Sorry it's been so long. I've been busy with school and had writer's block for this story for so long. But here is the next scene. ENJOY!

Blaise watched as the red haired witch climbed through the window. So that explained why Ash had tried to expose this girl. Same old Ash, always causing trouble. Especially when a beautiful girl was involved. Blaise remembered her from when Ash had brought her to the shop. She was annoying then and still the mere presence of her annoyed Blaise. "What are you doing here?" Blaise asked glaring at the girl. She heard a scream of "POPPY." She turned around and saw Phil sprint to the girl. "Wait this is your sister? Your TWIN sister?" "Yeah, I'm his sister. Now explain what you are doing here in my house," Poppy said, her arms crossed. "Well, I've come to find my cousin and Aunt Maddy didn't know where he was. A friend suggested that I start where he fell from grace. That would be you sweetie!" Blaise said also crossing her arms. "Girls, Girls, stop it. What the hell do you need Blaise?" James asked before a catfight could start. "I'm not talking to you with Her in the room!" Blaise stated in outrage. "It's fine Blaise. I'll take Poppy to my room; we have a lot to catch up on. You and James can chat in here," Phil said taking Poppy's arm and winking at Blaise. They left the room and James looked at Blaise, "What was that all about?" "I have no idea. Boy's been acting strange since he caught me sneaking in. Anyway, I need you to do me a favor. I need somewhere to crash, NOT at your parents' house, for a while," Blaise told him. "Why?" James asked. "Because," Blaise said with a forced grin, "I broke out of a convent and need a place to stay. Grandma's gone, Thea's pretending to be human, and what am I supposed to do?" "Look, I'll see if Mother will let you stay at the apartments. I'm sure she will, but you know she is going to make you go back to school. You still have a year left right?" "Ugh, yeah. As long as it keeps me from going back to the convent then I'll do it." "Alright. Let me call Mother," James said opening his cellphone.

Phil dragged Poppy out the door, down the hall, to his room. "What are you doing flirting with THAT? I thought you had taste, Phil?" Poppy questioned her brother. "I've missed you too, sis. Anyway I don't know what you are talking about. I was just being nice to a pretty girl who happened to sneak into our house looking for YOUR boyfriend. So what are you doing here?" Phil questioned back. Poppy glared at him for a minute, "I heard your call and decided to see what you needed." "You mean you actually heard me?" Phil asked. "Yeah, I've been hearing you for the past two months. What do you need?" "Oh, nothing really. I was just trying to picture you in my mind. Mainly because I've missed you. So what's the history with you and Blaise? You two don't seem to like each other much." "We don't. Remember when that guy, Ash, basically kidnapped me," Poppy continued when Phil nodded, "She helped him with that." "Really? She doesn't seem that bad. A little lost and spoiled, but not crazy," Phil commented. "Phil, she's from the Night World. Almost everyone from there is crazy," Poppy told him. "You're not and neither is James," Phil pointed out. "I said almost everyone. Anyway, we have to get going. I'll visit in a few weeks. I promise to stay longer so we can really catch up," Poppy said laying a hand on his shoulder and guiding him out the door. They walked back into Poppy's room to see James hanging up his phone. "Mother says she'll set you up an apartment, but you have to get a job and attend your last year of school. Is that fine?" James told Blaise. Phil saw the look on her face. It said that she hated this situation and she didn't want to do it, but she was going to. Phil was surprised when Blaise turned, smiled at him, and responded with "Yeah, it's fine. I'll have Phil to help me since you and IT won't be here."

Blaise looked at James when he told her Maddy's deal. She couldn't believe the world was punishing her like this. Then she thought of a way to piss Poppy off. She turned and smiled at the boy, Phil, and said "Yeah, it's fine. I'll have Phil to help me since you and IT won't be here." "Oh no you won't. You stay away from my brother," Poppy said. Blaise saw Poppy fuming and Phil elbow her. "It's fine Poppy. I'll help her adjust, don't worry," Phil said smiling at the two girls. "I'll stay stuck to Phil's side like glue, and I promise to be a good girl," Blaise said innocently. "You better. I'll be back to check on you Blaise. Don't do anything to upset Mother. You will move into the apartment on Saturday and you will start school on Monday. It's the same school that Phil goes to. Mother wants you to have a job within a week from you beginning school," James told her as he took Poppy's hand and went to the window, "Bye Phil." Phil went over and gave his sister a hug, "Bye Poppy and don't worry, I'll be fine." "Bye Phil, and take care of yourself. Don't let that witch use her magic on you," Poppy said glaring past Phil's head. Blaise glared back but remained silent. Poppy and James left the room and Blaise waited a few minutes. "Guess I'm going to leave now. Bye kid," she said throwing one leg out of the window. "Wait!" Phil said. "What?" Blaise asked. "Do you really need my help? Or where you just saying that to piss my sister off?" Blaise heaved a sigh, "I really need your help and I was saying it to piss your sister off. Can I go now?" Blaise could see that what she said made Phil happy. Why it made him happy she had no idea, but seeing his grinning face made her break out into a smile. Phil nodded and she said "Bye Phil, see you later," as she slid out of sight.
