I ran across the forests’ edge and looked across the highway. Retracing my scratch marks on trees that will led me home. Once I spotted the silver Dodge Avenger driving through traffic to reach its destination, I smiled to myself and whipped by the forest at my fastest speed.

By the time I reached the small black shed in the courtyard it had only been an hour since I left. I walked into it and opened the trap door to the far right corner. I walked down the stairs, shutting the door while I did. Once I reached the bottom, I walked through a black door and into a long hallway.

I walked down the dark hallway that was only lit by the yellow-white candles on their sconces, the small flames flickering at the rushing air from my moving body. The yellow, red and orange flames lit up only enough light to see ahead and to see the hanging portraits of the previous Masters of this organization, the HVTC.

I stopped at the large dark brown door with a large golden plaque engraved with Mr. Black. I knocked on the door and it opened. I walked through and looked over at the mahogany desk on the east wall in the room that was only lit by a small lamp on the actual desk.

“Master?” I called quietly when I couldn’t find Mr. Black anywhere.

“Yes.” a deep voice whispered from his bed against the north wall.

The beige silk blankets moved and I heard a quiet girly giggle come from that area. Mr. Black got up and walked over to me in only red silk boxers. His muscles were accented from the little light. His messy blond hair looked almost light brown and his hazel eyes glared at me in annoyance.

“What do you want?” he asked while crossing his arms across his bare chest.

“Master, she is coming. She is only an hour away from here. May I go to the Seer to know more information?” I asked, bowing half of my body in respect.

“You don’t need to go far. She’s with me.”

“I see. May I speak with her?”

“Quickly.”

“As you wish, Master.”

“Elena. Come, and take one of my dress shirts before you arrive into the light.”

“Yes, master.” a high, girly voice spoke, slightly giggling.

A bouncy girl with curly, blond locks that reached her hips, bouncing as she hopped over to the side of my Master. I rose and looked her straight in her eyes.

“What do you want to know?” she asked in her annoying voice that makes me want to grind my teeth.

“All I know is that Mr. Thomason is a part of this, including his family. Please explain how.”

“Well. The whole vision I had was that this girl will be moving here. Mr. Thomason’s brother shall fall for the girl the instant he meets her. He shall be angry with himself, but they will eventually become a thing. He wants to turn her into one of us. We must stop it before it’s too late.”

“I see. Shall I go and inform Mr. Thomason of this news before he leaves?”

“Yes. He is packing his things as we speak.” said my Master.

“I shall then. Farewell Master and Seer.” I responded.

“Then leave here before I must throw you out. Also, take the rest of the night off once you’re done speaking with him.” said my Master as he walked back to his bed with Elena.

“Yes Master.” I said and walked out of his office immediately, shutting the door lightly.

I walked down the hall once again, feeling the waves of exhaustion consume my mind and body. I forced myself to think of my last task and made myself knock on the last door of the long and dark hallway.

“Yes?” I heard a muffled voice through the door.

“Mr. Thomason, I am here to finish informing you about your problem at hand.” I said loudly through the door.

“Come in.” he said and I opened the door.

I walked in to see his moonlit room. Mr. Thomason was spread out on his bed, only in a pair of baggy sweats. I sighed and leaned against the archway of the door.

“Mr. Thomason. You must know that your brother shall fall in love with this girl who is moving here. He wants to turn her into one of us and I have spotted her family car on the highway, only an hour away from here.” I explained tiredly.

“I see. Thank you.” he responded absent minded.

“Do you have a plan?”

“Yes.”

“May I hear it?”

“No. I must keep this a secret, even from our Master and the Seer. Therefore, you mustn't tell her that I have a plan. I also must make sure I don’t cross their paths. Would you mind assisting me with that tomorrow?”

“Not at all.”

“Thank you Lloyd.”

“My pleasure Mr. Thomason.”

“And please. Call me by my first name.”

“As you wish.”

“Now, return to your room. You’re making me exhausted just hearing your groggy voice.”

“Thank you.”

I heard him groan and I walked across the hall to the door across from Mr. Thomason’s room. I walked in and lay down on my black covered bed. I didn’t bother shutting my black blinds or changing from my black dress pants or white dress shirt. I crawled under my blankets and shut my eyes, arriving into complete unconsciousness.
