Sorry for the huge delay =(. I've been really busy this summer and I also sort of lost interest. Part of the reason is because I feel like no one is reading this story. Without any feedback I feel like I'm just writing for myself, and also I just really want to know how my writing is. So if you guys could please just take the time and either rate or comment, that would make my day =)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two months had passed since Sade Bailey's death.
In those two months, winter had fully gripped Indigo Bay.

The winds blew snow down the empty streets.
A pinkish glow took over, reflecting on buildings...
almost making the city look like a wonderland.
An empty wonderland.

People no longer walked these streets.
Instead they hid in their various apartments, waiting for spring to arrive.
Or waiting for a war to start....

Carolina: C'mon Jasper! You can do it!


Carolina: Just keep trying! You're getting better already!

Jasper: Don't...lie.....*gasp* I suck! I can't even *gasp* get this thing to move a millimeter!

Carolina: Don't get down on yourself! In the past two months, you've lost ten pounds. That's an accomplishment! So what if you can't do a high kick. The point of all this is to exercise and to get in shape for when we encounter Joseph.
Jasper: Which will never happen for me. Face it, Lina. You will be the one fighting, I'll be the one leaning against a tree gasping for air.

Carolina: I don't want to hear it, Teo! C'mon, sparing time!
Jasper: I suck! You'll win, just like all the other times!
Carolina: Just punch me, you wimp!

Jasper: Ahh!!
Carolina: Too slow!

Carolina: Dude! I know you can kick higher than that!

Carolina: Now you're just being lazy!!
Jasper: Damn It! I'm not doing this shit anymore!

Carolina: I'm sorry, but I was just trying to motivate you.
Jasper: You don't think I have motivation?! My girlfriend was killed because of these vampires. I think about her every time we are in here, but I really don't think I'm strong enough. I think I just want to stay away for a while. It's for the best.

Carolina: I miss her too, but you can't just hide away from the world. She wouldn't want you to. You know what she would say if she were here? "Kick their pale asses!"
Jasper: *laugh* Yeah she would. I'm sorry for being like this. I will try harder, I promise.
Carolina: That's all I'm asking, dude. I'm not expecting you to become the terminator or anything. Just a guy that could kick some vampires in the head.





Rika:That movie was hilarious!
Sarah: James Franco is really the best!

Sarah: I've gotta say, Rika. This was the perfect end to a perfect week. In fact, these past two months have been pretty amazing.
Rika: For me too. You are pretty fun. I really like hanging out with you, Sarah.
Sarah: Well that's what I need in my life right now. You've been keeping me happy, just like Sade used to.

Rika: Ah well let me help you out even more by taking you away from these cold streets into my nice warm apartment for some hot chocolate.
Sarah: I like the sound of that! Just tell me it's nothing like the hot chocolate in the movie we just saw! haha!

Sarah: Crap! I forgot my phone inside! I'll be right back.

WHOOOOSHHHH


Jane: What the hell are you doing?! If anyone sees you with her, they will start to suspect something.

Rika: I told you that I have to stay close to her in order to attack when the time comes.
Jane: Don't give me that bullshit! You don't think I know you by now? You're falling for this girl, it's painfully obvious!
Rika: You are being ridiculous. I have been slowly gaining her trust for about six months now. In those months, you were off faking death. Don't just come here and tell me what to do. Remember that I'm about a hundred years stronger than you.

Jane: I'm just looking out for you! If Joseph finds out that you've fallen for a human again, he will kill you. He made that clear last time.
Rika: Yeah well last time, I was making a stupid mistake. I swore to him that I would always stay by his side.

Rika: I swear to you, Jane. There is nothing going on between us. I have to go now.

Jane: Don't cry when he kills her!

At a motel half an hour outside of Indigo Bay, a young woman was taking some time away from her friends to re-discover her relationship with an old fling.


JJ: Ah man, these past few weeks have been a trip. I'm so glad you came back.
Mia: I still feel awful about Naomi, but I'm also glad I'm here with you right now. Even if we are hiding from everyone.
JJ: Hey, what did I say? We don't talk about Naomi anymore. We were on the verge of breaking up long before you came along. It's life.
Mia: I'm sorry. It won't come up again.

JJ: So what do you want to do today? Maybe we can make some plans with your friends? I really haven't gotten a chance to know them since the Darcy incident. Maybe we can turn over a new leaf.
Mia: I don't know if that's such a good idea. I've been really distant from them lately. It's like they are all in some sort of clique and I'm just the outsider. Besides, Naomi is hanging out with Sarah a lot lately.
JJ: Fair enough. What do you say we go to Seattle tonight? Classic romantic dinner on me.
Mia: Of course!

JJ: I'm gunna hop in the shower.






Fiona: I'm so glad we got so much snow! It's been so nice playing house with you and forgetting about all the horrible things that have happened.

Chaz: Yeah well I figured you needed a distraction. I guess a snowstorm did the trick.

Jasper: Damn, are you sure you want to interrupt that? You know Fiona is just getting back to normal. Chaz told us to keep her out of it from day one.
Carolina: I'm sorry, but she has to get involved sooner or later. It's been a nice vacation for all of us, but we can't just forget about thousand year old witches and vampires trying to kill us.

Chaz: -whisper- What the hell are you guys doing here? We are supposed to meet in three hours.
Carolina: We need to tell her what we've been doing.
Chaz: No way!

Fiona: Which is what exactly?

Chaz: Absolutely nothing! They were just a little early for their art lessons. You know everyone is trying to move on and all.

Fiona: I know when people are lying. I'll just find out for myself.
Chaz: Fiona....don't do it.


Jasper: Uh?

Carolina: What the hell is going on?
Chaz: A new trick. Even though we took a break from vampires, we are still working on her powers. She is getting stronger......and more enthusiastic each day.

Jasper: Did you just probe my mind?

Fiona: Jerk!

Chaz: I'm sorry! You told me you didn't even want to talk about vampires!

Fiona: That doesn't mean you can go behind my back and teach my friends how to kill vampires!
Chaz: All I did was give them equipment and some books! It's not like I was out hunting vampires with them!
Fiona: I don't care! I told you that I'm going to surrender myself when that bastard shows his face! I don't want my friends involved. It's the reason why I've been trying to do so much these past few months. Who knows how much time I have left.

Jasper: Hey don't talk like that. We are going to help....
Fiona: Ok Jasper, you tell me how you're going to kill this almighty Joseph who hasn't even shown himself yet. Besides, even if you stop them from taking any of us as sacrifices; they will still take me. It's not like this city is overflowing with faeries.
Carolina: Well we aren't giving up that easy. I'm sure Sade would hate to see you giving up.
Chaz: We could at least try, Fiona.
Fiona: Fine, but if we are going to do this, then we need an actual vampire.
Jasper: Shane.



Rika: What am I doing?

Jane: I know you are falling for this girl, but you can't let yourself. In a month, Joseph will be ready. If he finds out about her, then he will kill you both. Remember what happened in 1975? Unless you want this girl to be chopped into pieces while you watch, then I suggest you keep your distance.
Rika: Jesus, Jane. I already lived through that the first time. I don't need you bringing it up again.
Jane: I'm sorry, but I have to be brutal here. We were sent here to keep an eye on these people. Joseph...

Rika: Stop saying his name! You know damn well the only reason he is keeping us around is so that we can help him get what he wants. After the ritual he will destroy us. He will be the most powerful being on earth. I betrayed him once already and you almost did. He will only want the most loyal vampires around. There will be no room for traitors.
Jane: OK, fine. Then more reason not to pursue this girl. Either way it will end in tragedy.

Rika: I will figure something out. I can go into hiding with her...

Jane: Oh yeah! That would totally work. Even after her faerie friend dies. I'm sure she will forgive you for that.

Jane: Like you said, anyone who gets in Joseph's way will die. I already learned my lesson with Marcus. Keep your distance, before it's too late.




Elsewhere....
Mia was going through another one of her hallucinations.
This time though,

..something was different.

Mia: Who's ...there? I'm not going through this shit anymore! Stay out of my head!!!!
Suddenly the room erupted into a fiery glow.
A heavy pulse seemed to bounce off the walls.

Mia: AHHHH!!!!
Suddenly a woman appeared.


Desdemona: I call forth the seven spirits! Allow me to pull the succubus from within this girl! The time has come for the demon king to rise!

JJ: What the fuck is going on?!

Mia: James!!!!
