THE BLOODY ROSE

Authors note: I own the characters Suzy and Dea the wolf for this fic.

************************************************************************ Suzy was just sitting on her lawn chair minding her own business, tanning herself when all of a sudden a huge water balloon came out of nowhere and hit her in the head soaking her from head to toe.

She screamed out at the top of her lungs, "Who threw that!?"

But Shadow just started to laugh because he was aiming for Dea who was trying to hide from him because they were having a water balloon fight and Suzy got caught in the middle of it.

Suzy walked over to Shadow and asked him, "What's so funny, you pin cushion!?"

Shadow stopped laughing for a second only to start up again. Just looking at Suzy soaking wet was enough to make both Shadow and Dea crack up laughing. Suzy got so mad she went inside and with an evil grin filled 2 balloons with a mixture of toilet water and old moldy food from the fridge. Both of them were for Shadow one for now and the other one for when he hit her again with another balloon. She walked outside from kitchen just in time to see another one flying at her and ducked just as it went soaring into the kitchen and broke Shadows good glass sitting on the island.

Shadow came running over and yelled at Suzy, "Why the hell didn't you catch that!" But Suzy could only reply "I don't know." Looking at him with a ditzy look on her face.

"Why did you throw one at me?" and so began the argument over why they both did what they did. Finally at dinnertime Dea yelled to Shadow and Suzy, "Dinner if you're hungry." Dea only got out Dinner and they both were at the table with their napkins in their laps a fork in one hand and a knife in the other.

She turned around to see this and told them it was lobster and they didn't need a knife but a seafood shell cracker instead. Right in the middle of eating they got a strange phone call. When Shadow answered it, all he heard was "tick tick tick" then nothing and then a "tick tick tick" again! Shadow screamed into the phone "Who are you!" But all he heard was an eerie silence. When he came back Suzy asked, "Who was it, Hon?"

"I duh know" he replied looking at the phone with a curious look on his face. "Well check the caller I.D. in our room"
