Normally, when I'm on the road it's normally the few times in my unnaturally long life, that I'm glad I can't sleep, can't dream. Today was different. She would always be the focus. My sister, the girl used to call me her "little bear." The one I mercilessly attacked. The one I turned into a bloodthirsty being such as myself.

"Have you ever thought of focusing on her?" Aurora asked from the front seat.

"It doesn't work that way." I frowned. "Besides, I can't see her." It was a half lie and Aurora picked at my thoughts, my reasoning at my response. She nodded accepting my answer as she too watched my last vision of my sister, her for the first time.

She was rabid. The blood of her victims was flowing from her lips. They had found her. The police.

"Kill her, Felix." a petite blonde turned to a tall and extremely built black haired vampire. He approached my sister and before he could grab her, a short and nimble man with long jet black hair cut in.

"Not yet, Jane." He stopped the burly man and knelt down to my sister.

"Aro, I thought we didn't give second chances?" Jane stared at him, her tone filled with disapproval. He just waved her off.

"What is your name dear child?" he asked looking at her. He offered her his hand to help her up.

"Allegra." She snarled and took it after a moment's hesitation. He pulled her up to her feet after a moment.

"Jane, Allegra will be our only second chance." He smiled. She clenched her jaw and shifted her chin out.

"Fine." She said her voice clean of all emotion.

That was the first time and the last time I saw my sister as a vampire. Ever since then, I tried to focus on her and got nothing. It was like she was silenced behind a barrier. I frowned thinking about the vagueness of my sister's future.

"Maybe she found a gifted mate?" Aurora interjected.

"We're almost there." Solomon said from the driver's seat. He obviously was feeling quite left out of our conversation.

"Do you know what the house looks like?" I chimed in. Solomon looked at me sharply in the rear view mirror.

"What do you mean? Haven't you already seen the house?" he asked.

"My last vision was yesterday before we left." I shrugged. He tossed me a slight smile in the mirror as an 'oh' and continued driving. It wasn't long before we pulled toward a magnificent house. It was a logged mansion with at least three floors. The bottom floor was covered in stone and everything above that was wood. A couple balconies jutted off from adjacent sides and in between both balconies a wall was present that was almost dedicated to windows. A small tower was visible just above one of the balconies.

"Home sweet home?" Aurora stated a question heavy on her comment. We watched as Emily's and Christopher's vehicle's pulled turned into the drive to the back of the house. Emily was the first to get out of a car then followed by Elsie. Christopher and Edwin got out of the next vehicle and finally Solomon stopped the car to allow the rest of us emerge from his vehicle.

"Home sweet home." Emily grinned and took a step toward the house. "There's a bit of exterminating we have to do but I think we can handle that." She began to proceed to the front door. The six of us followed not far behind. She knocked on the door and an elderly couple answered the door.

"I'm sorry." Emily put on an act we knew all too well. "We're lost may we come in and use your phone?"

"Oh yes dearie." The woman moved out of the way and her husband allowed us to pass into the room. the man looked at each of us strangely like we were some novelty. Granted to the majority of the human race we were a novelty. Emily turned to all of us and gave us a quick nod. Christopher, Edwin, Elsie and Emily all latched onto the man and Solomon, Aurora and I grabbed the woman.

Feeding to us was always something special, something we always did as a family. This time was no different. Her blood was purer than any of the other meals I've had. She was untainted by almost any drug. The only taint that was present was the soft and sweet tickle of wine. It didn't take long for her screams to gargle and her to take her last breath.

"Good." Emily smiled and looked around the rustic log mansion. "Start picking rooms."
