Joe and I walked into the coven, uneasily. Many people stared at us. I turned to Joe.

"Go up to your room and stay there until I come up." Joe nodded quickly and ran up the stairs. I walked through the corridors until I spotted Alexander and Rigel stood. I walked up to him.

"Alexander." I said. He stared at me.

"You are in so much trouble…" He started

"I know." I snapped. "And I'll take my punishment. Alright?" Alex nodded.

"Fine. She's waiting for you." I nodded. He led me into the thrown room. I kneeled in her presence until she spoke.

"Stand, Child." She said. I stood up and looked to Amelia. She looked regal in her black dress. She always did. All of the elders were like that. Amelia, being the only woman, was bitter though. He was stubborn and usually held the worst punishments. "Lillian." She muttered. "You are in deep trouble." She said.

"I know." I whispered.

"First, you sneak out, hunt illegally and infect a human. Then, you bring him into MY HOUSE!" She shouted. I nodded. "And now, I'm told that you spent a entire day outside the safety of the mansion!" I nodded again. She shook her head.

"I was only bringing him here for the safety of the coven. He's in a band. He could expose our kind to the humans. I didn't want anything bad to happen." I said.

"So you risk your own safety to bring him here? Instead of killing the boy as it should be?"

"I didn't think he deserved to---"

"He was a human. They all deserve to die." I was silent again. "I should kill you. Here, and now."

"I'm aware of the punishment."

"But I won't." I looked up to her.

"What?"

"He's your responsibility now. Train him well."

"Train him?…"

"I'm told he is 17? Jackson and him are old enough to be trained. They will soon become dealers. You will teach him."

"Me? I…"

"You know how to be one. If Viktor would let me, you would be in Nathaniel's position." I nodded. "Now. You should get some rest. Training starts soon." She said. I bowed to her and turned. I got to the door before she spoke again.

"Lillian?" I turned to her. "Be careful." I nodded and left the room. I am so screwed.


I knocked on Joe's door. It was silent. I opened it to find Miley standing over Joe's sleeping body. I gasped.

"Miley! What are you doing here?" I whisper-yelled at her. She stood up and walked over to me.

"Then entire house has been absolutely buzzing about him. And for once, the rumors are true! Finally a new boy who isn't Oliver…" She said

"Miley, you can't have him. He's going to be a dealer, according to Amelia."

"A Dealer? Are you kidding? He's a minor…"

"Amelia said that the elders are lowering the age. Jackson is too."

"Oh my god…" I nodded.

"I feel really bad for him." I whispered looking over at him.

"Me too." Miley replied.

"And I have to train him." Miley quickly looked to me with a surprised face.

"Is that your punishment?" I nodded. She hugged me.

"Oh, god…. I'm so sorry." She said. I nodded.

"Uhhhh…." I heard Joe groan. He was waking up. I turned to Miley who nodded and left the room. I walked up to Joe. He opened his eyes and looked to me. "Your alive!" He said cheerfully.

"For how long it lasts. But… I have bad news for you…" I said. He sat up and looked to me.

"What is it?"

"I have to train you…" He gave me a confused look.

"For what?"

"To be a death dealer." I said slowly. "Their like… spies. They hunt down Lycans and Immortals and kill them off. The soldiers of this never-ending war." His face was without color. "Don't worry. Not much can kill a vampire."

"Yeah. But a lot can kill a human."

"Yes. But, Joe… you aren't human. Not anymore at least. I can train you to be good. Don't worry." He looked up at me.

"That's not what I meant. I'd be killing people, right?"

"Well, they aren't people. Its just Lycans and Immortals. Sometimes humans." My statement didn't exactly calm him down.

"Lilly, I don't think I can kill somebody." He whispered.

"Wait til they take a shot at you. It won't be hard at all."
