Why

Lucy woke in a strange barrowed coffin, in an unfamiliar room. Her cloths had been unpacked and placed in drawers; Penny's clothes nestled right next to them. She had packed for Penny, unable to think about coming home with out her. The Queen obviously shared her optimism. A small coffin sat on the opposite wall of the room.

Lucy ran her hands over the smooth lid. She felt the tears welling up inside her once more. She shook herself, determined not to lose it again. She was going to be strong and find her daughter. Penny needed her; she had to hold on to that.

There was a knock at the door. A young human man, probably in his early twenties, was waiting on the other side.

"They're waiting for you downstairs in the sitting room," he said. "Please come down as soon as you're ready."

She thanked him, and then hurried to get dressed.

When she got downstairs she understood how seriously Penny's kidnapping had been taken. The Queen's search team was made up of five vampires (including Eric), the werewolf twins, a third were, and two humans she didn't recognize.

"Ah," said the Queen. "Here she is. Shall we begin? Lucy, this is Karina Jackson, an Enforcer from area 1, Winston Samuels from area 2, Julius Russo from area 4, and Vera Chirkoff from area 5. Sheriff Northman has volunteered to represent our area in the search effort. You've met the twins of course; the leader of the Grey Tail Pack back home was kind enough to spear them. This is Gavin Nickels, on loan from the Sharp Paw Clan out of Chattanooga. And these brave souls," she said motioning to the humans, "are Stuart Kreiger and his wife Elena. They have infiltrated the Fellowship Church here in Fayetteville."

Stuart Kreiger was an average sized man with red hair and freckles. He wore a sweater and khakis and looked like the last man you'd expect to see conspiring with vampires. Elena was olive skinned, with long black hair and rich brown eyes. She wore a knitted green top and black slacks. They made and unlikely couple, but who was Lucy to judge love.

"Why," Lucy said. "Not that I'm ungrateful for you help, but why did two human's infiltrate an anti-vampire church?"

"Our son is a were," Elena said.

"Your son," Lucy said. "How?"

"We adopted him when he was a baby," Stuart added. "A couple years ago he started acting strange. One night he disappeared from his bedroom. We found him naked in the woods the next morning."

"At first we were terrified, but we didn't know what to do. As luck would have it one of his teachers at school was two-natured. She could smell it on him once the change started. She called us in and explained everything."

"He's only 11," Stuart continued. "The way we see it, a church that hates vampires is just as likely to hate weres if and when they decide to make themselves known. We'd like to put a stop to this before it effects Marshall."

"Much of our plan," the Queen said, " is based on the information gathered by the Kreigers."

"They are keeping your daughter in a holding cell in the basement of the church. She is guarded by at least one person at all times."

"Stuart is one of those guards."

Lucy's stomach jumped.

"Have you seen her? What are they doing to her? How is she?"

"I've seen her once in person," he said. "When they first brought her in they wanted to take some photos for some sort of powerpoint slide show. She was scared and had been crying. Her skin was a little burned from the silver chains they'd brought her in, but she was ok."

"What about now," Lucy begged.

"It's best we not get into that," the Queen said. "Tell them about Friday, Mr. Kreiger."

"Right," he said. "Friday night there is a seminar, "Evil Unveiled…"

"A look at the new face of vampires in America," Lucy finished, "it was on the pamphlet."

He nodded. "Your daughter is the evil they plan to unveil."

Penny rocked back and forth, turning her head away from the black haired girl asleep against the wall. She began to sing to herself, trying anything she can to distract herself.

The sleeping girl started to moan and stir.

"Where am I," she said finally. "What's going on?"

"I don't know where we are, some kind of church or something. " Penny said. "You came here to let me feed on you."

"I came here," she said confused. "I don't remember anything. I was at a bar then I blacked out."

She struggled to her feet and stumbled to the door.

"Don't," Penny said too late. The girl screamed as the shock raced through her body.

"You can't get out," Penny added. "We're prisoners here."

"If you're a prisoner," the girl asked. "Why would they bring you a donor?

"They're trying to make me to be bad," she said sounding like the child she was for the first time. "They want me to feed on you so that I'll lose control and kill you. They want to video tape it."

"Make you," the girls said retreating. "So you don't want to bite me?"

"I want to," the child said, voice full of hunger. "But I'm not going to."

"Why not," the girls said not believing her.

"My mommy taught me not to," was the only answer Penny gave.

"What's your name," the girl asked when she couldn't handle the silence.

"Penny. What's yours?"

"Summer," the girl answered.

They talked a little, Penny rocking all the while, keeping her distance from Summer. She told her what little she knew.

"Fellowship of the Sun," Summer said.

"What?"

"That's where we are. David Newlin is the leader of the Fellowship of the Sun. He took over when his brother disappeared. And he was only in charge because their father died in a car accident. We're probably in the big church in Fayetteville. Shadowland, the bar I was at, is in Lynchburg. It's only about 20 minutes from Fayetteville."

"What is Fellowship of the Sun," Penny asked.

"They call themselves a church," Summer said. "But they're more about politic than anything else. They're hardcore anti-vampire."

"What do you think they're gonna do with me? There as to be a reason other than the tape."

Summer shrugged. "Whatever they have planned," the girl said. "It's not good."
