Chapter 52

Jazmyn's P.o.V.

"Holy crap." I grinned and dragged Seth the rest of the way into RoundOne. It was huge! Aecia doesn't lie.

"I told you, right?" Aecia laughed and tugged on Malachi's arm. The person at the front desk smiled at us and held up a giant rubber stamp. Everyone held out their arms and she stamped them.

"Wait!" Ashley yelled, holding up her hands. "I wanna' ruin the curve. Stamp my cheek." She held out her face and the employee laughed and did as she told her. Brandon's imprint giggled and squealed as we walked the rest of the way in.

Straight ahead there was a small food court with menus to order all kinds of snacks and drinks. To my right, there was a big roller skating rink. When I turned, there were teenagers dancing and laughing and having a good time. Music blasted from huge speakers on the walls.

"Look, down there! Games and bowling. It's all free! We got the magic stamp." Aecia waved her hand around. Teasha suddenly squealed and jumped up excitedly.

"Swag! They got a swirly slide! It leads into a foam pit!" Brady high fived her.

"Let's go!"

"C'mon, Collin!"

They all ran off. Seth tapped my shoulder.

"We're gonna' go bowl. You coming?"

"What? I'm ready to dance!" I laughed and kissed his cheek. "Have fun! You better win!" He laughed at me and jogged off with the other guys towards the bowling alley. I looked at the rest of the girls. "We're off!"

We skipped towards the group of dancers, already dancing to the upbeat music. The Twins wriggled their way towards the middle and took the dance floor by storm. Everyone cleared out a space for them as they moved around. Everyone was fist pumping and cheering them on, like they were on Step Up, or something. They finished and called my name. I shook my head.

"C'mon!" Amanda yelled over the noise. I looked Athena, who nodded at me. The Twins pulled me in and joined the crowd of dancers around me. I waited a few beats and just went with the flow of the music. I ended with a fast spin on my heels and everyone cheered. Ashley jumped on my back and the other two joined us and we laughed and danced.

Somewhere between the fifth and eleventh song, we slid into a booth at the food court.

"Whew, that felt great," Athena said, sipping on her soda. She turned her hat to the side of her head. "Look, here come the guys." She pointed to everyone coming back.

"Guess who just won thirty bucks?" Seth waved money in my face. I kissed him.

"Awesome job!"

"Hey, where's..." Collin looked over my head and his eyes widened. "Oh, hell no." His mouth dropped and we all turned. In the middle of the dance floor, Aecia and Malachi stood with their arms wrapped around each other. They were kissing. Full on kissing. Making out kissing. "Yeah. He imprinted on her. I knew from the moment he looked at her."

"He's got it bad," Amanda clucked her tongue. "Well, I'm up for some karaoke. Anyone else?"

"YES!" I screamed. In the middle of the dance floor, a stage was set up, and a guy held a microphone, announcing karaoke. "Seth, do you want-" Suddenly, the power went out. Lights, music, everything.

The place was suddenly filled with screaming and shouting.

"Jazz!" Seth yelled. Someone grasped my arm.

"Mandy, hold on to me!" Ashley was screaming. "Brandon!"

"Ashley, where are you?"

"Teasha!"

"Jazz! Jazmyn!"

I was being hit left and right by...I don't even know what I was being hit by. Then the smell of chlorine and too-sweet strawberry jelly shot into my nose.

"It's a freaking leech!" I screamed. I didn't know where I was running. My wolf senses kicked in, and I could move out of the way just in time so I didn't get bumped. I could see the light of the door and that's where I ran.

People were running out to their cars and down the street. I tripped and fell, scraping my arm. I watched it heal and then turned, ignoring people as they bumped into me, probably getting hurt themselves.

"SETH!" I screeched, turning around to look for him. There were so many people falling and panicking. I couldn't see anyone.

"Jazz!" Collin and Brandon ran towards me, Athena came up behind them and gripped my shoulders.

"Where's Brady?" she yelled.

"I don't know! I don't know where anyone is!" That's when someone bumped into Athena and she fell.

"Hey, watch it!" Brandon said, helping her up. He handed her the hat that had fallen off her head.

"Collin!" Teasha ran and jumped into her imprint's arms.

"Where're the Twins?" Brandon asked her. Teasha shook her head.

"I don't know." Suddenly I saw Seth, Malachi, Aecia, and Brady. I ran towards Seth. He cursed under his breath and kissed me. I pulled away.

"The Twins. Where are they?"

"The whole place is cleared out. We don't know where they are. The lights popped back on not even ten seconds later." Brandon's face fell.

"Ash..." He stepped back and cupped his hands over his mouth. "ASHLEY! AMANDA!" He ran forward but Seth and Collin held him back. He struggled in their grasps, still yelling the Twins' names.

"Man, you gotta' stop," Seth told him. "They're gone."

Really short, I know. And you all probably hate me right now, but it'll get better...Kind of. And the chapters are gonna' start coming out like snap-snap-snap. So be ready!
