She hates him. He despises her. It was the way things worked, it was as simple as the bond they shared. But when a dare is taken and the two spend the night in an abandoned manor, secrets come out and relationships are formed, even if it's not in the best of ways.

Chapter Two

Halloween Parties have never been my style. Well, come to think of it, partying in general has never been my style. The only time I've ever been to parties is when it's a kid's birthday or someone I love. This, in particular, was a Halloween Bash in the old department store that some people cleaned out and restored. It was in the middle of a forest, but nobody seemed to care.

"It'll be fun," said Trish, when I asked her if she was going or not. "There'll be punch, and you can wear masquerade masks so if you screw up, people will never know it's you."

So that is how I'm stuck in Dallas' car, driving towards the party itself. We were "fashionably late". Our hands were interlocked, and his gaze was set upon the twisty road in front of us. It was a full moon - perfect for a Halloween party, even more perfect for the dress I was wearing. Trish was going as a leopard, so I went as a black Angel. So many girls would turn up wearing devil costumes, it seemed so mainstream to me now that when I didn't have a decent costume, I panicked.

I noticed that there was a house opposite where the party was taking place, but decided to ignore the fact for the meantime. Dallas parked the car and opened the door for me to get out, doing the usual gentleman bow whilst smiling. He stuck his hand out and I gladly took it, walking into the department store hand in hand with my boyfriend.

It was crazy - the exact visualization of what you'd think a Halloween party looked like. Demons, Vampires and all sorts of animal costumes littered the hallways, the occasional sheet-ghost parody floating by with a grin. Dallas was dressed as a Vampire, and even though I was never a fan of the Twilight books, I didn't mind him dressing up as a bloodsucker. If anything, it made him more attractive.

Together we waded past wasted teenagers and sat down at the bar. "This is crazy," he laughed. "Look, there's Austin. Hey!" he waved behind me, and I could feel the inner demon of my personality struggling to make a reappearance. Austin Moon had that impact. Whenever I was around him (or when somebody mentioned his name) my blood began to boil with so much anger that my own body heat felt like acid.

"Hey Dalla- What is she doing here?" Austin scowled, staring at me and looking at my dress. "Nice clothes. Makes you look less of a slut."

"Shut up, man-whore." I retorted, raising the rim of the glass to my lips. It had some type of alcohol in it, and even though I wasn't much of a pressured drinker, Austin Moon made me do things I never dreamt of, just by giving me a weak comment. It annoyed - no, angered - me how he never gave up without a fight for the win.

Dallas sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Can't you two try to get along? It is Halloween."

"Why should we? We'll have to spend the whole fucking weekend together anyway." complained Austin, but he calmed down and took a seat next to Dallas (after giving me the deadliest glare he could muster. I returned the favour by shooting him my most snarkiest eye roll).

Our whole night consisted of drinking and dancing, getting wasted, and throwing glasses of punch out the window. 1am found me in a sitting position on the floor, next to Trish. We were all sitting in a circle, playing Spin For A Truth Or Dare. The deal is, you spin the bottle and the two people it lands on has to either pick truth or dare. If it's a girl or boy, the boy picks. If it's two girls or two boys, they'll have to have a hectic game of Rock Paper Scissors. Either way, you can't win.

So as Adam, the only human to have ever survived through fourteen bottles of vodka, spun the bottle, I slowly found myself paling as it landed on me. On the other side of the bottle, Austin was grinning. "I forfeit," I said, gulping. It was the first ever time that I was actually scared of what type of actions Austin Moon was about to perform.

"You can't, Dawson," scoffed the idiot himself. "Besides, what are you afraid of? Last time I checked, you weren't scared of anything." I was stuck. I mentally scolded myself for taking the bastards' crap, but didn't have time to object as Adam let out the loudest laugh ever and stood me up, beckoning for Austin to do the same.

"Right, so Austin, since your the male, you need to pick; Truth Or Dare?"

Austin smirked. He stared right into my eyes and for a tiny moment, I definitely felt nothing else but fear. Everyone in the circle (fourteen classmates and several wasted sophmores) could tell that I was not the confident girl I'd grown up to be. "Dare."

I rubbed my arms uncomfortably, trying to rid of the goosebumps that dared pinch my skin. Adam grinned. "Dare it is then. So, since your the first two people picked, I'll give you a dare that's... special."

"And by that, you mean?" I asked, frowning.

"You two are going to be the first ones to enter Manor House." and with that, Adam drew back the red curtains to reveal the old abandoned manor in front of the party. Rotting wood, mould and peeling paint surrounded the edges. I felt myself calm down a little - it was just an old creaky house with broken floorboards. What was the worst that could happen? "You two will have to sleep in there for at least a week."

"A week?! There'll be no food in there!" Austin whined. I rolled my eyes.

"Pig," sighing, I turned to Adam. "My dad will never agree to that. I mean, a whole week? And c'mon, I already have to spend the whole weekend with him. It's bad enough!"

Adam shrugged. "Sorry, Alls. If you forfeit on a dare, you'll have to do something worse. And anyway, just tell your dad that your sleeping at your friends house. What's her name? Tush?"

"It's Trish," I mumbled. "What about clothes?"

"Okay, fine, fusspot. You can go home when it's day to get clothes. But that's it," he said, walking away. "You two can start the dare tommorow night. It'll be easier to pack what you need for a week. Now, time to spin that bottle."
