Spending hours at a cemetary wasn't somewhere one would normally find an ordinary sixteen year old girl. However, Hayley Williams was no ordinary girl, she was magically delicious - almost literally. But that's something not to get into at the moment. Currently Hayley sat beside a single gravestone on which was etched Cassandra Williams-Deveraux, the young girl's late mother. Many times a year Hayley came to this very spot to see her mother, but never once had she come for this long. The young red-head had been laying beside the grave for hours now. Just laying and occasionally turning over to her side so she could speak to her mother. The young girl's words lifted around her, but they never received a response.

Hayley closed her eyes and listened to the sounds of the dark night, her mind wandering to places unimagined by mortals. Taking a deep breath Hayley thought of her life as it was so far. The images of her grandmother, sister, and father sprung into her head, but there was no image of a mother. This missing piece of her life was lying beside her six feet below the grass on which the girl current lay. Her entire childhood had been buried with her mother, all that remained was her upcoming adulthood as a magical being - a witch-like being.

A sound behind her startled Hayley out of her reverie, bringing her senses back to her current environment and the danger this cemetary might hide. Sitting up she turned her head to see around her, her short red hair brushing against her bare shoulders. A shiver crept up her back and ended at the nape of her neck as her eyes strained to see beyond the shadows surrounding her. There was something there, she was sure of it.

Vanessa had stumbled across the cemetery yesterday. She walked through it and found this amazing tree and had taken pictures of it. She decided maybe she could go there and clear her head. She looked at all the gravestones. The ones that had been vandalized made her shake her head.

People these days she said in her head as she kept walking. She found one where the plants were knocked over. she bent down and cleaned it up she looked at the gravestone. It read "Jessica Lasyie beloved daughter and sister 1988-2000" pushing her brows together she sighed before standing back up.

Once she did she felt someone close to her. One thing about her powers that she loved was that she able to sense someone of power near her. It was another reason why she left school when she did. She didn't know if it was either her sisters or something else. The power sensing usually gave her a headache if she was stuck in one place with a several people.

Hayley looked down at the moon charm around her neck, it sat still and the cool metal touched her neck without any sign of warning. Strange. She thought as she stood up and walked toward the direction she thought the source of the sound was coming from. Then it hit her, like a strong brick smashing against her temple - a Daughter. She knew someone was in the cemetary with her, and that someone wasn't dangerous, but their presence was strong enough to alert her, it must be another Daughter.

"Liv? Serena? Ness? Em?" She called out, wondering which of the Daughters were out here. Why were they out here? At least she had a reason to be out in the cemetary at night.

"You know if it was this easy to get a jump on you wants stopping from I dunno a bad guy?" Vanessa said as she hung upside down by a tree branch in front of Hayley. Clearly scaring Hayley out of her wits on purpose. Vanessa enjoyed playing around with Hayley she treated her more like a little sister compared to the other girls. Emily was treated more like a big sister."I mean think about it Hales" grinning levitated back down to her earth unhooking her legs in the process. "So I guess I'm not the only one that likes midnight walks in the graveyard. You know if people knew about this they might think your a little weird" brushing her shoulders off a little she smiled.

Hayley stopped suddenly as Vanessa literally 'popped' out of the tree the red head was standing by. "Holy shit, Ness." She gasped, taking a step backwards as her fellow Daughter got out of the tree and stood in front of her. "What's wrong with you?" She asked, folding her arms over her chest, feeling the beating of her heart begin to slow down. "And I'm pretty sure if someone tried to jump me I could take care of them." She assured her friend. Hayley wasn't the sort of person to get into fights, but if she needed to, she would.

Tucking a piece of red hair behind her ear and out of her face, Hayley looked down at the ground as Vanessa spoke about her reasoning of being in the graveyard at such an hour. "I was visiting my mom." She said. It was still a touchy subject for the teen, since her mother had died to unexpectantly and with no cause. There had been times that Hayley had blamed herself for her mother's death and she often beat herself up for it too.

"Nothings wrong with me, I just enjoy scaring the hell out of you" she said with a smirk before walking over to a gravestone and hopping on top of it. Crossing her legs she leaned back a little hearing Hayley mention about visiting her mom Vanessa mentally kicked herself. "Sorry H if I'd of known..." flashing the younger girl a small look she shook her head. "Ahem anyways" she said before clapping her hands together. "School going alright?" Vanessa said trying to change the subject of Hayley's mother. Vanessa knew it was a touchy subject with Hayley. The last thing Nessa wanted was to pour salt on very opened wounds.

Hayley knew the other Daughters hated bringing her mother up, but to tell you the truth, Hayley had been doing quite well with getting over the loss. She was a naturally happy and smiley person, but two or three times a week the teenager came to this very cemetary to speak to her mother. "It's okay, Ness." She said, following her friend to the gravestone. If she had been Serena, she would have scolded Vanessa for sitting on the piece of stone, but she wasn't and she didn't.

"School's alright," She said. Actually, Hayley didn't mind school. She got good grades and had quite a few friends outside of the Daughters. The kids at Spencer seemed to like her, so she had no reason to hate the place. "But then again, you wouldn't know, would you." Hayley, along with the other Daughters tried to get Vanessa to go to school more than she already did, but the only one that seemed to take it to the next level was Serena, and that didn't always turn out good.

"Hey, I go to school just not every day of the week. Girls gotta practice her skills you know" she said with a smirk before turning her head and looking at where her bag was. Her eyes flashed like fire before the bag lifted from the ground and came to her. Taking the bag by its handle she turned her head and looked at Hayley. "See you should see what I can do with my eyes not open" she said with a grin before going through her bag and grabbing two sodas. "Want one?" she said with a raised brow in Hayley direction.

Vanessa knew that using her powers so openly wasn't great idea. Since if anyone saw her using outside of their group it would mean exposer for all of them. The last thing Vanessa wanted was any of the girls becoming lab rats because of her. Just the thought of Hayley or Emily locked away in some government building made her blood boil.

"That's not enough, Nessie." Hayley said, sitting on the dewy grass next to the gravestone that her friend was occupying. However, before Vanessa could reply Hayley noticed her eyes become shaded over and her bag drift toward the two girls mystically. That was one of their abilities, Telekinesis. All of the Daughters posessed that power, but only Vanessa used it for almost every small action. Heck, she probably tied her shoes by using.

As Ness pulled out a soda Hayley took it gratefully and took a sip, letting the cold beverage flow to her stomache. "Ness, I hate to be like Ms. Killingsworth, but you won't graduate if you don't attend classes. We love you too much to see you fail."

"Ness, I hate to be like Ms. Killingsworth, but you won't graduate if you don't attend classes. We love you too much to see you fail."

"My grades are fine even if I don't go to school every day of the week. Plus I've been uh..."stopping her self short she looked down. "Having really intense headaches the past couple of weeks and its not because of you guys. I don't what they hell they are..but its like.. when ever I'm in school my head feels like it gonna blow" chewing her bottom lip she took a tiny sip of her soda.

"Besides the headaches I think its another reason why I've been using A LOT more then usually do" Vanessa was pretty careless when it came to her powers. But she always made sure not to use in public."I dunno, maybe its because I'm ascending in a couple of months" she said with a shrug while looking down at the stone under her. "I haven't told Serena or Emily about the headaches" she said flashing Hayley a tiny glance.

"Well, maybe you're getting the headaches from using." She suggested, "And don't worry, I won't tell them." She said, catching the hint in Vanessa's eyes when she said this to Hayley. "But ya'know, I've been wanting to use more, that Jasmine girl..." Hayley paused, balling one fist and play-punching the palm of her other hand, "I can't stand her." The red-head didn't want to add the reason, for she thought that Vanessa either already knew, or wouldn't want to know. The reason, you ask? Reid Garwin.

Hayley liked him, Jasmine liked him. Simple as that. What right-minded girl allowed another girl to move in on your ex-boyfriend-whom-you-still-loved?

"Well, maybe you're getting the headaches from using. And don't worry, I won't tell them."

"The thing is the usually happen when I'm not using" down casting her eyes she sighed. "It just doesn't make any sense, you heard about the dead kid they found at The Dells right?" she said with a raised brow. "The day of the party I got this really bad headache" raising a hand she brushed back some her dark brunette hair. "I just have this feeling like..something bad is gonna happen or something" she said with a tiny shrug before taking a sip of her soda. "Maybe its Serena getting at me or something" she said with a small smile before lifting her head and looking at the stars above her.

"But ya'know, I've been wanting to use more, that Jasmine girl. I can't stand her."

"Is it because of the Ipswich Son?" she said with a grin. Vanessa knew that Reid and Hayley had dated and from what she could tell it was pretty serious before they broke up. "I'm sure Reid knows that your still in love with him so I wouldn't worry" smiling she turned her head and looked at her. "Plus if she tries anything I'll just send the bitch to Canada or something" nodding she let out a small laugh.

"Eh, I guess you're right." Hayley said, taking a sip of her drink and sighing louder than necessary. "Yeah, I've heard the kid was murdered, you don't think it was abnormal do you?" She asked Vanessa, stressing on the word. The thoughts of one of the Daughters murdering someone had lingered in her mind since Reid had told her about the death in the Dells. Still she denied the fact that it could be caused by magic or that any of the daughters would kill someone.

"Yeah, I've heard the kid was murdered, you don't think it was abnormal do you?"

"We could check it out" she said turning her head and looking at her. "You know break in to the police station and read over the files" grinning she brought up her legs and crossed them. The tomb stone was large enough for her to do so. "But Serena can't know about it" Nessa could already hear Serena arguing with her and it was the last thing Nessa wanted to go though. She already goes through Serena lecturing half of the time who needs another ten hours. "I mean if you wanna Hayley I could go by myself" she said with a nod.

"And me miss all the fun? I think not." Hayley smiled and stood up, brushing herself off. "So how're we gunna do this, Ness?" She asked, her adrenaline already pumping at the thought of doing something out of her limits. No worries crossed her mind, for if anything went wrong, they could always use their powers - right?

[Sorry, muse = dead.]

"And me miss all the fun? I think not. So how're we gunna do this, Ness?"

"That's my girl" letting out a tiny laugh she hopped off of the tomb stone and grinned. "Well will wait for dark and well make a little phone call to get the cops out of the building" giving her younger sister a small nod she stuffed her hands into her hoody. "When its all clear will go in, find the file room and read up on the dead kid. Shouldn't hard at least if we don't get caught in the process" Vanessa said with a tiny smile. "Well lets get going shall we" grabbing her backpack she made her way out of the cemetery with Hayley in tow.

Hayley nodded, her mind filling with hopeful images of she and Vanessa finding out about the murdered teenager. As she followed Vanessa out of the cemetary the red head grasped the silver moon charm around her neck, wondering what her life would be like if she had been born somewhere else.
