A/N- I'm back and it feels good! I want to explain why I've been gone for so long, so here goes. I wasn't feeling the story anymore and I even thought about deleting it, but after a while, I decided to give it another shot. I changed the original storyline that i had written up because I felt like everything was choppy and didn't flow together. Everything is still the same except for some minor details. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me -Kay xx

Ellie's POV

Leo and I had resorted to walking to New York and were now about a half hour away. I was too tired to complain and plus I needed the exercise. We were almost out of money and I didn't want to use my credit card because A) it might alert monsters or whatever and B) because I didn't want to explain to mom how I managed to make the bill skyrocket.

"Hey, you wanna stop by a gas station or something?" Leo asked. I nodded in reply and looked around for a gas station or a liquor store.

"There's one two streets over I think." I nodded over to the direction of the gas station and pulled Leo along with me.

We walked in silence the rest of the way, neither of us bothering to talk to eachother. After the whole motel incident, we'd only talk to each other when it was necessary. He wasn't mad at me and I wasn't mad at him, we were just exhausted.

Leo opened the door and held it open for me. I thanked him quietly and walked down the aisles, grabbing random items and put them in the basket. I walked over to where Leo was standing and nudged him.

"Hey I'm going to head over to the bathroom." I handed him a $20 dollar bill before asking the cashier for the key.

Let me tell you something, gas station bathrooms are gross. They have dirt smudges all over the tiles and it reeks in there. So when I opened the door and was met with the not so pleasant smell of other peoples pee and crap, I was not happy. Oh dear gods please don't let this bathroom be the death of me.

After going about with my business I turned on the faucet, washed my hands and splashed the cold water on my face. I leaned against the wall opposite of the sink and did what any other teenage girl would do. I tried to think of a place in New York where night is like day.

I couldn't think of anything so I thought back to what happened in my dream and in the motel bathroom. What was that? Was I going to die? Why was I chosen? A loud banging interrupted my thoughts.

"El? C'mon lets go, I think I know where we're going." I opened the door and walked out of the mildew stained bathroom.

"We're going to a rave." He said.

"A rave?" I stared at Leo. He nodded and grinned like a little kid.

"Yeah! I mean think about it, it's all neon and everyone is full of energy and it takes place at night! There were posters outside and it's tonight, c'mon." He was making all these crazy hand motions and I couldn't help but giggle at how he was acting.

"Leo, we don't even have clothes for a rave!" He gave me a look that was along the lines of really? and you're freaking kidding me.

"You have a magical bag that supplies you with clothes. I think you can manage to pull something appropriate for a rave out." I sighed,

"Fine." I grabbed my bag and said, " Two outfits, one male and one female for a rave." I shoved Leo's outfit into his arms and went back into the bathroom.

"I can't believe I'm wearing this." I was in the sluttiest looking outfit ever. I was in black leather hot pants with a neon pink stripe going up the sides. The top I had on, if it was even considered a top, was a neon pink corset crop top with fishnet cutouts and black stripes under the bust and the sides.

"Ellie are you ready? C'mon we have a bus to catch if we want to make it." Leo knocked on the door repeatedly.

"Yeah just give me a minute." I grabbed my converse, slipped them on and grabbed my bag. I commanded it to give me an oversized hoodie the same way I did when I asked for mine and Leo's clothes. I threw it on over the stupid outfit and walked outside.

"Finally, you were taking forever!" Leo sighed dramatically. I envied him. All he had to wear was a tank top with neon stripes and some jeans.

"Hey why do you have a hoodie on?" He had his eyebrows raised at me. I punched him a muttered a "you owe me" under my breath.

"What did I do?" I shook my head and walked to the bus stop angrily.

The bus ride was uncomfortable to say the least. Some old lady kept sending my disapproving glares while muttering something about indecency in today's youth. I bounced my leg up and down as I held onto the grab hold and waited for the bus to get to our stop. Leo however, was perfectly comfortable. He was standing in front of me talking to the bus driver about how much fuel was need for a bus. I took this as a chance to give him the once over.

I'll admit, Leo is very attractive. I wondered if he worked out. His arms were toned and you could tell especially since he was wearing a tank top. His back was also well defined. I let my eyes roam around his back and concluded that not only did he have great arms, back, and hair, but he also had a nice butt. The bus jerked to a stop making me crash into him. I rubbed my forehead and noticed that we had arrived at our stop. Leo turned and chuckled at me.

"Nice one. Maybe next time we'll find you a seat so you don't go around hurting others." He grinned at me. I could feel my face heating up, but thankfully I didn't blush. I followed him out and noticed that we were standing in front of a place that looked like an apartment complex. It was too dark to make out the details, but from what I could tell it didn't seem like there was a rave going on in there.

"Are you sure it's here?" I was pretty skeptical about this place. I mean for all we know this could be a trap.

"Yeah I'm sure, now lets go before the line gets too long." He dragged me inside the building, down three flights of stairs and into the line. I was met with a bunch of half naked people in neon getups waiting to be admitted into the party.

I fiddled with my rings and wondered what was going to happen tonight. I looked up and saw that we were next in line. Leo fished something out of his pocket and handed it to some guy with a neon green mohawk. It was the poster from outside the gas station. The guy nodded and motioned us in before his friend stopped us.

"You're going to have to take off your hoodie if you want to go inside." She said. I looked at Leo pleadingly and he shrugged. She looked back at me and gave me a look that said sorry but it's a rule.

"Fine." I grumbled and took off the hoodie. The lady smiled and and I scowled. I turned to Leo and closed his mouth because some how it had fallen open.

"Y-you look ,umm you look g-great." I glared at him. "Ok shutting up now yeah alright."

"So what do we do now?" I asked.

"Dance?"

"Ok." He lead me over to were everyone was dancing. I've got to admit that the energy was great. It wasn't really a rave but more like a neon party with a lot of almost naked people. The music was loud and perfect for dancing. It was fun to be able to let go even if only for a while. We'd only been here for a couple of minutes and I was already sweaty. I kept looking around for anything suspicious while I danced with Leo, but so far everything looked normal. That is until it happened.
