After much yelling about what I would wear, I was sitting in an unmarked, black van that was heading for the club. Nate wanted me to wear a micro-mini pink and black plaid skirt and a black cami! I mean, I would wear that, but it’s like “throwing the lamb to the wolves” as Syd put it. Which wasn’t funny because it was literal. I settled for the skirt but I put black leggings underneath it and I wore the black cami, over a long sleeve grey shirt.
So, sitting in the passenger seat, jiggling my leg, which I do when I am nervous.
“Don’t worry about it. They like humans, they like to fit in with them whenever they can. So, don’t worry, they’ll accept you.”
I nodded wearily, too busy thinking of all of the things that could go wrong, it’s only natural to think that when you’re going into a life-or-death situation for people you only met the day before, but were pretty sure they could mess you up if you didn’t do as they said.
“Just be confident. Remember what we went over yesterday. Oh! And don’t be a klutz.”
I scowled. Damn him! I’ve always been a klutz.
The van slowed to a stop and Nate looked at me. Sighing, I opened the door and stepped outside. I know I had to do this alone, they could instantly tell what Nate was just from looking at him. So, I stood there. Alone. Wondering what could happen to me. I shivered slightly as I headed for the door to the warehouse and heaved it open, aware of Nate’s eyes on my back. I turned and gave him a little wave and smile, before I stepped inside and closed the door.
Warmth flooded my body as the door closed. It was exactly like any other rave.
I’ve seen these places on TV...I’m not drinking anything in here...
I made my way to the bar in the back, after squeezing through some grinding bodies. I do not recommend that. Really sweaty.
The bartender looked up from pouring someone else a drink, but I shook my head as I slid onto a stool. His eyes flashed a different color.
Did his eyes just flash silver?
Werewolf...
Thanks...
The music was so loud. I mean I couldn’t think straight sometimes. I did what I could. I scanned the crowd for a sign of any of the guys I could target. Sometimes I couldn’t help, but smile. “Target.” Ha! If I had ever thought I was going to “target” anyone...Anyway. Do you know that feeling when you’ve been looking for something for a long time then you think you see it. But it’s not it and you get that completely disappointed feeling. Yeah, that happened about ten times.
Though, it was interesting to see how the others in the club appeared. There was a guy who had dyed his hair silver and his eyes were the same color, it seemed like he was wearing contacts, but I knew better by now.
A cool breeze on my neck made me jump and turn around. Only to stare right into a pair of Midnight blue eyes with silver flecks. Just like the night sky.
Ethan... I remembered.
“Hey.” His voice fit him perfectly, a little coarse, but the way he said things made you forget about that. “I’ve never seen you here before...”
I smiled and shrugged innocently. What do I say? I thought frantically. Now that I was face to face with this gorgeous guy, I couldn’t think straight.
Just act innocent...
Easy enough...
“I heard about this place from a friend and they’re going to meet me here.”
“Ah..” he motioned to the bartender and he placed a drink in front of him instantly.
“About an hour ago...” I whispered. I looked over the crowd of people on the dance floor. I wanted him to turn his attention back to me. And it worked. I sighed heavily and let my shoulders drop, turning back to him, I “managed” a weak smile.
He shook his head and leaned towards me, sincerity written all over his face. “Who would ever want to disappoint you?” I didn’t even have to try to blush. I allowed my eyes to widen before I turned away.
It’s going better than I thought...
He pulled my chin towards him and began to lean in–
“Don’t tell me that you are going to lead on another innocent girl, Ethan...”
“Ugh...Cian, why don’t you ruin someone else’s night?”
I whipped around and nearly toppled off of my stool. He looked ever better in person....
His red bangs fell in front of both his eyes, I could only catch glimpses of his grey eyes, but he smiled at me and shook his head.
“You need to be more careful...?”
What’s my name? I thought, hoping Nate would reply.
Use your real one. They’ll know if you lie...
“Winry.” I smiled.
He grinned and it took all I had not to melt right there.
“Well, Winry. You need to be careful. This one,” he gestured to Ethan, “likes to pray on the innocent ones. He’ll lead you on and then leave you when he gets bored.”
I nodded. That was all I could do. I was completely stunned.
“Here, let me show you who to avoid...” He offered me his arm. I took it with a little hesitation.
