"What are you doing here?" I looked at Lorenzo with a puzzled expression.

"It has been a long time Rose. Close to two hundred years, am I right? But what am I saying two hundred years is nothing to you, a mere blink of an eye."  Chuckling  he took a step closer in our direction.

Jeffery growled at him. "Don't take one more step. Who are you? Why are you here?"

Lorenzo growled back at him. "Boy  you don't know who you are talking to. Did your momma never teach you to respect your elders? Rose can you believe this guy? Not knowing who I am. How awesome and amazing I am." By the time he was done talking, I was trying to hold in my laughter. I was not succeeding. After a couple seconds I was full blown laughing.

Poor Jeff was looking at me like I was crazy. Which I was, but that is besides the point. "Enzo you are still conceded as ever. You are not as amazing and awesome as you think you are. Jeffery this is Lorenzo Fallen. Lorenzo this is my best friend Jeffery."

"What no last name?" Enzo asked.

"Nope, because he is awesome like that." Smiling smugly at him. Mainly at the strike towards his ego, that I found funny.

"Um, that is great that that's his name but that doesn't answer who he is, or why he is here. Especially since you just came back. Doesn't that seem at least a little strange?" Jeff completely ignored Enzos out stretched hand, and looked straight at me.

"He has a point Enzo. What are you doing here?" I asked giving him a questioning look.

"Can't  I just come and see an old friend? Without there being a hidden agenda?" He gave me the puppy dog look. But I wasnt buying it.

"From you? Ha you are funny. You tun from danger, you will tell me then you will run. It has been the same way since I have met you."

"You are right. Of course. But this time I am staying. I wanna see how this plays out..." he leaned against a tree and smirked at me.

I growled at him, bearing my fangs at him, letting him know that I am done with the playing around. "Get to the point. Stop messing around. There is a time when it is cute and a time it gets on my last nerve. Guess which time this is?" By now my eyes are blazing red and I have managed to get right in front of him.

He looked about ready to pee his pants. Stuttering he answered me. "He is coming for you. He believes that he will beat you this time. He wants revenge, he has an army with him this time. All your loved ones are in danger. By the time the Wolf moon is high, he will be here. He sent me as a messenger."

"Who's side are you on? Tell me truthfully. I will know if you lie to me." My eyes turned black, I let some of my magic sleep through my words. I was compelling him to tell the truth. I am the only vampire in existence that can do this to another vampire. It makes me both hated and wanted.

"I am on your side Rose. I have always been on your side. You always come out on top. You always win. You are stronger than anyone I know."

"Will you be telling him what i am doing? Are you here to spy on me?" I continued my interrogation.

"That is what he wants me to do. But I am not going to. I only told him I was going to so I could be out of there with my life."
I released his throat, satisfied with his answer. I noticed a red mark on his neck that I kinda felt bad for, but he got off easy compared to what Vlad would have done to him.
"Are you staying with me? Or do you have your own place around here?" Jeff looked at me like I had another head. But I just shook my head, signaling that I'll explain later.

"Would I be bold to stay with you? I could help you with the upcoming fight. Over the last few years I have met some interesting companions, that I think will be of use to us."

"You can stay. The east side guest room is yours. I would not mind the help. But Enzo no forcing anyone, I will not have someone elses blood on my hands. This is my fight, I should have ended this years ago." I walked back towards the mansion not caring if they followed me or not. No innocents better die, I am all about protecting life. No one should die just because of some lunatics.

This is going to be one hell of a school year.....
