Hey! I, like A TON of people, recently read the Night World Series by L.J. Smith. I loved them, and decided to write about them! Please review after reading so I know whether it's good or not!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE NIGHT WORLD SERIES OR CHARACTERS

Summary: The members of Circle Daybreak thought that after the apocalypse, the danger was over. But they were wrong. A new threat is showing its ugly head, and is determined to destroy Circle Daybreak and let evil reign. Is it really revenge? Or is it something entirely different?

A DAUGHTER OUT FOR REVENGE Chapter 1: Meetings and Surprises

Poppy and James entered the enormous white mansion, moving as one person rather than two. Both were clad in black, and stayed in the shadows rather than stepping into the sunlight like any other wise vampire. They hung a sharp left in the main hall and headed up a flight of marble stairs, eventually landing in the Meeting Room after several more turns and stairs.

As the two entered, all heads turned in their direction. There they were, same as always for some, different for others, the members of Circle Daybreak.

Jez, wearing a maroon top and black jeans, looked up sharply with her alert eyes, and then smiled. Her soul mate, Morgede, sat next to her, his dark blue sweater contrasting deeply with his pale skin. He smiled warmly, then continued the conversation he and Jez had been holding.

Ash and Mary- Lynette stood in the back of the room, Mary- Lynette's bright colored blouse, standing out aside from Ash's black clothing. Both smiled, but quickly looked away. Ash looked exhausted, probably from a recent Circle Daybreak mission he had been assigned to.

Keller sat next to Galen in a dark oak chair, alert and ready to literally pounce at danger. She stood up and gave Poppy a huge panther hug. "I've missed you!" she whispered. "Me too!" Poppy excitedly whispered back.

James shook hands with Galen awkwardly, remaining at Poppy's side all the while. He was very protective of her, especially when his cousin, Ash, was around. Who knew the person he might have convinced to harm Poppy this time?

Poppy looked at the empty sofa where Rashel and Quinn would be if they were present. Unfortunately, both were off trying to fend off Blaze Harman, Thea's cousin. Blaze was trying to break Circle Daybreak into pieces by running a small portion of Circle Midnight, a major enemy of the Daybreakers. Thea and her soul mate, Eric, were also in that battle. So, four members would not be present for the meeting.

Then Poppy and James both walked towards Hannah and Thierry. Or, in Poppy's case, ran excitedly. Hannah was her best friend in Circle Daybreak, with Keller at a close second. Poppy and Hannah embraced each other warmly, whispering to each other.

There was, once again, an awkward silence and hand shaking between Thierry and James. You could never be too careful, right?

"Glad to see that you are both here and able to attend the meeting." Thierry said, and then kissed Poppy's hand.

"Wonderful to see than SOME people are apparently still 'on our side'." James said, glancing at Ash. Mary- Lynette immediately glared at him and Poppy. Poppy stepped towards them, snarling, ready to show a piece of her mind. James pulled her arm, restraining her. "Calm down." He whispered in her ear. Still scowling, she turned away.

A look of strong disapproval passed through Thierry's face for a moment, but he quickly resumed a serious and unreadable expression. "I have a surprise for us all today, and this is the main focal point of today's meeting. We have, believe it or not, succeeded in finding a new member for our organization. Please welcome Johanna, a Shape shifter in the form of a red tailed fox!"

Everyone gasped in astonishment as Johanna entered through the Meeting Room's doors, her face incredibly sly looking, and with flowing red hair past her shoulders and forest green eyes. She looked cunning, witty, and beautiful all at once. "I presume I've been formally introduced?" she nodded at Thierry, clearly waiting for an answer, impatiently tapping her foot. "If not, I am Johanna, you're new Circle Daybreak leader."

OK- so there's the story so far. PLEASE review and tell what you think of this! I want to thank 555peacelovejoy555 for all of the incredible ideas and for being a bestie. Thanks Leah!
