Hey guys sorry for the long delay. I wrote half of this on a plane to Kentucky and the other half in my hotel. I am competing in my Vaulting National Championships. So as you might imagine the last couple of days have been busy getting ready for this and actually competing. I may not be able to update again until next Monday.

Believe it or not waking up early, on a day you could actually sleep in, is not a pleasant way to start the day. And today I awoke to the toaster shrieking.

I guess I never told them about the toaster's quirks.

I hauled myself out of bed and then into the kitchen where I presumed the three would be. When I entered to room I saw Haden frantically pressing buttons on the toaster to try to make it stop while Tamara was covering her ears.

"You have to unplug it," I advised.

Haden found the plug and tore it out so viciously I was surprised the power outlet didn't come with it.

"What the hell is wrong with your toaster?" Tamara demanded.

"Sorry I forgot to tell you guys last night that the beeper is broken and that you have to press the pop up button before it finishes or otherwise it won't shut up," I explained apologetically.

"It's okay," Haden said but still eyed the toaster like it was possessed.

"What is making so much damn noise?" a voice questioned from across the room.

I turned around and saw an extremely irritated Roy who was rocking quite a bedhead. I was about to explain to him about the toaster, but then when he saw me his eyes widened in surprise. I looked down to see what he was looking at.

Oh crap!

As it turns out I had marched into the kitchen wearing only what I slept in and that happened to be shorts and a sports bra. Now normally I wasn't shy about my body but the way Roy looked at me made me think that it wasn't such a good idea to have my…assets on display.

"I uh I'm going to grab myself some clothes," I sputtered and darted into my room.

I quickly grabbed a V-neck that said 'Girls do it better' and some dark jeans. I checked the mirror to make sure that I wasn't rocking a bedhead like Roy. Yeah… I was. I headed to the bathroom and grabbed a brush for my wavy mocha hair. My brown eyes stared back at me and I wondered what it would look like if I had blue eyes like Roy.

Why are you even thinking about that? I asked myself.

Then I shook it off and headed back to the kitchen. Roy turned to look at me and his eyes darted to shirt then back to my face, he had a funny expression on his face.

"What?" I demanded.

"Where is a bowl?" he answered with another question.

"Huh?" I was momentarily confused by his question, "Oh uh in the second drawer to the right."

Why am I so spacey today? I wondered.

I grabbed myself a piece of toast and popped it in the toaster. Tamara, Roy, and Haden all looked at me like I was crazy.

"Oh relax would you? Believe it or not I can handle a toaster," I said with a roll of my eyes.

I set the table while simultaneously keeping an eye on the toaster. Just when it was about to finish I hit the pop up button and it came up without so much as a squeak.

"So before we go werewolf hunting is there anything in particular I should know? Do I need to arm myself with squeaky toys?"

Tamara laughed, "Honey if slaying rogue werewolves was that easy we wouldn't have any problems in the first place.

"Actually there is something that you need. How much silver do you have?" Roy told me.

"Silver? Why? Wait the silver and werewolf myth is actually true?" I asked incredulously.

"Yup," Haden answered for Roy.

"In that case I need to go to my room to check."

I ran down the hall and almost stepped on Rossco. After that I made it into my room. I grabbed all my rings, necklaces, and the bracelet my grandma gave to me on my fourteenth birthday. Then I returned to the kitchen.

"This is all I have," I told them after I dumped it on the counter.

"Ooohhh this is pretty! Can I wear it?" Tamara asked, pointing to a silver necklace with an ankh on the chain.

"Yeah go ahead," I told her.

"Put this on," Roy commanded.

"All of it?" I asked dubiously.

He rolled his eyes, "No, idiot, just what you can."

"Fine," I retorted.

I put on a necklace with an antique silver key on it that rested just below my collar bones and another larger necklace that went to the bottom of my ribs. I was already wearing silver earrings so I didn't bother with that and I could only wear a few rings because otherwise it would interfere with shooting my bow.

"Happy now?" I asked irritably.

Roy snorted and didn't say anything else.

"What's the game plan for today?" I addressed Haden and Tamara purposely ignoring Roy.

Tamara answered, "We are going to go to the sight were we ran into the rogue last night. There I will perform a tracking spell. That should give us a general direction to head. Then Roy will take over."

"Why him?" I questioned.

"Because in his leopard form he has a hell of a lot better smell than the rest of us."

"I thought vampire were supposed to have enhanced senses," I asked suspiciously.

Haden laughed, "We do. More so than a regular human but we still can't beat an animal's sense of smell. Though a werewolf could give Roy a run for his money in that department."

Roy narrowed his eyes at Haden.

"That actually makes sense," I said.

"What do you mean by that?" Roy said with an edge to his voice.

"Just that dog and canines in general have a better sense of smell than cat but cats on the other hand have better hearing. Why what did you think I meant?"

"He thought you were comparing him to a werewolf. In the Night World that is considered derogatory," Haden explained.

"Werewolves are what, considered inferior species?"

Haden nodded sadly, "Unfortunately. They have a bad reputation. Not that all are like that, though. I've known some that are quite nice actually."

I sighed in disgust, "Even in the supernatural world there is racism and prejudice. That sucks."

All three nodded. Though they all stayed quiet as if they were lost in thought. I decided not to interrupt them and go grab my archery supplies, so I could be ready to leave as soon as possible.

Finished finally! I have been working on this off and on, mostly due to my competition schedule and partially to my ADD moments. Please tell me what you guys think! Reading your guys' reviews really makes me happy after an exhausting day of vaulting. If you want to know more about what equestrian vaulting actually is PM me and I can tell you all about it.
