Chapter 2: This Is Easier Than I Thought

It was a long drive but I got there pretty quick. What made my assignment way easier was that my cousin Meredith lived in Bathory so it gave me somewhere to stay. Meredith

and her parents don't know about my assignment. All they know is that I am just visiting for a couple months,and it's going to stay that way. When I

parked I grabbed my suitcases and trudged up to the door, rang the doorbell, and waited. Finally the door opened and there stood a pretty girl with chocolate

brown hair who welcomed her with a beautiful smile.

"Hello. its nice to see you again Gabrielle."

"Its nice to see you again too. And like I said last time I saw you, just call me Gabby"

"Oh yeah,it's just been so long since you visited. Also we know you don't really eat our food so me and my parents went to the store and bought some raw meat for you."

"Thanks i'm surprised you remember about my secret."

"Well I try to. Honestly your the only cousin who visits so... you want help with your bags?"

"Thanks."

"no problem." After dinner was over we went to Meredith's room and I told stories about my hometown.

"So..what about you Meredith,how is your life going in Bathory?"

She looked sorta sad but it turned into a grin."Well at the Freedom Fest last year my boyfriend broke up with me but were still going to talk and stuff."

"Is he cute? How old is he? What's his name?"

"Slow down yes he is pretty cute, his is seventeen years old and his name is Vladimir Tod." My heart started to race but I had to act casual. "do you want meet him?"

"Sure."

"We are going to hang out tomorrow at the park by our school. Im sure he will bring his friend Henry with him so you have someone to hang with so it's not weird."

"Oh, ok cool." I faked a yawn. "ok goodnight Gabby" I couldn't sleep the whole night. All I could think about was that my assignment starts only a day away.
