Today was supposed to be perfect. I got a date with Seth; so of course, everything is supposed to be absolutely perfect… But no, God feels like making me his entertainment for the evening.

I can see him now, sitting in his personal theater and staring down at me. "Now introducing his Holy Majesty's entertainment for the night. She is getting ready for a date with the boy of her dreams, Seth Clearwater. Give it up for Addie!" Right now, he's laughing at me while he lets everything go wrong. Thanks so much, God. Love you!

My hair was a total mess. My natural curls were all out of place and absolutely horrendous. My makeup actually turned out okay but Dad scared me so my eyeliner went from my eye to my cheek; that had to be fixed. My original outfit shrunk in the dryer so I was forced to find something else to wear. To top it all off, my lucky necklace was missing. Wonderful. Now I just wanted to sit here and cry for all the things that went wrong. The clock beeped at me and I wiped my eyes. Oh no! Seth'll be here soon! I gasped and ran to wash my face and fix my makeup. Then straightened my hair to absolute perfection and left it down. Lastly I changed into the other outfit I picked and smiled at myself. Not bad. I put on some glitter and shine lip gloss; watermelon flavored; Seth's favorite flavor; Yum. I grabbed a random shall-slash-over-coat and walked down the stairs to the living room.

"Oh, you look beautiful sweetheart." My dad said as soon as he saw me. I blushed, shaking my head at him.

"Thanks dad, I'm going to the bonfire with all the guys tonight." I said nonchalantly but inside I was jumping up and down, squealing.

My dad grinned and looked at me with a knowing look. "I hear Seth Clearwater asked you to go with him….as a date?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. You see, my dad was never really the dad-type. He wasn't too overly protective; only if I got hurt, and he liked to tease me about boys instead of warn me against them. He's my dad and I refuse to trade, so there!

I jumped as there was a knock at the door but ran to it quickly and smiled at a shy Seth standing in the doorway. Seth's eyes just about popped out of his head at the sight of me. "A-Addie! Wow… You look amazing…beautiful even." He widened his eyes, realizing what he said.

I giggled, "Oh? Well you look pretty good yourself even if you're wearing jeans and a t-shirt." You could make anything look good.

"After you, my lady." He joked, winking at me. I rolled my eyes but laughed and walked out onto the porch, linking arms with him.

"Why thank you my good man." I replied, tweaking my voice into a British accent.

We laughed and walked down the road to Sam and Emily's since First Beach was right near the house; practically in their front yard. Everyone looked to be down by the fire already so we walked down.

"Heeeey! Addie! Well, well, well. Don't you look pretty tonight? Trying to impress someone?" Paul teased, causing my fiery blush.

"As much as I thank you for that compliment, you are much too cocky for your own good. All this," I said, motioning to myself, "Not for you, my friend." I said, turning his tease back on him and grinned. Everyone laughed, giving me high fives all around. We all began talking, joking around, and eating; more like inhaling for the boys but Seth was being adorably polite while he sat beside me. I smiled at him periodically and actually laid my head on his shoulder for a while as we got comfortable until the serene moment was interrupted.

"Addie, I hate to ask but would you mind walking up to the house to get two more bags of hot dog buns? The boys have practically inhaled all of them." Emily asked politely, giving me a pleading look.

I giggled at her and nodded, standing up and quickly dusted myself off before taking off towards the house. The whole time I hummed a love song, thinking of Seth and couldn't help by smile.

A cold shiver went up my spine; making me feel like I was being watched and followed but I ignored it. It's just your imagination Addie! Stop freaking yourself out. No more horror movies at midnight for you. The wind whistled around me, "Hello love," a voice, way too sweet to be human, whispered. I widened my eyes and moved a little faster.

"Just my imagination…" I kept mumbling to myself, my breath picking up.

"Where do you think you're going?" The voice teased and I froze in place, squeezing my eyes shut for a moment in fear before spinning around to meet the voice. Nothing. Absolutely nothing was there.

"I'm hearing things…" I sighed before turning around and widened my eyes, my heart clenching in terror at the pale-faced, red-eyed man standing right in front of me. I screamed and stumbled back, trying to catch my breath and attempted to run away again but he was in front of me again; he was everywhere. "What do you want from me?!" I yelled, my voice cracking.

"Oh, just a taste…." The man smirked.

"A… A taste?" I asked, swallowing and took in a sharp breath as he got closer, his head moving towards my neck. I could have sworn he smelled me.

"Of you and your delicious blood…" His voice went dark and before he could do anything he was thrown at least twenty feet away. I was thrown to the ground and I gasped for air before looking over to where the man had been thrown to. My eyes widened and my mind whirled out of control, all the thoughts swimming around frantically with no remorse. My eyes gazed upon two horse-sized, wolf-like animals fighting the man with animalistic precision. I felt instantly sick and dizzy. The last thing I remember was the sandy colored wolf coming towards me and….whining? Don't hurt me….please… I pleaded in my head as the world around me faded, turning obscure and only then did my mind shut down.
