"Rise and shine beautiful!"

   Doesn't that women ever sleep on a Saturday?  It's seven in the morning, and she wants me up.  This woman is a psycho.  "I'll come down in a few, okay?"

            "Okay!"

   A few hours!  I think I'll go back to Midnight tomorrow.  I need to get out of this house! These people don't sleep, and they make their beds every morning!  It's disgusting.  And to top it all off, Bruja's going to be pissed off because I didn't watch last night.  I may be the leader of Crimson, but there are 39 other house leaders out there looking, like they couldn't stand to loose me for one night.  

   I get up, shut the curtains, and get dressed, figuring I'll go see Nathaniel.  Walking down the street in all black in the middle of summer looks kind of suspicious, but it's the official Bruja uniform.  I get to Nathaniel's, only to find he isn't home, or he's sleeping in the cellar again, so I stomp my feet in our secret pattern, and take a seat in the parlor.  After ten minutes, and no sigh of Nathaniel, I figure he's either in Midnight, or off in New Mayhem, most likely in the Bruja Night Club.  I'd go there, but I'm really not in that much of a rush to see him right now.

   Walking out of Nathaniel's house, I realize that I haven't eaten in the last, oh; I'd say, 16 hours would be around the right time frame.  Anyways, I walk down the street to the bakery on the corner, order like 3 plain bagels with strawberry cream cheese, and just to piss the people off, I say one bagel is too small and demand a replacement.  After almost getting kicked out of the store, I go back to Nathaniel's, where I am I still alone.  This is extremely odd, considering it's noon.  No vampire is crazy enough to walk out in the middle of the day.  He's probably in the basement again.  He's always cranky after he wakes up if he sleeps down there.  Maybe, for once in my life, I'll be nice and go down there and get him.

   Creeping down the stairs into Nathaniel's cellar would be very creepy for any normal human to do.  "Nathaniel?"  I feel like I'm talking to myself, because no one is talking back.  Isn't this the life?  "Nathaniel?!  Don't make come all the way down there!  Okay, fine, you made me."  Looking around Nathaniel's basement was just about all there was to do, do to the fact that there is nothing else down there.  Vampires are very picky when it comes to keeping their homes clean… Does this seem weird to anyone else but me?   O well.

   When I finally come to the conclusion that Nathaniel isn't in the basement, I heard something moving overhead.  If he's been up there the whole time, I may very well have to kill him.  But why would he be upstairs?  Especially in the kitchen, the one place in the house where there are no triple layer black velvet curtains?  This makes absolutely no sense what so ever.  O WELL!!!!

   I walk back up the very badly made stairs, and took the long way to the kitchen, circling through the parlor, dining area, billiard room, and the walk-in pantry, even though it was more a walk-through the pantry, but that's beside the point.  I crawl into the pantry and look to see who could possibly be in the kitchen.  I jump up in fighting stance at the sight of a tall, dark, complety covered figure standing in the kitchen, for some odd reason washing dishes…
