The night was still young, well not really but Eveonna new several clubs that never closed. And after a night like this she could use some fun on the dance floor. She stopped back at her car and changed into an outfit that was more … suitable. Dark blue shirt low cut and trimmed in black lace, Black stilletoe boots, and a long black skirt. She was glad she always had extra clothes on hand.
Arrow's Heart, was one of the most popular clubs in town. You had to know the right people to get in. Which was one of the best points about it. No overcrowding or gresy old guys hitting on you. Just smoke, lights, music, and plenty of dance floor. Eveonna felt it was worth the irritation of waiting in line for this club. Even her cousin had to wait in line and she was the president's daughter. Once inside it was all fun though.
"Excuse me Miss?" Eveonna turned to see a young man with silver hair looking down at her.
"Loire." She answered in a honey coated voice. He was kind of cute despite the odd hair color.
His smile widened. He had beautiful smile she realized. "Loire? Do expect me to believe that you're the president's daughter?"
Eve laughed. "Well Sugar, you can believe whatever you want, but my name is Loire. Skylla is my cousin."
"Right." He said not believing her. "Well then we should have no problem skipping to the front of the line."
"My cuz, might have those kind of connections but I don't. I wait…like normal people."
The man circled around her looking her up and down. "Hmmm, nope. You see…you…are definitely not a normal girl. So you see, you shouldn't be here. You should be in there."
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of line. "Hey!" she yelled. "Crazy…what are you doing?"
The man went straight up to the bouncers who where heavily armed. "Gentleman, I'm afraid we have a problem. I found this beauty in line. I demand you let us in at once!" Both the bouncers just stared at him. Eve was defiantly put out. The young man scratched his chin. "Oh wait I see the problem. It's your voice. You haven't wrapped them in your spell. Tell them to let you in."
"I'm going to go back…"
"Just do it."
With a sigh Eve looked the bouncers in the eye. "Let us through gentlemen."
Both bouncers bowed and unhooked the velvet rope.
Eve tried to prevent her jaw from dropping. The young man held out his arm and escorted her inside. Whoever he was, he was a great date for the evening. Soon she forgot herself. How long had it been since she felt this kind of happiness. Childish delight. And the evening was filled with plenty of magic. Suddenly the DJ and staff knew her and where all to happy to get her anything see needed. And the young man was a fabulous dancer. Perfect company. Soon the night was drawing to an end for her though. She had work she had to get back too. Still she stayed for a slow dancer.
"What is your name?" She whispered into his ear.
He took her had in his and smiled. "Alexander."
Eveonna nodded. "It fits you. I'd swear you were an Angel."
"Maybe I am. Dancing with you I swear I could fly." He moved down to kiss her but a man came from behind.
A club bouncer. "Boss, he's here. We need you to come."
The look that crossed Alexander's face was close to pain. "I'm coming." he dismissed the man.
"Boss?" Eveonna asked taking a step back.
"Eve, don't think that I just pick pretty girls out of the line to dance with. You're special."
Eve laughed and took a step back. "Of course I am." She said sarcastically.
"I mean it, you're…"
She raised one finger and put it over his lips to shush him. "I'm just another pretty girl. And this pretty girl likes to pick out pretty boys and spend the night with them. It's not about you. It never was."
"Eve…"
"Fly away Alexander." And with that Eveonna left the Arrow's heart and it's owner behind.
Her GF said to her.
Eveonna laughed. Why not? It was a night for odd encounters.
Torrin walked through the mall's parking ramp happily. Shopping always made her feel happy. She didn't get to do it a lot since she was so busy. The year was going great. Her and Dex had kissed and made up. Sky and Damon where hitting it off. Together they all where up to the same old tricks. Breaking curfew, Spying on meetings, and the like. Oh it was fun!
Torrin placed her bags into her silver convertible's back seat. Once they were secure she got in and started engine using her voice. Instead of just starting though the car shifter into reverse and pulled out of the park space. "What the hell!?!" Torrin switched on manual control and tried to stop the car. However it had a will of it's own. It started racing out of the ramp and on to the busy streets. Torrin swallowed as she swiped cars left and right going faster then a hundred. She was in deep trouble.
She cried in her head hoping there was something the GF could do.
Torrin scramble over the seats trying to open the doors. She was wishing her car didn't have bullet proof windows. As it was they refused to open, just like the doors. She clawed at the top. Maybe she could find something sharp to rip it open.
Torrin looked up to see the corner café where she was suppose to have met everyone. Cassandra, Skylla, Damon and Dex all were talking and had no idea what was about to happen. They were all sitting at a table on the outside on the veranda. The car was headed straight at them. Torrin laid on the horn till they looked up. Then seeing she had done all she could she dunked down on the seat. Vines wrapped around her and all she knew went to darkness.
Dex was coming back from picking up Torrin's dry cleaning, getting her car washed, standing in line to get her a new album and had found the research she needed for her report on the first sorceress war. He was exhausted. This is what came from making bets. Yesterday he had bet Torrin he could get to the bottom of the climbing structure before her. He would have won too, but she cheated. Part way to the bottom about two stories up she had cut her lines and fell. With a swift roll she was able to avoid all injury but Dex had lost the bet. So he was stuck running errands for the day. Not what he wanted to be doing at all.
Still everyone was excited so he couldn't be to unhappy about it. Yesterday Squall had called them all to his office. They where going to take the SeeD examination early. It was the perfect opportunity and Squall didn't want to pass it up. SeeD examines where hard to come by. SeeDs had to be tested in really situations, but it was hard to find clients willing to risk there money on students that might not succeed. Still Cassandra, Damon, Tor, Sky and him, along with a SeeD instructor where going. Dex arrived at the little outdoor café a bit late. Everyone except Torrin was already there.
"Hey." Skylla said lifting up her sunglasses and flashing him a smile.
Cassandra pulled out the chair next to her. "Sit down, order a drink, anything you like."
Damon was leaning back in his chair as he laughed. "Cassandra betted me she could get our drinks for free by flirting with waiter."
Dex sat down and took a look at the menu. "Trust me Damon, Never bet with a women. It always leads to trouble."
Cassandra smiled evilly. "You're just saying that cause you lost the bet with Tor."
"She cheated!" Dex shouted but it was drowned out by an odd sound.
"Everybody down!" Damon shouted grabbing Sky.
Dex lunged and covered Cas as a car took out their table and collided with a lamp post. Around the people screamed. Everything was confusion at first. A couple people were hurt. An ambulance and the police were being called. No one seemed to be hurt though. He himself had a few cuts. Getting up he helped Cassandra to her feet. The Silver car was a wreck. Wrapped completely around the post. Steam hissed from it's engine. You couldn't even see the passage or driver's seat.
Damon and Sky came over to where he stood. Damon cursing. "Who would be such and idiot as to drive their car into a restaurant!"
"I don't think they where driving." Sky pointed out. "The police will handle them. They're probably dead. I don't know who could survive that."
"Yeah." Dex agreed but something was bothering him.
"Maybe they lost control." Commented Cassandra.
"I don't care! You think they would have tried to hit something else besides…" but Damon let the sentence trail off.
"What is it?" Skylla asked concerned by the look of horror on his face. "Damon?"
Dex turned and looked at the car. This time really looked. His stomach turned and it took all his will power not to throw up as he recognized Torrin's car. He had just cleaned it after all. In a flash the group was working together to tear apart the twisted metal. With their GF's it went quickly but the sight they saw scared him. Torrin laid across both seats wrapped in vines and bleeding from her mouth. It wasn't an accident. Someone had tried to kill them, and they might have succeeded…maybe they had.
