Drucela opened her eyes and stared at the four strange men standing over her. A million questions ran through her mind. Who were they? Where was she? Were they going to hurt her? How did she get here? They must have sensed some fear because as she was staring back and forth between them the tall blonde one spoke.

"Don't be afraid. We won't hurt you." He said softly "You are one of us now."

"One of you?" she replied questioningly

"You see..... Matt found you in the street and you were badly wounded...almost near death. He looked at you and decided that he couldn't let you die so he brought you here to us. We gave you what you needed to survive and now you are like us." He smiled "Don't worry! You'll figure it out in time. I suppose I should introduce us all. My name is Edge. The short little shrimp in the corner is Christian. The man with about 1000 colors in his hair is Jeff and I think you know Matt."

At that moment a girl came down the stairs and headed straight for the couch that Drucela was on. This girl didn't look too pleased. Drucela decided that she was barely strong enough to hold her head up much less have a confrontation with the angry girlfriend of one of these men. The girl stopped just beside the one called Christian. Her eyes stayed on the couch in intense disbelief. Almost as if she wasn't believing what she was seeing.

"Ah, Gabrielle! Come and meet the newest member of our family."
