A/n i'm sooooooooooooooo sorry i'm a horrible writer I haven't wrote in forever. I haven't had any inspiration and I had my laptop taken away and then when I went on fan fiction on my iPod I noticed that I accidently made the third chapter a repeat of the first which I am equally sorry about anyways I couldn't remember what happened in the last chapter so I couldn't write it on paper but I promise I will update all my stories now

Chap 4

As we passed through the city I marveled at all the sights flashing past my eyes. The huge sphinx was even bigger than I imagined. All the lights flashed by and I laughed with exhilaration. I felt free as I drove down the highway to the mansion we were meeting at. Thick forest surrounded the rode now and I started to feel more closed in. I kept thinking I saw black hooded people in the forest. Every time a bird made a sound I would jump out of my seat. Alex raised his hand signaling we were turning off into the forest. We slowed and pulled in.

"Alright guys, if we all try to go in the front door there will be an attack on us and undoubtedly one of us will get hurt. In partners we will all sneak in and will meet in the board room at eight pm. That gives us all one hour. When you get into the room find a good hiding spot and wait until I get there. If you are not there at eight pm sharp I will make a search and rescue mission. Whatever you do, do not kill anyone. This is not one of our missions where we can fool around or kill anyone in our way," Alex told us seriously. We all nodded our heads and kept our mouths shut, waiting for further instructions. "Make your groups and you may start finding your way in." everyone turned around and I spoke up,

"Wait! How will we know how to find the meeting room?" I asked.

Alex smiled. "Ah, yes, I forgot this is your first time in the Circle daybreak mansion. We have all been here before and know the floor plans well. Just make sure to stick with your partner," he told me.

"Ok," I blushed. Everyone went back to choosing partners. There were no fights over who was with who they all just walk towards somebody and left. First off was Audrey and Nate, it appeared they already knew how they were going to get in, everyone else was talking strategy. Lisica and Fawn both gave out a war cry, which got them a glare from Alex, before they mounted their bikes and left off. I realized now that I didn't have a partner. I walked up to the group of Adrian Jorden and Alex. I was going to ask Alex to be my partner because I felt already like he was a big brother to me, I felt safe with him and was sure he knew the mansion the best. As I opened my mouth Adrian cut me off.

"Deidre, would you like to be my partner? I promise that I won't get us lost… or killed," he added in an undertone. I considered it quickly. I felt safe with Adrian as well, I knew I would be okay with him.

"Sure," I replied.

"That was a relief, I was sure you were going to say no," Adrian sighed causing me to laugh

"So how are we going to bust in?" I asked

"There's an entrance through the basement, to get in there's a small hatch about half a mile, on the edge of the estate. We'll have to go through the tunnel, I'm not too worried about that part, but it might be harder getting to the meeting room because it's on the second floor of the other side of the house and there is lots of guards patrolling today because there happens to be a full council today."

"I think I get it, we better get going if we're going to have to run half a mile and sneak through a huge house."

"Let's go then."

Adrian and I jogged to our bikes. We hopped on and left Alex and Jorden who were still arguing about how to get in behind. The ride was quick. We left out bikes in a hole and covered it with leaves to disguise them. I walked the few feet over to the little hatch. I stared at it as Adrian finished with the bikes. There were two doors made into the ground. The doors looked old and rotted. I could sort of tell that it used to be a light colored wood paneling. To rusted metal loops came out of the wood, one on each door, and a rusted metal chain ran through it with a new looking lock on it. Obviously, someone had fixed the lock but decided the rest was fine so it must still be sturdy enough. I tried to pull up one of the doors, they moved a little bit but were extremely heavy. Out of nowhere, Adrian's hands were pushing mine away and he started pulling the doors. A horrible, loud, creaking noise came out of the door, or the hinges to be precise.

"Stop, if someone comes out and sees the door is broken they're going to come down." I told him.

"How else do you suppose we open it?" he asked.

I smiled, "Like this."

I knelt down beside the lock. I recognized it. It was the same lock I used on my cabinet in the shed and I knew how to work it. I imagined that my mind was a key and that it was turning and hitting the right gears. I heard a satisfying click and turned around to gloat at Adrian. He stood there looking at me amazed.

"That's how you do it human style," I laughed.

"You're not human though."

This brought me back down from the place I was in and I realized he was right. "I guess you're right, but I don't have vampire strength."

"I Guess brain does beat muscles," Adrian chuckled. He pulled out the chain and re wrapped it around only one of the hoops and clipped the lock on the other. He pulled open the door and I saw it was almost half a foot thick. " I hope you're not afraid of spiders."

"That and blenders are the only two," I gulped.

Adrian's grin dropped slightly. "I'll go first and ward them off then."

Adrian Jumped down the hole and offered his hand to me. I pushed it away and jumped off, being careful to bend my knees when I landed. Adrian pulled the doors closed and we were surrounded in darkness. I heard some sliding from beside me and immediately my reflexes told me get closer to Adrian so that he could fight whatever it is off. All of a sudden the tunnel was light again and I felt Adrian's silent laughter shake his body.

"Are you afraid of a torch?" he asked. Not giving me enough time to answer he carried on. "From now on we have to be quieter, this tunnels echoes horribly. We started to run the tunnel, Adrian was silent and I tried to be too, but I just couldn't keep my feet from slapping against the ground. I tried running on my toes instead of on my flat foot and it was a bit quieter. We had been running for fifteen minutes and Adrian had told me we were a Quarter of the way finished. I stopped.

"There has to be a quicker way, can't I just hop on your back and you run the rest of the way with your vampire speed?" I asked.

"I could, but then I would have to put out the torch," he told me.

"I'll take it." Adrian put the torch on one of the holders on the wall.

"Run and jump onto my back," he instructed me. I ran a bit behind him and ran back, when I was two feet away from running into him, I jumped and landed with my legs around his waist. Adrian turned around and put out the torch,

"Hold on," he whispered. I tightened my legs even tighter around his waist and buried my head in his shoulder. Adrian started running, I knew that because I could feel the wind blowing my short hair back. Three minutes later he stopped and I looked up. In front of us was a door. I hopped of his back and went to open the door. Adrian put his hand on my shoulder. He looked at the knob and shook his head. I knew that I wasn't supposed to open the door, and by the way he wasn't talking, I knew not to talk either. I stepped to the side and he put his face against the glass window. It seemed he didn't find anything bad so he opened the door for me. We were in a small room. The floor was made up of grey cement and the walls were drywall. Another door stood on the other side of the room, we sneaked over too it and Adrian peeked out again. Immediately he pulled his face back. He grabbed me like a little football under his arm and ran with me to a little closet. The two of us stood in there trying not to breathe to loud. The door opened and I could hear voices.

"It just doesn't feel right today, all day I have had a weird feeling. Something bad is going to happen tonight," said a female voice.

"Anna, did you have another premonition?" A deeper male voice asked. "You know you're supposed to tell lord Thierry about those right away."

"I know, but there's a lot on his mind and I don't want to freak him out."

"I don't care, either the two of us are going right now or I will carry you there," the man growled.

"Fine," the lady, Anna, grumbled. I heard footsteps and the sound of the door opening and closing.

"That was close," I whispered, as we stepped out of the closet.

"Yeah, it was. We better hurry though, security is about to step up," Adrian warned. I looked around the room and saw our free walk.

"I have a plan," I smiled.

"What is it?" Adrian asked.

"We'll dress up as staff, clearly this mansion is so huge everyone must not know everyone, if someone asks we can say were new."

"That's a good idea, but how do you suppose we'll get costumes?" I walked over to the hangers and picked up a maid and a cook costume.

"Will you take the dress or the apron?" I laughed.

Adrian walked over and grabbed the chef's uniform and slipped it over his black clothes. I realized that I would have to take off my jeans and t-shirt so they wouldn't show. The dress was one of the ones with built in shorts, probably so when the maid bent over her underwear didn't show. I told Adrian to turn around and I tugged of my jeans and t-shirt. All of a sudden Adrian turned around and I was standing there in just my bra and underwear. He let out a small whistle as I tried, and failed, to cover myself. I told him to turn around again but he wouldn't listen. I pulled the dress on as quickly as I could and left my clothes in the bottom of a box. I walked over to Adrian and punched him in the stomach as hard as I could which caused him to gasp for air. I left Adrian there and went to look in another box. I found two wigs and wig caps. Both of us put on the caps and a wig. Mine was long, curly, and brown. Adrian's wig was shaggy and blonde. We looked out the window again and slipped out of the door. The two of us walked down the long hallways and Adrian appeared as if he knew where he was going. We nodded our heads at people as we walked by and nobody tried to stop us. We reached the door to the meeting and turned the knob. When we walked inside, nobody was there. Silently, Adrian and I opened a cupboard door.

"Oh crap," I heard someone say. I stuck my head and found where the sound was coming from. It was Nate, beside him he was getting and elbow Audrey.

"You're probably wondering what we're doing in a cupboard," Audrey laughed nervously. I laughed and pulled of the wig. "Deidre!"

"Yeah, me and Adrian sneaked in through the basement and found these cool costumes. Now move over I need a spot."

The two of them slid further down the row of cupboards. I sat down beside Nate and Adrian sat beside me, of course I banged my head on the counter. Half an hour later, Lisica and Fawn ran in. they opened up a tall cabinet and stepped in. I wiggled my phone out of my pocket and checked the time. It was seven fifty, I was starting to worry, where Jorden and Alex was. Five minutes later the door opened. I peered through the crack in the cupboard. Alex and Jorden came in, they were accompanied by a tall blonde man and an average height blonde girl with a scar running along her jaw.

"You guys here yet?" Alex asked the room.

I opened the door in front of me and stepped out, I was followed by everyone else.

"Ah, I see your all here already. I have to ask, Adrian, Deidre, did you two stop at a costume party on the way here?"

"No," I laughed, "We snuck in through the basement and found these uniforms so we put them on hoping we would be able to sneak in easier. Did you two get caught?" I asked

"Yes and no, we were sort of looking for Thierry and Hannah, but they found us first. It was pretty embarrassing," Alex blushed

"Details!" everyone yelled causing Alex and Jorden to blush even more.

"Well, umm, we were sneaking through the dining room when someone tackled us to the ground, they flipped us over and there was Thierry and Morgead, Hannah was standing behind us. Thierry asked us what we were doing here and I explained to him, Morgead left to go get the rest of the inner circle for the meeting."

Everyone laughed and I noticed Thierry and Hannah were looking at me weirdly.

"So it seems you've found a new recruit, is she a lost witch?"

"Oh, pardon my manners I forgot to introduce you two. Hannah, Thierry, this is Deidre she is a lost witch, Telekin to be precise. Deidre, this is Thierry, the lord of the Night world and his soul mate Hannah. Now everyone knows everyone."

I shook hands with the two and sat down in one of the chairs at the table. More people came in and took seats around the long rectangular grey table. Thierry introduced us.

"Thank you for coming, midnight ice would like to propose a deal, but first I must introduce you to their newest member Deidre, Deidre stand up." I stood up and gave a small wave and was returned with many others. "Deidre, meet Poppy James, ash, Mary-Lynette, Thea, Eric, Gillian, David, Rashel, Quinn, Morgead, Jez, Delos, Maggie, Galen, and Keller." As he said each name, he pointed to the correct person. "Alex why don't you explain your deal." Alex stood up and began to speak.

"My gang and I have recently had one of our members kidnapped. We are sure it was the Night world council because Adrian and Deidre had a run in with the man who was leading the attack. They escaped with Blythe in a truck so we can't trace the scent. We were going to storm the Night world head quarters but we do not have enough fighters. We come to you and ask of a deal. We will temporarily come to your side until we get Blythe back, if we like it here we will stay in the circle but if not we will withdraw and go back to our spot where we are un sided," Alex finished and everyone was silent until the man named Quinn burst out.

"That's preposterous, we will give them our services in turn to be dumped like old trash by them! I refuse to be a part of this!" he yelled

"Be Quiet Quinn! I think it is a wonderful idea I vote yes, but I have to ask, where did you learn such a great speech?" Rashel asked

"Umm, on this show I watched with Ash," Quinn blushed. I looked over to Ash where he was nodding his head sadly.

"If none of you have anything else to add we will take a vote," Thierry announced. Nobody spoke up so he continued on. "Raise your hand if you're for the idea." Ten hands rose high in the air. "That is it then. Midnight Ice, we welcome you into Circle Daybreak for as long as you wish." Everyone got up and went to the door.

"Why did you all sneak in, I remember chasing Lisica and Fawn on the second through sixth floors?" James asked.

"Well, we were all in our battle clothes and I didn't want an attack," Alex informed them. As an after though he added. "Could my gang stay here for a minute before you get settled in your room." Circle daybreak filled out and we stayed, waiting for Alex to talk.

"You all did great, it was very creative for you two to dress up and you must have been extremely fast to outrun James. Great job to Audrey and Nate, nobody, not even the staff, new you were here. Step one of the plan is in action and pretty soon we'll be back in Washington."

"Were you serious about staying in circle Daybreak?" Fawn asked.

"Yes, I was. If any of you like it here you are welcome to stay after wards even if the gang doesn't stay. You are dismissed now, get a good rest tomorrows going to be a big day. Room assignments are the same as usual. Deidre, could you wait here for a sec."

"Sure, but could I quickly grab my clothes from the basement? I have an uncomfortable chill."

"I'll get them for you, afterwards we have to grab our bikes," Adrian told me.

"Thank you, " I smiled. Adrian left and closed the door behind him.

"How was your first mission?" Alex asked.

"It was fun, I got to dress up as a maid and sneak through a mansion."

"I'm glad you had fun. Don't let circle Daybreak intimidate you, especially not Ash or Quinn. If they think that you're scared of them, they will pick on you more. Is there something going on between you and Adrian?"

"I don't know, at the hotel he said he loved me but I don't know what's going on between us."

"What did you say to him after he told you he love you?"

"I said nothing," I didn't mean to lie to Alex but I didn't want to tell him the truth yet either. Before Alex could reply Adrian came in holding my clothes. the two boys exited the room and I changed as quickly as I could. I walked out of the room and Alex was gone. This time Adrian and I took the front door. We walked for half an hour before I tried to make conversation.

"It's pretty cold out here huh."

"I agree," Adrian replied as he shrugged of his black leather jacket and draped it around my shoulders.

"Thanks."

"What are friends for?" Adrian put his arm around my shoulders and held me close to him. "Speaking of friends, are we going to be anything more?"

"Hey that rhymed," I laughed.

"You're avoiding the subject, please answer me, if you say no I'm okay with that too."

"I guess if we both like each other maybe we should be more."

"Wait, I need to formally ask you." He got down on one knee and for a moment I was worried he was going to ask me to marry him. "I formally ask you to be my girlfriend,"

"Yes." Adrian got up "What, no ring?" I joked.

Adrian bent down and grabbed a long piece of grass from the ground.

"For my lady," he laughed as he tied it around my finger in a bow.

"Now I will never forget you." I stood on my toes and tilted my head up to kiss him.

"You won't need to remember me because I'm not going anywhere for awhile," he whispered against my lips. I pulled back and smiled. The two of us kept joking around for the rest of the walk to our bikes. We dug up the grass and leaves and pulled out the two sleek black bikes. I got on and sped off leaving Adrian behind to see if he could catch up. In less than ten seconds he was behind me and in another three he was in front of me. I chased him back to the mansion which happened to be a shorter ride then walk. I arrived at the garage and he was standing there taping his wrist where a watch should be. I parked my bike beside the rest of the gangs and shoved him playfully.

"You know, you're supposed to let the girl win," I laughed making it clear I was joking.

"Well if I do that then you'll never get better and I won't be able to gloat to my friends."

"We'll just see about that next time." The two of us walked through the mansion to the sixth floor. " umm, where did Blythe sleep," I asked.

"Oh, she sleeps in room seventeen. I'll show you where it is." Adrian and I walked to the door with a big number seventeen on the front. I tried the knob and realized it was locked.

"Can you do that unlock thing with your mind again?" Adrian asked me.

"No, I don't know this lock. I would go get the key from Alex, but I don't want to wake him. I'll go sleep on that couch we saw in that bright blue room."

"No, last time I tried that the staff threw mw out of the house, you can sleep in my room tonight."

"Oh no, I couldn't."

"It's fine with me. The beds are king sized anyway."

"Okay," I agreed reluctantly. "But you better not try anything."

"I promise I won't."

Adrian was staying in room twenty. I quickly went to the bathroom to change into my black short shorts and camisole and to brush my teeth. Adrian went into the bathroom after me and came out wearing nothing but a pair of blue plaid boxers.

"What side of the bed do you want?" he asked.

"It's your room, you choose."

"I'll take the side farthest away from the wall."

One side of the bed was pushed against the wall. I climbed into that side and slid underneath the covers. Adrian got in the other side and turned off the light.

"Goodnight, sweet dreams, don't let the bed bugs bite," he told me.

"Right back at you." I pulled my knees up to my chest and thought for a moment, if my father was still alive and knew I was in the same bed as an unrelated guy, he would kill me. On the other hand, if my father was still alive I wouldn't be in a gang.
