I dont own any of the charaters, except Louise Mikale. the fabulous rachel caine does!

Louise (Lou) mikale wiped the windows, in a circular motion. it was almost impossible to get the dirt off the it. the night before was halloween the childeren of Angletown, had been out trick or treating. Louise hadnt been home to treat them so instead they desided to trick her by throwing water balloons filled with mud at her porch windows. So there she sat scrubbing at them.

Louise remembered that memory like it was yesterday. now she was unpacking her belongings in a motel room on the outskirts of Kansas. She had to stay hear for two days til her friend Eve Rosser could pick her up to take her to Morgonville. She was moving back to Morgonville to live with Eve. She checked her watch. 11pm. She was sleepy, she went to the bathroom with her pyjama's and toiletry bag. she removed her brush from the toiletry bag and began to brush her long, glossy brown hair. she straightened out her fringe and the brush on the counter. once she had her nightwear on, she brushed her teth and head straight to bed and dozed off rather quickly. she dreamt of her parents, they were sitting round the dining table furiously arguing. louise was crying. that was the last memory Louise had of her parents.

Her mother and father died in a "car accident" 6 and a half years after leaving morgonville. They had began to remember strange things about the scars they carried on their arms and neck. something about... vampires? surely not? (Bill Mikale began remember the night he was bitten by someone named brandon? they had no protection of course so with that they left morgonville. ) they died almost a year ago. Louise had decided there was nothing keeping her in Angletown, Illinois. when she recieved and email from someone named Eve Rosser who's name rang a bell, it all came back , Eve, TPU, TPMS, Michael Glass... For some reason VAMPIRES didnt come to her mind. she decided it was time to move, back to morgonville, Texas.

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! Louise woke up and turned of her alarm, stifling a yawn. 12pm. She sat up in the motel bed and jumped when her phone sounded, a text message from... EVE.

[MESSAGE REVCEIVED 12:01]

"Oh, c'mon!" louise mumbled to herself. she changed into her grey demin skirts, pink est top and grey three-quarter length cardigan. she slipped on her sneakers and packed her belongings back into her suitcase. She grabbed the alpen bar from the pocket of her backpack. "looks like breakfast" she fixed the bedspread and sat at the bottom of the bed and opened the cereal bar. three bites and she had finished it. She looked at her watch 12:45pm. Eve would be arriving soon. Louise grabbed her bags and left the motel room dragging her suitcase behind her. she made her way to the main reception to check out.

A woman around 50 stood behind the counter. she had dark circles below her eyes and was wearing a long brown skirt, a cream blouse and brown flats. "hello darlin' leaving us all so soon?" she asked a little puzzled look on her deeply wrinkled face. "yeah, 'fraid so. so how much is it?" Lou replied. "right darlin' tat ill be seeventen dollar ninteey seeven cent" She said, she had a strong southern accent louise noticed. it was sorta difficult to understand her sometimes. "ten, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen and eighteen" she left a $5 tip also. "well thanks darlin have a good-day now wont ya" Louise muttered a goodbye and went to sit outside on the worn out, wooden bench next to the carpark.

The sun dissapeared behind a huge black cloud. "Crap" louise muttered as the heavens opened. just then a black car drove up and stopped to put down the window. it was eve. "Lou? Hurry gettin" she said and popped open the trunk. Louise, as fast as humanly possible, threw her suitcase in the trunk slammed it shut and hopped in the passenger side of the car.

Eve pulled her into a hug " how've you been? im soooo sorry about your parents." "im good eve... and thanks for taking me to morgonville. so who's the guy you were talking about in your emails? your boyfriend, your beau?" "uh, well, its no one really" eve replied some what uncomfortable. "oh c'mon you can tell me! tell me, tell me!" "M-m-michael. michael glass." Louise's face faltered but she put on a pretend smile. "o-oh well thats nice, hes the one the was in our algebra class right?" eve nodded. Louise was prentending not to know who he was and eve knew it.

they spent the rest of the 2 hour car journey chatting, catching up. when the arrivied in morgonville it was 4pm. Eve parked out front of the glass house. Told louise to bring her stuff in. she continued in herself and shouted as she entered " anylife in here? Michael? Shane? Claire? Goddamit where are you guys?" to her self she whispered " i swear if they have went out and left the door un-"

"hi goth, new meat?" Shane asked sneaking up behind Eve, Giving her a fright. "nope, Collins it Louise, Louise mikale, Remember her?" "she left before, before Alyssa died" Tears filled shanes eyes at the thought of his little sister "yeah thats the one... you ok?" eve asked "Yeaah course... allergies" he replied "pain in th-" he stopped midsentance as a high pitch squeel of "shane!" erupted from the door. Louise dove at shane and jumped up on him. shane was taken aback "howar you?" shane replied "good and gotta go make dinner. chilli extra garlic sauce" and pushed her off him. "but i dont like garlic but i love chilli" shane nodded and went into the kitched just as a gust of wind blew into the house.

Claire had arrived back from TPU and myrnins lab. "hey CB... hows it goin', hows myrnin dare i ask?" "im good, myrnins well myrnin, he some va-" she didnt finish her sentance she was cut off by eve " Vain man, one crazy guy. yeah i know" giving claire the warning look "anyway this is louise. louise claire." they exchanged hellos before claire shouted. "Shane! where are you?" a muffled voice came from the kitched before he appeared at the door wearing an apron saying kiss the chef. Claire was glad he didnt where the naked chef one. She couldnt resist though. she walked upto shane, and put her hands round his neck and on her tip toes kissed him. he put his arms round her waist and kissed her back. they were interupted by eve " eew guys get a room!" Shane grabed claires bottom lip between his teeth and tugged gently. Claire giggled and shane whispered "kitchen pronto".

Claire turned round and walked over to the sofa and grabbed her backpack she heard Louise whisper to Eve"Claire, right?" eve nodded "is dating shane? isnt she like a little young fourteen? well she looks it" Claire swung round to face Louise "no, im not fourteen im 18 for your information and yes i am dating shane, its a little rude commenting? you've been her like 2 minutes?" and with that she turned swiftly and stormed into the kitchen.
