Me: What!

Quinn: say it

Me: what! oh yeah i do not own Night World now excuse me i have to go track down my sister and duct tape her mouth shut.

Chapter 3- Confusion and more surprises

I looked down and saw Mary-Lynnette still screaming but thankfully safe, for now. She was hanging onto the second story window ledge, hanging on for dear life.

"Mark" I called.

"Yeah"

"Carefully open up the second story window"

"Why?"

"Oh, just open up the god damn window and help your sister out."I paused then added "please. Be down in a sec."

I closed the window and raced down the stairs as fast as I could only to hear Mark opening up the window and Mary-Lynnette's ear-piercing screams. I walked into the room just as Jade was pulling Mare through the window, still screaming.

"What-the-hell-were-you-thinking?" Mary-Lynnette shrieked, gasping for breath between each word.

"I was trying to get you back inside, and trying but failing to make you sense" I calmly replied, trying to not yell back.

"Oh, and how exactly did that work out for you!" she yelled. It looked as if she was about to hyperventilate.

"Calm down. You're fine, right? Still unharmed?" she nodded "Now, I'm sorry but you really should have listened." I rolled my eyes and watched as Mary-Lynnette's face turned completely red.

"Woh, woh, woh, what happened?" Mark asked right as I was about to leap at Mary-Lynnette, to prevent her from trying to leave, again. I sighed, Mark examined everything. I turned to face him, watching Mare out of the corner of my eye, ready to move at a second's notice. Then I told my story. The bedroom, the revelation, and finally the yank. Jade's mouth fell oipen. I could hear her thoughts echoing in my head.

You actually yelled. What happened to calm and level-headed? I heard her giggle in her head. I sighed exasperated.

Mare looked shocked and disgusted at what she had done. Mark looked as confused as I had felt at Mare's outbursts. Jade looked like she was trying not to laugh.

"I'm so sorry" Mare looked down at her feet, clearly embarrassed at the way she had acted, it was as if she didn't remember it.

"Why'd you do it" I asked confused.

She shrugged. "I honestly don't know. I just felt like I had to go outside, like it was a necessity. I had to go to Ash I guess. I'm not really sure. I didn't even realize I was talking." I swore, probably louder than what was necessary. "What?" Mary-Lynnette asked, looking terrified.

"Vampire mind control" I whispered in sync with my sister, Jade.

"which means...?" Mark asked voice trailing off into a question mark.

"It means that someone found out about Mare and Ash, Jade and you, that you guys know about the Night World, or a combination of the three." I told them worried.

"And that they were luring her outside in order to fulfill Night World law" Jade finished scared for her and her soulmate.

"They were going to kill me?" Mare whispered, completely and utterly terrified, or so it looked, anyway.

"Probably" I replied in monotone. I really didn't know what to think.

"That explains so much" Mark cut in glancing at both Mare and I.

"How?"

"Well you wouldn't act like that on your own."

"alright, the sooner we get to Ash the better. Maybe he can explain all of this... I hope."

"YAY!" Jade chimed." We get to go see my favourite brother in the whole world" I looked at her confused, when did that change?

"Jade, he is your only brother. Mare, Mark, go pack the faster we leave the better." The siblings trudged up the stairs and Jade turned to face me.

"What should we do?"

"well... you are going to watch Mark and Mare, you know make sure they stay here and all. I`m going to call Kestrel, tell her what happened, and to get over here. Then I`ll go explore the perimeter of the house and lot. You know look for that rogue vampire trying to kill Mare." I turned to face Jade only to see her standing still not even starting to do as i had asked. Then she started screaming, at me.

"No it is far too dangerous. You could die" she ended in a whisper. I had never seen her this worried before.

"Someone has to" I told her gently

"So let someone else do it" she argued

"Who?" I snarled, losing patience in the situation already.

"Everything okay?" Mark asked poking his head down the stairs to see what was going on between my sister and I.

"Yeah, just go back upstairs Mark. Please." I added when he it looked like he wasn`t going anywhere.

"Whatever" he sighed, turning to go back to his room.

"I'm going outside. Stay here" I begged of Jade, hoping she would listen this time. Hoping.

"Enough, please" I cried putting up a hand when she looked ready to argue with me, again.

I turned away from her and walked out the front door only to find myself face to face with none other than the notorious Quinn, Hunter`s minion, and Ash's best friend. He was also one of the most feared and dangerous vampires in the world.

Help I called mentally to Jade. Last i had heard, Quinn wanted to bring us back to that dreaded island where I had lived for most of my life. Maybe he was the one luring Mare outside or maybe not. Either way I knew I had to distract him, keep him away from Mark and Mare no matter what.

What`s wrong? Came Jade`s reply.

Quinn that was all I needed to say. Jade would know the danger just from the name and would hopefully get Mark and Mare out of that house.

"Hello Quinn. What are you doing here?" I inquired calmly but coldly.

"Hello Rowan. It`s nice to see you too" he replied sarcastically, mocking me I assumed. I cocked my head to the side and looked at him, hoping I didn`t look too much like my brother, Ash.

"I hate to disagree but if I remember correctly, and I usually do, last time you came around you tried to drag us back to that dreaded island, and you wanted our Aunt killed for helping us escape."

"Ah yes, ummm... about that... " he looked away as if ashamed, which I doubted considering i had never seen Quinn show remorse before. "I`m-"

"Look, I`m sorry but I really don't have time for this. I don't mean to be rude or anything like that but honestly what are you doing here Quinn because I'll tell you this now, my sisters and I are staying here." Quinn's dark eyes flashed and he looked at me quizzically, i guess debating whether or not he should tell me.

"I'm looking for someone."

"Who?" I asked, terror filling my entire being.

"Ummm..." Quinn looked at the palm of his hand, as if reading it. "Someone named Mary-Lynnette Carter. She is a human but she is also your beloved brother's soulmate."
