I wake up and feel Luke's head on me. Luke is laying on my stomach and is still asleep. I look at the clock, it's six-thirty. It's Thursday and I have no motivation for school. Luke wakes up and I see him staring at me. "You already awake?" His sleepy voice is so dreamy. I don't think my dad was okay with him sleeping here but I don't care. I nod and move his head off my stomach. He grabs a pillow and sits straight up. I stand up and grab my clothes for the day. His eyes are constantly on me. I lay them on the top of my closet and walk towards the bed. I crawl on the bed and sit on top of Luke. His hands go to my hips and he pulls me closer to him. I press my lips on his and kiss him deeply. My hands' tugs in his hair. He traces a long line of kisses down from my ear to my collarbone. He pulls my shirt over my head leaving me there only wearing a bra and my panties. He looks at my body and bites his lip. "You are so god damn pretty Maddie." I blush when he says that and grab his face and plant a kiss on his lips. Luke turns us around and now he is on top of me. He kisses my belly and I breathe deeply because he has never touched me before like this. He looks into my eyes. He climbs higher so his face is now right in front of my face. I pull at the hem of his shirt and he pulls it over his head. His muscular upper body. His abs are beautiful. I trace his abs and Luke gets goosebumps. I smile. I kiss him and Luke squeezes my tight. His hand is getting closer. I look at the clock and see that it is almost seven. I have to get in my shower. I push Luke off of me and he looks at me with a weird stare. "What's wrong?" Luke asks with a surprised tone. He knows that I think we're ready but he wants to wait. So it's weird that I want to stop right now. "I have to take a shower. Get dressed Luke I don't want my dad to see you like this" I say and smile and take my clothes and get to the bathroom.

I send Alex a text asking her if I have to pick her up. No response. Luke is sitting next to me at the kitchen island. He is eating some pancakes that I made for him. I just have a coffee today. I will buy something in the cafeteria. I grab my keys and walk upstairs to say goodbye to my dad. Luke is already at the front door when I get downstairs. We walk to my car and I step in the driver seat. "Okay, Maddie why did you stop this morning?" Luke finally asks. "I just wasn't feeling it and I had to shower." "The first thing I believe but the last thing I don't" "Then you don't" my tone is playful because I don't want him to think I am mad at him. "Maddie you were so gorgeous, I wanted you. Now you will have to wait for the next time." "Don't care Luke. We have a strong relationship, we can wait." Luke doesn't respond to that but just smiles. I park the car and step out of it.

The classes today were so boring. I can't wait to get home and study the thing Jenny gave to me. I have to know what I am and who that vampire is in Maryville. I quickly drive home and run upstairs. I open my notebook and begin a list. Jenny-werewolf, Ethan-werewolf. I cant and the list because I don't know who is a witch or vampire in this town. I have to find out. I open my history book and read the parts about vampires. They have good hearing and are super fast. They are also super strong. All these things are almost the same as werewolves. Vampires cant walk in the sun, if they do they will burn. They have the ability to mess with people's minds. They call that compulsion. The bite of a vampire will no turn you. In the book, it doesn't say how you turn into a vampire, only that the bite will not turn you. Nothing that I read is going to get me closer to the person because everyone in this town walks in the daylight. The last part I have to read is the witches' part. I think I am some sort of witch so I will have to take a lot of notes in this part.

I turn the page and see all the marked things form Jenny. I don't think that is all the important stuff. That is just the basic thing that I have to know. Witches are the ones who have to take care of the balance of nature. But there are witches who take sides. They side with the vampires and help them. Witches have great powers. The power of a witch is very strong but it also can be limited. If a witch uses to much power at once it can take her life. It is weird to think that something you never believed is something that could kill you. The witches who side with the vampires aren't completely at there sides. they help the vampires but they are the keepers of the balance of nature. They will make stuff for vampires, but they will make something for the normal people as well. The book directs me to another old book that is only about witches. In that book, they will elaborate on the connections between witches and vampires. I write the title of the book down in my notebook. The photo of my dad and the girl falls out of one of the pages and falls on the ground.

When I grab it the girl on the picture looks sad. My dad next to her is still smiling but the girl is looking for help. I remember her name and put the photo back into my notebook. I open my laptop to see if the books that I will need for more research are still available. I want that book about witches and a book about vampires. I also type in Marion Moreau in to see if some books will appear. Some weird book about vague mythical creatures pops up and I look if it is available. All of the books I want are available so that it is, a trip to the library tomorrow. I look if my dad is already home. My dad has to work hard because my mom is on vacation. I walk downstairs and see no car in the driveway. I decide to make dinner for my dad and I. I grab some steak and some carrots and make the steak. I cut the carrots and make a salad from it. I set the table and take a seat.

My dad walls inside. Perfect timing. "Hmmm, Maddie it smells delicious. What did you make?" I hear my dad's voice and it is cheerful. I stand up to hug him and he hugs me back. Why did I hug him? Maybe I felt like it because my mom isn't home and I miss her. Yeah, that's it. "It is some steak with salad. Nothing special but I knew you had to work late again so I made dinner." "Maddie you are a sweetheart."My dad says and sits at the table. We ate quietly because nobody had anything to say. My dad grabs the plates after we finished our dinner and begins to load the dishwasher. I grab the rest of the salad and put it into the fridge. "Maddie you can go upstairs I will finish it here." My dad can be sweet but that's rare. I walk upstairs and take off my clothes and put my pajama's on. I decide to watch the last episode of the series I am watching. I try to get my mind off the thing like witches and that stuff but I can't. It feels like this is going to be a big part of my life. But I don't want that. I just want a normal teenager's life. All the things I am thinking about right now isn't normal. I know it does exist but it was so weird to accept that. Why is it always my life that is getting messed up?
