A pause descended upon them. Miss Lancaster was finally sitting up on the bed, catching her breath. Abby tried to figure out what Laura was reading. She'd never seen the journal before. She knew Laura wrote things, like her poems, but she kept them in a notebook.
"Whatcha reading?" she asked.
"Don't worry about it."
"Something dirty?" teased Abby. She raised herself in her seat, trying to get a peek at the pages. She saw a diagram for a flash, and then Laura slammed the book shut.
"Lucy, I need you to pack your bags."
"Are we going on a trip?" asked Miss Lancaster.
"You are." Laura stood up, carrying the journal away with her. "And Emma."
"Where?"
Laura turned to look at Abby. "I'll tell you later." She turned back to Miss Lancaster, helping her change out of her uniform. "Shouldn't be more than a week."
"Camille won't be happy with it. And how exactly am I supposed to get a vampire on a plane?"
