Miriam can never win me again on a race, she has always been the victor since forever, but since three years ago, I have been the one taking the lead and I have no intention of giving up that spot to her again. we are now standing in front of our mansion or I can say coven, because this is where all the Benjamins live, she was just standing behind me, wearing this weak smile on her face, she is definitely worried, I can tell, I believe she is wondering what has actually happened this past years, who won’t wonder, especially when she has always been the one winning before this past three years, my mum, Caro has been on my neck all this while, and that’s the way it should be, that’s actually me, I have been trying my best to find something new, which would make me to depart from my bored status for the past fifty years, but I really haven’t found something interesting, Miriam has been a great person in my life, ever since she was transformed, she has been the one keeping me sane, making the boring life quite easier for me. Caro has been scolding me, always telling me that I am a bad influence to the coven, she even once stopped my partnership with Miriam for two years before, and that was actually the worst she saw in me within those period, Caro has always been acting as the mean and serious one, turns out that Daniel, who now plays the role of my Dad is always there to make things less intense. “ hope you know it’s about time we go inside there”, Miriam said to me as I turned around to look at her, both of us know what is going to happen inside there if we go in, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t going in, seems like she is ready to take some scolding like we always do, but it’s just that Miriam still haven’t gotten used to it like me.

The front door opened, as Jackson comes out from the house, looking at the both of us with a wide smile on his face, he probably enjoys it anytime I am being scolded, “ you are wanted inside by Caro, just hope you are ready to be grounded like before”, Jackson said, laughing at me, this isn’t actually going to be the first time I am going to be grounded for missing school, school is a lot of torture for me, and I don’t like things that makes me uncomfortable, I looked back at Miriam, to see her reaction on the information we just got from Jackson, and she never disappoints me, she looked scared, if I was just a human, I would never believe that a vampire can get scared like Miriam, she has always been hiding in my shadow, and this one is never going to be any different, since I was the one that dragged her to this mess, “ don’t worry yourself Miriam, I got this ”, I said to her as I winked at her with my left eye before looking at Jackson again, who was patiently standing beside the door waiting for us to move inside. I wonder why Daniel keeps on asking me to go back to school, I have graduated a number of times there. whenever I graduate from school, I will have to stay ten years away from it, then start again so that no one might recognize me, I never imagined that long life would be so boring, especially when you always have someone bossing you around like a toy, turns out that I have someone like Miriam who is always going to do whatever I ask of her. the door opened again as Phillips came out from the door, he was wearing an angry face as if he was tired waiting inside for me to come inside the house, “ your wait is over, if you don’t come inside now, then I would be forced to drag you in myself”, he said, demonstrating his speech with his left hand which had is thumb brought up, following in the demonstrations.

Miriam was standing behind me, hiding from Caro’s view, as if she expected Caro never to see her, Daniel has been issuing his warning for close to thirty minutes now, as if when he finish with his poems, that I am going to heed all he just said, “ and for you Miriam, instead of bringing her back to her mind, you followed her just like a housefly going inside the grave with a corpse”, Caro shouted angrily at her, as she continued to hide from her view, “ I am sorry”, she apologized with a soft tone as if she regrets her actions, I hate being in the center of this movie, all of them behaving like actors and actresses, I just folded my hands on top of my stomach, just below my breast, watching them waste my Prescious lifetime, I looked around to see whether I could see Henry. Henry has always been the guy trying to get my attention despite both of us dating for a short while before breaking up, our relationship lasted something like five years, nothing really happened between us, I just got bored of him, he was always acting so loving and caring, he is definitely the kind of man human girls want, maybe vampires too, but I have never been a fan of his sweet loving personal. just like I thought, I saw him standing at the far end of the room, with all her attention on me, I can never leave without getting someone craving, I licked my lips, with my attention focused on him too, as I winked at him, “ get your focus back here Jessica, I am speaking to you”, Daniel shouted at me, I can see Miriam flinch behind me, as if the shout of Daniel’s voice pinched her, quite interesting how all this was going.
