On the way home from Falling Stars, Aphrodite, Darius, and I ran into an old lady carrying a box that said "free kittens". Although there were only two kittens. The old lady looked up at us through her eyelashes. "Would you like a kitten?" she asked in a sickly sweet voice. "I need to find good homes for them. I live at a senior home and they don't allow animals." She looked genuinely sad.

"Uh, sure," I said, reaching my hand into the box. I pulled out a small orange kitten with one white paw and having a pouch that looks "kinda marsupial". She looked so cute!

"Mee-uf-ow!" She sneezed in my face.

I giggled as I watched Aphrodite reach into the box and pick up a white, mashed in face, kitten. Literally, her face looked like it was mashed in. Aphrodite looked as though she immediately fell in love. As did the kitten. "Thank you for the kittens. I hope you have a nice week."

The old lady smiled before heading on her way.

"You know you, guys, she could have been a crazy old lady for all we know," Darius informed us as we walked through Grandma's door.

"Oh yeah. Totally," I agreed sarcastically.

Grandma was cooking something and it smelled delicious. "Welcome home," Grandma greeted us, walking through the door frame that led to the kitchen.

"Hi, Grandma. What're you making?" I asked, setting my backpack down by the coat rack. Aphrodite and Darius followed my lead.

"Chicken and dumpling soup."

"Mmmm. It smells great. I cannot wait to eat it." Grandma smiled and gave us hugs before going back into the kitchen. I turned to Aphrodite and Darius and whispered, "After we go to bed, come into my room. We need to talk about Falling Stars."

Both nodded their affirmatives. The rest of the night went by quickly. After I said good night to Grandma, Aphrodite, Darius, and I headed upstairs with our kittens. It didn't take long for me to explain what our situation was and before I knew it, I was being woken by my alarm clock. I groggily sat up. Nala "mee-uf-owed" and jumped onto my pillow, curling up into a ball and falling asleep.

"Aphrodite," I whispered, throwing one of my pillows at her.

Aphrodite shot up and looked at me. "Are you okay?"

I smiled, amused at how she was acting. "I'm fine. We need to get ready for school."

She nodded and climbed out of bed; probably going to get Darius. I quickly got dressed into a black sweater, a white collared blouse, a black mini skirt, and black stilettos. Courtesy of Aphrodite, she got me twenty pairs of stilettos. When I got downstairs, Darius and Aphrodite were already sitting at the kitchen table eating waffles while Grandma got them orange juice.

"Can you feed Nala and Maleficent throughout the day?" I asked politely.

Grandma smiled. "Sure thing, Zoeybird."

"Thank you." I smiled back.

o.O.o

"Glad to see we're worthy of your presence," Thanatos mused.

I grinned sheepishly. "Sorry I'm late. There was a house fire and a little girl-"

"As you can see by her singed clothes, she had to go in and save her," Aphrodite huffed.

Darius chuckled. "I was trying to convince her that the firefighters had it under control, but each time they went in, they came out empty handed."

"Some much for trying to stay incognito," Aphrodite muttered.

I laughed slowly. "I guess we should get to class."

Thanatos looked at me sternly. "Yes, you should. I will explain to the teachers what happened. Now, scoot. Aphrodite, you may want to let Zoella have your extra clothes."

"Don't worry. I've got her outfit covered."

After changing into Aphrodite's extra clothes, we made our way to our first class. Our new friends gave us weird looks. Ignoring them, we took our seats in the back. Not the nicest thing to do, but oh well. Each class went by agonizingly slow. In seventh period, I started to get a really bad feeling.

"Aphrodite," I hissed.

"What is it, Z?" She raised an eyebrow quizzically.

"I don't have a good-"

"Don't even say it, Z. Don't tell me you have a-"

"Bad feeling?" Darius asked.

I nodded. "Very bad feeling. We need to tell-"

The lights went out. Girls screamed and started freaking out. Aphrodite, Darius, and I got up and ran towards Thanatos' office.

Erin POV

"Let's follow them!" I said, grabbing my Twin's hand and running.

"We can't! It's not right. They left for a reason. Maybe they're just scared," Stevie Rae pointed out.

I shook my head. "There is something going on. They are acting very strange. Did you see the way they acted when they walked into class?"

"Maybe they didn't see us," Stark defended.

My Twin and I rolled our eyes. "Why were they late?" She asked.

"They were busy this morning?"

"No. Besides, they didn't even get in trouble with the teacher. They never do."

Stevie Rae's eyebrows furrowed. "No, I refuse to believe it."

"Believe what you want, but we're going to find out what's up."

My Twin and I ran down the long, winding hallway. We could hear everyone else's pounding footsteps. Almost frantically, Zoey, the hag from hell, and the hottie ran towards us.

"Get in a fucking room!" The hag whisper-yelled at us.

Gun shots fired as they ushered us in a room and locked the door. I looked around the darkly lit room. Stark, Stevie Rae, Shaunee, Damien, Jack, Aphrodite, Darius, Kramisha, Erik, and Shaylin. No Zoey. "Um, guys... Where is Zoey?"

"Shit!" Aphrodite cussed.

More shots sounded and a loud thump crashed right outside the door. Uh oh.

A/N: The first chapter was better written :( Hopefully the next one will be as good as the first. anyway, Sorry I haven't updated. I've been utterly busy. Now, here you go! I've come up with a plan. I'm going on vacation soon and I'm bringing my writing things so I'll be writing about three chapters. When I come home, I'll update them all at once. I say three chapters because I'm writing about ten stories right now.
