"So where is Cooper?" Jason asked taking a seat on the couch.
"Away for work," Mac said looking back at the TV. This was the first day in some time where she could relax with no big worries. She knew there were things to do, but she just couldn't bring herself to deal with it today.
The movie day the other day was relaxing that was until Gage showed up. Then Mac couldn't help but hide in her room. She knew she was this all-powerful vampire-werewolf but her human side couldn't take the rejection. She was after all a girl first.
"What does he do?" Jason asked.
"You know I'm not sure," Mac asked putting down the remote. "I think something with his coven," Mac said.
"He is in a coven?" Jason asked alarm. Most vampires he didn't like but something about vampires in covens made them act extra savage.
"I think he hunts hunters?" Mac said, "With his coven."
" He...Hunters?" Jason asked confused.
"You know we learned about this in school, hunters the humans that know about the fantasy world. They hunt us all down one by one and try to kill us," Mac said.
"I know what hunters are, but I have never heard of vampires hunting down hunters," Jason said.
"Well, how many covens do you hang out with on a regular basis?" Mac asked.
"None, but still a coven brings trouble," Jason said. "Has he texted you today?"
"Yes like ten times," Mac said finally turning her attention to Jason. "What is with the 3rd degree about Cooper?"
"I know you guys had a falling out in high school, it is just surprising that after all these years he is different," Jason said.
"People can change, I know I have," Mac said.
"Now, we both know that isn't true, you are the same girl that was awkward at every college party you went to," Jason said.
"I wasn't that awkward," Mac said.
"When weren't you that awkward?" Ethan asked coming in from the kitchen, he had two cereal bowls in his hand with fruit loops. He handed a bowl over Mac.
"Back in college," Mac said taking the bowl, "thanks."
"Well I didn't know you back then, but I would say you are still pretty awkward," Ethan said taking a bite.
"Thank you," Jason said.
"Name one time I was awkward," Mac said.
"Last week you tripped in training," Jason said.
"Like I've never seen a vampire trip, but that was hilarious," Ethan said.
"That was one time," Mac replied.
"It happened last month too," Ethan responded without missing a beat.
"Shut up," Mac huffed putting her bowl down and standing up.
"But it is why we love you, for your awkwardness," Jason said to Mac retreating back. She couldn't help but put her middle finger high in the air once they started laughing.
"I am not awkward... I'll show them," Mac mumbled to herself going up the stairs.
"I would say you are pretty awkward," A voice said up the stairs. Mac couldn't help but stop in her tracks. "Gage."
"Like one time in class the teacher called on you and you didn't know the answer so you just stared back at him almost like he never spoke, it was awkward for everybody involved," Gage said smiling.
