I woke up groggily and saw Derek leaning over me awkwardly. My eyes opened wide and I moved away. He stood up.

I got changed and took a shower. Derek was already checking out, so I ran downstairs and walked out. He tried to take my hand, and for once I let him. Give him some kind of dignity as people stared at us.

"I'm thirsty," I whined yet again.

"I know! You know what? Fine. We'll get food. How about in the middle of the highway as people stare at us?"

I stared at him…or more like glared. He was getting on my nerves. He grinned, satisfied with my no response.

"Are we there yet?"

Braxton POV

I was sitting on the couch, reading a magazine when I heard them. And in 'them' I mean Jordan and Cameron. In their room. Need I say more?

Raynne was sitting across from me on the love seat. When she heard a scream, her head popped up and she got a weird look on her face. Then she rolled her eyes as understanding crossed her mind. I almost laughed. I guess she was used to this by now.

I was intently reading my magazine when Jordan came down stairs. Her hair was a mess- out of the ordinary for her.

She ran into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle filled with blood. It was like our water.

"Have fun up there?" Raynne asked.

Jordan gave her a glare. Oh, here we go.

"You're just jealous," Jordan replied.

"Of your slutty-ness?" She raised her head challengingly.

"Stoner."

"Whore."

"Go take an acid trip, hippie." She put her hand on her hip.

Raynne smiled. "Don't knock it till you try it."

"Stop girls! I'm trying to get some peace and quiet." Jordan ran back upstairs, no doubt for another round.

Raynne jumped up and walked to her room down the hall. I glanced up at the chandelier above me. I had to get used to how big this house was. My room was down the opposite hall as Raynne's and next to the library. I stopped by there constantly. The books were old, but classics. I enjoyed myself. Raynne was listening to music. She also liked going outside, although she couldn't do it often. She and Jordan went out all the time…making sure there is no one else around.

"Dude, you coming?" Cameron interrupted my thoughts.

"Going where?"

"The fair. There will be games, people, and all over fun-ness. Maybe even some hot chicks." He nudged me.

He's been pulling that one all my years of living.

"Sorry dude. I'm not into human chicks, because then I'd end up like you. And we don't need any new additions to this family."

He smiled sheepishly. "Shut up. Look, you comin or not?"

I thought about it for a second. "Not. I'll pass. You guys have fun."

"Ok, take care of Raynne."

He grabbed Jordan's hand and poofed out the door. Raynne couldn't go out in public quite yet. She wasn't ready. We took her out a couple months ago and had an incident with a little girl at the grocery store. She's the newest of our group, and falls off the wagon most often. She thinks she's okay, but then she smells human blood, and all things change. It's so much more different than animal blood. I cant blame her – I was pretty bad in my early days.

I heard Sonny and Cher blasting form Raynne's radio, so I got a book and lay down, drifting into sleep.
