Ch. 20 *Happy Birthday Star!*

His eyes locked entirely on me.

"Hello kids," I approach Luna and Marko. "Mind if I steal her for moment?"
Luna has been running around to different spots of the boardwalk the whole time we've been here, what's on her mind, I wonder.

Luna's eyes shape into a small glare, and Marko glances between me and her.
Soon, Marko takes slow steps back, eyes not leaving Luna.

Do I sense some feelings going on?
He doesn't stand a chance.
She'd never like him, or any of us for that matter.
Poor boy, he shouldn't torture himself like that.

When Marko is gone, I turn towards Luna, hands in my pockets.
"What's up?" She asks, impatient in her tone.
"You've been busy," I point out, "what have you been doing tonight"

She licks her lips before pursing them.
It's kind of cute, honestly.
"I've been making birthday preparations."

Birthday?

"Yeah?" I cross my arms, "and for who?"
"For Star," she says, "it's her 21st birthday tomorrow."
"Technically, she isn't turning 21," I point out, giving her the 'We're vampires,' look.

She sighs, annoyed at my two cents.
Star's birthday, huh?
Interesting.

I stare at her in silence for a moment. She wants something, I see it in her eyes, but she's too shy to ask.
"Anything you need?" I finally ask.

She nods. "Yeah um, can we throw the birthday at the cave?"
"Of course," I smile, "I wouldn't want it any other way."
"Thanks," Luna says, before her eyes fall on Paul whose trailing behind a tall blonde chick.

"I'll see you later," she waves, taking off after him.
I stand there.
We haven't done a birthday in years. What harm could it do?

Beside, the more I show that I'm kind to Luna, the closer I get to Star giving in to the Mating Bond.
I turn on my heel and go to my bike.

The only missing piece of the puzzle is Michael.
Star needs to kill him, but she's fighting against her inner vampire taking over her.

I wish she'd stop being so stubborn and accept it.
Suddenly, an idea hits me.
I know the perfect gift to give her.
A certain gift that'll show her that I'm not giving up.

*Star's birthday*

"Paul! You're doing it wrong!" I sigh, rushing over and grabbing the decorations out of his hand that he keeps screwing up on. "Let me do it."
"Okay okay! Jesus, you're high strung," Paul jumps off the broken fountain, grumbling under his breath as a stoic Dwayne walks past him to me.

I sigh, untangling the mess Paul made.
How he managed to do that in thirty seconds, I have no idea.
"Need any help?" Dwayne peeks over my shoulder at my busy hands.

I shake my head. "No thanks. How is everything over there?"
"It's all set," he says, putting paper stars that I made the guys make around the broken fountain. "When is the birthday girl coming?"

"Soon," I reply as I lower my foot to get off.
Dwayne helps me down.
"Thanks," I brush my skirt off, exhaling. "Alright, everything looks pretty good. Great job."
