...

Carmilla groaned as the sound of knocking woke her from her blessed slumber. Pushing back the covers she cracked an eye open to check her phone because if it was before eight o'clock at night there was no way she was leaving her bed. Sadly, her phone said nine. Huffing she slipped out of bed and ran a hand through her hair not caring if she looked presentable. She went to the door and all but ripped it off the hinges she was tired and wanted sleep and she couldn't get that with all the racket!

"What?!"

"Sorry if I woke you but we need to talk"

Carmilla brushed her bangs out of her face to get a better look at Evelyn. The younger vampire looked terrified, without further questioning Carmilla pulled the blonde into a hug and closed the door behind her. Leading the blonde back to her bed Carmilla sat them down and pulled the blankets around them.

"Take some deep breaths Evie you need to calm down"

"I can't Carmilla there's too much at stake now and-and Je ne sais pas si je peux le manipuler diable Je sais que je ne peux pas! I have never in my second life been entrusted with such a task and I-"

"Wait, wait Evie your falling back into French, what does mother want you to do?" Carmilla needed to know what was causing her sister such distress and this might be the only time she could get new Intel on Mother's plans.

Licking her lips Evelyn weighed her options she might be helping Carmilla stop whatever it was mother wanted her to do but she might get some help when dealing with William besides she needed the whole story about her sister's roommate and the whole mess her sister had gotten herself into.

"Well I um.. I have good news, bad news, and terrible news"

"That's a lot of news"

"Yeah well with everything Mothers told me I figure you would take it differently"

Carmilla sighed "you might as well tear the Band-Aid off and just let me have it"

"Alright well I think you'll be happy because mother is leaving for a while"

"What! why?"

"Sorry it didn't come up as I tried to keep what little back bone I have from melting to the floor"

"Yeah sorry"

"It's alright but the next part you might not be so happy about"

"Why?"

"Because Mother wants me to stop your roommate from drawing further suspicion to Silas and us in general but I thought I should warn you…she didn't set any limits"

Carmilla buried her face in her hands, this was bad Mother wasn't playing around anymore she wanted it to stop and once the word was given it had to be carried out or someone's head would roll. Carmilla liked-ok more than liked Laura but she didn't want Evelyn to die! this was her sister of over two hundred years and now they were all in danger.

"Look sister I can tell you're in a bad spot but you need to tell me what's going on because I don't want to walk into this blind"

"Evie its… complicated"

"I don't care, I don't want to walk into the dark without a candle"

"People don't use candles anymore"

"I don't care! I need more than just a sick'em girl"

"Your right" Carmilla sighed there was no winning she had to tell Evie everything if she wanted to convince her not to kill Laura or any of the other lab monkeys even Danny.

"well I guess I better start at the beginning of this train wreak so about three months back Mother gave me a call telling me to come to this school…."

Carmilla and Evie sat together as the brunette told her sister everything, every detail of her stay at Silas, her roommate, and the investigation about the missing girls, all of it. Carmilla even told her about her attraction to the tiny journalist no matter how annoying she seemed her heart was in the right place and Carmilla couldn't help but find that enduring. Evelyn sat there listening as her sister's voice was no longer snarky or monotonous but happy and full of life even in their undead state it was obvious that she had a spark in her eyes that she hadn't seen since long before Elle.

Evie loved her sister's voice and the renewed passion in it but this only made her job harder because mother might want her to do something that would destroy her sister and she just couldn't do that. Frowning to herself Evelyn tried to think of a way for them to keep everyone happy but there wasn't enough information and the possibilities were extremely slim.

They were both leaning back against the wall Carmilla hugged Laura's pillow to her chest and Evelyn held the blanket around her shoulders both of them deep in thought. It was going to take time and a hell of a lot of work but they might be able to think up something given time and the two of them together but they would have to wait till Mother left to do anything and Evelyn still had to pay Will a visit.

"So what'd you think Evie?"

"I think you're screwed but you always were the trouble maker out of the fifty of us well three of us now"

"Ugh it's so depressing"

"I know" Evie leaned resting her head on Carmilla's shoulder.

The pair stayed like that even as the voices of Laura and Danny echoed down the hall way announcing their arrival. Laura smiled as she opened the door laughing at something Danny had said the pair came to a halt the moment they saw the pair on the bed. Danny's smile dropped and she openly glared at the vampires making Evelyn shrink back into the blanket a little while Laura simply cleared her throat.

"Um hi again"

"What's up butter cup?" Carmilla casually wrapped an arm around Evelyn offering the younger vampire some comfort.

"Your sister's here"

"Yeah I think we all kind of know that"

"Well yesterday we didn't really get a chance to talk to her before she had to go and you kept quiet" Laura was biting her lip trying to hold back the numerous questions she was dying to ask.

Sensing the tiny blondes burning curiosity Carmilla turned to Evelyn who was still eyeing Danny. Honestly she didn't know what to make of the redheaded girl she was taller than her by a great height, didn't care that they were vampires, and openly glared at them even when she didn't know Evelyn. All this hostility was making her uneasy and the blonde was bouncing on the balls of her feet with a million questions on the tip of her tongue and Evelyn didn't know if she could handle both girls being in the same room as her.

"What'd you think Evie? You don't have to answer her questions if you don't want to" Carmilla offered the out but it was up to Evie if she took it.

Biting her lip Evelyn glanced from Laura to Danny they were a bit much but as long as Carmilla was there she could handle it.

"I'll stay for a while besides I wanted to meet your little crush"

Carmilla rolled her eyes and playfully shoved the smaller vampire.

The pair's playfulness set Laura at ease smiling she set her books on the shared desk and sat across from them in her office chair. Danny was still cautious of the vampires and chose to sit on Laura's bed ready to pull the blonde away at a moment's notice.

"Oh there's so much to talk about and now that I finally have a chance to ask I don't know where to start!" Laura gushed

"I have no clue what're talking about but ask away I guess" Evelyn shrugged she didn't know if Laura would be this excitable all the time but she hoped she would calm down with time.

"well I guess we could start with Carmilla"

"What about me?" The brunette frowned

"I don't know has she always been this gloomy and broody?"

Carmilla huffed folding her arms Evelyn smiled.

"Actually she's happiest I've seen her in ages"

"What?!"

"Yeah right now she's the happiest I've ever seen her even when she's scowling like that"

Evelyn bumped her sister's shoulder making the brunette smile against her will. There was no fighting it when Evelyn was around she was just so cute nothing could keep her from smiling around her.

"Please she's been broody since day one" Laura smiled beside what she'd said she liked seeing the vampire smile so freely.

"That's just an act and underneath that broody, badass exterior is my kind, considerate and loving sister"

"Quiet you" Carmilla lightly shoved the blonde rolling her eyes here reputation was in shambles there was no way to salvage it not now.

"I told you!" Laura smiled triumphantly folding her arms across her chest

"Traitor" muttered Carmilla making the blondes smirk.

Danny watched them interact laughing and talking and it was… weird. Carmilla was trying to hide her smile, and not her snarky smile or her smug one but a genuine smile. Shifting her gaze from Carmilla to Evelyn, Danny tried to figure her out. It was hard since they'd only just met but she needed to gather as much info as possible because there was no telling whose side these vampires was on.

They talked for what felt like hours retelling stories of their "youth" so to speak and Danny found it hard to keep glaring at them. Carmilla was actually smiling a real smile not her smirk or sneer a genuine smile and Laura was laughing so hard she nearly fell out of her chair. Evelyn was slowly coming out of her shell and didn't seem so hesitant to talk any more as she told story after story of their misadventures.

"You guys just kept moving the statue?" asked Laura fascinated by the vampires tales of their past shenanigans.

" yeah but It didn't last long because they kept barely missing us so we had to hide on the roof till night fall" Evelyn shook her head thinking of how stupid they'd been.

"Hey the statue of David was priceless so why not show its perfection to the people?"

"I don't know maybe because it's a statue of a naked guy and every man who saw it would feel inferior to him in every way if you know what I mean" Evelyn somehow managed to keep a straight face before they all busted out laughing.

They were all having such a good time Danny couldn't help liking the blonde vampire. She was skittish but the more Carmilla talked the more she opened up and she told more embarrassing stories about Carmilla so Danny could like the girl a little more for giving her ammo for future fights that were bound to happen. As their laughter slowly came to a stop she noticed Evelyn's pocket vibrate catching her breath the blonde checked her phone and her smile dropped.

"What is it?" Carmilla glanced from Evelyn to her phone wondering what her mother wanted her little sister to do now.

"Its uh.. nothing look I have to go but if I can I'll come see you tomorrow"

Hugging Carmilla she gave the others a wave before heading out she dropped her smile as soon as she left the room. She had checked in with Carmilla but now she had to inform William of her arrival and of his current situation which sucked because he was an ass. Leaving the dorms she headed for the frat houses according to Carmilla, Will was in one of them.

The walk to the frat housing was long but she didn't mind because there were few times she actually had to walk and enjoy the scenery when Mother had her running around all the time. It was nearly three by now so the students would be heading back to their dorms she hoped that William wouldn't put up a fight besides she was tired from all that talking. Don't get her wrong she loved her sister and talking about their youth and what not but after what happened with Carmilla, Mother made sure that they never had the chance to make friends or had the proper skills for conversation unless it was for luring in girls but she left the older ones for that because Evelyn was just too shy for it.

It really sucked being the youngest she wasn't strong enough to handle turf wars or have enough knowledge to handle research but there was no way she could do the luring because she wasn't sociable or cold hearted. It was odd that when Mother had first started teaching her their ways she never taught her to be a lure, when she taught all the girls to do that which made them a little wary of her. If mother didn't teach you something it usually meant you weren't going to be around long yet here she was the last three of fifty which made her wonder why mother even changed her in the first place.

Shaking her head she pushed those thoughts aside it wouldn't do well to ponder such things. Looking around she realized she was at the Zeta house.

"How convenient"

Walking up the steps she took a deep breath before raising her hand to press the doorbell. She could hear about twenty sets of footsteps but the closest one ran to the door first the door flew open and a handsome guy smiled down at her.

"Hey"

"Uh hi I'm looking for Will?"

"Damn he's a lucky guy" he turned just as she felt her lunch try to make a reappearance swallowing she shook her head that was just gross.

"HEY WILL! THERES A CUTE BLONDE LOOKING FOR YA!"

The brunette turned back to her and smiled an "attractive" smile till Will's familiar footsteps caught her attention. She knew each of her siblings footsteps Carmilla's were laid back while William's were more of a march even after all these centuries he still retained his solider like mannerisms. When he saw her he smiled a "sweet" smile but she could see the anger in his eyes.

"Hey Evelyn long time no see"

"Yeah I wanted to see if you could go for a walk with me so we could catch up"

"Yeah I'll show you around campus"

"Nice man"

The vampires stared at the guy till Will couldn't keep the look of disgust off his face.

"Dude that's my sister!"

"Oh dud I'm sorry she's just blonde and cute and- wait no I mean she's nice looking but uh-"

"dude just stop" shaking his head he took Evelyn's arm and dragged her away from the Zeta house in a very brotherly manner till they reached an enclosed garden that belonged to the botany club. He pulled his hand away and sneered at her the frat boy act was gone in the blink of an eye.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"Hello to you too Will"

"Just get to the point Evelyn"

Standing up straight she glared at Will, he always had to be so hostile.

"Mother wants me to keep you from killing anymore girls as well as stop sister's roommate from bringing more attention to the school"

"Why not just let me take care of it or better yet get off her ass and do it herself!"

Evelyn hissed making him crouch they might be brother and sister but this was their sire he was talking about and without her they would both be dead.

"Watch your mouth!"

"Or what you'll tell mother?"

"No or I will rip your tongue out"

"Those are some pretty big words coming from the vampire who's afraid of her own shadow"

"Shut up!"

"Or what you'll hiss at me? Really Evangeline you're pathetic"

"Watch it William because at this point I am the only thing keeping you alive!"

He frowned.

"What?"

"You heard me, Mother found out about your late night snacking habit and now she's just trying to see the down side in killing you because at this point she wouldn't hesitate"

"She wouldn't do that"

"Why not? You've stopped her from getting fifteen girls that she knows of there have probably been hundreds but she's only noticed the few that went missing"

She could see he was starting to realize just how far in he was his eyes were wide almost scared but when he looked up he glared at her shaking his head.

"No mother needs me she wouldn't kill me, not now not never!"

"That's what the last forty-seven children thought and look where they are now" she waved her hands around the empty gardens.

"Gone, dust nothing more than a memory"

"She won't do that to me!"

"She will unless you get your act together and get some self-control!"

William growled ready to strike when his phone went off. They stayed in their crouches waiting for the other to move when he took out his phone.

"Hello?... yes, I'll be there in a minute… yes mother"

Hanging up he glared at her one last time before flitting away. She stayed in her crouch for another five minutes before falling to her knees releasing a shaky breath, her shoulders slumped and her head hung low. She wasn't a fighter but she could put up a front when it came to Mother, she couldn't help being the loyal little minion she was. It was terrible but she owed her so much, how do you betray the one who gave you a second chance at life?

Shaking her head she decided to go back to her new dorm and try to sort this all out because the moment Mother left all hell would break loose. Looking up at the cloudy sky in hopes of a sign Evelyn was so wrapped up in her thoughts she missed the flash of red making its way back to the entrance of the garden.
