2.

Lilly walked into the dark mansion and climbed the stairs quietly, holding her shoes. The mahogany stairs were light on her feet and she could easily creep up them without making lot of noise. She ran towards her bedroom as quickly as she could.

"Lillian. Your late." A man's voice said from behind her. She winced and turned to look at the 20 some looking man who stood there.

"I know. I'm sorry." She said quietly.

"Where were you?" He asked. Lilly shrugged and sighed.

"I went to a concert. Its this carnival thing. I haven't seen anybody live in forever."

"You didn't feed… did you?" She sighed and nodded. The man pushed back his hair and sighed in frustration.

"I'm sorry. I was so hungry. I couldn't help myself."

"You can't do this anymore, Lilly." He said.

"I know. I'm sorry. I am. It won't happen again." She said as she pointed her feet inward.

"That's what you said last time." He said. She sighed.

"I know. I mean it this time, though. Please, Alexander. Just let me go to bed." Alexander nodded and stepped closer to her. He put his hand on her shoulder.

"OK. But next time, Amelia finds out."

"Thank you so much!" He kissed the top of her head and they hugged.

"Good night, little sister." He whispered. She nodded and ran down the hall towards her room. She opened the door and walked inside. The lights were still on and her roommate sat in bed reading.

These girls were two of the nine minors of the coven. There were five girls and four boys among them. They had all been turned at early ages, so they were mostly kept inside the coven for safety. Miley and Lilly were the eldest girls, both 15. The other girls, Melina at 12, Addie was 9 and Charlotte was 8 shared bigger room down the hall. The four boys shared two rooms. Jackson was the oldest of all of the minors at 17. Oliver, who was 15, and him shared room. There were two other boys, Andrew and Samuel who were both 12.

"Late night?" Miley asked. Lilly giggled and nodded. She walked across the hardwood floor and placed her shoes down on the twin sized bed against the wall.

"I guess." Lilly said. She pulled off her dress and put on a t-shirt and a pair of black shorts.

"Spill." Miley said as Lilly sat down on her bed. Lilly smiled devilishly.

"Spill what? I don't know what your talking about." Lilly put her feet under the covers and pulled them to her waist.

"Lilly. Don't even. How was it… you know… out there?" Lilly smiled.

They usually weren't allowed out of the coven with out a elder or a dealer, which made those who turned long ago restless and rebellious. That's what happened to Lilly. Lilly was turned by Alexander centuries ago. She was dying from the black plague and he felt it was the only way to save his sister. With permission of the elders, Alexander turned Lilly, and in some ways saved her life.

"It was… amazing. I haven't been to a concert in… god… decades." She said. Miley lat out a laugh and nodded. "Oh my god. And I met this amazing boy." Lilly stated. Miley raised her eyebrows.

"Met?"

"Well… no. I technically I just kind of used him. But… he was adorable." Lilly said sighing.

"You bit him?" Lilly nodded softly. "Oh my god… how was it?"

"Oh… man. Ever since Viktor banned hunting, I've been dying for it. Trust me. It was well worth the wait. It tasted so fresh… so…ah…" She said smiling, her top two pointed canines showing.

"Lucky. I've never even had a chance to hunt. Is it fun?" Miley was turned mere decades ago, close to 50 years. She was much younger than Lilly was.

"So much. If only the elders weren't such jerks and had to ban it. Its such a adrenaline rush though. Especially with boys. I mostly lure them in, you know… sensual like and such. Kissing, then kisses on the neck then, just bite. it's a great strategy. Most women did it back in the day." Lilly said. Miley sighed.

"Oh…. God your so lucky."

"Trust me, Miles. Its not that great. It starts to suck after the first hundred years or so. (No pun intended)" The two girls let out giggles.

"Yeah. But still."

"Yeah." Lilly shrugged and stood up. She walked over to Miley. "We should go to bed." She glanced at what Miley was reading. A teen magazine with three brown haired boys on the cover. One that looked incredibly familiar to Lilly. She grabbed the magazine and looked to Miley. "Wait… who is this?" She asked pointing to the one in the middle.

"Joe Jonas. He's the lead singer of the Jonas Brothers. They are so amazing." She said. Lilly looked back to it, and froze, dropping the magazine on to the floor. "What's wrong?" Miley asked.

"I…. He was…." She stuttered. "I bit him tonight!" Lilly spat out. Miley's jaw dropped.

"You had better be kidding." Miley said.
