Hi guys

Thanks for all the comments! Here is the next chapter tell me what you all think. I also want to know if you liked Kieran's (though obviously very short) POV so I know whether or not to add other characters views throughout.

Keep on reviewing please.

Lucy's POV

Hunter and I were sitting on my sofa gorging ourselves in pop-corn and chocolate. Re-watching our tape over and over again so we knew every detail of his blush and the over Drake brothers laughter. If only they knew how much worse it would be for them. Especially Nicholas. And seeing as Hunter was here probably Quinn to.

We were watching it for the 15th time when there was a knock at the door. I sighed, there was no doubt in my mind that that would be most definitely be Solange. The only thing that was bugging me was the curiosity of whether or not she told the rest of the Drakes.

I sighed again and opened my door. Imagine my pure terror to see the one the only Helena Drake? Honestly I think I'd have a better reaction to being held prisoner by the Fimbles (who just downright terrified me as a child, I mean there not pig, elephant or hippo but there something in between) I gulped and opened the door so Helena and Solange could come in. Then to my up-most surprise came in Isabeau looking as excited as Hunter had when she joined in on the plan.

"Lucy" uh-oh Helena was using that voice I knew all too well "what" here it comes "Possessed you" oh jeez could she hurry it up "to not include" huh-where the hell is she going with this? Can't she punish me already? "Liam in these tasks"

"Yeah, I know I'm really" wait "no, I mean yeah, no, wait..." I looked at Sol who was grinning, what the hell! "No, really what?"

"Really Lucy did you not think Liam deserved a challenge as well as the boys?" she asked shaking her head at me.

Like the demented fish I am all I could do was look at her my mouth hanging so wide open I could be catching fly. Isabeau and Hunter had obviously decided my facial expression was to damn funny for them to just sit there and be polite, so instead they both ended up rolling on the floor clutching there sides. And even Solange- who as my best friend should know better- joined them after only 30 seconds. Their faces got me out of my shocked state. As for the next thing I knew I was tackling all three of them and we were wrestling on my sitting room floor. And seeing as two of them were vampire and the other was some freaky agent, I can honestly say I held my own pretty damn well.

"Hey you know" I said once we had all stopped fighting and were in heaps on the floor giggling viciously "if the boys walked in right now we could make a fortune" I said witch only resulted in more laughing jags.

"Girls really we need to come up with the next task" Helena said slightly annoyed, though you could tell she was glad we weren't afraid to knock seven bells out of each other.

"No offence intended" Hunter said looking generally confused "but why would you want to embarrass your sons" she finished getting up off the floor.

"Well" Helena said "I'm glad somebody finally asked" she said looking down at me "I think that Lucy can easily get my sons back for any pranks they play on her" I smiled that was indeed true "however they seem to branching out of just teasing Lucy, or locking her in a closet" I scowled at this I would definitely make Nicholas's task the worst by far "So they are now teasing Solange, Isabeau and even sometimes Hunter from what I can gather of Quinn's behaviour around you, Hunter is it?" Hunter nodded "so I think it's about time we brought them down a peg" WOW- I never thought I'd see the day Helena Drake went for planning and not obvious violence. What is the world coming to?

"Mum" Solange asked "Why did you ask why Lucy didn't include Dad in the tasks?" she said looking down.

Helena laughed loudly "Well he's driving me crazy with all this treaty talk, I really just want to have some fun" she said simply.

Well if this was what it took for me not to get into trouble over this later I'd be a damned fool not to except Helena's help. "We'd better hurry then" I grinned at them "We wouldn't want you to get back after dawn" They all grinned at me wickedly as we came up with next task.

The plan was; that Helena would slide the task under the door when she got home this morning and me and Hunter would go onto Vampire times to make watching the tasks easier for us. And we would meet here after everyone so we could get to work on the next task. That's the rough outline for the next week or so.

When everyone left I fell straight asleep I'd been up for nearly 24 hours and could barley keep my eyes open let alone walk upstairs. I had tried a few times but my legs had turned to jelly and I just kept falling back down them again.
