Hector explores the library where he finds many books about witches, werewolves and sirens. He is curious and grabs a few books to read. He tracks Mrs.Blake down in her office. “Are we allowed to check out books?” asks Hector. She smiles and sees a stack of books in his hands. “I know you’re in training, so as long as you do what you’re supposed to, I don’t see the harm and will let you check them out.” “Thanks, I just want something to help pass the time.” “I know the feeling. You look so familiar. What's the last name?” “Hector Ale.” “Do you know much about your family?” she asks with a curious look. “Not much to tell. Father is dead, Mother is a barmaid in Sung and I don’t have any other family. Why do you ask?” “Well, you just seem like someone I used to know. Maybe I am mistaken . Your books, do take care of them. Hector, be careful. This is a dangerous world.” He leaves with his books thinking, she was acting very weird. He heads back to his and Ruby’s room. He sits

At dawn, Hector is woken up by a loud bang on the cell door. “Wake up, Hector. We have work to do,” shouts Rex . Hector’s back is on fire, and he hurts all over. His mouth is dry, and he feels like crap. He pulls himself up to a sitting position and rubs his eyes. “Ok, I am up. Do I have time for a shower?” asks Hector. “Yes, that's why I am getting you up now. Your teammates should be getting up soon. If you want that shower, you better hurry.” Hector walks out of the cell and heads upstairs to his room. When he gets to his room, he sees Ruby getting dressed. “Well, he returns. You look like shit. What happened to you and where were you?” asks Ruby. “I don’t have time to talk about it. I need a shower before training,” growls Hector. “ Someone is in a bad mood. Whatever, suit yourself. Shower is free.” Hector doesn’t waste time. He quickly goes into the bathroom and begins to strip off his pants and underwear. He never put his shirt back on last night. He turns on the wate

Hector is in his room resting after being burned by the sun and the whipping, but he knows he made the right choice. Even if Rex isn’t happy with him and possibly Lord Skorn too. He hopes that this is the only punishment he will get for his disobedience, but he feels that might not be the case. Rex normally doesn’t send him to his room without completing a task or running out of time. Hector is in deep thought when Rex comes into his room. “Hector, you disobeyed a direct order, and we can’t have you doing that. You were burned by the sun, but Lord Skorn doesn’t think that is enough. So, you will bear a punishment that he has chosen until you’re willing to do the original order without question. Do you understand?” asks Rex . Hector gets off his bed and stands up with some pain. He knows he can’t fight them. “I understand you’re going to punish me for not killing the innocent rabbit. I will be punished until I do,” says Hector. “Good, the punishment is the sunroom until you agree t

When Hector and Rex arrive at the bar, they see Jesse and Mike waiting by the entrance. Hector takes a deep breath. He can already smell the humans nearby and he is very hungry. He turns to the groups before they walk in. “What if I can’t control it?” asks Hector. “We’ll make sure you don’t kill any humans,” Says Jesse. “If you get that look or go to attack, we’ll stop you,” Says Mike. “They have helped me with many newbies, don’t worry. We won’t let you kill any humans we don’t want you to kill,” Says Rex. Then all three of them laugh at Rex’s statement. Hector doesn’t like the way Rex implied that one day he will kill humans. They walk into the bar. The bar keeps seeing the vampire’s, and grabs some mugs and pours a red drink into them. The four of them sit at the bar. “Welcome. the house special is on the house,” says the man. He seems nervous and gently sets the mugs down, one in front of each of them. Hector picks up the mug and smells blood instantly. “I guess the town

Henry is hitting the dummies with the sword one late afternoon. When he catches sight of Kelanar heading to the garden, he drops his sword and follows her. “Kelanar!” yells Henry. Kelanar sees him and tries to go another way, but she walks into a dead end of the garden. “What is going on? You were avoiding me for weeks. I know Master John said to stay away from us, but it is not healthy to be alone. You look miserable,” says Henry. Kelanar keeps her face turned away from him and looks at the ground. I have to get out of here before he sees us, thinks Kelanar. Henry grabs her left arm and turns her toward him. Henry spies red and puffy eyes, and her face has lost its shine. Her smile is nonexistent. “Oh, Kelanar I told you. I will be here for you. You don’t have to be alone. I never see you at any of the meals or on the weekends. Anytime I see you in the hall, you run away or go where I can’t go.” Kelanar is quiet as a tear rolls down her cheek. “I won’t be the reason you get
