I lay in bed staring at the ceiling. The last thing I wanted to do was get up and face them. I don't know if I could ever look them in the eyes again knowing that it was my fault that their lives were put in danger. I should have known better.

So my father is one of the six elder vampires. Who would have thought? I suppose, now that I think of it, Zots really enjoyed telling me of my dad's crummy love story. It made me wonder if the whole purpose of being there last night was to shove it all in my face. I was half vampire, half witch. How exactly did that work out? I never felt a need to drink people's blood. That story of my parents, though… Why exactly did I disappear?

I also now knew that this Tom was actually my lover. It sucks that I can't remember anything about that. I was even going to marry him. Then there was that situation with my father wanting me to marry…..Camazots….. Marry Camazots? Just the thought of that made me sick to my stomach. To think of it, though, he was pretty jealous looking when I mentioned Tom.

There were so many things that I still wanted to asked Zots. I almost wish I hadn't left when I did, but then Ciel, and maybe Sebastian, would be dead. Sebastian didn't take me as someone that would go out without a fight. Back on that subject, I should get up and go downstairs. I can't avoid them forever. I got up, got dressed, and headed downstairs expecting the worst.

I stopped halfway down the stairs. Camazots was standing next to a table with a vase, which he was teetering with his fingers. Upon seeing me he tilted it just enough to let it fall to the ground, broken.

I glared at him. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I thought I would drop by to say hello, considering you never said goodbye that night at the party," he returned.

"You can thank your friends for that," I said, "Why are you here? I thought you couldn't come here because Sebastian guarded it like a hawk." Now that I thought about it, I hadn't seen anyone yet.

"They took off, including their three servants," he said, "I wonder why they left you…"

This wasn't good news. Why had they left me? Did Ciel and Sebastian hate me so much that they all left until I leave the mansion? Well I can take a note. Now I just need to get Camazots out of here before he wrecks anything else. I walked towards the table and used my magic to fix the broken vase, and then returned it back to where it was.

"I can see you know how to use your magic again," he said, grinning, "Then I guess everything played out the way I wanted it to."

I turned to him, shocked. "What did you just say?"

He raised his eyebrow, and had that look on his face like you-know-exactly-what-I-said.

"You asked those vampires to hurt Ciel and Sebastian, didn't you?" The moment I asked Zots' smiled, letting me know immediately that I had it right on the dot.

"How could you do that to them, you sick, sadistic bastard!" I was screaming. Then suddenly I realized that there was more to this. "If the purpose of this was to remember my powers then that means you knew I would use them on the vampires there. You even told me vampire's weakness so I would know how to kill them. You knew they would die, how could you do that to them?! They're your own kind?!"

"Rose, you will learn fast that everyone is a pawn to me. Everyone," he said, walking closer to me, "Even you."

Then he grabbed me, and kissed me forcefully on the lips.

At first I didn't really think about it and I actually enjoyed it, but then I remembered that this was Camazots. I started to struggle, but he was obviously the stronger one since he was a vampire. I was trying to think of what to do, but my mind had gone blank. Then anger started to course through me and I conjured up a wood knife. I took it and sliced his arm. He let go of me and staggered back, clutching him arm in pain. Let's just say I thought specifically of a redwood knife.

He looked up at me angrily. Fear spread through me. I had to get away from him. What was I kidding, I couldn't outrun a vampire. I probably couldn't fight him that well right now either. I was a little slow on using my powers because I was still getting used to them. There's no place that he couldn't find and get me, too.

Camazots had gotten up from the ground and angrily said, "You should not have done that."

Then I remembered that magic cave, or whatever it was, in the forest. Camazots said that he wasn't able to get in it. That's where I could go.

Camazots was now walking over to me, looking furious. I put the picture of the cave in my mind. Concentrating….concentrating… Camazots was just about to attack me when everything wooshed around me and I was standing in front of the cave. Thank goodness.

I stepped inside the, now familiar, cave, and sat down. The cave had now become my sanctuary. I suddenly felt so tired again. I lay down on the rocky floor and closed my eyes.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I awoke to the sound of humming.

I was startled, worried that Camazots had somehow found a way in. I looked around me, no one was there. I could still hear the happy little tune, though. I got up and followed the sound with my ears. The cave had gone back farther than I had expected. The noise was getting slowly louder as I went down through the cave. Then I came to a dead end. The humming was through this wall. I reached my hand out to touch the wall, but my hand went right through! The humming had stopped. Still not sure what was going on, I walked through the invisible wall.

When I got through it, I noticed that I was in some place full of coffins. At first I was terrified that I had transported to some kind of vampire sleeping ground, but then I saw the Undertaker carrying a coffin to the side of the room. I relaxed.

"I sees you found the shortcut to me shop," he said, smiling creepily at me.

"Uh…yes," I said, still confused, "I was just hiding in a cave and I heard humming."

"Thats be me," he said humming the same tune that I heard and then stopping, "Ye took refuge in the cave huh? Interestin that ye found out its magical properties."

"Yes, it wouldn't be the first time. Last time it was the rain. This time I was hiding from someone," I said.

"Yes, yes. The cave only lets people in who need help. Then only people with intentions of helping can enter afterwards," he explained. Now it all made sense why Camazots could come in, but Sebastian could that one day. That day he intended to help me, but I'm sure he would never even think of helping me now…

"So why is there a portal that leads here in it?" I asked.

"Tis a portal only death gods can use to get from place to place, but I suppose ye be powerful enough to use it. Me shop is the closest thing to the cave, so that's why ye would come here," he said.

He was starting to dust the coffins. "So you are a death god, why do you work here?"

"I has me reasons," he said smiling creepily, "But mostly 'cause of all the beautiful bodies that come here!" I thought he was joking, but then I knew he wasn't when he opened up a coffin with a body in it and dusted them. I thought I would throw up.

"I don't suppose you know where Ciel and Sebastian went do you?" I asked, worried that they would arrive home to the raging vampire.

Suddenly, making me jump, out from one of the coffins jumped a person. "DID SOMEONE MENTION MY BASSY?!" they shouted in a high pitch voice.

I was blinking in confusion, and they glared over at me. It was a very feminine-like man that had long straight red hair, and was dressed in a red long coat with dress shirt and pants. He had on glasses and, to my surprise, shark-like teeth.

They growled a little. "And who are you?" he asked me, snootily.

"I'm Rose. Do you know Sebastian?" I asked, not sure why he didn't seem to like me at all.

"Yes! Bassy is mine, and you will not take him from me!" he shouted, very defensive.

"But I don't-" I started.

"I don't care what you have to say! Your rat nest of red hair can never compare to my beautiful, elegant red hair," he said, fondling his long hair.

"Excuse me?!" I shouted. Now I was getting defensive. My red hair was long and curly, but it wasn't nearly as long as this person's hair.

"Those boobs of yours are totally fake, too," he continued.

That was it. I stomped over to them ready to bust out in a fight. Then the Undertaker stepped in between us. "No fightin'," he said, "You'll wake up all the bodies." I stared at the Undertaker, wondering if he actually knew what he was saying.

"She started it!" the annoying red head shouted, and I tried to punch them, but the Undertaker blocked me again.

"I don't know what your problem is, but I have no intention of taking Sebastian from you!" I shouted at him.

Suddenly it was like a whole new person had appeared before me. "Well, then, sorry about that. I'm Grell Sutcliffe. I'm a Death God like the Undertaker. Nice to meet you!" he said, happily.

People around here were so weird. The Undertaker went back to dusting coffins. "Um…well, I already said that my name was Rose, so…it's nice to meet you Grell."

To my surprise, they jumped forward and hugged me tightly. "I didn't mean what I said about your hair, it is so bushy and pretty. It the same color of red as mine," Grell said, holding his hair next to mine. "We could be sisters. In fact, from now on, you and I will be RED SISTERS!"

"Okay….sure," I said. Then Grell hugged me again even tighter this time.

I wanted to get back on the subject of Ciel and Sebastian again. After Grell let me loose, I asked, "So do you have any idea where they could have gone? I just woke up and everyone had just left."

"Sorry, haven't seen em since that day at the mansion," he said, my hopes dropping.

I looked at the coffins. They looked oddly comfy. "Would it be okay if I stayed here for a little while? I'm not sure it is safe to go back to the mansion yet," I asked.

"Be fine with me," the Undertaker said, "only fee of stay is makin' sure Grell don't wake up the bodies." He was really serious about that.

I nodded, and said, "Thank you, and I will make sure that Grell won't wake up the bodies."

The Undertaker smiled creepily again and continued with his work.

"Oh this will be so fun!" said Grell, "It will be like a sleepover! We can do each other's nails and hair and…." I started to drone out of what he was saying. I hope that everyone was alright. If they didn't want me stay there anymore couldn't they have just told me to get out. It kinda hurt having to hear that the only people that have been there for me since I got here had left me. Especially when it had to come from Camazots. I had really screwed up…
