Chapter 346

It was just after sunset when the blonde girl woke up. She didn't know these other people, or where she was exactly. Maybe she'd gotten drunk at this party, but where exactly was the booze. Maybe she'd taken drugs, perhaps a lot of drugs. Because the blonde girl suddenly realized that she didn't even remember her own name. She went to turn the lights on, and the other six suddenly woke up. They didn't know who they were either. The seven of them spent the next hour piecing together clues. Two had identification, a young man named Riley Finn, and an older British gentleman named Rupert Giles. The raven-haired beauty had a locket with a picture of herself with an older man. The locket had the inscription "To my beloved daughter Faith. I love you, Dad." Faith was glad she had a father, but still felt certain anger issues. There was a younger British man with no I.D. He could possibly be Rupert's son. Rupert's son seemed to be friends with the other man here, who might have a slight Irish accent. There was also a young bald black man. This guy seemed mistrustful of the others. He also had an instinct that "The Man" was screwing with them all. Only three of them knew their names, the others decided to name themselves. Rupert's son considered that he was named Rupert Jr. He decided to just call himself RJ. The young black man called himself Malcolm. The Irish man called himself Conner. The blonde haired woman liked the name Joan. They realized they were in a magick shop, they couldn't rule out the possibility of a spell. When they learned that Rupert owned this store suspicion fell on him. Then the group realized that RJ had no reflection. He might be a vampire, yet he felt no desire to harm the humans. Conner tried to throw somee holy water on him, only to be hurt by the water himself. It was unclear why Conner had a reflection and RJ didn't if they were both vampires. The seven wondered if they should go to the hospital. Could they help with magickal spells? The blonde girl wondered if she was possibly dating one of the other people. Joan was a little attracted to Faith. But she also felt strangely drawn to RJ and Conner. She didn't know if they were evil vampires, they didn't seem to know either. But she knew that a relationship with a vampire probably wasn't a good idea.
