3: The Pink Visitor

'Qualina?!' gasped Jolie.
 She couldn't believe her eyes. Qualina was her best friend within their Coven. She was extremely brainy, and Jolie was jealous of that. If it wasn't her individual looks that attracted Jack, she at least prayed it could be intelligence.
 Qualina narrowed her eyes and stepped through the doorway.
How did she find us? Jolie thought.

 'Do you have any idea what you've done?' yelled Qualina. Her face showed nothing but rage and concern.
 Jack was sitting on the sofa with his head in his hands.
  Coward.

'Qualina? H-h-how did you find us?' Jolie stammered. She was confused and scared. If Qualina has found them its only a matter of time until the rest did.
 'I told you I'm not just a pretty face Jolie. I've been tracking you since you left. I knew something was wrong that last week you spent at the mansion,'
'You had no right,' Jack spat his words towards her like daggers. He was furious. He needed to know he had full control over the situation, and letting somebody find them poked holes in that security he needed.

'Come here Qualina,' Jolie pulled her best friend close and almost cried with relief. She was so scared and seeing her best friend came more as a comfort than a shock.

'You stupid girl Jolie. I don't know why you're risking your own life for this guy,'
'I am still in the room pinky,'
'Yes I know, and its very unfortunate,'
'Ladies!' snapped Jolie.
 Qualina and Jack narrowed their eyes at each other. They had never been the best of friends.
 'Sit down Jolie, I need to talk to you both,'

Jolie walked over to the sofa to face Jack. She knew she was only assisting what had happened that night at the mansion, but she knew she was still as good as dead if they found her. Well... technically she was already dead.
 Qualina parked her behind next to Jolie, trying to avoid eye contact with Jack. She hated him for dragging Jolie into all of this. If she could teleport to the night that Claudia died, she would of happily grabbed the steak from her killer and done it herself. Claudia was the reason for all of this...

Everyone fell silent as they sat down.
 'They're onto you both,' Qualina spoke softly as the broke the silence.
Jack moved his hand along his jaw bone and stared at one spot on the sofa in deep thought.
 How could I have let this happen? If Jolie gets caught.. I'll never forgive myself. I can't lose someone all over again.

'How?' asked Jolie.
 She was sick of waiting around for them to find her. She couldn't live like this forever.
'They've sent out undercover vamps all over the nearest towns to the mansion. Luckily for you, I managed to hack into the system and I know they haven't searched here yet.'
'But...?' continued Jack.
 He knew it was only a matter of time.
 'But,' she moved on 'it won't be long until they do. I suggest you both move again.'
Jolie grunted.
'How long are we going to have to keep running? Away from the Vampire community our knowledge of that night means nothing,'
'I don't think Kraven is willing to take that risk,' Qualina looked down. She knew they would be caught eventually. Kraven would stop at nothing to protect his authority and power.
 He is the leader of their Coven, and has been for the past 700 years.

'So what do we do from here?' Jack finally let words escape his mouth.
'I don't know,' replied Qualina.
'Well thanks for the warning and brilliant advice pinky, but I think we'll be fine,'
'Jack!' Jolie frowned and stared at the man she loved. 'Qualina could be punished for her action of coming here tonight, if they ever found out. The very least you could do is be grateful for her loyalty.'
 'I do apologize,' he looked down as he spoke. This was so out of character for him.

'The only thing I can suggest is to get you back into the mansion and try to snoop around the files related to your search,'
 Jolie closed her eyes. She knew her best friend would come up with a crazy idea like this.
'Thats ridiculous Qualina! They would recognize me in an instant,'
'Thats the thing,' she replied 'I've been working on my alchemy skills. I've managed to create an elixir to change your body shape,'
'Go on...'
'Well, if we changed the way you look very drastically you would easily get in if you kept your head down, the last place they expect you to be is right under their noses!'

 'She has a very good point,' Jack lifted his head up.
All three vampires looked at each other with a small smile.
 'Lets do this,'
