Chapter One

Brianna had always been the shy and innocent one of the groups. She had never done it with. She had never smoked or gotten drunk either. Tonight though was going to be different. She was going to give up her innocence. All of it would be gone. That morning Adrian had come up behind Brianna and surprised her. He had wrapped his arms around her. It shock Tisiphone but she took it in her stride. What really surprised Brianna was when Adrian bit her neck. Then he asked her to come over to his house after her practice. Surprised and shocked she said yes.

When Brianna said yes, she and Adrian turned to face the rest of the circle. His arms were still around her and Tisiphone felt safe. Adrian surprised her again by inviting Alecto, Tisiphone, J, and Danny. It was going to be six people and Tisiphone was okay with that. It was going to be a fun night. At first Brianna did not think about what would happen but then she realized that was going to lose her innocence to Adrian. That scared her.

Brianna was still thinking about what Adrian was going to do to her when she got to practice. Her thoughts were interrupted by a small voice near her. Her best friend had come up to her because she had Brianna's fear. Tisiphone had always been there for Brianna and intended to be there now.

"You do not have to go through with this. It is your choice."

That is what Tisiphone told Brianna. It was her own decision but Tisiphone did not feel like it was. She felt pressured to go and do it. Brianna was very scared. Nothing that anyone said had helped her. It only worked to heighten her fear. Tisiphone saw that was happening and told everyone to leave her alone. After awhile she had relaxed.

Soon it had come time to leave practice and go home. That is where Brianna wanted to go. Her fear began increase as they drove away from the school. Tisiphone sensed that and explained how Adrian was with the way he does things. He never tried to hurt them but sometimes it happened. Especially when it was a first for the person he was with. He made it fun and relaxing. Brianna saw Tisiphone visibly relax.

They had arrived at Adrian's and Brianna was very reluctant to get out of the car. She was not sure if she could trust Adrian. Quite suddenly Adrian, J, Alecto, and Danny showed up at the car. Brianna looked at Adrian and her fear subsided. She knew she was safe. Adrian told her the same thing Tisiphone had told her at practice. Brianna did not have to go through with everything that night. It was her call. She started feeling safer and safer around him.

The entire group walked back into the house and sat down in a giant six person circle. They started playing some fun games while listening to really good music. It was cool until things started to go the way Brianna was scared to go. Her fear getting the better of her, Brianna ran out the door. Nobody had realized that it had started raining until Brianna left. Adrian, fearing for her, went out after her. He found Brianna sitting on the side walk in Capri sweats and a blue long sleeve shirt. Brianna was soaked and shaking. When she looked up at Adrian he saw her fear.
