Hey guys! Once again, I am sorry for the wait for this chapter! I suck, I know. But here it is now! And I tried to reply to all of you who reviewed, and if I didn't I'm sorry, but here is a thank you now! And to the guest reviews who I can't PM, a special thank you.
On with the story!
Chapter Eleven.
"You are not wearing that." I said to Rayne, who had just throw back the curtain in the changing room to show me her costume.
It was very revealing, and I know it's Halloween so it's basically the only time you can dress as a slut and get away with it, but I still didn't want her wearing it. There is going to be plenty of teenage boys at the party to take advantage of her. Or her to take advantage of them more like.
"Oh, stop being such a mum. It's not that bad." she said very unconvincingly.
I raised my eyebrows at her and she sighed. "Just go try on your outfit."
"Oh, you mean the part you picked out for me? No thanks." I told her, if it was anything like hers, I didn't want to try it on.
"Don't worry, it's not as revealing as mine. I picked it out for you, your style and what you are going as in mind. Try it on, I'm sure you'll love it!" she smiled.
I'm sure I'd hate it. But no harm in trying it on, I guess.
"Fine." I muttered, switching places with Rayne.
But before I closed the curtain, I had a thought that made me turn back to face her. "Do not talk to any strange men while I'm in here, especially in the outfit your in, okay?"
She rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah."
I squinted my eyes at her then closed the curtains. I took a breath, bracing myself for the costume she'd picked. This was only the bit I actually wore on my body, I'd gotten everything else, right down to the contacts. I turned around and I was right, it was revealing. It just looked like sexy lingerie. But, she'd also got a tutu that matched, so I would have something to cover me up a bit at least.
I put it on and unwillingly looked into the mirror, and to my surprise, I did like it. It wasn't as revealing as I thought it was going to be, and the tutu made me feel a whole lot better.
I opened the curtain and Rayne immediately looked up. She gasped and smiled.
"See! Isn't that nice? Completely your style and good for your costume, and sexy, which is the main thing." She said, like she'd proved her point.
I rolled my eyes, and folded my arm awkwardly across my chest, I still felt very exposed. But I guess with everything else I had already bought I would feel better.
"It's not the main thing. It's your main thing, not mine." I muttered.
"Yeah? And what is your main thing?" She asked, just humouring me.
My main thing? Just pissing a certain demon off. I don't know why I wanted to piss him off, maybe because he pisses me off all the time. I probably shouldn't be doing it, I don't think it's the best idea in the world to anger a demon.
I shrugged. I couldn't exactly tell her what my real thing really was. "Scaring people. We need to start setting up as soon as Mum, Dave and Charlie leave if we want to be ready by tomorrow."
It was a lot of work to get it all ready in a day we had to get the scares ready, to make the house look scary, getting food and getting our costumes on, was hard to do in one day, so we always found it easier if we started once mum, Dave and Charlie left.
They always left the day before Halloween and came back the day after Halloween, to give us privacy. Which I am really surprised they do, they clearly didn't trust enough. I guess is just some time for mum and Dave to spend alone. Charlie goes to stay at his friends, he practically lives there.
Then it hit me. That means Rayne and I will be alone in the house tonight. I swear to god, if he tries anything, I am going to kill him.
12:34PM.
Rayne had went to bed long ago, claiming she needed beauty sleep for the party. I, stubbornly, stayed up and finished making the house look scary. Tomorrow I didn't want to be stuck setting up, I wanted to use my time getting ready for the party and somehow convincing Vala to behave, which I highly doubt will happen.
I was going to try and convince him tonight, but he hasn't made an appearance, and I've been along since like ten o'clock. Normally as soon as I was alone, he was here straight away.
I'd been hearing tapping noises, just like when all this shit started, before I knew he was a demon and lusted over me, which I am still not sure is a trick or not, but he hasn't hurt me yet.
But I thought we were above this tapping crap.
I didn't trust this... what was he up to? We were above tapping, but we he certainly wasn't above scaring me. And its now just about half an hour in to Halloween. He was planning something, I know it. Halloween is probably like Christmas to a demon, every scream, fright and gasp a present.
Well, I will not be his present, promise.
A thud came from behind me, and I gasped, that's that promise broken. I turned around, to see a demon head statue thing we'd got from that Halloween shop, on the floor.
I sighed, walking over to it.
"Vala," I started, knowing he would be listening, I'm sure it was him that had knocked it over. "was there any need?"
I bent down and picked it up. I smirked at it, it was an ugly looking thing. Nothing like the Vala, who was undoubtedly attractive. As much as I hated to admit it, he was. But that didn't mean anything, he was still an ass hole of a demon.
Despite that, I had picked this demon head up simply to annoy Vala.
"Kind of looks like you." I muttered, smiling at the statue before placing it back.
I heard his laugh echo around me, but I still couldn't see him.
Behind me, another thing fell over. I smirked, turning around to see what it was this time. But before I had a chance, I heard a smashing noises, my smile fell.
"Valafar, I swear if you have broken one of my Halloween things, I'll kill you." I snapped.
I had spent ages setting all this up, and if he is just going to sit and destroy it all, then who's to say he won't do it tomorrow?
It was a picture, lying face up on the floor only a foot away from me. I frowned, he must have taken the picture from my room since we put them all in there just now so they wouldn't get destroyed at the party.
I picked it up. It was from last years Halloween party, it was Ethan and I, which is I guess why he doesn't like it. I was a corpse bride, or a "sexy" corpse bride as Rayne said she'd made me. He was a cowboy and Rayne had snapped a picture of us.
It was a nice picture, until now. Vala had somehow manages to get under the glass and scratched Ethan's eyes out, scratch the top of the arm that was wrapped around my waist, suggesting that Vala would cut it off if Ethan ever did it again, and scratched three long scratch marks along Ethan's chest.
In this picture, I saw how Ethan would die if he ever came near me. Vala would chop of the arm that touched me, scratch his eyes out, and finally swipe his chest, cutting his heart in half.
I closed my eyes, it was horrible. Why was he doing this? I'd told Ethan to stay away, what else did he want from me?
It was the Halloween picture, I'm sure that meant something... did he was to know if Ethan was stupid enough to make an appearance at the Halloween party, but decided to ask me in the creepiest way possible?
Opening my eyes, Vala was now standing in front of me, his yellow eyes hard and serious.
"I told him to stay away, Vala. He'll stay away."
"Was he invited to the party?" He asked, his voice hard.
"He was, but he's uninvited, remember when he called and I shouted at him." I half snapped. "Why am I even answering your question? You never answered me last night. Are you going to behave?"
"As long as he doesn't turn up, I won't be too bad." He smirked at me again. "Now, if I were you I'd go and get some sleep before I wake you at three in the morning. See you then."
And he disappeared.
"What?" I snapped. "Vala, what does too bad mean? Vala!" I growled.
He was going to make the party like an actual horror film...
I'm sorry it wasn't the party, and that I didn't reveal what she was going as. But I have decided what she will be, thanks to you guys and the next chapter will be the party for sure. As from my other question about the lemon I asked I'd like to thank you for answering it, most of you wanted one. But I still haven't decided yet, so I'm going to wait till the time comes near that, and I will let you know as soon as I have decided! I feel like my writing got sloppy in this chapter, and I'm sorry but I will make it up in the next chapter!
Again thank you all! Hope you enjoyed, I promise the next chapter will be long and very... eventful. Please review :)
