Rin POV
Snap! I twirled around to face the sound. Nothing there, I thought. Of course not it's midnight, on a school night, in the most deserted area of town. I had been following Len, but he had disappeared a few miles back. Now I was just trying to find my way home.
"Ah," I gasped as the light in one of the apparently empty houses flipped on.
Crunch, crunch, crunch. The soft sounds of someone sneaking through the dead lawns. I tried to see who it was but was blinded by the light from the house.
That house is just like all the others, I comforted myself, it's probably just an animal, I think. Suddenly I saw two figures.
"Hey, Dell, this one looks good, don't you think?" said the first.
"I don't know she's pretty scrawny," the other, Dell, murmured.
"Well, I like her," the first said.
"Then grab her," Dell said apathetically.
Hearing this, I turned to run and found the first facing me. He grabbed me in an embrace and leaned in as if to kiss me.
"Mikuo, don't hurt her," Dell said with as close to emotion as I had heard him, "she's for the party."
The other guy, Mikuo, sighed and, as far as I could tell, kissed my neck. I had enough time to think party what party. Then, the world went dark.
I awoke in a deserted room with bass thudding through the house. I sat up and got out of bed. As I walked to the door a glimmer of light, reflected off a mirror, caught my eye. I turned and came face to face with a pale beauty with long blonde hair, full red lips, and vibrant blue eyes. Then, I noticed her clothes, a white V-neck dress that hung down to her knees.
Suddenly a boy in blue jeans and a button down shirt, with cherry red hair and red eyes, appeared behind the girl. I gasped in surprise when I felt a hand on my back. That was when I finally realized it was the mirror and the girl was me.
"No wonder Mikuo was in such a good mood," he muttered. "You're very beautiful, Lainie, it is lucky Dell and Mikuo found you.
"I'm Ted; this is my brother, Luki's, house and party. Won't you join us?"
"At the party? Sure," I replied hesitantly.
"Great," he said while he led me out into the hall.
When we got out there, I saw numerous people with guides walk out of their rooms. We all walked to the end of the hall and out the door. Most of the people went to the table to eat. I stepped over to the side and leaned on the rail of the balcony.
"What's wrong, Rin?" Ted asked.
"Nothing," I replied.
Ted shrugged and walked away towards a group of people at the base of the stairs. He joined them and they walked away.
As I stood there, everything blurred. I saw couples dancing, but something seemed off. They looked unearthly, graceful and dangerous. Yet they seemed the same, it was as if I saw double without seeing two of them. Then I saw Len.
My head throbbed, and I no longer saw what was in front of me. I was drifting through memory, unconscious.
Len, the first time I saw him. We had just entered junior high and had algebra together. He seemed shy, with a sad smile. He captured my heart then. He was a little taller than me with blond hair and ice blue eyes that pierced your soul. He seemed so sad though.
Then I saw the last week, Len dodging me, a kiss, and then the weird silence from him. This weird behavior had been why I was following him. I was worried for my friend.
Next, I remembered tonight. I remembered the fear I felt, Mikuo's speed, and Dell's apathy. I remembered everything about tonight that I had somehow forgotten and none of it made any sense. They were unearthly, though not necessarily in a good way. After that, the memories stop flashing before my eyes.
"Rin, Rin, wake up, please," someone was pleading with me.
My eyes fluttered open and I stared up into Len's eyes. I reached up to touch his face and make sure I wasn't hallucinating, but he stopped me. Len sighed, shaking his head, at me or them I couldn't tell. Then he turned on Luki, Mikuo, and Dell who had shown up while I was unconscious.
I told you, no one who would be missed," he growled, looking ferocious, "and who do you bring? Someone who will be missed!"
"It's my party," Luki grumbled.
"And I out rank you," Len snarled. "I said no vampire powers, you two. That meant no super speed or hypnosis!"
"I wiped her mind," Mikuo wined.
"Obviously it didn't work, she's terrified of you," Len snapped.
Mikuo lunged at Len in a pathetic attempt to knock him down. He obviously didn't know that Len had taken martial arts since first grade. After he lunged some small barely perceptible change came over them. Luki was more animal-like. Len, Bentley, and Mikuo were all tensed for a fight and more predatory, in crouches that reminded me of a hunting cat. Were they vampires? I thought. Len said something about vampires, didn't he? I rambled on in my head.
Then I blinked and everything was back to normal. I shook my head in disbelief, thinking, this can't be happening, this can't be happening. I noticed Len, kneeling next to where I was sitting, huddled in a little ball. I looked up at him and grabbed the hand he offered me.
"Come on, Rin, I'm taking you home," Len said.
"But" Mikuo started.
"No buts," Len interrupted.
"She knows too much," Dell stated in his normal tones.
"She's my responsibility now," Len countered. "You won't get in trouble or killed if she says anything, only I will. That's if she says anything which she won't. I plan on wiping her properly this time."
"That's fine, then," Dell conceded.
Len led me from that house of monsters and magical beings and back to sanity, my house. I didn't remember much of the trip the next day just that I felt safe with Len. I did remember everything else; especially when he leaned down and quickly and totally unexpectedly kissed me on the doorstep then disappeared into the night.
I snuck up to my room and fell asleep.
