safe." Jenn ran from Xavier to Zena and embraced her in a shaky hug.
Xavier began to turn, "Fine. I'll meet you at the house." and he sped off into the distance.
"Come on Jenn let’s get you out of here." Zena grabbed her hand and ran them both back to her car. When Jenn blinked Zena was in the driver's seat. "Get in! What are you waiting for?"
"I can't hide from him. He has a tracking device, type, thing, when he uses it shocks me and I can barely breathe. He is probably watching us anyway." Jenn said, tears gathering in her eyes. "I know that Jenn I can feel him. I'm a vampire and we are related so it makes it easier." Zena turned to the direction that Xavier had gone and flipped the bird at him with a smug smile on her face.
"Okay, he's gone. I'm going to take you to his mansion, temporarily. Besides we have to put your new clothes in your closet!" Back on the subject of clothes, Zena started bouncing around again. Jenn got into the car and they headed back to Xavier's.
Chapter 10


Xavier was in his study once again pacing so fast he was barely visible.
Gregor had never seen him so distressed. "Okay, what is?" Gregor asked as he walked down the slightly rusted spiral staircase with a full wineglass in hand.
"Believe me. You don't want to know." Xavier said, still in his frenzied pace.
"I can take it. What happened?"
Xavier stopped pacing, his back to Gregor, and said, "Zena knows."
Only two words and Gregor began to yell. "WHAT!?!?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'SHE KNOWS'? WE HAD A PLAN HERE!!!"
"We can still make this work. She might not tell the High Council if she is worried about Jennifer's safety." Xavier said pacing slower now.
"YEA! MABEY!!! I really don't want to risk it. I'm out! I can't do this anymore!" Gregor threw his arms into the air, as an act of desperation.
"If you back out I will have to kill you." Xavier said still pacing. "Never mind." The one thing that Gregor was really scared of was death.
Even underground Xavier could hear his sister's car pull into the driveway. "Jennifer has returned. Hmm, I thought Zena would make them bolt. Hmm..."
Xavier ascended the metal spiral staircase up to the secret trap door in his "bedroom". Only he and Gregor knew of this door. The room was almost exactly the same as Jennifer's except, instead of lilac; it was a stunning shade of blood red. The trap door was in the chimney. All you had to do was tap the right brick and it opened the secret panel. His "bedroom" door was actually to the right of Jennifer's door. She would have found it if she began to snoop around.
Both of their bedrooms were the only rooms on the top floor. There was an amazing balcony with two sets of stairs that led to the front door. There were also two doors and an entry-way between both doors beneath the balcony. The entry-way led to the large magnificent ballroom where he and Jennifer had been practicing. The door to the right led to an antique sitting room (It couldn't be called a living room, now could it.) which led to the patio out back and a huge backyard. The door to the left led to the kitchen and the bunks for his "assistants".
Xavier stood on the balcony, calm, leaning against the metal, flowered rail, as Jennifer and Zena walked in the door.
"I was pretty sure that you two were going to run out on me." Xavier said to them as they walked in.
All Jenn wanted to do was run into her room and tell Zena everything that happened. But she couldn't, he was in the way. They hadn't carried their bags in. Zena insisted that they leave them in the car, and that she would get them later.
Zena rushed her upstairs to her room and past Xavier before she could blink. Zena set her on her bed and told her that she would be back soon.
Jenn sat on her bed for fifteen minutes before Zena got back.
Zena set their bags by the door to the closet, walked over to where Jenn was sitting on the bed and sat next to her. "Xavier is having a ball tomorrow night. That's why you're here."
"Why would he need me for a ball?" Jenn asked, very close to dosing off.
"I'm not sure yet, but I'm sure as Hell going to find out. Now get some rest. If something bad is gonna to happen you're gonna need all of your strength." Zena said as she began to stand up.
"But where are you going to sleep?" Jenn whispered, eyelids drooping.
"It’s okay. I'll sleep in one of Xavier's guest coffins." Zena said with a smile, obviously joking. "He does have one you know." She whispered as she closed the door behind her, laughing quietly.
Jenn barely lasted a second when sleep overcame her, Zena's laugh echoing in her ears.

Chapter 11


Jenn was awakened as soon as the sun set by Red. She had brought her some pancakes, eggs, and bacon for breakfast. Jenn only had enough room in her stomach to finish half of all of it.


Red came back in after 10 minutes holding the most gorgeous dress Jenn had ever seen. It was gold-colored silk, a V-neck that had gold sparkled fabric accenting the sides and a tied belt of the same material around the waist, with a slit on the right side that was all the way up to her thigh. Red helped her into it once she had taken the tray of half-eaten food. The dress fit her perfectly like everything else in her closet, when she walked the dress it looked like it was made of liquid gold. For shoes she wore golden gladiator heels. She was also wearing a long gold pendant on a necklace. Red helped her pin her hair into a messy bun with her bangs curled and hanging down.
"Xavier requests your presence downstairs in the foyer." Red informed Jenn as she began to exit the room.
"For some unknown reason, I expected that." Jenn layered with sarcasm.
Once through her doorway, she almost glided through the hallway to the staircase. She glanced down to see if he was there, which he wasn't, yet.
Jenn wished that he would hurry up. She just wanted to get the night over with. All of her emotions were at a boiling point. She was mad at Xavier for hurting her, both physically and mentally, which is why she was so confused. After all the weeks she had begun to believe that she might just have feelings for him!
The entire concept was just wrong! He was her kidnapper for goodness sake!
By the time she finished running through the reasons that it was wrong she had reached the bottom of the stairs, and Xavier was there dressed in a fancy black tux. Now she really hoped that he couldn't read her thoughts because she would be very embarrassed. She walked calmly up to him though, wiping away all of those thoughts, her face now comprised of stone.
"What's the matter? You seem upset." Xavier asked, actually sounding like he cared.
"No. I wonder why?" Still excessively using sarcasm until he decided to apologize and let her go to the mall with Zena again. Which probably wasn't going to happen.
"After this is over, if you're good, I might let you go out with Zena, but I'm going to be watching you from a distance." Xavier said through his teeth as if he were being forced.
"Okay. Firstly, stop treating me like a child..."
"Uh... Jennifer..." Xavier interrupted.
"Shut up! And secondly, no I will not go out again if I have to be supervised!"
"Are ya done? Because we have to get going."
Jenn cooled off and replied, "Yes. I'm done now."
Jenn expected to be walking out to his car, but, she turned her towards the ballroom that she had just been screaming a few feet from a second ago. Xavier opened the doors... and there were tons of people in there. Of course they had just heard Jenn yelling at Xavier and they were staring at her.
But then they all started clapping.
Jenn had no idea why, but then they started telling her why, probably because of the confused look on her face. "Wow! We haven't seen anyone stand up to him like that since that one in '76!" and "That a girl!" and various stuff like that.
Then Zena whistled from where she was standing on the other side of the room, "Okay! Some of you have already forgotten why we are all here! We are here to congratulate this dork of a brother for finding a girlfriend..." Xavier gently nudged Jenn in the ribs and whispered, "Just play along. And no hitting." "... after all of these very long decades." "Okay Zena enough exaggerating, let’s get to dancing!" Gregor yelled from up front.
Then music began pouring out of every crevice in the walls, and everyone began to dance to the music.
After a while when Jenn and Xavier were dancing in a corner by themselves to an ancient slow song, Jenn leaned in and asked, "Is everyone here a vampire?" "Well." Xavier said, deep in thought. "Not everyone. I think there are a few pixies around here somewhere, and in the corner opposite us are a few werewolves. Clearly out of their element." He chuckled.
Once the DJ decided to play a modern song, Jenn was kidnapped once again by Zena. But instead of taking her out onto the dance floor she pulled her out into the hallway and began whispering urgently. "Jenn you aren’t human. You're a vampire. No questions." Jenn had just begun to ask. "He changed you when he brought you here. He brought you here in the first place so he could take over the vampire kingdom from our brother, Y. No. His name is actually the letter y. I was sent here to spy on him by Y. He told me to kill him and anyone involved. So you need to get out of here..." "But we need to
