Previous chapter: Suddenly, Zara stood up, amidst the sudden silence. She didn't walk towards us, for which I was relieved. Instead, she walked over to the other long couch, where Simon, Jace, Tori, Aqua, Sam, Jacob, Avir, and David sat. I was wondering. Which one was her mate? As I thought that, she stepped forward, and gracefully collapsed, clinging to the man she was sitting on, …

"Sam?" Mason gasped quietly. He looked confused, as if he was expecting someone else. Either way, he recovered quickly, and moved to help him lift Zara's dead weight into a more comfortable position, as she was clinging to him with surprising strength. I was just glad it wasn't Jace.
Oddly enough, Sam and Zara seemed like a perfect couple. Her light chocolate skin contrasted nicely with his slightly tanned face. Her long black locks mingled with his dirty blonde ones, and they had the same expression of peaceful happiness on their faces.
I think everyone fell asleep there, on the couches, because the soft chatter of conversation died out into a warm silence, and my eyes drifted shut. When I woke up, warm arms encircled me, looking into the bright blue eyes of my boyfriend. Oddly, we were in his room, rather than on the couch. We lay like that for a few minutes, then I got up, kissed him, and went to go and shower.
When I got downstairs, Mason was up making breakfast. Derek, Chloe, Zara, and Sam were up already and were eating quietly. I grabbed food from the oven, and sat, just as Jace came up and sat next to me.
Zara and Sam were holding hands, but weren't all lovey-dovey, thank god. But Chloe and Derek were sitting next to each other, but ignored each other. Derek looked a little off, he looked like he had a fever. Huh. Were they still mad at each other for god-knows-what?
"Hey, everyone, we're all going shopping for clothes today, because I really don't want to conjure clothes for twenty-four people. I can, but I don't want to. So we're going shopping." Zara smiled at the now-full kitchen.
I squealed. I love shopping. I heard a low chuckle behind me. I turned to Jace. "What?" I asked.
Another chuckle. "Just that you're more excited about going shopping than finding out that Zara could conjure you clothes of your own design," he whispered in my ear, his breath tickling my neck. I laughed as well.

When I got downstairs, Zara announced that we were going to go shopping, unfortunately. Tori was really excited, obviously, but shopping was boring. And that bastard, Jace, I'd have to spend the day with him if I wanted to stay with my sister. No fair.
Just then, Derek got up and walked out the door. I wonder why. Chloe got up to go after him, but Zara clutched her arm, and seemed to mentally communicate with her. Whatever, he probably was just upset about going shopping.
We lounged around for an hour or so, just sitting around, before Zara told us all to get up, and get in the car. Derek had come in a few minutes ago, so we walked into the garage for the first time.
This was nice. Zara had a red Ferrari convertible, a black Mercedes-Benz, a black Lamborghini convertible, a Ford truck, a black limousine, a blue Toyota Camry, and a battered green Prius. They had a nice collection here. I liked this place more and more every day. Zara walked up to the Camry, and cast a spell on it, after which everyone got inside. Huh, she had expanded it so thirty people would fit inside comfortably, with a driver's and a passenger's seat up front, and a large circle with a table in the middle in the back. From outside, though, you couldn't tell it was that big.
"Who wants to drive? Any volunteers?" Zara called out. I doubted any of us were old enough to drive, since the adults had gone to a different safehouse, one more compatible with older people. Most of us were fifteen or sixteen, and no one had a license.
Anyway, Nat volunteered to drive, and Zara cast a glamour on her to make her look older, so nobody would be suspicious. Mason sat next to her, posing as her brother, while Zara sat back here with the rest of us. Nat was a bit of a reckless driver, as we sped down the driveway and the road at an alarming rate. Some of the girls were gripping the seats, but Zara was relaxed and laughing.
"Don't worry, it's magicked to not crash or tip over, and it goes faster than it seems to its destination." At this, everyone relaxed a bit. "Oh, and I should give you these," Zara said as she passed out blue cards, "They're debit cards, they have $5000 on each of them."
$5000? That was a lot. But I wasn't that surprised, since they had all the cars, and the large amount of safehouses. Wow, though. How rich are they?
We reached the mall. It was huge, and everyone rushed off immediately, agreeing to meet at the food court in four hours. Four hours? I groaned. I barely could handle this for one hour. I walked into Barnes and Noble, and browsed their anime and manga. I picked out a few books, and moved on to movies. I found three or four good ones, and bought them as well. I wasn't really bothered about clothes, I had enough, but I bought a couple outfits just in case. I shrunk everything and put it in my pocket. Soon after, I walked to the food court and sat there reading manga. I had two and a half hours till everyone met me here, so why not. I felt my eyelids getting heavy and blackness enveloped me.

Tori was really excited, and dragged me off to the stores, piling outfit after outfit into my arms, and hers as well. She bought the stuff at the counter while I slipped away. At least I wouldn't have to carry anything, although she probably shrunk it and put it in her pockets. A few minutes later, I saw Derek, who pulled me aside.
"Can we talk?" He asked with a hopeful expression.
"Sure." I tried to smile.
"Um, I know what Zara said to you because I heard Zara and Mason talking about it earlier, and I'm sorry that she thought that but apparently it was because of her future telling powers and actually it was Mason's fault because he assumed that it wouldn't be you because he couldn't tell who it was, but you don't have to worry because you are my mate." He said that really fast, and it took me a few minutes to comprehend it but when I did, my face broke out into a smile.
He grinned back and lifted me up to kiss me. I wrapped my legs around his waist as fire burned through my veins. My hands went around his neck and fisted his hair as his arms held me against the wall. Our tongues battled for dominance, and-
"DAAYYUUMN, Wolf-boy and ghostie-girl!" We turned around to see Tori, Ella, Nat, Aqua, Flame, Jacob, David, and Mason grinning widely at us. My cheeks burned and I slid to the ground. "It's time to meet at the food court, guys." Derek grunted but followed them anyway.
An amusing, but surprising sight met us there. Simon was asleep in a corner, while Zara was drawing on his face and chest with a sharpie. Meanwhile, Sam had gotten a bowl of warm water, and was gently setting his hand in it. The rest of us had just gotten here after we did, and started laughing, after which Zara shushed us so Simon wouldn't wake up. She finished her drawing and sat back. We sat around in a circle, and started talking.
A few minutes later, Simon woke up, and rolled his eyes at finding that his hand was in warm water. It didn't work anyway. Damn. He looked up and met our eyes, while we were holding back laughter at the drawings on his face. He looked confused, but didn't comment, after which we went to the car.
We managed to not laugh until we got home. Simon was still oblivious to the ink on his face, and we got back to the safehouse. Zara suggested that we go to our rooms to put our purchases away, but stopped the rest of us after Simon went upstairs. She held up a hand putting one finger down at a time, and when she put down her last finger, we heard a loud yell.
We collapsed in laughter as Simon came down, shirtless and furious. Zara had drawn exaggerated eyebrows, blush and lipstick on his face, and drawn a face with a suggestive expression on his chest, underneath which it said, 'I like what you're thinking about this.'
"WHO THE FUCK DID THIS?" He yelled over the peals of laughter.
We all pointed to Zara who said, "Hey, you're not supposed to tell him," then ran as Simon chased her. She eventually gave up and stood against a wall, waiting for him. When he got close to her, she pulled a book from the bookcase next to her, making the wall spin around and transporting her to the next room while Simon ran into the wall.
He got mad and stomped back upstairs. I had to admit, I liked this safehouse.
Sorry if some of the characters are out of character. Review Review Review! My school got flooded, so part of it is destroyed :( Oh well, it still starts at the same time. Sorry if I don't update often, my goal during the school year is at least once a month. Love -Cari
