A/N: Hey my peeps. How's it hanging? I hope you liked the last chapter and after you read this chapter, I hope you will like it too. Sorry for the wait of the last chapter and this one, but I again had writers block and my co-author had writers block and no time to write this fic and all the fics she is currently writing. Well enjoy this chapter and remember to review after you have read it. Also, I am sorry if Selene and Michael haven't been in this fic a lot so far, but don't worry they will be in it more after this chap and the rest.

Chapter Five: Questions

"Wait a minute, hold on just a second," said the confused and befuddled Tad. "You're telling me, that she didn't do anything to get that way," he said as he looked in Kathleen's general direction. "That's not possible, and even if it was, that's just plain bizarre, because aren't vampires like dead or something?" Tad asked as he began to ramble on, and on, until Selene finally spoke up.

"You watch way too much TV wolf boy," Selene said as she cut him off from his rambling.

"What do you mean, I watch too much TV?" Tad asked back. "And remember, the names Tad, not wolf boy, or dog boy, or wolfie, or any other concoction with the words, wolf or dog in them," he continued in a rather perturbed voice.

"I mean, that in the life of reality, yes, vampires do die when they are bitten and all their blood is sucked except for the last drop, but as if they were hit with a defibrillator, they are brought back. So to sum all that up: Vampires may die for a couple of minutes, or days, it depends, they are brought back as not a human anymore, but as a creature of the night, and as long as they get their helpings of blood every once in a while they will stay alive, that is unless they go into the sun, are caught on fire, have their head cut off, or are shot with a UV bullet or just plain old UV light."

"What about the old stake to the heart thing?"

"Only if you put it in far enough, or if you can even get close enough to aim the stake in the right spot."

"OK, well now I know."

"Good, now other then being able to break into places quite easily, what else can you do to help us?" asked Michael from behind Selene.

"Well, I am really sneaky and can get around pretty much anywhere without being seen or heard, even by Vampires, and other Lycans. That is, if I don't run, or walk into anything, or bump into anything while I'm sneaking around."

"Good, we could use someone like you for spying, and reconnaissance."

"Oh, I always wanted to be a spy, but I never had anyone to spy on, or was asked to spy on…."

"It's very good that you finally get to live out your childhood dream and everything, but stop rambling because you're sounding more and more like a brain dead teenager by the minute," said Ti as he cut off Tad's rambling and grabbed a beer from the fridge.

"Okay, okay I'll shut up, but you have to tell me one thing," Tad said as he went silent for a minute and everyone was shocked that he actually stopped rambling. Of course, that stopped pretty soon, as Tad started up again. "Sorry, I needed to catch my breath."

"That explains the silence. I actually thought you actually ran out of things to say," broke in Dena as she started to take out a big juicy steak to put on the barbeque.

"Very funny," Tad said as he laughed sarcastically. "Now, as I was saying. You have to tell me one thing. What the H-E- double hockey sticks is with the genius 3 year old?"

"Oh yah, I knew we forgot to tell you something," spoke up George, who was getting out a cookie for Jo as a midnight snack, because it was way passed her bedtime. "Chris can you explain, I have to put our little girl to bed."

"No problem…" answered Chris before he was rudely cut off by, whom else but Tad.

"Hold on a minute hommies you're gay?" he asked, but then suddenly shut his mouth quickly because of the very evil looking glare given to him by Kathleen.

"Yes, we are. Do you have a problem with that?" Chris asked in not a questioning voice but a say no and you're dead kind of voice.

"Of course not man, I was just asking to make sure I was right about my feeling. I have absolutely no problem with gay guys. In fact, I always wanted a gay friend; you can tell me how to get a girl, because you must know more about them then straight guys."

Before Chris replied to that he looked at the 3 other guys in the room and thought for a second. "Well as a matter of fact, we do, but no one around here seems to think so enough to ask for help."

"HEY!" shouted Ti, Tom, and Michael as they glared at Chris and looked very criticized by his words.

"What? It's the truth, just ask the girls, they'll agree."

They all looked at the girls and waited for their response. "Sorry boys but it's the truth, you don't get girls, girls get you," said Ally as she took a swig of……her orange pop. Then all the guys just stood there quietly with their heads held low to the ground and it almost looked like they were going to cry.

"Now that we have that cleared up, I guess I should finally answer your question so here it goes. Me and George adopted Jo when we were traveling through Japan. We adopted her because she was special. She was quiet around everyone, stayed by herself, didn't play with the other kids, weird things happened around her when she was upset or just plain showed any sort of emotion, she would be found writing weird symbols and in different languages, when she did speak she would speak in different languages that a 3 year old Japanese girl shouldn't know, and when we met her she actually spoke to us and didn't shy away from us, and she knew that we weren't human. She is also extremely smart, mature, and she knows how to do things that people go to university for years to learn. Now does that answer your question?" asked Chris as he took a deep breath when he finally finished.

"Yah, that about sums it up. But one thing, do you know why she is like that?" asked Tad one more time before he shut up again.

"No. Not yet anyway, but we are trying to find out a way to find out."

"Okay so if you don't have any more questions I think it's finally time that we all got some rest," said Riley as she shooed everyone to their rooms and got Dena to clean up her mess after she finished her steak.

It was only 3 hours after everyone finally went to sleep when Tad woke up and went down stairs to get a drink. He didn't really sleep anyways, being as he didn't really have anyplace to sleep most of the time. When he got down stairs and finally found the kitchen again (I mean it's a huge mansion, it's hard to find anything when you've only been there a few hours), he went to the fridge, but when he went to open it he heard a noise from behind him and after he took a whiff of the air he realized it was the skinny lycan who showed him to his room. "You really should be more quiet when you're trying to sneak up on people," he said when she was only a few steps behind him.

"I wasn't really sneaking up on you, I just came down to get a snack and I didn't know if it was you or another intruder. Christina really has to amp up the security system, but don't tell her I said that, she would kill me. I'm sorry I disturbed you, I'll just get my snack and leave you alone so you don't have to hear my rambling," said Ally as she started to blush and went to one of the cupboards so she could hide her face and get her snack at the same time.

"You don't have to rush, I was just getting a drink because I couldn't sleep, and this is really your house so I'll get out of your way," said Tad as he stopped before he himself started to ramble.

"No, no, you're the guest I'll get out of your way, I was just getting a snack because I didn't really get a chance to get a lot to eat today, it's been kind of hectic," Ally said as she again started to blush and hide her face. She didn't know what it was about this guy that made her ramble and blush so much, but when she looked at him she just couldn't help herself, there was just something special about him.

"Here, how about you get your snack and I'll get my drink, I mean the fridge and cupboards are on different sides of the kitchen, and if we cross paths, we cross paths. I mean there really is no reason for either of us to leave. Anyways I could use some company, I've been alone most of my life, and the only company I've really come across is any guard dogs I might come across when breaking into a place."

"Okay, sounds good to me. My names Ally by the way, I think I forgot to tell you before."

"Yah you did, and it's nice to meet you Ally. Is that short for anything?"

"Yah, it's actually Allison, but no one's called me that since I think grade 8, I liked Ally better anyways."

"I like it too. I think Ally is cool, I think I met an Ally before, and if I remember correctly she was pretty nice, I mean she was a stripper and I kind of paid her to be nice but still," Tad said but then realized what he was saying and cut himself short before he embarrassed himself.

"That's nice," said Ally who was trying really hard not to laugh at the male lycan across the kitchen from her, who was started to blush.

"So, is there anything I should know about everyone else here, that is before I say something else incredibly stupid?" asked Tad as he remembered being yelled at, glared at, and lectured by a 3 year old.

"Oh yah," Ally said as she realized that if she didn't warn him about what not to say that someone was going to kill him before the week was over. "First of all, no swearing around Kathleen or Jo, and especially not around Kathleen, because she'll kill you. Second of all, don't call any of the females around here names like, Miss, Lady, Little Lady, Babe, Hunny, Little Girl, or anything else but their names because they'll literally bite your head off. Third of all, don't hit on or try to make a move on Selene, or Christina because they are taken by Michael and Ti, and even though Ti is human, he can still take you down, because he can learn all of your weaknesses in a matter of 2 days and he's been training how to fight, and has learned almost everything about lycans from a young age because his sister was turned and he had to help her through it because it was just the two of them growing up. Also, don't get in any one's way when they are pissed because everyone around here is pretty violent and mean when they are mad and definitely not anyone you want to mess with. I don't know what to warn you about Jo, except that don't swear around her or say anything provocative or impressionable for a 3 year old. Oh yah and don't leave a mess anywhere because Kathleen, Chris or George will kill you and use you to clean up the mess. There may be more to tell you about Vandhana, Jyotsna, Jonathon, Logan, and Rin, but I don't know them well enough. Also, about Tamara and Bob, who are Christina's mom and uncle, just don't mess with Christina or they'll have to mess with you. Oh yah, I almost forgot, don't mess with anyone's vehicles, especially, Sonjas bike, and Christina's new car that she just got a couple of days ago, because they'll kill you if you put a mark on their babies. Now I think that's about it and if I forgot anything you'll find out soon enough."

For a while Tad just stood there wide eyed and with his jaw almost to the floor like in bugs bunny cartoons. But of course, he finally spoke up. "Wow, that's a lot of things to avoid, and you're sure you don't know anything else right now?"

"I think so, but if you get in trouble for anything I forgot to tell you to avoid, you can blame me."

"Don't worry I will," Tad said as he laughed and made Ally laugh.

"Well I think I should get back to bed, we'll have to wake up again soon and I really should get some sleep. You should too, you look exhausted," Ally recommended as she yawned and her eyes began to feel heavy.

"Yah I'll be up in a minute, good night, or good morning or whatever people say when someone else goes to sleep when it actually morning." 'Oh my god what am I saying, what is it about this girl that makes me ramble so much?' Tad said to himself after wishing Ally sweet dreams and watched her go up the stairs and back to her room. There really must be something special about her, because he normally never acted this way around girls.

After getting another drink Tad put his glass in the dish washer when he found it and went back up to his new room and back to sleep. Surprisingly he actually did go back to sleep and didn't wake up until he heard a knock on the door and heard Tom's voice saying that breakfast was ready and if he didn't get up it would be gone before he got around to getting down stairs. Of course he got up right away, but come on it was food and he hadn't eaten a real breakfast in weeks, maybe months.
