could see the anger in her eyes.

“So what are we going to do? Have a pillow fight? Isn't that what american girls do? ” Valeska asked.

“We are going to get to know each other better.” Hazel answered.

“Some people are easy to read.” Luna said giving a dirty glare to Valeska.

“Doesnt matter. I'll start first. My name is Hazel Elizabeth Wilson. I'm 17, soon to be eighteen. I'm a Taurus. Who is next? ”

“I guess I'll go since I'm the outsider. I'm a mean bitch.” Valeska says.

“Hell yeah.” Luna interjects.

“Anyways. I choose to keep to myself and not love people because you are at your weakest when you're near the one you love. I can't let people take advantage of me. That is why I choose not to love.” Valeska added.

Hazel couldn't help but stare at Valeska in amazement. She had never seen this side of her, it was astonishing.

Roak and Godrick walked to the closest bar. They walk in and take their seat at a booth. The waitress came by and gave them the beer they ordered.

“Where would the lovely Hazel be this evening? ” Godrick asked.

“Dont start brother. She is with me because she loves me. I don't want tension between us.” Roak answers.

“I was just asking as a friend, but somebody is on edge. Are you scared of her leaving you?"

“You'd have to be a moron to leave Roakie.” Says the voice of Alice.

“You had no problem leaving him in 1012. So does that make you a moron? ”Godrick says.

“Laugh it up, but he left me no choice. Let's not bring up bad memories from the past.” She adds.

She then takes Godrick's beer and throws it back quickly being supernatural. She then burps.

“Now let's cut the shit and get to the reason why I'm here.” She said.

†††

The others were sleeping. The only ones awake were Hazel and Valeska. Hazel was eating ice cream when Valeska walked in the kitchen to join her.

“Do you mind if I join you? ” Valeska asked.

Hazel patted the empty seat next to her. Valeska walked over and sat in it. She grabbed a spoon and began to join Hazel eat it. She puckered her lips from its temperature.

“This stuff it good.” She says.

“Im glad you came. You are different than I expected. ” Hazel says.

“I just thought you all should know why I'm a bitch. After tonight, I'll be back to hating you. So, don't get used to it.” Valeska answers.

“Trust me, I'd rather it be that way. I like our competition.” Hazel admits.

“You're not much competition.” Valeska laughs.

“How come I got the lead role in the musical? ” Hazel reminded.

“True. I'm going to go home. Sleepovers aren't my thing.” Valeska says.

She gets up and walks out the door. Hazel knew that things between her and Valeska had changed. She just didn't know how she felt about it.

†††

“So Alice is here to make Hazel activate the pure blood gene? ” Valeska asks her brothers.

“Thats what she told us.” Godrick confirms.

“As much as I would love to see that whore Hazel to die, we can't have another pure blood in this world. The one we have is bad enough.” Valeska says.

“Thats the problem. If Alice wants Hazel to be one, Hazel has to die. We all know how impatient Alice can be.” Roak says.

“Meaning she could try to kill Hazel at anytime.” Godrick adds.

“Heres an idea that you goons haven't said, let rip Alice to shreds, of course we'd need a volunteer. One, Two, Three, Me.” Valeska suggest.

“Alice is stronger than ever. We're fools if we think we stand a chance against her.” Roak reminds her.

“Well there has to be one bloody person that can be immune to her shit.” Valeska flops down on the couch in their house.

“There is... Hazel. She is the only one that can kill Alice.”
