Inside the bookstore was cool, and the crisp, papery smell of new books permeated throughout the entire room. Jezzie breathed deeply, for while she was not overly fond of books, she loved the smell of them. Then she surveyed the store, wondering where she would find books on vampires. Myths? Fantasy? The supernatural? Probably in any one of them. Which section she looked in would affect the type of information she found, she knew. This was something she had learned in previous visits to libraries and bookstores, researching the humans' take on witches, which was both accurate, inaccurate, insulting, and very amusing, all mixed together. Humans thought funny things.
Decided she would quickly run through all of the sections and see which ones she got through, she started forward, weaving neatly through the shelves. It wasn't a large store, so it was amazing that they had managed to cram this many bookshelves inside. She found the supernatural section and meandered slowly along, trailing her finger along the spines until one popped out at her. Sliding it out, she flipped through it. Nope, not what she was looking for. She wasn't out to kill Micah, after all. So no, vampire hunting wasn't for her. Returning it to the shelf, she browsed a bit more before finding one that looked interesting. Then she moved into the other sections.
A few minutes later, she had three books on vampires, as well as one on Grimm fairytales and another on quilting. There went all her birthday money. The clerk put the books in a paper bag, and Jezzie smiled and thanked her, holding the books to her chest.
The door of the store opened, and Jezzie turned to see that the boys were here, either to fetch her or to browse themselves. She wasn't sure how fond either of them were of books, though, so she assumed it was the first option.
"Hi guys! Did you find one?" she asked, trotting over and catching sight of the cross on Jonathan's chest. "Oooh, pretty," she breathed, leaning in closer to get a better look. Straightening, she beamed at both boys, still clutching her paper bag to her chest. "Are we going home now, or were you planning on doing something else first?" she asked, since she really hadn't clarified their plans before they came.

JADANA
Jada reached eagerly for the plate placed in front of her. Strawberry pancakes and a blueberry muffin! Yummy! She bit into the top of the muffin eagerly. It was soft, and still warm, so Jonathan had to have baked them that morning. He was nice. So, so nice. And he knew Jada's weakness for blueberry muffins. "It's yummy!" she said, blueberry smears on her cheeks. It was her version of a thank you.
"Okay," she said, already feeling more awake. She finished her muffin, since she was the type to eat her food one section at a time. She arranged the sliced strawberries into a neat line on the edge of her pancake, then carefully rolled it up so the strawberries were tucked inside. She took a bite of the pancake roll. Delicious.
Micah got up and got ready to leave, saying goodbye to Jonathan first. Jada looked away quickly, pained. Her mommy and daddy had looked at each other like that... She jumped when the brush went through her hair, tugging out all the snags. She gave Micah a small smile, her eyes crinkling up. "Bye bye!" She reached up and patted his side as he turned to go. He'll be back later, she told herself, nibbling on her pancake and trying to ignore the uneasiness that plagued her whenever Jonathan or Micah left her sight for more than a few minutes. He'll go to work, and then he'll come home. It'll be okay. When she was finished her pancakes she got up and put her plate on the counter by the sink, like her mommy had trained her to do. Maybe Mommy would see her from Heaven and be proud that she was still cleaning up after herself.
She scrubbed at her face with a cloth, then went to Jonathan to make sure it was really clean. As always, he seemed to find more places that needed scrubbing, despite how carefully she'd done it. Then they walked to school, hand-in-hand because it was safer that way. "Bye bye, Jonathan!" she yelled from the school entrance as he left. She bit her lip to keep from crying. Some of the kids here cried when their parents dropped them off, but Jada wouldn't! She was a big girl, and she had to be brave! He'll be back, he'll be back...
As she'd been told, Jada worked hard. She knew most of her letters already, since Daddy had taught them to her, but she still got S and Z mixed up sometimes. She knew her numbers and colours, too. Her teacher said she was very smart. Jada was just surprised that some of her classmates didn't know them yet. How could anyone mistake red for yellow? During playtime she played with Allison, since her favourite friend Becka was home sick. She liked Allison well enough, but she was super bossy sometimes. Everything had to be her way. Today was especially bad. Eventually Jada gave up and went to play cars with the boys.
Then it was time to be picked up. Jadana squatted by the door, arms around her knees, waiting with barely-concealed anxiety. Jonathan would be there. He never forgot. And sure enough, he arrived. Jada grinned and ran forward to grab his hand. Yes, she'd had a good day. Yes, she'd been good. No, she hadn't hit anyone in the eye with a racecar like she had last week. But Tommy deserved it! He was mean!
They went to the park, which was one of Jada's all-time favourite places. She played on the slide. Then she made Jonathan push her on the swings, since she had yet to figure out the whole pumping thing, even when an older boy tried to show her. She ran around and played until finally she just flopped down, too tired to play anymore. Then they went home and had a snack, and finally curled up for a nap. Jada curled up into a little ball, pushed right up into Jonathan's ribcage. She liked having naps with him. She didn't have nightmares then.
Jonathan had to shake her gently awake some time later. She mumbled sleepily, stretching and squirming like a cat that had just been disturbed in the middle of a nap. Then she got up and followed him to the kitchen. Jada wanted to play checkers, so they found a checker board. Jada didn't know how to play though, so Jonathan taught her. It was actually really easy! She just had to remember that the checkers couldn't go forward, backward, and sideways, and had to stay on the one colour. She had just gleefully captured one of Jonathan's checkers when the front door opened and shut, and then Micah was calling Jonathan to come out to the hallway.
Jadana frowned. She knew that tone. They were going to talk about things they didn't want her to know about. She didn't like that! Shouldn't she get to go talk too? When Jonathan had gone out into the hallway, Jada slid quietly off her chair and padded over, peeking around the doorway.
She screamed. Blood. Micah was covered in blood. Was he going to die? Mommy and Daddy had been covered in blood, and they never woke up again. Micah couldn't die. He wasn't allowed to! "Don't die!" she wailed, sobbing. "You're not allowed to die!" She ran over and grabbed onto his pantleg, trying to drag him farther into the house as though that would somehow save him. She was terrified. Micah and Jonathan were all she had now. She liked Micah. If he died... if he died... Somewhere, glass shattered. She wrapped both arms around his legs, clinging in desperation as she wailed. She'd grabbed and was digging her nails into his flesh in the process, but she didn't notice or care. Anything to keep Micah from leaving.

Taine and Jada sat side-by-side on the roof of an abandoned gas station, quietly eating their ice cream cones. Jadana had black cherry, and Taine had vanilla. Both had them on waffle cones, agreeing that the regular kind tasted like cardboard, so waffle was so much better. They had been sitting in companionable silence for some time now. It was Jada who broke it.
"This is when Jonathan picks me up," she said quietly. Taine glanced at her. She was quietly licking her ice cream cone, staring out over the rooftops. She was definitely worried about it. Taine sighed.
"About that..." he began, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly. How could he interrogate her about her new guardians without her realizing he was doing it?
"Uh huh?" Now she was looking at him with wide, innocent, expectant eyes.
"Those guys... their names are Jonathan and..." Crap. What was the other one called?"
"Micah." Jada supplied helpfully.
"RIght. They're vampires. You know that, don't you?"
"Well, yeah," Jada said, a little hesitantly. She frowned into her ice cream cone.
Taine inhaled deeply, completely filling his lungs. He didn't want to push his six-year-old cousin, especially not when she was in a fragile state, but this was important. "The ones who killed your parents were vampires too."
"I... know that." She licked her ice cream again, but she didn't seem interested in it anymore.
"Then why do you live with those two? How are they different from the people who killed your parents?" Vampires were selfish and violent. He knew that better than anyone. Hunting them was his occupation. 'Know your enemy' or however the saying went.
Jada seemed to seriously contemplate this question, pursing her small lips. "Jonathan says they're defective."
That hadn't been what he expected. "Uh, what?"
Jada shrugged. "I don't know what defective means though."
"It means that they're broken, or not working properly..." Taine replied.
"Oh. But they're not really like other vampires. Not like... those ones anyway." An involuntary shudder ran through the little girl. Taine immediately put his arm around her, and she leaned into the crook of his elbow. "Jonathan's really nice. He makes me pancakes!" Jada beamed. The little girl did like pancakes. "And Micah's nice too, but different." Her face darkened. "He got hurt the yesterday. He was all covered in blood, and Jonathan had to pull splinters out. It was really scary."
"Huh." Splinters. So someone had tried to off them already. He bent down slightly and brushed Jada's hair away from her neck. No bite marks... Why would two vampires keep a little human ( or rather, witch ) girl around if not as a food source? It didn't make sense. "So, do you guys go to church or anything?" he asked casually. A seemingly innocent topic change.
"Nuh uh." Well, that was disappointing. "But Micah's kosher."
"...Kosher? You mean Jewish?" As a vampire wasn't keeping kosher kind of... impossible?
"I dunno. He just eats different."
"Oh." Good to know. Good to know.
"Taine? Can I go home now? Jonathan and Micah will be worried about me... and it's getting dark." Jada looked fearfully up at the sky. "I don't like it when it's dark."
Taine was torn. On the one hand, he didn't want to send his cousin back to some scummy bloodsuckers. On the other hand, his lifestyle didn't really facilitate caring for a child. And his profession meant that he had enemies. He couldn't mix Jada up in that. But what could he do?
"...Okay," he said reluctantly. She'd been safe there so far. Hopefully she'd continue to be safe until he thought of something better. Until then, he'd keep a close watch on her, and an especially close watch on her vampire guardians.
"But Jada, you have to promise me something," he said seriously, transferring the girl to his lap and brushing her hair out of her face. She stared up at him quizically, but nodded. "If anything scary happens, or anyone tries to do something bad to you, I need you to call me through this." Out of his pocket he pulled a small silver disc on a chain. He fastened it around Jada's neck, and the girl picked it up and examined it. There were strange, tiny letters inscribed delicately in the metal, but they seemed to shift and fade whenever she tried to focus on them. She tucked it into her shirt.
"How?" she asked, fascinated.
"Just squeeze it really tight, like this," he mimed clasping his hands together in front of his chest, "and think my name really strongly. I'll hear it, and I'll come get you no matter where you are." He pulled a matching disc out from under his shirt and showed it to her. With this, his mind would be put at least a little at ease.
"Now, let's get you home." He picked her up, and jumped lightly down from the roof. Jada grabbed tightly onto his sleeves, but didn't cry out.
Soon they were on the street where Jada's house was on. Taine stopped a few houses away from the vampire house, as he thought of it, and set the girl down. "This is as far as I go, kiddo. Think you can go the rest of the way yourself?" he said, ruffling her hair. Now wasn't really the time to meet the vampire pair.
Jada looked down the street and took a big breath. It was dark, and he knew she didn't like that, but she nodded bravely. "Yeah. I'll run really fast." She said determinedly.
"All right. Then get going, little miss." He patted her on the back, and she took off, running as fast as her little legs would carry her until she banged into her own front door. Panting, she looked back at where he cousin had been standing. He was gone.
