First of all, I was reading the new book of Patricia Briggs' 'Silver Borne' so I haven't been typing much at the moment….I only just found out that there was another installation into the series…so I got hooked and read it all at once…..

So yeah…I have some tweaking in my plot to do, the characters don't seem to want to do what I want them to do…

I also need to figure out a subplot of some sorts….Last chance, if there's any characters you want to see in this story that haven't shown up yet then say so…otherwise I only need to introduce Bran later

Elouisea- Oh Jesse will definitely get in on the action… Actually, next chapter will probably be a Jesse chapter for the most part.

Stefan shot an exasperated look at Mercy. "I will not harm you, neither will anyone else here," Stefan said patiently waiting. Mercedes could certainly stir up trouble he thought to himself as the girl turned to look at him.

Rayvn took a breath, "Well the whole world now knows there are Fae and werewolves, I happen to not be human myself. I suppose since everything else previously thought of as fictional is now know to be real, and then vampires can't be that big of a leap." Her words didn't sound as shaky as she felt; which was good for her at least.

"You don't know vampires exist." He said, trying to erase the memory. After all, it could work since she was not nearly as strong willed as Mercedes and already off balance. Not to mention she had to be tired by now. He waited to see what would happen, walkers were immune or at least resistant to vampire tricks but he had never been a weaker vampire.

Rayvn shook her head, trying to clear it. There was something she was supposed to know—no, there was something she knew that she didn't need to know—She gave up trying to figure it out, with all her other problems demanding attention she could figure out the riddle when and if she had the spare time.

Mercedes was glaring at him. She obviously did not approve of what he had, apparently successfully, tried to do but what else could he have done? He could not let the girl know what was out there without knowing more about the girl's history or what had brought her here in the first place.

"So, who are you?" Jesse asked, ignoring Mercy who was glaring again and the rather resigned looking vampire. She might not have the sharp senses that everyone else around her seemed to always have but she wasn't stupid either. Anyone with even half a brain could see what the girl was feeling, it was written on her face clearly.

"Hmm? Oh, my name's Rayvn, I can change shape into a coyote." She said since it would have to be brought up anyway, eventually, so she might as well get it over with now.

"Cool, so you're a walker like Mercy. Then what are you doing in Tri-cities?" Jesse asked, hoping that the girl Rayvn was off-balance enough to answer.

No such luck though, no matter what questions were asked they never seemed to get any answer that would provide insight into her past…at least what had to do with her family…or her reasons for tracking Mercedes down.

Eventually, Rayvn left to go back to wherever it was she was staying and leaving the threesome alone to their thoughts. Mercy immediately resumed glaring at Stefan again; she had stopped earlier because she hadn't wanted to spoke the girl who had a seemingly effortless way of answering a question without giving any real answers. It reminded Mercy eerily of how the Fae sometimes evaded uncomfortable questions, like the kind with answers that could get the questioner killed if she wasn't careful.

"I thought vampire tricks didn't work on walkers?" Mercy asked annoyed.

"Nobody said they never worked, just that they do not work well. Their completely unreliable; anyway, she was not as strong willed as you are Mercy." Stefan replied tiredly, he too had noticed how evasive Rayvn had been and that made him wonder what she didn't want them to know.

"Anyway, we have to figure out what we are to do about Wulfe." He told them, which started a long conversation that he hoped would last until they had to leave.

Adam and Warren were headed out to Stefan's house to pick up his daughter and mate when they felt it. One of the pack had just been attacked and was dying; he could feel that much through the pack ties but not any sense of 'where' the captured wolf was. He knew because of what Warren had told him it must be the wolf that had gone missing and was likely being killed by the vampires.

Warren growled, reminding him that he had to keep a leash on the pack for now. If he didn't then there would be many more dead. "Warren, go find Ben," he ordered. "I know you were only there once but can you remember how to get to Stefan's place?"

Warren nodded, accepting the Alpha's help to bring his wolf under control. He hoped that Adam could keep his own control, his eyes had turned the bright gold that said the wolf was in control and Warren made sure not to look directly at his Alpha again.

"Good, go pick them up and bring them here alright?" That, Adam thought, should keep their human sides at the fore since a wolf couldn't drive a car.

Warren carefully walked around his Alpha and stopped Ben on his way from the house before the wolf could do anything stupid. "Let's go get the girls, before you go invite all the vampires to a fight." He said, recognizing that look on Ben's face.
