Sorry I haven't updated in FOREVER, but I have 4 stories in progress and the bane of all writers: writer's block :P. This chapter is soooo short, you'll probably be angry with me for it, but I wanted to stop it there. Enjoy! Oh and review, please!

The house we stood before was a 3 story Victorian style home with a huge porch that took up the whole front of the house. Its front yard was decorated tastefully with many different flowers and other pretty plants, but on the far right side of the yard was what we were looking for: A very tall, very old, oak tree.

"I don't think this is the right place," I told Mick, "There's so many flowers here, the smell is way too strong for a vampire to be living here or to be here for long periods of time."

Mick eyed the house over his sunglasses, "Probably, but we still need to check it out." With that he started for the porch steps.

I joined him by the door as he pressed a button framed by a pretty brass design. The doorbell sounded loudly throughout the whole house and we waited patiently.

A minute or two later the door swung open. My muscles tensed, expecting a violent vampire. I looked straight forward... and saw nothing.

"Can I help you?"

I looked down and saw an exceptionally short elderly woman eying us suspiciously. Mick and I exchanged glances, this definitely wasn't who we were looking for. I looked back down at the old woman with a brilliant smile.

"Well, I saw your beautiful yard and I simply adore it! I just wanted to ask you: Did you do it yourself or did you hire someone?" I asked sweetly.

She smiled proudly, "My daughter did it for me, she was a very talented gardener..."

The short old lady went on about her daughter for awhile before I finally had to tell her we were in a hurry. We bade her good-bye and hopped into Mick's car. Besides, these flowers were seriously starting to bother me.

I turned to Mick as he started the engine, "Told you so."

A half hour later we were almost to our second and final destination. We were in a neighborhood full of expensive mansions and ridiculously wealthy people; near where Josef lives actually.

I smiled to myself. Josef and I had been together for about a week and I was totally in love with him. I never thought I would be able to fall in love again after Phillip, but Josef proved me wrong.

Back to the task at hand. Chris had texted Mick the coordinates of the two ancient oak trees in Los Angeles shortly after we left and we were minutes away from the last set of coordinates.

We were getting closer and closer to Josef's mansion, and I was getting more and more worried. The vamp was so close to him, too close for comfort.

When Josef's mansion came into view, I was on the edge of my seat. What the heck? There were no more houses over here besides Josef's.

The car started nearing the driveway leading to the gate which led even further onto Josef's property. I looked over a Mick, his brow was furrowed in confusion.

Please pass Josef's house, Please pass Josef's house, Please pass Josef's house.

My mantra ended when Mick suddenly stopped the car at the driveway and stared at his GPS.

"This can't be right," he muttered.

"Why did you stop?" I asked worriedly, afraid of the answer.

He looked up at the huge mansion then at me, "We've reached our destination."

'Kay there you go. I'm gonna leave you with a cliffie. :P I'll try to update soon though! Please review this ridiculously short chapter!
