My 1st reactions when I awoke were disbelief, shock, denial and the overwhelming desire to book myself a padded cell in a psychiatric facility, these all quickly faded as my mind began to process and organise the information, 5 minutes later my mind almost back to it's former condition I began to theorize. After what I think was just a few minutes my thinking done I opened my eyes.

It was just beginning to get light, to hazard a guess I'd say between 6 and 7 o'clock. I sat up in my bed before I leaped down bending my knees to absorb the noise and the impact.

"Good morning handsome." Said a voice behind me, from the direction of my desk.

I reached for the vial of acid, before realising I'd left it under my pillow, I turned around. Looks like had was the right word for there in her hands was the concentrated acid I had been trusting to keep me alive.

"It's most definitely not good, and I most certainly am not handsome," no really I spent so much time enclosed in my room out of the sun I almost looked pale enough to be a vampire, then again that might explain it.

"Morning" she said.

I grabbed my recently recharged laptop and stormed out of my room grabbing a copy of Brisingr on the way.

I was fuming and probably more to the point not yet completely awake, my 1st task of the day was to make a cup of tea, that done I slowly sipped it the caffeine jolting my system back up to capacity.

Finally I put down the cup officially awake. I turned on my laptop, flicking rapidly through Brisingr as it loaded.

1st stop Google, instant result, several million of them in fact, ok scratch that. I closed the laptop and headed down to the garage.

The garage was filled with an assortment of metals, metalwork tools, old possessions I hadn't the heart to throw away and a broken car.

I grabbed a steel pipe, an iron box, a blowtorch and some steel wiring and set to work.

5 minutes into construction I was interrupted by a gentle tap on my shoulder, I turned the blowtorch still in my hand, she blurred moving faster than I could make out appearing the other side of the garage, I was right then I thought with a certain satisfaction, they weren't indestructible then.

"Knock next time." I said turning back to my work, apparently instantly she was back hovering over my shoulder.

I turned the blowtorch off having soldered the pip to the box then coated the outside with molten steel to strengthen it, the result was around 1 inch squared of metal box and a 4 inch pipe. The more blunt work out of the way it was time for the precision work.

Half an hour later it was finished, I lifted the insane contraption up, I had a weapon that would work even on the bloodsuckers

With a loud creak it promptly fell apart.

A muffled snicker came from behind my left shoulder, I considered lashing out but even if I connected I would be the only one hurt.

"Don't you have some poor innocent bystander to suck dry?" I asked irritably,

"Well it is becoming a chore not to kill you so I guess I'd better leave"

Finally, I felt like dancing a jig, peace and quiet, a normal boring Sunday of surfing the web, playing online games and reading lay ahead. In other words my idea of Utopia.

4 hrs of gaming, 3 reasonable sized novels and 4 science websites later I went to bed.

Only to find to my eternal disgust that it was already occupied, I briefly wondered whether vampires could sleep but decided I wasn't going to ask, in fact I was going to avoid the menacing valkyrie which it appeared had decided to take up residence in my house to my utmost ability, so I headed downstairs intending to sleep on the sofa, naturally when I got there she was apparently asleep there, of course now I knew she wasn't really asleep, the broken car down the garage I grabbed the keys and ran keeping my eyes on her, Lucile – I was honestly starting to think of the name as an expletive. Ok out of the house I turned and ran opened the garage then closed the door behind me and locked it pocketing the keys, I climbed into the car and adjusted the seat leaning back and I closed my eyes –

"Goodnight dear" there was a childish glee in the honeyed voice

I jolted up banging my head on the low roof, to my left on the passengers seat was the current bane of my existence – seriously contemplating asking her to kill me at this point. I huffed getting out of the car I then checked all the doors, locked?! I left the garage the door opening just enough to allow me out before rapidly closing it and locking it, I hung the keys up and headed back through the house as expected she was on the sofa, I wasn't bothered this time, I headed upstairs certain that this time I had the upper hand, I grabbed 3 towels on the landing and went into the bathroom.

I lay a towel on the surface of the bath, rolling another up as a pillow, I climbed in thoroughly uncomfortable then proceeded to use the remaining towel as a quilt.

Eventually I fell into a shallow and fitful sleep.
