Robert took the girl back to their house while Huey and Riley looked for food. There were people in town who's lives were so miserable, they wanted a vampire or immortal to kill them for food. The boys finally found one when Huey asked Riley, "Did you get the water jugs?" Riley blinked a few times. "Water what?" he asked. Huey smacked himself in the forehead. "Riley, how are we supposed to collect blood from this guy if we have nothing to put it in?" he asked, annoyed that his brother had forgotten the jugs... again. Riley crossed his arms. "Let's just take the nigga home with us. Damn, he gon die, anyway." Huey frowned. "Remember the last time we tried that?" he asked. Riley thought back a few hundred years. "Oh, right..." he groaned. Granddad threw a fit about the mess the boys had made slitting their host's throat. Huey took off the backpack he was wearing and pulled out three large water bottles. "I had a feeling you'd forget. At least, tell me you brought your knife?" he asked. Riley pulled out a large knife. "Now, you know I don't leave home without this!" he exclaimed, examining his knife proudly. "Hurry it up, already!" the hobo they'd found yelled. Huey looked at him and shrugged. "Well, since you asked so nicely..." he said sarcastically.
Later on, Riley and Huey arrived home. "Granddad! We back!" Riley called upstairs. Robert came down the stairs and went into the kitchen. "That little girl's still asleep. I think whoever her parents are have been starvin' her." he said, putting two of the water bottles[ or, blood bottles, now] in the fridge. Riley walked into the living room to start playing his video game... when he saw the girl from earlier had beat him to it. "Hey! What you doin'?" he asked, angrily walking over to her. She passed him the controller. "Gave you a few cheats. You're welcome." she said before moving over to read one of Huey's books. Riley tried the game and saw that she had giving him cheats for the game. "Sweet!" he said, continuing to play.
Huey walked over to her. "What's your name?" he asked. She looked up at him and smiled. "Lizette." she said politely before turning her attention back to the book. "Why you got a white name?" Riley asked. Lizette shrugged. "Where are your parents?" Robert asked. Lizette flinched a little, but Huey was the only one to notice. "I don't know. All I do know is that they don't want me around anymore. So, they gave me up." she said. Robert shook his head. "Well, do you have anywhere to stay? If not, you could stay here." he offered. Lizette looked at him and shrugged. "If you'd let me." she said shyly.
While Robert got the guest room ready for Lizette, she spent some time talking to Riley and Huey. "So, you guys just live forever?" she asked. "Yeah." Riley said. Lizette grinned. "Awesome." she said. Then, she held her forehead. "Ugh... My head hurts." she groaned. "Are you sick?" Huey asked. She shook her head. "Maybe she hungry." Riley suggested. Lizette shrugged. "I haven't eaten in a while." she confessed. "How long is 'a while'?" Huey asked, going into the kitchen. "I don't know, a few... years, maybe?" she guessed. "Years?! How you still alive?" Riley asked. Lizette shrugged. "Miracle." she guessed.
Later on [again], Lizette got something to eat and then went up to the guest room. Huey knocked on the door. "Lizette. My granddad told me to bring you these clothes." he said. The door opened slightly. He raised an eyebrow. "Can I come in?" he asked. Silence. "Yeah..." she said softly. Huey opened the door and looked around. Lizette was sitting on the bed, sharpening her katana. She put the sword down and took the clothes from Huey. Their hands touched for a split second before Lizette pulled away. "T-thank you, Huey..." she stuttered. Huey could've sworn he saw her blush a little. He decided to let it be and left.
While Riley was sleeping, Huey sat at the computer. He pulled up a search engine. "Lizette..." he face-palmed himself. He would have to do this research tomorrow after he asked her what her last name was.
