Elektra
I got into Jared's black Lamborghini ready to face Scott and whatever he had planned tonight. Olivia sat in the back seat with Matt while I sat in the front next to Jared. He gazed at me and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
"Jared wipe the drool off your face," I said giving him a sinister grin and Olivia sighed in the back seat while he gave me a wink and started the car. "Alright, we all ready? " I said, sticking my thumb up. Olivia rolled her eyes at me then Jared honked the car horn.
"Let's party!!! " He yelled and we burst out laughing. Fates go easy on me tonight.
Jared kept playing all these nightclub songs as we drove to Scott's place so by the time we got to his gates we were all pumped up. So we got through his open gates and his house....... is a fucking Mansion!!!!!!! It makes the white house look minuscule. Big windows, two storeys high and a huge front yard with a fountain and a beautiful garden where teenagers were heading for the ridiculously huge doors.
"He lives in a castle!" I yelled and everyone cracked up laughing at my reaction.
"You've never seen his house? " Olivia asked astonished. I got out of the car and looked and watched as Olivia got out with Matt.
"Well what do think!!?" I said placing my hands on my hips and looking at his house in awe. Olivia rolled her eyes at me and then linked her arm with mine.
"Hey, where's Claire?" She asked. Damn it!!!
"I knew I forgot something!" I joked and Olivia scoffed.
We walked in through his large glass doors and I was left breathless. His house is impressive inside and out. "I think I'm going to cry," I whined and Olivia elbowed me and I bumped my hip against hers so she nearly fell. She glared at me playfully then we kept walking. I admired his paintings and expensive white furniture. Then I noticed Scott standing around watching me, his blond hair slicked back, white long-sleeve shirt and a pair of designer jeans. He looks handsome... to every other dumb girl in the room. "I'm going to follow the sound of the music so have fun with Matt." I winked at her and then walked towards the sound of punk rock music playing loudly. Already I'm in the mood to start dancing, I soon saw Cole on the other side of the room looking in my direction. I smiled and he smiled back but his smile soon vanished. It looks like he's glaring at something behind me. So I looked and there was Jared smiling gently at me.
"So gorgeous shall we dance? " He said casually but you could see the pleading in his eyes.
"Yeah, why not? " I grabbed his arm and dragged him to the dance floor. Once we were in the very middle and I let go he looked at me surprised at my strength but shook it and we danced. I waved my arms in the air and shook my head around then I noticed Cole talking.
"Hey, Luke! Yeah, she's here." He said talking into his phone. Omgs he is coming!
"Hey, I'm going to get a drink! " I yelled over the music and left Jared on the dance floor striding to the buffet. Meow look at all this food! I picked up a can of Coke and leaned back against the wall. He's coming! I searched around the crowded room. I don't see him and there are too many smells in this room to find his scent. I'll have to listen to this blaring music. I closed my eyes and listened to every conversation in the room.
"Did you see Scott in those jeans oh my God what a hottie! " I heard a girl say. EWWW!
"Look she's just standing there with her eyes closed."
"What weirdo." I sighed at that comment. Small-minded mortals. I kept listening to other people's voices until I heard the one I wanted and my heart literally skipped a beat.
"Hey, where is she now? " He asked someone.
"Dude she's right over there." I heard Cole say.
"Alright... Hey, do I look OK?" I started giggling. Aww, he's a cutie. I felt a presence next to me and not one I was expecting for the rest of the night. What does Scott want now?
"What's so funny?" He asked trying to sound seductive and tried to caress my arm with his hands. I flinched away and gave him my death stare. He smirked showing off his blinding white teeth and I'm so ready to smack some of them out.
"Just remembering the first time I met you. I thought of you as just plain annoying..." I paused. "Boy, I was wrong." He grinned at me taking what I said as a compliment.
"Oh." He said "What do you think of me now? " This time I grinned back at him ready to let it all out but maybe it isn't such a good idea...
"Believe me you don't want to know." Then I heard a group of his friends talking not too far from where we were standing.
" He might as well give up now she hates his guts." One said.
"Scott's not one to back out from a bet."
So that's why he's talking to me. Do I want to know what the bet is? Curiosity did kill the cat.
But satisfaction revived it.
"Scott, what do you want? " I asked annoyed, I could feel Luke's eyes piercing into Scott but he was too thick-headed to notice. Then Scott leaned in towards my face. No way!!! Not in a million years!!! I turned my head so he kissed my cheek. EWW contaminated!!!!
When he removed his mouth from my cheek not only did I hear Luke growling but I got an idea. I touched his shoulder and felt his heartbeat quicken. "Come with me let's go somewhere more private." It took a lot of me to hold myself back from throwing up. Me saying this to Scott! YUK! I took hold of his hand and led him outside. Before I left the room however I looked at a very mad Luke and gave him a wink. Then I dragged Scott outside. Which had a huge clean pool with tons of people surrounding it.
"Let's head up to my room." He whispered in my ear. I can't believe I'm doing this. I have to keep the grin off my face.
"No, I have a better place." I led him deep into the woods. It's so dark I need my night vision to see.
"Uh... here is your better place? " He asked sounding worried. Perfect.
"Yes it is... You're not having second thoughts are you?" I asked innocently while sliding my hands up his shirt. That got him into it.
"No way." He grabbed my waist and pushed himself against me. He went for my mouth but I moved my head so he started kissing along my neck.
"Scott, what's gonna happen if we do this? Are we going to be together?" I asked.
"Yes of course." He said at my neck. Lie.
"Hold hands when we walk down the hallways?"
"Yes." Lie.
"Never cheat on me?"
"Never." Lie.
He went for the zipper on my dress.
"No... fleas before beauty," I said and he chuckled while unbuttoning his shirt. He took off everything and came at me. But I jumped to the side and picked up his clothes.
"Hey, where are you? I... I can't see!" He yelled sounding angry.
"You're so gullible," I whispered then ran through the trees. I burst out laughing as soon as I reached the backyard. I saw Luke and Olivia standing next to each other talking then Olivia saw me and ran at me furious with Luke following but he soon ran faster than her. She noticed the bundle of clothes in my arms and slapped her hand over her mouth. Hahahahaha!!!
"Elektra those aren't what I think..." She stumbled and I waved his boxer shorts in the air.
"Including his undies." I giggled and Olivia burst out laughing. Luke walked towards me looking sexy in his black shirt and black jeans and looked curiously at the clothes then a smile played at his lips. Olivia fell to the ground laughing. I waved around his blue boxer shorts.
"The birthday boy is in his birthday suit." Olivia was laughing so hard she looked like she was having an asthma attack. "Now if you don't mind I'm going home to scrub my hands and my neck. I've had enough fun for one night." Olivia finally stood up a little more calm but the smile was still plastered on her face.
"I'm staying I have to see what happens to Scott." She said then turned to Luke who looked at me still trying to hold back his smile. "Why doesn't Luke take you home? " She said innocently but I rolled my eyes at her.
"I'm sure Luke would rather party than..."
"It's OK I don't mind." He quickly said before I could finish. I'll admit I'm thrilled but also guilty.
"No Luke I can't ask..."
"I'll just get my jacket." He said then turned and walked off. I sighed but Olivia was staring at me amazed. Oh, come on! I shooed her away and then headed inside. I feel so happy right now.

Luke
After what happened at the club I'm surprised she's even looking in my direction. I can't believe I'm giving her a ride and yet here we are walking to my car. This time it's not my beat-up old van. When I came the next day to get it, it was completely demolished. I unlocked the car and she placed the clothes in the backseat. I can't believe she left him naked in the woods. What a girl! I opened the door and watched her sit herself down showing a lot of legs. I can sense she is nervous and it pains me to say this so am I. I sat in the driver's seat and put the key in the ignition.
"Luke um..." She's so cute when she's nervous. "I've spoiled your night you came to Scott's party to well... party. You really don't have to do this." I sighed smiling at her.
"Don't worry I wasn't really having fun in there anyway. I'd rather spend my night with intelligent people not drunk people." I started smirking while she laughed. May I say her laugh was music to my ears?
"Aww you think I'm intelligent," She said sweetly then pulled on a serious face. "You really don't know me." She said but I could see the amusement in her eyes.
"Well, how about we get to know each other at say... McDonald's over some burgers?" I smirked at her. She pretended to think about it but I already knew the answer.
"Yes, I would not mind that."

We sat at a table that was next to a window that showed the playground. With a cheeseburger meal for her and a large quarter pounder for me.
"OK first of all how old are you? " She asked.
"18."
"17, birthday?"
"June 29th."
"November 5th." Before she went on I interrupted.
"Only 2 months away."
"Yeah, it is." She said seeming a little upset then she smiled again."Favourite colour?" How many questions is she going to ask?
"Black." I simply said and she chuckled a little. What's so funny?
"That's a shade and before you ask mine is purple." I nodded smiling then I noticed some guy looking at us from the corner of the room. Blond hair, creepy blue eyes. Hang on he's looking at Elektra. Grrr... I looked back at her and moved my seat closer to the table so my face was closer to hers. I ignored the guy and now that I think about it I'm curious about her owl.
"Do you have any pets? " I asked and she smiled at me. My heart felt warm when she smiled at me like that.
"No none." She said. What? Yes, you do! But she's not lying her heartbeat hasn't risen. "My owl doesn't like to be called a pet."
"Oh, you have an owl." I tried to act surprised but failed miserably.
"She's a friend, not a pet." She gets mad when she is treated like an animal." I'm not surprised. She started blushing. "I'm sorry that's so weird." She said and I laughed.
"No, I don't think so." She calmed a little but she looked as if she was on edge.
"OK, so what about you?" She asked.
"Nope no pets, but please tell me more about this owl." I need to know about it. It led me to her and pecked my nose. I saw the blond boy laugh. Elektra stiffened and turned on her seat to see him but he disappeared in thin air. What the hell?
"So what school do you go to? " She asked ignoring what I said. Oh well.
"I was home-schooled, you go to the same school as Cole," I said and she finally turned to face me again with a look of confusion on her pretty face.
"Cole... oh yeah he's in your band." She said starting to smile again. I nodded. "You're an amazing musician." She said sweetly, I laid back in my chair and crossed my arms over my chest.
"I know." I joked. She scoffed then she scrunched up a napkin. I didn't know what she was thinking of doing then all if she threw it at my face. I should have seen that coming.
"Amazing musician but not a very good singer." She said lifting her head up high and giving me a devilish grin. Why that little... I leaned in towards her so my face was inches away from hers. Her heart beat raised and she took a quick breath. That was the reaction I was looking for.
"Oh really?" I challenged. She huffed and smiled up at me.
"Alright, you're an amazing singer too happy? " She said pretending to sound bored. I laughed.
"Very!" I said proudly and she rolled her eyes at me leaning back in her chair.
"Oh if I had another napkin." She mumbled and I cracked up banging the table.
"Alright hobbies?" I said seriously. She placed her hands in her lap while biting her lip.
"Come on do you play sport? an instrument... an artist maybe? " She rolled her eyes and shook her head and laughed at herself. I don't see anything funny.
"I guess I'm an artist, actually no I just doodle in books." Yeah right!! I scoffed and she looked at me strangely but I swear there's a hint of amusement in her eyes. "But I am proud to say that I am quite the dancer." She said doing a little wave with her hands in the air. I didn't know she danced.
"Wow, you're a dancer? Didn't expect that." I said that before I realised what I'd said. She giggled at me.
"Yeah, I get that reaction a lot."
"You'll have to show me sometime." I winked at her and she gave an exasperated sigh.
"Just look on my Facebook wall." She said. I shall, I must see how she dances.

Elektra
As he drove me home I turned the radio on and started to sing to Pitball's songs soon enough we were both singing and laughing and learning more about each other. I love his company he makes me feel safe and well I'm starting to grow more feelings for him. I was extremely disappointed when we finally came to my house. It's funny how he pretended not to know where I lived and how I gave him directions.
I stepped out of the car and waved to him goodbye but he jumped out of the car and stood beside me.
"I'll walk you to your door." He said I couldn't help but smile foolishly as we walked across my yard.
"Well this was way more fun then Scott's party." I paused. "I wonder how Scott is..." I said waving Scott's undies in the air. We burst out laughing until we reached my door. I turned to face him.
"I hope to see you sometime." I said so he smirked at me. He is the only guy on the planet who can get away with that smile.
"Well you have my number we'll catch up." I saw the hope in his eyes and I couldn't contain the smile that spread across my face. But then I saw Claire standing a few metres behind him. Shit! No go away! "You OK Elektra?" Luke asked turning around but Claire disappeared before he turned. Oh no where did she go!!?
"I'm uh... expecting someone..." I stammered and he looked at me raising an eyebrow. I looked around him at the yard, she better not embarrass me.
"This someone usually comes this late at night ?" He questioned. I looked back at him and surprisingly he didn't look surprised in fact he's smiling. Aww he thinks I'm watching out for the wolf. FYI him.
"It's not what you think ." I started giggling.
"And what do I think?" He's teasing me!! I rolled my eyes and yawned.
"I don't know it's your brain you should know." I joked while I opened the door he turned to head off but I don't want him to go. "Hey do want something to drink or? " I said not bothering to finish the question because he sighed.
"No, I better head home besides you're expecting someone." He smiled sweetly, moved his face closer to mine and gave me a peck on the cheek. "Goodbye Elektra." I admired his gold eyes as he pulled away. I could melt at his gaze.
"You know you have the most incredible eyes... they're so familiar." I teased and I could sense his excitement. "See you soon."
"Sooner than you think." He said then he walked back to his car. I closed the door behind me as I came in and slid to the floor feeling light-headed. My cheek is feeling warm and it's tingling.
"Omgs Elektra he kissed your cheek!! " I heard Claire scream outside my door. Then she appeared in front of me. "But if you really want to impress him try this orange dress." Ugh! She manifested a mini glittering dress that is of course orange. I grew out my claws and slashed at it causing it to rip in half.
"Fine then but don't be surprised when he sees me and forgets about you." I burst out laughing. To her, the guys that run away are the ones that are obsessed with her. Clearly, that's not how life works and I have tried telling her but she only hears what she wants.
"Claire leave before I get my purple make-up." I threatened and she screamed then disappeared leaving her burnt orange stench behind. What a way to spoil a great night. With all this excitement built in me, I have to go out and do something otherwise I will never fall asleep tonight. I think it's time for a midnight hunt.

Luke
As soon as I got out of the car Cole came at me ready for some answers.
"Luke you dog! " He yelled then howled at the half-full moon.
"Shut up!" I yelled at him probably smiling like an idiot. Now she's probably expecting the wolf me. My lips are still burning from the kiss.
"You kissed her!!! I knew it!! " Get out of my head!!! He laughed at me like a psycho.
"No just a peck on the cheek." He looked at me disappointed and I laughed. "Now I've got to go."
"What where are you going now? Alpha is pissed at you that you left." I froze and stared at him.
"Was anyone hurt? "
"No vampires even came Marcus was wrong."
"Well, then what are we worrying about? I have to go now." I ran through the trees, stripped and shifted into my wolf. This is the quickest I've ever shifted.
