/> "Zoey! Why would you do that to him?" she said
"He deserved it." I said
"You made me lose a customer. Now they left. What you have to say for yourself?"
"I'm happy now." I smiled.
"You think this is funny. You better be lucky that I love you. Go clean up your mess."

'sigh'. I left out the room and cleaned up the mess. After that, I took other people's orders and served them their food. When the last customer left, I changed the sign to 'CLOSED'. Joe came out the back room with his things.

"See you guys tomorrow. I have to leave." he said.
"Bye Joe." Hope said. After Joe left, I was about to leave, but Hope stopped me. "Zoey, I need you to close up."
"Why?" I said
"I need to pick up my son from the babysitter. Tony forgot to pick him up."
"Ok. I'll close up. Tell Zachary, I said hi."
"Thanks Zoey." Hope was about to turn around and leave, but she stopped. She pulled a gift from her bag and gave it to me. "This is for you."

Before I could say anything, Hope gave me the gift and left. I look out the window as Hope got in her car and left.

'Sigh' I put Hope's gift in my duffel bag and finish cleaning the diner. When I was done, it was dark outside. I grabbed my things, left out the diner, and locked the doors. I start walking toward my motorcycle. While I was walking, I could feel someone watching me. I stopped and turned around and looked around. When I didn't see no one, I turned back around and keep walking.

"Zoey" I heard a mysterious voice. I froze and turned back around again.

"Who's there?" I said. I looked around again.

"Zoey." I heard the voice again. My heart was beating so fast. I look into the street light and I see a shadow. I gasped.
"Leave me alone!" I turned around for a second and the shadow person was gone. I could hear laughter. I ran to my motorcycle and got on. I feel goose bumps on my arms. I put my helmet on and start the engine. I drove off toward the house. I tried paying attention to the road. When I got to the house, I parked my motorcycle in the garage and ran into the house. I slammed the door and locked it. I leaned on the door, slid down to the floor and I start crying. Mitchelle and Brian came to me.

"Zoey, what's wrong?" Mitchelle asked. I didn't answer, I just kept crying. Mitchelle pulled me up to stand and hugged me. I cried in her arms while she led me to the couch to sit. Mitchelle and Brian comforted me while I cried. When I finally calmed down, I wiped my eyes.

"Are you ok?" Brian asked.
"I'm fine." I said
"Do you want to talk about what happened?"
"No. I just want to go to bed."
"Do you want anything to eat?" Mitchelle said.
"I already ate." I said. I got up, walked up the stairs to my bedroom, shut the door, and locked it. I put on my night clothes and closed my blinds to the window. I went into bed shaking because I was so scared. Who was this person? I don't recognize the person voice. I turned off the light and laid back. I took deep breaths to calm down. When I did, I finally fell into a deep sleep. I never got to open Joe and Hope's gift they gave me. All through the night, I couldn't stop thinking about that voice.

Adrian

I drive into one of the garages at my house. I am so frustrated, I got out of the car and slammed the door shut.

"Hey. The car didn't do anything to you. Also, you almost left me in the car." Lily said. Lily got out the car and fixed her hair. I pushed Lily to the garage door.

"This is all your fault. You knew Zoey was going to be in that diner. I should have known because you usually eat at 5 star restaurants. You were just tying to get on my nerves."
"Adrian, your grip is getting tight on my arm." Calm down."
"Calm down! I want to tear you to pieces." Be fore I was able to attack, someone pulled me across the room. When my vision cleared, I was able to see the unexpected visitor standing over me. Uncle Damien left from in front of me and went to see if Lily was okay. I got up and dusted myself off. I turned to Uncle Damien.

"What are you doing here, Uncle Damien?" I asked "You were not suppose to come back here."
"Well hello to you too." he said
"You ignoring my question." The smile that was on my uncle's face is now gone. Mom and Dad came into the garage.

"What is going on?" Mom said
"Guess who's back?" I said coldly. I frowned at Uncle Damien. Mom and Dad stopped when they saw him.
"Damien. You shouldn't be here." Dad said.
"Wow. No hug? I thought you would be happy to see me." Uncle Damien said
"Let's go inside the house. "Mom said. We all went to the house and sat down in the living room. Our nurse/ therapist, Serena came into the living room. Serena is a witch. She came to work for my family for a few years. She is a nice woman. Whenever I need advice, she was there. Serena never tell us her last name or anything else. She never tell us about her family. Every time I asked, she would get sad. Serena is in her 30's. She has black hair with blue eyes.

Serena came to us and gave us a cup of tea. I refused to have any. When Serena was leaving, I can see Uncle Damien staring at her.

"She haven't changed a bit." he said. I looked at him and frowned
"What is your problem?" I asked. The only thing that Uncle Damien did was smile.
"You need to leave." Dad said
"Why?" Uncle Damien asked
"You not supposed to be here in the first place." Mom said
"Don't tell me that you still mad about what happened."
"Of course we are!!" I said
"Calm down, Adrian." Dad said. I look at him, then at Uncle Damien.
"Damien, tell us why you here?" Mom said
"I just need a place to stay." Uncle Damien said. Lily just sat there quietly.
"Remember the last time you stayed. Someone got hurt. We were almost exposed."
"I could have taken care of that girl if someone haven't stopped me." Uncle Damien looked at me.
"If you did, then we would be in more trouble." I said
"I can go get her. Get this over with." he said
"Don't you dare touch her!" I growled. Everyone looked at me. Uncle Damien smiled.
"Adrian, go upstairs with Lily while we talk to Damien" Dad said
"I'm not going no where." I said
"Now. Go." I look at Dad. I look at Dad and was about to say something, but Lily grabbed my hand.
"Let's just go." Lily said. I finally gave up. I stood up and we went upstairs. I hate leaving like this. I went to my room while Lily followed me. She shut the door. I sat down on the be and smooth my hair back.

I can't believe he is here." I said. Lily sat next to me.
"You were really defensive down there." Lily said.
"I just got angry."
"Over a girl. Do you know her?" I look at Lily.
"No. I just don't want nobody else to get hurt." Lily look at me, searching if I was telling the truth. She sighed.
"Me too. I'm really sorry about what happened at the diner."
"It's fine. I forgot all about it. Sorry about what happen at the garage."
"I'm use to it. Why do we fight all the time."
"I don't know. Because you're my sister. Even if you get on my nerves, I still love you." Lily smiled, then hugged me. After a minute, I pulled back. "Ok, ok. Don't get all soft on me.
"I love you too." I smiled
"Of course. Everyone loves me. Don't let the smile fool you."
Lily laughed. "Shut up." Lily stopped laughing when Mom and Dad came into the room. I look at both of them.

"SO..." I said. Mom and Dad look at each other, then back at us.
"He's staying." Dad said. Me and Lily look at them in shock.
"What?!" Lily and I said at the same time.

Zoey

I'm back in the woods and I'm running. Adrenaline rushing through my veins as I ran from the vampire that killed my father. I did not know If they were following me or not, but I did not want to find out. As I was running, the moonlight was guiding me through the woods. I was almost out, until the vampire just appear in front of me. I tried to move away from him, but he kept blocking me. I tried to scream but he put his hand over my mouth.

"This will only hurt a little." the vampire said
I whimpered. He almost bit my neck until another vampire came and pulled him away. He tried to come to me again, but the other vampire pulled him back. Once he left, the vampire who saved my life looked right at me. My heart start racing. The vampire was in the shadow, so I couldn't see his face. All I saw was his eyes. Emerald green.
*********************

'Beep''Beep' I sat up quickly after the nightmare. I finally realized that my alarm clock was going off, so I turned it off. My heart is beating so fast. That was a strange dream. Something is telling me that the dream is suppose to mean something. There is something about that vampire, seemed familiar. Soon, Adrian popped up in my mind, which made me more curious, but I don't want to think about that jerk right now.

I got out of bed and went
