-Chapter 9-

I spent the morning trying to move things with my new found powers but it went through the objects. The annoying thing was it took a lot of concentration to find the lights, if to find them at all.

I stopped the glow because I started to get a headache. I jumped up and bounced around the house looking for Pierre, the one who must be the most upset at me.

I found him reading a comic book, and I interrupted by asking sweetly, "You mad at me?"

He kept reading without looking up.

"Oh come on, it worked, I'm healed, and I'm not a living dead! Sweet loophole." I said, putting a hand on my hip.

He kept staring at his page.

I rolled my eyes, "You can't be mad at me. Friends should support friends' decisions that do not hurt anyone." I threw out at him, smiling in my head.

"You still didn't answer my question." he said from behind the comic.

I looked at the cover hiding his face, "What question?"

"If you liked Jason." he said quietly, the comic coming down.

I tried to hold in my smile because it seemed like a serious matter. "Well I like him as a friend, and I trust him. If I didn't like him, he would not be here." I confessed. "And if I liked him more than a friend, I don't think I'd be here."

He raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean you wouldn't be here?"

"I would have ran away or have killed myself in fear. I still don't like vamps, I've just learned to tolerate Jason and befriend him." my nose wrinkling from the thought of blood.

"So are you sure?" he asked with nervousness in his voice.

I could smell the fear, "Yeah, I'm sure. Even if he came up to me with roses and a puppy, my views toward him would not change." I sighed to myself, realizing I was digging myself into a hole. "So is Collin still in jail?" I totally changed the subject.

"As far as we know."

"Okay then. So we are still cool?" I asked before leaving his room.

"Yeah."

I smiled and walked out.

--

I took a walk a few hours before dusk, it was my turn to wake up Jason for once, yay! I felt extremely sarcastic today. I made it to the police station and walked in. The same guard as the night before was there and he noticed me.

"Come to drop the charges missy?" he asked me.

I tried not to laugh, "Definitly not." I said. "I was just still wondering if he is still in holding and if I could talk to him."

"Yeah, he is, for a week or two more before his court date. In restraints by the way, for attacking a guard. I wouldn't want to talk to him, but I guess you can."

He put me in a room with glass separating one part from the other and a phone. I sat down in the chair, and Collin was thrown in wearing an orange jump suit, cuffs, and a guard with a taser walked in behind him. He looked up his anger dissolved to shock and he tried to look presentable. I laughed, only because I was safe on this side. I picked up the phone and so did he.

"Are you being held in a safe dark dank place?" I asked into the receiver.

"Well hello to you too." his voice said. I smiled at him. "And yes, thank you for being so concerned." I laughed harder.

"You are very unwelcome." I said. "So guess what I did?"

"I have a feeling I'm going to be told."

"Shown actually." I closed my eyes to find the lights and opened them. I looked at Collin who was glowing grey, I glanced at the guard who was all yellow. I pushed my glow past the glass toward Collin and slowly pushed him back on his chair. He looked at me in surprise. I smiled.

"You found it." he smiled.

"Well yeah... how did you know it would be this?" I asked.

"Your energies are immense. You are more impressive than I thought." He stared at me, giving me chills.

"Okay..." I said, now wanting to leave.

"Who turned you?" he looked into my eyes and I looked away.

"No one." I said, looking at the phone.

"You did something."

"Yeah I did."

"What?" he asked sounding interested.

"Loophole." I said, finally looking at him.

"Jason." he spat.

I smiled ear to ear. "Now that we are on the same page now. I'll see you in court mister." I hung up the receiver and buzzed myself out of the room.

--

I opened Jason's coffin and looked down at him. I've never seen him sleep before and today was no different because he wasn't asleep, since he was vampire. I left and went to wait for instruction in the living area with the guys.

"Where did you go a few hours ago?" Scott asked.

"A long walk. I was thinking what was up with me." I answered.

"You forgot your phone again." he said.

"It wasn't on, but I had it." I said.

"Don't do that again." he said.

"Yeah, all the Dandies except Collin were set loose again." Garren said.

I smiled. "So that is what we are doing?"

"If Jason gives us clearance." Scott said.

"Cool. I can see if these serges work."

Garren looked at me. "I still don't get what you mean." he said in curiosity.

"Well I see glowing lights around myself and you guys sometimes. And my light can reach into others, and I guess it's like a longer arm or whatever." I tried to explain.

"You can see auras?" Pierre asked in clarification.

I looked at him, "I guess...?"

Jason walked in. "Everyone ready?"

Garren held up his hand and looked at me, "Are you sure you know how to work these new powers?"

I looked at him, "I know the just of them, and they don't feel like they are going to explode in my face. I have to pay attention or they don't work." I said.

"Okay."

"Now we are ready." I chimed in.

I sat in the back of the car.

"Kay kay." I said. "I wanna try something." I said to Pierre and Scott. I concentrated in the dark until the car was alight with unseen energies. I pushed my green and grey out to Scott, my green touched his blue. I tried willing my energy to lift his arm but it was not working. "Do you feel anything?" I asked him.

"Tugging, why is that you?" he asked.

"I think so. I'm trying to lift your arm." I said trying again, and it still didn't work. "It's not working..." I growled.

"Maybe you can't do that?" Scott offered.

"Maybe." I said sadly.

We got out of the car and looked around. I was finally finding this all boring, until I saw a soft glow near us. Maybe we are being ambushed.

"You are going to regret what you did to us." A short dandy walked from the shadows.

We looked at him.

"I rather think you are going to regret being on this planet." I said.

"What do you want?" Jason yelled.

"He wants her when he gets out. And that is what he will get, and you'll all regret it." He said, obviously lost without his leader.

I accidentally made eye contact with him and our energies met. I swiftly punched the air, sending him into a building. He slid down onto the ground.

"Well he won't get far, especially with me by his side." I yelled at the unconscious vamp.

"That does come in handy." Pierre said.

I went up and dusted the vamp, "It does, doesn't it?"

--

I begged Jason to let me do patrol on my own on countless accounts before the court day Collin had. That day was bothering me, why hadn't he just poof gone or whatever and like reeked vengeance on me and the guys a long time ago? What is he trying to pull? There is the small chance though he is being a model Dandy despite he is a conniving Vampiric bastard. I was really hoping that was the case when I went to the evening court time to make a stupid appearance.

I was laughing my ass off when the judge said he was innocent. I was really trying not to go into hysterics, but it was not working. Tears poured down my face. I knew he had no control over me but he was extremely creepy.

He walked up to me and smiled in my face.

"I'm getting a restraining order." I growled back to his smile.

He made a pouty face, "Ooh."

"Then I'll kill you." I pushed myself to smile.

He tsked me and walked out a free demon into the night. I was so thinking of smashing the judge repeatedly against the wall. But I couldn't... though I could run after Collin and kick his lily white ass... though he may have done that poof thing and left. I ran out anyways, and he was gone.

I swore under my breath and phoned the guys to pick me up. I started to walk, because I knew they were going to be awhile.

"Hello Love." Collin said, walking in front of me, blocking the path.

"Fuck off." I said.

"Love to, but I have the small problem of not having you." he bit his lip.

I started to wish my powers would work under these circumstances of being pressured so I can't think of the serges. "Yeah that is really not going to happen." I said.

"I'd like to think otherwise."

"Again, I can--"

"Push me down." He laughed. "You don't know your powers yet, so you are not a big threat. Plus you don't have any weapons on you."

I frowned. "That wasn't what I was going to say."

"It might have well been." He said, standing beside me. "Now shall we walk and talk?"

"No, you bit me." I said, backing off.

He looked at me. "Yeah, there is no point on biting you love. You are already tied to that Jason boy."

I made a face.

"Care to join me?" he asked crooking his arm invitingly.

"I'm being picked up, I'd rather not be seen with you." I said still shying away.

"That can easily be fixed." he said.

Not sure what to do, I stood in my spot. "You can walk on your own." I said.

"I could but I'd really like the company." he smiled.

"The court room is just right over there with cops. I can start screaming and you'd probably be in a lot of trouble." I said, my confidence shot.

"On the contrary you have nothing against me."

"You bit me." I said.

He sighed. "Instead of arguing and wasting precious time, we could talk. We are both unarmed--"

"You have teeth." I pointed out. "I don't even have a pen, it's not fair enough to talk."

He picked up a piece of concrete and broke it off into a sharper piece, he put it in my hand. "I think that will suffice. A rock. The second most primitive thing next to teeth."

I looked at the heavy 'rock' in my hand, then looked at him. "You are weird."

He smiled.

"Fine, we'll sit and talk. No walking off." I said sitting on the curb. He sat beside me, a bit too close.

"Why wouldn't you want to join us anyway? With the power we have and such..." he asked me looking at his hands.

I looked at him. "That is why I want to kill vampires, because they have the power."

"So you do not want power?" he asked looking at me in a new light.

"Nope."

"Yet you found how to get your power, when you do not want 'Power'..." He mulled over.

I said nothing, once again I dug myself into a hole.

He chuckled to himself, catching what I did. "And you have never thought why you can tell a vampire from a mortal? Never had you wondered if you were meant to be with us?"

I gaped, before composing myself again. "Intuition? Natural selection? You guys smell?"

His chuckle morphed into a laugh. "You are one odd child."

"I try, but really. Dude, Collin, where the hell did you get that I was 'meant to be with you?' That is a very gross thought, blood doesn't taste good." I said, crumbling the rock a bit in my hand.

He was still smiling which was scary. "You are special, and should be with others who can help you. Seriously, can those hunters really see your potential, or if they can... could they sacrifice things to make you greater? I do not think so. You want the power, and if you come to me, you will definitly get it."

My phone rang, and I picked it up. "Hi." I waited a bit. "If I had cab money I would... Well it's not my fault that I was relying on you... No you are dumb... I'm fucking serious, I'm not walking... I don't care, get your ass over here... Who cares... well you are wrong... screw you, I have nothing. If I am found on the road dead the next morning or whatever I will haunt you in the next world!" I screamed into the receiver, closing the phone swiftly. I sniffed and calmed down, then stared at the yellow line on the road. "I could go and ask the cops..." I said out loud to myself.

"No ride?" I heard a smile on Collin's voice.

I growled.

"I'll bring you, if you'll hear me out and at least consider." he said, I could feel him staring at me.

"You know where they live?" I asked after brooding over my predicament.

"You could tell me."

"No. It's okay." I got up and dusted myself off. I threw the rock at him before walking up to the court house.

I was dropped off, thanks to the friendly neighborhood police force, now thinking I'm a paranoid freak. I looked around trying to find any vampiric energies besides my own and Jason's before I burst into the house seething.

"Basterds, all of you!" I screamed into the house. "He won, he's out and about, and he was stalking me. We need a fucking code name, like snake, because I couldn't say anything on the stupid phone because he was right behind me!" my voice getting hoarse.

"Fuck." Jason said from his chair.

I stared Jason down. "You owe me for not picking me up. I waited an hour or whatever waiting for the cops to finish their paper work before I got to go home."

Jason rolled his eyes.

"I mean it Mister Vampire!" I said, and stomped off to my room to think.

This was the second stupid time I voluntarily talked to Collin. Is this becoming a pattern? I snarled at myself for being dumb.

I heard a knock at my door. I looked up and saw Jason, one of the last people out of all the hunters I wanted to see, like usual.

"What!" I snapped.

"I'm sorry for not picking you up. It was a bad judgment call on my part." He said lowly.

"You've been making a lot of those 'bad judgment calls'." I pointed, picking at my pillow.

He looked at me blankly, "What is your point, I said sorry."

"Just admit you have no idea what the vampires are up to," I said. "and let me do what I was born to do."

He gave me that blank face again.

"I will tell you what I am up to and you may comply if you want." I said, looking directly at him instead of my pillow.

He growled deep in his throat. "Then what are you going to be up to?"

We made eye contact, "I'll tell you when I'm ready, now go away and close the door when you leave." My eyes flashed with the coloured energies for a brief moment, but I was too shocked that Jason just left without saying anything and closed the door, that I didn't exactly notice. I jumped up and ran out.

"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked his back.

He turned around looking slightly confused. "I don't think so."

I ran to find Garren. "I think I have the power of suggestion." I said in awe.

"Really now?"

"Yeah, like how often would Jason really listen to me? He would do it sarcastically, right? Well I just made him leave and close the door." I said, like it was the most freakiest thing ever.

"Maybe he has more respect for you?" Garren said, having extreme amounts of doubt in his voice.

"Yeah that's it." I agreed sarcastically. "Respect..."

"I agree." Garren said. "So I got nothing. Did you at least do it on purpose?"

"I think I did." I said. "I think I'm going to find Scott to practice on... or Pierre for hitting me last week during practice."

"Okay, you do that, and tell me how it goes." Garren shook his head and walked away.

I slid and toppled into Pierre's room. "I need a dummy to practice on." I said.

He looked up confused, laying on his bed reading another comic. "What?"

"I think I have the power of suggestion." I said smiling.

"What?" he now looked scared, and confused.

"Well Jason has gone to bed, so like I need someone to practice on." I said happily ignoring his signs.

"Huh?"

"You are not very cooperative." I said, sitting on his bed by his feet.

"But I'm confused." he replied.

"Well screw you, stop being confused and help me." I said turning to face him.

"With what?"

I sigh, "Okay the story is I told Jason to leave and close the door behind him, and he did just that, right after I said it. How freaky weird is that?" I said hitting his leg for emphasis.

"Weird... so why do you want me?"

"To practice on silly." I giggled. "I must make sure I have the power of suggestion like I found out how I could move people around."

He looked at me, "How come you didn't ask Scott or Garren?"

"Pay back. You flipped me too many damn times." I said plainly.

"I said I was sorry."

"And you are acting weird." I added.

He looked at me funny.

"Do you like Jason, those questions, and getting extremely mad at me. I'm not that dumb, I think..." I stopped to think about this for a bit.

He still had that funny almost horrified look on him.

"You like me, now do what I ask!" I smiled prettily.

"I do not." he said jumping up.

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever, you are still helping for bruising me."

"But I said I was sorry!" he said trying to run for the door.

Our eyes met as he was half freaking out, "Shut up and sit down."

He sat, and waited quietly.

I looked at him, then around the room. "Eye contact is needed?" I asked myself.

He shook his head. "What were you going to do?" he asked.

I looked at him with an eye brow up. "I don't know..." I felt confused, but I looked him in the eyes. "Go shut the door." He got up and shut it without question. I looked at him again, he gave me a weird look. "Do a dance." I tried not laugh as he did a little dance. "So by the way what were we talking about?" I asked, swinging my legs under his bed.

"Were we talking about anything?" He asked, then noticed he was standing in the middle of his room.

"I don't remember. I guess it's not important." I smile slightly. "Well I'm going to bed." I walked out of his room. Maybe I should have asked him if he really likes me... I thought to myself walking down the hall. Walking in to the living area as Garren was cleaning up.

"It works and it is fun." I said, sitting on his desk.

Garren looked at me, "What do you mean?"

"Pierre dances funny." I smile.

"Yeah he does... did you try anything else?"

"Uh close the door, and made him sit..." I said.

"My aren't you the devil's child?" he said sarcastically.

"I didn't want to know stuff, like who is his crush, or what his secret desire is, or even if he sleeps with a stuffed animal at night." I shrugged.

Garren giggled.

--

It was a few hours before dusk again and I found my way to the Dandies' hide out. I was quickly attacked by a vampire who was easily dusted. I walked in, and was attacked by three more vamps, I dusted two and held the other one by his ear.

"I'm here to talk to Collin, and I'm willing to wait." I said pushing him away. I found a seat and sat down. It didn't take long for the dandy Dandy of a vamp to show his so called pretty face.

"My this is a surprise." he said, pulling up a chair.

I rolled my eyes.

"To what do I owe this honor?" he asked, pushing a hair out of his face.

"Nothing. I've come here to actually talk, and not make excuses." I said, crossing my legs like a lady. "They don't care."

"Oh isn't that sad." he said.

I sighed. "So are we going to talk or have I just wasted energy?"

"Yes of course, we will talk. What would you like to talk about?"

"I want to know where you got the knowledge of these powers I possess?" I said, looking at him, but not in his eyes.

He chuckled, "You mean the fact that there is one slayer in each generation that has superior powers than the rest. Many know of this fact, mortal or immortal."

"You do know that I am not one of The Slayers... right?" I said the thing that was on my mind. "I took the place of one, in her memory."

"But you did not volunteer for this position. You were chosen. As like your friend was chosen to work for the dark side. It was an equilibrium trick of nature. That is why you were given these powers. But now it is your choice. Your friend is dead, and you are free to choose between what you want to fight for. One will enhance your powers, and the other will dull them." he said, staring at me the entire time.

"I see." I said, feeling overwhelmed and impressed.

He sniffed the air, "All the facilities you may ever need are in my power."

"I have a question though... If I stay with the Hunters I may kill as many vampires as I want, something I enjoy a lot. But if I stay with you and your kind, what benefits will I have besides killing the hunters including Jason, and having facilities to help me build my power?" I said, saying the only reason that was keeping from joining them.

He smirked, "Benefits?"

"Yeah benefits."

He looked a bit surprised, "Protection, long life..."

"I see." feeling unimpressed. "Want to try and impress me a little more?" I asked, trying to buy myself off before I leave.

He slightly bit his lip, "But were you serious?"

"Very serious." I said, always wanting the highest bidder.

"We need you, I need you. I want you to rule the underworld beside me." He said trying not to sell himself off as begging.

"Sounds great..." I said before looking into his eyes. "but you can leave and go jump off a bridge while I think about it." I smiled. His eyes went blank and as he got up I followed him out.

--

As I walked back I turned on my phone, and began thinking that this suggestion thing was extremely fun. The only problem being that I could have killed him, unless the trance thing doesn't last long with him... I cursed myself out loud, and ironically the phone rang.

"Where are you?" I heard Pierre say.

"Walking."

"Where?"

"On a street."

"Which one?"

"Uh... I'll tell you in five minutes.."

"Are you near home?"

"I don't know, I didn't time myself."

"What?"

"I ... am... on... corner of main...and ... third." I said passing a stop sign.

"Okay... are you alright? It is getting dark."

"Yeah I'm good."

"Okay, we'll come your way to pick you up."

"Oh how gracious of you, I feel oh so humbled by your loving kindness and --" click, I heard the phone die... I looked at the battery, and it read zero. I sigh and waited at the stop sign to get picked up. I felt another presence and I turned around quickly. A Dandy was standing in front of me, ready to either tap my shoulder or attack.

"Why don't you want to join?" He asked.

"Did you just follow me?" I asked.

"Yes."

"Okay don't do that again." I said. "Now the reason I do not want to join a gang of vampires is because I'm still a mortal. Immortals and mortals do not mix, if you did not know this from Vampire school already."

"But we are nice..." he replied.

"You bite. That's not very nice." I reprimanded him.

"Hey it's a vampire thing, and we are territorial." he shrugged.

"I see, and what is your name?"

"Darren."

"Darren, if you do not walk away I will have to kick your ass." I said, and added. "I really rather hang out with mortals than vampires."

"If you want it that way, fine. But then I'd watch my back if I were you." he said and left.

The car turned a corner sharply and stopped in front of me. I crawled over Pierre to get to the middle.

"Hunting, or surveillance?" I asked from the back.

"Hunting." Jason said, not looking back, his feet on the dashboard.

"Good thing I wore my hunting clothes then. They are just so comfy." I smiled, looking at my patched knees.

"Do you have weapons on you?" Scott asked.

I pulled out my dagger and two stakes, he rolled his eyes and handed me a gun.

We made it to the punks' alley. I got that we were just thinning out the population, in secret. Instead of what they tried before, brawl with every gang in the city on a public street.

We were attacked quickly as the scouts notified their leader. I rolled my eyes, pocketing the gun and took out my stakes. I was fighting with a girl, until she ripped my shirt. I swear ever since the practices I was made to take, my moves got slower. But it was my shirt, my favourite shirt that I had for two years, and it was now ripped.

As quickly as my anger flared up so did my sight for energies. Everyone was lightly glowing, and my green intensified and grew to an enormous size. My energy reached everyone, including the hunters.

"Run!" I screamed out, readying to kick the bitch who was smiling at my blood dripping onto my shirt. I spin kicked the girl and every single vampire was thrown far from where they were once standing. The hunters ducked but still slid a few feet. I looked around and all Punk Vamps were dusted except one, who I hit with my crossbow.

I helped everyone up, feeling proud yet scared.

"That was scary." Pierre said, his eyes huge behind his glasses.

Jason looked at me, and grabbed me by the scruff of my neck. "We need to talk, now!" and dragged me off to behind a building.

I looked at him, his grey light minimizing his red.

"What the hell was that!" he seethed through his teeth.

"She ripped my shirt." I said, like I was justified. "I was angry."

"So now your powers are triggered by emotion? That is just great to know!" He growled.

"Well, I could have stopped it easily, hence warning you." I said, starting to feel like a child.

"Well then you should have stopped it, instead of warning us." he almost yelled, his teeth bared.

"I was sick and tired of the vampires. They are now gone. I warned you, and you are safe. What is your problem!" I yelled back at him.

He looked down at me, "Maybe helping you wasn't a good idea." he said quietly.

I gapped at him, "Then the Dandies would have me, and you wouldn't be here. Just have patience and I'll get this all down pat."

He was breathing hard trying to calm down.

"You know, if you calm down more... your human side will be able to control your vampirisum." I said looking at his aura as his red streaks became thin strands.

He growled.

"Wait..." I said looking at him in a new light. "I never asked you this... but how come you have human colour in your aura?" I cocked my head to the side, looking at his lights more attentively.

"What do you mean!" he asked, his teeth still bared.

"I've been noticing that all vampires' auras are plain grey. Yours has red streaks in it. And I apparently had a green aura and now it has grey streaks." I said, my sight becoming normal again.

He backed up into the building hitting the back of his head against the wall.

"You look like you have seen a ghost..." I said, backing away a bit.

He started walking away without finishing his lecture. I followed slowly behind him. It was an awkward silent car ride back to the warehouse. Jason got out without slamming the door and just walked in and kept on walking. I looked around thinking if I should stay with the guys, but I found myself running after Jason.

When I caught up he pushed me lightly away and kept walking, and I just kept up with him.

"I'm sorry if you didn't want to hear that." I said once we were well out of ear shot of the guys.

He kept walking then turned into his room and shut the door on my face.

"I promise never to use my powers like that ever again. But maybe your aura means something..." I talked into the door. "Like there is a cure or something..." I said and started to lightly hit my head on his door, trying to figure out what to do now. The door opened and my head hit a chest. I looked up.

"You really think so?" Jason said, looking at me with seriousness.

"A good possibility. If you just keep to your human side, I guess anything is possible." I said, feeling some confidence in my words.

Before I knew it Jason held my chin and lifted it a bit, his lips lightly pressed against mine. I could feel my blood rush to my face. The kiss broke and I backed up, staring at him. He looked at me calmly his eyes soft, "Thanks." he said and walked back to his room.

I walked away in staggered way before I could begin walking straight to my room. I flopped on my bed, took by pillow and began screaming into it. Garren walked in.

"Are you trying to suffocate yourself?" He asked, looking at me funny. He walked over and took my pillow away.

I grabbed it back and hid my face. "He kissed me." I growled feeling dumb.

Garren looked at me. "Who?"

I mumbled.

"Pardon? It's not like a vamp, and that's why you have been going out on walks, is it?" Garren asked, trying to get me to look him in the eyes.

I growled lowly, "Jason."

"Jason." he said to himself. "Jason! No shit!"

"Is that a happy thing or a surprise thing?" I asked not catching his tone.

"I dunno. It's weird." Garren said, sitting up and staring at the wall. "So..."

"What?" I asked angrily but confused.

Garren looked at the ceiling, "Do you like him?" giving me a quick glance.

"Does he like like me?" I asked, instead of answering his question.

"Uh... I dunno. But do you like him?" he asked again.

"To tell the truth, I don't know. I like him as a really good friend, to like turn to and stuff, but I really don't think I like him that way. I like..." I could feel myself blush. "someone else..."

"I see." Garren said, still not looking at me. "But it is not a vampire?"

"No it is not." I said. "I'm going to go ask Pierre if I can see his Sais. Stakes aren't so fun any more." I said and slid off my bed with my pillow to my chest.

"He went to bed." Garren said.

I stopped and turned around. "Oh." I looked at him in thought. "Do you think he'd be upset if I borrowed them?" I asked.

"I wouldn't, but whatever." Garren said.

I came back to my bed and made room for myself and curled into a ball.

"Are you depressed now?" he asked looking down at my form.

I moaned.

"It was just a kiss, it's not like the end of the--" Garren stopped. "Hmm..." he began thinking.

"I believe you were looking for the word world." I said, muffled by the pillow.

"I think you've gotten yourself into a jam." he said not making me feel better. "Can I guess who you like?"

"Whatever." I said curling tighter into a ball.

"Pierre." he said.

"Good, now go away so I can sulk." I said, closing my eyes.

I could feel his pride grow, before he said. "Why should you sulk? You have two hot guys after you." he said in a joking voice. I groaned. "Okay you are obviously not happy with that."

"Really you think?"

"So you want to choose Pierre over Jason?" Garren said.

I groan again. "My predicament is that I have been sired by Jason, therefore in vampiric law I am tied to him. But I can only see him has a friend and I guess protector and that is it. Then I worry about the laws and how strong they are, cause I really like Pierre. He is like so awesome and everything, he makes me giggle a lot. It's just the stupid thing of supposedly being owned by Jason in law, then liking someone else. It's like cheating in a relationship." I said. "It's confusing." I concluded.

"Wow." Garren looked like he was at a loss. "I don't think Jason thinks he owns you."

"But I feel he thinks I owe him." I said.

Garren was thinking. "I don't think so... man this is hard subject."

"Agreed. Something that you should to do compared to what you want to do." I sighed sitting up holding the pillow. "Just like Collin said."

"What?..." Garren stared at me in shock.

I just realized what I had said. "He said something like that before I got bit." I said covering up my visits.

"I'm sorry I can't help you, but if you need someone to help you organize your thoughts I guess you can come talk to me." Garren said.

"You are leaving now aren't you?" I asked.

"It's seven in the morning, I'm tired. Sorry." Garren said patting my shoulder before leaving.

I rolled over and screamed into my pillow again.
