Kate was in the kitchen making Mac & Cheese while Lissa was sitting in the living room looking out of the large windows at the full moon shining from behind the clouds in the sky.

It looked like it was going to rain that evening, although not a thunderstorm like Lissa often missed running outside into the middle off with her late best friend.

The TV was on, showing the news, but they fell deaf on Lissa's ears as she started to travel down memory lane, until the door knob jiggled before it opened.

Out of instinct, Lissa leapt to her feet, clutching a pillow, ready to throw it at the person walking into the apartment as she ran to safety. Even if the person failed to have ghost white skin and crimson eyes.

"Helen stopped me as she was leaving to walk Kips." The person, the man, said as he fully entered the house and closed the door behind him, locking the door and locking the latch. "She mentioned we have a new housemate. Is that why the door isn't blocked?"

Lissa, despite still being scared, frowned at the man's words, while Kate walked out of the kitchen, wearing an apron and with her hair pulled into a nearly sleek ponytail, holding a spatula with pursed lips.

"I didn't know if she was going to return, and because I knew you were going to be home for the night, I thought it best to leave it unblocked." Kate replied, her tone showed that she was displeased with how the situation had turned out but the ever-growing smile on her face showed Lissa that she was glad to see the man.

"Her name's Lissa Dracul." Kate told him before turning her head to Lissa, her forest green eyes finding her almost as if she knew where she was before even looking, "Lissa, this is Jeremy Shepherd. Our other roommate."

Jeremy and Lissa shared small pleasantries before Kate returned to kitchen to put the mac and cheese in the oven for a few minutes to get crispiness on top.

It wasn't before long that Kate walked out of the kitchen, still wearing the apron. And despite Jeremy leading Lissa back to the bedrooms area, Lissa was able to see, as she looked over her shoulder back, Kate gently take away the thin carpet that laid on the ground before the door.

Revealing scratch marks on the floor leading to the bookcase.

Lissa watched as Kate then walk to the other side of the bookcase that stood on the right of the door, from the perspective of someone that walked into the apartment, and use her whole body to push the bookcase in front of the door, slowly and carefully.

When Kate turned around to start walking towards the bedrooms area, allowing her dark forest green eyes to connect with Lissa's jade ones, allowing Kate to read the confusion that was swimming inside them.

"Do you have the new bedsheets ready?" Jeremy called out to Kate from inside his room, unaware that both his housemates were having a stare down.

"I have some extra bedding in my room." Kate replied as she walked past Lissa and into Jeremey's room

Despite being warned about Kate's lack of answers towards people, Lissa was deeply confused and perturbed that her new housemate, roommate even, would block the front door with a heavy and book filled bookcase.

"We should move the mattress first." Kate claimed as she watched Jeremy pull the bed cover off the mattress, having kept there only so the bed wouldn't catch dust.

"I know how to move a bed, we moved George's bed into my room after you arrived, remember." Jeremy sassed as he looked at Kate with an almost indignant look.

Kate smirks slightly before nudging Jeremy's shoulder and teasing him "I know you do, but you are tired, and when you're tired you don't think straight."

Jeremy rolled his eyes and pulled George's old bed, now Lissa's, away from the wall, giving enough space for a person to stand between the bedframe and the wall, which he instantly took before starting to push the mattress off the frame.

Kate was quick to catch the mattress once it was up straight on the side.

Lissa watched from the doorframe her new housemates drag the mattress from one bedroom and into her new one, she'd been used to having people do everything for her, be it at home or at school that not getting in there to help was not new of her.

After the mattress, the bedframe was moved, with a quick dismantling of the headboard, effortlessly and smoothly, showing how they had indeed moved the bed before as they knew how to maneuver the frame so it didn't hit anything.

Putting the bed back together was easy enough, especially since Kate only occupied one side of the room with her non-existing belongings and her bed.

Once the bed was put back together, it was ready to be made, and while Jeremy left to take a quick shower, Kate returned to the kitchen so their dinner didn't burn, leaving Lissa with bedding supplies to make her bed.

It felt strange, being in a room that she would have to share, much like she did back when she escaped from, but at the same time, a part of Lissa felt calm, knowing that somethings rarely change, even on the run.
