How it all started...

Hello! I came up with this idea due to my complete obsession with Marilyn Manson's cover of 'Tainted Love'. I highly recomend you watch it. It is awesome!

Disclaimer: My idea, however the song 'Tainted love' did inspire me which I by no means own. However, this is my idea! And in the words of the Grinch if you steal it "I will hunt you down and gut you like a fish!"

Enjoy my randomness! xxx

Carly and I had been planning this party for a solid three weeks. I was laying out all of the refreshments on the table in the living room of my house. We decided to throw the party here, as it was larger than Carly's. Also, because my parents were the type of parents that allowed this sort of thing, as long as I I knew when I crossed the line.

We had successfully invited the whole of our year and only a handful declined for decent reasons (my nan is in hospital, brother's birthday, etc). Even the 'popular' people told us they would come. I wasn't exactly popular but I wasn't a total social pariah.

"Hey, everything sorted?" I heard Carly ask from behind me. I turned and saw she had already gotten ready. Her browny/black hair was wavy just past her shoulders, she had taken off her glasses in exchange for contact lenses, and she was wearing a pair of denim shorts with a white cami.

"Yeah, everything is done." I said. "You look great by the way." She laughed at my comment.

"Thanks. You don't." I looked down at my jogging bottoms and frowned. "Go and get changed. I will make sure the snacks don't magically disappear."

I laughed and walked up the stairs to get changed.

The outfit I settled for was a pair of black skinny jeans with a green t-shirt, adorned with my favourite black wedges, to give my 5"3 figure more height. I put on my usual eye liner and mascara just to make my eyes pop, I took no interest in the foundation thingy. Why clog up my skin with products that I don't need? Then, when I was sure I was ready, I walked down the stairs.

I got to the bottom and saw that many people were begining to arrive. "Hi, Soph." I heard someone say. I looked and saw Carly's younger brother standing there smiling at me. He was only a year younger than Carly and I so I didn't mind the fact that he was here, besides he always felt the need to be at places Carly and I were at. I think he is protective of her. He reminded me of a cute little puppy the way his hair fell into his dark chocolate eyes all the time. Tonight his hair did what it usually did but he had changed his normal band t-shirt for a checked shirt, however he remained in his infamous black skinny jeans.

"Oh, hey, Aiden." I put on a smile. "You alright?"

"Yeah I'm good." He returned my smile for an instant before it fell. "I heard that Serena is going to bring some people." He said very low that I almost couldn't hear him over the thump of the music that had just started up.

"So?"

"I just thought you'd want to know." He said with a shrug, obviously not happy that I wasn't going to do anything about the upcoming situation.

"Nah, it's ok. The more the merrier." I turned to the DJ who just happened to be one of my best friends. "Ciran! Turn it up!" I shouted and he laughed and turned up the song, which was a random hip hop beat. "Go have fun, Aiden. Leave me to worry about the 'uninvited guests'." With that I smiled and walked away.

The party had been going for about half an hour when it happened. They rolled out of several cars. I walked over to the front door in time to see Serena walk in. "Hey. Sorry I thought I could liven up the party."She said with a devious smile and walked past me. I looked to see many 'goth(?)' kids walk up to the front door.

The one up front that was clearly the leader was the most gorgeous person I have ever set eyes on. He looked about my age maybe a little older. He had styled black hair that fell accross his forehead nicely. He was wearing all black. A black t-shirt with a pair of black skinny jeans that had chains on. I didn't realise I was gawking at him until he smirked at me.

Being the short tempered person I am, my temper flared. "Excuse me." I stated. "This is my party and if you plan on staying, I suggest you wipe that arrogant look off your face." I watched as one of his followers stepped up and went for me, but was stopped by the handsome boy. I watched his face go from shocked to amused in the corse of about a second.

"Sorry...?" He paused waiting for my name.

"Sophie, and you are?" I asked, my slight rage still clear in my voice.

"Demetrius," He said. He voice was so seductive, but I was still a bit annoyed and he was still looking at me as though I was a peice of meat.

"Well, Demetrius, enjoy the party." I said simpy and walked away. I could feel his eyes on my back the entire time. I made it back to Carly and she immediately began grilling me for answers.

"Who was that? His friends seem cool." She said looking at me expectantly.

"Serena's friends. I wasn't going to turn them away, was I?"

"Maybe you should have..." I looked to where she was pointing and saw Serena beckoning Demetrius unstairs. And he was following! I made a move to stop them from their sinful acts they were surely about to commit. "You can't stop them. That would just be embarassing." Carly said, and I had to agree with her. I just hoped they didn't pick my bedroom.

I heard the music change from fun hip hop to heavy rock. Luckily my music tastes varied and I actually loved this song. I watched as Ciran csme up to us."What's with the goths?" He asked, and I meerly shrugged. I really loved this song. I could feel my self bouncing to the beat.

"Can we dance?" I didn't wait for an answer as I grabbed Carly's and Ciran's hands. My hips were moving to the beat and several other people came to join in on the dancing (actually it was more like grinding).

I felt some one grab my hips and lean in to wisper into my ear. "You can really dance." I turned and found my self looking in ot the eyes of Demetruis. "I like a girl that can move her hips." I snorted. He went through girls as quickly as I went through eye liner.

"Well, you can watch my hips as they walk away." I turned and began to walk away, but he grabbed my arm before I made it two steps. He leaned down to whisper in my ear again. I could feel his cold breath on my neck and I could sense the danger.

"I always get what I want, Sophie." He said and stepped back so he could look at me, while still keeping a firm grip on my arm.

"I am not a possesion. You can't 'get' me that easily." I said, putting as much venom into my words as possible. I ripped my arm out of his grasp. I felt that had he wanted to keep me there he could of, but something made me think, he liked the chase.

How did you like it? Sorry it was a short, it was just to get the ball rolling.

Reviews are my muse, please send me some.

Again, I love the Marilyn Manson cover of the 80's classic 'Tainted Love' and I think you should listen to it! But don't fully associate this story with it because that is strange and I feel no sexual atraction to Marilyn I just like his music. :)
