She wished they would stay away. But she knew that the old saying of 'wish in one hand, and shit in the other, see which fills up faster' was a true statement. And wishes rarely if ever came true.
…
It was around 3 PM that Cass woke up, thinking deeply about her dream. What did it mean? Sure, she knew she was attracted to the cute little devil, but she didn't think she was that attracted to him. Not enough to have a wet dream about him. But God, thinking about his hands on her skin made her entire body heat up, and she almost wished she wouldn't have woken up, just to see where things would lead. But then she remembered his blood spraying onto her face, and the anguish in his eyes, and she was suddenly relieved that she had woken up when she did. She didn't care much to see him die, it left her feeling empty.
After that thought, Erin came running in, plopping down onto her bed and cuddling next to Cass.
"Hi" she whispered, laying her head on the other girls shoulder, letting out a small yawn.
"Hi" Cass whispered back, laying her head on Erin's and closing her eyes.
"We slept so late, I wanted to go to the beach" Erin murmured, ready to go back to bed if Cass asked her to. She thought about it, but decided vacation was not for sleeping, and she probably wouldn't be able to if she wanted to.
"Then let's go! Get up lazy bones!" She yelled, pushing Erin off of her. The younger girl rolled slightly, almost to the edge and gave Cass a hard glare.
"What if I would have fallen off the bed?" Erin asked
"I would have laughed my ass off" Cass answered honestly
"You're rude as shit and I don't know why I'm friends with you" Erin sniffed, making her way off of the bed.
"Because you love me, now get ready" and she shooed Erin out the door so she could get ready as well. She had a quick shower, just in case she wasn't able to come back to the house before night fell, and changed into her red bikini. She threw on a pair of denim shorts and a white tank and she was set.
She met Erin at the door and they both packed a beach bag, full of mostly unnecessary crap. They really only needed a towel and maybe a change of clothes, but alcohol probably wasn't needed. But they were on vacation and it was 5 o'clock somewhere.
They strolled down to the beach, laying out their towels and stripping down to their suits. She was thankful that this part of the beach was mostly empty. She briefly wondered why, but wasn't going to question it. The day seemed to pass by quickly and after drinking as many vodka orange juices as they had, she was surprised they were still awake. It's like Cass blinked and it was nearing nightfall.
"What do you say we just stay right here and drink the rest of this bottle?" Erin asked, shaking the contents of the bottle in front of Cass' face.
"Sounds great, I don't feel much for other human activity." Cass agreed, nodding her head.
Erin lifted the bottle to her lips and took a pull, passing it over to Cass who took a small gulp, washing the terrible taste down with orange juice.
"Ugh will never get used to that" Cass grimaced, wiping her mouth off with the back of her hand. Erin had a similar expression and both girls immediately started laughing.
"What's so funny?" A voice behind them asked. Both girls let out a scream at the same time, Erin jumped up and looked like she was ready to get the hell out of dodge before kind of just dropping to the ground.
And Cass? Well Cass didn't have very good reflexes and pulled both hands up to cover her face, peeking between her fingers.
"Is that really what you do when you get scared?" She looked up and noticed Paul giving her a raised eyebrow while the others just gave her a smirk.
"Ya know it is considered impolite to sneak up on people that way." Cass grumbled, crossing her arms. Then started hysterically laughing because Erin was still on the ground giving them a glare.
"I totally second that. Ya'll are assholes!" Erin accused, getting up and dusting the sand from her body off.
It was then that she realized they were both still in their swimsuits, and both pretty hammered. She gave Marko a peek and realized that he was already looking at her, well not at her face, but his eyes were roaming down her almost naked body. A hungry look in his eyes that had Cass squirming under his gaze. The movement made his eyes snap up to meet hers, the hungry look intensifying. She so wished they were alone, and then the dream came flooding back. And all of a sudden she was embarrassed, her cheeks igniting. He cocked his head at her, giving her one of his famous 'I know something you don't' smiles.
"Damn Cass didn't know you had a body like that under your leather jacket!" Paul laughed, plopping down beside her and grabbing the bottle of alcohol. She blushed again, damn these boys. Marko let out an inhuman growl from deep within his chest and Cass' head whipped around to give him a wide eyed stare. He wasn't looking at her this time, but at Paul. Who was extremely close to her, his thigh brushing hers. Paul didn't seem notice Marko's look, that or he didn't care. Within seconds Marko's jacket came flying from his hands, the article of clothing landing on her head, before dropping down onto her lap. She gave him a look of confusion.
"Put that on please" his teeth were clenched together so tightly that she was afraid they would break. She looked at the jacket, to him, the jacket, then to the bottle of alcohol. Who the hell was he to tell her what to do? She grabbed the bottle before speaking,
"I had a father once, and a brother, and you are neither. Do not think you can tell me what to do." She told him darkly before taking a sip and flinging the jacket back at him. It hit his chest, before falling to the ground. Everyone laughed, excluding Marko. And she felt a little bad, but like hell was he going to waltz in here and try to give her orders.
"Hell yeah girl, you tell him!" Paul winked and threw his arm over her shoulders, pulling her in closer. Again, Marko's eyes narrowed into slits, his eyes glaring at Paul's arm.
"So how about we play a little game?" Erin slurred, throwing a wink at Cass who merely rolled her eyes in response.
"What have you got in mind shortie?" Dwayne replied, going to sit next to her on the ground. Erin looked elated, before his words sunk in.
"Hey! I'm not that short! You're just tall!" She accused, her eyes narrowing at him.
"Nope, pretty sure you're just really short!" Dwayne nodded his head, Paul let out a laugh.
"Not true! You're just a tree trunk!" She said matter of factly, sticking her tongue out at him. This caused him to laugh, caused all of them to laugh, even Marko, but not David.
"Enough. What did you have in mind, Erin?" David questioned, they all sobered up and looked at him.
"How about truth or dare?" Erin asked, giving him a smile. Cass groaned. This would not work out in their favor. There were 2 girls and 4 boys, a severe disadvantage.
"Sure thing who wants to go first?" David asked, joining the 4 of the of the ground, he turned to Marko who was still standing, still glaring at Paul's arm.
"Marko sit." and Marko sat. Though he wasn't too happy about it.
"I will!" Paul volunteered, raising his hand. Oh brother, here we go.
"Ok who do you dare?" Erin questioned, cocking her head.
"Dwayne!" Paul pointed at the silent man. Dwayne looked taken aback, like he was honestly shocked someone had picked him. "Truth or dare?" Paul asked.
"Dare." Dwayne mumbled without a second thought. Cass figured that.
"Ok… hmm.. I dare you to… to… to start clucking like a chicken, and make the chicken movement too!" Paul laughed, just the picture was funny. Cass wanted to laugh to, but only because of the look Dwayne was giving Paul. If looks could kill, Paul would be as dead as Julius Caesar.
Dwayne sighed, but nonetheless got up, bocked once and stuck his hands under his armpits, flapping them like little wings. The sight might have been the funniest thing to Cass, and to the others who were laughing uncontrollably. Paul had almost slumped over into her lap, wiping his eyes.
"I hate you all!" Dwayne seethed, taking a seat next to Erin again.
"Oh man, that was the greatest thing I will ever accomplish!" Paul exclaimed, sitting up straight.
"You're an embarrassment to this world Paul." Dwayne growled, fixing the blonde with a cold stare.
"Nah man that's all you! Who do you dare?" Paul questioned, keeping the smile on his face. Dwayne looked at all of them before his eyes settled on Erin. Thank God.
"Erin, truth or dare?" he questioned the girl.
"Hmm, I'll go with truth!" Erin nodded.
"Shit. Wasn't expecting that uhhh….is it true you like peanut butter?" Dwayne asked, scratching his head. Cass let out a snort of laughter, the alcohol she had just taken a drink out of almost coming out of her nose.
Erin simply gave Cass a withering look before looking back at Dwayne, "no that is not true. I hate peanut butter. Always have, always will!" She rubbed her hands together before clapping.
"Cass truth or dare?" Erin questioned, giving her a smirk. That little...what happened to sisters stand together and all that shit.
"Dare I guess" Cass shrugged as if it was no big deal.
"I dare you to makeout with Paul! Tongue and all!" Erin exclaimed, looking smug.
Wha..? But..? She was going to kill Erin.
"What?" Marko yelled, voicing Cass' thoughts, seeming like he wanted to jump up.
"What's wrong Marko?" David questioned, lighting a cigarette. He seemed to enjoy the younger boy's obvious discomfort.
"Nothing, I just didn't think we were going to be giving such shitty dares. That's all. Kind of trashy too." Marko shrugged, trying to seem nonchalant.
Oh trashy huh? She would give him trashy, her drunk mind wasn't the smartest but damn did it not back down.
She grabbed Paul by the back of the neck and pulled his lips to meet her own. His lips smashed onto hers and his hand gripped her neck as well, pulling her into him. His tongue pried open her lips and delved into her mouth, exploring and never stopping. She let out the faintest moan before she was ripped off of Paul. She was in the air, and then back on the ground behind Marko. His whole body was vibrating, his arm muscles coiled under her hand.
"Do not touch her!" Marko screamed, his body fully in front of hers now.
Erin screamed, and struggled to stand, backing up from Marko. The rest of them were shooting daggers at Marko.
"Oh my god what the fuck? What are you? Your eyes are yellow!" She pointed at him, a horrified expression crossing her face. Cass immediately let him go, backing up. He immediately turned to her, and Erin was right, his eyes were yellow. And he was pissed. Then she remembered one of her first dreams. His eyes were yellow then too, and he stared at her as he ripped into someone's throat with his, before he was impaled by a wooden object. Cass screamed, and then her eyes rolled back. She fell, but just before her body hit the sand, his arms wrapped around her.
He whispered into her hair "I got you" and then Cass felt like she floating, and then she didn't feel, see, or hear anything at all.
