Chapter 3
So this has not been updated in over a year…. Well, I think I need to do something about that. I will tell you I hit a rather big writer's block with this story and didn't bother trying to overcome it, but never mind I'm here now.
Disclaimer: Mine. All mine. Nothing is yours and if you steal it I will find out because I read enough fanfics to find you. Thanks.
I hope you like it! xxx
Jinx and I found a table to eat and sat down. "So, come on. Tell me. Who gave you that incredible black eye?" I asked, as I was unable to take my eyes off it the whole time we had been together.
"Can't you guess?" He asked, and I knew who had done it.
"Why? And why was he lacking war wounds? Did you not punch him back twice as hard?" I watched as he began laughing and I found myself joining in.
I looked up when I heard someone pull out the chair next to me. "What's so amusing?" I glared at the boy that I ditched in French class, but he just smirked at me.
"We was discussing how, because Jinx didn't, I think I should punch you in the face." I said, but he only laughed, which irritated me. I stood to slap him but he grabbed my wrists while standing at the same time. He pulled me towards him which made it look like we were hugging, so the students around us wouldn't think anything was wrong.
He leaned down to my ear and I felt my body stiffen, with some irrational fear. "Not here. Not now. Calm down." I felt my muscles relax unwillingly, but my heartbeat rose further. He lifted his head and turned me towards the door. He walked me outside. As soon as he let me go, I turned and slapped him. His head snapped to the side on impact, and I watched as he slowly turned back to me. And he looked royally pissed.
My body was telling me to run, but before I had the chance I found my arms in a vice like grip. I looked up at Demetrius' smiling face and I felt terror grip my body almost as tightly as he was. Despite this I found some courage to speak, "Let me go." I said through gritted teeth. However, all he did was smile wider.
"Do you really want that, Sophie?" He asked and pulled my body flush against his. I knew I was blushing a very red colour, and my mind was racing at an inhuman pace.
"I-I-" was all I was able to stutter.
"Enough." A new voice sounded, and I felt my blush deepen as I realised who it was. "No frolicking on school grounds." Mr Pitcher said. I was still being held to Demetrius and I was unsure if he would actually let me go. "Now, Mr Knight." I looked up at my captor and watched him smile at me before letting me go.
"See you soon, babe." He said with a wink before leaving. How the hell was I supposed to respond to that? I was surprised my legs were still keeping me upright.
I must have been standing there for a few minutes because now there were students pooling around me, signaling that lunch had finished. "Soph?" I looked and saw Carly coming up to me. "Where were you at lunch?"
"I…erm." It felt like when you wake up and you feel like details of your dream are slipping away. "I had lunch with Jinx, I think." I said earning a look from my friend.
"You think?"
I furrowed my brows trying hard to remember the entirety of what had happened that lunch, but it seemed to go blank after I sat down at the lunch table with Jinx. "Yeah. I can't really remember. I definitely sat with him in the cafeteria. Knowing me I probably fell off my chair and hit my head or something." I said trying to rationalise, but that didn't even make sense as to why I was outside alone. However, I let it drop.

Demetrius p.o.v
"I thought I should make it clear to all of you," I said, addressing the entirety of my clan in my large ball room. Why had I let Jinx claim it was his house? He didn't need more opportunity to spite me. "I stake claim to Sophie Hunt. She is mine." Looking directly at Jinx I spoke, "It seems that some of you have no respect for your elders, even when punished, and so I felt as though formalities were inorder."
I was approached by my butler. Well, I think humans prefer that term now, but really he is a servant – slave, technically. He does not get paid. "They're ready, sir." He whispered in my ear, and I smiled maliciously.
"Now." I gestured grandly to where humans were being pulled into the room by my other servants. "Let's eat."
I watched as my brothers and sisters feasted. "Sir?" I looked and saw Serena. The stupid girl from this town Terrance had decided to turn. Idiot.
"What?" I narrowed my eyes at her, showing my dislike. She was an ass kisser, without the desire of getting to the top. She just wants to be close to the person at the top. If she devious enough to be top dog, then I still probably wouldn't like her, but I may have some respect. But no. She wants to be the woman behind the man. Grow a pair girl.
I looked at the slight concern in her face that she was trying to conceal. "What are you going to do with Sophie?" She asked.
Oh, now that was something I hadn't thought of. My lips curved at the possibilities. "Make her scream." I said simply, and walked towards the human my clan had left for me. I watched as she fell to her knees before me, knowing her fate.

Sophie p.o.v
"Mom!" I shouted down the stairs. "Have you seen my cream blouse with the pink buttons?" I had been running around my room in my bra and black skinny jeans for the past fifteen mins looking for it.
"I have definitely ironed it!" She called back. "If it's not in your wardrobe check your dad's. I might have accidentally put it with his work shirts."
I ran to my parents' bedroom and rifled through my dad's wardrobe. I found it and attempted to pull it out, but it seemed to be stuck. I shoved clothes out of the way to see what it was stuck on and saw that the two boards at the back of the wardrobe had my blouse captive. Tugging wasn't helping, so I tried to push the two boards away from each other which did the trick. However, it also revealed a hidden compartment. Such a compartment would be ideal for weapons and things of the sort, but do you know what I found? Books. Nothing exciting. No passage to Narnia. Just books. Old, dirty ones. Some with half of their covers missing. But obviously I was not supposed to know it was there so upon hearing someone walking up the stairs I shoved the boards back together, and put some of the clothes back to cover it. Quickly shoving on my blouse before my dad walked into the room.
"You found it then."
"Yeah. You're not hoarding any of my other clothes are you dad?" I said with a smile to which he laughed. He pulled out one of his work shirts and a pair of trousers. "You got to go into work? It's Friday night."
He looked a little annoyed, "I know. They called me in and said that Steve couldn't make it to sort out the papers for Monday, and they really need doing. Hopefully I won't be too late, but we'll see. Where are you off to?"
"We're just going to chill at Ciaran's. Watch movies, order pizza."
"Carly coming here first and you girls going to walk over together?"
I rolled my eyes and smiled to let him know I was joking, "Yes, dad. Don't worry."
He held up a red tie and a blue tie, "Which one?" I pointed at the red one, it went best with his dark hair. "I'll drop you guys over if she's here in the next half an hour."
Carly arrived in ten minutes, and my dad did drop us off at Ciaran's. We walked in and Sarah was sitting on the sofa watching some crappy show, which she looked utterly bored with. Ciaran walked in the room then and spoke words that shocked me, "So are we going then?"
"Wait I thought we were having a movie night with pizza?"
"Sorry, Soph." I turned to Carly when she spoke. "I knew if I said then you'd tell your parents and they wouldn't let you come."
My brows furrowed in confusion. "Where are we going?"
"There is this sick new club, and we're going to go and check it out." Ciaran answered.
"But we're not old enough to get into a club." I replied.
"No, my friend went to this place last week and he said they don't even check IDs."
"And he said it was good?" I questioned Ciaran.
He hesitated, "No, he said he can't remember much of being in there. He must have been sooo drunk…." I watched as Ciaran thought about what he had just said. "Come to think of it, Mark doesn't really drink. But whatever. It is supposed to be awesome! We have to go."
I could tell I wasn't going to be able to convince my friends not to go, so I went along with it. "Fine, let's party."
###
Upon arrival at the club, we were made to wait in a long queue with people that look like their ages ranged from 15-45. This is not what I would have thought of as a 'sick' club in any capacity. I guess I would have to wait and see if it got better inside.
When we finally got inside I was already unhappy about the ridiculous entrance fee that I wasn't even in the mood to dance to the variation of music that was being played.
"Soph, what's up?" Carly asked.
I looked at her incredulously. "Seriously?" I raised an eyebrow at her. "On what planet is this a cool club? There are 40year old men trying to get off with 20 year old girls, the music is all over the place – like pick a genre –" I screamed in the direction of the DJ and was shocked when he turned and looked at me with a glare, but carried on with my rant anyway. "I could buy a small diamond ring for how much I paid to get in here – okay, slight exaggeration but still. And where are Ciaran and Sarah?" I asked looking around. I couldn't see them anywhere. The place had really filled up now, thus any hope of maneuvering around to find them was lost.
"SOOOOO!" I heard someone shout over the microphone. "YOU HUMANS CAME TO PARTY! AS DID WE!" The voice said, just as the balcony that surrounded the dancefloor was suddenly teaming with people. I watched as they jumped, but instead of falling they soared through the air and evenly distributed themselves all throughout the dancefloor. I was certain that I should be scared because people shouldn't do that – and they also shouldn't have canines that long, or eyes that almost glow – but I wasn't. I was oddly calm. As though this was normal. However, when one of them landed next to Carly and started chatting her up, I kicked into action. Not sure if it was me merely being the friend that cockblocks her friend's because girls got each other's back like that, or because I could somewhat sense danger and they were it.
"Hi!" I said in a cheery voice to the guy, who gave me daggers. "Carly, I think Ciaran and Sarah are at the back."
"And what's your name?" The male changed his attitude immediately when he realised I was taking away his girl.
"I'm really sorry but we need to find our friends." I said.
He looked me dead in the eye, "No you don't." Suddenly I didn't feel like finding Ciaran or Sarah anymore.
"No we really do." I felt my self being dragged away by Carly but I was still looking at the eyes of the guy who we were talking to. It wasn't until I couldn't see him anymore did I become more myself. "What a creep." Carly said to me as she scanned the crowed for our friends. "Oh my god."
"What?" I asked jumping up, because I couldn't see anything. Today would have been a good day to wear my heals, but I hadn't planned on going out so I was sporting some flats.
She looked back at me. "I think we need to leave."
"Why would you leave the party's only just started?" I turned and saw the guy we had left back on the side of the dance floor.
I narrowed my eyes and tried to square off to the much taller man. "Listen here. I am not in the mood to deal with crap like this today. So just go away." He started laughing at me. I knew I was not extremely intimidating but don't laugh at me.
"I see why he likes you." I was confused but I kept the scowl on my face. "Spirit is fun to break." He laughed and walked away from me. I watched as he approached the DJ booth and indicated to me.
The next thing I knew everyone was outside and no one remembered what had happened. Everyone remembered they had a good time but nothing about the club itself. Not even what it looked like inside. I was so confused. This was the second time I had lost memories seemingly without cause. However, no one else questioned it, so I didn't.
Ohhhh….what's going on now? So much happened, didn't it? I thought it was decent considering how long I have had writer's block :')
R&R please. When I get them it really does encourage me to try and write me. Just sayin'.
Thanks xxx
