When I woke up the next day, Natalia was already gone for breakfast, but she had taped a map to the door. I changed back into my dress from the day before and headed for the door but, before I left, I noticed a red suitcase under Natalia's bed.
I managed to stop myself from opening it. For about two seconds. I ran over to the bed and yanked the suitcase onto Nat's bunk. A quick inspection of it's contents revealed black clothes, red shoes, makeup, a Kindle, and at the very bottom of the suitcase, a note. Here's what it said:
"Dear Natalia,
These clothes, shoes, and Kindle are special. If you have to spend your whole life at the LLIK, at least you'll have your own clothes, your own shoes, and some entertainment. The clothes and shoes will grow with you, so they'll always be the right size, and the Kindle can download any book for free and without internet so you can read whatever, whenever. I'll come get you some day, I swear. I won't let you spend forever in that horrible place.
Love you,
Dad"
After reading the note, I shoved it in my pillowcase to figure out later. Then, I put everything else from the suitcase back perfectly and headed to breakfast, wanting to talk to her about Simone and missions.
After a few minutes of small talk with Natalia, Melanie, Simone, and Celine (who jumped in with a comment sometimes), I decided to get directly to the point.
"Simone," I said cautiously. "What's your name as a one-namer?"
She stiffened. "Shifter. Why?"
"Just wondering. Mine's Frosty. I was just wondering if you could explain to me what we do on missions."
I knew before I even finished my sentence that she wouldn't reply. She was holding her hands over her ears and muttering to herself, her words growing in volume.
"No. No. They already have me. Isn't that enough? No. Those guys are monsters! They're murderers! The screams.... GET THEM OUT OF MY HEAD!!!"
       After her rant, she ran off holding her head and screaming "No! Why me!"
       Soon after she left, Natalia finished her food and headed back to our room. I followed her after a few minutes of eating in awkward silence with Melanie and Celine.
       I was nearly to my room when an angry - scratch that - a murderous voice bellowed down the hall coming, unmistakably, from my room:
       "BELLA!! WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!"
       So, a fellow one-namer screaming and freaking out at the mention of missions, and a murderous vampire roommate. Best morning ever.
