It was now morning. The boys had invited the girls to stay at their cabin, after assuring them that no one had been hurt.

Kathy had numbly followed along, still reeling from what had happened.

As fate, or something far eviler would have it, the 'cabin' that they lived in happened to be the tiny inn that the girls were to stay in.

A week had passed since she had seen the monsters,and she still couldn't believe that the boys were human, even though she had been trying to convince herself that she had just been imagining things.

As she mulled this over in her head, she gazed over to where the girls were flirting with the boys by a little stream.

Now they were all best friends apparently.

The boy who had been hit, Jack, aka the grotesque monster, was slightly taller than the other one, who had introduced himself as Mark.

Jack had slightly wavy blackish brown hair that was perfectly layered. He had a straight nose, full lips, high cheekbones, and big dark blue eyes that were surrounded by long thick lashes.

He seemed older than the other one, and was quiet and well-mannered, the exact opposite of spritely Mark.

The seemingly younger boy had straight black hair that reached his shoulders. It looked like a child with a blunt pair of scissors had cut the ends. His face was small and pixie like with a small nose, wide baby like mouth, and sparkling black eyes surrounded by long camel lashes, so whenever he smiled, he looked like a mix between a sad puppie and an evil fairy.

He had perfect white porcelain skin and looked as though he might crack when you touched him. His personality was so different from his looks it was as if someone had placed two completely opposite things together and created him.

He was loud, obnoxious, and, though she hated to admit it, very funny.

Astrid and Annie had attached themselves to Jack, While Porchia was gaga over Mark.

Mark, however, seemed to have no interest in anyone other than Kathy.

He had followed her everywhere, trying to get her to smile at him or give some acknowledgement to his exsistence.

She hadn't responded to his advances, because everytime she looked at him, the scent of death filled her nose, and screams of terror filled her ears.

She was snapped out of her reverie when she noticed he had broken away from the group and was heading to where she sat on the hill above them on a broken log.

She quickly turned her head to avoid seeing or hearing something she didn't want to.

He sat down beside her.

" Hey. Why aren't you down there with everyone else?"

" Should I be?" She said meanly.

It scared her how tense and on guard he made her. Mark drew back.

" Whoa, sorry. I Just thought you would enjoy yourself. You look like someone who would enjoy the wilderness."

" There's plenty of 'wilderness' where I'm sitting."

Kathy didn't know why she was being so mean. Normally she would apologize for making him say that. Actually, normally she wouldn't have been mean to him in the first place.

His eyes flickered with something for a moment, she didn't know whether it was anger or sorrow.

Then his eyes went black again and he looked her straight in the eye as he spoke.

" Why don't you like me?"

His voice seemed to vibrate with a thousand smaller voices joining it.

It seemed as though he was compelling her to tell him. She fought the strange urge to tell him the truth.

" You think I Don't like you? I love you."

She was shocked by what she had just said. He looked pleased.

" Really?"

She laughed and he looked startled.

" No,not really, dumb ass."

His face was covered in shock and bewilderment and she got up and walked away, but not before turning and adding yet another insult.

" I can't believe you'd even believe that for a second. Wow you're conceited."

Kathy mentally strangled herself as she walked away.

It seemed as though she couldn't even control her own body anymore, much less her mouth. She felt awful for saying the things she had.

The way that he had looked so hurt had made her feel a pang in her heart.

She found somewhere else to sit, and Mark rejoined the group acting like nothing had happened, but she saw him and Jack exchanging looks.
