Chapter 6

JENN~

"Take this." I placed a box in the taller girl's hands.

Her blue eyes stared at it as if it contained something suspicious. "What's in it?"

I giggled at her expression. "I can't tell you, but it's very important to someone." The girl didn't seem to trust me. "I need to leave but I want you to put this on the stage." Then I felt my ears twitch slightly. My head quickly turned to the right corner of the stage where I could spot Darren spying on me. I immediately ran out of the theater and into the lobby. I tried to make a break for the front doors but he caught hold of my arm. Next thing I knew, I was looking straight into the face of and angry Darren.

"Where were you?" His voice was harsh and sounded very strict but I could sense a little worry.

I gave him an innocent smile. "Darren!" But it didn't lighten his mood. He slammed me once more into the wall, his grip tightening around my wrist. My ears shot up, surprised by his motive.

He growled, "What are you?"

Now I was afraid to upset him any further but I didn't understand what he meant. "What do you mean 'What are you?'"

"I mean, are you a cat?" Darren smirked as he eyed the two black ears twitching on top of my head.

I tried to hold back my laughter. "No, silly, I'm a human/vampire/fox hybrid."

"What?!" he exclaimed, dumbfounded. "That can't be possible!"

"Well…," I began to explain but was suddenly interrupted by a loud piercing scream in the theater. The doors burst open and people came running out screaming in horror. Luckily, their entrance was blocked by Mr. Tall who stood his full height in front of the two double doors.

"No one may leave until the show is over!" his voice boomed over the cries of the frightened crowd.

I was curious about what happened in the theater so I ran inside.

"Jenn! Wait!" Darren called out after me.

The first thing I saw was Evra's large snake with the bright blue eyed girl unconscious in its jaws. I quickly glanced over to the stage and saw the cloth covered box exactly where I wanted it to be. Evra shined a bright flashlight into the face of his snake. It froze as if it was in a trance. Evra then hissed and the snake dropped the girl and slithered to Evra's side. Darren and I immediately rushed over to check the girl.

"Is she alright?" Evra asked right after he put his snake away. Her chest was still moving up and down, so she was breathing.

"Yeah," I replied. "She's okay."

"What was in that box you gave her?" The question came from Darren.

I blushed and looked away from Darren's face. "Dead rats."

"What?!" Darren was mad. "You idiot! Why would you need dead rats?!"

"Stop yelling at me!" I screamed back. "Besides, Evra told me he needed them!"

"Evra?" he looked at Evra in shock. "You knew where she was?"

Evra had a guilty look on his face. "Sorry, I ran out of food for my snake and she told me not to tell you."

Suddenly I was being dragged out of the theater. I turned to see Darren pulling my arm.

"Where are you going?" Evra called out as soon as he realized what was happening.

"Well be back later," he replied in an emotionless tone.

"Well, what am I supposed to do with this girl?"

Darren paused. "Since it was your snake, why don't you take care of her?" Then he stalked out the theater through the crowd as I impatiently followed.

What's wrong with him? Why is he being so cold? He had a pained expression on his face. His hands were balled into fists. We were away from the crowd and no longer in the theater and still Darren hasn't spoken.

"Darren, what's wrong? Why-"

"Answer my question first," his tone sounded irritated. He still didn't turn to face me.

"What?" I never heard him use this tone. I found myself pressed against the wall, again, staring into the same irritated eyes.

"Answer me. Where were you?" he said, saying each word with the same amount of anger. Was he worried about me?

"Shopping," I replied looking down at the dress I bought.

"And what about this?" Darren held a strand of black and white hair.

"Do you like it?" I said trying to hide my scared look with a smile.

He dropped my hair and turn away. "Why did you change it?"

Suddenly I felt nervous. "I thought it would be better if we didn't look too alike."

"I liked it better that way," he looked straight into my eyes.

Wha-? Does he like me? I sighed and put my hands on my head and removed the hairpiece. "You're lucky it was a wig," I said bluntly but then I smiled. He smiled back. We then walked back to the theater.

KuromiKajitsu: Do you love it?^^

Darren: You got me all work up over some stupid wig... *pissed*

KuromiKajitsu: Well...I blame you!

Darren: And you're a fox?!

KuromiKajitsu: I just love foxes! Aren't they cute! Plus I'm a vixen(since Im a girl)

Darren: Whatever...at least it explains my attraction to your blood.

KuromiKajitsu: Next chapter we learn all about the new girl (who is currently unconscious)! I like to thank my new BFFL, Marisa(aka tinkerbelle22) for helping me with this chapter and for being my #1 fan!!! Yay!!!
