Chapter 1: Control

Diego.

His name comes to me in my head as if it were said by the angels so much for BFFs. I'm just relieved that Riley didn't have the reaction I had imagined he would. Maybe he isn't that bad, or he just favors Diego for his smarts at staying alive longer than the usual "newbie" he probably thinks he could use him as an alibi in the fight. Well, hopefully we wouldn't be around when that fight came maybe we could escape just like Shelly and Steve.

A deafening roar silences my thoughts I look up to see Riley- trying so desperately not to look in the direction that Diego is in-I take my time to really look at Riley, he has a couple of vampire bites showing on his forearm and couple were it looks as if someone ripped off his finger, Riley's arm also looked like it's been dismembered too. I do a double take, who was possible for such things? Maybe it was her but, what kind of person has a make-out session with you then starts ripping you apart like it was nothing.

Then I scan the whole room for Diego finally giving into the nagging voice in my head that's been telling me something wasn't right. He's sitting in his usual spot on the couch looking indifferent, I gasp when I take him all in, and he's just like Riley but with fewer bites. Did this mean… No they couldn't have fought if they did she probably would've destroyed Diego. Maybe they got ambushed when they were coming back and took care of the vampire themselves. I look back at Riley from the corner of my eye.

He's pissed. Not like usual when he would find out that Raoul and his gang would destroy someone or something equally bad, like them destroying the house too. But this, He's staring down at the ashy remains on the floor, his eyes bulging in fury. Everyone stood silent, immobile. We'd all seen Riley lose his temper, but this was something different. Riley spu-

The burn comes back, I hiss at the aching in my throat just enough to take my attention away from Riley and whatever he's taking his rage out on. I close my eyes and take a deep breath Focus Bree; talking things out did help to keep focus right now I can't think about anything except the burn in my throat and my empty belly.

I open my eyes taking in the damage Riley has done in his fit of rage. The speakers looked to be missing, there was a hole in the wall, and Kevin was re-attaching his whole arm and his right hand. Spider-Man kid is agitated, Sara seems to be also re-attaching an appendage she also had a bald spot on her head. Riley must've done all of this while I was trying to regain the ability to keep a clear head. Now that's probably one of the reasons all he want us to think about is the thirst so we'll just be brainless-

"Enough!" Riley screamed at us. "Listen for once! We are going to be ended if you don't act like you have a brain and think for one second!" Riley screeches.

This was nothing like his usual lectures and pleadings for control. He definitely had everyone's attention. "You need to grow up and be responsible for yourselves. You think we get to live like this for free? All of the blood in Seattle comes for a price. Do you understand?"

Silence. Dead silence was spread across the room in a thick blanket. The expressions on most of their faces were wide-eyed exchanging misbelieved glances. I dart a glance toward Diego but couldn't see his face, as it was turned away from me, well Fred or was it Riley? The burn makes its presence known by aching painfully making my thoughts become souly on thirst. All focus that I'd had is long gone so, I just shut that part of my brain down and hopefully focus on what's going around me, rather than intangible things.

Apparently, Riley made teams with Raoul and Kristie- a disaster waiting to happen-as group leader for the training with their gangs tagging along. Then Riley goes on and starts shouting things like "Unity!" and working together to take out the enemy. He says the enemy is a different kind of vampire, that eyes have "yellowed" with age, that they've been around for hundreds of years, and they come to Settle the only thing is in their is us, and Riley's right about one thing. They won't have to put up much of a fight, or so they think. If I could've rolled my eyes trust me I would have but I'm not that confident to do so in front of Riley.

He describes the different talents of the coven members, the mind reader, future seer, and empathy. That doesn't sound so freighting, that's until Riley says how the mind reader could predict your every move and destroy you without you even knowing what happened, the "fortuneteller" could do the same as for the empathy he could control your emotions weather it's sad, happy, mad, he could certainly use that as an advantage making you pity him or something like that. The burn! I mentally hiss cursing Riley and his ramblings' only if I and Diego left when we could….

I look out of the corner of my eye to where he was left sitting on the couch having stayed in his same position un moving. "Bree?" I freeze as that soft voice calls my name. What could he want? He must've found my scent. I turn around and face the most awful smile that seemed to be forever hardened.

"Riley?"

A/N Dun Dun DAHN! Tell me whatcha think about the ending, reviews! O3o
