Chapter 9:

"Sorry, must have slipped my mind to mention the entrance to the meeting room...My apologizes" Tyler said, appearing out of nowhere. A smirk wide across his face and turned the light switch on "This way" I stood up against the wall, mumbling to myself how I was gonna kick his skinny tanned ass so hard- "Diana you should stop dreaming...You might be friends with Alex, but she's the leader of the Wolf$ and if you aren't much of a listening when she's talking..." He trailed off and I rolled my eyes letting out a sigh then kept following him down the tunnels.

Okay so apparently to get to this place you have to follow a Werewolf to the middle of nowhere in a forest, fall through the trap door they keep for newbs (thadda be me) and find yourself in the underground tunnels of the city. Odd lay out but I won't judge I won't judge. Though I will sudjest they put some pillows down for the landing at least. That hurt!

Tyler stopped in front of me and I ran into his back falling down again. "Oww" I mumbled rubbing my head "You know...Alex told me she hopes I get her safely and all yet you lead me here and I keep landing on my butt while you just innocently stand there!" I said, and seeing how he still hasn't moved or said anything else I added a "H-ello!"

"Sorry Diana." He blinked a few times and stood silent still but this time awake I guess. He turned back to me "Second door" I saw him motion to and nodded and started walking.

"Aren't you coming?" I stopped looking over my shoulder to still see him deep in thought

A rush of air and we were only inches apart (gotta love Werewolf super speed huh? oh, twilight didn't mention Werewolf's are fast like vampires did they?) his normal dark eyes now glowing as he forced a smile "No. I'll catch up later. Tell Alex I'm sorry" and with that disappeared before I could argue.

"Leave me here all alone.."I mumbled and walked down to the door, knocked twice and took a step back whistling. I heard the door open and looked to see Bre, her usual jeans replaced with a black skirt and black shirt with one of her favorite screamo bands names writing across it in blood, red letters with their symbol behind it. I would have told you the name of the band and what the symbol looked like if A) I can learn to pronounce the band and B) little

"Ohh good, you made it" she leaned against the door, her hair pined back a little for it wouldn't fall to her face. I nodded

"Yeah..Tyler couldn't though, he had to run a errand or something" I mumbled looking away and Bre just looked at me

"Oh, Okay well hopefully he can make it back for the end..." Bre commented. I nodded wondering where the heck he could have gone anyways. Tyler is Tyler but he never normally does stuff like that.."You coming in or what?" I blinked a few times to see Bre, crossed armed and a curious look crossed her face waiting for an answer

"Huh? Oh, yeah sorry" I mumbled and walked past her, not knowing what to expect but a bunch of Brinicals.

Okay, turns out this place isn't half bad. You gotta room the size of a middle school gym. The big ones, And there's this HUGE table in a circle, split up for the different categories. There was about 50 people in here too so I felt sorry for the people who liked the idea of personal space. Now the far left corner has a few vending machines and a soda bar! the far right corner has a door with vines around it and a silver tinted window, the door nob matching. Eh, It's alright. Only thing I don't like about this place is how mad they get when you start flinging hair bands at people. Which in the defense of an ADHD kid, I find only right. But no. So Alex had to take me outside for a mom-talk and in a nice and sweet way she basically told me to shut the hell up and keep still. With a mother's love though.

She might be a little motherly sometimes, but she's still pretty awesome. I glanced around the room and humed to myself, not even really listening to the meeting. Could you blame me? It was boring and It doesn't look like these people-umm-Brinicals are too happy to see me anyways.

"Diana, what is your opinion on the matter?" A guy across the table from me asked. He was sitting in a Lirin chair and about 5'11 by the looks of it...Yes, he's sitting I'm just that good. Anyways, Deep Caribbean blue eyes and dark hair with movie star perfect teeth with a pale face. He was wearing an odd symbol on his jacket I couldn't really place too. Guess I'd have to ask Alex that too... "Diana?" Bre, sitting beside me, in her black shirt and ripped shorts, her comfortably crossed legs on the table and looking at me concerned "Hell-o? Man, are you alright?," No. "You seem a little zoned out today...Like more than normal" Maybe 'cause of Tyler... I thought to myself and just shrugged

"Sorry." I mumbled to Bre giving her a convincing smile"...Um?" I asked looking at the guy calling my name from earlier. He glanced at Bre and she nodded, waving her hand slightly.

"Charles" He titled his head down and put a hand over his chest. Is he...Bowing? Like, Legit bowage? . "Anile, Trickle" He glanced over at Bre and I saw them hold the glance till I interrupted

"Oh...Um Nice to meet you. I'm Diana, well you already know that but yeah...Rorin, Shapeshifter." I paused trying to search his eyes thinking there was something off here. I had 100 questions...Aren't Aniles evil? Won't he suck peoples souls? But it was kinda hard to ask them when the whole room was silent and all staring at you

"Diana?"

"Sorry, I haven't been getting much sleep and I'm a little nervous-first meeting and all-so I guess-"

"It's okay" He nodded then sat back down in his seat as I did the same "So, your opinion?" He interlocked his fingers and tilted his head slightly.

"Oh...Um on what again?" I sat down and fiddled with my Garage hoodie strings

He smirked a little and looked over at Alex. She nodded at him and stood waiting for everyone to be looking at her. "Thank you to everyone who came. Next week same time. Any questions ask the Second In Command" With that, she turned and left the room, leaving me with an obvious question.

I tugged on Bre's shirt before she packed up to go "Whose Second In Command?"

She glanced over at the guy and swung her back over her shoulder then followed the crowd out. Leaving me alone with 2nd in command.

Johnny Depp.

Sadly he was abducted by a herd of cantaloupes the other weekend on his way to his photo shoot with me so no Hollywood star for me. Nope.

Just Charles.
