"Hello again," An eerie voice from behind me said.

I turned around. It was Jagger, the one who had helped me pick up my books in the hallway. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't say, You! Why are you living in the attic of my aunts house?! That would be totally strange, and he would probably think that I'm smoking something. We just looked at each other- was he waiting for an answer from me?

"Hi." I looked over his shoulder and saw a girl standing behind him. She had long blonde hair, pale skin, her cheeks on her face were a little pink, and her eyes were the color of shamrock. If you shut off the lights, you probably could see her eyes. Glow-in-the-dark shamrock.

She spotted me staring at her. I quickly looked back at Jagger. He smiled. "This is Luna," He stepped aside so othat we could see each other. I had to admit she was pretty.

Luna smiled at me and took out her hand. "Nice to meet you."

I shook her hand. "You too."

"Now that we all know each other, we should tell you why we are here. No?" Jagger looked at me straight in the eye when he talked. "We have this enamie. His name is Alexander, and he claims we're after him and his sister."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," I said. "Hold up."

Jagger raised an eyebrow.

"Hold the phone!"

Luna rolled her eyes.

Jagger reached into his pocket and took out his cellphone. He held it up.

"First of all, why are you guys even at my aunts?" I asked.

Luna shrugged.

I looked at Jagger. "Well?"

Jagger sighed. "Well, Alexander has this sister..."

"Oh. Great. Now he has a sister?"

"Let me explain-"

"What else does he have?! A hamster named, Slippers?"

What is she talking about? How did this conversation about Alexander, get into hamsters and slippers? Jagger thought.

I don't know. Luna thought back. But, I do like slippers.

I sighed. "What other relatives does he have?"

"From around here, or not around here?" Jagger asked.

"Around here." Why is he so difficult? How can Luna put up with him?

"Well... he does have alot of cousins. One of the most dangerous one is, Kahryn. She messes with your mind. She makes you think when something good is going to happen, when really, something bad happens. You don't want to mess with her." Jagger explained. "Another cousin is, Jill. She's very protective of Alexander."

"Why is he after you anyway?" I asked.

"We're honestly trying to figure that out," Luna looked at Jagger.

"Don't lie, Luna. She needs to know the truth," Jagger taunted.

Luna hesitated. "Why don't you tell her?"

Jagger sighed. "He's... after you."

"Me?!"

Jagger nodded. "Oh, yeah... uhm, can I let go now?"

He was still holding the cell phone.

"I suppose?"

Jagger put the phone back in his pocket. "Good. My arm was getting tired."

"Raven!"

"My aunts calling me," I looked at the door.

"Go," Jagger said. "Come back up here later."

I nodded.

After saying bye to Jagger and Luna, I quickly went down the stairs to the kitchen. It looked like Aunt Libby already had the table set for dinner. Libby got two glasses out of the cabinet, and placed them on the table. She also got out some drinks.

"Sit down," Aunt Libby smiled.

I took a seat across the table from her.

"Tomorrow, I was thinking, we could go shopping. Then, after it gets dark, we could go to that haunted mansion up the street. I hear its pretty eerie," She sounded so excited. "Then after, we could go to dinner with my new boyfriend. Of course, you have a date."

"I do?"

Aunt Libby nodded. "He's really cute, though. Just wait until you see him! He has the most beautiful hair."

There was silence for awhile as we both ate.

"I'm really excited that your staying with me. We're gonna have the best time!" Aunt Libby looked up and smiled at me again.

"Don't forget eerie."
