The crashing sound came loud and almost like a gunshot right in my ears.

I flung from the bed moving my eyes around the room before I watched as the man knelt, perched on my windowsill, a sinister smile provoking his insidious thoughts.

As his smile widened, baring his blooded fangs, I turned to Michael. He's gone. Shit! Didn't I tell that idiot to stay?!

Looking around frantically, I jumped out of the bed and grabbed the first thing I could...my laptop.

"Get out!" I shouted.

The man slowly stepped inside, his eyes a more neon green than Michaels, his eyes so similar yet so different.

"Lucious." I said under my breath.

He eyed me "I must admit, I was astonished at how well the spell was put up and how quick too." He gestured around the room and I eyed him confused. Is he talking about the spell to guard the castle?

I watched him eye the laptop "I heard you where a fighter. You even managed to kill one of my favorites and then steal your friend right from under my nose." He smirked.

Keeping my composure, I nodded "Well your tactics suck." I stated watching his eyes flicker in amusement "Where's Michael? I smell him, but I don't see him." He said eyeing the room.

Looking to the door, I dropped my gaze and stared up at him "He left." I cleared my throat and watched Lucious grin.

"He's just like his father you know. Picks his woman up, fills their minds with dreams and sweet flowers, then impregnates them and leaves them." He smirked.

Michael has kids?

I eyed Lucious "Michaels a father?" I asked.

He laughed "No you stupid girl, he will be. You're just his first conquest, then he'll move on. Quick. I know from personal travesties." He gave me a wink.

Oh god.

"What you need is a damn castration." I said annoyed and disgusted.

Lucious eyed me "I like you Anne. You've got some fight. This will be highly interesting when I return. Tell your head mistress-"

As if at perfect timing, the door opened and Jolene stood with Thomas at the door stepping inside and shutting it behind them.

Jolene looked infuriated, Thomas seemed unfazed. Guess he thought the witch sucked.

"If you have anything to say, you say it to my face Lucious." She stated getting real close to him.

He eyed her in disgust "Kilana truly was the rose in a field of manure." I watched his eyes move to me "Surprisingly, she gave birth to a darling so much more beautiful than a rose."

His smile was soft this time, but then he looked to Jolene and got in her face "I'll be back, And when I do I will burn this castle to the ground. I'll take my son, Anne and maybe a few future Vamphores." He began walking to the window "Just make sure when I do, that you and your castle are ready. You know how I enjoy a good fight." He winked over at me, his eyes seductively running down and up my body before he leaped out the window.

I placed the laptop down and looked to Aunt Jolene who sighed "I despise that man." She said furious.

Thomas hurried to the window looking around "Anne you can't stay in here any longer. You'll be moved to a different dorm." He said eyeing the broken window.

Running my hand through my hair, I groaned "Cant I just go kill the guy?" I asked.

Jolene laughed "There's only one person in this entire world with enough power and chance to do that." She said eyeing my bed, "and he was here not too long ago."

I looked to the bed, and up at Thomas who was furrowing his brows at the floor "We should move her to the professors dormitory." He said eyeing Jolene.

She bit her lip in thought, "No, not there. Students would begin to wonder. I don't want anyone panicking yet." She said watching my face.

As she turned on her heel, she looked back at me and then the door "Bronx." She said calmly, nodding.

Thomas eyed her, "Bronx?" He seemed confused.

She smiled "Yes."

He shook his head "Anne's not sleeping in a room with a man." He said crossing his arms over his chest.

Jolene cocked an eyebrow "You should know those two would never sleep together, or perv on one another. Bronx and her are practically siblings. He is the best guard I can think of." She said.

Thomas sighed "Anne? How do you feel about it?" He asked me looking to my window.

What else can I do? I'm definitely not staying here. Alone.

"I don't mind, ill feel a lot safer." I said tucking my hair behind my ear.

Jolene nodded "Alrighty then, let me go grab you some boxes and we'll start packing." She said heading out the door and telling Thomas to stay.

He nervously looked around and then sighed "You didnt-you two never..." He gestured to the bed and I eyed it.

Laughing I shook my head "Michael and I have not had sex. I've actually been sex free since...well for two years." I said nodding and sighing.

Thomas looked like he didn't want to hear that but then moved to my tv going to dismantle it.

"So you and Jolene...?" I asked.

He unscrewed the back and lifted it off the mount "Yeah, if we didn't though she wouldn't have heard you say his name." He said placing the tv onto my bed.

I eyed the tv "You love her don't you? My aunt." I stated running my hand over the collected dust on the back.

Thomas sighed "Yes I do. Very much." He nodded.

"So who are you to me?" I asked looking up at him "You're obviously someone important to Jolene, she's my aunt, and so you must be someone important to me." I said nodding.

His eyes glued to my face, mouth slowly open "I uh-I'm Jeffery's older brother." He said placing the screws down and unscrewing the mount from the wall.

Jeff like my dad Jeff? Well Lily's dad...

"Interesting so in a way you're my uncle." I smiled.

He stopped and looked over at me pausing "Yeah. Something like that." He said pulling the mount from the wall and putting it on the bed.

The door opened and Jolene walked in with a small smile on her face and twelve big boxes within each other.

I took a box and began emptying my drawers into them while the two of them whispered to each other while they put my books in a box.

It took us about half an hour to pack everything and since it was almost one in the morning, I had to be very quiet in the hall.

Jolene handed me the key to Bronx's room and I unlocked it going inside.

Bronx opened his eyes and looked to me "Did someone die again?" He asked sitting up and rubbing sleep from his face.

Thomas walked in and placed my box by the empty bed. "Anne's your new room mate, get any ideas and I'll show you where I hide the dead guards." He threatened.

I sheepishly walked in and smiled at him "I'm sorry." I watched him smile at me "You kidding me? I'm the first guy to get a girl room mate. You ever have girls over for sleepovers?" He smirked.

Rolling my eyes, I laughed and he got up helping me move my things into his dorm "Oh two TVs now!" Bronx nodded beginning to drill the tv mount into the wall across his.

I finished bringing my things in and after Jolene and Thomas left, Bronx went back to sleep while I unpacked.

This was going to be weird to explain in the morning.
