"You're lying!" Klaus exclaimed before smacking Zavier hard with a book for the fifth time.

Yes, a book.

"Owww... How did you even know?" Zavier said, rubbing his now red cheek.

"Well, you were fidgeting," I said, pulling out a chair and straddling it.

"Okay okay I'll try not to," Zavier sighed and his hand dropped from his cheek.

"How old are you?" Silas tested.

"17," Zavier said, eyes challenging Silas.

"Lying!" Klaus exclaimed once again and hit him with the book.

"What did I do now?"

"You were too confident," Chase said, looking at me instead of Zavier.

I raised an eyebrow curiously at Chase and his gaze quickly dropped.

"What's your name?" Silas asked again.

"Xander Williams."

"Lyi-" "No Klaus, he's doing it right now," I said, raising a hand to stop him.

Klaus whined," And I was having fun smacking him with a book. You just had to be a wet blanket."

I rolled my eyes and ignored him.

"Class over, bye student," I waved my hand in the air in a gesture to shoo Zavier away.

"Thank you, masters," Zavier bowed, voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Be appreciative!" Klaus shouted angrily," I wasted my strength to smack you with the book okay!"

Then, the whole library erupted into laughter as everyone walked out of it.

"Hey Alexa?" I called out as I saw her walking towards the door.

"Yeah?" She turned around, raising an eyebrow at me.

"Do you have any spells that can like- erm- change my look so no one would recognize me?"

"Yeah I do," She smiled," But I haven't practice it for a long time. Give me a few days please."

"Sure, thanks," I returned her the smile.

"Score!" Silas exclaimed as he threw a French fry into Klaus's mouth.

"You missed," Chase stated before biting into his burger as the French fry dropped onto the ground.

"Fail," I chuckled as I slurped on my milkshake.

"Come on, it's really hard."

"Really hard? Give me one."

Silas threw Chase a piece of fry," I would like to see you try."

Chase closed an eye and was about to shoot when a female voice said," Hey."

All of us glanced up immediately to see Sonia looking down at us.

To say that we were surprised was an understatement.

"What are you doing here in a deserted fast food restaurant during dinner time, baby sis?" Chase put down the fry back on Silas's plate and raised an eyebrow at Sonia.

"Holy shit," I heard Zavier whisper beside me. I knew I was the only one who can hear him, since I was beside him and I could barely hear it.

"To apologize," She said, turning her gaze to me.

"For what?"

"For being a bitch. I trust you now, since both my brothers trust you so much and Chase is like a love sick puppy when it comes to you."

"Hey! I'm not! And it's insulting that you call me a pup!" Chase exclaimed angrily but I could see that he was embarrassed by Sonia's statement.

I chuckled," It's okay. I have trust issues sometimes too, I understand."

"So, friends?" Sonia smiled and stuck out her hand. I heard Zavier take in a sharp breath and I suspected something.

"Friends." I returned the smile and shook her hand, followed by patting the empty seat beside me as a gesture for her to sit there.

-Next morning-

"Are you sure you want to go today?" Silas asked as the six of us walked through the woods.

"Yes," I nodded confidently.

"Okay then, as you wish," Chase smiled.

"Zavier and Silas will follow me and enter by the main gate. You three," Sonia pointed at Klaus, Chase and I," Will enter by the rubbish chute."

All of us nodded in agreement.

"Okay then, see ya later alligators," Sonia saluted to us and three of them jogged towards the main gate of the Vampire Coven.

"Ready to see our parents?" I smiled at Klaus.

He returned the smile," Ready or not, we'll still going to see them anyways."
