Autumn nodded. "I think they are," she said. "Derek hasn't come running all freaked out again yet, so that's what I'm basing it on." She sighed. "At least Logan and Derek are on better terms with each other. Less sibling rivalry..."
"Wait... I thought Logan was a vampire," Jasper said. "He has a brother?"

Elena nods. "Derek is only half-vampire, sort of. Luck of the genes draw. He can heal and teleport. Janelle is his girlfriend. Derek's, I mean. She's also sort of like a little sister to us all, because before she was sixteen, she was ten, and Julianna's sort-of adopted daughter, because they're both werelions. And then some future switch happened that we still haven't figured out, and Janelle was suddenly sixteen and couldn't remember what had happened between now and then. Though she has remembered some of it.. And some of it we all wish she hadn't."
Carrie looks utterly confused at this.

Autumn laughed at the confusion shining in Carrie and Jasper's faces. "I'll draw you guys a diagram or something. It's way easier that way," she said. "The easiest way would've been to experience it as we did, but whatever."
"Wait," Jasper said. "You're saying that this will get harder than it is right now? That there's more to this group?"
"No, I didn't-" Autumn gasped. "You read my mind!" Her face erupted in a smile. "You weren't even trying either."

Elena snaps her fingers in 'applause', like at a poetry jam, and says with a smile, "See? You're already on your way!"

Jasper laughed. "Great. Now I can add that to my list of freakish abilities."
"Aw, don't say it like that," Autumn said. "My list is way longer and I still fit in."

"Dude, you're far from freakish," Elena says. "Layali's a necromancer - she raises the dead. As in zombies. We've had people from other dimensions here. And Orpheus can bespell people with music. You're hardly an oddity among us."

"It also helps that I've got the same power," Autumn said. Jasper nodded, but wasn't completely convinced. "Uh-oh... Brace yourselves, guys."
"Autumn!" She heard from outside the room. She had to keep herself from giggling as Logan ran into the room, a hoodie working to cover his skin. "Where is it?"

Chaosti bit his lip to keep from laughing, looked down at Autumn, and said, "You didn't.."

Jasper looked utterly confused as Autumn tried to control herself. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
"You know exactly what I mean," Logan said, glaring daggers at her.
"Aw, did Linus lose his blankey?" Autumn taunted.

"You see, Logan, this is why you buy and hide extras," Elena says with a smile and a shake of her head.

"It's not a blankey," Logan hissed. "It's a cape. And for your information, Elena, she took my extras too."
Autumn couldn't contain herself anymore. She put her face in her hands and buried herself between Chaosti's shoulder and the couch to try to muffle her hysterical laughing. Jasper was trying to bite back his laughter as well, having read it from Autumn's mind.

Elena raised an eyebrow at that and said, "Tou-chy."
Carrie just looks confused again, not realizing that this is the 'Logan' they'd all mentioned earlier.

"Where did you put them, Autumn?" Logan said again. He unsheathed one of his swords and pointed it at her when she shook her head. "You will tell me."
"You know where they are," Autumn managed to say when she stopped laughing. "It's the same place as last time."

"Your name isn't Inigo Montoya, is it?" Carrie asked.
[Couldn't help it! Oh, and I watched the movie today - it seemed pretty crappy, especially compared to the book.. And I wanted to punch Vizzini in the face. Does he not know that you can say your lines WITHOUT YELLING THEM OH MY GOD.]

Logan turned his glare in her direction. "No. I don't even know who my father was."
Autumn once again covered her mouth to contain her laughter. That's Logan, she thought to Carrie. Oh, and this is Autumn talking... Sorry if I freaked you out.
((Yeah, I hate Vizzini... But I love Cary Elwes, so maybe I'm a little biased when it comes to the movie..))

Carrie jumped when she heard Autumn's voice in her head, then smiled sheepishly at her. Eyebrows furrowing, she concentrated hard in an attempt to speak back to Autumn - though she was probably inadvertently yelling on the mental airwaves. *Oh - the vampire guy you all were talking about?*

Autumn managed not to cringe at the yelling in her head. Yeah, that's the one, she thought. But you don't need to concentrate so hard to get your message across. Then she turned to Logan. "If you would have looked hard enough, you would have noticed that your capes are still in your trunk. Just about a foot to the right."

Chaosti couldn't help a little snicker and bit the inside of his lip to keep from laughing out loud.

Logan glared at Chaosti. "You knew, didn't you? She warned you she was going to do this." Autumn quickly shook her head. "No, Logan, he had nothing to-" Logan cut her off. "I want to hear it from him."

Chaosti shook his head and said, "Nope, I didn't know. I guessed when you came in, but I had no idea beforehand."
