Brittany woke up, in a different room. It was a room, much larger than hers. She looked around, in a daze, wondering what could've happened.

And that's when she started freaking out. She began to scream her lungs out. It was obvious what happened. She had been kidnapped, although, why they put her in such a comfortable looking room, she had no clue.

A girl with short brown hair, came running in, putting a hand over her mouth. Brittany didn't get a good look at her, was too busy screaming. When the girl, tried to hold her down, she began to struggle.

"Stop!" a familiar voice cried. "You're safe! Just stop the screaming!"

Which was what Brittany did. She stared up, at Tyler in shock, breathing hard. Her eyes were wide, as she continued to look up at her friend.

"I'll take my hand off if you promise not to scream." Tyler warned. Brittany nodded. "Okay." she took her hand off.

"Where are we?" Brittany cried, as soon as the hand was far enough away from her mouth.

Tyler shushed her, again. "We're at Lord Thierry's mansion."

Brittany wanted to snort. Yeah right, Lord Thierry was a fictional character from the Night World. There was no way they were at his mansion.

Or were they...? Suddenly the memories of Fern came rushing back to her, causing her to fall back on the bed. Could all those Night World books be true? Could all those characters really exist?

Tyler laughed, and helped Brittany up. "Come on. Pierce was the one that wanted you here. We don't know why, just that your soulmate is Fern. And, Lord Thierry said he'd like to meet you anyway."

Brittany shook her head as they walked out of the room. "No, you must have it wrong. It couldn't be Pierce who wanted me, because Pierce is dead."

Tyler looked back at her. "Um... no he isn't. I was just talking to him, right now, when you started screaming."

"Pierce Holt. That's who we're talking about, right?"

Tyler nodded. Okay, so maybe the books weren't totally true, because Pierce Holt was supposed to be dead.

Boy, was she in for a shock more than she could handle...
