"Okay" Fabian asks as he meets us in the living room about an hour after everyone else went to bed "Amber said you know where the next piece of the clue is"

Nodding my head, we go to the kitchen "Trudy said that this oven never opens" motioning to the iron stove then the green stove "if I'm right" kneeling down, I have my necklace out and we smile when the oven opens.

"It's a hidden passage!" Amber quietly exclaims

"Of course" Fabian says as the pieces come to him "no wonder Victor couldn't open this stove, it was always meant to be a passageway"

"But to where?" Amber asks

I look inside "Maybe the cellar or a part of the cellar that no one has discovered, a secret part of it!" closing the passageway "let's go tomorrow, I don't think Victor is asleep"

"She's right" Fabian agrees with me "there was a reason to why Victor wanted us all in bed early tonight and ti wasn't for our well being in having a goods night rest" but once everyone else in bed, I pull out my journal that I keep for my year here. I started it when I started going up into the attic, it's this very thick leather journal with celestial decor on the cover of the sun and moon. While I also started making a picture collage for my time here in England, think of it as a photo album but you have more in the notebook like the dates and who the people are. It's a leather bound black notebook with the phasing of the moons on the top.

As I look up the different things as to what Zephyr could be, I find one that is related to vampires and look at that one. So far for mythical creatures of what he could be I have down a djinn, some undead creature like a zombie, or maybe even a demon. But the next thing I find, I don't know why but this one has me be pulled to the most. Cold Ones. As I scroll through what these things are, I see that they are essentially the gay version of a vampire. What makes them different is there cold skin, red eyes and the face that they sparkle in the sunlight. So I think back to every encounter and how he barely is ever in the sun, but that one moment I did see him I thought my eyes were deceiving me when he sparkled. Oh my god, is he a vampire?

"What are you looking at?" I jump up seeing Zephyr before me, he takes my laptop and smirks seeing what I found. I stare at him and notice the similarities in what I found "Do you believe this?"

"Yes" I whisper

Zephyr places the laptop down before running at me fast, he pushes me down onto the bed with his cold hands on wrists holding me down. My heart races very fast as I look up at him "Are you scared?"

"Why" I whisper "do you keep coming to me?"

He stares at me "Because you play a very important part in this life, a part that I intend to be apart of to get what I want"

'And what's that?" I ask

"Revenge" fear goes through me as his eyes blacken in rage, that's rage. Zephyr leans down to whisper in my ear "I won't kill you...I have big plans for you" pulling away, I try to calm down from how he runs out the window.

"Why" Amber asks "was the window open? Lera?"

"I couldn't get any sleep" I tell her "so I opened the window for a bit of fresh air" going over to the window, I close it "night" I try to get some sleep but what Zephyr says rings through my mind, he's going to kill me eventually but why? No, he didn't say that. He said that he has big plans for me. What plans? What happens after those big plans? He's the one who gave me the clues, the one who let me know about what he is. Why does he want revenge? What does he want with me?

When I finally sleep, I only dream of Zephyr killing me in many different ways. Some slow and some fast. There was even the weird dream of him having me twerk for like ten minutes straight before I woke up. When I am fully awake, Amber demands "What happened?"

"Zephyr's a vampire" I tell her

Her eyes widen "Really! Oh my god, wait? Are you his vampire bride?"

"I don't know" shaking my head "we can't tell anyone"

"But Fabian" she reminds me

Nodding my head "Fabian, yes--Sibuna?"

"Sibuna" the point of Sibuna is to never reveal any of the things we found to anyone outside of the club. You know what? Maybe we should have a meeting about the future Sibuna members, if there are any and make sure that they know the secrets we have and have them carry them to their graves. That it should only stay within the bloodline.

When we are at breakfast, I tell Fabian what happened as Amber is eating. I am not hungry, not after last night. When Amber screeches, we see Patricia with the jug of water so we go over to her "What the hell?" I demand

"I asked you" Patricia glares at Amber "to keep a secret, she's known me since we were eleven but now she's siding with someone who has only been here two minutes"

"Hey!" turning her around "I overheard you, Amber didn't tell me that you tried to steal my locket

"What?' she asks

"Patricia!" Mara comes in "what's going on?"

"Even if she didn't hear" Amber says "I would have told her since you shouldn't go through people's private things. That's like an unwritten rule"

"It's a written one" I correct

Patricia tosses the rest of the water on Amber "Some friend you are" she storms off then, what is her deal? From what I heard Patricia is a great person that people are friend's with but I don't see it, she has been nothing but a British version of Bella.

When it's dinner after a boring day at school, Patricia came in late. Don't know why and I don't care. We are all giving her the silent treatment, try to teach her a lesson since her behavior has been anything but one people want to be near. "Pass the juice please Mara" Patricia looks at her expectantly

Patricia gets up to get the juice herself as Trudy comes in commenting on how quiet we all are "Well, aren't we quiet tonight"

"No kidding" Patricia agrees, once Trudy is gone Patricia demands "What's with the silent treatment?"

"You were being a bitch to Amber" looking at her as I speak up since no one else will "this attitude you've had since your friend Joy left, it has been unacceptable. I get missing your friend, i do because I have a lot of close friend's back in America that I miss but you don't see me taking my anger and frustration out on anyone else. Plus like I said, I overheard you asking Amber not to tell me about trying to steal my necklace"

"Oh yeah?" she asks "and what do you think Mara? You don't like my attitude?"

"No" Mara shakes her head "since Joy left, we've all missed her and are curious as to where she went but you don't see any of us bullying anyone the way you have been"

'Why" Mick asks "did you try to take Lera's necklace?"

"I was going to borrow it" she says

"Then why not ask if you could borrow it?" Jerome asks "you do know that is how you typically borrow something, you ask a person if they could lend you the item and then make an arrangement as to when to get the object back"

""Why did you want my locket?' I ask

We all stare at her waiting for her reply "Personal reasons that I will tell you in private"

"How about now?" I suggest "and while your at it apologize to Amber like you mean it for going on a little venting spree this morning"

"I'll tell you in private" she says "but...your right" looking at Amber "I'm sorry Amber, I shouldn't have thrown water on you earlier today"

"Woah!" Alfie exclaims "falls off of his chair in amazement" we laugh after Alfie falls out of his chair"

"Did Patricia" Jerome asks 'I am never wrong' Williamson just agree to apologize?"

"Shut up slimeball" she bites back, looking at me "I'll tell you in private, okay?"

Once everyone has gone to bed, we head down through the passageway and end up in the cellar. Once we are here, we look around to see this is some sort of laboratory. "Or" I say "this is one big cellar with no secret room"

'Ah!" Amber screeches at a sheet covering a mannequin "A ghost"

"More like a sheet" I tell her "or a cloak" Fabian who is behind us snickers

"Can we find a light switch?" Amber begs "nothing bad ever happens to those in the light"

"Not true" I tell her "it's just not as likely"

"Hey guys" we look over to Fabian as he is before a bunch of dead animals "check this out" he turns on the light and Amber sighs relieved.

"This place" Amber tells us "is weirding me out, can we go?"

"Not until we find the next piece" I say, Fabian told us before we came down here that Keht means inferno aka hell. Going down to hell "let's be careful okay? We don't know how often Victor comes down here if at all and we can't let him know anyone has been down here" I'm just grateful he doesn't know that any of us have been in the attic, we don't want him knowing about the basement here.

"This stuff" Amber complains as we see a dead raccoon "smells old and gross"

"Guys!" Fabian exclaims "look on the wall" we go over and see how there is a fire painted on the wall with a collar, a golden collar "Flames"

"There in the flames" I recite the clue that we found "you must look behind"

"What's that?" Amber asks motioning to the collar "is that a ring? If it is they might as well say pull me"

"That's not a ring pull, Ambs" Fabian shakes his head "that's a tethering ring"

"A tethering what?" she asks

"A tethering ring" I explain "is what you use to tie animals to" Fabian pulls the ring off and I take it as he tried to look for another clue, but I find one inside of the ring "hey guys, there's numbers on this"

"Really?" they look and we see the numbers

"Sibuna!" Amber exclaims

"Sibuna" Fabian and i follow suit before leaving when the main door to the cellar opens and we quickly run back to a large cupboard to hide in. We watch as Victor drinks some amber colored liquid, what is he drinking? After he drinks whatever that liquid is, he takes off.

"What did Victor just drink?" Amber asks

"Maybe it's the stuff that keeps him young?" I suggest as Fabian goes to drink it "no!" stopping him "we don't know what this stuff is or the price that Victor paid to have this stuff"

"Can we go" Amber begs "I want to go!"

"No need to get hysterical" Fabian tells her

"Can we go!" she repeats. We jump when we hear a loud wailing, it sounds like a cat. "Can we go now?"

"yes" nodding our heads, we quickly leave the cellar before going to our rooms.

Before we go to bed, or I do I am met by Zephyr who is before me covering my mouth with one of his hands "you must have so many questions now" I nod my head "I'll give them to you, but for a price"

Removing his hand "what's the price?"

"Like before" shaking his head "depending on the question, the payment might be big or small. So far you've asked for small answers"

"What will it take for a big question?" I ask

He smiles "I'm so glad you've finally asked" he is silent before saying "for a big question, I want a taste of this" his hand is between my legs as he cups my pussy "the more difficult the answer, the more of a taste I get. Okay? Such as your mouth around my cock sucking me off...sleep on it, tomorrow I'll be back and we can discuss when to meet and what questions you will have" he leaves through the window and I lie down thinking about what he's offering. I'm not going to tell Fabian and Amber, this is too big of something to tell them. Plus what if Zephyr has an answer that we really need?

When it's morning, I see Amber is still asleep so I get ready for school. When we only have half an hour left I go over to Amber "Amber" shaking her shoulder "wake up"

Gasping awake, she takes off her mask "What time is it?'

"less than thirty minutes till school"

She sighs before getting up "Truth time, do you believe in werewolves Lera?"

"I do" nodding my head "the fact that vampires are real and I've been talking to one suggests anything...there is no doubt in my mind. Why?"

"I think" she says "that is what was making the wailing last night"

"but it wasn't a full moon" shaking my head "werewolves are slaves to the moon, Amber. Unless they have a moonlight ring they are bound to shift into a wolf like beast once a month which is a full moon"

"How do you know so much about this?" she asks

"I've been doing my research" I tell her "also last night I think it was a" the door opens as we hear the meows of a cat "I think we found out what was making the wailing noises from last night"

"A kitty!" she exclaims picking up the black cat "Oh! We need to keep it! Victor won't let us keep a cat" because he's a bird person.

"Did you know" I ask her "that cat's are the guardians to the underworld in Egyptian Mythology?"

"Really?" I nod my head "Oh! Hello Mr. Whiskers, we are cat napping you"
