My sister wasn't wrong, I would have to do some studying. I had a feeling that working with Maddie might actually be quite fun! I was always interested in her grimoire, and thanks to Sarah..I know I lot more about them.

"This. Is. So. Good!" Maddie exclaimed, her face stuck in a gleaming smile, I chuckled and nodded along. Slowly I turned to Annie and poked her elbow gently, "Do you like your quesadillas? Can I try one?" even if she said no, my forked was raised and ready to snatch piece.

Kelly had barely touched her plate. Yet, she was currently looking displeased as she poked her straw through the ice in her glass. Her empty glass that is. "I do have to say." Maddie started, while I was still preparing to snatch one of Annie's quesadillas. "I'm not paying for this meal on my own."

"Meh. No problem!" Maddie replied, pulling out her phone and clicking it on. "But hey! We've successfully wasted two and a half hours."

Annie loved food? Though that was clearly a normal statement, in our lifestyle I had a feeling it was double meaning. Yeah, she forgot her love for food after she became a vampire. Hazel eyes going up, I expected Maddie and Kelly to show some type of reaction, but everything was normal.

"Awesome, here Mad." Kelly went ahead and slid fifteen dollars across the table to Maddie. The witch smirked and handed the black receipt booklet back to the waitress. "Alright! Now what? It's daylight, why not we go see a movie?"

"There's a movie theater in Whitmore?" I inquired, finishing off the last of my macaroni. "It's small, but sufficient." Maddie replied as she shifted to slide out of the seat. The waitress had returned for one last checkup and goodbye; then walked off to the next table.

Towards the exit of this Ruby Tuesday, people were now piling in. It was the out-of-class dinner rush, and I found myself grateful for arriving early. "There should be a six o'clock movie time so, I guess we'll head out now." Maddie added.

Bumps (don't want it to be locked)

Trust me, trying to crowd in all this schoolwork before summer is stressful, but in all honesty...I'm happy for you! You are an amazing writer and I believe you'll knock it out of the box once you begin typing. I'm actually just getting into hetalia so I now have a fanfic to read!

LOL I'm not going to kill you in fact, I might be able to help! If you want some ideas for something. So let's see....Shepard's daughter, and an emperor....I personally love history stories. I'm guessing, Ingrid and the Emperor have some relationship?

Hehehe, good luck though! AT LEAST IT'S DUE AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR

[fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 350px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; opacity: 0.95; letter-spacing: 1px][color=white]HMMM, yes I am thinking of a couple ideas. So far however, I am liking the story! I can literally see like scenes play out omg Okay so, brutal life lesson...I'm thinking, save the big brother, father imprisonment plan for later bc, if you stick with that..you can use it as a BAM for later.

Anywho, the Emperor can take a liking to Ingrid. (But bc he's a meanie he's gonna be brutal) and want to like..raise her, train her, form this emotional abusive relationship type issue where he uses her it doesn't have to be that deep so he can take her in? Promise her everything? All that jazz. for whatever reason that is but Ingrid will probably still care deeply for her village and possibly witnesses just how tyrant of a leader the Emperor is and can like invest in some double agent stuff.

Here is where that big brother, father imprisonment thing comes in! BAM, she's thrown over the edge and the revelation-for-revelation happenes. Brutal life lesson for the Emperor...and that's about all that came off the top of my head!

Yeah, maybe not...I'll keep thinking tho!!

Good luck with it!!-

"Oh? Let me check." I replied to Annie, pulling out my phone from my back pocket. We were just out of the door before I stopped in the waiting area and leaned against the wall. Figuring I'll stall here while I searched the internet. I knew there were some good, action-packed movies coming out, I was just hoping one of them will fall on the six o'clock time.

"Let's see, we have Lily with us so nothing too adult." I chuckled teasingly, finding myself engulfed in the tiny screen of my phone. Lily shrugged, crossing her arms and leaning against Kelly. I began to spit out movie titles. Everything from superhero movies to cheesy comedies, as long as it fell in the pg-13 rating.

"Divergent!" Lily called out, catching my attention. Kelly nodded vigorously, patting Lily's head affectionately.

"Divergent? " I repeated, looking from Lily to Kelly, and finally my attention averted to where Annie was. "Divergent?"

I sat on the couch of the living room. The entire room was filled with the soft rock of Three Days Grace. I sat crisscrossed, my journal in my palm as I began to write. Humming the lyrics softly, I wrote about Annie. It started off a description of my feelings over everything happening. My worries for schooling Lily, Lily being a hunter. Then Annie came into the picture, given she is Lily's sister, but something shocked me and now I couldn't erase it.

I still loved her.

"My god, your listening to Three Days Grace." Jesse's voice made me jump. I quickly shut the journal, for no matter how many times I went over the words with the eraser, the dent on the paper still showed a clear sentence.

"Is, that a bad thing?" I ask, trying to act casual. I sat up straight and hid the journal behind me.

"Yes. It means you're happy." Jesse grumbled. I was left utterly confused, watching him walk over to the stereo. "That's a bad thing?"

"Yes! No. Just means that a happy Darren, is an annoying one." Jesse clicked the off button. He turned off my music? Oh but he was right, I was happy. And it was because I was happy, that I didn't glare at him. "You don't have to be mean."

"Now he's using the word 'mean'. Get a life Darren, stop writing in your guilty pleasure diary." he said, crossing his arms.

I scratched the back of my neck bashfully, "It's not a guilty pleasure diary. What's up Jesse? Why are you being so mea- eh em! Rude?"

Jesse at first rolled his eyes, then frowned. "I don't know. Maybe, maybe it's-"
He was cut short, a ringle had interrupted his sentence. At first I didn't recognize it, then it clicked,

Ah. My phone!

I reached over the couch, seeing the buzzing item on the arm of the couch. My fingers about to grasp it; then it was gone. Gone? Where did it go? A gust of gentle wind told me Jesse had swooped in and took it. .

"Darren's phone." he answered, smiling cheerfully. My eyes widened, I stared at my older brother in slight shock. 'Give it back.' I mouthed, like that would help.

'No.' he mouthed back, then his expression turned complete sadistic and his eyes turned up to the ceiling. "Keep it from Jesse huh? Why..?"

It was Annie. I gasped lightly, standing up and charging after him. I went to snatch the phone, my phone, but he dodged and we engaged in a silent fight; him dodging and stepping back while I threw out all of the hits and jabs.

Whatever Annie was saying on the other line seemed to have distracted him, so I found an opening and stole my phone back. I wasted no time, using vampire speed to whisk out of the room; out of the house, until I reached the end of the driveway.

"Uh. Huh!? Annie? Annie! It's Darren now..I promise."

She was probably right, the way Jesse said his words. But I wondered what it could possibly be that she needed me specifically for? And now I had to keep it from a nagging Jesse even further.

"No. I'm not busy, what is it?" I asked softly, glancing behind me to make sure my brother wasn't there. He wasn't, maybe he was in his room sulking. Slowly, I began to walk back towards the house.

"And I'll try to keep it away from Jesse further." I tried to sound assuring, I wanted to appear open and available. She had called me for help, not Jesse. Something about that statement made my heart skip. At this moment, I'd be happy to do anything for Annie.

'It's almost like I'm... God. It's like I'm hitting you up for drugs or something.'

At that, I knew it was bad. Well not terrible, just it involved blood and that made me nervous. "Oh-" Before I could speak, she went on the defensive side. 'I can't bite anyone, Darren. If I let myself do that, I'm worried..'

Right, so she was afraid. This was why I offered her animal blood in the first place! Now it was too late, but she just had to follow Jesse. This was exactly what I was trying to avoid, and I told Jesse that!

"You might not be able to stop." We had said that in unison, and to be honest, it made me smile bashfully at the wooden floor below my feet. Already I unterstood why Jesse couldn't be involved, Maddie was with her. Plus, it would the perfect chance to harass Annie.

And if on the topic of blood, matters would only be worse. "Right right. I get it. Where will you be exactly?"
I had been to Whitmore before, on my quest to become a doctor before that ultimately failed.
"Just give me one hour. I'll be there."

Before I hung up, I had to bite my tongue from saying 'I love you.' Yeesh that would've been detrimental. I stared at the kitchen entryway, my eyes finding the black mini fridge instantly. Jesse was nowhere to be found...

This may be harder than it seems.

"Four tickets to Divergent please!" Lily said sweetly, her elbows resting on the counter of the booth.

"The six o'clock show?"

"That'd be it."

"Alright, theater isn't open for seating yet but here you go." Lily was handed the tickets, she took them with a smile, reading over them as she walked our way. The paper was thin, like a receipt, and they flopped in the small breeze from her walking. "Hope Annie's okay." I said, sitting at a small table with Maddie.

The witch didn't look as concerned as me, in fact, she was the one who began walking away after Annie declared she had to make a phone call! But what really got me thinking was the fact that she was calling Darren. It made me wonder if it had anything to do with blood..

But surely she'd call Jesse for that? Lily slid into the chair beside me, leaving an empty one beside Maddie. "He said the theater isn't open for seating yet, guess'll we'll have to wait."

Lily's enthusiasm for this movie made me grin. It was a good thing too, this whole ordeal was! Just us girls, sitting calmly with no worries. Except, two of us were vampires who had to deal with an ever appending bloodlust. But for now, I felt fine, having suppressed it to a point.

"Sup Annie." I greeted, picking at the corner of the movie ticket. "So? Is everything going well?" Maddie inquired, finally lifting her head at Annie's arrival. Kelly nodded as well, curious about things back at home.

Home. Not that I didn't want to return. But something about leaving this awesome town brought a frown to my face. It was like a vacation! Small, short, but away from the hardships of being home. However, I was also curious about Jesse and Darren.

Whenever Annie left the house, it was always me and at least one of the brothers...now, they were on their own.

Funny, since they were on their own ten years ago. "How long is this movie?"

"A little longer than two hours." Maddie replied cheerfully, "So we'll be out by, eight?"

"Eight-nineteen, most likely." Kelly pitched in, my face glowed. I looked to my sister with a wide grin, but my eyes went straight past her head. A digital sign was buzzing, showing everyone that, Divergent, was now seating. "Let's go, Let's go!"

Dammit. Dammit. Dammit.

That man's office doesn't open until 7 p.m. tomorrow. Which meant I had to wait longer. It wasn't that much of a big deal anyway, if I really wanted to, I could just break in.

But that wouldn't be much fun, and neither would drawing attention. This was about stealth, get in, get out before anyone notices. Then again, this was a witch I was messing with, I needed to watch my words..

Oh well, taking advantage of Joseph's time will just have to do. He seemed excited about seeing me at six, so why not huh? It was only for a day...in a half. I sucked any remains from my thumb, making my way back over to the office building parking lot. He had dropped me off here, and if my memory serves me right, I told him I'll be here when the time came.

"Six on the dot." I murmured, standing next to an oak tree and bench. Behind me the sun was beginning to set, that didn't mean this town was slowing down however. Busy kids still bustled around, now either going home or heading to meet with their friends. My arms crossed, and my eyes became stoic and low.

Maybe it was the eye shadow that made them look so cold. But green irises went so well with a black background, I thought it fit perfectly. Pretty much I appeared the 'hard to approach' type. Standing there with an ankle crossed over the over, and waiting.

I soo wanna see it! We're actually going this Wednesday and I literally CANNOT WAIT.-

I had gotten lost in space. The college nightlife huh? The mornings were filled with busy young adults, and the smell of coffee. Whereas the evening brings in refreshed, ready to party looking people.

An unrecognizable car pulled up in front of me. The window rolled down, revealing a good looking Joseph sitting back rather comfortably. I appeared uninterested at first..but his cheeky grin brought a smirk to my face.

"Clubs and parties? Ooh, let's go." I chuckled, my arms unfolded as I approached the car. I stopped by the passenger side, opening the door and sliding in smoothly. "How was class?"

Four hours went by fast, but it wasn't wasteful. I got a lot accomplished I say! After buckling in my seatbelt, I sat back in a smile; my right hand instantly going up to twirl a crimson loc.

"It's acceptable in my book." I propped an elbow up on the arm of the door, listening to his talk on the professor. Boring professor, equals boring class. Joseph must be really interested in this, I don't think I could stand sitting in class..listening to some middle-aged guy talk....

about stars!

For the majority of the ride, it was quiet. I didn't glance at Joseph much, but I had the feeling he was thinking. No, I sensed it. His little mind was working to try and figure me out...all the while, he let's me into his space. Into his life! It was comical really.

But this was nothing new, it just seems that's how I make an impression. I stole a small glance at the driver, very quickly before looking away. I guess I really like this guy...because there is nothing I truly want out of him...

He just buys me more time to stall.

When he stopped the car, parking in front of the dormitories, I made no move to get out. "Parties to crash? I'm intrigued, sure let's go." I showed an alluring smirk, then pulled against my seatbelt to shift closer to Joseph. "But. I'm on your schedule, so we'll leave when you say. Got it?" I made sure to keep a steady eye contact, balancing over the armrest.

"Hmph. This is gonna fun."

I LOVED IT-

"Hmm. You're right trust me. But, I don't know, it's a logical solution to be on your time." When he looked away I peeled back into my seat. What was going up in his mind? Not that it would be hard to find the answer, I liked the mystery game so I kept it even.

However, I think his eyes did glance down. I chuckled to myself, classic shy Joseph. I found his uncertainty of making a move first amusing. So I purposely held back, I wanna see if this guy actually has the 'balls' to pull a move on me.

My eyes closed in another chuckle, "Yeah, I'm game." I leaned back into the seat, opening my green eyes to peer out into the road. The sky was now a shade darker, rows of cars before restaurants and shops. Girls dressed up and ready for a hang out. I glanced down at my own attire. Shorts, and a tank top will just have to suffice today. I had brought a sweater jacket, but that was currently tied around my waist.
