that…that private sex stuff to yourself. Yuck, who the hell owns a place like that and where is it?”
“I don’t know where it is exactly. Tucker blindfolds me when we go there. As for the owner, no one has ever met him or her.”
“Holy shit Erica, Tucker is gross. Why does he bring you to a place like that? Eww…yuck… this image in my mind is grossing me out.”
Erica eyes filled with tears.
She slid under the covers and pulled them over her head. “I’m sorry I told you.”
Alivia felt bad and went to kneel down beside the bed. “I’m sorry Erica. You just caught me by surprise. You know me, to each their own. If that’s something you enjoy doing then go right ahead and do it. But please, I beg you. Just don’t tell me anymore, okay?”
Erica slid the covers down.
Alivia hugged her and said. “Don’t cry, I’m truly sorry for being so insensitive.”
Alivia felt like a horrible best friend.
“It’s okay, I promise not to tell you about it anymore.”
She never looked at Tucker and Erica the same way again after that…
Alivia crawled back through her bedroom window.
She walked over to her bed, put her poetry book on the nightstand, slid under the covers and closed her eyes.

Devin needed to show Chace that he was right about Alivia. He flung open the double doors to his bedroom and stepped out onto the wraparound porch. He jumped off and sped at lightning speed through the woods to Alivias’ house.
He hid in the old maple tree outside of her window. He could hear her toss and turn in her bed.
Liv, just relax and breathe deeply, it’s just a dream. An echoic voice said in a comforting whisper.
Who’s that? Devin thought.
I’m Lawson. The echoic voice replied.
Lawson, as in Alivias’ brother Lawson ? Devin asked.
Yes.
You’re dead. How are you talking through Alivias’ mind?
I’m not sure, when I died I drifted out of my body and the next thing I knew I was in Alivias’ head.
“Who are you talking to?” Chace asked in a harsh whisper as he leaped up into the tree. “And what the hell are you doing sitting outside Alivias’ window?”
“Trying to prove a point.”
“What point would that be exactly?”
“I told you that there was something going on with Alivia and I was right. I’m talking to Lawson.”
Chace looked surprised. “As in Alivias’ brother Lawson?”
“That’s him.”
“But how?” Chace asked.
That’s Chace, I presume. Lawson said sounding more like a human.
Yes. Devin answered.
“I don’t hear anything Devin, are you sure you’re talking to Lawson and you’re not just messing with me?
You know like trying to make me believe that Alivia is crazy so that you can have her all to yourself?”
Alivia is in danger . Lawson said, now sounding completely human.
In danger ? Devin asked.
There is a dark shadow trying to break through the realm.
Break through from where? Devin asked.
Hellsgrave.
Devin knew all about Hellsgrave.
Vamprincessa and Vamprinceton, rulers of the vampire clan sent his mother and father there for stealing the ancient book of Sollecular.
“Come on Devin, really, bring me in on this conversation. Use your mind,” Chace said.
Lawson can you add Chace to the conversation?
Yes, hey Chace , Lawson said.
Chace do you hear him?
Yes, I can hear him, Devin.
Who from Hellsgrave is trying to come to this side? Devin asked.
Hellsgrave, why are we talking about Hellsgrave? Chace asked.
Alivia is in danger, Lawson repeated.
In danger? Chace asked.
Yes, someone is trying to break through the spiritual realm , said Devin.
Who? Chace asked.
Vanstrauss, Lawson replied.
Devin and Chace looked at each other as their eyes widened.
Fear gripped Devin as he remembered the story his Zio Sandino told him long ago…
“Vanstrauss is half vampire, half demon. He claimed that he was possessed with the spirit of Satan. But that wasn’t enough for Vanstrauss. He wanted the ultimate power. That’s when he searched for a
