“that guy just asked me out on a date but I think he did it on a dare so I told him I have an idea where we are going to go. Im going to scare him so bad!” Kara’s eyebrows raised.
“and what if this isn’t a dare and he likes you then what?” I just looked at her and sighed at her ignorance.
“trust me it is everyone here knows I’m a freak.”
“Shadow do you think going on a date is a very good idea anyways wont your demon get mad?” I gasped how did she know? I asked her and she looked at me guilty.
“well I can see supernatural things for what they truly are and so I know you have a demon mate and I also know you’re a witch.”
“oh that makes sense.” I sighed in relief at least I wouldn’t have to explain the weird things when I took her home.
“so how do you plan on scaring him away anyways?” I smiled at her evilly.
“Two words MY DAD.” She just shook her head.
“I still don’t think it’s a good idea.” I just ignored her already thinking about my dad and how he would act around him. This would be the first time I brought a guy home or ever attempted to go on a date my dad is really over protective of me so all I had to do is not tell him and when the guy comes knocking ill let my dad answer. He will be so angry when he realizes I had planed to go on a date without telling him he will be really angry. Seeing me dad angry is terrifying I had lived my whole 16 years of life with him and was still not used to it. Looking at him is like looking at an angry god. I shuddered just at the thought of that. My dad was a vampire so even if a human didn’t know he was one they could still tell something was off about him. This was going to get interesting I thought. After all I had never tried to get my dad angry on purpose. To be honest I was I was scared to death of my father I mean he may be all loving but when he got angry at me things tend to get messy. No one wanted to be around when we fought. I sighed wondering what exactly was I thinking my father wasn’t the only one who I had to worry about I also worried about what Lucian will do when he finds out. I shrugged oh well there was no turning back. I picked up my bag and walked out the school deciding that I had enough of school for a day plus it had been forever since I last ditched. I walked in the door only to be greeted by my older vampire brother who was 300 years old. He was smirking at me.
“so little sis you have a date does dad know about this.” I glared at him.
“how did you even find out?” he raised his eyes brows.
“I just so happened to be passing by your school when I heard a boy bragging about having a date with you.” I rolled my eyes it was so like my brother to be spying on me.
“You mean you were spying on me.” I crossed my arms over my chest. I was so fed up with my overprotective family. My dad was the worst but then there was my other brother and sister who were older then me. They were all over protective of me. I was being watched twenty four seven, and I was getting tired of it. Sighing I pushed past my brother and walked up to my room to get ready for the date tonight. Thinking of Kara’s warnings I wondered if Lucien would find out. I shuddered hoping he wouldn’t I had never really made him fully angry and have never seen him that way but I had a hunch I never wanted to. So instead of thinking of what was coming tonight I decided to just wing it and hope for the best.


Tyler P.O.V
I couldn’t believe I had finally had the courage to ask her out. I shook my head I cant believe I was that nervous in the first place I was after all the most wanted guy in the school. Girls were always wanting my attention. But she had been different she had even told me I was stupid and shallow if all I talked about was football when there was so many other great things out there. I had no idea how I hadn’t noticed her before this she was really beautiful even if she was a little weird and different form the other people I hung out with.
“Dude are you crazy!” my friend Luke asked me for the millionth time today. He looked over to where her and the new girl were sitting. Her friend was shaking her head at her most likely telling her she shouldn’t date a jerk like me and all that. I blushed.
“would you stop looking over there!” I hissed. He turned around shaking his head.
“You have no idea what your getting yourself into she’s a freak
There’s so many hot girls in this school I mean tiffany wants to date you!” I shook my head.
“I don’t like her she’s a whore and so are most of the girls in this school.” just as I said that I saw tiffeny making her way towards us she didn’t notice us looking as she paused and pulled up her skirt to make it shorter if that was even possible and pulled her shirt lower showing her cleavage leaving nothing to our imagination. I turned around and gave Luke a pointed look that said see I told you so.
“hey baby.” she said crawling into my lap shoving her cleavage in my face I couldn’t even breath. I picked her up and set her next to me she pouted as if she was five and I was taking away her new favorite toy.
“So Tiffney you wont believe who Tyler is going on a date with tonight.” I threw him a glare hoping he would take the hint but as usual he ignored me I had no doubt that when tiffany found out who she would make shadows life miserable.
“and who would that be?” she asked eyebrows raised no doubt wondering who could be any better then her.
“That chick named Shadow.” it was a well know fact that Tiffney for some unknown reason hated her more then anyone else in the school. I watched as her face went from calm to absolutely furious. But then she quickly hid it with a look of smugness.
“Your With that freak.” she snorted. “I bet after one date you will come running back after she takes you on a walk through a grave yard and if that doesn’t scare you off then her family will. Her dad is a freaking psycho.” How does she even know Shadow? Luke seemed to be wondering the same thing asked. For the first time I saw Tiffany nervous like she said something she wasn’t suppose to say.
“I had to do a project with her for school.” with that she got up and walked away.
“well that was weird” I said as the bell rung. For the rest of the day I thought about my date with shadow tonight something told me that this would not be a normal date.

Tiffany’s P.O.V
I couldn’t believe it! He had chosen that freak over me! How could I have almost told them I used to be best friends with her. I felt a pang missing it when I used to sit in the kitchen with her and her loving father or watched anime with them. Before I had been popular I had been real close to that family even knowing their deepest secret they didn’t know I knew it but I did. I even missed not having to always be on guard all the time or worry if what I wore was not cool enough. But it only lasted a seconded how could I miss all that? I had everything I had ever dreamed of. I had beauty, friends who practically bow at my feet, and all the guys wanting me. Life was almost perfect. Almost. My mom was in a mental hospital for trying to kill her self and my dad was a drunk. I dreaded going home. This life at school was the only thing I had and I wasn’t about to ruin it just because I missed one person. I sighed and walked into my house where my dad stood waiting for me with an angry expression. I knew tonight would not be good


Shadows P.O.V
I looked in the mirror with a satisfied smirk. I was wearing a black and purple ripped dress that was a corset on the top, and was shredded at the bottom it went to just below my knees, fishnet gloves, and combat boots, my blue hair was in chop sticks, and I was wearing purple lipstick. I had even put all my earrings in my ears. All in all I think I looked perfect for the night I had planed that is even if I’m able to get out of the door. Part of me wanted my dad to say no way! But another part of me wanted to go I had never experienced a date before and had always wondered what it would be like I heard the door bell ring and stiffened when I heard my father answer it I strained my ears to hear what was being said.
“can I help you.” oh no he was putting on his dangerous voice my dad enjoyed scaring random people.
“I’m here to pick up shadow for our date sir.” Tyler answered in a confident voice not even sounding a bit scared. How could he not be scared he had guts. Apperitly my father noticed because he laughed.
“come in.” he said in a warm voice. Wait why was he not yelling or saying no way in hell?
“So you want to take my sweet darling out do you?”
“yes sir I’m sorry if this is a bit of a surprise I’m guessing she didn’t tell you?” his voice sounded angry for the last part. I felt a little guilt about my plan but quickly swallowing it with the thought that he was most likely doing this on a dare.
“No she didn’t but because I like you I decided that you are worthy enough to take my daughter out for the night. BUT!!! The curfew Is midnight.”
“Yes sir.” Tyler said sounding a little nervous I was guessing my father was giving him the stern look I had always hated that look.
“SHADOW!!!! YOU R DATE IS HERE.” my father screamed taking a deep breath I walked out the door only to see my father giving me a kind smile as if to say I’m not mad. I could barley remember the walk to the car. I hadn’t even noticed the car turning on all I could think was what have I gotten myself into?
“so where do you want to go?” I looked over at him only to see him smiling at me he was so amazingly beautiful no one could match him well Lucien could but Tyler had an innocence to him that Lucien did not.
“Go on the highway turn left at the first sigh you see.” I answered already thinking of the night ahead my mood suddenly lifted and I smiled. We were going to go to this
