through my nose and let
out a long sigh. My world had changed so much since my mother had
gone. Mostly, I was in love with hunting and the life that came
with it, but there were times when I wished for normal.
    I sat up again and flung back the
covers. “Come on.” I slapped Drew on the thigh. “We have to get up.
And you have to get out of here before someone sees you.
    No sooner had it come out of my mouth
did we hear a short, barely existent knock on the door. Without
waiting for me to answer the door or even call out, the knob turned
and the door flew open.
    Christina, Zander and Gavin stood in
the hallway. Even though we were clothed, I reached down and
grabbed the edge of the comforter, yanking it up over us. The move
made us look totally guilty, like we were doing something we
weren’t supposed to be doing.
    “ Oh. My. God.” Christina
covered her mouth and laughed. “Sorry!”
    “ It’s not what it looks
like,” I muttered. “Now, go away.”
    Gavin’s warm green eyes narrowed into
an angry glare and without a word, he turned around and stalked
away from the doorway.
    “ Crap.” I flung the covers
off of myself so that I could get up.
    “ Ah! Blood related!”
Zander’s hands flew to his eyes so that he could cover them and
avoid seeing is non-existent naked sister.
    “ I’m dressed, you idiot!”
I yelled. “Now will you two get the hell out of here?” I picked up
a pillow and chucked it toward him. For a girl who never misses
with a gun, the pillow totally went off course and nailed Christina
hard in the face.
    “ Dang, Chloe, defensive
much?” She picked up the pillow from where it fell on the ground
and flung it back at me.
    Zander had a grin spread across his
face. “Look Drew, pillow fight. It’s a man’s dream come
true.”
    “ Go away,” Drew told him
in a sleepy voice.
    “ Fine, we’re going,”
Zander told him. “We just wanted to let you guys know that we are
eating in about ten minutes and then we are heading out. We were
headed to your room next.”
    “ We’ll be there.” I
marched over to the door and closed it in their faces.
    Once Drew and I were alone again he
pushed the covers back and finally got out of bed. “Sometimes
living with so many people is a real pain in the ass.”
    I nodded in agreement. “You better go
get ready, apparently we’re running late.”
    He grabbed his gun off the night
stand. “Someday we will get to lay in bed together and not have to
worry about all of this.”
    “ I know,” I whispered as
he opened the door and stepped out into the hall. “See you down
there.”
    He shut the door behind him and I
turned toward the bed, pulling up the covers and making it up like
it was before I’d gotten into it. His comment about someday not
having to worry about stuff like this had me wondering if he was
thinking about the same things as I had been earlier.
    Oh well, it wasn’t like we could worry
about that kind of stuff right now anyway. First things first … we
had to stop this damn apocalypse.
    Since I didn’t have time for yet
another shower, I hurried with my clothes and weapons, and then
headed down to the kitchen. I could skip the shower, but not the
food.
    Anthony had made a nice spread of
bacon, sausage, eggs, hash browns, toast and fresh fruit. There was
no way we could say that Anthony wasn’t being a perfect host,
eating at his place was like eating at a restaurant every
day.
    I entered the kitchen and received a
wink from Christina. Zander looked like he wanted to laugh at me.
Gavin set his angry glare on me and kept it there, no matter where
I moved in the room.
    Talk about uncomfortable. None of them
were doing this to Drew, why were they picking on me?
    Drew leaned over in his seat and
whispered, “Because you’re an easy target.”
    I furrowed my brow. “How did you know
I was thinking that?” I whispered.
    “ I know you.” He shoved a
piece of bacon in his mouth. “Ignore them, act like it doesn’t
bother you and
