UNDERCOVER

CHAPTER 1

I am Kendra ; I'm 22 years old and I attend collage. Granted it is summer so there's no school until fall. I am a member of the Fellowship
of the Sun. As you might know, we hate vampires. They are evil and deserve to die. One day, we will rid this world of those evil creatures.
It was 10a.m. and I was sitting in church listening to Rev. Steve Newlin preach about God and how evil vampires are. His wife, Sarah was sitting next to me. They took me in a few years ago after my parents died. My mother, Cindy, and my father, David, were very good friends with the reverend and his wife. Still listening to the reverend, I am thinking back to the night two years ago when I can home around 11p.m. from a date. Reverend Steve and Sarah were sitting in the living room waiting for me to get home. As soon as I saw them there I remember asking, "Where are my parents"?
Sarah had gotten up, taken me by the hand and had me sit with her on the cough. She had been crying. Reverend Steve said, "We came over to visit for dinner and we all took a walk after dinner. While we were walking something happened."
I was getting scared and demanded to know where my parents were. He said "While we were walking, a tall blonde vampire came out of nowhere and attacked Cindy".
I started crying. Sarah put her arms around me and hugged me. He than went on saying, "David tried to get the vampire away from Cindy, but the vampire grabbed him by the neck and broke his neck."
I was in tears beyond belief. Rev. Steve said, "I took out my silver cross and ran at the vampire. The vampire saw it and took off. I ran to Cindy to check on her and she was bleeding all over the place. I am sorry but she didn't make it."
I clung to Sarah and cried. Rev. Steve said, "We will help you make plans for the funeral, but since they died so badly, that a closed casket would be best."
The funeral was a closed casket and I could barely get through it. Reverend Steve and Sarah offered for me to live with them after the funeral was over. I accepted. The memory is still fresh in my mind. I am so glad to have Reverend Steve and Sarah in my life.
Suddenly my brain came back to reality. I looked over at Sarah and she must have noticed that I was upset. She squeezed my hand and smiled at me. After the service was over, we mingled with the other members. I gave Steve a hug and said, "Your service was the best as always."
He smiled and hugged me back. He said, "I think it is time that we have a talk."
I looked at him and replied, "What about?
He replied by telling me that there was going to be a gathering. "A few of us will be at the church today at 3p.m. We've got matters to discuss."
We went home and ate lunch. I asked, "What are we going to be discussing today Steve?"
He replied, "You will find out at the meeting. All I can say is that it is something that you will want to know." I looked at him with a confused look, then continued to eat.

The three of us arrived at the church about 2:30p.m. Reverend Steve wanted to set up the chairs in a circle for the meeting. People starting gathering about ten minutes before 3pm. It was time to start. The last person arrived right at 3pm. There were ten people including the three of us. Most of the people that were here for the meeting have been members of the F.O.T.S. since it started. There were a few that have been here for less than a year. One of the ones that has been here less than a year, used to be a witch. Her name was Kelly. She was 22 years old, 5'6" and looked about 130lbs. She has long brown hair and brown eyes. She was pretty for the most part. She still lived at home with her parents. They were also members of the F.O.T.S. Reverend Steve welcomed all that came. He than turned to me and said, "We are gathered here today to help you out. You are old enough now to know what vampire has killed your parents."
I looked at him with shock. He continued, "We did not tell you, because we wanted to protect you and make sure you did not go off and try to kill him yourself."
I started crying. Sarah was sitting next to me. She scooted her chair next to mine and held my hand. I started getting mad. I looked at him with tears in my eyes. I said, "How could you keep this from me. They were my parents."
He came over to me and knelt. He looked me in the eye and replied. "We love you and were worried that you would have taken matters into your own hands. We did not want you to get yourself killed."
I said, "Why are you telling me this now and if front of all these people."
I looked at everyone that was sitting around the circle. They all had sympathetic look in their eyes. I looked back at Steve with tears in my eyes still. He handed me his handkerchief. I wipe my eyes and blow my nose. Sarah erases her arms around me and held me. Steve stands stood up and turned to the members. He says, "These members are here to help you with that evil creature."
He turned back to me and said, "We all are here to help you get that evil creature."
I was still somewhat crying but mad. I asked, "I want to know what evil creature killed my parents!"
Steve knelt again and took my hands. He looked into my eyes and said, "His name is Eric Northman. He owns a bar called Fangtasia in Shreveport."
I stood up and said, "Let's go set that devil place on fire tonight!"
Steve stood up and put his hand on my shoulder and replied. "No, we will not do that Kendra."
I glared at him and said, "Why the hell not, he killed my parents and I want that evil bastard dead!"
Steve replied, "Yes we will kill him, but not tonight. I have a better idea. I want to send one of you ladies to work undercover as a fangbanger/waitress."
He said the last part with disgust. I right away volunteered to do it. Steve looked at me and said, "No, I am not going to send you in when you are so bent on killing him right away. We need to gain their trust and get that vampire alone."
Kelly offered since she used to be part of that life. "I know more about these things than the rest of you."

I said, "No, please Steve let me do this. I need to do this for my parents."
I looked at him with pleading eyes. Steve sat down and thought for a bit. He looked at Kelly and said, "Yes you are right, you do more about those things than we do." I felt defeated. He went onto saying, "I think it is best that we go with Kendra. They might recognize you Kelly and we can't have this plan backfire on us. "
I shot my head up and looked shocked. Steve looked at me and said, "You have to promise me that you will follow my orders to the T and no going off and doing something stupid. This plan has to work."
Kelly looked mad. Steve turned to her and said, "We will need you for the plan to work."
I asked, "What is your plan Steve?"
He stood back up and turned to me. He said, "Kendra, you will be working as one of their waitresses to gain their trust and I know this is going to be hard for you, but you will need to do whatever you can to get close to that vampire Eric and really gain his trust. We want to get him alone so we can capture him and have him meet the sun."
He smiled at that and turned to Kelly. "Since those evil creatures can smell a lie, I want you to cast a protection spell on Kendra so they can't read her thoughts or anything."
Kelly shook her head no and said, "Reverend, I am not a witch anymore and I don't feel comfortable doing that. I am for the Lord. That part of me is dead."
The reverend walked over to her and said, "You are doing this for the Lord. He hates those creatures and he would be pleased if you would do this favor for us. Remember Kelly, we are doing this to rid this world of the evil."
Kelly thought for a few minutes and said, "OK, I will do this, just this one time. I think it would be best to do a few protection spells for this. I will do one on her, but I will also do one on an object that she needs to have with her at all times when she is around them. It will double the protection and make sure that they can't read her."
The Reverend looked pleased. He said, "I am glad to hear that. I will let Kendra and you work out the details for that."
Steve turned to me and said, "For this plan to work, you are going to have to move into your own place. We can't have then find out that you have any connection with the F.O.T.S. and us. That includes all of your background with us, will be destroyed."
I looked shocked and replied. "Where am I going to get a place on such short notice."
Steve replied, "We have been looking and found a two bedroom house in Shreveport that we think would be good."
I looked at him and said, "A two bedroom house. Why would I need a two bedroom house?"
Steve replied, "I want Kelly and you to be living together. We are going to need her near you in case the spell wears off or however that works."

He turns to Kelly and says, "You however will need to stay out of sight from any vampires or sups. We don't want to risk the plan. Your background with us will also be destroyed."
Kelly replied, "I will do anything I can to help you and the F.O.T.S. You guys have been so good to me since I have joined."
Steve smiled at her and turned back to me and said, "I will be giving you the money for the house, food, and other things so you can get started. After today, things with us will be as discreet as possible. I do want to hear how things are going and such, but I will be the one contacting you. When I feel the time is right, then we will go in for the capture. You will in no way, try to contact us. It is too dangerous. If you are in danger, either call or texts Kelly the code phrase. "call my mom for me.' That way, she can get a hold of us ASAP and we can send some kind of help for you."
He looked at both of us and said, "Do either of you have any questions before I end this meeting?"
I asked, "How are you going to contact me when you want to know things?"
Steve replied, "I will be giving you both a few pre-paid cell phones so no one can trace them. I will call you both on them. You are to leave that at home at all times. I don't want the vampires to find it."
I said, "OK, that works. I can't wait to bring that monster down. He will pay for killing my parents."
