8. Well, what do we have here?

Amira took her hand and peeled the cold fingers that rested on her shoulder. She slowly turned around and faced Kai.

"Kai.." she mumbled.

"I told you to stay out of my life! What part of that didn't you understand?" he barked, making her jump back and stare at him in horror.

"I-I'm here with Tala." She replied coolly, trying to keep up her composure.

"How do you know Tala Valkov?"

"Uh…" How was she going to explain this one to him? He stared at her coldly, making her shiver all over. She gulped and then tried to reply. "I'm-uh-that is, I'm living in an apartment that this father owns."

"The one down the street?" he remarked with much sarcasm.

"Uh-yes?" she quickly answered. Kai just shook his head, tutting at her. He then brushed passed her and opened the glass door. She saw him walk to his group, Kate squealing with delight. He turned to face Amira, and beckoned Kate to link arms with him. He then continued to stare emotionlessly at her, through the door.

'Why is he doing this to me? He knows its breaking my heart.' She thought, moving over to the wall and resting upon it, also on the floor. She buried her head in her hands and let out a soft sob, which was shortly interrupted.

"Amira, you got to help me!" Tala screamed in her face, getting her out of her trans. She looked in horror at him, not knowing what was going on. He grabbed her hand and dragged her to the living room, where he shooed some teens that were making out to move over and they both sat down.

"What's wrong with you?" she screamed back, making Tala cover her mouth with his own hand.

"That…" he pointed to the patio. "Is what is wrong." She gazed out the window. Instantly, she saw Louisa, drunk as a drunk on Christmas, and that was pretty bad. She was stumbling around, knocking into many groups of people, and yelling out Tala's name in a drunken tone.

"I think she likes you." Amira giggled. Tala just glared at her.

"No shit, Amira. She's like a stalker." He continued to glare, but finally softened up. In the next instant, he swore under his breath. Amira looked up, and saw that Louisa had spotted her dreamboat. "Quick, find me a place to hide."

"Where? I don't know this house!" she glared. He just shrugged in response.

"Don't worry, anywhere will do, just get me out of her sight. Maybe we can go upstairs." He grabbed her arm and ran through the crowds and quickly ran up the stairs. Lucky for her, Amira tripped on the third step.

"Go on, save yourself!" she mocked in a soldier in the war voice, making the other Russian laugh. He nodded and continued running upstairs.

Finally on her feet, she made her way to the second storey.

"Where did he go?" she wondered, checking all of the doors that she passed. She slowly opened the last door down the hall, assuming Tala was in that one because there were no sounds of grunting coming from there. (Remember, it's a teen party. There is a lot of making out going on!) When she saw that the lights were off, and there was no sound, she made her way inside and closed the door almost silently. She started to scan the walls for a light switch, when she heard something click. She turned around and saw that three girls were in a circle, around a bunch of little essence candles.

The first girl was holding the lighter. She had shoulder length hair that was light brown at the roots, and got lighter to blond near the tips. She wore tight-fitted jeans, and a dark red tank top.

The second girl had light brown short hair, and looked innocent. She wore jeans and a fine trimmed white t-shit/blouse, which seemed to suit her. She also had a necklace on a gold chain that had a white lily in the center.

The third girl was the one that surprised Amira the most. She had long black hair that reached down her back, and long bangs that almost covered eyes. She wore a red corset top, which showed off a bit of her stomach. She wore dark, dark blue jeans that looked black from a distance. To top it off, she matched it all with black knee length boots and a red choker around her neck. She seemed to be in a deep trans, whereas the other two girls stared at Amira, wide-eyed.

"Who are you?" the first girl questioned, putting down the lighter, and beckoning her to come sit down, which she did without much argument.

"I'm a friend of Tala's. I'm renting out that apartment that his father left open."

"Oh, we were wondering who would eventually rent that place out." The second girl smirked, tying her hair back and concentrating on the candles.

"So, why aren't you drunk and making out yet?"

"It's not my style." Amira answered quietly. She didn't want to go out of the room just yet, knowing she would run into Kai again.

"Good for you. Is Lisha having fun? Getting laid and drunk?" the thought had never occurred to her. Lisha never seemed like that type of person.

"No, not that I know of."

"Well that's a new one." The first girl remarked. "What a new record for my sister."

"She's your sister?" Amira asked, dumbstruck.

"Yeah, unfortunately. Oh, my name is Artemis, or Arty. She's Camille." Artemis pointed out the second girl, who waved cheerfully. "That over there is Jamie Rose. She's not completely dark, even though she gets into some of these things every once in a while." Arty pointed to the candles.

"So what are you guys doing anyways?"

"Spiritual stuff." Camille answered slowly.

"Like?" Amira was getting interested, even though she usually didn't listen to this kind of stuff.

"We are asking spirits some questions, and stuff like that." Jamie Rose finally answered, and Amira stared at her wide-eyed. She lifted her head, and shed the bangs from her eyes, showing off a very friendly smile, which seemed to relieve the tension.

"You can come join us if you want. I think it's better than anything that is going on outside." Arty smiled, beckoning her to join the circle.

"Now, we need to know if you know everything. Have you met everyone attending this party?" Jamie Rose asked, waving her finger through the feeble flame of the center candle. Amira nodded slowly and continued to stare down at the flame. "Let's see, have you met Kate Ukashi?"

This made Amira's blood boil, but only in the slightest. She hated that name with a passion, and always got a bad reaction when she heard it. She tried to get herself back together and nodded once again.

"The bitch." Arty whispered. Camille gasped and covered her friend's mouth.

"Artemis Makenovska! That's no way to speak about people!" she said in a mock mother voice, making all of the girls laugh. Arty ripped her friend's hand off and tried breathing for air.

"I'm just speaking the truth! It's truly what she is." She smiled, making Amira giggle. All of the girls laughed because they knew that the fact was true.

"Well, we were asking some spirits if they thought that Kai was doing the right thing, because we don't think so." Camille argued.

Was everybody against this marriage? Maybe if Amira got enough people together, she could make Kai see that Kate wasn't for him, she was.

"I see, did they respond at all?" she asked curiously.

"Not yet." Jamie Rose responded, drooping her head back in disappointed.

"I know! Maybe we could conjure some kind of jinx or curse on her." Arty piped up. She looked over and saw that Amira was grinning evilly. "What are you so happy about?"

"No, I love the idea. I was thinking, maybe find a jinx that would make her do stupid things. Like trip in the pool, soaking and ruining her expensive clothes, and when the food is served, she vomits all over everyone, especially Kai." She cackled.

"Hey, I like that idea." Camille smiled, giving Amira a good handshake. They all looked at Jamie Rose, who was searching through what looked to be, an old spell book. She had found the right page, and so the chant began.

After chanting the special phrases and while, they all held hands and waited for a response from the spirits. All they got was the window opening restlessly and the cold wind blowing in, making them all shiver.

"Well, now all we have to do is wait." Camille grinned. Just then, the door swung open, revealing a very frustrated Lisha.

"Amira! I've been looking all over for you! Have you been in here the whole time?"

"Yeah." She answered sheepishly, nodding as she did so.

"Well, come on, the food is about to be served. Everyone has been looking for you." That made the girl slightly blush, considering that everyone was looking for her. Lisha pulled her off of her feet and dragged her out the door. On her way out, Amira waved to the other three girls, who cheerfully waved back, before closing the door.

"What were you doing with my sister and her friends?" she asked, awaiting the answer.

"Uh, my and Tala were playing hide and seek." What else could she think of at this point?

"Oh, sure you were." Lisha winked, making the other girl very uncomfortable. They made their way downstairs and went into the backyard.

"There you are! Where did you go?" Tala asked, running up to Amira. She looked at him quizzically.

"Oh! I found you! Ha, great game eh?" This seemed to raise a lot of eyebrows.

Amira slowly turned around and saw Jamie Rose, Camille and Arty standing in the doorway, smiling evilly at her. She smiled back and awaited the hamburgers and hot dogs.

"Let the fun begin."
