I shouldn't have told him. But he would have found out at  some point anyway. At least then he would have believed me if he had seen it with his own eyes. No, he would have probably ran away if that was the case. Who would want to go out with a girl who hunted Supernatural beings? It would  have put I him in danger too. I'm better off by myself, she thought. However the last sentence she didn't really mean because deep down she wanted Merton to believe her and except her for who she was. That it would still be possible to date but she wouldn't get her hopes up. Yes, she was upset that they wouldn't go out together again but she was sure that she would get over it. She had already lost so many people. Yes, it might take longer this time but that didn't mean she would never move on.

There was no good in just laying in her bed thinking about him so it was probably a really great time to go check out that strange sorority, group thing. There was something about them that made her feel like that they were vampires. She could be wrong but, she had never seen them step outside through the day time. However it was better to be safe than sorry, in case someone ended up dead, drained of blood.

She climbed out of bed and knelt down to get her stake and cross bow and wooden arrows out of her weapon bag. Then placed her stake in her coat pocket and the arrow bag over her shoulder, while kicking the bag back under the bed. She was so glad that Mina hadn't decided to go through her stuff because otherwise she would have to think of a good reason for her weapons and strange herbs, and she hoped it stayed that way.

Then she headed out.

"This is it," Lori told them stopping and pointing towards one of the doors in the corridor.

"Shall we get this over and done with?" Merton wondered.

"That's if it's open," Lori replied.

"Yeah. Tommy try the door," Merton said.

"Why me?" He wondered.

"Because you're the werewolf," Merton answered.

"Fine, whatever," he said and walked towards the door and reached for the handle. He pushed it open slowly and only by an inch. "Looks like it's open," he added.

"Let's go then," Lori said.

"Sure just one minute," Merton told his friends.

"For what?" Lori wondered. Instead of responding to her he kicked Tommy as hard as he could in the leg. Tommy grabbed his leg and howled in pain as he wolfed out.

"What the hell man, why did you do that?" He cried out.

"You know just a precaution," Merton replied.

"You didn't need to kick him. I'm sure he would have wolfed out when needed," Lori told Merton, firmly.

"Well I didn't fancy taking that chance," he said. Tommy just glared at him before turning around to enter through the door.

Lori started to follow after him and then Merton followed close behind her, holding onto her shoulder with his free hand. Now that they were about to enter he could feel his heart racing and the memory of the vampires trying to drain his blood came flooding back. She looked back over her at him. Giving him a look as to say what are you doing?

"Sorry," he mumbled and let go of her. He took a hold of the water gun with both hands and held on tighter as he stepped inside after his friends.

Colette had arrived outside the door when she adjusted the arrow bag on her shoulder, and then she entered.

She almost gasped in shock. She knew that she would possibly encounter vampires but there was a werewolf fighting them and a blonde girl. She couldn't see her face as she was turned away from her. It seemed strange that they were here fighting them. Also she had no idea that there was a werewolf on campus. That was another thing she would have to deal with but the vampires were her top priority right now. She was about to join in the fight when she noticed one of them vampires blocking  someone into a corner of the room, walking closer to them making them back up against the wall slowly. The person had a water gun, probably filled with garlic juice held out to the vampire but somehow it got knocked out their hand. She decided to go help them so she headed in that direction as the vampire headed closer to the person.

"Wait, you don't want to feed on me. My blood lacks iron, I'm amimic," the person said. Hang on, she knew that voice but there was no way right? Na, she was probably just imagining it.

She shook her head and held out her cross bow in front of her. Then she took out an arrow placing it carefully on the bow. There was no way she would get a good shot directly to the heart, but she needed to do something quick. She pointed it towards the vampire and fired it. It flew through the air hitting the vampire in the shoulder. As quickly as she could she reached for another bow while the vampire grabbed the arrow to pull out and turned around to face her. She wouldn't let the vampire have time to pull out the previous arrow and heal so she aimed and fired the second arrow. This time it entered where it's heart was. Shock and fear registered on its face before it turned to dust.

Now, she could see the face of its victim and she had been right.

"Thanks, T... Colette," Merton said looking towards her.

"Merton?" She asked him, trying to figure out why he was there of all places.

"Erm... Hi, Colette how are you?" He asked obviously feeling awkward.

"Good," she replied back. Merton went to go pick up his water gun off of the floor and then returned to standing in front of her.

"What are-" She started to say but Merton cut her off.

"Hold that thought," he told her as he lifted his gun and shot it at something behind her. There came a hiss from behind her so she whipped out the stake from her pocket as she turned around, coming face to face with a vampire. It was still recovering from having garlic squrited in it's face so she staked it before it could do so. Ash fell to the floor instead of a body. She turned back around to face Merton.

"Thank you," she said.

"You're welcome. You saved my life first anyway," he said.

"What are you doing here anyway?" She asked him what she was going to ask before.

"It would be better to have this conversation later. There is still vampires that need staking," he answered.

"Right," she replied.

They were about to go help the werewolf and girl with the remaining vampires when all of a sudden they flew towards the wall. It looked as if the boy vampire casted some sort of magic.

Merton ran towards him and Colette followed after but they didn't reach them instead they went flying backwards just like the blonde girl and werewolf, crashing into the wall behind them dropping the weapons in their hands.

Colette then noticed that  a girl vampire were holding out a hand towards them. They were vampires not witches so how could they cast magic.

"How are they doing this?" She spoke allowed to her self.

"They are Warlocks too," Merton said.

"Well that would explain it," she said.

"Looks like we are going to have a feast tonight, Ella,"  Reece told the girl vampire, grinning.

"I wouldn't count on that," Colette shouted. She refused to die like this, right now. Not after she had just found out Merton hunted supernaturals too. She didn't want to die without the chance to sort out their relationship.

"You might have been able to slay our coven members but we are stronger than them,"   told her.

Tommy growled as he tried to pull away from the wall.

Reece laughed, "I wouldn't even try wolf boy, you're not going to be able to get away from that wall."

It was extremely hard and painful but Tommy was determined to move from the wall. He moved a little by little until he could move more easily and then ran for the cross bow and a arrow Colette had dropped. Reece looked really worried.

"Go Tommy," Merton cheered.

When he had manged to pick up the wrap he went flying back against the wall but he managed to break free again. He held the bow out and shot him before he had time to react. Lori stepped forward and she could move.

"No,"  Ella screamed and Colette and Merton fell to the floor.

The boy vampire was knelt down on the floor trying to pull out the arrow. Tommy wasn't a good shot. He had tried aiming for its heart but it stabbed his stomach instead. His only chance now was to stake it him traditional way before he recovered. Tommy took out the stake as he approached the struggling vampire. Ella  started to run towards him.

"Hey, you blood drinking demon," Merton shouted and she stopped and turned around to face him. He held up his water gun which he had just picked back up off the floor. "Have some garlic," he said and squirted her. She lifted her hands to her burning face and hissed in pain. Colette ran towards her and staked her while Tommy staked Reece.

"I'm glad that's over," the blonde haired girl spoke. That's when Colette noticed who it was. It was that girl Merton introduced her too, his and Tommy's friend. Lori was her name right? Then that meant that this werewolf was Tommy. No wonder Merton ran off earlier when she told him what had happened her sister, his best friend was a werewolf...

"Tommy, please give me back my bow," she said nervously but she wanted it back in case he tried to attack her.

"Sure," he said and held it out to her. She snatched it as quickly as she could from his hands or paws. Then she took out another arrow and placed it on the bow pointing  it towards him. She wasn't going to fire it though because she was uncertain as to whether or not he was evil. He did just slay vampires but werewolves and vampires have always been enemies and he hadn't tried to hurt her before but that didn't prove anything. Also she didn't feel like killing someone she knew especially Merton's best friend but if it was needed then she wouldn't hesitate to do it. The arrows probably wouldn't work in killing him anyway but at least it would hurt him enough to make a run for it, if he tried anything.

"No, Colette don't,"  Merton ordered jumping in front of her.

"Move out the way Merton," she said.

"No, you're going to kill Tommy," he told her.

"No, I'm not. I'm figuring out if he is evil or not first," she said.

"He isn't. He is a good werewolf. He isn't like that werewolf that killed your sister," he told him.

"Prove it," she ordered him.

"I can't," he replied.

"Then move,"

"Colette trust me please. He has saved my life countless of times and many other people's. He has even saved the world from ending. If he was evil why would he save the world," he explained.

"That doesn't mean he hasn't killed anyone his self," she said.

"I swear I have never killed anyone," Tommy said.

"Well except for a few vampires and other evil supernaturals," Merton added.

"Yeah. You can trust me. I am a good werewolf," Tommy said.

"He has the biggest, most kindest heart than anyonr else I know," Merton said and Tommy pointed to his chest, in the wrong place. He meant to point to his heart but his finger was at the wrong side.

Merton took hold of his wrist and moved his hand a little more to the left. "Stop correcting me all the time when I point to my heart," Tommy said dropping his hand and Merton let go of him.

"I wouldn't need to if you pointed to the right place," Merton said.

"Okay, I believe you," Colette said lowering the cross bow. She was still a little uneasy about trusting him but she did trust Merton. Which was stupid because she hadn't known him all that long. Anyway if it did turn out Tommy was evil she didn't mind killing him.

"Thank you," Tommy said.

"It'll be nice having hunting partners, if you want me to join you that is," Colette said.

"I don't know," Tommy said.

"I promise I won't try to kill you. You have said that you are good and haven't killed anyone and I believe you. I also promise that your secret will be safe with me," she said. Not that anyone would believe her and she had never been one to tell secrets.

"I don't see how it would do any harm. Besides it will be good to have a fourth member and someone to help you guys when I can't be here," Lori said.

"You only want her to join us because she is a girl," Tommy said.

"So what if I do? What's wrong with girls?" Lori asked crossing her arms.

"Nothing. I didn't mean it like that," he replied.

"Can I join then?" Colette asked.

"Yeah, Okay," Tommy answered.

"Yey, I don't have to break up with you now," Merton said as he pulled Colette into a hug, very infusasticaly.

"What you was going to break up with me?" Colette asked. Merton let go and stepped back.

"Well that was before we knew if you would be excepting of Tommy's secret."

"If you told me and explained, I would have understood," she said.

"I couldn't because I didn't know that," Merton explained.

"That's understandable. You just wanted to make sure your friend stayed safe," she agreed. "I'm just glad that I found out about him," she added.

"You still want to date me right, even though I was thinking of breaking up with you?"

"Well that was before I knew and you didn't really want to thought right you was just worried about your friend?"

"Right. I don't want us to break up," Merton told her.

"And neither do I," she said. Merton hugged her again and tried kissing her. This time he felt her lips meet his. He had expected her to pull away from him again and his heart fluttered with excitement.

"Come on, love birds let's get out of here," he heard Tommy say as he tapped him on the back. Both him and Colette stopped kissing and they all made their way out of the vampire room.
