Chapter 13
The four of them made their way back to Tommy and Merton's dorm. It was starting to get late, it was 10pm. Quite a few students were returning to there dorm rooms to get ready for bed because they probably had to be up early tomorrow. Others were clearly not bothered about being tired in the morning as it seemed as if someone was having a party. There was music blaring out one of the rooms in the corridor they were walking down. When they had finaly reached the dorm room the music from the party was just a murmured noise and Tommy was now back to looking just like a regular 18 year old.

Tommy unlocked the door and entered. The others followed. They all took a seat on the beds. Lori and Tommy sat on his bed while Merton and Colette sat on the edge of Merton's bed.

"So now that I know Tommy's secret, I won't be left out of the loop if you guys find any supernatural beings right?" Colette wondered. If the lads new something she didn't, she would like to be told that way she would always know exactly what she was going to fight. Unlike tonight when she had no clue that they were Warlocks too before setting out to fight them. If it hadn't been for Tommy and the others she might not have survived. It had been stupid of her, she had always been more careful than that. She had always made sure she knew as much as she could before entering battle, but she thought that maybe they would have been out hunting. That she could have just snuck in to have a quick peek and ran straight back out. Of course now she knew that it was careless, highly reckless and stupid. She didn't know why she hadn't been more careful, why she hadn't thought things through clearly.

"We will tell you," Tommy answered.

"Good," she said. Then she turned to face Merton. "Oh, Merton are you busy tomorrow evening?" She asked him.

"I have class work to do but I think I can spare an hour or two," he replied.

"Okay do you wanna print out our posters so that we can start handing them out?" She wondered.

"Sure but won't we have to ask the Principle if we can run a club and have a room we can use for meetings?" He pointed out.

"Right. We'll print out the posters first though because then when we go talk to him we can show him. That way it will look like we are serious and dedicated about it," she said.

"That's sounds like a good idea," Merton agreed.

"You're thinking of starting up a club. What club?" Tommy wondered.

"It's not really a club per say," Colette replied.

"Not a club but a guild," Merton answered with a grin.

"Oh, The Gothic Fantasy Guild. You're thinking about starting that back up," Tommy said.

"Yeah."

"Do you think that you'll get many members? I'm sure you will. I know that there was a few back at school but this is college though," Lori said.

"Of course there's already two members and we also have a really great poster design," she told them.

"Like the posters at school? The ones that always had Merton on them?" Lori asked.

"No," Merton replied.

"Actually, there's bats on it," Colette added.

"Really?" Lori wondered.

"Well he did suggest it but I said no. I mean yes he's the president but I don't know, I just didn't like that idea," Colette said.

"Remember, we both picked the bat one together," Merton told her.

"True. I was the one who came up with it though," she said.

"Yeah," he agreed.

"Well good luck. I'm sure you'll find members," Tommy said.

"Anyway, I think I might head back to my room and get ready for bed," Colette said and stood up. "So goodnight everyone," she added before turning around. Then she kissed Merton on the cheek.

"I'll see you tomorrow right?" She asked him when she was stood up straight again.

"Yeah, of course. Where are we meeting?" he replied.

"Outside my room. You remember were it is?" She asked.

"Yeah," he answered.

"Okay." She turned to head for the door.

"Goodnight," Lori and Tommy called as she was leaving.

"Guys, do you mind if I crash here tonight? This vampire hunting thing took a lot longer than I thought and I'm not sure if I'll be able to get a bus back to my college at this time. I'll leave first thing in the morning though because I have to be back for my lecture and back in time to have a shower and get changed," Lori said once the door had closed behind Colette.

"Sure. I'm not sure where you can sleep though," Tommy answered.

"Couldn't you go to your parents?" Merton wondered.

"I would but they don't really know that I'm here. If they knew that I had left college in the middle of the school week even if it was a free day, they wouldn't be happy," she explained. "Also I don't mind sleeping on the floor," she said.

"You can't sleep on the floor," Tommy said.

"Well there's nowhere else for me to sleep," she pointed out.

"You can have my bed and I'll sleep in the chair," Tommy offered.

"Don't be ridiculous. I'm not going to take your bed," she said.

"Well I'm not going to let you sleep on the floor," he told her.

"Well I'll sleep in the chair."

"It's not really comfortable," he said.

"Well it won't be comfortable for you either so what difference will it make?" She asked him.

"For God's sake why don't you just share the bed and stop bickering over it?" Merton suggested. There arguing was getting on his nervous and was giving him a bit of a head ache.

"Erm... because I don't want to," she replied.

"Well you can share with me then," Merton said.

"Thanks but no thanks. I'll think I'll pass," she told him.

"Just make up your minds will you? I'm tired," he said.

"Fine," she said and started to take off her shoes. Once they were off she jumped up onto Tommy's bed. "Touch me while I'm a sleep and I'll go all ninja on you and knock you out," she said firmly pointing at Tommy.

"I wouldn't do something like that and you know it," he said.

"I mean in anyway, even of your asleep," she told him.

"I'll try," he agreed.

"Good," she said and then pulled the blankets and laid down under them.

"Also try not to move around too much, I don't want to be knocked out," she added.

"Same goes for you too," he said. Then he took off his own shoes and laid down. His head was on the pillow but his legs were somewhat hanging off the side because he couldn't really fit. Normally, the bed was a little small to his liking but now there was even less space. Not that he'd complain though because it was probably as close as they'd ever get. They use to date but it didn't work out and now were just friends. It looked like that it would stay that way too. For awhile after they had broken up he still had feelings for her, he still had a tiny bit but not like he had before. In fact he was more than happy just being her best friend.

Finally, now I can go to sleep, Merton thought as he laid down in his own bed and pulled the covers up higher to cover himself. Then closed his eyes.
