So sorry I didn't have this published yesterday. I had this chapter all written out but I forgot to send it to 96jp007 for Beta reading :( I feel soooo bad about not publishing this sooner.

Well, without further ado, I give to you Chapter 7 :)


"And we're clear!"

I panted and walked over to my bag to get a drink. That last dance was intense. I gulped down my water and looked over to see what Rocky was up to. I scowled slightly when I saw her talking to Damien. Rocky noticed me staring and waved me over and I reluctantly complied, not wanting to go anywhere near Damien. "Hey Cece, I'm gonna show Damien around Chicago some more. You don't mind having to go home on your own, right?" she asked. I smiled, a fake smile of course.

"Of course not Rocks, I'll see you later tonight." I waved and went back over to my bags, anger flowing through my veins.

I couldn't believe it. Rocky was blowing me off to spend time with Damien. I grabbed my stuff and made my way out of the studio alone. With a heavy heart, I let Toby know I was on my way then got onto the subway train. I closed my eyes and tried to think thoughts that didn't involve Rocky.

Which was hard.

Trust me.


Toby sat on the steps to Rocky and Cece's apartments, writing in a notebook while he waited for the two girls to show up. He'd watched Shake It Up Chicago in his hotel room before making his way across the city. He checked the time and, realising that Rocky and Cece will show up soon, put away his notebook before stretching. Toby noticed a red head making their was over and, upon closer observation, he noticed it was Cece . . . but Rocky was nowhere to be seen.

Curious, he made his way over to Cece. She had a sad look on her face. Had her and Cece had a fight? Had she told Rocky about her feelings and gotten rejected? He came to a stop in front of her, "Hey, what's up?" he asked, concern laced into his voice. She blinked, snapping out of her thoughts, and shook her head.

"Nothin'" she mumbled sadly.

"Right . . . where's Rocky?"

"With Damien" she practically growled. Toby recoiled slightly, startled at the sudden change in tone.

"Oh, I see. You're jealous!"

"So what if I am?"

"Calm down Red, I'm sure you'll get the girl eventually!" he said cheerfully, laughing as he dodged Cece's punch.


Toby sure knows how to cheer people up, it had been about an hour since we met up and I hadn't had time to think about Rocky being with Damien while Toby was joking around and dancing like an idiot.

I catch Toby's bruise out of the corner of my eye and I frown slightly. I know something happened to Toby after school the other day and it's still bugging me.

"I bet you wanna know what really happened to me the other day, right?" I blinked, it was like he read my mind.

"Yeah, I do"

"I'll tell you." I gaped at him and he continued. "If you tell me why there's something not quite right about Damien." I scowled.

"Promise you'll take me seriously?"

"Cross my heart, hope to die" I rolled my eyes, he was such a five year old at times.

"Well, for as long as I can remember I've been able to tell when people are human or not. Y'know, vampires, shapeshifters . . . all that stuff."

"Cece" I looked up at Toby who slowly broke into a grin. "I knew there was something special about you." he laughed slightly and I couldn't help but smile back.

"So what happened the other day?"

"Right . . ." he looked around quickly before returning his gaze to me "I was just about to walk down the corridor outside when I found myself getting up close and personal with a locker which is why my face is bruised, I also messed my leg up at the same time. It was a vampire trying to kill me. I managed to fight it off and kill it. That's what I do. I hunt down and kill supernatural beings if they start drawing attention to the supernatural world or if one has the intention of harming humans, I'm a hunter."

"Woah . . . that . . . is a lot of information to take in. So what, was that vampire doing something wrong?"

"No, that was just self defence. But you were right. Damien isn't human. He's my target."

"Well what is he? What is he planning on doing?"

"He's a demon and . . . this probably won't be easy for you to hear . . ."

"Tell me" I demanded, Toby nodded.

"I'm sorry Cece but" he breathed in deeply and exhaled again before continuing "It's Rocky . . . He's planning on taking Rocky as his."

I felt my body grow numb and my blood run cold. Damien wanted Rocky for his self.

And Rocky was with him right now.

I grabbed Toby by his jacket. "We need to find them. Now!" I practically shout.

"Right" he said while nodding, "We need to get a few things from my hotel first though."

I followed Toby through the streets and into his hotel room. He went into his suitcase located by the bed and went rummaging through it. He placed a few things I couldn't make out into various pockets. He grabbed one final thing, shoving it into his jacket pocket and hiding it from view, before standing and turning to me. He had a serious look on his face. "When we get there I need you to take Rocky away, once I get her away from Damien that is." he said, his voice nearly unrecognisable from the seriousness in it. It was scary after always hearing him speak in a gleeful manner.

"Got it." I replied almost automatically, looking into his eyes instead of looking at how serious his face seemed.

"There's something else too."

"What is it?"

"If push comes to shove then you're gonna have to do something brave for me." From the bottom of my eye, I see him reach into his jacked pocket but I couldn't force myself to look down at what it was. Not yet.

I gulped. "What is it you want me to do?" He pressed the item into my hands, cold metal biting my flesh. I looked down and gasped at the gun I was now holding.

"I'm gonna need you to shoot him."


Ooohhhh! Dun, dun duunnnnn! Who could have seen that one coming? Oh wait, I did! Again!

Hope you all enjoyed this one! I enjoyed writing it!

Again, I'm sorry about forgetting this chapter.

Final Note: Reviews make me giddier than a chipmunk on drugs! They are much appreciated.
