I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry I haven't been able to update. With it being the last week of school and all, everything has been nuts so I'm sorry. After Friday I think I will be able to update at least once a day so be happy about that.

Peder came into the living room and smiled when he saw me. He had a white cooler in his arms.
" Hello Ember how was your day?" He asked.
" Good." I said and smiled.
" Will you go get Tim for me?"
" Sure." I went upstairs to Tim's room. I gave it a quick knock then opened it just so I could put my head through. " Peder is home." I said. He sat up.
" Ember come here for a second."
" Peder is waiting for us." I said and started to close the door.
" Ugh. Can't she just listen to me for once." He thought. " Ember1" He yelled from the other side of the now closed door. I turned around. The door was now open and he grabbed my arm and pulled me inside the room.
" What do you want Tim?" I asked. He didn't say anything. He just kissed me hard. I pushed him off.
" Your still mad." I didn't answer him I just turned and went down stairs.
" Were is Peder?" I asked Matt.
" He's in the basement." Matt said not looking up from his PSP.
" Thanks" I said. I went to the basement. I went down the staircase alone and silently. When I got to the bottom I stopped and looked around. It looked like an everyday basement. The walls were a gray just like most unfinished basements. The only thing that was odd was the blue painters tape on the floor. There was a square box with 3 lines in front of it and behind it. At the end was Peder standing behind a black card table with his white cooler on it.
" Were is Tim?" Peder asked.
" Right here." Tim said coming down the stairs.
" Good. Both go stand in the square and close your eyes." Peder said.
I did what Peder said. I felt Tim take my hand.
" Let go." I grumbled
" What did I do?" He let go.
" You can open your eyes now." Peder said. I opened my eyes to see he had done nothing. I gave him a confused look. He just looked at me. I listened to what he was thinking. "Fix whatever problem you have." He thought.
" There's nothing to fix." I said. Tim gave me a strange look.
"You have to be supportive of each other." Peder thought.
" No. I'm not going to need any." I said.
" No you will."
" Try me." I said defying him.
" I will." He said. He turned to the cooler and pulled off the lid. " Don't pass the line closest to the table. If you do you fail the test." Peder said, as he pulled out a small plastic bowl out along with a little red vile.
I could smell something strong. It didn't have a good smell to it by any means. Peder pulled off the top of the vile and the smell got worse. It smelt like sour candy and menthol cough drops that someone put in a wood burning fire. Suddenly Tim was grabbing the vile from Peder and drank the whole thing in one gulp.
" That smelt horrible! How did you drink that?" I was amazed that Tim did drink all of it.
" That was type O human blood." Peder said.
" I just drank human blood? Gross! I think I'm going to be sick."
" Well we are all going hunting tomorrow." Peder said.
" Do I have to go? Can't I just stay here and stay with Colleen?" I asked
" No she's coming too. She has to even hunt even if it is once a year. You both have a wonderful gift. I wish I could have your gift. You and Tim have to fix your problem though on your own before we leave and if you don't then I will have to be forced to lock you both in a room together for a few days until you can be in the same room with each other." Peder said then went up the stairs.
" Ember what did I do wrong?" Tim asked frustrated. I didn't say anything. I just went up the stairs. " Ugh." I sat on the sofa next to Matt and Tim just went straight up to his room.
