My name is Azlyn(A-z-lin) Rae Sky, most people call me Lyn though, its shorter and easier to pronounce. I've always been a fan of that dark, not gothic dark, but I mean the moonlight and midnight kind of dark. I've always loved dark cloudy days, or rainy muddy days. The days no one likes I do. My best-friend is Lillian, but we all call her Lilli. My close friends are Lillian Paige, Gwyneth Hally, and Austin Dale.
I was sitting on my bed, getting ready for the Halloween party that was going to start in about 2 hours. It was 9 pm, and I was always allowed to do anything, my parents didn't care. I had on a corset that was an orange/yellow with black coming down my middle that tied with red ribbons leaving a bow at the top of my chest. Attached from the back were the mid arm sleeves that frilled at the ends in a maroon color. The corset was also a leotard type, so it was like a swimsuit. Attached to the sleeves was a maroon colored cape that ran up the my neck. I wore lower elbow high gloves that were yellow/orange with red bows on the top of my hands. I wore a thigh maroon stocking on my left leg with knee high yellow/orange boots that had a slight heel. Small bows strapped the feet that held little maroon bells on them, with bows at the knees too. I had ribbon wrapped around my right thigh instead of a stocking. A star was painted around my right eye, that emphasized my blue vibrant eyes. I had on red lipstick, and I had my hair curled in small curly cues, with a maroon bow in my hair. I had a diagonal styled orange/yellow hat with a maroon bell on it. I had maroon ribbon wrapped around my waist diagonally and a ribbon under my chest as well that formed the bow.
Gwyneth knocked on the door, and she came in. She had purple hair for today instead of her bright red. She had it in a pony tail that was pinned so it sprawled out at the sides. She had on a purple type dress that was missing a piece it seemed on her right side of her stomach. She had one sleeve on her left side that was flared out at the bottoms, almost engulfing her arm. The dress came short, and almost showed her butt. She had a tight dark purple sleeve that wrapped only around her right arm and up her neck leaving her half bare where the dress was. Her right hand was covered by a metal armored glove with spikes on the top side. She had on a fishnet stocking only on her right thigh, and she had dark purple knee high boots with a heel. Maroon bows wrapped the feet. She had metal wrapped diagonally around her waist, on both sides making an 'X'. Her make-up was simple, light cover up with blush and a little black star above the corner of her left eye.
Lillian came in behind her, wearing her hair red instead of her natural glossy brown. Her eyes were green, and large silver lightning bolt designs under both her eyes. She had her hair down to her shoulders, and curled. Kind of like mine, but hers was shorter than mine. She wore a corset, with slight skin showing between the end and her top of the skirt. Her corset was maroon red, with skin showing from the ties in front. She had a roses on her right breast, and a metal armor on her left. She had roses on her left shoulder, with vines coming down to her hands. Vines wrapped around her right arm to her hands as well. She had a vine like joker on her neck, and her skirt was rose like with metal banning around her waist. Her boots came to her ankles, and were silver with maroon roses and vines wrapping around them. She had a rose like tiara in her hair.
Another girl stood by Gwyn, and it was her sister, Annabelle. She had on a white simple corset, with a blue pirate like jacket on. A white neck on the jacket, and the maroon bow kept the jacket buttoned on. She wore white gloves over the tight sleeves, and her pants were dark blue, like the jacket, with white mid calf boots on with a maroon ribbon around them. She had a skirt like cape around her waist, lined with yellow string, with a maroon type belt that kept it in place. The bottom of the skirt was white, and the inside was maroon. Her make-up was dark blue eye shadow over her light blue eyes. Her hair was light blue as well, just for tonight though. She had a dark blue start that was lined with light blue under her eye, and just above her cheek. She had her hair in 2 buns, with a line of hair sticking out at both sides, she had long, very long like mid-lower back long hair. She had a headband on her head that was dark blue, with white frills, and yellow roses at each end.
The image in my profile will give you a better idea of what I described
They all smiled at me, "Nice to see you guys early for once." I smiled.
Gwyn rolled her eyes, "You look sexy, you 'angel of madness'." She smirked playfully.
"Ok, you 'dead princess'." I smirked back.
"Ok, ok, I think we all know the 'unnatural being' is the best." Lilli smiled referring to herself.
We all laughed. "You look nice Anna, I'm glad you could be part of our crazy 4." I smiled.
"I'm the 'Lady of Innocence' right?" Anna asked shyly.
I nodded, "And the prettiest one of all too, at least I think so. Sexy, but beautiful." I smiled at her. She was only 15, while we were all 17, except me, I was 16. We were all in 11th grade.
"So, where's Austin?" Gwyn asked. We all knew she liked him since he became our best friend in 10th grade. He's always the popular one, and we were the outcasts, but he took interest in us, and found out we were cool I guess.
"He won't be here until its time to go, he is our ride though." I winked at Gwyn, "You gunna make your move tonight?" I stood up and nudged her.
"No!" She exclaimed, as she looked away.
We all laughed. We talked for an hour before I heard the doorbell ring. I ran downstairs, asking them to wait there. I opened the door, and Austin was there. He was dressed in a dark brown t-shirt, with a black leather jackets and black jeans with black vans. "Hi?" I asked, "Where's your costume?"
He rolled his eyes, "Sweetheart, I don't need a costume." He winked. "You though, you look incredible."
"You should see Gwyn and Lilli. Oh and Anna." I smiled leading up stairs. Where I heard laughter of course. Its always a fun house with us.
He walked in, and everyone went quiet, and Gwyn was blushing, and looking away as if she was naked.
"Hey, it's finally time to go!" Lilli exclaimed as she ran out of the room.
We all walked to his car, and Lilli, Gwyn and Anna all ran out the front door. I ran out to. "Shotgun!" I exclaimed grinning at everyone who glared at me.
"Come on guys," Austin said. "You all look great by the way." He smiled, and winked at me. We were always closer I met him in 9th grade, before I met anyone else. He was the one to show me around, and he was a grade ahead of us. He was graduating, and soon would be moving away. I moved here in 9th grade, and I was one no one wanted to talk to. Austin was there though and showed me the loops, the groups, the people not to hang out with, and that's when I met Lilli, and soon we stopped hanging out, but we always kept in touch.
We got in the car, me in the passenger seat. The house that the party was held in was 30-40 minutes away from my house. We drove on, while everyone talked, but all I did was drift away and I looked out the window, and into the dark blue sky. I wished sometimes I could fly, soar through the midnight sky, looking at the stars.
"Lyn, hey, you ok?" I heard Austin ask.
"Hmm? What? Oh, sorry I was just daydreaming." I smiled at them.
We reached the house, and the lights were on, blinking. I assumed they were strobe lights. We parked about a block or so from the house, there were still a lot of people walking to the house. Luckily, there were only a few neighbors, but they lived about 5-6 acres away. We walked inside, there was loud music, alcohol and drugs. I could smell them, all kinds, weed, cocaine, and all that fun stuff. I was never into it, and hopefully none of my friends were either.
"Hey-ay! Its Austin in the house!" I heard a booming voice walking up to us. It was Ricky. I hate that guy. He was so loud, and annoying, and a man-whore. He's had sex with all the cheerleaders, and all the sluts in our school. This was his house actually too, I'm surprised I let my friends talk me into going. He peered behind Austin. "Who's your friends?" He looked each of us up and down, ending with me.
"This is Lilli, Gwyn, Anna, and.." He was interrupted.
"Lyn, right?" He grabbed my head and brought it to his lips. "Pleasure." He couldn't stop staring at my boobs.
I pulled my hand away. "I'm not interesting in man-whores." I growled.
He smirked, "Well, she's a feisty one. Is she yours Austin?"
"No!" I exclaimed, "He's like a brother to me." I hissed, very angrily.
Gwyn blushed at the words, and Lilli smirked devilishly. Anna stayed behind Gwyn, she was nervous, she always was.
I grabbed Lilly and Gwyn, and Anna followed holding on to dear life on Gwyn. "Come on, we don't need this." I murmured as we pushed past Ricky. We walked around, and let them go.
"Wow, he likes you.." Lilli cooed as she twinkled her hands around me. She grabbed a plastic cup, and poured some soda inside it.
"Who knows if that was drugged." I whispered.
She shrugged, "Then I'll have much more fun." She gulped down the soda, without any hiccups in the end either.
I shook my head with a smile. "Alright, You need to loosen up." Gwyn said with a smirk.
"And you need to make a move." I said with a returning more evil smirk.
She opened her mouth, then closed it. She shook her head lightly while laughing a little.
We all got some soda, and sat on a couch. There were so many costumes, and so many girls with revealing butts, and pushed up boobs. They all seem intimidated by us though.
After about 10 minutes of nothing, Lilli got up and walked away, going over to a group of guys. She smiled as they all complimented her dress.
I rolled my eyes, I got up too and walked around. "I'm going to go look around. You should make a move too." I said, making it serious this time. I walked up the stairs, and looked around. It was a mansion up here, some rooms were locked and I heard moaning, banging and screaming from all of them. Except one, I opened it and it was dark. Moons and stars lined the ceiling. There was a telescope out the window. I looked through it, seeing the stars, and found the frying pan everyone always called it. I kept looking, when hands started groping my butt. I turned around, and it was Ricky.
"Its beautiful isn't it?" He asked, as I walked backwards and hit a wall. He pinned me, his hands on either side of my head. "Don't you think?"
"Yes, but I should really be getting back." I tried going under, but he slammed me against the floor.
"Your not leaving, you leaded me on with your hard to get temper." He leaned down, forcing a kiss on me. I pushed him away, but he continued. He was much stronger than me.
"No.. get off." I managed between breaths. He grabbed my boobs, and then my phone rang, luckily. He grabbed it before I could and answered.
"Hey, Austin.." He grinned. "Oh, yeah she's fine...where having a great time.. got to go though got some business to take care of." And with that he hung up and tossed the phone behind him. I kneed him in the groan and got up. He growled under his breath. I ran to my phone and tried dialing Austin, but couldn't manage. I screamed, he grabbed my legs and pulled me under him again. Before he could do anything, Austin barged inside.
He tossed Ricky on his back and punched him twice. "Stay away from her." He growled.
He grabbed my arm and we walked out and into a bathroom. He washed his hands, and closed the door behind him. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't watched him closer." He sighed, splashing water on his face.
I put a hand on his shoulder, "Its ok Austin.. You didn't know."
"I did though, he asked me what you guys were for Halloween, and I told him. He told me what he wanted to do with you, but I never thought you'd leave your friends." He tried his face and hands off with a towel and looked in the mirror.
"Its fine, its still not your fault." I assured him, smiling at him.
He turned around, and gazed down at me, for a moment, I felt safe. I felt warm inside as if I needed nothing else but him. I opened my mouth, but before I could say anything. He pulled me into a tight hug. I placed my hands on his chest, and he placed his chin on my head.
"I'll never let anyone hurt you Azlyn.. no one." He whispered.
"No, I shouldn't be doing this with you.. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." I whispered as I ran out the door. He let me go easily and I ran outside. I pulled the string to my ribbon, and it gracefully came out. I dropped the ribbon as I ran my hands through my hair angrily. "Oh my gosh, I'm so stupid!" I exclaimed.
Austin came out, and sat next to me. "Why did you say that?"
"Because, Because Gwyn has liked you ever since she met you. I couldn't do that to her.." I whispered. He took my hands from my face.
"But Gwyn isn't you Azlyn." He smiled at me. I couldn't help but smile back. "It was just a hug though..How about I go get the others and I'll drive you guys home."
I sighed. "An affectionate hug.. that's different." He went in just shook his head lightly at me. 5 minutes later came out with the 3 of them. We all got in the car, except Gwyn.
"Hey, Austin, can we talk for a minute?" She asked, staring away to the side, then to her shoes.
"Sure." He smiled. They walked to the back of the car, and she immediately gave him a hug. He was startled but smiled, "What's that for?" He asked.
She looked up, closed her eyes and pressed her lips to his. He was surprised, and didn't kiss her back. I could tell by the rear view mirror, and the way his expression was. She stopped, looked at him and blushed. "I'm so-sorry.." She whispered. She got into the car and so did he. It was a quiet ride, and he dropped Lilli off first, and then Gwyn and Annabelle.
It was silent for a little bit before he pulled into the drive way. I got out and so did he. "Wait.. Lyn, please at least think about it. There was a something there. There was nothing with Gwyn.. nothing.." He sighed. He got back in and waited for me to get inside. I went to my room, already knowing my parents weren't home because there car was gone. They probably were at a bar or a club or something. I undressed and put on some dark blue pajama bottoms and a light blue tank top. I laid in my bed thinking, what if I kissed Austin, that could've gone horribly wrong. I sighed, I don't know why but I feel like I'm a different person now. He's always been there for me, and now he wants something more than friendship. Maybe I did too.. I sighed again and soon drifted to sleep. It took awhile to fall asleep, but I managed at 1 am.
