A/N: This is the real first chapter! Woo! And it's pretty slow going, sorta mysterious introduction background crap, fun, joke-y stuff and ANGST. Yooou know. Anyway, hopefully it's enjoyable :)


Name, Lily Sanders. Age, 26. Current Location, Clark County, Nevada. Companion(s), Quinn. Existing House Members (including self), 1. Target, Mediterranean vampire. Objective, intercept target and exterminate.

She didn't understand why she still filled out the paper work. It wasn't something she ever liked doing. Her mother had always insisted on writing everything down. She liked to keep records. She was always aware and liked going by procedure...

Lily looked up from the records notebook, the thing was ancient, pages thick like parchment, the original color faded decades ago, rips, ink splatters, smudges, it had been rebounded at least 30 times, but she still kept it, it was all she really had left of them.
Across the street, the house's 'SOLD' sign had finally gone down, yet the owner of the home had yet to be seen. She knew why, the other neighbours had their sound assumptions, but she knew the real reason.
She flipped the notebook to the last page, her target's profile pasted there. Every twenty years the drawing changed, since there was no way to capture the demon on film they had to rely on their memory and sketch. A new drawing would be put over the old one, the current drawing was from 1950. Notes were written, scratched out and written over again, theories and facts.
Current facts and theories:
Gerald 'Jerry' Dandridge. 4? years old. Originated, Mediterranean, pure blood. Tribal by nature. Advantages, night, darkness, his domain. Disadvantages, sunlight, holy water, stakes...

Lily grimaced at the old blood spots staining the pages, memories she forced herself to forget pushed into her mind.

"Hello Lily!"
She jumped slightly, the images in front of her eyes replaced with the familiar figure of Jane Brewster from across the street.
Jane had been the first person to greet Lily upon arrival to the neighbourhood.

"You've gotta be kidding. The desert? You're gonna fry, flower."
"Shut up," Lily rolled her eyes and shoved a box into her companion's hands, "and help me unpack."
"You're so pale," he put an arm up to shield his eyes, "such a bright glare, I think I'm blind!"
"Quinn!" Lily laughed, "quit it!" she shoved him lightly.
"Hi there!" a voice interrupted their banter, they straightened up and faced the person, to their relief it was just a middle aged blonde woman.
"Hello." Quinn said, adjusting the box to one arm and waving to the woman.
She crossed the street and stuck her hand out to Lily.
"Hi, I'm Jane Brewster, your new neighbour."
"Lily Sanders and this is Quinn Wolfe." Lily shook the woman's hand gently and smiled politely.
"Nice to meet you. It's great to a see young happy couple around here. Mostly just familes on the verge of divorce and people who work on the strip." Jane smiled.
"Oh!" Lily bursted instantly, eyes wide, "We're not a couple," she waved her hand between heselfr and Quinn, Quinn who had an amused look on his face, "We're just friends, known each other since birth, he's more like a brother, actually." Lily cleared her throat awkwardly.
"Oh! Sorry, I only assumed that, since, well-"
"Yeah," Quinn cut the woman off, "we get that alot."
Lily rolled her eyes at his comment, "So is it just you over there?" she changed the subject quickly.
"Oh no, it's me and my son, Charley. He's a senior, recently got a girlfriend." Jane said and rolled her eyes.
Lily nodded with a grin, "Ah, teenage hormones, gotta love that stage."
Jane chuckled, "Well, I'm about to head out to work, but I saw you two out here and thought I'd say hello, and to tell you if you ever need anything don't hesisitate to ask."
"Absolutely, thank you, Ms. Brewster." Quinn smiled as the woman started to the cross the street with a wave goodbye.
Lily went back to the bed of the truck, a small grimace on her face as she grabbed a box, "I'm surprised you even let her speak after the word 'couple'." Quinn nudged her with his elbow as they made their way inside the house, their new house.
"Shut. Your. Trap. Wolf."
Quinn just chuckled at the awkward girl.

"Hello, Jane." she called back, setting her notebook down. Her dog walked close to her, as tame as can be, panting only slightly when venturing out from the shade into the blazing Nevada sun.
Lily and the dog stopped just two feet from Jane who stood beside her minivan.
"I swear," Jane chuckled, "I will never get over how huge that dog is."
Lily smiled and looked down at him, patting his massive head gently, "Yeah, good thing he's so friendly."
Jane reached out a cautious hand and petted the giant animals head, when he didn't take her hand off with a single chomp she scratched behind his ear.
"He's gorgeous." Jane smirked.
"Ooh, don't inflate his ego." Lily said, though she was serious Jane took it as a joke, laughing loudly. Lily glanced at the dog and gave him a slight glare.
"Well," Jane spoke after her laughter subsided, "I'm gonna be working late tonight, I told Charley if he needs anything to come to you."
Lily nodded, "That's fine. Though I doubt he'll need me when Amy shows up."
"Oh yeah." Jane sighed with a joking roll of her eyes.
"I'll see you two later, tell Quinn I said hi."
"Will do, have a nice day." Lily said, walking backwards across the street as she waved to Jane.
"Don't even start." Lily mummbled as she opened the front door, ushering the dog in before her. Shutting the door and leaning her back against it she closed her eyes, waiting for the ego trip to begin.
"Jane thinks I'm gorgeous." Quinn boasted.
Lily sighed and walked past him, "Everyone thinks your gorgeous, every town we've ever been in there's someone who has told you were gorgeous...in both forms."
"Jealous." Quinn said smuggly.
"No I'm not. I'm pretty..." even as she said it her voice failed her, "enough." she mummbled and picked up an empty box from the living room and started for the garage.
"Lily, you don't have to do this forever." Quinn followed her, "You could stop and actually meet someone. Hell! Even go on a date, kiss, hold hands. You could do all that if you just stop this. Be normal."
"No, I can't." Lily tossed the box into the garage and spun around to meet Quinn's serious gaze, "This is all I have left. This is all I know. "
"Lily." he reached out to console her.
"Please," she put her hands up, "Just...don't. Not right now." she moved quickly through the house, grabbing the truck keys she zoomed back into the garage and was gone in the flash.

Quinn watched her as she left. Shaking his head he saw so many of her family members shining out from her.
Her mother's small, lean form, her father's eyes and sense of humour. Her great grandmother's red hair, and her grandfather's attitude and determination.
People he'd known for a very long time, and people she'd never truly known.
All she knew of them was stories from Quinn. Sometimes she loved the stories, other times she'd do what she just did, run off.
There was hatred and sadness in her eyes when she glared at him, angry that she spent so little time with her family and he...he knew them their entire lives.
She would always bounce back of course, cherishing his presence, his help, his friendship.

But it was times like these, where she would run off, run off without him that he wished she would stop the family 'purpose' and just be normal.

Lily returned an hour before sun set, two pizza boxes in hand as she walked up to the front door.
Knocking on it she looked around the neighbourhood. Children were being ushered into their homes, adults were arriving home, and some just leaving for work. Across the street she saw Amy's car parked out front.
She chewed on her lip, considering checking up on them. On the one hand they could just be watching a movie, no big deal, or the could be doing something very...intimate. Either way she was going to check on them, she worried about their safety, they lived right next door to a monster. Sex or not, she'd live through the embarrassment.
"Umm, hello. Pizza girl? Gonna stand on the porch all night?" Quinn joked, but his nostrils flared for a moment, his eyes searching protectively.
Lily turned and put on a smile, "I'm sorry food?" she raised the pizza up in offering.
"Hmm." Quinn fake pondered, "Apology accepted, get in here."

"Ooh man..." Lily groaned from the couch, hand on her stomach.
"I can't believe you ate 5 pieces." Quinn laughed, his mouth full of his 10th piece.
"Yeah, bad idea." Lily winced as she sat up on the couch and prepared herself to stand up.
"Don't hurt yourself." Quinn laughed even harder than before.
"Don't choke." Lily mocked with a glare and propelled herself off of the couch, stumbling slightly as she headed for the front door.
"I'm gonna check on Charley and Amy."
"Uh huh." Quinn mummbled.
The street lamps were on, the sun was gone, and Lily felt her skin prickle with excitement, this was the time.
She crossed the street and looked to the Brewster's neighbouring house. She noticed the windows were painted black, besides that it seemed abandoned.
Her senses kicked into overdrive, goosebumps appearing on her arms, the hair on the back of her neck standing on end, it was a common learned reaction when someone had eyes on her. She tore her gaze away from the home and went to the front door of Charely's, knocking three times she waited for moment before calling out, "Mr. Brewster, we've got a report about theft from your neighbour."
"Theft?" Lily heard Charley's voice from the other side of the door, she grinned at his quick footsteps heading for the door.
He swung the door open, eyes wide and worried, until he saw Lily leaning against the door frame.
He sighed and smirked, "What did I steal?"
"My heart." she gave a big cheesy smile.
Charley laughed and rolled his eyes, stepping aside he let Lily walk in.
In the living room an action flick was on the tv, Amy was lounging on the couch, taking up where normally three people could sit with her entire body.
"Hey Amy." Lily passed by ruffling the younger girls perfect blonde hair before sitting down in loveseat.
"Hey." Amy mummbled back, her eyes still on the screen.
"You should tell your boyfriend to quit leading me on, the heart break is killing me." Lily said, winking at Charley.
He rolled his eyes before moving Amy's legs to sit down.
"You could get any guy." Charley said.
"Any." Amy repeated, Lily scoffed.
"Why don't you and Quinn go out. He's cute."
"Ew. Amy, the guy is like my brother. Why don't you go out with someone like your sibling and see how that goes."
Amy laughed, "Just a thought."
"Yeah, well quit thinking that way." Lily joked.
The two teenagers laughed.
"Well, I just came over to check on you two. Make sure everything's okay." Lily stood up, "Oh, do you have any ice cream. I just annhilated 5 pieces of pizza so I might as well go for the gold." she went into the kitchen.
"I think we have some chocolate or rocky road." Charley called over the couch to her.
"Yes." Lily hissed happily, pulling the carton out the freezer she left the kitchen and passed the kids on the couch, "I'll pay you back, I promise. I'll go to the store tomorrow." she patted Charley's head and waved to Amy.
"Byyye." she lingered at the door until she got two 'bye's back and started across the street.
She was still being watched when she left the Brewster's, eyes burning into her skin until she entered her home.
She sighed in relief when the door shut behind her, she locked it for good measure before heading into the kitchen.
Quinn was still working on the second pizza, but he knew something was up, he stopped in mid chew and looked at Lily.
"He's there. He's definitely there." she stated, grabbing a spoon from the drawer and digging into the ice cream.
