After a few hours of movies and a pot of coffee, Raven managed to get a little bit of a nap before the vampires woke up. She fell asleep on a couch in the living room until someone sat down. Raven stretched before looking to see who it was. "Oh, hi Josh!"

He smiled widely. "Good night, Raven!" She chuckled at that. "What's the plan for today?" She asked. "Don't you mean tonight?" Devin asked walking out from the room. She laughed sarcasticly. "What's so funny?" Ryan asked following Devin into the kitchen. "We're just making jokes." Josh replied.

"Ricky! Get the fuck up!" Everyone heard Chris yell. "Damn it Ricky! You need to change your sleeping habit!" Angelo shouted. "Same to TJ! Get the hell up!" Chris screamed while everyone was laughing. They could hear Ricky and TJ complaining and saying insults at them. The others laughed harder.

After a few minutes, TJ and Ricky walked out mumbling angrily. Chris followed behind with a proud smirk before Angelo stepped out. "Thanks for the help, Chris. I never would have been able to wake him up." Angelo nodded toward TJ. He just flipped him off. "We usually have to wrestle Ricky awake every night. So thanks for the help." Chris chuckled.

"Ugh! Just shut up already!" TJ groaned. Ricky shrugged. "I'm use to it." He said to him. "Can we get our meals now?" Josh asked impatiently. "Fine. Let's go where we normally go." Angelo said. "Where's that?" Ryan asked a little concerned. "There's this house a few minutes away. We usually try to bring people back here then you know what happened after." TJ smiled darkly.

"Let's go. I'm starving." Devin said heading to the door. The others followed except for Chris. "You can join them you know." Raven said yawning. "I'm just going to sleep for a little bit longer." Chris nodded then left. Raven laid back on the couch for a few more hours before waking up hearing a noise.

It sounded like someone was walking on the porch. The doorbell rang making Raven almost jump off the couch. Taking a breath, she debated if she should open the door. The bell was ringing nonstop, leaving her annoyed. Reluctantly, she got up and went to the door.

A tall blonde man stood there looking rather upset. "Helo?" Raven asked shyly. The man brushed his already short blonde hair back but it ended up falling back into place. "Yes. Where are the two men that live here?" He asked gritting his teeth. "I'm not sure but I think they'll be back soon." She was about to close the door when he wedged his shoe into the doorframe. "Who are you? I've never seen you here before." He asked more serious than curious.

"I'm-I'm Samantha." Raven lied. She was taken off-gaurd when he pushed the door open. Raven landed on her back and stared in shock at him. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" She yelled angrily at him. "You are going to help me find them!" The man screamed at the top of his lungs. "Or what?" She hissed at him. The man reached into his back pocket and pulled out a knife still in its holder.

'Not again!' Raven thought partly scared and annoyed. The man stood above her. She smiled darkly at him before swinging her legs into his to make him fall to the ground. Raven quickly got up and ran outside. "Get back here, you bitch!" she heard him yelling behind her. Even though Raven had no idea where the vampires were, she tried to think of a way of why she kept changing. Being one would be easier to track down the others.

Running out of breath, Raven quickly looked for a place to hide. He stopped running after her a minute ago. There was a tree with lots of leaves, that would make a decent spot. She climbed quickly hoping no one saw her. After a few minutes, she thought of all the times she turned. "What do you think you're doing up there?" A voice asked making her scream from surprise.

Raven looked down and saw the same hooded person from the hotel. "Who are you?" Raven asked trying to make it clear she wanted to know. Raven couldn't see his face but she saw a slight smile on his lips. "You'll know sooner than I planned." Raven quickly climbed down and stood in front of him. "Why don't you make it quicker and just drop the hood and tell me who the hell you are!"

"Ambitious, aren't you?" He laughed amused. "How about the old game of 'you gotta catch me first'?" Raven crossed her arms and huffed. "I'm not a child, dumbass." He laughed more. "Then you'll just have to wait but if you decide, let me tell you one thing." He leaned forward to be inches away from her face. "What's that?" She whispered slighlty curious. The man's mouth twisted into a triumphed smile. "Never take your pulse for granted."

He took off running, surprisingly at a normal pace. Raven felt the urge to try and get him. They were both running down the street and the man was laughing evily the entire time. Raven was near him when he used his supernatural speed to disappear. Raven stopped abrutly and looked around. "fucking coward!"

Letting out a long slow breath, Raven turned around. The next thing she knew was the sound of a car horn then waking up in a pool of her own blood. "H-h-help." She spoke weakly. Raven's body tensed up when she felt her pulse slowing down. The last thing she remembered was feeling someone brushing her hair out of the way before whispering her name.

So, who do you think is whispering her name?....bet you'll never guess. (Hint, it's not Chris). The tall blonde person will return so if it's confusing why he's there, there's an explanation later on...
