Pierre showed us the car the girls souped up for us. The job Garren and I were suppose to do... They surprisingly did a pretty good job, for girls. Stake launchers along the windows, super powerful headlights and search lights, attachable spiked hubcaps, and holy water cannons in the back. It still looked like a normal car, and Jason was admiring how they did not kill the paint job on the vigilante mobile he so proudly put on... I guess half a year ago.
"Thank you so much from saving me from Carol. I forgot how much of a pain she was, I miss it." Jason said, and hopped in the front.
Pierre faltered as he was going into the drivers seat.
"She is always a pain." I said.
"Yeah, I know." Pierre said. "Kali has thought about keeping her on chore duty for the next month to keep her out of our hair."
"That may be a good idea." I said.
That night I was awaken by Garren, and we sneaked into Jason's room. Garren aparently was up all night writing plans.
"This is really really weird." Garren said, and put like twenty loose pages on Jason's bed.
Jason yawned. "As weird as everything is, I'm starting to enjoy being here."
I nodded.
"I know." Garren sighed. "But there has to be something wrong. I mean our friends killed each other, and we had to bury them. We lived with Becka for a month, then supposedly got killed by a whole bunch of werewolves."
Jason sat there looking at the paper littering his bed. He picked up a sheet.
"So I have devised a few theories." Garren said. We looked at him. "First one of course is one of the realities we thought was real, is a dream. Second, some kind of weird time travel. Third theory is we are in a different dimension. And my last theory is Aliens and we are in the Twilight Zone."
We stared at him.
"Aliens?" Jason looked at him. "Aliens?!" he said again in ponder.
I also looked at Garren, "As plausible as the idea of Aliens are, how do they fit into our situation?" I asked.
Garren shrugged. "Any weird phenomenon is always blamed on Aliens and I am just joining the cliche."
"I do not remember being abducted." I said and smiled.
"I said it was a theory." Garren growled.
"It was a bad theory." Jason said. "I think I'd remember being probed no matter how many mind tricks they did to me."
Garren hit Jason with his papers. "Well do you have any theories?"
Jason frowned, "I still say I like it here. As weird as everything is."
I looked between them. "I personally think this is all a dream... or something."
They looked at me.
"I mean... when we were with Becka, I thought about Pierre so much that he came in my dreams. So this could be just a huge collaborated dream."
They stared at me with big eyes.
"What?" I looked around feeling something was wrong.
"Like how?" Jason asked.
Garren looked at both of us.
"Like conversations... about wars... I think." I said.
"Me too." Jason said.
Garren looked nervous. "I had nightmares about Kali." he admitted. "While I was awake. They were about her wanting to destroy something."
I laid down across Jason's bed. "Wars and destroying things. You really wonder what is real and what is not now-a-days." I said.
Jason sat there, "Well reality was me being a vampire for almost three years."
"Which reality seems more real?" Garren asked.
"Me not being a vampire. And Vampires not existing." Jason said.
Garren sighed.
"We all wish that was a reality. But then we wouldn't have met Kali, or had any of the adventures we've had." I put into perspective.
There was a knock on the door. Pierre poked his head in looking around in surprise.
"Are you all awake?" he questioned out loud.
We nodded, and Garren sat on the papers.
"How come you are up?" Jason asked.
"I haven't been able to sleep." he said, and walked in. "Probably getting used to sleeping peacefully since you guys are well again."
"Or the wedding in a few months." Jason said in thought.
"Yeah." he gave a small smile. "What are you guys up to?" he looked at us.
"Just talking." Garren said and shrugged.
"About anything in particular?" he asked, obviously he thought something was up.
"Dreams." Garren said.
Pierre frowned.
We looked at each other. Maybe we should tell him.
"We have been just discussing the nightmare we had while we were out." I said. "It was the same."
Pierre looked between us. "The same?"
Jason nodded.
He frowned again, "That would only make sense between you two and Kali." he pointed to Jason and Garren.
Jason nodded again.
"What was it about?" Pierre asked.
Jason spoke up, "Kali went all vampy and turned you. You both kinda died, and then we lived with Becka for a bit."
Pierre looked at him, then at the rest of us.
"Serious? The exact same dream?" he asked.
We nodded.
"Do you think it's some weird premonition?" He looked worried.
We sat there stunned. Jason glared at Garren.
"No..." Garren said. "I thought it was aliens... or dreams."
"Premonitions are dreams. It's just really weird you would all have one... and the same one." he said, looking beside himself. "Sounds like we should worry, if you are predicting the future."
"Are you going to post-pone the wedding?" Jason asked.
Pierre looked worried, "We should talk to everyone about this, or at least Kali."

(Pierre's POV)
I walked back to my room shared with Kali in a trance like state. Kali going full vampire... anything could be possible. I mean, everyone else retained some vampire traits and abilities. I guess Kali could. I slipped into bed and Kali woke up lightly and smiled at me before drifting back to sleep. I watched her sleep for a bit, shaking my head of those stupid thoughts.
I woke up with a start. A very old album of Korn was coursing though the walls of the mansion. I looked at the clock and it was six in the morning.
"Up up up!" called the girls. I groaned and walked out to look at the situation.
"Hey Pierre!" Kali jumped toward me and smiled. "You can go have breakfast if you want. Today is a fitness test for the guys. We are making sure they are alright, and up to par."
"Carol put you up to this?" I asked. This had to be one of her games.
"No." she said seriously. "You guys never gave me time to rest."
I stared at her.
"Well don't get too mad, or get killed." I said and kissed her forehead before wandering down to the kitchen.
I sat in the kitchen eating some blueberry pancakes. All I heard was thumping, screaming, swearing, and Metal albums shaking the house.
"Ow!" Garren yelled out over everything.
"Well move if you don't want to stay in bed!" Dru yelled back.
I sighed. I am going to have to set up a meeting with Kali and the guys.
I waited until the hardcore training was done. Garren was the first to fall through the kitchen door drenched in sweat.
"I don't remember Kali being this harsh before!" he said filling a glass with water.
Scott walked in and stole Garren's water, who gave him a death glare but got himself another glass. Jason walked in.
"Yep, I so missed Carol." he said and sat beside me panting.
I sat there and waited for the girls to come in. They marched in all dry and young; it still sometimes unnerved me how they have not aged.
"Okay big breakfast for you all!" Carol smiled and got the pancake mix, bacon, tomatoes, eggs, and bread.
I got up and looked at everyone. "Awesome, while you do that, I'll take the boys and Kali away for a bit." I said and ushered Kali out of the kitchen, the guys slowly filing behind us.
"Whats up?" Kali looked around.
"We need to have a talk." I said. I look at the guys, "They need to say something."
She turned to face them, her hands on her hips.
"What's up?" she said again and looked at them, worry flickering through her eyes.
Garren yawned and looked at Jason. "Maybe we should sit for this." Jason said.
"Why?" she looked a bit mad.
"It's a long story." Scott said.
"Can you give me a short version?" she asked.
Garren finally caught his breath, "During our coma thing... we had weird unexplainable dreams that were the same." he said. "They were about how you turned and killed Pierre, then killed yourself. In the end we lived with Becka for a bit."
Kali's look faltered.
"I... I did what?" she paled.
"You turned back into a Vampire." Garren said, trying to sound sympathetic.
"How... I mean... I am like... I took the cure!" she said, and added quietly. "Twice."
I jumped in, "It could have been a weird dream... caused by the illness." the guys looked at me.
Garren sighed, "I also learned through the dream... which is a true fact, that there cannot be two slayers."
She looked at him, "I am not a Slayer anymore. Becka told me."
Scott looked at the ground, "A slayer is a slayer until she is dead."
"Yeah, I know this." Kali said, now getting red in the cheeks. "I died."
"Well you are still standing..." Jason said and looked away too, as well as Garren.
"So? What are you trying to say?!" Kali looked at them. "This dream is telling you I'm going to kill?"
"We don't know." Garren said. He looked at her and bit his lip.
"We don't know which is real..." Jason said. "If you and Pierre have died... or you standing in front of us."
Kali's nose flared, "So you don't know if you are crazy or not?" she scoffed, "As believable as premonitions are, you are not capable to make them."
Jason looked up, "What about Drea?"
Kali blinked rapidly trying to process this name. It looked like she knew who Jason was talking about and paled.
"How do you know her?" she asked, in a guarded sense.
"She was the gypsy friend you told me about to help you and Pierre." he said.
Scott nodded in an agreement.
"It was that bad?" she said, barely a whisper. She pursed her lips and turned on a heel and ran.
I looked at the trio and ran after her.
"Kali wait!" I called out.
I grabbed her from behind and spun her.
"You are not leaving again!" I growled.
She growled back, "I have to talk to Drea!"
"Call her, but you are not leaving! I hate when I almost lose you over the stupid flings you have!" I said, my eyes bore into hers.
She stared at me, her eyes full of fire. "This is how I do things!" she said in a quiet angry voice. "You stay out of this." she broke my grasp and ran to our room.
I let out my breath slowly. I walked in.
"Kali..." I said in a defeated voice. "You do not know the whole story. Please calm down and stay."
She backed up.
"Stay away from me." she said, her voice failing to show she was actually mad at me. She looked me in the eyes. "They... they could be right."
I looked around and she rushed passed me.

(Jason's POV)
I heard her fast footsteps down the hall. Before she ran passed me I grabbed her and quickly dragged her into my room. I threw her onto the bed, and Scott snickered.
"Stop running for fuck sakes!" I growled at Kali. She stared up at me angrily behind her bangs. "You don't listen, and you react poorly. I swear woman, if you don't start behaving better you won't get married!"
She was breathing heavily.
"We are going to tell you exactly what is going on." Garren said.
"Just for you, our little teammate." Scott added.
"I do not need to hear the whole story!" she said and got up. Garren and Scott barred the door.
"Just sit, no more running." I said and stood in front of her. Not caring that she could, probably. get passed us.
She sighed but sat down with that death glare of hers.
"Good." I smiled.
"Now the story is, after beating Brian--"
"You guys got sick." Kali said, obviously not listening to us.
"You were all moody. Then one night we found that you had turned into a full vampire long enough to sire Pierre. We tried to reverse what you had done with the cure. We thought it was working... until he tried to kill you... multiple times. Then he went all evil on us and attack us with a mob of other vampires. In the end we won but we lost Caroline, and you brought Pierre back all bloody and still very evil.
You and I went to see Drea, and found a cure to restore his soul. But the injuries he sustained... killed him. Then you went off and committed suicide."
Her eyes softened slightly but they were now huge and glistening.
Garren took over the story.
"Then we lived alone, the five of us, for a few months before Becka found us. Ironically looking for a wedding invitation." he sounded a bit bitter, but continued. "We traveled with her back to America. The trip... was very weird. We were all having delusions about you and Pierre." he looked at her. "You seemed very troubled. Angry at everything. Being the Slayer and having people befriend you. It was painful to see."
Scott spoke up. "While you were going through that. Pierre told us that there is a war, and we should not come back." Garren and I nodded. "Then after meeting Jerry and Winnie, we were eaten by Werewolves."
Garren coughed, "Before that event though, I found a text that told me a slayer is a slayer until she is dead. And you were dead in that reality, but you still were talking... to me."
Kali sniffled, "And the girls?"
"They don't know anything about it, as far as we are concerned." I said.
"So.. that all happened while you were sick?" she looked so lost.
"That is what I want to believe." I said, and sat down beside her.
Garren shook his head. "Therefore that is the scariest dream ever, or it was a premonition." he looked at us. "Or... we are alive after being attacked by werewolves and this is all just a dream."
"Or a heaven." I said.
"I personally am just very confused about this." Scott said.
Kali frowned, "Me too!" she sighed, and sat silently before lifting her head up and looking at us. "You know what... I was trying not to talk about this... outside of Pierre and I, but since Brian uh died... There has been a large increase in vampiric numbers back in Paris. We think a war is finally happening. We kept it from the girls.. by speaking in your rooms. On top of that I am so torn. I am not the Slayer anymore, I have a wedding to actually have, and half my hunter team was out. It was VERY stressful while you guys were out."
We looked at her.
"And despite what you have told me, and thank you, perhaps I should pay Drea a visit." Kali gave us a half smile.
"I'm coming!" Garren and I replied together.
She and Scott blinked in confusion.
"When was the last time I invited you into my affairs?" she looked at us.
"Never..." Garren said and tried to open his mouth again.
"Exactly." she said and walked out.
I went after her, "How are you getting there?" I asked her.
"Bus!" we said together, and she turned around. "I hate you." she added and automatically let me tag along.
Carol just passed us looking confused, "You guys aren't having breakfast?"
Kali shook her head and kept walking.

A/N: Just something to randomly say. Pete and Ashlee got married? I have no clue if this is good news or irratating news. And if this will affect my writing? I doubt it.
I'm so happy I've been updating a bit more frequently, the energies have been flowing with me lately. lol
