Tyler paced the shining hardwood floor of the Library impatiently.The girls had dragged Katherine to Hampshire, a town nearly an hour outside of Bramshott apparently it was the only decent place to get clothes in the surrounding area, because heaven knew that Bramshott didn't carry anything but the preppie stuff everyone seemed to be wearing there and they'd been up in Sofia's room primping' Katherine ever since.Tyler had to admit to himself that he was nervous. Things had been progressing between him and Katherine, though he highly doubted that she actually knew it. Her mind didn't work the same way that other girls' did. She didn't think in terms of dating and clothes and boys. She thought in terms of right and wrong, good and bad, honorable and dishonorable, hardworking and lazy, humble and prideful... The list went on and on in that fashion. She was the most moral person that he'd ever met without ever touching on religion. She believed in God, but she didn't hol

He didn't have much of a chance to think about it because they were at the front door before he knew it, Katherine leaning down and lifting a small welcome mat, and picking up a key.Could these people be any less creative? he thought in disgust. At least hide it under a potted plant or something...It surprised him how much venom he had in his heart for Scott. Yet it wasn't surprising at all if one really thought about it. They had mistreated her. And he was falling for her. Fast.So he hated them. So what as long as they didn't hate him?Katherine unlocked the door and stepped inside, motioning Tyler to do the same. Once he was inside, she quietly shut and relocked the door."Mom! Dad! I'm home!" Katherine shouted.Tyler shivered as he thought of Katherine calling a place like this home. It had to be the most frigid place he had ever been in. Everything was pale and plain it seemed. Colorless, lifeless -a little dead even.Even the

Katherine felt as though she were in a daze as she got her coat, walked to the car, and Tyler drove for an hour to the shoreside restaurant.As Tyler drove up to the front door and a valet opened Katherine's door for her, she realized where they were: La Vienne Rose, only the most expensive and selective restaurant on the east coast.The mayor of the City was lucky if he could get a table here, and yet here they were people of obscure origins about to eat here.Another valet opened the glass door for them, and as they walked in Katherine noticed that there was a surprisingly small amount of tables more than likely because the prices were so high they could afford to have fewer tables making the atmosphere more intimate.Katherine was now very grateful to Sofia and the other girls for forcing her to wear something she normally wouldn't have been caught dead in.While Katherine took in her surroundings, she vaguely noticed Tyler pull aside their wait

"Well, did you two have a good time? Mrs. Scott asked with nasty meaning as Tyler and Katherine walked up to the front of her and Mr. Scott.Tyler picked up Katherine's hand with the hand that wasn't around her waist and lifted it, his lips hovering over it closely.The other Parents leaned forward anxiously, looking like they didn't know what Tyler was going to do: kiss their daughter's hand or eat it."We had." Tyler kissed Katherine's hand seductively, making Katherine blush from the tips of her toes to the roots of her hair and her parents gasp for air. "...a very good time." He threw the best Transylvanian Dracula accent into the last words, forcing Katherine to cover her mouth with her other hand to keep from bursting into laughter.Katherine's other Parents looked as though they might faint."Good night, Mr. and Mrs. Scott," Tyler nodded his head in the direction of the Scott’s, his eyes turning crimson in an unspoken warning. He turne

Katherine looked at the clock and sighed. 4:38 She walked over to her new wicker-white wardrobe and opened the doors to pick out clothes for the day. Not like I'm going to get any sleep anyway. I might as well do something, Katherine thought, intending to make breakfast for her Other Parents. That should make them pretty happy... After Katherine had finished her morning routine she walked down the creaky stairs. As she got closer to the end of them, Katherine's sensitive hearing began picking up noises in the kitchen. Oh my... It's them. The vampires have come for me over McDuffie. Oh, why did Tyler have to kill him? Why? Katherine quietly crept down the stairs and walked over to the coat rack. Taking a large umbrella from it, she tiptoed to the kitchen, hardly daring to breathe for fear the vampires would hear her. "Marge, where does she keep the ketchup? I can't find anything here. Katherine sighed with relief at the sound of her Oth
