"Please. I could guess in my sleep what she's gonna get me." June replied with a smile as she turned to Den and said, "Is this why you look like you're going to murder someone?"
Den shrugged and said, as he began to walk towards the room where they had left Simon and McCartney. "I could never bear to be around them." "I know, you never could! Remember one time when someone said that you and Ella looked good together amd you asked if he had replaced his eyes with marbles?!" June replied with a chuckle as she and Allen fell in step with him.
Den chuckled, also remembering as Allen said, "Yeah, they're hard to be around. That's why I love shortcake. She's so easy to be around and makes everything so much more fun!!"
June agreed with a smile as Den frowned upon the realisation of how true that really was. McCartney liked to get in trouble, would give you a headache and taking care of her was like having a child, but she somehow was very easy to be around.
"And I just cannot deal with how everyone keeps asking me why I walk at human speed." Allen whined as they reached the door. "I mean yeah, it's because I live among humans, but no! It's not because I used to be a human and cannot shake a habit!! What the . . . " he said as the three of them entered the room.
"Where is Stella? Are you sure she was here?" June asked, looking around.
"Yes June. I'm sure I left her in this room, with Simon
Not likely to get rooms mixed up." Den snapped at her before going to check the bathroom.
"I'm sure she's around somewhere. Maybe she went to the bathroom." Allen said, "And Simon met someone he knew." he added.
But Den's face as he returned from the bathroom made it clear that Stella was not in there. "Ok. I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation. She probably got bored and went to roam around the mansion. And took Simon with her." Allen spoke, getting more worried by the second.
Den completely ignored him as he pulled out his phone and dialled a number. "She's not picking up!" he groaned, looking at them. "Let me try." Allen said, pulling out his phone. "I'll call Simon." June said, putting her phone to her ears.
But when neither Simon not Stella picked up the calls, Den's face darkened. "This was a mistake." he muttered before running out of the room.
"Come on." June said to Allen and the two followed him.
"I'm such an idiot. Aghhh!! How could I believe her?! Not go anywhere without me or June. Huh? She makes promises just to break them." Den muttered to himself as they went from room to room, looking for Stella and Simon.
Den had always been stronger and faster than most of them, and Allen was a manipulator, so he very soon started to lag behind. Den paid him no mind but June lagged behind with him.
"Isn't he over-reacting a bit?" Allen whispered when Den was out of earshot. "Over-reacting?!?" June exclaimed, as she stopped in her tracks.
She placed her hands on Allen's shoulders and said, emphasizing every word, "Allen, I'm not sure you realise how much danger Stella is in right now. She is in a mansion full of vampires."
