-Audrey-

I rolled out of my bed and went into the kitchen to get a drink of water. I wasn't thirsty obviously since if I were I would've just left to hunt. I just drank water since it made me feel a bit human. I didn't feel confused in my new body. My new powers. My stronger senses. The magic I was unable to master when I was only a witch.

I was digging around my fridge trying to find a bottle of Poland Spring (for some reason there is a difference in taste) when I heard a small creek. I ignored it since the place always made strange sounds and I couldn't feel anyone's presence. I found a bottle in the vegetable crisper next to some very old tomatoes and closed the fridge. I was surprised to see a black cat with emerald green eyes sitting on top of my table, staring at me. How did it get in? There were no cats in New Mayhem that roamed into vampires homes. I then noticed something about the cat-it was hiding it's aura.

"Xavier."I said suddenly realizing who it was. The cat continued to stare at me making me wonder was it really Xavier so I unscrewed my bottle and splashed the cat with it. It hissed at me and suddenly Xavier stood there. His face, hair, and shirt were damp.

"That's called animal cruelty Audrey."Xavier said. I laughed relieved to see that he was still in one piece and gave him a hug. Then I punched him in the arm.

"Stop the abuse!"he said when I hit him.

"Where the fuck were you?"I asked.

"I was away."he said walking to the bathroom I followed him and saw him looking for a towel.

"Where's away?"I asked.

"In the bat cave. Where are your towels Audrey? Please tell me you still bathe."I went over to a cabinet and grabbed him a large blue one.

"Seriously Xavier where were you?" I watched him untie his hair and dry it. He mumbled something. "What?"

He finished drying his hair and tied it back into a slick ponytail."I said that I told you I was in the Bat Cave." he threw the towel back at me and left the bathroom. I dropped the towel and followed him back into my kitchen.

"Where were you?"I repeated as he started to dig through my fridge.

"The Bat Cave."he said as he pulled out a bag of white grapes. "These clean?" I nodded knowing that he wouldn't answer my question seeing that he had answered the same thing every time I did ask. He sat down and pulled out a seat next to him patting it, telling me to sit down. I did.

"Has Michel said anything about Dominqiue?"he asked after he ate a few grapes.

"No."I replied.

"Really?" he sounded surprised. "Has Michel said anything to you at all?"

"Yeah."

He popped another grape in his mouth and then asked,"Like what?"

"Like not to look for you and things like that." I took a grape from the bag.

"He hasn't asked you anything on Dominique?"he asked again.

"Nope."

"Strange..."

"Yep."I took another grape and we ate in silence for a while.

"When do you want to continue training for the kill?"Xavier finally asked.

"Don't know."I said.

"Are you even used to the changes yet?"he asked.

"Not really."I replied.

"We'll start tommorow then." he said. I nodded. He took the bag and shook it. There was only one left.

"You have it." I said and he ate it.

Xavier got up and threw the empty bag away. He then took my hand and gently pulled me up and looked at me for a second. For a second I thought he was going to kiss me, not like the quick peck we had shared at what seemed so long ago. But I was disappointed when he just kissed my forehead and whispered a goodbye. Once again he was gone.

A/N-Whee more updates yay. More updates but does anyone think my writing has been worst then usual? If so I apologize. I've been feeling a bit bleh lately. Sorry if bleh is an unclear word but that's the only word I can think of hehe.
