When Otis left he told me that I have to watch my every move. Yeah, well considering the fact that I understand all of this already because of what has happened in the past I think I know what I am doing. Henry finished his homework and looked at me.

"Ready?" He asked. I grinned.

"Ready." I agreed.

Henry and I made our way to Snow's house. I'm standing directly below her bedroom window and I could see that her room light is on. I check my phone. Its 11:34. I look at Henry and he gets on my back as I float up to her window. It's open. I see her and October sitting on her floor laughing and talking. I grinned and let my arm rest on her window sill and I put my head in my hand.

"Don't you girls know it's dangerous to leave your windows open at night? There is no telling what might just drop in for a bite." I say making my presence known. Snow turned around with a smile on her face.

"Yeah but I had a feeling that a certain creature of the night would be stopping by and I am actually particularly fond of him." She said as she walked towards me an placed a kiss on my lips.

"Hey I am still here too you know!" Henry said annoyed. I chuckled.

"Well are you going to invite me in or not?" I joke. Snow rolled her eyes and stepped back as I came in and Henry got off my back. His gaze met October's and she walked over to him and kissed him firmly on the lips.

"Took you guys long enough." She said as she pulled away. "Snow and I were beginning to think that you bailed on the whole seeing us thing."

Snow shot her a look as if to tell October to 'shut up'. I look at Snow with a raised eyebrow. She sighed.

"FINE! YES! I WAS IN YOUR HEAD! BUT OCTOBER MADE ME!"

October threw her hands in the air as if to say 'seriously?'

"Snow..." I began.

"I know I know. You stay out of my head I stay out of yours." She groaned.

"SO!" Henry clapped his hands together and made himself a spot on the floor. "What are you lovely ladies up to this evening? Truth or dare, spin the bottle...seven minutes in heaven?" he wiggled his eyebrows but October playfully punched him in the arm.

"Where are your parents anyway Snow?" I asked.

"Ah they went out. I don't think they are coming back until morning though." she answered.

"Good! More fun for us!" Henry cheered. I rolled my eyes as I made my way over to sit on the carpet with everyone else.

"Hey Vlad?" Snow asked.

"Hmm?" I answered.

"When I was in your thoughts you were really worried about something. I already know what it is. I just want to see if you'll tell me the truth." I sighed in defeat. She had me cornered.

"Marcus is in town." I say.

"Who's Marcus?" October asked leaning in.

"Marcus is D'ablo's cousin. They were very close and when Marcus heard of his death and who was involved well...obviously he wants to kill me."

"Is that someone's pass time or something? It's like ending your life is number one on their to do list. Number two is planning on how to do it." Henry said.

"Well Otis wants me to come home tomorrow so obviously I will. I can just erase some of the Dean's memory."

Snow stood.

"I am coming with you." She said and I stood.

"Snow I don't think that is the-"

"Vlad. Please don't make me stay while you go out there and almost die. I know you can't die but still why risk it? I won't stay here. I am a vampire now. I just need some training. I am capable of fighting. Just please let me help you this time."

I looked into Snow's eyes which I shouldn't have done. Her puppy eyes are killer. They can make anybody cave in to her. If I hadn't looked I might have stood the slightest chance of saying no. Slightest.

"Okay." I say. she squealed in delight. "But Otis and I will have to train you okay. I am not risking losing you again. I might not be able to save you the next time."

She nodded and hugged me tight.

"Thanks Vlad." She said and I hugged her back. When we released Henry yawned.

"We should all get some shut eye. I am so tired." He said.

"Would your parents mind if we stayed?" I asked. Snow shook her head.

"No they're pretty cool. I'll just tell them that you guys stopped by and we hung out and all crashed." Snow said. I grinned. Smart girl.

Henry made his way with October to her sleeping bag to lay down with her. Snow got in her bed and I rubbed the back of my neck and I felt the heat spread in my cheeks.

"u-uh..." I stammered.

"Just lay with me." she said. I smiled and nodded as I got in the bed with her and laid down. Snow crawled over and laid her head on my chest and snuggled into me.

"Goodnight Vlad." She said. "I love you."

"Love you too Snow." I said as I kissed her head. It didn't take long until we fell asleep.

"How are the plans coming along?" A voice asked from across the dark room. His arms were crossed and his hazel hair hung low in his eyes.

"Just fine sir." One person answered. "Would you like to see the journal?"

"Yes." He answered and took the Journal. "Thomas's Journal. The secrets of the pravus and his life all lie in here. How did you recover it?"

"It was found deep in Stokerton. A rather weak boy found it claiming it was his ticket to fame. It was quite the hassle to retrieve it."

"You shall be rewarded significantly. Thank you for this."

"No problem sir."

The man in the corner of the room looked up revealing his emerald eyes.

"I am going to put an end to Vladimir Tod once and for all. I am going to succeed by avoiding all the holes that D'ablo missed and fill them...so I can be sure that this time someone puts a stake through his chest," he poured something onto the end of the stake.

"His heart will stop beating once and for all."
