Right, so I'm going over my chapters, fixing them here and there. Also, I'm too lazy to find the song for the first chapter so it's song-less. Although, I think it's better without the song. For the most part, I prefer it without the song. I mainly put them in here because they are the songs i was listening to at the moment and it felt like they fit the mood of the song. Honestly, never really meant to put songs in here for any hidden meaning ^^" Not my kind of thing. So enjoy the re-edited chapter without song~

Welcome FAYZ, I've been waiting

I couldn't believe they were gone! My older sister, who was a whore, my mother who encouraged my whore sister and my father, who was well…he never deserved the title of a father; they were all gone. Gone, poof, just like that.

Of course, I had to check every inch of the house to make sure but they were definitely gone.

Without another single thought, I plopped right on down on the very expensive antique white couch my mother always yelled at me not to ever put my feet up on; well, she's not around anymore. I put my feet up with a smirk. This was the life; this was my life for once.

However, I wasn't very happy for too long when I realized that this meant chaos would soon ensue. Without grown-ups, kids will be lost, in denial and frightened to death. In the terrifying times, they will need someone to look up to and after the fire incident, I knew it was going to be Sam.

Unfortunately, I did not think the boy would last five minutes under all that pressure. He was the type that did something good but then disappeared in the shadows only to show up to do something heroic and running a town was not a heroic type job. Sam was muscles not brains; he was definitely going to end up snapping in two sooner or later. I was hoping for later since the town really needed a leader even if he was not my first choice.

Yet, it was time for me to eat something real quick and head back to the plaza to seek out what the plan was from here on out.

Well, I would go in a few days, for now I get to stay home, watch some DVDs and relax. Saw II, here I come.

Caine freaked me out. I did not like the car routine or the 'I'm taking over' part. There was something seriously wrong about him in that brief meeting, there was something wrong with all of them but no one bothered listening to me before, don't know why they would start now; so, I kept my mouth shut. Better that way.

Yet, I knew I would feel guilty later if something bad happened and I could have prevented it. But it would be nice to watch the others suffer for once. I had dealt with too much pain that there was no way I was going to pass up an opportunity to watch everyone else writhe under Caine's dictator reign. Perhaps, he will take me into his posse.

After the meeting, the girl with long dark hair approached me; I smiled at her coolly. Smoothly, I said, "Hello Diana, I'm going to cut to the chase. I am Jessica Vasquez and I would very much like to join you, Caine and Drake."

Diana gave me a smirk catching the determined glint in my eye. She shook my hand and her smirk grew. "Good to meet you Jessica, please follow me. I am sure Caine will be even happier to meet you."

I followed her back into the church a bit nervous now though. I racked my hand through my thick dark curls and the straightened my black and red shirt before stopping right behind Diana.

She introduced before whispering something to Caine, something about six bars. With a small frown, I let out a sigh not understanding what they were talking about but shook it off once I felt those dark eyes train on me.

I looked up and stared right back. There was no way I would fall for his charming smiles; I wasn't stupid. I was used to the guys my sister dated, I knew how their minds worked; Caine didn't have any tricks I didn't already know.

Strongly, I asked, "Well?"

"You are in." Caine smirked right at me. He stood up and stuck out his hand to me, I shook it with a confused look. He caught it and asked, "What's wrong Jess?"

A nickname, something I disliked and clearly stated it without a single ounce of fear. "Name is Jessica, not Jess. What is wrong? Well, you hardly know me yet you are letting me in without asking a single thing about me. For all you know, I could be a spy for Sam."

"I doubt that, he is not all that smart," Caine said which caused a ghost of a smile to flit across my lips. "Moreover, you have a quality that I know I can trust. You are one of us, although I am curious on why you would want to join us."

"You have power therefore, the upper hand here," I shrug; my eyes flickered over to the other boy who had edged closer to Caine. I caught his gray eyes in mine and smirked, "I like people with power."

"Then you will really like us," Diana was at my side and grinned; seemed to me as if I was going to part of this team from now on; hopefully I would fit in for once.
