Jeremy parked his car at the address Veronica had ibingiay him. She was waiting for him outside.
“What are those signs?” Jeremy asked, pointing at the signs on the wall.
“They’re to keep ghosts out” Veronica explained.
“Ghosts?” Jeremy asked skeptic.
“Yeah, you know, dead people” Veronica said. “You can’t see the signs during the day, because it’s fluorescent paint”
“So, ghosts can’t enter” Jeremy sinabi slowly.
“Well, they can travel with mediums, but you’re not a medium” Veronica replied obviously. She squeezed her eyes and cast Jeremy an exploratory glance. “You’re not a medium,…are you?”
“No” Jeremy quickly sinabi with a nervous smile. Veronica examined him a few madami segundos and then opened the door. She walked in front of him. It was pretty dark, but she didn’t bother turning on the lights.
“So, tell me again, why you want to sumali us? Why would you want to kill all vampires, mga asong lobo and witches?” she asked.
“Because I’m human and they’re…abominations” Jeremy answered. “They don’t have the right to live. This is our earth, it’s time we take it back”
Veronica raised her eyebrows. “Have you been practicing that speech?”
“Yeah, Jeremy, have you been practicing that speech?” Jenna echoed.
“All right” Veronica said. “We train every single day, starting from 6 am sharp. Don’t be late”
“What about school?” Jeremy asked.
“If you worry about grades, you’re not ready for this” Veronica replied sharp.
“No, it’s just, my history teacher lives with me. He’ll notice I’m not there” Jeremy explained.
“Then, try being here whenever you can” Veronica sighed. “Oh, and don’t tell your sister. She might inform her friends”
Jeremy agreed. “Can I go now?” he asked a little nervous. He felt someone was watching him.
“Yeah, you can go” Veronica dismissed him.
Jeremy quickly left and dialed Damon’s phone.
“She’s alone now” was all he said.
