Well I won't be forgetting that party for a while that's sure. It was my friend, Charlotte's 16 birthday and was Alice in wonderland fancy dress themed. She was Alice of course and I, being known as the crazy one, was the mad hatter with the big hat to match. It may seem a bit weird to have a Alice in wonderland themed party in the middle of winter, but I guess that is just how she likes to roll. It was early December and most people were getting ready for Christmas, but not us, we were running around like crazy people, playing twister. We were all having a great time until we heard a knock at the door. I turned to Charlotte and asked "were you expecting any more people" I looked around the room and saw everyone accounted for, so I didn't have a clue who it could be. "No I don't think so" she replied. She moved towards the door and opened it, letting the chill air into the house. Everyone was quite for a moment and then I followed Charlotte up to the open door. Standing on her doorstep were two of the most popular girls in our school, they were the year above us and well known by literally everyone, but I didn't have a clue why they were here.
The one called Gabby turned to Charlotte and said "Well, aren't you going to let us in hun, or are you just going to let us catch our death standing on this doorstep in the middle of winter."
Without saying anything, Charlotte just stepped to the side allowing the two girls to walk into the house. I could tell that everyone was thinking the same thing, what the hell were they doing here?
It was Matt who spoke up first seeing as Charlotte was obviously too shell-shocked to say anything. "What are you two actually doing here, if you don't mind me asking?"
Gabby just flashed a sickly sweet smile and replied "Me and Meg here heard there was a party and we decided to check it out. You don't mind do you Charlie dear." Fluttering her eyelashes in Charlotte's direction.
Charlotte knew that it would literally be social suicide to throw them back outside, but yet again she did hate being called Charlie and I saw that it was getting her worked up.
Charlotte stood her ground, "Actually, it is kind of an invite only thing and your two don't appear to have invites, so I would prefer it if you left please" she said coldly.
I knew that this most likely wouldn't work, that something else was going on, and I was right. "Well, hun it wasn't really a question because we have come to take something that belongs to us and so we are going to stay."
"What will Charlotte have that belongs to you?" the words come out of my mouth before I even realise what I am saying.
"Oh it isn't what she has, it is the company she keeps, isn't that right Rosie?"
Rosie's face was as pale as a ghost, I don't know what got her so worked up but the next moment she was pulling my arm towards the door saying "Abi, we need to go now, they know you are here. They know what you are! We need to go"
I pulled my arm away and faced her "What the hell are you on about Rosie, what do you mean they know what you are. I am just a normal girl who is looking a bit abnormal dressed as a mad man."
"No you really don't understand, you have to leave otherwise you will get hurt"
"That's right little goat, she is going to get hurt and so are you" said Meg
Just then the girls transformed right before my eyes.
