Well that night I went to bed. Go figure....but there was that stupid shadow monkey dog again in my dream. This time though there was no one to save me as it pounced and ate me like a cat eats a sardine. If that dosent wake you up automatically you must be on drugs, not only was I up but I was screaming my head off with it. Domino walked into my room quickly yet tiredly, "Okay wheres the Boogie Man?" he asked. Thats when I felt like a sissy, I had stopped screaming for a bit by then. Domino walked over and poked me in the head, "Quit hyperventilating 'kay?" I nodded quickly and tried to breath slowly.

"Is mom back?" I asked. After I'd just got eaten by something 3 times my size in my dream I was asking that? Not checking to make sure I was still connected in places or seeing if I had turned into an alien but my mom? Wow....if I felt like a sissy before it had tripled.

Domino shook his head, "No, and we have to leave by tommorow or something bad will happen, like nightfall and wolves and stuff..." he said trailing off.

"You really bring my mood up ya' know that? You always look on the positive side and make me feel so great about whatever situation. Thank-you." I replied sarcastically. It was 6:30 in the morning. I sighed, "Well im going to get dressed..." I muttered. Domino nodded and left the room shutting the door behind him. I walked over to the redwood dresser and pondered on what I was going to wear for the day. I looked through my clothes without much enthusiasm....it would be a long and cold day so I tried to find something to wear accordingly. I walked into the kitchen wearing tight black jeans, (I had chosen them because they were thicker than most of my pants) a slate gray turtleneck (to keep my neck warm obviously) and knee high black boots. Domino smirked when he saw me, "What's wrong?"

"You look like a nerd that tried to transform into a goth and got caught halfway." he replied with the same smirk as before.

"Thanks...too bad I cant say the same to you, you Banana Republic playboy." I said pointing to his black silk pants, black Vans and tight white t-shirt with an Aeropostale symbol on it.

"Shut-up and eat." he said before he stuck his tongue out at me and pointing to the waffles and smokey links on the table. I shrugged and did as I was told. "We have to search hard today." he said as if I already didnt know that. I didnt say anything though and focused on eating and putting away the dishes. It was 7:05 by the time we were ready to head out. "One more minute and its the demon hour." smiled Domino.

"What?"

"The demon hour...you know 666? Since there isnt 66 minutes in an hour 7:06 is technically 666." he replied with a smile. I rolled my eyes as he eyed the clock for another minute. Right when the time changed to 7:06 someone knocked on the door. Domino turned to the door wide-eyed, "Hey man...not cool..." he muttered. There was another knock, I walked over to the door. "Dont do it!!! Its the demon hour dont open that door!!!" whispered Domino loudly.

"Shut-up...it could be mom." I replied harshly as I opened the door. "Uhhh...hi?" I said as I stared face to face with the creepy blonde from the sports store.

"Hey there." she smiled as she walked right in past me. She closed the door and looked at us. The clock had changed to 7:07 now as if it mattered.

"Thats not your mom...." whispered Domino as his eyes followed the blonde chick...Annikki that is.

"So huh... Why are you here?" I asked Annikki as she sat down at the kitchen table.

"...Because you need to come with me and if not ill take you by force."

Wow...she put it so bluntly my jaw almost dropped. She was going to kidnap me and my friend. Just my luck huh. I was fine with that but the force thing really caught me by suprise. "Well we arent leaving with you." I said.

Domino nodded, "We dont just go when someone tells us, we dont know you. In fact you should be leaving right now."

Annikki smiled, "So i'll have to use force?" We nodded at that. "Well thats too bad..." she said getting up.

Only I wish I knew more. I woke up with Domino trying to shake me awake which worked. "What happened?" I muttered. It was dark and we were in a vehicle of some sort like a truck.

"You dont remember? How cant you s-she..." he stuttered. Thats when the memory came crashing down on me. I could remember her changing into a large 3-headed blonde dog...and us getting the smack beaten out of us but I couldnt remember anything after that.

"Thats right...she was a monster..."

Domino nodded quickly, "Alex c'mon we have to get out of here!!! She isnt normal, not human. Man we have to get out of here!!" he was panicking.

I rolled my eyes and slapped him, "Shut-up!!! I cant think with you whining like that."

Domino nodded and went quiet, "Im sorry..." he muttered. The truck had stopped and my heart skipped a beat. Someone opened up the back of the truck. Light poured in and made me almost blind. Annikki was staring at me and Domino with a proud smile.

"Time to go." she said jumping into the back moving towards us like a hawk who finally found its prey. Someone up in the heavens must not like me... Once she got to us she seemed happy. "Now when I ask you to come with me will you? Or will we do this the hard way like last time?" she said. Domino shook his head and got up obediantly and followed his example. We followed her into a large white building that was perfectly clean. Not a normal gross and dark looking hideout place like I originally thought but its not like I got to choose. In fact even when we walked inside I was relieved there wasnt any dungeons or anything....just halls with gray carpeting that went to numerous places. We followed her to a room at the very end of the hallway, "You'll be staying here." she said as she opened the door. Inside was a large room with a living room, kitchen and even a door with the word 'Bathroom' on it. Two other doors said 'Bedroom' on it. The theme was brown, greens and grays. She left us staring in amazement locking the door behind her. Well at leaset we werent locked up in some nasty dungeon. I could live with this...for awhile at least...
