Tense air filled the mayor's living room. All the representatives of the founding families; the mayor, Sean's father, the doctor and Zayn were all seated waiting for the sheriff. After they were briefly informed about yesterday's incident, they all gathered to hear the full information.

   The sheriff opened the door making all eyes turn to him. "What's going on?" The mayor asked immediately.

   "The witches are at it again but this time they are earlier than usual" the sheriff said handing out some pictures to everyone present. "The woman that was bitten by a strange creature had a black mark on the spot where she was bitten and with no doubt, this is the work of a witch." The sheriff explained.

   "We are not going to sit still and wait for another victim. We must find these underworlders and eliminate them" the mayor said furiously.

  "You're right but we need to be sure our plan is flawless before making any move" Sean's father, Frank said before looking at Zayn who sat opposite him, "How is the weapon going?" He asked and Zayn shook his head.

   "I still need time sir, even an extra hand will do" Zayn said and the sheriff groaned.

   "You need to hurry up. I'll send my daughter to help you if help is what you need." He said and Zayn nodded.

   "This year should be the last year. We need to end this once and for all" the mayor said with finality and every other person nodded.

    "How is your leg?", Camilla jumped in fright but she relaxed when she saw who it was. It was already Friday and Camilla was trying her best to walk properly and at the same time avoid Micheal who kept on asking her to go to a stupid party.

   "Don't be happy, it's healing" she said to Jordan before leaning against her locker. Jordan looked at her amusedly and she huffed.

   "Are you going to the party tonight?" He asked her nervously and she looked at him in confusion. "I heard nerds don't go to parties" he added cockily and she glared at him.

   "For your information, I'm going to the party" She lied immediately, "see you there" she said before leaping off to class.

******
   "I can't believe you agreed" V said and Camilla gave her a weak smile.

   "I can't believe it either." She replied sitting on V's bed. She, V and Scarlett decided to 'get ready' in V's house. What's there to get ready about? It's just a party, Camilla thought.

    Scarlett was sitting quietly on a bean bag in the room. She couldn't believe she was in a witch hunter's house. She felt a little bit scared to be honest.

   "Why can't I wear what I'm wearing?" Camilla asked for the hundredth time but V ignored her.

   "Put this on" V said throwing a crop top and shorts at Camilla, "and you, take this one" she added throwing a royal blue gown at Scarlett. "Now get ready, we don't have time" V commanded and Camilla groaned in response.

*******
   As the car drove closer to the house, the music became louder. The house where the party was being held was so close to the woods that it gave Camilla the creeps. Camilla sat in the front seat while V drove the car. Micheal and Sean were waiting at the party for them. Camilla gripped the door handle nervously. If only she didn't want to prove Jordan wrong then this wouldn't be happening. Her curly hair was straightened and her face was covered with light make-up. She didn't have a choice when it came to V, no one had a choice.

   "I'm not sure.." Camilla started but she shut up immediately when she saw V's glare.

   "Let yourself loose a little." V said and Scarlett, who was seated at the back, nodded in agreement.

   "It's only a party, Cam" Scarlett reassured.

    Micheal and Sean were standing by the gate of the house waiting for the girls. Micheal was the most excited person in the world when he heard Camilla was coming. He was bouncing on his feet, he couldn't wait to see her.

   V parked the car and alighted. Scarlett came down after her. One look at Scarlett and Sean's jaw was almost sweeping the ground.

   "You look gorgeous" Sean whispered making Scarlett blush. V rolled her eyes at them before noticing that one person was remaining. She stalked to the passengers seat and opened the door. Camilla stumbled out of the car looking embarrassed.

   "My angel.." Micheal walked towards her looking surprised. "I always knew you were beautiful but this -" he said gesturing to her outfit, "- is off the charts". Camilla scoffed at the sweet words and tried to bring down the uncomfortable shorts.

   "Let's go in" V said and they all entered the house.

*******
   It has been thirty minutes since Camilla arrived at the party and she was already tired of it. Immediately they entered,Sean and Scarlett disappeared into the crowd, V left after sometime and Micheal was dragged off by a couple of guys to play a game or something. Now, it's just Camilla and her regret sitting at the make-shift bar.

   She heard a whistle behind her cutting her off her thoughts. She turned only to see it was the reason she came in the first place, Jordan.

   "I actually doubted you'd come but you managed to prove me wrong." Jordan said looking at her. He was actually blown away. He didn't expect this transformation. He was still studying Camilla before he realized she looked uncomfortable. "Stand up" he said and she ignored him. "Just do it" he pressed on.

   "Why?" Camilla asked turning properly to look at him. She tried not to get distracted by his skin-tight black tank top, black jeans which he seemed to wear often and the leather jacket he was holding in his right hand.

   "Just stand up alright?" Jordan asked and Camilla reluctantly stood up. Jordan tied the jacket around her waist making Camilla gasped in surprise. Jordan tightened the jacket and took out his hand. "Let's dance, shall we?" He asked and Camilla nodded pushing past him to the dance floor making him laugh.

   Jordan started moving his body according to beat and Camilla felt her palm become sweaty. Who was she kidding? She knew nothing about dancing. Jordan noticed it and took her hands. He started shaking her hands playfully and she laughed and started moving her body. She tried to dance even with her leg that wasn't hurting so much now. She knew she was embarrassing herself but Jordan didn't mind.

   Micheal carefully balanced two cups in his hands. He was looking for his angel. After a couple of guys dragged him off, he tried to look for Camilla but he couldn't find her. He was about to sit on one of the bar stools when he saw a familiar brown skinned girl laughing while dancing with a certain boy. Micheal's hand shook in fury as he saw his angel dancing with the guy she hated. He hated the fact that she was happy with another guy. He wanted to be the one that made her happy. He dropped the cups and stormed out of the house.

    Sean noticed Micheal's behavior and looked at what made his cousin angry. He saw Jordan spin Camilla around and balled his fist. First was his cousin now Jordan.

   "Sean? Are you ok?" Scarlett asked and he nodded giving her a small smile.

   Camilla couldn't believe she was the one laughing so hard. Just a few minutes ago she was embarrassing herself and now Jordan joined her in the embarrassment by bursting out a couple of silly moves. She was dancing with her enemy and she was happy doing so.

   Jordan felt something change in his body. He knew what it was. He tried to hold it in but he saw his nails come out. He didn't want to leave Camilla but he had no choice.

  "I need to go" he said and Camilla looked at him in confusion.

   "What did you say?!" She asked loudly. The music was too loud for her to hear what he said. She could barely hear her voice. Jordan took a couple of steps back before running out of the house.

   Did he just ditch me? Camilla thought. She ran after him and tried to look for him. She went to the back of the house that was littered with red cups and other things she couldn't recognize, where is he? Just as she was about to give up she caught a glimpse of his foot. She carefully walked up to him and she couldn't stop the scream that came out of her mouth. Jordan's chest was filled with bushy brown hair, his canines were sharp and out on full display, his eyes were yellow and they held surprise. Before she could react, Jordan ran off into the woods.
