Hi! Okay, I know what you're all thinking "Where the hell were you?" Well, mainly sleeping, or doing homework. But, to try and say sorry for making you guys wait two months, I give you all permission to throw sharp, pointy objects at me. flurry of objects fly through the air I hope you like this, and I will do my best to have a better update rate. Enjoy!

This time, when I awoke, it wasn't from the sunset. My eyes still seemed dark, but I felt someone gently moving my arm. I turned so that I was on my back, and opened my eyes to see Eddie looking down on me.

"Come, Bright Eyes, we need to get moving."

I lifted myself to a sitting position, and tried to rub the sleep from my eyes. Starlight got up, yawned and stretched, a sign that she had slept well. Getting to my feet, I glanced up at the sky. It was darker out, so I knew that it was past sunset. I turned to look back at Eddie, who was taking apart what was left of the fire. He seemed calm, but rather quiet. I wondered if there was something on his mind. Walking up to him, I placed one of my hands on his shoulders.

"Eddie, is everything alright? You're so quiet."

He turned to face me, a weak smile on his face.

"Yeah, I'm just a little worried."

"About what?"

"Just…things."

"I'll listen when you're ready to tell me."

I gave him a reassuring smile, hoping to cheer him up a bit. His smile grew bigger and seemed to be stronger as he returned the gesture. He straightened, having finished his task, and walked over towards the end of the clearing. He turned around and stuck his hand out towards me. I looked at him for a moment, and then took his hand. He put his arm around my back, but then paused. I peered into his face, as he turned his head and looked me straight in the eye.

"Kelly, I have to warn you. Not every vampire at the council is as…friendly towards humans as I am. While we're there, I want you to always stay in my sight, or with vampires I trust. I'll point them out to you, when we get there. So, even if a vampire comes up to you saying I sent them, DON'T believe them, understand? His voice took on a shrill tone, and I realized that this was what he must've truly been worried about.

"Eddie, you're the only vampire I trust. So if you say if a vampire is "good or bad" I'll trust your judgment." I smiled as I said this, and placed my hand over his, which rested on my hip.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and picked me up. Whistling over his shoulder, a silver and black blur ran past us, with us following, leaving behind everything I knew.
