Waking up from last night felt refreshing in a way like a burden had been lifted from my shoulders, but I also felt happy that I got to spend time with Merry even though I was expecting us to spend some time in a different way. overall, I think we both enjoyed our time last night.

As I get up so that I can put on some pants I feel a tug on my arm which makes me stop moving. I look at my arm and see a sleeping Merry wrapped around my lower arm like a bear, I notice some hair of hers streaking down, the strand also almost in her mouth. I move the strand of her to behind her ear and kiss her on the forehead which has her grip on my arm weaken.

I get out of bed and put on my clothes but not after I had shower which felt nice as the last time I think I had one was.... I will go with a really long time ago. As I leave the bathroom all squeaky clean and dressed, I noticed Merry had woke up as she was looking over at the door, she most likely woke up because of me having a shower.

"Good morning sleepy head" I say looking at her it takes her bit to process things and when she does she covers her face which had turned bright red like ripe cherry apple, speaking of an apple I could go with one right now smith or cherry as long as I get one, "Why are you still here?" I hear from the covers that Merry is hiding herself amongst.

I smile and snort at the question, finding it a bit funny, "What embarrassed that you had intercourse and the person is still here?" she shoots out of the covers still red in the face and well... not dressed making me a bit embarrassed myself so I turn my head, "NO!" she yelled before she continued "it is more the fact that I am trying to wrap my head the whole situation" she then noticed that I was looking away and formed a smile that I noticed out of the corner of my eye.

"Oh, are you embarrassed because I am naked?" I stay silent feeling hot in the face, "I don't understand why though just last night you saw me like this” I cough a bit and walk to the door to leave her room to enter the kitchen, "The shower is all yours" I say before exiting the room.

Why do I feel like a kid now suddenly like hell I am 20 I should not be acting like this but I am, I guess it only shows how much I need to grow before I can really consider myself an adult or really a man. I sigh and look for ingredients for some omelets for a breakfast meal which I also have not had in a long time.

as I stand there mixing and stirring for the omelets to be made Merry comes out of her room, well it is not hers but Jacksons other bed room and lucky for us these walls are very sound proof, Merry stand next to me and begins to help with preparing for the omelets to be cooked and she also brought out a separate pan for some bacon to be cooked.

After a little while we had all the food cooked and served and as if as he was waiting for them to be prepared Jackson come out of his room. He sat down and we all started to eat. it was quite for a bit then Robbert opened a door we all look towards and has he changed in the two almost three years since I have seen him.

"Oh I did not know we were having a picnic in here" he with a smile having both Jackson and me have one as well seeing him again, "Yeah yeah come on sit down" Jackson said to him, he walks in and sits down next to me and sighs, "Jeez you gotten taller and bigger" I chuckle at that, "And you still look as old as ever" I said before having a mouth full of food making him laugh.

I look over at Merry to see if she is all right as she did want to kill the two and here is the perfect time to do so, but one look at her says it all. she has the face of someone feeling as if you are in a conversation you are not meant to be in the first place, at least she is not thinking of wanting to kill rob and Jackson but I could always be wrong as even though I had spent a couple of days with telling the truth 2 years of being told lies is still 2 years.

as much as I don’t want to be on guard around her I am going to have to be, "Merry it is nice to meet you after all this time" Rob said without no gloomy look or anything but a smile and a warm welcome at that, "Y-yes nice to meet you" Merry said awkwardly Rob notice this and did not decide to prod further into it.

"So Arthor how have you been" I hummed a bit to think of an answer, "I want to know as your confirm count of kills is pretty big for someone for being on the front for only a couple months" he said before I can give my original answer I was going to give but this time it was going to be easy to answer, "I would love to say yeah I am doing good but having to deal with hallucinations is a bit of a hassle don't you think" I say jokingly as it is really the only way to well be somewhat sane in the head.

Rob and I start to laugh although having Merry look at me worry, "Jeez to think you are seeing the dead how cool I wish I could" I smile and look at him, "What so you can finally have some friends?" Rob brought up his hand and started to put on face like he was hurt in his heart like in those romance shows, "I may have no friends but hey even if they are ghosts a friend is a friend" all of us laugh expect Merry.

"So why are you here Rob?" Jackson askes, Robbert stops laugh and clears his throat, "I saw the note you had left and wanted to make sure you are all good" he look at me and Merry and then back at Jackson, "But you have these two here so I guess I had no reason to fear" he smiles when he had finished.

Nothing was important was talked about after that just some small talk between Jackson, Robbert and I with Merry being the Extremely quite one, but I don't want to question it as well she was the one who said she wanted to kill him and now she has learnt the truth but she is being more quite then yesterday.

After a bit when we had all finished, we left to go to the planning room as well we must plan how to get mark away from those Vilight’s in one way or another.
