We all waited on the beach, keeping an eye out for the limousine.  

"I hope you know that you're paying," Robin said, for the fifth time.  

I rolled my eyes. "I told you. We won't need to pay. They're letting us borrow the car." He opened his mouth to answer, but before he could, the limousine pulled up. The chauffeur stepped out of the limo, and walked towards me.  

"Are you Krys?" He asked, looking me up and down.  

"I am," I replied coolly.  

The man nodded. "Well, my name is George. I will be your driver tonight, so I hope I don't disappoint," he chuckled.  

I smiled. "I highly doubt that will be possible." The man chuckled again, then walked over and opened the door, motioning for us to get in. I let the others go first, then before I got in, I smiled at the chauffeur. "Thanks for this, we owe you one," I said, compelling him. "And don't tell anyone about anything you hear or see." His eyes dilated a bit, before he nodded. I smiled, climbing in and sitting next to Robin. "You're gonna think I'm crazy," I started, "but I have a plan to get Charlie to surrender."  

"And your plan is...?" Cyborg asked.  

I grinned. "Charlie is completely terrified of me. Or least he should be... But I could stalk him all night. He'll think he's going crazy, and then he'll go to prison willingly," I smirked.  

"What did you do to him?" Beastboy asked.  

I shrugged. "He asked me dance, and after a while he offered to walk me home. After we were far enough away from people, I drank and left him for dead," I explained, my eyes glazing over. "But I guess he survived, and is now a crazy maniac."  

"No killing," Robin said sternly, then looked back up at the chauffeur, panicked.  

I rolled my eyes. "Relax, he's not going to tell anyone about anything he sees or hears. Right, George?" I said, smiling at the man.  

"Correct, Miss Krys," he smiled back.  

"And how do you know he won't say anything?" Robin asked, looking annoyed.  

"Because," I said, exasperated, "I compelled him. And unless he's been drinking vervain, or is wearing any, he's completely under my control."  

"So the vervain stuff is real?" Raven asked. "What else is true?"  

I laughed. "You're a fan of The Vampire Diaries?" I asked. She nodded, smiling. "Well, the vervain thing is true. So is the wooden stake, and sunlight thing," I explained. "But things like garlic, and a werewolf's bite is fake."  

She and Beastboys eyes bulged. "What do you mean a werewolf's bite isn't poisonous?!" They exclaimed. I chuckled.  

"We had to add some lies to the mix. We can't just go around spilling all our secrets."  

"But there are such thing as werewolves?" Raven asked. I nodded.  

"One of my best friends is a werewolf. So is my ex."  

"You dated a dog?" Robin snickered.  

I glared. "Yes, I did. Do you have a problem with that?"  

"No, no," he said, looking out the window. "It's none of my business what kind of animals you dated."  

"I'll have you know, Cape Boy, that when we met, I was in a sticky situation, and he helped me out of it. And when he offered my family and I a safe life, I couldn't help but think he was sweet. So of course I would date him," I huffed. "It's better than dating a human, who can't defend themselves."
