~*~What I've Done~*~

I don't remember what happened after that. All I remember was following Brent into the elevator with Pete. Then it all just goes black. When I woke up, I was in a small room, laying on a black leather couch. The tan paint on the walls were chipped, and the lights dangling above me were dim. The floor was a bit dusty and the two doors were medieval like. They were wooden and had a board or plank that would go over and lock it. Pete was asleep on a chair next to me, and his head was resting on the wall. The door opened and Dominic came in and smiled.

"Did you enjoy your nap?"he asked

"What happened?"I asked

"You fell asleep." He replied.

"Did I miss anything?" I asked

"Not really." He said "But the reception is in about an hour. Brent wanted me to check and see if you woke up. You okay though?"

"I feel weird."I said "And I have this wicked headache. I feel a little tired too actually."

"You won't miss it after a while."Said Dominic said

"What?" I said, confused.

"What, what?" asked Dominic

"What did you mean by 'you won't miss it'?" I asked

"I already said too much." He said "Look, we'll talk after the reception."

"Dom, wait."I said, as he was leaving.

"We'll talk later." He said

"What did you mean by it!?"I asked

"It was a damn joke!" said Dom. "It's a little joke we have here, now calm down! We'll talk later."

Before I can say anything else, Dom left and Pete finally woke up.

"The induction ceremony is over already?" asked Pete

"I don't know."I said, unsure.

~*~What I've Done~*~

Thirty minutes passed and Pete and I were hanging out with other OSSN members. Brent, Dominic, Rita, Page and a local cheesy band that sponsors the OSSN. People were rocking out to the band, Moonlight Confessionals. They were playing some of their most popular works. "Sunken Love", "Moonlight" , "Dances With Demons" , "Johnny Briggs" and "Night Of The Wolves" just to name a people were staring at me and Pete. It was kind of creepy. Dominic and Brent were too. Page was with Pete, and Dominic was with me. But, seriously what's with the staring? Did I have something stuck in my teeth? Brent was looking too. And he was just smiling at me and Pete in the creepiest way. What the hell was going on here?

"Something's weird about these people." I told Pete

"Like what? Asked Pete

"They're staring at us." I said "And it's starting to seriously creep me out."

"They're just overly friendly." He suggested "Stop jumping to conclusions."

"Don't you think it's the least bit creepy?"I asked

"No, why?" asked Pete

"First, we wake up in a weird room."I started "Then Dom said something weird to me. And now they are staring at us. Something is wrong here!"

"Okay, and what did Dom say?" asked Pete

"He said something about not missing sleep."I said" Something 's not right."

"Stop overacting." Said Pete

Brent somehow was sitting across from us, and drinking some water.

"Is there something wrong?" he asked

"Oh, Hayley is just a little paranoid today." Said Pete

"I'm not paranoid!" I said

"Then what's wrong?" asked Brent "Maybe I can help."

"What is up with this place?"I asked

"I don't know what you mean." Said Brent

"What did Dominic mean by 'you don't miss it after a while'?" I asked

"Oh Dom," Said Brent "What a joker! He's just kidding. It's an inside joke we have here."

"See Hay, I told you there was nothing to worry about." Said Pete

"Well, let's get this kicked into high gear." Said Brent , looking at his watch.

~*~ What I've Done~*~

I don't remember the rest of the night. All I remember was more music and food. Then, everything else is just so fuzzy to me. Brent never did take his eye off me that night. He grinned with joy for the most part. It was creepy. I KNEW something was wrong here! Pete went along with everything, like it was normal. We were officially members that night. But we weren't informed about my worst fears until the later. It all started the night of the reception. Pete and I were wiped out when we got home at about midnight. My folks were already asleep so Pete and I had to be quiet. The insomnia I had for days was strangely gone. I kicked my sneakers off and hit the sack. I was out like a light and I entered the dream world realm. It was weird. Everything was surreal, foggy and a little blurry. It looked like those dream sequences in the movies. I'm walking down a sidewalk, along an old road that seems to go on forever. I'm in a town that is dead and quiet. The sky was gray and cloudy, as if the sun was hiding from me. The air around me as cold and I felt chills rush up my spine. But I'm not alone. There are people around me. But they aren't talking. They pass by each other, and not caring. Their faces are warped and their eyes are blood red. It was if they were ghosts or phantoms. The buildings around me were mostly brick and almost all of them we're torn down. The ones that we're were covered in graffiti. There were no cars in this town. With the exception of an old blue and silver bus that dropped off and picked up the dead. It was creepy. On my walk, I was possessed by this deep urge. A hunger for blood . I couldn't fight the hunger I had. I seen someone walk past me. The person looked nothing like the others. This person was full of life and seemed worth it. The person was wearing a blue gray zip up hoodie , gray jeans and black sneakers. The persons scent was making it harder to resist. I knew right away I was dealing with a male. I followed the person like a scoundrel until I felt it was right. Then once, we gotten to an alley way, and the dead were gone, I struck. I lured him into my trap. He came in closer. I didn't see his face, maybe it was how cloudy and dark it had gotten. I pulled him to the ground and ripped out his throat with my fangs. I started draining him of his blood, and I couldn't stop. It was so rich. Something about the blood kept me going, and I didn't stop. A minute later, I stopped and threw up in a trash can next to me. I took in too much. I wiped the blood off my mouth and went to see who my victim was, now that I gained control over my bloodlust. Upon inspection, I was frightened to see I killed him. I unzipped his coat and pulled his hood back. I screamed in terror and fell back. I huddled in the corner, startled. There, dead on the ground… was Pete. My own flesh and blood. And I killed him. I stared at my blood covered hands and I seen what I had become. A monster. This has to have been my suspicions about the OSSN. I found a gun laying on the ground. I grabbed it, held it to my head and pulled the trigger. Then I woke up. Everything was so real. Pete. I ran to his room and banged on the door til he opened the door, and looked tired.

"Hayley, it's 6 AM." He yawned" What's wrong?"

I hugged him tight and just broke down into tears.

"I dreamed that I killed you." I said

"It was just a nightmare." He said

"Pete, something is seriously wrong." I said

"C'mon Hay." He said

"Believe me!" I said "I think something happened at the OSSN last night."

"You are overacting." Sighed Pete "Now, can you please let me get some sleep?"

"You didn't sleep?" I asked

"I had a hard time sleeping." He said "I think you gave the insomnia bug to me."

"That's what Dom said…" I said

"Hayley, you know what Brent said." Said Pete "It's just an joke they have. Me having insomnia has nothing to do with it. Now, go back to sleep or something."

Pete closed the door and I sighed and went off to my room. I knew what I was feeling. My dream. Pete's sleeping problem. And that thing Dominic said is still with me. What did he mean anyways? I knew all the pieces would fall into place soon. When was all I was wondering.
