Tris's POV

Lets see pasta, chicken, gravy...yup, I think this is good. We agreed that we'd eat dinner before going to Helens incase she tried to poison me or something.

I set everything on the island and go out to the living room. "Guys come on I want to leave before 6:30." They keep playing their game as if I didn't say anything. I huff. Boys. With a flick of my wrist everything turns off and they start protesting.

"Come on-"

"Seriously-"

"Was that necessary?"

"How about next time you dont ignore a telekinetic person" I tell them and walk across the room and up the stairs. I live with Nathan in a small apartment building. When you open the door theres a giant open space and to your right is the living room. Straight ahead is the kitchen, with the dining room next to it, and to the left are the bedrooms and office. Our rooms are on the first floor, and the bathroom and office are sectioned off "second floor". Its basically just a balcony with walls. The office is almost all wood. Wood floors, walls, desks; Actually, almosy everything in the house is wood except for the the furniture.

I finish my hair and look in the bathroom mirror. Black pants, white blouse, and a leather jacket. I slip on the my wolf bracelet and the doorbell rings.

Tobias's POV

Me and Zeke say goodbye to the girls and head to the apartment. Theres a party at his aunt Helens and he thought it be better to walk in with his siblings than go in alone. I dont tell him he should call first, I dont tell him they might not even agree.

We go to the top floor and he rings the doorbell. There's foot steps and a older guy who looks like Tris answers the door. He swallows hard and the smile drops from his face. He nods to Zeke as if he doesn't care.

"Hey Zeke, baby sis did say you were back." He looks away at first. He looked back up and for a split second there a genuine look on his face. "Its good to see you again. Now what are you doing here." Zeke smiles. "Nice to see you haven't changed a bit Nate." He mirrors his smile. They do a handshake and a quick hug. Im standing off to the side, half awkward and half happy.

Nate looks at me. "Ah, you must be number boy." I must give a confused look because he laughs. "My sister told me what happened. Dont worry, men greater than you have failed to realize to stay out of her way when she's pissed. Oh and that reminds me." He turns and flicks Zeke in the head like I did. "You should already know better." He walks back in to the house and we follow, Zeke in pain holding his head and me laughing at him in pain holding his head.

Uriah is eating at the island with a red head next to him. He gives Zeke a nod but other than that doesn't acknowledge him.

"Seriously though, Bea never said you were coming." Nate raises a eyebrow, looking even more like his sister. Speaking of which, hasn't made an appearance. Not that I was hoping or anything.

"I was hoping that, since Im gonna see everyone tonight, I could come in with you guys. I mean, I haven't been back in years and...I wanted my family with me."

Nate looks around the table recieving nods to a silent question, Uriah hesitsting a second longer. "I'm not going but Bea and Uri are. Once she's ready you can go with." "I'm right here big brother." I turn to the stairs and freeze. Tris has her hair down in waves, black jeans, a semi tight white blouse, and a leather jacket. She's barely wearing any make up- only eyeliner and a bit of eyeshadow-, but to be honest she doesn't need it. She's beautiful.

Tris's POV

I hear Nathan open the door and take a sniff. Zeke and Four. Deciding they needed some alone time I quickly finish my make up and go to the top of the stairs. Once they were back inside I move my hair from my ear so I could here better. Wolfblood senses, got to love em.

"Seriously though, Bea never said you were coming."

"I was hoping that, since Im gonna see everyone tonight, I could come in with you guys. I mean, I haven't been back in years and...I wanted my family with me."

Nathan looks around the table and everyone nods back at him. "I'm not going but Bea and Uri are. Once she's ready you can go with them."

I take that as my que and start walking down the stairs.

"I'm right here big brother."

Everyone turns to me and I start to feel the beginning of alot of emotion. I mentally grab it and force it into my box. I look around the room, but everyone looks normal, my family with there casual looks and Four with his blank expression. Ignoring it, I turn to Zeke. "And of course you can come. Are you coming with us?" I ask Four. He looks up, as if coming out of a daze. "Yeah, if thats ok."

No its not Uriah tells me the exact same reason I couldn't bring Marlene.

I open my mouth, ready to agree with him, then rethink it. Maybe if there's more humans around, it would be like a warning to Helen. She hasn't exposed the secret yet, why now.

"Absolutely" I tell him ignoring Uriah screaming in my head. We could use him to keep your crazy aunt at bay. Do not raise your voice at me Uriah Pendrad Jr! He backs down and settles with roling his eyes.

We all eat and get in Zeke's car. Five minutes into the drive he atempts to make conversation. "So you moved in with Nathan?"

"Yeah. Actually nearly everyone lives in that apartment. Me and Nathan are the only ones on the fifth floor. Uriah and Lyn live across from each other on the fourth, and Caleb and Dexstin across from each other on the third. The only other neighbors we have are on the second floor..." I go on to tell him about the elderly couple and the family of vampires in the building. The couple are nice humans and the vampires are a family of three, a mother, a father, and a newborn. The mothers a younge vampire-born(22) and the father was a human who was turned. She found him in a alley. She helped him deal with what was going on with him and they've been together ever since. They have the cutest baby boy named Aiden and I babysit for them whenever they need. I consider them good friends.

Were quiet for the rest of the ride.

We get there around seven-o-five. "There" is a rentable party hall near the edge of Chicago, only miles away from our Head quarters. Now I see Uriah was nervous.

We walk up to the door and I turn to Zeke. "As I think you already know you cant just walk up to people expecting things to be the same. You have to approach this gently." I narrow my eyes at him. "And by gently I mean my definition."

He nods and gives me a salute, trying to ease the tension. It's not working.

I sigh and knock on the door. Here goes nothing.

Hey guys. Dont you just love a good cliff hanger? I do. I know it seems like the story's going along slowly but trust me, things will start happening soon. Remember to review and suggestions are always welcome.
