Chapter 4

Get up! Your late for the party, get up! Mary-Lynnette kept telling herself, but unfortunately her body wasn't really doing anything.

She had officially shopped until she dropped. So many gifts, so many presents so many bags… and no so much money on her pocket. Okay, so maybe now she was technically broke, but it didn't matter. She was happy, happy because she had bought all her loved ones a present that she knew they would love.

All though she knew that some of her gifts weren't even as good as some stuff many people got her, she was still content. Now it was time for the party… which she didn't really want to go to. This morning she was actually excited. A lot of the stores she has been at were closing in early because the staff were planning to attend the party, more of a reason why she should go…

Who would want to be the only one in Briar Creek to have missed the best party of the year? She knew it would be the best because her 3 blood-tied sisters were hosting it.

Speaking of them, now that Mary-Lynnette thought about it, usually they would have called to see if she was on her way or something or even worse they would be here dragging her to the party.

Maybe they forgot about me. She told herself while the back of her mind kept saying that was impossible. Maybe they are just to busy. Yup, that was it. A lot of people where at the party, even for a vampire it must be hard to host a party like that.

Mary-Lynnette sighed as she made her way to the bathroom almost crawling. Time to get ready.

"Mark, get back" Rowan said without even taking her eyes of the two strangers. It has been a while since Mark had seen Rowan so worried… and scared?

"What are you doing here rat?" Krestel spoke with bitterness and hate, and by the direction she was looking, she obviously directed that question to the male stranger.

"I come in peace" He said while raising his hands. "though, I do not appreciate the name calling" The guy was calm. Even though right now, the three sisters looked like they could just jump on him and rip his head off. He was a calm. And the girl next to him, she looked bored. A little interested in how this would end, but mostly bored.

Mark had been thinking this whole time. He knew two things. One, the strangers weren't on the guest list. And two, the guy was definitely not human.

Vampire?

Shape shifter?

Witch?

Something inside him, told him he would find out soon.

"You. Here. In peace?" Krestel laughed, a twisted laugh… it kind of scared Mark. "Oh please John, you don't even know what that word means"

Mark saw how the stranger rolled his eyes when he was called by his name -so it would appear. So the guy is John. Maybe an old boyfriend? Mark though and then quickly pushed the thought away with a laugh. Krestel, boyfriend? Ha! wouldn't work.

"John" Rowan spoke with a soft voice, she was trying really hard to control her feelings. She was nervous, that's for sure. "what are you doing here? How many are here? The Nigh World, how much do they know?"

"Rowan, stop trying to talk to him. Lets just attack and get this over with"

"Krestel, my dear sister, do not forget we have at least 50 humans in this house"

"Who cares. This is our chance to kill that rat. If we don't, he will kill us"

"Whoa, stop right there" This time, to everyone's surprise the girl who had been next to the guy -John- was the one speaking. "John, wont kill you"

"Quinn! The name is Quinn. Can you stop calling me John?"

"Something is not right here" Jade who had been extremely quiet all this time spoke up. She was looking at the girl, the one next to Quinn. Curiosity all over her eyes "You're a human"

"Well…" The girl shrugged lazily "yeah I am"

"What are you doing with him" Jade asked and with in a second her eyes popped open "There are only two explanations!" Jade, a little excited yelled getting confused looks from everyone.

"I only see one explanation. And that is, that rat" She pointed at Quinn "used some sort of mind control on her"

"Yes… that's one. But don't you see!?" Jade asked, and soon enough she noticed she wasn't going to get an answer "Ahh! You guys are useless!"

"Wait" Mark found himself speaking for the first time. Soon he regret it, seeing how all eyes were on him "I think I know what you are trying to say" He spoke softly.

Of course he knew. He saw that look Quinn had in his face every time he looked at the girl- who's name he did not know yet. It's the same look he sees Ash give Mary-Lynnette. The same look he believes he gives Jade.

"Soulmates" He simply said. And with that simple word the atmosphere in that room completely changed.

Within seconds Krestel was on the floor laughing like there was no tomorrow. Rowan stood up straight, she looked at the supposedly soulmate couple with cuteness in her eyes. Jade was sharing a couple of laughs herself.

"That rat. Has. A. soulmate?" Krestel managed to say in between laughs. "You would think the extreme case was Ash and Mary-Lynnette- but this." Laugh "this wins the Gold medal" Laugh "I stick with the idea that he is mind controlling her or something"

The Quinn rolled his eyes before speaking "Listen you little brat. I don't mind control people-"

"Actually… you kind off used to" Quinn's 'soulmate' corrected him while he just rolled his eyes again. A gesture she didn't really like. "Don't role your eyes at me John Quinn!"

"Okay. How about you guys finish this chat, while I go talk to some guest.. I think they might get a little suspicious on why you 3 are no where to be seen" Mark spoke addressing the three sisters. "Can I trust none of you will kill each other?"

"Why has this conversation gone so far?" Krestel spoke with fury- she actually stopped laughing "We need to kill this damn rat before he calls for back up or something!"

Krestel was preparing herself to attack Quinn, when a voice she hasn't heard in a while came from the back of the kitchen. "Krestel" Ash Redfern stood in the back, looking as lazy as ever. Both hand on his pockets.

"So now you decides to show up" Quinn spoke a little relived he didn't have to fight Krestel. Ash simply shrugged innocently.

Great, so that idiot is here. Mark thought and before he knew it he was speaking out laud "What are you doing here?"

"Saving the day" Ash said happily. "Krestel cool off. Quinn is not with the Night World any longer. In fact, he is also a part of Circle Daybreak" As soon as Ash said that Krestel started laughing all over again. This time everyone is the room decided to role their eyes at her.

This day will be longer then I thought. Ugh damn it, I still need to find Mary-Lynnette.

"There is no milk" Thea complained to her soulmate as she closed the refrigerator.

Eric was way to concentrated on the PSP in his hand, so as a response he barley nodded his head.

Thea simply sighed seeing how there was no hope on Eric leaving that stupid game… what was it again? Call of Duty?

"Is he at it again?" The voice came from the back of the kitchen, near the door that lead to the garden in the back. Gillian was leaning on the door arms crossed and she looked some what annoyed.

"I think I mentioned going on a date with someone… he didn't even blink" Thea now thinking about it felt a little hurt. But she didn't really let it bother her.

"David is watching TV. I think its family guy" Thea now understood why Gillian was so annoyed. Gillian hated family guy, specially when David chose it over her.

"Did you hear anything about the others?" Gillian asked ignoring the fact that Eric was complaining about the bad Internet connection every 3 seconds.

"Well Galen, Keller, Poppy and James are here. You don't know them yet, right?"

"I know Poppy and James" Gillian gave a lazy shrug "I don't Know Keller or Galen, but I do know Iliana; she talks a lot about those two. She really likes them"

"Who really likes who?" Iliana entered the kitchen a little to excited, and before either Gillian or Thea could answer her question she continued "Answer later" she waved her hands as to excuse some maid "Anyways, I came here to ask you if you two could join me on a little trip"

"I smell trouble" Gillian warned Thea who was close to agreeing to this trip.

"Oh come on! I just want to go to the mall…"

"Then should you go with Keller? I mean, she gets really worried at times…" Thea was now think Iliana's suggestion of a trip to the mall… was trouble.

"Galen kidnapped Keller. Its amazing how with one simple touch she completely forgets about me." Iliana crossed her arms "now that I think about it. I'm hurt"

"Are you even allowed to go out? I mean, you're a wild power, and as far as I know Thierry gave direct orders to keep you in the mansion-"

"Ugh. Fine!" Iliana said not to happy. "What are you girls up to anyways?"

"I want to know what this meeting is all about! But Thierry said he would only tell us when EVERYONE was here. You know how long that could take?" Thea who had been trying to get Eric's attention for a while now literally almost spat the words out.

"Relax Thea. We are only missing a couple of people.. Some are of to missions and I don't think Thierry will wait for them" Gillian spoke now looking for a snack.

"She is right. Plus Delos was actually complaining about this whole meeting thing too. Thierry looked pretty mad at him- but anyways, Hannah said they were just waiting for Ash, Quinn, Rashel and company… my guess is Ash's soulmate." Iliana informed the two girls as she herself started looking for a snack.

"Mary-Lynnette?"

"Yeah, I think that's her name" Succeeding on finding a bag of cookie Iliana took a seat next to the game addict, Eric.

"Do you think the end of the world is-"

Thea wasn't able to finish her sentence thanks to Iliana "I hope not! I mean… I'm not ready! I cant even control the blue fire yet! And we haven't found the 4th wild power…"

"I lost! DAMN IT!" The three girls turned their attention to a freaked out Eric, when he finally noticed the attention he smiled "Hi Iliana, Gillian! When did you guys get here?"

Thea didn't hesitate in hitting him on the back of his head. And with that she left the room.

"Did I say something wrong?"
