SS Spoilers:

Angeline was scared and pissed, but mostly guilty. She had let down Jill. She was supposed to protect her with everything she had and she had failed.

"Angel," said Trey tentatively from behind her. She ignored him and continued to look up at the stars, as if the answer to where Jill was, was splattered across the sky.

"Angeline," this time the voice came from Eddie. Hearing his heartbroken voice along with the guilt churning in her gut, she exploded.

She turned around swiftly causing both boys to take a step back.

"We're going to find her," said Trey with determination.

She ignored him and instead focused on Eddie's face, which was pale with stress and his eyes were bloodshot from crying. Angeline's guilt intensified.

"How can you even stand to look at me?" she cried in frustration. "It's my fault that Jill's kidnapped. I was in the same room when it happened and I didn't even know!"

By this point, the tears she had kept at bay flowed freely down her face. Eddie took a step forward and caught her hand, holding it entwined with his.

"Stop blaming yourself. It's as much your fault as it is mine's. But having a guilt contest isn't going to bring her back."

He sounded sincere and when Angeline looked at Trey's worn out face, seeing the spark of determination in his eyes, she knew that they didn't blame her and were right there by her side.

"Okay," she said, steeling herself. "What's the plan?"

"There's my fierce girl," said Trey with a smile. She smiled back slightly and then let it drop as she listened attentively to Eddie's plan. It was a damn good one, and also the only one they had.

Zombie Apocalypse AU: 

"Just shut up! I can't hear myself think!" Sydney snapped and immediately everyone quieted. 

The wheels in her head were turning rapidly as she began to think of solutions of the problem at hand. They were locked inside a little shop, surrounded by zombies outside the shop. 

"We're going to fucking die. I can't believe this. This was your brilliant idea, Ivashkov. I'll be kicking your ass in the afterlife," Trey raged. 

Adrian merely shrugged, although Sydney could see the guilt in his eyes. 

"Trey enough. It's nobody's fault. We all agreed to come," Jill said, standing up for Adrian. 

"Whatever," he muttered. 

The sound of glass cracking stalled any further talk and they all turned to see that the zombies managed to almost break through the glass. A few more hits and they'd be in. 

Sydney shuddered slightly. 

"You've got any escape plans yet, Sherlock?" asked Rose. 

"No," said Sydney, frustrated. How come when she needed her intelligence most, it failed her?

She was letting panic and fear get the best of her. She took a deep, calming breath and tried to clear her mind of all thoughts. 

She was in her mind palace, in her element and she saw the problem from various point of views, flipping through plan after plan like a book. 

Finally, she focused on a promising one. She opened her eyes and was about to explain when the glass broke completely. 

"Holy shit," breathed Christian. 

"Run towards the basement,I'll explain the escape plan on the way," Sydney commanded. 

They ran and Adrian, breathing hard, said, " You know how tingly I get when you take control like that, Sage."

Sydney would have rolled her eyes if she had the strength but she was a little preoccupied with running for her life. 

"Seriously, Adrian? We're on the run for our lives and you're flirting? Can't believe you've managed to survive this long," Eddie commented.

"My wit and charm are never off," Adrian said back, grinning stupidly. 

"Shut the hell up and run," said Rose and they ran until they reached the basement, locking the door behind them.

That varies in verse.. 

Verse 1 - Eddie, and they are secretly dating.

I was sitting down in the bed at the old hotel, feeling sorry for myself when there was a tap at the door. 

I immediately tensed up but said, "Come in."

I couldn't help but make the sign of evil against my shoulder. It turned out to be Trey, thankfully, and I let out a breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding in. 

"Hey," he said quietly, closing the door, his eyes roaming over my body worriedly. He looked at the untouched plate of food by my nightstand and frowned.

"You should eat before you wither away to nothing and the wind carries you away."

"At least I'll be away from those evil creatures," I murmured. 

Trey sighed and came to stand in front of me. He reached a hand out and I tensed automatically but he just patted my head comfortably and gave me a feather light kiss on the head.

I hadn't had a gentle touch in such a long time that I leaned my head against his chest in gratitude. 

"Thank you," I whispered. I hoped that he understood what I meant. That I was thankful that he broke me out of ReEducation and now he was here, and didn't just leave me alone with those vampires.

"It wasn't my doing," he whispered back. "Adrian was the hero." Feeling my tensed reaction, he pulled back and gave me a small smile.

"Don't worry though. I'll take one hundred percent of the credit. I was pretty badass."

I smiled but it wobbled. He'd said the magical name that always caused a searing pain in my chest. Adrian. 

The Moroi with the emerald eyes and the messy hair. The Moroi that was responsible for landing me in ReEducation. 

"They want to talk to you," Trey said carefully. 

I knew who they were. I nodded my assent and grabbed onto Trey's hand for moral support. And human contact.

Sydney kept nervously readjusting her plastic sword across her shoulder blade and looking at the school's main doors waiting for Adrian to come. 

Sighing when they didn't open, she turned back to her group. She smiled when she saw Jill in her Devil costume, looking sweet in a red dress and black boots. Angeline, on the other hand, was an Angel but there was nothing angelic about her.

She had on a short white dress that barely covered her butt although her silver sparkly boots made up for it since they went mid thigh. 

Eddie was dressed as the Doctor, Ten, who she actually knew about which seemed to surprise them. Of course she knew about the Doctor; the classic ones were her favorite but she could see the appeal for Ten. 

Trey had actually dressed in the same costume as Sydney but in male form. They were both Vampire Hunters which Sydney thought would amuse Adrian. 

As if conjured by her thoughts, Adrian walked through the double doors looking ridiculously hot in a striped white-and-red shirt with glasses. He also had on a beanie with some messy strands of hair poking out. 

Sydney was sure she was drooling but couldn't bring herself to care or tear her eyes away from the marvelous sight.

"Who are you supposed to be?" she asked when he was close.

He gave her a brief appraising look, starting from her toes and making his way to her face. Then, he smiled brightly. "I'm Waldo."

She was confused and it was apparent to the others. 

"No! Say it ain't so, Melrose. You don't know who Waldo is? The Waldo? Where's Waldo books; you've never heard of them?" That was Trey, looking incredulous. 

"No," she stated. Now this was a novelty; they knew a book that she had never heard of before. 

"I'll educate you on Waldo another day, Sage. For now we have a party to attend to."

They all agreed while Sydney was left wondering if there was a double meaning to his words, barely listening to Eddie and Adrian bicker about which Doctor was the best. 

After much debate, everyone agreed to just stay in and watch a movie. This, of course, set off an argument in choosing which movie to watch. 

Jill and Lissa wanted a comedic romance, perhaps Something Borrowed. The guys, consisting of Adrian, Trey and Eddie, along with Angeline and Rose, wanted a action packed film.They were hoping for something gory, like Kill Bill.

Christian was hoping for a horror movie, preferably one of Stephen King's. 

Sydney was hoping for a classic or documentary. She had been meaning to watch "A Clockwork Orange". 

Dimitri wanted to watch a western; any one of the classic westerns, he wasn't picky.

In the end, they ended up watching Dracula, laughing at some of the inaccuracies but overall enjoying themselves immensely. 

It was a fun activity that didn't include Vampires, Alchemists, or Warriors of Light or any other Supernatural creature. It was a group of friends doing something normal for a change. 

Adrian and Trey were in deep shit. 

Adrian's mind was whirling with confusion and panic. Trey appeared to have been shocked still. 

"Dude," breathed Trey trying his hardest not to attract attention to himself. "What the hell are Strigoi doing here? At Amberwood?"

Adrian just shook his head slightly. He had come here to talk with Sydney since she wasn't answering his phone. It was pretty late--about eight 'o clock-- but he had been worried.

As if conjured by his thoughts, Sydney rounded the corner on the far side of the hallway. She didn't appear to notice the two Strigoi yet, but unfortunately she noticed Adrian. 

"Adrian?" she questioned her eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "What are you doing..."

Now she noticed them. Her eyes went round with fear and she took a step back. One of the Strigois snarled and rounded on her while the other stalked towards Trey and Adrian.

Adrian wanted to run over to where Sydney was and help her take the Strigoi, even though he knew she probably had a better chance than he did. Still, his first instinct was to always protect her no matter what.

"We can take them," muttered Adrian rolling up his sleeves, ignoring Trey's incredulous look.

"Are you out of your mind? What are we gonna fight them with? Our bare hands?" 

"Come on, Warrior of Light. Are you scared?" 

Trey muttered a string of intelligible words under his breath that sounded vaguely like profanity but dropped his backpack nonetheless. 

"Dude, we are so dead."
