Wow I didn't think that I'd actually update twice in one day! Aren't you people lucky! Ok ok. I shall continue

Where we left off:
"So, what is your power?" Zach being the first to ask the one question on all their minds.
"Well.." she said smiling for the first time…
Chapter 2
"Holy…" gasped Ethan "are those real!"
"Yea, but don't worry I'm not about to suck your blood or anything." Evee stated while laughing
"I'm a hybrid vampire. Genetically modified. So basically I can walk around in the sun no probs, have retractable canines though they are still slightly longer than normal, the strength and speed of a vampire, the ability to heal small wound, and flight only with my wings though." She wondered if they'd be scared of her. Having powers like this gets mixed reactions. Suddenly it became twenty questions everyone asking her something different though none seemed scared. They may not be afraid' thought Evee 'I may finally find friends'. They slowed down and Layla decided to ask what was obviously on everyone's mind.
"What about the blood sucking to stay alive thing then?"
"I suppose you could call that a perk of being born this way instead of created. Being born means that I am in fact alive where as your every day, garden variety vampire is dead therefore needing new blood to stay alive. I do not. But in being alive I do not have the immunity of a vampire."
"You said you had wings. I didn't think vampires had wings?" this being the first time that Warren had spoken up since they had arrived.
Laughing, Evee lead them out into her backyard. Standing a slight distance away, bowing her head massive black wings 'grew' from her shoulder blades. The others looked on in what could only be described as awe as Evee lifted herself off the ground a few feet and landed again.
"To answer your question. No. Vampires don't have wings. Whoever it was that modified me added that in as well."
"Wow. May I?" asked Warren. Everyone always wanted to touch.
"Sure!"
Just as everyone was leaving, Will remembered what his mum had said.
Calling back "Hey Evee u want to come to mine for dinner?" whilst pointing at his house.
"We'd all love you to and this way you wouldn't have to cook"
"Haha. Yeah sure, why not! Just give me a few seconds to go get changed" Evee called while running back inside only to come out literally a few seconds later in a long black uneven skirt and corset.
"Benefit of vampire speed" shrugging her shoulder Evee continued on to the house Will had pointed out as his own, leaving the others to catch up.
Dinner at the Strongholds was an interesting event to say the least. With all of the gang there plus Will parents, put simply it was loud, Evee was surprised that one of them hadn't started throwing food yet, or lost her voice with the amount of questions being asked. There were always two questions that she hated answering. 'Who were your real parents?' and 'where were you born?' so far she was lucky enough to have not been asked. When dinner was over movies were announced in the living room. Apparently with this group Friday night meant movie night and with the topic being horror how could she pass it up. Feeling slightly overwhelmed from all the attention she quickly went outside for fresh air and to help clear her mind, unaware of being followed.
Warren approached her quietly. He had been waiting to talk to her all night, perplexed by this beautiful creature that had suddenly sprung into his life.
"Watcha doing out here?" he said quietly though still managing to startle her. He was the last person she had expected would come out.
"Ohh I just came out to get some air." Evee stated somewhat unconvincingly. Warren laughed quietly to himself.
"What about you?" she asked
"I just came out to see if you were alright. Mind if I ask you a question?" she knew it would come so she just nodded.
"Earlier you said your guardians died, what about to your parents?"
Evee thought about not telling him but something told her to trust him. Tell him. She sighed and began her story.
"I was born on a planet called Cal mah, which means sanctuary, my mother lived there and my father…well.. He wasn't exactly the nicest person, but my mother loved him. He was a powerful man. His scientists were working on genetic modification, something to do with creating an army, you know how it goes, so he had my mum bitten by a vampire. Fast forward nine months and there's me. Mum died giving birth to me. And well 4 years later here I was. Can't tell you how though. I'd have to kill you." Evee finished laughing sadly
"Did you say another planet?" asked warren in disbelief
"Yeah I did. Ever heard of a Stargate?"
"Isn't that a TV show or something?" confusion written all over his face
"That's just a cover up. It actually exists. That's how I got here. "'Rescued' its not safe for me to stay there. That's why I was sent to live in Australia. Archaeologist friends of Daniel Jackson, when they died I came back here. Pretty unbelievable huh?" deciding it was time for a change Evee directed the conversation to Warren.
"They're a lively bunch," she said pointing to the house where it sounded like some sort of play fight had broken out.
"Yeah. Once they befriend you, you won't be able to get rid of them either" warren stated with a smile.
"Guess I'm stuck with you guys then!" laughing she stood
"Perhaps we better go back inside. Thanks for listening." She said touching him slightly on the arm as she walked back inside, Warren not far behind. Once safely inside the house, the two were ambushed by everyone else to make a decision on which movie they were to watch first the grudge (Japanese version) or the Mothman Prophesies.
"The grudge" both Evee and Warren said at the same time. Looking at each other, one would have been able to see the slight smile on Warren's face. After much effort and several pillow fights everyone was seated. Will and Layla on the three-seater couch, Warren and Evee on the two seater, magenta in Zach's lap in a bean bag and Ethan on the floor. By mid movie a popcorn/ lets tickle Evee fight had broken out, the movie completely forgotten. An hour and two pillow forts later the group were collapsing asleep on the floor.
