Lazer lays down next to Mato, only to receive a growl from her.

*Oh….would you give it a rest! I'm getting really sick of this crap!* He growls.

*That time I honestly didn't mean to! It just kinda happened!* Mato says.

*Sure, I'm sure that's what happened!* He looks at her, and raises an eyebrow. He shakes his head in exasperation. *Females! They are truly difficult to understand!* Lazer continues to shakes his head.

*I could say the same about males!* Lazer looks up at her in surprise.

*How do you figure? We're easy to figure out!* Mato cuts him off.

*Yeah well….* Mato mumbles, and Lazer looks up at her, only to realize she had fallen asleep.

*Haha.* He stops laughing when he hears Mato mentally mumble.

*Shut uP! You do realize that we're connected by mind even NOW right?* She growls.

*Yeah, point?* He asks with a smirk in his voice.

*Well, if you want your pups to get enough energy, I suggest you let me SLEEP!* She growls.

*Clever.* He says, smiling. He lays down, and stays quiet for a couple hours.

A couple hours go by. Mato moves her head to the side, and sees Lazer's head only a few inches from her own.

*TOO-close for comfort!* She squeaks in shock at the closeness. Lazer moves his head over so that he's looking at her.

*Why?* He questions.

*It just IS!* She growls as she gets up, and strolls to the end of the bed, where she jumps off. *Going to show me where to find some water and food in this place?* She questions him. He sighs.

*All right.* He stands up, and jumps off the bed as well. *Follow me then.* He walks out the dog door, and Mato follows him. They go to the kitchen without talking, and soon are standing in front of two large bowls.

*WOW! That's a LOT of food!* She says in amazement.

*Don't eat it all.* Mato gives him an evil eye, and puts her nose in the air.

*I don't eat THAT much!* She growls.

*Yeah well-* She blocks Lazer out of her head as she starts eating.

*Hahaha! Take that!* She turns away from the bowl, and walks past Lazer. She walks around the corner, and to her surprise, she gets kicked. *God dammit!* She goes flying. When she hit's the wall, she let out a sharp whimper.

"So, who's this, Zoe?" The strange vampire asks. Zoe walks around the corner, and looks at Mato.

"I got her so that Lazer could have some company, Derek." Derek looks at Lazer, and a smile crosses his face.

"Well, at least she's pretty." Derek says, and Mato catches a glimpse of Lazer nodding his head. She puts her ears flat back, and show her teeth to Derek.

"And there's just enough of a wild streak in her so that you never know what she's going to do next." As Zoe was saying this, Mato gets back to her feet, and is just about to lunge at Derek when she feels Lazer grab her skin on the back of her neck.

*God dammit! Let me GO!* She growls.

*No! You're not going to attack him!* He snarls.

*Don't bet on th-* She gives a sharp yelp when she feels his teeth penetrate the skin on her neck. She whines. *I HATE you!* She whines.

*I couldn't care LESS!* Lazer says. Derek smiles, and waves to Lazer as both him and Zoe walk into the other room.

*Let me GO!* She growls. He lets her go, and watches her walk out of the room in the opposite direction that the vampires had gone.
