and cheering going on at the other end of the house.
    “Where do we go
now?” Rachel asked, looking at Hunter. “What do we do now?”
    “You have to go
find the book,” Penelope said as Hunter nodded.
    “Yes, you must
find the book,” Hunter repeated.
    “Where? Where is
it?” Rachel asked in a panicked voice.
    “The last time I
saw it, it was upstairs in a secret bookcase in one of the bedrooms,” Hunter
said.
    “That’s vague,”
Rachel replied. “How will I ever find it?”
    “You have to
trust him,” Penelope said. “You must search for it.”
    “I think the room
had plaid wall paper, but I’m not sure. I can’t really remember because I was
rushed out so quickly—I only took a quick glance at the book and then had to
run,” Penelope added.
    “I don’t remember
that,” Hunter said, “But I’m a guy, I wouldn’t notice that sort of thing
anyway.”
    “Ok, so upstairs,
bedroom, secret book case, and plaid wall paper. Got it!” Rachel said.
    “You have to
hurry though before they catch us. We don’t have much time,” Hunter said.
    “We’ll distract
them down here, and you go upstairs. Hurry!” Hunter added.
    Rachel quickly
turned around and then made a full circle and faced Hunter again.
    “Wait, where’s
the stairs?” Rachel asked. “That would be an important first step!”
    “They’re just
through that room on your left,” Hunter replied.
    “Now go!
Quickly!” Penelope said.
    “But wait, what
happens if we get split up? What happens if I’m caught?” Rachel asked in fear.
    “Don’t forget to
use your powers and if we get split up let’s meet at the cemetery at midnight.
It’s the only place that we can’t be sensed. We will be safe there,” Hunter
said.
    “Ok,” Rachel
said.
    Rachel turned
back around and headed towards the stairs. She passed through the room with the
Beirut game and quickly dodged the stares and smells of the other vampires. She
couldn’t help but wonder if her perfume was helping her cause. She hoped it
was.
    As she got to the
stairs, she looked around to make sure nobody was watching her and then quickly
crept up the stairs. On her way up, a guy and a girl were on their way down,
laughing and holding hands. They were almost tripping down the steps which lead
her to believe they were drunk. She hoped they weren’t vampires, although had a
sinking feeling given their scent that they were. She hoped that their alcohol
intake would hinder their ability to smell her or sense she was there.
    She was pretty
sure by the time she got to the top of the steps she was in the clear. Nobody
was fooling her and the two who went down didn’t stop to notice her.
    At the top of the
steps was a long hallway with many closed doors. She looked to her right and
then to her left and didn’t know which way to go first. She felt scared and
pressured. Her heart was racing out of her chest and she knew she was tight on
time and had to move quickly.
    She turned to her
left and started with the first door on her left. She knocked ever so slightly
on the door to make sure she wasn’t barging in on anyone and when silence came
from the other end, she opened the door slowly. She immediately looked at the
wallpaper and saw that it was plaid. She figured she must be in the right room
and was inwardly congratulating herself for finding it on the first try. She
looked around for the hidden book shelf but didn’t see any bookshelves. She
went over to the walls and started pushing them gently to see if they moved.
    Nothing.
    Then she pushed
on the furniture to see if that moved but it didn’t. It was just furniture—not
some secret bookcase.
    She began to
doubt that this was the correct room and decided to leave it and try another
room. She continued down the left side of the hallway and into the second door
on her left. She looked first at the wall paper and was surprised to see that
it was the exact same plaid as the first room. She became confused and wondered
if all the
