Hey! I'm back! Sorry for such a long wait, I've just been really busying and now that I'm on spring break well here is the new chapter! :DD BTW THIS FIC IS NOT GOING TO BE ALL ABOUT WARREN AND VANESSA I've gotta switch it around a bit, but don't worry I'll still keep going with those two.

Chapter 10?

Somewhere… in some evil lair….. ( new bad guy :O)

"It seems the Fablehaveners have caught my little messager… No problem I want to take them down when they're fighting hardest.."

"Minion! "

A short stubby man walks up to him nervously "Yes Master?"

The dark shadowy man looks at him in disgust " Watch them, as soon as any of them leave the house . plan a special little surprise for them, UNDERSTAND?"

"YYY-Yes Master.." and quickly scrambled away.

~Back at Fablehaven:~

Vanessa was sitting on the couch reading a book when Christine came running in.

"Hey Nessa, Marla needs someone to grab some groceries for her, can you go?" Christine asked.

Vanessa took a quick glance at her watch, "Sure, I've got time, tell her I'll go for her." Christine nodded and run out of the room. "Where is she rushing off to?" Vanessa thought. Coincidentally Warren had said the exact same thing just a few seconds earlier when Scott had asked him. Warren was about to head outside to find Dale when Bracken had ran up to him.

"Warren! I was looking for you" Bracken said "Scott wants you to head to the grocery store to pick up stuff for dinner today, Can you go?"

Warren paused for a minute and replied," Sure, Nothing else to do really, Tell Scott I'll go for him"

"Okay," Bracken said and walked away smirking.

Anyway, Vanessa headed outside toward the car and was surprised to see Warren already there. Vanessa shifted uncomfortably and considered going back inside. It had been really awkward between the two since Vanessa had mysteriously rejected him; they haven't really spoken to each other for almost a week.

Vanessa was about to head back inside when Warren spotted her , "What are you doing?" He called out.

Vanessa froze and faced him" I was going to go grab groceries for Marla."

"Really?" Warren said "Scott just asked me to go grab groceries for him too…."

Vanessa glanced at him suddenly interested "You're kidding right…?"

"Nope,"

Vanessa frowned "I have a feeling we've just been set up"

~Back at the house~

"Did he say yes?" Christine asked

Bracken grinned and nodded. Christine started to grin too, "Perfect." She said

Kendra shook her head " I can believe you two."

Christine smiled "You're just jealous that you didn't think of it first"

"Nooo.. I'm just offended you didn't ask me to help!"

Christine laughed, " I wonder how it's going right now"

~Back outside~

"Warren" Vanessa said " How about you just head back inside and I'll just go ahead"

"No, its fine Vanessa, I'll just go with you, you'll need help carrying bags anyway."

Vanessa frowned at him, "I'm not weak you know" Warren smirked, " I know, just trying to be a gentleman."

Vanessa looked at him funny," Since when have you ever tried to be a gentleman?"

Warren shook his head " Whatever , come let's get going" The two climbed into the car and headed for the store, totally unaware of what was to happen next.

Minion frowned at the two leaving the preserve, "Fools…." He thought and went to go fulfill his master's orders .

OK, that's the chapter! I'm sorry its kinda short, Its late and I'm getting tired, Plus what's going to happen in the next chapter is going to be really long I'm guessing, so yeah. I've hoped you enjoyed this chapter and stick around for Warren/Vanessa's adventure at the grocery store. Feel free to send in ideas or I'm going to get serious writer's block. xP
