Jeremy parked his car at the address Veronica had given him. She was waiting for him outside.
“What are those signs?” Jeremy asked, pointing at the signs on the wall.
“They’re to keep ghosts out” Veronica explained.
“Ghosts?” Jeremy asked skeptic.
“Yeah, you know, dead people” Veronica said. “You can’t see the signs during the day, because it’s fluorescent paint”
“So, ghosts can’t enter” Jeremy said slowly.
“Well, they can travel with mediums, but you’re not a medium” Veronica replied obviously. She squeezed her eyes and cast Jeremy an exploratory glance. “You’re not a medium,…are you?”
“No” Jeremy quickly said with a nervous smile. Veronica examined him a few more seconds and then opened the door. She walked in front of him. It was pretty dark, but she didn’t bother turning on the lights.
“So, tell me again, why you want to join us? Why would you want to kill all vampires, werewolves and witches?” she asked.
“Because I’m human and they’re…abominations” Jeremy answered. “They don’t have the right to live. This is our earth, it’s time we take it back”
Veronica raised her eyebrows. “Have you been practicing that speech?”
“Yeah, Jeremy, have you been practicing that speech?” Jenna echoed.
“All right” Veronica said. “We train every single day, starting from 6 am sharp. Don’t be late”
“What about school?” Jeremy asked.
“If you worry about grades, you’re not ready for this” Veronica replied sharp.
“No, it’s just, my history teacher lives with me. He’ll notice I’m not there” Jeremy explained.
“Then, try being here whenever you can” Veronica sighed. “Oh, and don’t tell your sister. She might inform her friends”
Jeremy agreed. “Can I go now?” he asked a little nervous. He felt someone was watching him.
“Yeah, you can go” Veronica dismissed him.
Jeremy quickly left and dialed Damon’s phone.
“She’s alone now” was all he said.
“What are those signs?” Jeremy asked, pointing at the signs on the wall.

I could kick myself. Why the hell had I done it? Like the stupid thing was any use to me anyway. Of course I knew why I had done it: boredom and a source of entertainment. These two things were precisely the reason why I had done many of the things I had done in my 1000 years of existence.
Now I was running from werewolves. You could say I was on their "most wanted list" which was definitely not a good thing. Werewolves hunted in packs and are a very loyal species. It was impossible to know how much of them were after me. Of course I was no stranger to being on the run which is why I never really had any real relationships. Before this…well that was a very long story indeed…
