others…others were just for the fun of it.” Blake said making a streak of fear race through my body. By the look on his face he knew that he had scared me to a certain point although I would never tell him. I was in a plane full of murderous immortals. ‘Great’ I thought as I sank lower into the seat.
    “Blake will you kindly stop. You’re gonna give the lass a heart attack.’ Ashwin said before looking towards me. ‘I don’t know about my brother but me, myself, I have not ever killed for pure fun. I will admit that we’ve had to take care of some problems over the years though. With this life you gain some enemies but everyone else was a mistake. Don’t let them scare you and if they do just don’t show it.” She explained before she stood up to walk into the back of the plane where she remained for the rest of the flight.
    Once we had landed safely on the ground I let out a deep sigh of relief. I was the type of person who like her feet firmly planted on the solid ground. Ashwin seemed happiest to be back in her homeland, taking a deep breath of air after she exited the plane. “I do love the smell of Ireland at night.” She said as she walked towards the car that was waiting for them. Jaryn and Blake walked with me in tow towards the same car as Sebastian followed. After everyone was in the car it started moving and ended at a large manor. It was bigger than large, it was huge. Like a place I could surely get lost in.
    I was led in through a large side door, made to sit at the island in the middle of a large, modern looking kitchen. Without warning I burst into tears - the stress of the night had finally taken its toll. I was kidnapped by a group of crazy immortals and taken thousands of miles away from my home. Suddenly my own bed didn’t seem so bad, I should have just gone home after the movie rather than back to Reid’s. The one time I listened to my heart rather than my head and look at where it’s gotten me. Jaryn filled a clear glass with water and handed it to me. I took it carefully not wanting to ruffle his feathers anymore than they already were. “Go on take it lass. You have to be parched after a long trip without one drop of liquid to touch your tongue.” He said kindly.
    “Thank you.” I said as I took the glass, placing it to my lips. At that moment nothing tasted better. He was right although I didn’t want to admit it to him I was dying of thirst. He shot me something that seemed to be a smile then walked over to his siblings where they were discussing the night’s events.
    “What do we do with her?” Blake asked his older brother.
    “We’ll put her up in a room and then we wait. I threw Reid hard so I don’t even know if he’s woken up yet.” Sebastian explained.
    “Were keeping that thing in the house with us?” Blake snapped at his brother and his judgment or lack thereof.
    “She’s not a wild animal Blake, she a human being like us.” Jaryn said, suddenly being a voice of reason.
    “She’s nothing like us, she’s mortal. She shouldn’t even be in the same room as we are.” Blake barked before he stormed off. Although I was close enough to hear everything that was said I was close to hear his words and they hurt.
    “Perhaps this wasn’t a grand idea Sebastian.” Ashwin suggested.
    “We wanted Reid to come home and she will bring him home. He cares for her and doesn’t want any harm to come to her. Trust me Ashwin.” Sebastian said before he walked out of the room and up to his own room. She did trust him, above all the others she trusted Sebastian. He was the eldest and wisest out of them all. 
    I was taken to the north wing of the house where they said I was the only one. If I needed something then I would have to get it myself because they didn’t have servants because of their lifestyle, keeping hired help around they would question why they never changed. Made sense to me, hard to explain to an aging maid why her employers weren’t. I thanked
