I was disappointed that I had to leave Anthony so soon. However, I never dismissed any of my family's messages as unimportant or second on my list of priorities. I was first and foremost a hunter – even though I'd been slacking on that lately – and when my family told me they needed me, ninety percent of the time, it was for something life or death related.

I concentrated on Nicole. Teleportation usually entailed focusing on the place that you wanted to go to, but if you were powerful enough, you could train yourself to focus on teleporting to specific people, even though it was harder.

I found myself in a park. It wasn't very far from home. I saw Nicole about ten feet away from me; she was crouched over a body. I realized she was trying to heal the person.

I felt uneasy as I walked closer to her. Closer inspection told me that it was a man. I couldn't sense anyone else around, human or vampire.

"Nicky?" I called uncertainly.

"Shhh," she quieted me.

I was finally standing next to her.

    Anthony wasn't there when I woke up. I'd slept peacefully and easily at his house. When I woke up I felt much better. I rolled onto my back and looked at my watch. I flew off the bed when I saw it was noon. I never slept that late.I stretched and tried to decide on my next move. I had the whole day to myself. I could spend my time looking for Emily or I could spend my time with Anthony. Spending the day with Anthony instantly appealed to me, and I had an excuse for not using my time to look for Emily – several members of the hunting population were looking for her and I might get caught. However, I knew that excuse was just a way to justify it to myself. I preferred the idea of being with Anthony.I figured that he would be downstairs so I walked out of the room with the intention of finding him. Once in the hallway, I stopped short. My senses flickered. Vampire. It wasn't Anthony or his brothers; this one was weaker.I saw her. She was thin. Long, messy black hair fell down her back

    ONE MONTH LATER"Hey there," Anthony greeted me in the school parking lot. I smiled upon seeing him and leaned into his embrace."Hi," I replied feeling content."Do you want to go out today?" he asked."Sure, where?" I wondered excitedly."Evelyn?" called a disturbingly familiar voice.I froze when I heard the voice. This was not happening. We weren't this careless. I looked up to see Anthony looking at me sadly, and then I turned to face Ethan.I couldn't hide my guilt from him. He looked furious. For a full minute no one moved. Then, all of a sudden, Ethan and Anthony were fighting. I'd almost missed the exact moment when Ethan attacked Anthony. I wanted to run between them, but I couldn't move.I woke up feeling disoriented and upset. Maybe the fact that my relationship with Anthony hadn't been discovered by anyone so far was making us sloppy. It was possible that my dream meant something. It could be that the cosmos were trying to warn me so I wouldn't be caught. Or perhaps it be

    I headed upstairs to see Emily. She looked much more civilized with combed hair and clean clothes. She was staring at herself in the mirror as if she'd never seen her reflection before. Although, I guess the new face would take some adjusting to."Juana said you wanted to see me?" I said when I entered the room."Should I be doing this?" she asked immediately. "I mean this vampire thing really isn't suitable for a vampire hunter," she paused and then corrected herself, "former vampire hunter.""It's not like you're going to be killing anybody," I tried to sooth her. "Anthony and his brothers will help you." She made a face at my words. "What?" I asked."How well do you know them?" she asked carefully. "Why do you trust them? I know they've said they haven't done anything evil, but anyone could say that."It took great feats of effort to not be angry and remember she was going through a tough time. "They've already helped you this much haven't they?""I know, but I've spent my whole li

    I jumped three feet away from Anthony, people stared at me. My heart was thumping painfully in my chest. Ethan only needed a few seconds to collect himself. After those few seconds, his expression became murderous.We'd been stupid of course. Very, very extremely, without a doubt, stupid, a month without problems had made us careless. I had known Ethan would be coming here, but did I consider that when I rushed like an overexcited teenager? No, of course not. Don't get me wrong, I'm fully aware that I am an overexcited teenager, but as a hunter, I'm not supposed to act like one.I was hyperaware of the very crowded mall. I imagined that it would be somewhat regrettable for the supernatural world if Ethan decided to start a vampire hunter versus vampire fight.Anthony was moving away from me slowly, obviously trying figure out what his best move should be. He glanced at me a few times trying to see what I wanted."Ethan," I said softly, slowly walking toward him.He didn't move. He did

    Emily and I watched as Juana sauntered out of the room with her stupid grin."What was that about?" Emily asked.I sighed. "Nothing, she's just trying to get on my nerves.""You okay?" Emily asked looking concerned."It's just stress," I said dejectedly. "Ethan found out about Anthony and me."Emily's eyes widened. "What? How? Is he going to tell anybody?"I bit my lip. "I'm not really sure. He wants to meet Anthony. He said if Anthony can prove he really is good, then he won't tell on me. Don't worry about that though, I'll deal with it. He doesn't know anything about you. And, if a miracle happens and he does end up thinking Anthony's good, maybe I'll be able to tell him about you.""That'd be nice," she said smiling. "But, honestly, I'm not going to get my hopes up.""Yeah, I know, me either."The boys walked back into the room. "Hey there, you're out of your room. Do you need anything?" Eric asked Emily. He had a giant grin on his face.She shook her head, but gave him a small smi

    Back at the house, the first person I saw was Olivia pacing up and down - an old habit she keeps up when things were bad."What's wrong?" I asked, drawing her attention to me. Her head snapped up, and she looked surprised as if I'd caught her off guard.Nicole walked in. "Oh good you're here." She looked relieved. She stared at the phone in her hands seeming to will it to ring."What's wrong?" I repeated my question.Nicole took a breath. "Don't panic, okay?"I frowned at the way her eyes were watery. Hunters did not cry on the job, and by the way Olivia and Nicole were tensed, they were definitely on the job."Mom's missing," Olivia blurted out. "She was hunting Lucas with Cheryl, but Cheryl said Mom didn't meet her at the place she was supposed to."I frowned. "How long ago was that?""About an hour," Cheryl answered walking into the room. "I tried calling her phone again. It's not even ringing any more.""Wait, that's not possible," I said. "She couldn't have been missing for an ho

    Juana looked a bit too happy as she walked out of the house with her head held high."Do you think we need to watch out for her?" Mark asked, ending the awkward silence that had followed her departure.Anthony shrugged. "I'll keep an eye on her, but she just likes to hear herself talk. I don't think she'll actually do anything. She's going to want a place to stay in the next three decades, I'm sure."It was the first time I'd ever heard Anthony mention that far into the future. It was an unimportant thing to be considering in the middle of all the chaos, but I couldn't help myself. I wasn't used to thinking very far into the future. Hunters lived day to day. I could never be one hundred percent sure that I was going to survive any hunting expedition. Up till now, that day to day attitude was what I'd applied to my relationship with Anthony.How would it work for us? Sure I was immortal too, maybe I was more fragile than he was, but I still had the potential to live forever. Hunters gr

    Anthony would be surprised when I told him what my sister wanted. I wasn't even sure how to tell him that she wanted to meet him."Hello?" he answered on the first ring."Hey Anthony," I was very aware of Nicole's glare while I spoke on the phone."How are you? Is everything okay?" he asked sounding worried at my hesitant voice."I'm fine, everything's fine, I think. Um," I paused unsure of how to tell him. "My sister knows everything now…"There was a silence on the other end. And then, "everything?""Yeah, with Emily and stuff, she wants to meet everyone," I said.Another silence. "Are you sure that's best?""Yeah, don't worry no one's going to get hurt." I heard Nicole hiss, but I wasn't brave enough to look in her direction."Alright, you can come over whenever you like. Just give me some time to tell everyone, okay?" The best thing about Anthony was that he could be calm in situations where I was likely to be freaking out."Okay, I'll see you in about an hour," I looked at Nicole

    Days passed, and we still hadn't killed Lucas. I was beginning to wonder if we ever would. Whenever I asked anyone, they said that they were waiting for the perfect time. The day-to-day monotony that came from doing nothing was wearing on me. More than once, I'd considered sneaking out at night to hunt some vampires just to work off all of my pent up energy, but I knew it was a bad idea. If any hunters caught me, I'd be dead. Even if I ever did work up the nerve to sneak out, there was no way it would be possible.Emily, Ethan, and my sisters came to the beach house to visit me often. I was suspicious that all the sporadic, unannounced visits were to make sure that I was staying in the house, but I didn't bring it up to anyone. The last thing I wanted was to get into another fight about how they all didn't trust me.I refused to talk to Anthony. He didn't seem too interested in talking to me either because I got no word from since I told him I wanted to break up. The rational part of

    Olivia and Emily looked from me to Anthony to me and took our unwavering attention from each other as their cue to leave the room. More of the same silence continued after they left. I wasn't sure where to start, so I was glad when he spoke first."How have you been?"I shrugged. "Oh, you know. I was lied to, and then I spent a few hours in a jail cell."He avoided my eyes when he spoke again. "I know you must be upset –""I really don't think you do," I interrupted. "You know, out of everyone, I expected you to be the one to always be honest with me.""I wanted to be. Things just got more complicated," he said softly."Complicated? I was so worried. I thought the Administratio was going to kill you! Not to mention Emily. And now I'm in hiding and we have to kill Lucas and everything is so messed up and –""It's not all about you, Evelyn," he yelled, cutting me off.I looked at him in shock. In all the time I'd known him, Anthony never raised his voice at me."Did you think about how

    The fury built up inside of me, and everything I'd wanted to scream at her from the moment she brought Anthony and Emily to the house spilled out."You bitch! What the hell is your problem? You ruined everything. I bet you're happy seeing me here, aren't you? I don't care how many years I end up stuck in here, when I get out I am going to kill you!"I stopped ranting for a moment to try and breathe properly. It didn't help. I was panting like I'd just finished running a marathon. Olivia remained calm, staring at me through the bars of my cell like I was an interesting animal at the zoo.It made me angry, the way she just looked at me. I wanted her to say something back. I wanted her to be as upset as I was."You are just an awful person, you know that?" I continued when she remained silent. "You're an awful, disgusting, vile, despicable human being. I was trying to help Emily, but you just wouldn't let me because you're terrible. I never want to see you again. You messed everything up

    The plan was this: I was supposed to convince Cheryl to help us kill Lucas, and then Nicole would come down and help me explain what we'd learned about my power and how we could use it to fight him. At no point did we ever discuss Olivia capturing Anthony and Emily and bringing them to the house."What are you doing?" Cheryl asked Olivia. I wanted to know the same thing, and it was good that Cheryl asked because I was too stunned to speak."I found them outside, near the house," Olivia said."What?" I asked, finally finding my voice. There was no way Anthony or Emily would come anywhere near my house."She's lying, Evelyn. We were at the house. She came out of nowhere and got us," Emily said. Her big, green eyes were pleading with me.I was so confused. None of this made sense. I looked at Olivia, waiting to hear what she had to say about this. She didn't explain anything. She just stared back at me, her lips curled into an arrogant smirk. Then it hit me."You lied to me!" I screamed.

    "Really?" I was intrigued about what they could have could have come up with since the Administratio was stumped."Hurry up and bring Ethan," Olivia told me impatiently.I hesitated. "You'll be nice to him? All of you? He's in a bad enough mood as it is so if you guys are just going bring him down more…""Evelyn, we have bigger problems than your vampire ex-boyfriend's feelings," Olivia said."He's not my ex-boyfriend," I protested, making sure to avoid looking at Anthony. I realized I would eventually have to tell him about Ethan almost kissing me, but that was a problem for another time."Just go get him, Evelyn," Nicole said."Fine, but if anybody does something I don't like, I'm leaving again." The words sounded bratty to my ears. I didn't want to come off as a child throwing a tantrum, but I needed to get my point across. I could never live with myself if Ethan died…again.I teleported back to the motel to get Ethan. I didn't say anything to him, just grabbed the sleeve of his sh

    His lips were less than an inch away from mine. I was not going to let this happen."Ethan, no," I said pushing him away.His nostrils flared. "Why not?""Well, besides my boyfriend, you're covered in blood, so right now the idea of kissing you is kind of gross. No offense," I added.Ethan looked down at his messy clothing and sighed. "I guess you have a point. So you're still gonna stay with the boyfriend even though he wants me dead huh?"Oh no. I was not about to let him make me feel guilty. "Olivia and Nicole want you dead too. Should I disown them?"Ethan grinned playfully, all intensity forgotten. "I'd be very flattered if you did."I smiled back at him. "I'm going to going to get you some clean clothes. Will you promise me that you'll stay here while I'm gone? You could take a shower and try to wash off all the blood from your skin.""Sure thing, boss," he said.I frowned at how well he was cooperating with me. After all, just a few minutes ago he'd been set on having me kill h

    "You turned him?" I shrieked, horrified and more confused than I'd ever been in my life."Really, Evelyn, your ability to put two and two together is quite mind blowing," Lucas taunted."That's n-not possible," I stammered, trying to wrap my head around what was clearly right in front of me.Lucas just stared back at me, amusement dancing in his eyes. I could tell he was enjoying everyone's confusion."We buried Ethan's body," Nicole murmured.That was exactly what I was thinking. Ethan was dead. I'd held his lifeless body myself. There'd been tons of people at his funeral. They'd all seen him get buried. It wasn't possible to change someone into a vampire after they died."What did you do, Lucas?" Anthony asked."I can't believe you're being so cold to me, Anthony. And all because of one little huntress," Lucas said. "Do you really think you can trust her? Think about it, she's already gotten you to invite two of her vampire-hating sisters into your home with open arms. It won't be l

    "Sister, " Halimat called Rofiat who was situated on the bed missing mindedly. "Sister," she called once more, contacting Rofiat by the shoulder and yanking her off to the real world."Indeed," Rofiat went to reply."What's wrong? Since you returned, you've been looking so upset." Halimat said."Nothing dear," Rofiat turned around. Hadijat was currently remaining before her, on the side of Halimat's inquiry."Yet, you've not been adding to whatever we've been saying since," Hadijat participated in the discussion."Nothing," Rofiat attempted to counterfeit a grin."That is clearly false, it's all around your face that something is off-base" Hadijat demanded. "Accomplished something happen where you all went to?""Nothing occurred," she addressed forcefully. "We didn't actually get to meet those we went for.""Then, at that point, what's wrong?"
