Disclaimer: I do not own Christopher, Nikolas, Sarah, or Nissa. I wish I did because that would be so kewl and I would actually make some new friends.

Lily's Story

The trio made thier way over to Lily's car. It was late at night, well considering it was around 5 a.m. it was early morning. The darkness still prevailed over the sky and it was hard to see where the car exactly was.

"Hmmm... I thought I had parked the car over here," said Lily scratching her head as if it was going to help her rembember.

"What does it look like?" said Christopher looking at all the cars that had been parked on the side street.

"It is a cherry red '97 Mitsubishi Eclipse."

"There it is," said Nissa pointing to it.

"Heh...silly me. Thanks Nissa."

They got to the car and made their way to her house. Lily looked a little excited to have someone over. She didn't have any friends unless you counted the many creatures confined in the texts. She was an outcast who buried her nose in spell books and her only goal was to be a great witch. A simple creature that she was but still no one really cared for her.

The car had stopped and Christopher tried to help Nissa out of the back seat. Lily had opened the door and motioned them to come up the stair case to the top floor. From the outside the house looked like an average Victorian but it certainly didn't reflect the inside. When Christopher and Nissa walked in, they saw the blood red paint cover the walls and black carpet devoured the floors. There were relects, beakers full of potions, and amulets everywhere and not to mention the numerous books that flooded the shelves.

"So do you live here all by your lonesome?" asked Nissa still looking around trying to soak up the atmosphere.

"Yes...my parents were wiped off the face of the Earth. They had both died in a fire that was lit by a bloodthirsty mob in the middle ages," said Lily motioning them to take a seat in the sitting area.

"Oh...I am sorry," said Nissa as she sat in a white palm shaped chair.

"Wait. Did you say middle ages? That was over two hundred years ago!" said Christopher as he sat on the couch.

"Heh...I guess my little secret was given away by that. My father was a vampire so that makes me half vampire."

"A half vampire that studies magic. Heh who would have guessed?" said Nissa as she chuckled a bit.

"What is wrong with that? I never asked to be a vampire I aws just born like that. What is your excuse?"

Lily had known that Christopher was a vampire when she first met him. He had the darkest eyes she had ever seen and saw the immense power he contained. She knew Nissa was one because no one could have lived that long especially not a human.

"Just a curse that fell into our laps thats all," said Christopher as he finally broke the creepy silence.

"I never met a half vampire before. Can you do everything that a full vampire can do?" asked Nissa showing her interest.

"Yes except for one thing. I don't have the quick healing power and if I was slit by anything silver I would die instantly, even if the cut was a flesh wound," said Lily as she went to the kitchen to get her guests something to eat.

Nissa whispered over to Christopher who had been admiring a book, "she seems like a good person. I think we are safe here for the night."

"Me too."

Lily returned with a tray of chocolate cookies and glasses of milk. Nissa and Christopher didn't touch the newly prepared snack. Their craving for blood was growing but they tried their best to hold it back. Nissa and Christopher haven't had a drink of blood since the night before they left.

Lily noticed they hadn't touched the food so she went back to the kitchen and this time she returned with mugs.

"Go ahead and drink.I forgot you two were vampires for a second," said Lilyas she began to drink from the mug.

The mug consisted of pigs blood. It was cold but it had to do for the time being.

All three of them inhaled the blood and then Nissa glanced at the window and thought she saw something.

"Well I think we should all go to bed now," and with that said Lily reached for the sleeping bags that were in the closet.

"Here. I will be right back with some clothes for you to sleep in."

"Thank you," said Nissa.

"Don't worry about me I am fine the way I am right here," said Christopher as he slouched down and fell asleep.

Lili left and returned within ten mintues with clothes for Nissa.

"Here. They should fit you. You can change in the bathroom it is down the hall, second do on the left. I am going to bed and if you need me, my room is downstairs. Goodnight."

"Thanks, goodnight," said Nissa as she made her way to the bathroom.

As Nissa got dressed she thought to herself, I hope nothing happens to us during the night. I think that Christopher likes Lily he kept looking at her every so often. Well, at least he is doing better then he was before. I hope we can repay Lily for giving us a place to hide out.I really don't understand why she doesn't have any friends. She is so nice and generous and I hope we get to know her better.

Nissa then made her way to the sleeping bag and drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile...downstairs in Lily's bedroom...

"I am glad that I can help them and I think we are becoming close friends," said Lily as she made her way to her bed.

"That is nice to hear," said a picture on her wall.

The picture was of her grandmother who had been trapped in it since Lily was three.

"Goodnight grandma," said Lily as she turned off the light and shut her eyes.

"Sweet dreams my darling."
