It was a foggy day, half an hour past noon.
Last night there was a vampire attack. Something that noone ever thought was possible. Especially the people who lived in this apartment.
One was about to leave for the day....
...to forget it all.


Fiona silently crept downstairs. Trying to avoid waking everyone up.

They all slept over the night before. Recovering from what had happened. Fiona made sure to tell them that Sade only passed out from drinking too much and that they needed to get her home. They mostly believed the story. However, Sarah remembers things differently..

Sarah: Fiona, wait.

Sarah: Are you going to tell everyone the truth, or should I? I know what happened last night.
Fiona: ....Yeah. Sade got drunk and I had Jasper carry her home. Then we all crashed here for the night.
Sarah: Just because I fainted, doesn't mean I forgot that a vampire fed on Sade and that you chased them away with some voodoo sparkly magic.

Fiona:I...I can't do this right now. I'm going to an art lesson. Please, Sarah. Don't tell them.
Sarah: What are you? A witch? Please, Fi. I'm one of your best friends, you can tell me.
Fiona: I'm a faerie...
Sarah: What, like Tinkerbell? Did you know those vampires? How did you chase them away??
Fiona: No! I swear I never knew vampires even existed. Last night, it's like my body went into autopilot. I guess when friends are threatened, my powers kick in. I don't exactly know how to control it. I've never used them.

Sarah: How long have you had these powers?
Fiona: Since I was thirteen, but like I said I've never used them. Please don't tell anyone. I was meant to keep this secret for the rest of my life. I never wanted this.....
Sarah: Fiona...you have powers to heal others. Do you know how amazing that is?

Fiona: I also have the power to kill people if my magic overpowers me. The only reason those vampires didn't die is because I got it under control at the last minute.

Jasper: Sorry to interrupt.
Fiona: It's OK. I was just leaving.

Jasper: I just wanted to thank you for letting me spend the night. Also for letting me sleep on that really comfortable couch. It was very nice of you.
Fiona: Jasper, it was really no big deal. You carried Sade home and made sure she was ok. You should go check on her. Also if you want to shower or get something to eat, you are more than welcome to.
Jasper: Thanks, I'll go check on her now.

Sarah: Fiona I know you are just trying to protect us. It's just that it would be really nice to have you around in case those vampires tried to kill us again. Maybe you can train or something.... I can help you!

Fiona: I'm not your personal weapon! Please just drop it!!!!!!!

Sarah: I'm sorry...




Jasper: Still knocked out, cold.

Jasper: Guess I'll just sit here and ......

Sade: Ergh....this is the worst hangover ever. What the hell......
Jasper: Good, you're alive. I was actually starting to worry.
As Sade glanced at Jasper all the memories from last night starting flowing back into her mind.

Sade: You carried me....

Jasper: Yeah, but uh don't worry about it. I'll get going. I know you think I'm a stalker or whatever.

Sade:No....wait.
Jasper: Sade, it's really fine. I just wanted to make sure you were OK from last night. I don't want to be your boyfriend or have sex with you.

Jasper: Sade!!

Sade: No guy has ever carried me home before, much less waited by my bedside to make sure I was OK. I think I was wrong about you. I'll make it up to you. Pick me up at eight tonight. We can go to a movie or something.

Jasper: Seriously? I carried you, because no one else could do it. I'm not the type of guy to just leave a wasted girl sleepig next to a dumpster. I seem to remember you thinking that I was a desperate stalker. No you wanna take me out the movies, because I brought you home? I'm going to check no in that box. I'm not really into "thank you" dates.

Jasper swiftly turned around and walked towards the staircase. Sade was left standing in shock. If only he knew that she was actually being genuine for once.


Downtown...
Fiona had arrived for her art lesson, which appeared to be held.....
...at a bar?



Fiona: This can't be right. Who lives in a bar?


Chaz: Sorry about this. My shop is getting renovated. I'm using some money from that art show I had a few months ago.
Fiona: It's no problem. It's been a while since we had a lesson together. I think the last time I saw you was at your art show. You had some beautiful pieces.

Chaz: So here's my apartment. I promise, if you want more lessons after today, they will be held at my shop. By the way, why the sudden interest in painting again? Last time you told me you were finding other interests.

Fiona: Yeah, I tried the whole fashion thing, but that didn't really work out. Noone would hire me, even though I have a degree from FIT. Lately, I've been really stressed out so I thought that painting would help me get out of my head for a bit.
Chaz: That's a good reason to get into painting. It's why I opened up my shop so many years ago.

Chaz: So...let's start.



As the day drew on.
The fog began to get thicker.
It was as if something bad was about to happen.

Two people were oblivious to this, of course.
They had spent the night before drinking and catching up.

Maybe they had drank a little bit too much...

Darcy: Erghh....Alex, wake up!
Alex: Ok, ok....

Darcy: Last night was fun. Those vampire stories you told me were really cool.
Alex: Are you just saying that because we hooked up?
Darcy: No way dude. I told you, I believe in vampires and ghosts too. It's just that everyone always thinks I'm stoned or whatever.
Alex:...Yeah well better than people thinking you are psychotic. Man, look at the time! We've been asleep for like twelve hours. It's almost seven!
Darcy: Cool. That means we can hang out all night. You wanna chill at this little place I know? I'll get a six pack.
Alex: I'll steal a bottle of Jack. It's not like I have anything better to do.




Chaz: Listen, it's only natural for you to be a little rusty. I have some books that might help you.

Fiona: Thanks, Chaz. You have no idea how soothing this all is. Last night was pretty hectic for me. It's nice to release all my stress into a painting.
Chaz: Damn!

Chaz: I dropped some books. I'm such a klutz.
Fiona: Happens to me all the time. Chuckles

Fiona: Here, let me help you.
As Fiona's hand brushed against Chaz's hand, something happened.
It was as if electricity flowed from their fingertips and created a small spark.

Whatever it was, it had definitely triggered something.

As her powers began to overwhelm her, she ran towards the door.
Fiona: Oh my god! I am so sorry, I have to go.





Chaz: Fiona! What's going on??
Fiona:Please, get out of here! I don't know what's happening!!

Fiona: Please just leave!

Chaz: You're a faerie, aren't you?
Fiona:Ho...how did you know?
Chaz: I've traveled the world, I know a lot about your kind. Probably more than you. We just had a connection, because our magic is compatible.

Fiona: What are you, a faerie? You don't know anything about me, please just leave!


Fiona: I'm losing control!
It was too late...
the magic had engulfed Fiona...
Once again, she let out an enormous shockwave.



Fiona: How are you still conscious?!
Chaz: You don't know much about me, either!!


Chaz: Wizards are stronger than novice faeries.


It was nearly 9:00pm.
The fog was taking over the city, giving the buildings and the streets a pinkish glow.
Carolina's block was desolate. She was finally going home after recovering at her friends apartment.
All she wanted to do was change and curl up in bed.


A breeze suddenly came up. Carolina stopped for a second.

Carolina: That was odd.


Before she knew it, teeth sank into her shoulder.
She screamed...









About an hour later...
Jasper was spending his Sunday night playing video games. Just as he had done EVERY Sunday night.

Jasper: Take that!
A knock at the door.

Jasper: Man, I ordered that pizza so long ago! Took them long enough.

Jasper: Sade! Um...you're at my apartment? I'm not even dressed......this is embarrassing. Listen, could you give me a minute?
Sade: I just came here to tell you something. Please, just hear me out.

Sade: I know you think that I asked you out, because I felt I owed you. I swear that's not true. Jasper...the truth is.....I really like you. I was in denial, because I never thought a guy like you could be into someone like me.
Jasper: Listen, I heard this all before. Which is why I'm playing video games and eating pizza on a Sunday night. You don't need to explain to me the physics as to why a skinny, beautiful, outgoing girl like you would not date a chubby, homely, awkward guy like me.
Sade: Would you let me finish? I'm saying that guys only get with me to have sex. Then they get bored and move on. I can't even count the number of times guys have left me passed out at a bar or at a party. Shows how worthless I am, I guess. I just wanted to tell you that I would change if you gave me a chance. I don't want to be the girl with no morals and commitment issues.
Jasper: Sade....c'mon. You know you don't believe that.
Sade: I do. I only said those horrible things to you, because I was scared. I was actually falling for a nice guy for once. I just didn't know what to do.

Jasper:....ok....maybe we should sit down and ....
Before Jasper could finish that sentence,
Sade pulled him closer...






Alex: So...you got any friends?
Darcy: Dude....who asks that?
Alex: Sorry, that came out wrong. I'm just asking if you hang out with other people. Just saying it would be cool to have a group of friends like I did in back high school.
Darcy: Nah....my friends ditched me after we graduated. They all went off to college. I guess I just stayed behind and did my own thing. There's nothing wrong with living in the moment, right? Friends go, people change. It's no big deal.

Alex: I guess not, My friends from my other high school ditched me after graduation too. My mom died a few weeks before and not one of them came to ask if I was ok. They were too busy picking out colleges or prom limos. I then became the "freaky kid who lost his mom."
Darcy: Well you have me now. We can be outcasts together.
They both laughed.
A scream interrupted them

Darcy: The hell??
Alex: It came from over there!



Marcus: Hah! You really think you could outrun me?! You're almost as dumb as the girl from last night!

Sarah: Please! Let us go!
Jane: Shutup! We have plans for your little circle of friends.

Darcy: Alex.....its some guy. He has your sister!

Marcus: Call Fiona.








Chaz patiently waited at the foot of the bed.
He felt extremely guilty for using his magic like that, but it was something that needed to be done.
Fiona was powerful. A powerful being who doesn't have control is a dangerous threat to anyone in their way.

Fiona: Huhh? Where am I?
Chaz: Good, you're awake.

Chaz: Sit.

Fiona: What did you do to me?
Chaz: Nothing serious. Just a sleeping spell. It's been a few hours. You were about to destroy everything on this block. I had to stop you.
Fiona: A spell? Does that mean that you're....a wizard?
Chaz: Yes. I am. I'm sorry for doing that to you. After we touched hands, I felt like I was awakened somehow. I haven't used my wand in years, minus some tricks here and there.
Fiona: How did you guess what I was?

Chaz: I've been studying the supernatural since I was old enough to travel. I've been to the supposed faerie grounds in France. You are very rare, Fiona. I've never come across a real faerie before. Are you the only one around here?

Fiona: My mother was, but her and my dad were murdered a few days after I transformed. Since then I haven't used any of my powers. I almost forgot what I was, up until last night, when I was attacked. Tell me. What do you know about vampires?
Fiona's phone began to buzz.

Fiona: Lina?? What's going.......No..... Ok I'm coming! I promise I'll get you and Sarah out of there!

Chaz: What's wrong?
Fiona: The vampires that attacked me last night. They have my friends.
Chaz: Fiona, my spell casting is rusty. I don't know how to deal with vampires.
Fiona: And my powers get out of control. We can make a good team. Let's go.
