I woke up feeling fully rested and happy. The sun had apparently set already as I laid in bed looking at the window and saw no source of light emanating from it. I looked at my phone and pressed the key to unblock the screen to look at the time. 7 pm.

I've slept so much! I was obviously so tired. I wondered what my next steps would be in the investigation. After a while of internal debating, I got up and went downstairs to cook something up. I have been eating so little lately with all this stress and commotion I had probably had lost some weight already. It was not that I didn't need to lose a few pounds, but I was also very proud of my body. I had a curvy body, was not chubby, nor skinny.

After debating for a while I decided to start boiling some pasta. While the pasta was cooking I went to the bathroom to take a shower and get dressed. I then brushed my teeth, texted my friends Joy and Rita to let them know I am alive and well, and proceeded to feed my rat some food, and changing his water.

I came back downstairs to the kitchen and prepared some meat to grill. Turning on the tv of the living-room I proceeded to grill the chicken.

On the news there was nothing about the Fellowship of the Sun case from the other day. It had suddenly disappeared, as if even the humans themselves are trying to cover up. I guess that at the end of the day, no one likes to see war. Of course there will always be limited souls that will attack vampires, and vampires that will retribute the human's kindness. I wondered if the Fellowship of the Sun story had had its end or I would hear from It again. Without Steve, they were like ants without a queen. Could they get a new queen or was the whole society to perish?

After grilling I sat down on the couch eating – I really felt like a deserved this alone time and a good meal.

Working around vampires had revealed to be very stressing and time-consuming. My schedules were all changed now, I never knew the time, and my brain had days and nights all confusing. Fortunately I was managing with the exams and the grades so far.

Half way through my meal, I felt full and so did my Sam, which begged successfully for a bit of pasta. There is a knock on the door and I put my plate down and start to walk towards the door.

Why don't I have time for myself? I complain to myself.

I open the door to find Eric and Nora outside. I smile and promptly invite them in my house.

"Hi. Welcome" I greet stepping aside.

Eric surprisingly hugs me out of nowhere. "I don't know what you did. Or how you did it. And I don't care. But Godric is home and I have never seen him so happy. He is unharmed. I can never thank you enough. You have save my maker two times already. Ask anything of me and I shall not fail you." He said after releasing. He never took his eyes from mine.

I looked at Nora which was giving me a very warm smile. "I make his words my own I owe you everything Joana". Nora said placing her right hand on my left shoulder.

"You owe my nothing. Godric is my friend. I only did what I needed to do." I said.

"Still, here is our numbers. Call anytime. One of us will help." Eric said handing me his Fangtasia business card, where I could see both their personal numbers hand-written down on top of the card numbers.

"Thank you. So much" I said accepting it.

"We will leave you now. Nora will go back to where she came from, so if you get into trouble, dial for Eric." Eric said with a smirk.

Back to his real self.

With that they disappear into the sky.

I could never get used to that. I thought, closing the front door and returning to my cold meal. I check my phone and spend a few minutes on the phone with my parents. After talking about normal everyday activities and events, like the neighbor's dog having destroy the roses of my parents backyard I felt really relaxed.

I decided to take the night for myself. And I wondered why Godric had kept a secret my successful trial on him. I would certainly obtain my answers soon, so I just let that out of my mind. I knew these things had to be approached in a very structured way.

I realized I haven't had fun in a while. Not parties, no fun, no nothing. I decided to go for a short job near the house. No use in getting flaccid from so much sitting around the books and the lab.

I went upstairs to dress a more comfortable clothes and bra to run. Put on my jogging shoes and went outside and jogged for half an hour. After that, I took a quick shower, dressed my PJ's and went to my room to my computer to have some social time. I talked on Facebook to some colleagues, and I also found the time and will to study for my final examinations. Overall, I used this night to just enjoy being an 18 year old.

I really missed my roommates and a full house. There was always someone to talk to and laugh with. Though I was very independent when I needed to, I also enjoyed the company of friends. And being in a new country is always very lonely, so this made it even more difficult.

Soon it was midnight and I felt like I had been awake for days and not hours. I was not so rested after all!

Not long after checking my emails I went to bed again and fell asleep. A new day would come soon with lots of interesting things to do.
