Chapter 2: Prepare

After training I come out with at least a dozen bruises and a busted lip, I got to my stele to put a healing rune on. As I begin to apply my rune, my mother walks in with her red fiery hair in a bun just like mine,

"Ad are you going anywhere today?"

Lauren and I are going to a club tonight, she scored us fake ID's and we are going to party till dawn.

I cover up and say, "Yeah, Lauren and I are going to the library to study for that Algebra test."

"When?" she asks her voice full of concern.

"Uhh, sometime tonight she hasn't decided when a good time is." I say.

"Well, I want you back before midnight, you hear me?" She asks me with a stern look.

I finish the rune and look up to her fully,

"Yeah, sure." I finish.

"Ad really be back before midnight, I-I just get worried when you are out late." She continues.

"Okay Mom, seriously I'm a shadow Hunter that should count for something, I can protect myself from a few psycho people, trust me." I reply.

She nods and walks with a basket in hand to the laundry room. Wonder what's her deal, it's not like I will get into any serious trouble. I roll my eyes and continue to my room.

By eight, Lauren and I have a date at nine to go to the club. I go to take a shower with my favorite sassy splash body wash, when I get done I put on my robe, blow dry my hair, apply my make-up, and brush my teeth. When I get done with primping myself I go to my closet to get my dress I paid a hundred dollars for, it is a red cocktail dress with a line of silver jewels going down the bodice. I look in the mirror, I look older than I am the dress accentuates my body to make me look like I have curves. I grab my bag and stuff the dress in it, and then I grab a graphic tee with ripped shorts and my flip-flops.

I slip them on to conceal the fact that I'm just going to the library. I grab the bag and look in the mirror for one last check to see if my make-up smeared or not, then I walked out into the hall.

Thank you for your reviews and the favorites! Love you guys :D
