Pulse

^Pulse Two^

Hey, heard you're in town. Wanna head out for a night in the city? (;

It was my best friend from high school, Reagan. Instantly I texted her a definite yes before getting in the shower. Once I got out I packed a bag full of short dresses and stilettos before throwing on pajamas. I walked downstairs my parents talking at the table a glass of wine situated in both of their hands.

"Hey, I'm heading to Reagan's. I'll see you later" I kissed both of their heads before making my way out the door grabbing my car keys on the way.

It was a short drive to Reagans house and I saw that her parents were out. They worked a lot and usually weren't home, one of the main reasons Reagan was as wild as she was. She gave me a long hug once I walked through the door before pulling me up into her room to get ready to go.

Surprisingly I picked a shorter dress to wear than her but I was eager to go out and not have a care in the world.

"Hey Pulse is having a drink special tonight if we want to go there?" Reagan trailed off throwing her long red hair up in a pony tail.

"Sure sounds great" and that was all it took before we were soon walking into the club doors of Pulse. The music was loud and I could already feel myself getting a headache. Reagan was already 21 so she went to get us some drinks.

"Hey you want a drink?" asked a voice behind me. I turned around and came faced to face with a red dress shirt. I brought my eyes higher and was met with bright blue eyes. My heart jumped in my chest as I looked at one of the most beautiful creatures ever. "Is that a yes..." he trailed off as I came to my senses.

"Uh no thanks I don't take drinks from strangers" A smile lit up his face.

"Pretty and smart" he smirked taking a sip from the drink he offered me. "I was actually finding a way to talk to you but the drink thing was the only thing I could think of. I'm Elijah, but you can call me Eli" I melted right then and there.

"Novella, but everybody calls me Nola" I said sticking my hand out in a lame attempt at an introduction.

"Do you want to dance Nola?" he asked. I looked over to the bar a Reagan and saw her staring intently at me. Once she realised I was looking she shot me a thumbs up. I nodded my head and took his hand as we made his way to the dance floor. His hands brushed against my hip occasionally as we danced my back grinding on his front, before he gained courage and held more tightly to my hip. He paused as he grabbed the scar and turned me around to face me.

"What happened?" he asked talking about the intents he could feel on my hip.

"Its a funny story actually" I laughed nervously. "I actually got bit by a wolf a couple years ago, right on the hip" he nodded his head before moving away from me slightly.

"Hey I have to go but thank you for dancing with me" he said before walking away suddenly. I looked at his retreating back giving it a confused look before making my way to Reagan. She was talking to a boy next to her taking shots with him and laughing.

"Reagan" I said coming up to her side. "I'm not feeling the whole party thing tonight so I'm going to call a cab and go home is that fine with you?" she looked at me and pouted.

"If you really aren't feeling it I understand" she said. "I'll be fine getting home alone, I'll call if I need anything." I was uncertain of leaving her alone but she goes out alone all the time so I trusted her to get home just fine. I walked out of the bar making my way to the curb to call a cab.

While I was waiting for a cab I heard a crash from the alleyway and then a loud whine which sounded like it came from a dog. whimpers of pain soon followed and I hesitantly looked at the alleyway entrance. It was pitch black and I looked around for any signs of other people. The only people that were around were on the other side of the club walking away towards a bus station.
