Warning: Fred's inner thoughts might be dark

Fred had pretty much had nothing but a shitty year. She was beyond ready to leave the place, but she was also trying to make sure that Desirea didn't get suspicious. That meant she would stay until graduation and then leave to fall into the trap that was being set for her. With any luck, the other vampire had not discovered that her hold had been severed, and the trap would actually be Fred's.

The biggest problem with the things that were on Fred's mind was the fact that it caused her to have an even worse temper than usual. She lashed out against Cheyenne simply because she had pretty much always hated the cocky little bitch. It could have just as easily have been Van; of course, to Van's credit he actually would've been able to take it and come back at Fred. She hated the asshole, but she at least respected the fact that he didn't run to the authority figures or cry about it when someone doesn't like him.

Fred ran through some calming exercises on her way to meet with Hallowfen. She had respected the teacher greatly for most of her school career, but this past year the teacher had been letting more and more slide as she was distracted with the little pet of hers. Still. Fred didn't want to bring any more attention to herself right now. This meant that she just needed to deal with it. Listen to the teacher talk about how she should be nicer even though that likely wouldn't have been an issue if it had been anyone but Hallowfen's pet on the receiving end of Fred's little lash out.

It wasn't until Fred had arrived at the door that she considered the possibility that the bitch would be in there too. She closed her eyes and willed her mind to stay at ease before she knocked on the door to let the professor know she was there.

Fred considered for a moment the words from her head of house. Of course, it was entirely possible she wouldn't live after the week she returned to her cousin. She supposed after that point, perhaps it would be better to just let that all die. With all of her family now essentially dead or turned, there really was no more keeping the family business going in the same way. Still. She didn't even know how much point there was in doing anything like that.

"What kind of graduates?" she asked, figuring that most likely she would learn that there were a number of weres and witches involved which would pretty much cement the idea that it wasn't for her.

"Within the FBI it really depends. Some prefer the so-called pencil pushing jobs, and they tend to be humans with psychic abilities of one sort or another. Field agents rant from vampires to fairies. So it really depends on what you want to do in the bureau as opposed to what's there.," Cressida explained, "I know weres ten to take on positions in the DEA or Marshals because it puts their tracking skills to use. FBI profilers are good at reading people, and they are usually vampires."

She paused, "But again, this is just what I know. Some make a career of it and others use it as a way to pass time before they decide to do something else. But they're taking a step forward toward soemthing instead of settling. You don't want to hear me say it, but I'm going to. If you go back to what you were doing before, you're settling. I don't know why and maybe you will just use it as interim but any desire for your future to be something worth looking forward to involves you working to make it that way.

"Otherwise the future will always be bleak and a giant question you'll never find an answer to."
