That Night

Luna Pov

Stephan made me lead making sure i didn't run away, he looked moodier than normal which is saying something! he looked kind of cute pouting like that with his arms crossed and his burning eyes watching my every move but it only made me laugh more which made him more frustrated.

"Thanks for walking me home stephan." i said politely but cheekily while placing my hands on my hips and smiling widely, looking slightly amused Stephan shook his head and lead me up to the training room where we met my dad again.

Now i'm warn out, it was two against one today and i'll need more practice with that, who said girls can multitask because its a lot easier said than done! Anyway two vampires against one 1/3 witch, little vampire and more human seems a little unfair to me but not to my dad, Stephan seemed to enjoy getting me back for escaping although he didn't pull the same tricks as last time where he pinned me against the wall and floor; i wonder why.

Finally it's time to get ready, deciding to go for the sophisticated but cute look i slipped on a purple floaty dress which ended at my thigh, put on a black blazer and some little heels, leaving my hair as it's normal mess; done.

now the difficult bit, slipping on the dressing gown again i walked out onto my balcany and scanned the garden but found no sign of Stephan everything was how it was meant to be no outline of a man watching me or a pressence, it was meant to be, or maybe he went out hunting? taking in a deep breath i dropped the gown and hung onto the slightly cold railings and swung on to the branche of the nearby tree, climbing down agilely i crouched at the bottom behind some bushes, i must say i am impressed, i did not scuff up my outfit and no hair fell out of place; perfect!

Now it will all be for nothing if i get caught now, I walked casually around the outskirts of the garden, ignoring the feeling to run as it would only make me look more suspicious if somebody was watching, each second felt like a minute and each minute felt like ten, I found myself running out of the gate and through the alleys as excitement replaced the anxious feelings i had growing in the pit of my stomache.

Letting my arms swing beside me as i navigated myself along the directions Stacey gave me earlier that day i had a bit of doubt she was completely right but none the less i memorized street names and headed in the direction she told me to, after a while i could hear the thump of an amp and sighed in relief as i could now follow this, the thump had now turned into music, i followed the shrill screaches of excited and drunk girls, almost there!

Finally i could see the house, it was quite a big house; smaller than mine but big for human standard, it had the average victorian look, brick front, black gates, big windows. Walking closer i could now see outlines there was a gang of boys shouting in drunken speach at eachother non following through with what they were threatening, across from them was a small outline that i guessed was a girl, she seemed to be crouching over someone and i could smell the vile stench of sick, by what i guessed was the front door was a group of people, some talking, some smoking something i knew they were either to young for or was illegal but hey its a party might as well, pushing through the gang i found myself in a big room full of people dancing, some with the music but most at their own pace as they had drunk too much to care, others were embarrasing themselves, they had gone too far to care what they could be doing or what onslaught they would get the next morning.

"Luna?" I heard a high pitched squeal and i turned just in time to see Stacey bounding towards me, grabbing and suffocating me in her arms and then she was hysterically laughing in my ear

"did i miss much?" I asked trying not to laugh at my drunken best friend, ignoring me she shoved some alcoholic substance in to my hand and ran off to someone she saw coming through the door, looking at the drink i thought why not? i would just get drunk enough to get a buzz and a little tipsy but i'll sober up by the time i get home, unscrewing the lid I lifted the drink to my mouth and gulped the sour tasting thing down.

I have drunk too much! It was hard to focus, i had no idea what the time was but i guessed it was pretty late, stumbling out of the 'dancing room' I was now in a much calmer atmosphere and plonked myself down onto the sofa beside a couple who were making out clumsily and quickly, as soon as i saw an article of clothing being removed i hauled myself back up again and walked through the house,

"why is it whenever your drunk you go wandering off by yourself?" I heard a masculine voice say i tried to push through the dizzyness to place the voice but couldn't, looking up i saw my 'little' Ell Bell, smiling sheepishly at him I kept walking, "hey!" he called but i quickly lost him not looking forward to the lecture i was sure he would give me both when he finds me and tomorrow morning when i had a hang over, bursting through another door i felt the night breeze swirl around me calming me down, not caring i sat on the slightly damp grass and looked at my bare feet; darn i loved them shoes!

coughing made me jump and i attempted to lift my head up but found myself lying on the ground instead while looking up, and there he was! my beautifully hot bodyguard.

"Steeeephan." i smiled stupidly while he looked at me like i was insane, "who said you were invited?" I stuck out my tongue and closed my eyes.

"how much have you drank?" he asked proffesionaley like this wasn't the first time he caught me drinking,

"I don't know, I lost count after my sixth." I sighed enjoying the feeling of floating in the air when really i was laying on the muddy wet grass. That was until of course i heard somone cracking up, wincing a little i looked to my right to see Stacey with her arms around Elliot who looked like he was holding her up.

"Luna is BUSTED!" She screached at the top of her lungs making me laugh slightly at her "by her extremely hot bodyguard!" now i stuck my bottom lip out defensively as i looked up at the 'extremely hot bodyguard' who had one of his eyebrows arched in a suggestive kind of way and his lips had curved into a crooked smile,

"extremely hot." I agreed knowing i would regret it, especially when Stephan burst out laughing, i wasn't good at people laughing at me especially if i'm drunk so i kicked him in the shin; which probably hurt me more than him, hauled myself up and walked dizzily back into the house where it seemed quieter for some reason.

Confused but not having enough common sense i crashed into the main room, i had to have two glances to realize what was going on, not many people were hear anymore, two reasons for that, one - it was time to be going, 2- there were fucking vampires here! I could see the blood on the furniture, on their elongated canines, ghostly pale people floating around the room, some licking their lips at me others finishing off with their meal, scared and knowing i was in no state to fight i stalked backwards already knowing they had already seen me and it was too late.

"where do you think your going?" a deep voice purred behind me sexually while snaking his arm around me to stop me from escaping, i felt his 'teeth' prick my neck and his hand tightened forming bruises on my hip, his claws lengthened and dug into my skin and that was it, outraged i screamed and threw things at him and every evil vampire in sight, telekinesis! using the heat energy from the lights i transported it to burn my captor with until he was screaching instead, some vampires had ran not looking for a fight but others stayed looking at me venemously,

just as i was about to push my newly found witch abilities to the maximum i heard a deafening, ferocious growl, two bodies slumped to the floor others were clutching where limbs once where and the rest had ran, confused as i didn't see what happened i scanned the room finding Stephan setting vampire bodies alight with a gleaming silver lighter, his fangs had grown, his hair took on more of a red tint, his body crouched to attack, his eyes now a hungry black shade kept flickering to me, my neck, my hip.

"Stephan?" I called feeling unsure, his deathly looking night eyes snapped up from where my blood was seeping in to my clothes and up to my face just in time to see me loose conciousness, "sorry." i whispered out.

Stephan Pov

Shit! I just went out for a few hours to feed, came back to a quiet house and an empty bedroom, tracked her scent to a house full of drunk adolescents and find her sitting in their garden staring at her bare dirty feet. Why didn't i follow her straight away? No first i had to order her friends home then when i did finally get around to finding her she had a male vampire bending over her, his claws in her hip and his teeth slowly and tautingly piercing the skin on her neck.

She was so unpredictable and astonishing, I was suprised by her witch side coming out so quickly and fiercly as she attacked the other vampires, most were scared off by her but anger took over me letting out a mennacing growl i attacked the ones left, ripping of heads, arms i'll admit i did enjoy it but her scent was tantalizing me, i could not stop my eyes from glancing at her blood stained neck without seeing me complete the others job, a little bit wouldn't hurt? No, I could not do that now! lowering my eyes in disgrace i saw the pale skin on her hip from where the dead vampires claws had been, i could see the crimson oozing blood flowing out of the deep cuts and down her body... No.

"Stephan?" I looked up worried to her pale little face just in time to see her misty eyes roll back, without even thinking i was across the room craddling her in my arms, "sorry." it was almost incomprehensible, why is she passing out? from drink or blood loss? Picking her up in my arms i took one more gasp of the air intoxicated with her vanilla fragrance, i felt it burn down my throat, inticing the demon and my eyes grew darker, holding my breath i sprinted back to her house, through the front door and to find her guardians.
