The moment the two were out of the cab, they separated. Aaron headed toward the Force crowd waiting outside while Aithne went over to Schuyler and Oliver.

"Hey guys," she greeted as friendly as she could muster considering her night. The two didn't seem to notice. Oliver looked slightly nervous. Aith automatically knew that tonight Schuyler would be drinking his blood again.

"Hey," they replied, both looking at each other awkwardly.

"Guys, you're going to have to get over this, you know." Aithne was getting annoyed with their subtleness. It was the exact opposite with werewolves. Blunt. Always saying their feelings. Aithne had secrets, though. It was part of her nature.

"It's just sort of weird with the blood," Schuyler explained. "When you take your first, you'll get it."

"Maybe," Aithne replied, shrugging her shoulders. Jack Force came up suddenly behind Schuyler.

"My dad wants us to come home immediately," Jack stated.

"Can they come?" Schuyler asked, pointing to Aithne and Oliver, more to Oliver. Jack nodded. They all shoved themselves into the back of a cab and were on their way to the Force house.

"Your dad home?" Aithne questioned.

"No," Jack replied. "He's out of town on business, but he doesn't want us out and about while Kingsley is still out there. He got Mimi last time, he doesn't want it to happen again." They all nodded in unison. "So we'll all just hang out." Aithne felt relieved. If anyone could feel her presence, it'd be Charles Force or Schuyler's grandfather.

When they got to the house, Mimi and Aaron was nowhere to be found, so Jack went out searching. Schuyler and Oliver left Aithne to watch the huge TV. Jack arrived five minutes later.

"Where are they?" Jack asked, his voice filled with concern.

"Don't worry lover boy," Aithne assured him. "She's just taking his blood." He nodded, still unhappy.

Crap, Jack thought, beginning to pace the room. Aith decided to place a thought in his head.

Ever thought about werewolves?

"Aithne, how much do you know about Silver Bloods?" Jack asked.

"All about them. They were everywhere where Aaron and I used to live. I was attacked by one once." Jack shuddered, and Aithne could see his thoughts returning to his own encounter.

"Ever think that there could be more than just Silver Bloods out there?" he inquired. Aithne pretended to ponder for a moment.

"I think there has to be," Aithne stated. "I mean, how many Silver Bloods can there be? Most of them went to hell, right? There's got to be something else, or how would you get more if they're all stuck there?" Jack nodded in agreement.

"My father wouldn't like this conversation. He says it's just Silver Bloods."

"He'd like to believe it, wouldn't he? We all would. He's Michael, he believes that he can beat whatever is out there."

"Can't he?" Jack seemed truly concerned about this. He'd been concerned about Schuyler and Oliver together, but this was more of a fear. A fear that Michael could be killed. Gone. Forever.

"We'll see," Aithne commented. "If there is something else out there, he might not be able to."

"Werewolves." She pretended that she seemed surprised.

"They're myth," she assured him.

"But a lot of people say that about vampires, what if werewolves actually do exist?" Aithne shook her head.

"I'd be amazed." Suddenly, Mimi and Aaron entered. Mimi was drooped over Aaron's shoulder.

"A Silver Blood attacked her," Aaron explained. "She's fine now, I saved her, but she needs a lot of rest." Jack lay Mimi down on the couch.

"Kingsley," Mimi murmured under her breath. Aithne's glance immediately went to Aaron. Aithne looked at her watch.

"Shoot, we have to go!" she exclaimed just as Schuyler and Oliver came out. Aithne grabbed Aaron's arm and dragged him out of the mansion.
