I dropped my stuff at the door and looked around. The room was on the second floor and it was pretty nice. It had tan tile flooring and white walls. The furniture was very basic but modern. It had the basics with the closet, a bed king sized bed, the dressers and a desk. All of them black. There were no paintings or pictures on the wall. My guess was so they could pack up in a hurry if they needed too without leaving anything behind. I peeked inside the bathroom and it was the same. The only difference was that the tile in the bathroom matched the floor. It looked beautiful. I looked back at my refection and saw a tired version of the kick ass warrior I saw in the mirror back at home. Home... I wonder if I will ever see it again. Tonight I have to face the man who has been plaguing my every thought. The mere thought of him was making my soul ache. Like a had a rock attached to my heart and it was being pulled down by gravity. *Beep Beep Beep* I looked down at my phone alarm and it was 5:30am, time for my dose of medicine. My stomach turned when I thought about the taste and the feeling that it gave me after. I begged my father when I was young to let me stop taking it. It burned my insides like I swallowed a curling iron and made my eyes hurt. Eventually the pain started to become bearable and now its just uncomfortable. It was supposed to be a deterrent for vampires and werewolves so we taste terrible if ever bitten. I reached down into my bag and pulled out a capsule. Dammit. I cracked open a bottle of water and swallowed the pill. It burned all the way down my throat. I hurried to wash my face and change my clothes into shorts and a T-Shirt. I preferred to lay down right after the medicine because of the uncomfortable feeling I had to endure. Daylight started to break outside and the sky started to turn red. I closed the black out curtains and laid in bed. Today is the day. I need to stop overthinking about the plan and how its going to end up. Everyone is going to be fine and alive. We will all be home by sunrise tomorrow morning and we can celebrate my 18th birthday. We will have a feast and have fun. It will all be fine. Sleep Max. The feeling of the pill subsided and I was finally able to sink into the mattress and sleep. *Beep Beep Beep* 10:45am. I looked down at my phone and jumped up. I had 15 minutes to get ready for our meeting with my team. Knock, knock, knock. My room door flew open and Jenna came in holding coffee in both hands. "Morning b***h! Figured you needed some hot bean juice before meeting everyone." She looked me over and sighed. "Of course you aren't ready yet, hurry and wash your face. I'll pick out your outfit." She set the coffee down and walked to my bag with clothes. I ran to the coffee and took a drink. I swear this girl would like an awesome barista if she had a normal life. My coffee had a hint of caramel in it with a dash Italian cream creamer in it for sweetness and vanilla foam. "I swear, you have a gift! Thank you!" I took my cup with me and took it to the bathroom. I got ready quickly and put my hair into a low braid. I saw Jenna peak in really quick and rush back out. I narrowed my eyes trying to figure out what she was up too. I did my usual small amount of make up so I looked natural with a few touch ups. "Yo, stop checking yourself out, you got less than 5 to meet everyone downstairs." I looked in the mirror and saw her looking at me over my shoulder. "Coffee was amazing. Thank you again!"  I slid by her and walked to my clothes. A black tank top with my tan cargo pants. I also had my boots to match. "Giving you some real Tomb Raider vibes today Princess, so rock the look okay?" She snickered and drank another sip of coffee. No wonder she peaked in on me. "You sneaky b***h!" I tossed my brush while laughing at her and she started to giggle. "Tick tock!" She laughed and went to touch up her own make up to give me privacy. I saw that her outfit was close to my own but she was wearing a olive green shirt and black cargo pants. I'm gonna get her back somehow. I double checked my self again in the mirror on the wall and nodded. "Alright, lets go downstairs." She nodded back in agreement.  When we arrived downstairs my team was already waiting for us. They all had coffee in their hands and were just talking amongst themselves. "Good morning everyone!" Samantha said in her high pitched voice. Her heels clicked behind her as she walked toward us. She was wearing a dark blue skin tight business suit that contrasted her red hair perfectly. If you can all meet me in the conference room down the hall, you will be meeting the team that will help you with the ambush that will happen tonight. They have been on surveillance this whole time and know the building inside and out. I must warn you though," She shifted her weight to her other foot and looked a bit uncomfortable," Jade is a bit intense. She is the leader of the team and likes plans to go HER way." I looked at Jenna and she looked back at me and we both smirked. Ron, Shelby and Axel's eyebrows rose and they all groaned. "Aww s**t. Samantha, just plan for this to shift to Princess Maxine's leadership. She hasn't dealt with the freakin Devil Twins over here." Ron sighed and took another sip of his coffee. Samantha looked at me again with terror now. The smirk was off my face and I turned it into a stone cold expression. I turned into the ruthless Warrior Princess who turns down no battle. "Samantha, dear, please lead us to the conference room please." Jenna said as politely as possible with her sweetest smile. "Well fuck." Samantha sighed under her breath and turned around and we all followed to meet this "intense" Jade.
