"It's alright Jack, now just go back and tell them that you're not going to be pushed around this year. Believe me, it works on people with that low of self-esteem." Jazz smiled at her nephew and patted him on the back. "I'm so proud that you got into Clemson, but remember, the social skills are half of the education."

Jack smiled up at his aunt and suddenly a strange feeling came to mind, "I guess next time I see you, there's going to be a new member of the household."

Annie chomped down on a fresh toasted bagel with honey smeared across the top, then turned her attention to a plate of fresh kiwi and pineapple; honestly, it was like being in heaven! The food was better than she'd ever imagined it could be, the fruit sweet and juicy, the vegetables crisp and succulent, and the breads were always soft and warm from having just come from the oven. That was when she first noticed Reynolds, he was tall and very effeminate, but he had extremely odd eyes.

"Hey…I'm Annie DuVale, and you-"

"I'm Andy…well, everyone calls me that but my real name is Reynolds…or just Rey." He ran one thin hand through very long, very black and straight hair.

"Cool…"Annie popped a grape into her mouth, it was a muscodine, but had a faint tinge of gold on the top from a fungus that made the fruits sweeter, "I didn't see you at the workout session yesterday, are you part of a different group or are we just divided by how long we've been here?"

"Different group," Reynolds muttered and plucked a red strawberry from the table, savoring the taste before spitting out the stem and leaves. "If Mr. Masters likes your style enough and you prove to be smarter than your average bear, he might let you join."

"So it's like a club?"

"A private club," he growled and cocked Annie an evil looking smile, "And it's fun as hell, I'd like to see a couple more people in it as well."

"And-" Annie choked and coughed, cutting off her words, waving away Reynolds concerned look with a hand. She would never tell him that the reason she had choked was the small stream of frozen breath coming from her mouth in a horrific reminder of her ghost powers.

Is he a ghost! She studied him silently as she sipped a glass of water to help soothe the rawness that now ran all the way up her throat, or is he a halfa…and is that what Vlad is up to?
