Clu walked to the hotel roof, looking around. He couldn't see anyone, but he knew that they would be there soon. He remembered that Fiona once said the spirits never back down one a promise.

" WHERE ARE YOU??" He shouted. He heard the wind pick up behind him, and a black cloud began to form on the wall. He backed away from it cautiously, as a black blob flew out from it, and landed opposite Clu, taking form of a human.

" Brent?" Clu whispered, looking at the vampire.

" A smart one aren't you?"

I gasped as I saw Brent's face. Shooting up in bed I tried to catch my breath, all of a sudden cold. I pulled the sheets closer to me, closing my eyes to try to calm down. I couldn't have just seen what I thought… it's impossible. Brent's gone. And Clu would never be that stupid… never in a million years!

" Fi?" I jumped hearing someone call me. Looking up, I saw Peter starring at me, walking into my room. " You ok? I heard you gasp…"

" I'm fine. Just a nightmare." I said, laughing nervously.

" You want to talk about it?" Peter asked, sitting on the edge of my bed. I opened my mouth to say something- more than anything I wanted to pour out everything to someone, to not be alone again, but something inside of me stopped me. Something inside of me was still unsure of Peter, he still made me feel nervous.

" It was just a nightmare… a silly one- the clowns were trying to attack me again."

" You really have to stop watching 'It.'" Peter laughed, shaking his head.

" Yeah, I know." I shrugged, grinning sheepishly. I pretended to yawn, hoping Peter would get the hint.

" Well… I'm going to go out for a while…" Peter trailed off, looking down. He was hungry… guess the steak wasn't enough… " Just rabbits and stuff… but I should be back by sunrise…"

" Be careful." I warned. No matter how much he made me nervous, I still loved him. " Don't get caught."

" I will." He promised, kissing me goodbye. For the first time in my life… I couldn't kiss back. I think he noticed, because he gave me a look. I smiled weakly, trying to pretend I was really tired. " Get some sleep… I'll see you later." He whispered, walking out of my room. I waited a few minutes before standing up, throwing my bathrobe on. Yeah, right, like I was really going to get more sleep. I crept down the stairs, trying not to wake anyone on my journey to the kitchen.

" You're going to have to do something sooner or later Clu." Kat whispered, and I stopped by the doorway.

" And what would you like me to do? What, am I supposed to come out and say it? You know how pissed off they would be."

" I can't keep lying to them." Kat hissed. " Clu… I can't keep doing this to him…"

" I'll try Kat. But… I can't promise anything." Clu said softly and I heard a chair slide on the floor. I quickly ran to the living room, crouching behind the couch. I saw Clu walk towards his room and sighed. What in the hell was going on in this house? I could hear Kat in the kitchen, sighing. After I heard Clu's door close, I stood, making my way once again to the kitchen. I yawned, hoping that I looked like I had just woken up.

" Hey Kat." I said, startling my friend. She looked up at me, horror across her face for a moment. " Couldn't sleep either?"

" Huh? Oh… nah, good book." She said, pointing to the book near her. " Just thinking about what I just read… you scared the crap out of me."

" Sorry."

" What about you? Couldn't sleep?" She asked, looking at me. I hesitated, I wanted to tell someone about the dreams, didn't I? I couldn't do this on my own, I knew that much. And Kat's always been straight with me… sure what just happened was a bit weird, but it was probably over something that happened this semester in college, nothing else.

" I had a nightmare."

" A nightmare?" Kat emphasized the 'A', looking at me, wide-eyed. " But I thought you were-"

" I thought I was too…" I sighed. " It was the weirdest thing… Clu was on this hotel roof, and he was calling out to someone… then this blob appeared and it turned into Brent…"

" Oh Fi…" Kat sighed, looking at me. " How long have you-"

" This is the first one." I cut her off, answering her question.

" You want some tea?" She asked, looking at me. I nodded, and she stood, taking the pot out.

" It's so weird though… why am I getting these dreams? I mean Peter told me Brent sent them to me to freak me out-" I trailed off as Kat almost dropped one of the cups. " Glad to see I'm not the only one who had that reaction…" I grinned, continuing. " But Brent's dead now… he can't send me dreams from down there, right?"

" I'll bet your just a little anxious Fi… it's been a year." Kat said softly, sitting back down, placing a cup of tea in front of me.

" Your probably right… Clu would never in a million years communicate with him… especially after what happened."

" Yeah…" Kat said quietly, tracing the mouth of the cup with her finger. I glanced at my cup as well, debating whether or not to tell her about my feelings towards Peter. " What's wrong Fi? I know the dream couldn't have bothered you that much…"

" It's nothing." I shrugged. " Just… love problems, you know?"

" Peter?"

" I don't know if I feel the same for Peter as I did before." I said softly, looking down. I feel like he's changed… he's not the same guy I used to love…" I hesitated before saying anything else. " I… it's like he's some stranger… and something inside of me afraid of him now." I said softly. " Did you… have you noticed it? Or am I the only-"

" I've noticed a little change in Peter." Kat said, looking down again. " Just a tiny change… I know what you mean though… lately he's been making me feel nervous too."

" Good." I breathed a sigh of relief, glad that I wasn't the only one.

" Maybe it's just that we never really knew him… I mean we've only really become friends a year ago… it takes a lot longer to really know someone."

" You're probably right." I said, sipping my tea.

" Hey strangers, having a girls party without telling me?" Annie asked, rubbing her eyes. She walked to the coffee pot, pouring herself some hot water.

" You know it." Kat laughed. For a second, I thought she almost looked happy to see someone else walk into the room. " What's wrong? Couldn't sleep either?"

" Some big mouths woke me up."

" We did?" I asked, smiling sheepishly. " I'm sorry."

" It's ok… I'm used to being up this early anyway…" Annie smiled, sitting down next to me. " So what are you guys talking about?"

" Just your normal girl stuff." I grinned.

" Oh! Gossip??"

" Not really." Kat said, shrugging.

" I think we need some gossip." Annie said, looking back and forth between us.

" WOULD YOU THREE GET SOME DAMN SLEEP?" Carey yelled and we all laughed.

" Let's go upstairs before Grumpy has a conniption." Kat suggested, grinning. We all stood, taking our tea cups with us as we walked to Kat's room, obviously the largest of the upstairs rooms.
