Chapter 22: A Date and Overcoming.
Haley's POV
Sis got out a dress, and handed it to me. I got dressed and walked out. The dark purple skirt stopped just below my knees, showing my silver tights. The top of the dress was black, with spaghetti straps slightly hidden by my hair. A silver dragon wrapped around the waist of the dress, its tail stopping at the hem and the head peaking over my left shoulder. I had dark purple gloves that stopped a few inches away from my shoulders. In order to boost the look, Cindy had even bought me a silver tiara and matching high heels. "Ugh, I hate dressing up." I complain as I try to shield my eyes without a hoodie. "But don't you want to impress Zaaaane~?" Cindy sang as she sat me down in front of her desk. She had flipped over her cork board so it would show the mirror on the back. I snarled as she put on my makeup. When I looked in the mirror, I was shocked that the ugly I usually am, looked like someone who should be on the cover of a magazine. I had on dark purple sparkly eyeshadow, with black mascara and eyeliner. My dark purple lipstick clashed with my pale skin. "Wow..." I mused. "Like," Cindy giggled. "Come on, it's time for your date!" She dragged me to the living room and pointed to the deck. I looked out and saw Zane in a black suit. He was nervously pulling on his white tie. I stepped out, he turned to me and stared. "Uh, hi?" I tried. He seemed to snap our of it, a slight blush creeping onto his cheeks. "I am sorry, Haley," he apologized. "You just look quite attractive in that outfit." I felt my cheeks heat up as I walked over. "Shall we get going?" He nodded and we walked off. I just hope nothing goes wrong...
Zane's POV
I handed the woman the tickets, and we sat down. We ordered and sat in a awkward silence. "So," she started. "Kai gave you the tickets?" I nodded. "It seems they were planing on getting us to date." She blushed a bit. "I'm pretty sure my sis was in on it 'cause this outfit was not in our closet yesterday." "That would seem about right..." she was about to say something as the waiter came out with our food. "Just call me if you need anything." he said and walked away. We both ate in silence, but my sixth sense told me something was wrong. As we finished I signed the check. I checked my built in clock, noting it was only eight o' five. "It is still early, what would you like to do?" I asked. She seemed distant as she answered. "C-can we go to the park...? I nodded and we began the walk to the city park. "I sense something is upsetting you, what is wrong?" I asked. She shook her head. "I'll tell you once we get there." I nodded. She looked to the forest and started walking in that direction. Without thinking, I followed her. "Where are we going?" I asked. Instead of answering, she pushed aside some bushes to reveal a small lake. It looked normal, apart from a few stones over to the left of it. Haley head for it and knelt down near it. I walked and stood over her. I saw that the stones were arranged in a heart, with blue flowers spelling one word. Christopher. Confused, I looked at her. "Christopher... he was our brother... some idiot scientist killed him. When, When..." she could not say it. "When what?" I asked. I looked at her and gasped. Glowing purple marking were climbing up her arms and neck, making their way to her face. "Haley?! What is wrong?!" I asked. She glared at me. "I was injected with serum to boost the powers of darkness passed down from my Mom! Okay!?" I stepped back, and she stood up. Her hair tossed in the wind. But instead of seeing her usually calm face, I saw one full of rage. "Haley... Please calm down..." "Why do you care?!" "Because," I took a deep breath. "Because I love you..." she stood shocked for a minute. Without thinking, I kissed her. It was short because as soon as I became aware of what was happening, I pulled away. I saw the marks started to disappear. "You, you love me?" she asked. I nodded, blushing. She smiled. "I-I love you t-too..." she started glowing a dark purple as she smiled. "W-what's happening?!" "Your true potential!" I called, a huge smile on my face. She fell back down, right into my arms. She smiled at me. "We better get back home before the others suspect anything..." I nodded, but instead of letting her go, I picked her up bridal style and ran through the woods with her. Smiling as she held on.
