I was busy looking through a rack of jeans when Jarrah came up to me holding a white dress. I looked at him like he was crazy.

"Please?" he smiled. "I just wanna see what it looks like on you."

I sighed and took the dress from him and headed for the change rooms. I quickly changed into the dress, and then turned to look at myself in the mirror.

It was gorgeous. It fell mid-thigh and had thin straps. It had a top layer of lace with flowers crocheted into it, but because it was all white it was hardly noticeable.

I walked out to show Jarrah. He was reading a magazine, and looked up to see me standing in front of him. Something in his eyes flashed and I saw a burning hunger.

I grinned. "I'm guessing you like?"

Are you sure you want to take things slow? I can convince the store manager to let us go out back. I heard his voice in my head, a growl of desire following his words.

I laughed and shook my head. I am not even going to comment on that.

"You look... amazing." he barely got out. I could see he was trying not to touch me, because if he did I wasn't sure if he could stop.

"Well I don't know. Maybe if they had it in black..." I started, grinning.

He grabbed me and pulled me onto his lap. He kissed my neck before saying. "I'm buying it, and you're wearing it." I laughed as his lips began to trail kisses along my neck.

"A-hem." we looked up to see a store clerk frowning at us judgementally. "You're going to have to take that somewhere else." she informed us.

I stood up, and was about to yell at her, when Jarrah's hand grabbed my arm. I stopped, letting him talk. "You're right, I'm sorry. We'll take the dress and leave." The clerk nodded before we all moved to the front counter.

Once Jarrah had paid for the dress and apologised again we left.

I turned to him. "Why didn't you let me give her a piece of my mind?"

He laughed. "Because she had every right to do what she did." he shrugged.

The way he was being so casual, I couldn't stay mad at him. I smiled and grabbed his hand, walking along the path in front of all the shops. "Where to next?"

I was sitting on a bench in the kitchen, making stakes. It was so boring when everyone else went to school.

I was basically the only one left at the hotel, besides a couple others. But they slept all day. After all the time I'd spent hunting, I've taught my body to survive on little sleep.

I was just about to pack up for the day when Jack came storming in.

"Aren't you supposed to be at school? You really have to stop leaving early." I shook my head disapprovingly. Yesterday he had come back early to tell me his suspicions about Sam and Jarrah. Now he was furious, I could see that. "What has she done now?" I rolled my eyes.

"She's not at school."

My attention snapped to him. "What?"

"She's. Not. At. School."

"Well where is she?" I jumped off the bench.

"I don't know. But Jarrah isn't there either."

That's all it took. I grabbed my keys off the counter and moved towards the door. Jack was close behind. I got in my car, shoving the keys in. "Get in. Now." I told Jack as I slammed the door.

"What are you going to do?"

"Find her." I said through gritted teeth.

"And how are we going to do that?"

"I'll get it out of the witches. I don't care if I have to torture them, or kill all of them. They'll tell me."

Jarrah had taken me to a formal boutique that I couldn't remember the name of. I stood in front of the dresses, now wearing my new white dress. "They're all so... colourful." I said with distaste.

Jarrah laughed. He was busy looking through the dresses, instead of staring at them in horror like me. "It's just for one night. And we both know that if you show up in jeans and a shirt you'll stick out more."

"I don't just wear jeans and T-shirts. You have seen my in leather pants, corsets, dresses, shorts..."

"Topless." he added with a grin.

I blushed. "Yes, that too."

He came over to me and wrapped his arms around me from behind. He kissed my shoulder before saying. "And you looked more amazing each time. But you can't show up in your normal clothes."

I sighed, leaning against him and fiddling with the hem of on of the dresses in front of me. "I know. But won't everyone else be dressed in traditional clothing? Like wont the witches be dressed all earthy? Shouldn't I do that too?"

"If it was any other ball, yes. But tonight everyone is dressing as normal as possible. It's about uniting the four Night World communities and welcoming new comers. No one will dress like they usually do."

"What are you wearing?" I turned and smiled his arms still around me. I put my arms around his neck, bringing me closer.

He grinned and placed a kiss on my neck again. "A suit." he answered before letting go and looking at the dresses again.

"Is that all you're going to tell me?" I pouted.

He laughed, looking at me. "God, you're adorable." he said before pulling me close and bringing us into a deep kiss.

My mind became a blurry as I moved into the kiss, wanting everything it could bring. My skin began to tingle as a heat rushed over my body. A desire within my core began to burn, wanting him desperately.

Jarrah pulled away and I looked into his eyes disappointed. But I could see he wanted me just as bad. "We can't get kicked out of this shop too." he laughed.

I sighed and took a step back looking at the dresses again. "Why can't I wear a suit?"

Jarrah laughed again, but before he could answer his phone rang. "Hello?" there was some noise on the other side of the phone and he turned to me. "This is really important. I'll be back." he kissed me on the cheek before walking away.

I reached into my hand bag and checked my phone. Seventeen missed calls from Abby. Twenty five missed calls from Jack. Thirty-two missed calls from Miles. I was in big trouble. I quickly dialled Miles, and he answered straight away.

"Where the hell are you?" he snapped, trying not to raise his voice.

"After yesterday I had to get away. I couldn't go to school and deal with Jack and the witches. It's been a big deal, moving here. And I really wanted time to myself. So I went shopping..." I blurted out, rambling on so he wouldn't stay mad.

"Well is Jarrah with you?" he asked, a little more calm, but skeptical.

"No." it wasn't a complete lie. He wasn't with me now. "I haven't seen him since yesterday."

There was a long pause and then Miles sighed. "Fine. But next time call me. We thought he might have hurt you or something."

"I know. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I'll see you at home tonight."

"Okay." I said before hanging up. Jarrah came around the corner then, looking guilty. "What's wrong?"

"That was Thierry. He want's to see me..."

"Why does he want to see you?" I asked nervously. The only reason I could think of was that he found out about Jarrah and me. "I'm not human. We're not breaking any laws..."

"Hey." he pulled me to him and kissed my forehead. I didn't realise I was shaking. "It won't be about that, I swear. I'll be fine." I nodded and he pulled back, I looked up at him. "Go home... to Miles'. Stay there tonight. I'll see you tomorrow. Everything will be fine." he smiled sweetly, but it didn't reach his eyes completely.

I sighed and nodded, knowing there was nothing I could really do. I leaned forward on my toes and kissed him. "I'll see you tomorrow." I said before he left the store...

Well what do you think Thierry wants? Is Jarrah and Samantha's epic love in danger? Will she find a dress? Will Jack ever calm down? Man I'm even getting myself excited :P

Anyway I hope you enjoyed, and don't forget to review :):)

Love and miss you all xox
