Ugly Living

I go to work as a nanny for a family that lives in a cramped old Victorian. The kids are cute and nice. I feel out of place. The parents aren't likable. After a few days I uncover some things that I don't like. Later, I'm connected to an outside group. They are vampires and children (teens) and determined to get into the house, retrieve something or enact revenge. I am wary of them too but eventually I try and help them, realize I'm more one of them than anything else. They each have strange powers. I'm connected to one of them, our magic is mirrored. One of them dies. Time shifts a lot. Sometimes it's rewound and the story continues on differently. Other times we dee a flash of a person we know, who had a story before this one. There is a whole scene with homeless kids. They sleep in the doorway, between one set of doors and the next. A girl has a hello kitty jug. I compliment it. I feel connected to them too. Inside the house I try and find a way to get them what they want without people dying or getting hurt.
