Bianca Winston's Story

It was the last few days of summer. They only had 4 days left, including the current day. Currently Serena, Bianca and Rose were sitting at one of those gross tables at the carnival. The ones that look like they were from the trash, at the food court. Well if you could call it a food court. All they sold there was cotton candy, hot dogs, and anything deep fried. The girls were all munching on some fries and sipping on their floats.

Serena - Earlier that day
This morning it started out pretty normal. Serena woke up and rubbed her eyes as usual. She turned up her radio and danced around her room a bit. Sadly, that morning she wasn't early enough to get the bathroom. "Ruby! You hog! I need that bathroom!" Serena yelled while banging on the door. She sighed and walked back to her room. An hour later she heard the bathroom door unlock. "Long enough?" She commented. She spent her morning doing her hair, make up and getting the perfect outfit together. She wasn't going to let her summer end in ugly rags.

Serena had always been proud of her style. People, younger students, looked up to her. She wasn't going to be a bad influence or role model. She was almost done brushing her hair when she heard a knock on her window. Serena lived by the Campbellton shore, it was the most beautiful place in the world, or that was her opinion. She dropped the brush into the sink and peeled open the curtains. Bianca, of coarse, was sitting there. She unlocked the latch and watched her friend climb inside. "We do have a front door" Serena joked but Bianca wasn't smiling. It had happened again. She wasn't quite sure who was doing it but she knew it was happening. "again" She sighed looking at her frazzled friend. Serenity pulled back out her make up and started to put foundation on her arms. "You know you can report whoever is doing this..." Serena tried to say, but Bianca stayed silent. Bianca was always very timid after it would happen.

After Serena had curled Bianca's hair, it always looked prettier curled, they decided to call on Rose. Rose being the fun, crazy friends they knew already had a plan. "The carnival!" Rose practically screamed through the phone. Serena grabbed the keys hanging off the rack, and as they left the house she could hear her sister yelling "Don't you dare take the keys! I have plans!" But Serena just jumped in the car and started to drive in the direction of Roses house. Bianca was calming down by this point and they started to sing to the radio. As they pulled up, Rose looked brighter than usual. Her hair, I mean. "Did you re-dye it?" Serena asked. Rose nodded and jumped in the car. They drove around for a bit then ended up at the carnival. That's how they got in their current situation.

Current time - 1:46 pm
Rose was already finished her float and was hyper. "Let's go on an easy ride... So our food can settle?" Serena said politely. She moved some hair from her face as they brought their empty food trays to the trash. They were about to go look for another ride when Serena heard her name. "Serena! Hey!" She turned and saw Erik walking with Dante. Of coarse it was Dante yelling for her, Erik was waaay "too cool". Serena used to like Erik. But then he turned bad. He just ditched her and all their friends. Taking the elastic from her wrist, she tied up her hair as they walked up. "Hey guys!" She smiled as Rose and Bianca turned around. Bianca of coarse just stood there looking to the ground. Bianca, even before it started happening, was never good with guys. Unlike Serena who was always one of the guys. "Funny seeing you here!" She laughed.

Bianca - Earlier that day
Bianca woke up to her father yelling. He was screaming something like "I can't believe you!" Of coarse she never knew what she had done. She tried to hide under her covers, but the punches still hurt. Plus she knew they would still bruise. Once he got too tired to hit her, he would just walk off and find something to drink. She slowly put on her outfit for the day, as she cringed in pain. It wasn't the worst beating she has had, but it wasn't just a pat on the back. She ran out the door, grabbing her purse on the way out. She walked to the house next door, Serena's house. She tapped the window, her heart was racing, thinking about her father finding out she left. As Serena opened the window she slipped inside. Bianca wasn't in the mood to talk. She knew that Serena didn't know it was her father, and she didn't plan on telling her.

They got ready and after an hour or so she had calmed down a bit. "Let's do something... I bet Rose will know what to do..." Bianca suggested. She really liked Rose, even though she got on her nerves sometimes. Bianca always got to try new things with her and it was exciting. Once they got off the phone with their friend they hopped in the car and drove off. The radio was playing Victoria Duffield's Shut Up and Dance. Bianca loved the 'Top 40' radio and she softly sang with the music. She laughed as the bright red head came up to the car and hopped in. They sped down the road until they got to the carnival. Bianca never really liked carnivals. The smell of dirty carni's, the dirty surroundings and loud screams. But she did like the cotton candy and balloons. She ran off to get cotton candy as the girls went on some rides. After she finished her snack, and her mouth was blue they went to the food court.

Current time - 1:50 pm
Bianca was emptying the trays in the garbage when she heard a familiar voice. Dante. Her pulse increased as she turned around to make sure it was him. Of coarse it was. She had the biggest crush on him and you would almost say she stalked him. But only a tiny bit. She walked back over to Serena and gave a half smile to both of the guys. She looked down to her sandals and couldn't seem to lift her head back up. Guys, especially Dante, always seemed to have that effect on her. She noticed there was a slight residue of blue nail polish left on her toes from a few weeks ago. She tuned back in to the conversation, "So have you guys been on any rides yet..." She spoke softly. It was almost a whisper. Her knees were shaking, you could see she was pretty nervous.

Current Time - 1:53pm
When Erik opened his mouth to speak to his best friend, a serious expression plastered all about him and making him stick out like a sore thumb in the midst of a fun-loving carnival, Dante gave him that Are you really going to get all serious and mushy on me, bro? look. He couldn't help but sigh and then laugh, nodding. That's how things used to be between them. A word was hardly spoken that they didn't already see coming. They were that close. ... Well, once upon a time.

At the mention of the girls, Erik furrowed his brows. "Girls? Wher--" Oh. *Those* girls.. Erik hadn't exactly spoken to them since he came back, at least not in great length. Beads of sweat immediately began crawling down his neck as he thought about the reaction now. What a great way to end the summer.

"Serena! Hey!" Dante called out to them, Erik following behind like the lost pup he was nowadays. He offered a genuine smile, hoping that would do for a waiver of an apology until a more appropriate time arose. The girls seemed nice enough for the moment. Serena appeared happy enough to see Dante, at least, laughing, "Funny seeing you here!" Erik lifted his gaze from her and immediately found the flaming red-head, Rose. She'd done something to her hair, but he couldn't place it. He was never good about stuff like that, but at least he knew something was different, right? Whatever it was, she looked great, and he couldn't help but feel a kick in his ass about how he'd ditched her, too, just like the rest.

Whatever. Don't be a downer. Take a chance.

"Hey Rose." Erik lifted his hand in a casual wave to her, cocking a smile out of the corner of his lips. He looked to the others and -- holy shit, Bianca was there, too! He had hardly noticed her at all, she was so timid. He laughed, nodding to her as well. "Bianca, Serena. Just get here?"


Earlier in the Morning
"Erik, honey, I just don't want you to think that I don't appreciate the work you've done." His mom let out an exasperated sigh, throwing her hands up in the air.

"Mom, I get it. I do." He stepped closer, bringing his hands up in surrender. "I promise.. It's just an outing."

"But how do I know who you'll be with, where..."

"It's with Dante, mom."

"Oh." Her tone immediately changed from one of great concern and worry to a slightly more relaxed ease. She liked Dante. He was a good kid, in her eyes. Where had she gone wrong with her own son?

"Look, I told him I'd pick him up... I gotta get going." Erik rubbed the back of his neck with his hand, his other playing with the keys hooked to his belt.

"Will you be home for dinner?"

"Do I have an alternative to staying out a little later for the last few days of summer?"

"Honey, you know I just worry about you." She stepped close enough to hold him, but she settled for bringing a hand to his cheek. "I know you're you again."

"Try telling that to my friends." He sighed.

"They'll come around, you'll see." She crossed the kitchen, reaching for the purse on the counter and pulling out a few bills. Handing them to him, she let out a sigh. "No later than midnight, young man."

"I'm too young to be out past 10 o'clock curfew by law, anyhow, mom." He winked at her. She winked back.

"See you later."

Currant time 1:53 pm
Dante was enjoying the carnival it had been awhile since he had been to one to say the least. He looked at Erik who had a look of seriousness about him. Something was up and he had feeling what he might say. Giving him that 'Are you really going to get all serious and mushy on me, bro?' look. Which always stopped him from saying anything and made him laugh. That's when Dante saw some people he recognized especially one female in particular. "Girls!" He yelled out."Girls? Wher--" Oh. *Those* girls.. Erik hadn't exactly spoken to them since he came back, at least not in great length. Dante began to yell out. "Serena! Hey!"

He then looked to Bianca which he had a crush on her, but he had trouble telling her so. She always seem to timid like all the time and he wondered about that continuously. "So have you guys been on any rides yet..." She spoke softly. It was almost a whisper. Her knees were shaking, you could see she was pretty nervous. "No not yet Bianca." Dante says with a smile. "We're just about to go on some. Care to join us?" He asked as he looked at the girls. "Oh! Rose you dyed your hair again you look great." He added noticing the bright red headed girl.


Early, Early in Morning

Dante was up early in the morning, but to tell you the truth it was still midnight going to the next day. He was up cause he was working on his transformation and trying to figure out how to relax his muscles while doing so. This however wasn't going to well the transformation was still painful and it still brought a small tear to his eyes. Not understanding why this kept happening it stop for the night and sat in his room. A small sound caught his attention, the sound of foot steps patting on the wooden floors, he recognized those foot steps as his brother.

The door opened just a creak as his brother whispered. "Danny. . . you awake." He frowned a bit. "Yes I'm awake!" Dante hissed at him. "I was just about to go to bed now." Marquis walked in and smile. "What are you doing in here? Choking a chicken?" He chuckled lowly. "No! I was trying to practice my transformation." Dante says tiredly. "The pain is still there." Marquis looks at him confused. "Pain? You're still experiencing pain? After you transform the first time the pain should be gone." Dante looked at him with pouty face. "I know that! But the pain is still there and I can't figure out why." Marquise scratched his head. "Maybe you should rest a bit so you can change without pain, but I'll ask around maybe Cynthia might know." Dante let out a slight growl at her name. "What's the matter now?" His brother asked. "Nothing I'm tired so get out of my room. I got a big day tomorrow and I need to sleep." He says as he climbs into bed. "Alright!" Marquis heads back out to the hallway. "Danny. . ." He whispers. "What?" Dante mumbles. "Be careful alright." Dante sighed as he left the room. "Yea. . ."

Once he was sure Marquis had left he let out a small whimper of pain. Not cause of sadness, but that his brother left him for Cynthia. Dante understood that you fall in love and with that may cause you to get married. However, he felt Marquis may have gotten married to early and for that he felt anger towards his brother. There was no quarrel between him and Cynthia in fact he honestly like her as a sister in law, but not when it came to his brother. Especially since she denied him kids and he hated that, who was she to deny Marquis kids. To him that shouted trust issue, what secret sis she have to not want kids.

Dante let out a sigh of frustration knowing getting angry at it wouldn't help. He fell asleep after a bit his deep sleep was woken up when he heard his alarm go off. Groaning from a good headache after maybe practicing maybe to much he got up from his warm bed and headed to take a shower. It was a brief shower one that took 15 minutes before he got dressed. He knew his friend Erik was going to pick him up and he was happy since he had disappeared, but he then picked up where they started. Dante had no ill will against him and he was thinking about telling him that.

Earlier in the morning

Cameron rolled over in his large bed. His hand crept over to the other side, making sure he was alone. He had been out with some friends last night and they had been drinking, he didn't remember much. He checked his phone. "11:06" He groaned and sat up, reaching for a glass of water on his nightstand, which he chugged.
He lived in the basement of his family's house, he had his own kitchen and bathroom. There was a large tv across the room from his bed, where his xbox was connected.

He stumbled to his bathroom, where he brushed his teeth and took a long shower.
After drying off he headed to his kitchen, opening the refrigerator to take out the fixings for an egg sand which. He clicked on the radio. He bobbed his head as he made his breakfast and then sat down on his bed, flipping through the channels on the tv. After he finished his breakfast he got dressed in jeans and a tshirt and went upstairs.

"Serena! Ruby!" He called for his sisters, roaming around the house. He climbed yet another flight of stairs and checked their rooms. Serena was gone. Where was she? His protective instincts kicked in. He knocked on Ruby's door. "Ruub??" He opened it slightly.

"Hey sis. Do you know where Serena is?" He let himself in her room and sat on her bed. He was comfortable with his sisters, besides his overly protective trait, they were like friends.
"She's not in her room and I noticed the cars gone..." He picked up a magazine that was on her bed. "What the hell are you reading this for?!" He held up the article about sex. "Ew.." He rolled it up and stuck it in his back pocket as he stood.
Ruby tried to grab the magazine from him but he swiveled. "She's at the carnival i think!" Ruby told him. "Kay thanks" He smiled and ruffled her hair before leaving.

Current Time 2:02 pm

Cam decided he would go into town to grab some coffee and swing by the carnival to check on some of the young ones. He was constantly making sure they were following the rules. Especially no romance till 20. He felt kind of bad disturbing them, but then again, it was his job. He remembered when he was their age, all he wanted to do was turn 20 so he could be intimate with a girl. He usually didn't say anything if they were on group date or being relatively appropriate with each other. After all, he liked being a cool elder. He knew what it felt like to be a young werewolf.
He rode into town on his motorcycle, it was black with slight blue fading.
He stopped at the Topaz Cafe to grab an iced vanilla coffee and saw a few people there he knew. He stopped for a quick chat and then was on his way to the carnival. He wasn't really up for shifting this morning, if he had to he would. He walked in, explaining to the ticket booth lady that he was just looking for someone. Normally, she wouldn't let anyone in without buying a ticket but there was something very charming about this guy that made her take a risk. He gave her an award winning smile and entered the park. It wasn't hard to find his sister, he could smell the young group of werewolves from the entrance.
There they stood in a group, walking towards a ride. It was Dante, Serena, Bianca, Rose and Erik. He knew his sister's friends fairly well, Bianca looked like she had a hard morning. He felt for her.

He took a seat on a bench and looked busy on his phone, keeping an eye on his sister. His thoughts drifted to the rest of his family, which included Ruby and his father. Tonight was one of the only nights everyone might be home, he made a mental note to make it family night.

Serena
Serena looked at Dante's smile. He was a genuine guy. No wonder Bianca had the biggest crush on him. As for Serena? Well it wasn't that she wasn't into boys or anything. She thought some guys were cute, but they were her friends, and that would be weird. "We're just about to go on some. Care to join us?" Dante asked as he looked at the girls. "Sure! Let's go to the Ferris wheel." Serena said, flashing her famous smile. To both guys this time. They started walking around, listening to all the bells and carnival jingles. They were approaching the Ferris wheel, Serena moved closer to Erik, she felt bad. He deserves another chance. She thought. As they waited in line, it was silent. Bianca didn't say anything either, but that was normal. Once they got to the front, the cars could only fit 3. Bianca, Dante and Rose got in the first one. Serena looked as the blue passenger car approached, they both got in.

They didn't make eye contact until the ride stopped. They were at the top, "There's a great view from here..." She said. She looked over to him. "I'm sorry... Can we start over? Forget everything?" She asked. She had really been close with him before. She hated not having friends, she was just a generally kind person. Suddenly she smelt the air. It smelled like werewolf. Not only a werewolf, but it had a certain smell. It was her brother. Part of her was happy he cared, the other wanted her space. Could she not be trusted with her friends? She snapped back to reality and put a hand through her hair, looking out onto the view of the city.

Bianca
"We're just about to go on some. Care to join us?" Dante asked as he looked at the girls. "Sure! Let's go to the Ferris wheel." Serena said, flashing her famous smile. Bianca smiled a bit too. "Good, I could use a gentle ride.." She added. She heard Rose sigh, of coarse Rose wanted the more adventurous rides. They started walking around. It sounded so happy and bright. She looked around and saw kids running around, eating treats and smiling. It brought a sweet smile to her face. She then saw a little girl crying. The girl had dropped her ice cream. She walked over quickly and gave the girl 2 dollars. "Get another ice cream" She offered. She quickly ran back to Dante's side and he was smiling. His smile is so perfect! She though. They finally got to the line and it was awkward.

Finally the pink passenger car arrived and they went in. They being Dante, Rose and herself. She sat in the middle of them and didn't say much. Rose was looking out the caged windows and taking in the view. Bianca started to twirl her hair. She was extremely nervous, she hated heights. She held onto the bar and was tense. "I... I can't do this...." She mumbled. She gripped the bar even tighter. "Don't be such a baby!" Rose replied. Bianca couldn't help it, she could feel herself going pale. She leaned on Dante's shoulder, not even thinking really.

Dante

Dante looked to Serena at the mention of the Ferris Wheel. As a kid he use to really enjoy it and he loved the high view being able to see a great amount of distance. A scent caught his nose another older werewolf was here, he easily distinguish the smell as Cameron's scent more than likely to check on Serena. Bianca walked over quickly and gave the girl 2 dollars. "Get another ice cream" She offered. He couldn't help but smile at her generosity to the child. Dante saw as the cart for the Ferris wheel came up and they all climbed in except for Serena and Erik.

The Ferris Wheel climbed higher and higher until they were almost to the top. Dante smiled as he looked out the window to see the view. "I... I can't do this...." She mumbled. She gripped the bar even tighter. "Don't be such a baby!" Rose replied. Bianca couldn't help it, she could feel herself going pale. She leaned on Dante's shoulder, not even thinking really. He looked over when he saw Bianca leaned against his shoulder which made him blush a little bit. "Just close your eyes." Dante says as he covers her eyes with his hand in brushing motion. "The ride will be over soon enough."

Early this morning

Rose closed her eyes, not asleep but not quite fully awake. A black cat with one white ear slept in her chest. The cat's even breathing almost lulled her back to sleep, but each time she started to drift off she opened her eyes. The empty house was unnervingly silent. She tried her best to keep her eyes open, away from the flames that danced behind her eyelids. Then in her mind she heard that scream from her younger sister that tormented her ever since she had heard her. It replayed in her mind, like a broken record. Again, and again, until she crumpled into a ball around the cat. The animal simply readjusted and curled up in Rose's tight embrace.

Groaning, she kicked off the blankets and stood up quickly. The cat let out a small annoyed sound, almost a growl. "Oh, calm down Louie." She rolled her eyes as the cat, Louie, stretched out lazily and perched himself on her windowsill.
He watched Rose dress and brush through her short red locks. Rose gave the rather small cat a fond stroke, that he leaned into and purred. When she stepped back, he meowed a farewell and jumped out the window, landing easily on the grass below. He padded off, in search of Lucas. Rose had gotten Louie when a stray cat had kittens and the mother and the other kittens had died. He was her cat, but Louie adored Lucas. Rose and Lucas kind of shared him. When ever one of them got too boring, he would go off and find the other. He was just about the smartest animal she had ever owned.

With a small sigh, she shrugged on a white sweatshirt and headed off to Serena's. Taking out her phone, she texted Lucas.
'Meet me at the carnival. I'll be with Serena and Bianca.'

Current time

Rose had gotten to the carnival, and within minutes of being there, Dante called out to Serena. She turned and saw that Erik was with him, too. Her heart felt a little like a paper being crumpled up. She had a crush on him since she was little, and he had turned his back on her friendship. As far as she knew, only Lucas was awake of her affections. But she knew that he liked Serena, so they where at a draw. Not that either of them would give up the other's secrete.
She offered a small smile and a wave to the two. When Serena said they should go on a gentle ride, she gave her an annoyed look. 'gentle' was not in Rose's vocabulary when it came to having fun.
When Dante said her hair looked nice, she flashed him a bright smile. "Thanks!"
Erik gave her a small, crooked smile and pursed her lips, unsure of what to say. Just when she opened her mouth to speak to him, Serena said they should go on the Ferris wheel, and herded them towards it. She followed along, turning away from Erik.

Rose got on with Bianca and Dante. As they climbed higher in the cart, Bianca froze up. "Don't be such a baby!" She told her, flashing her another bright smile. Bianca leaned against Dante, and he blushed. She looked away quickly.Her sky blue eyes drifted across the other carts, and found their way to Erik. Watching him talk to Serena, her brow furrowed. As she bit her lip, she decided she wanted to forgive him.
Rose jumped a little when they started to move again, descending.

Serena
He let out his breath with a laugh, reaching and arm over to hug her. She was tense, she hadn't hugged him, well even touched him for a long time. "Thank God, I wasn't sure how much longer I could go without teasing you." He winked at her. She smiled, they were always that flirty best friends. Everyone had always said they'd be a good couple, but when the whole thing happened, she just couldn't see it anymore. "Y'know, you've grown up." She looked at him. "Yup.." It was still a bit awkward but she could tell he was trying. "I bet your brother goes crazy with all the guys he has to beat away.", he added, trying to recuperate from his severe lack of charm and suave this evening. "What guys?!" She chuckled, "But he is that way.. Over protective.. It's almost as if I can sme... Sense him here!" She caught herself. She always had trouble keeping her secret. She then discretely sniffed the air again. The wind wasn't blowing in her direction, but she couldn't smell him anymore. Thank goodness... She thought.

She scratched her arm when the ride jerked to a stop. They were almost at the end. It felt like the ride had lasted forever. She looked down and saw the other cart unloading and reloading. She glanced at Bianca who was all shaken up. "Poor Bianca... I forgot she's afraid of heights!" She said, still looking down. There cart finally got back to the bottom. Erik let her out first, what a gentleman. She saw Bianca who was still shaky and pale. She rushed over, leaving the guys and Rose a few feet away. "B, I'm sorry! I forgot!" She said wrapping her arm around her best friend. "I snuggled with him...." Bianca said hiding a smile. "Really?!" Serena exclaimed. She wished she had seen it. It was probably the first time she has done anything with a guy. Let alone this being almost nothing. "You'll have to tell me the details after!" Serena said as the guys, well and Rose, came closer. Suddenly she felt a buzz in her pocket. She checked her phone, "Family night, be home by 6 for dinner" She checked the time, 2:36pm. Oh I have lots of time! She figured.

Bianca
"Just close your eyes." Dante says as he covers her eyes with his hand in brushing motion. "The ride will be over soon enough." She did as she was told and closed her eyes. She could feel his breathing which calmed her somewhat. Just feeling him there, his warmth made her at peace. He was really hot, and she wasn't talking about his appearance. Why is he so hot? She though. Finally the ride stopped moving, she peaked and saw the ground. "Oh the ground!" She yelled, running out of the death trap. She was pale and she was over by the bench. Dante and Rose were walking over when Serena pushed them aside to come to her aid. Best friends were like that, or at least this pair was. "B, I'm sorry! I forgot!" Serena cried, Bianca was still looking down, hoping her color would come back to her face. "I snuggled with him...." She mumbled, instantly catching Serena's attention.

Serena started to babble, which was normal, but it hurt her head. She had a major head ache. "You'll have to tell me the details after!" Serena said as the boys approached, well Rose included. Bianca just nodded, hoping she didn't look like a total ghost. "I need a break from the rides for a bit.." She said, still holding onto the bench. She sat down, looking up at everyone around her. Serena was patting her back and she could feel Dante's presence. "Well if it's okay with you, I want to go on some more rides..." Serena said, with a sympathetic smile. "No, it's fine. You guys have fun..." Bianca replied. She didn't want to be the one ruining everyone's fun. "So whose coming on Chaos with me?!" Serena questioned.

When the cart landed, it didn't take two seconds after Erik held open the latched door that Serena was making a break for Bianca. He smiled to himself, two friends down, a few more to go. That had actually gone really well for him, better than he thought. While Serena fawned over Bianca, who looked like she'd just seen a ghost, Dante made his way over to them - no doubt to make her feel better as well. Rose and Erik were the only ones who lingered behind for a bit, taking their time with the walk. There was a small hint of deja vu in the air, of the time before he'd left. He wanted to kick back, laugh, and joke like nothing had happened, but that barrier of awkward lingered in the air. Would it ever leave him alone? All actions come with consequences...

"Not your style of a ride, Rose." Erik glanced over at her, hands in his pockets. He looked back up and over at the rest of the carnival, as if searching for another ride that might suit the pair of them better -- he was itching for something a little more 'thrilling'. "There's always that octopus-looking ride?" He grinned at her, jabbing a thumb in the ride's direction.

They eventually caught up to the rest of the group just in time to overhear that the next plan was none other than: Chaos. "Or, we could head to that one. Your call, Rose." Erik looked at her expectantly, his smile ever-present. As long as, by the end of the day she was his friend again, he would suffer through the ferris wheel a million times over.

Dante

Dante felt the ride come to a halt as they reached the ground. "Oh the ground!" Bianca yelled as she ran out of the cart and to a bench. He never knew that Bianca had such an extreme fear of heights, but then again as he thought about it that would explain why she didn't do alot of the bigger rides when they did go to the carnival. "I need a break from the rides for a bit.." She said, still holding onto the bench. "Well if it's okay with you, I want to go on some more rides..." Serena said, with a sympathetic smile. "No, it's fine. You guys have fun..." Bianca replied. She didn't want to be the one ruining everyone's fun. "So whose coming on Chaos with me?!" Serena questioned. Dante looked at the group of friends. "Hey you guys go ahead." He said with a smile. "I'll watch out for Bianca until she feels a little better and we'll catch a little later."

Dante then sat at on then bench next to Bianca and watched the group head off to the other rides. "You alright Bianca?" He asked gently as he saw she was still a little pale. "Do you want me to get you some water or Sprite? Something to settle your nerves?" As he was very much concern on how she reacted to the ride. Dante himself felt alright until he notice the heat on his body when he put his hands together in his lap. "To much practice. . ." He thought to himself until he looked at Bianca again this time he felt himself blush. "Oh! Damn!" Now realizing that he was seriously crushing on Bianca at the moment causing a small reaction that made his werewolf trait to raise his body temperature higher. This was a little embarrassing since he heard his mom, dad, and brother talk about this reaction. When you're in love or have a crush the werewolf inside of you has a need to make its presence known by odd ways. Whether it be by sudden transformation, by aggression to others to defend the crush, or simply by raising ones temperature. Dante was thankful it was the last one, but it felt funny.

Serena
"Which ever one you think will be more fun." Rose said. Serena looked out at all the brightly colored rides. "Well let's go then!" She exclaimed. She turned back and waved to Bianca before going. She noticed Dante was staying with her. As she turned back around she heard screams from the passing rides. "Let's go on that one!" Serena suggested. She was pointing at the tallest ride, the FREAK OUT. They walked up to the line, it was pretty long. "Well I guess we'll be waiting here a while!" She joked.

Bianca
"Hey you guys go ahead." He said with a smile. "I'll watch out for Bianca until she feels a little better and we'll catch a little later." Bianca looked up, he is such a gentleman. She watched as the other three started walking off, and Dante sat next to her. "Thanks.." She mumbled. She looked over to the merry go round and watched as the kids got on the ride. She remembered growing up and how she had named all the horses. She could feel herself gaining color again and she breathed slowly. It was hard not to freak out when he was sitting next to her though. "Want to go on the merry go round?" She asked.

She had always loved the merry go round. They got up and walked over. She almost tripped and grabbed onto his arm. When they got in line she realized she was still holding onto his arm and she let go immediately. "Sorry.." She said softly. Her face turned a shade of hot pink. Finally when they got through the line they walked onto the ride. There were white horses, dark horses even some red ones. But she had a favorite, it's name was Periwinkle. She had always loved that horse, the way it in the middle of a jump. She hopped up and watched Dante go on the grey horse beside hers. The joyful jingle played as the horses went up and down.

Dante

"Thanks.." She mumbled. She looked over to the merry go round and watched as the kids got on the ride. "Want to go on the merry go round?" She asked. Dante nodded gently as he was snapped from his thoughts. She almost tripped and grabbed onto his arm. When they got in line she realized she was still holding onto his arm and she let go immediately. "Sorry.." She said softly. Her face turned a shade of hot pink. He blushed slightly. "Its alright." Dante climbed on the grey horse. This was of course as close to a horse he could get. Being a werewolf meant that a lot of animals were scared of you especially prey animals like horses. Which was a shame since he liked horses they were so graceful when they ran or jumped. Smiling as the ride started up a bit as the familiar sounds of the music and the movement of horse going up and down as the ride began to spin. Dante looked to Bianca who was glowing with happiness as the ride began to go. Her smile was so warm and inviting and he loved it.

When the ride finally came to an end he climbed off of the grey horse and helped Bianca down off of the periwinkle horse. He then saw another thing they could go on. "Wanna go to the fun house?" Dante asked as he saw it not to far from them. Granted it was a cheesy kind of fun house it was pretty neat cause it was old and had a huge wooden slide at the end. Knowing that the others would probably at some of the more extreme ride for a bit cause the lines were a little long.

Serena
"I wonder which of you two will scream first." He winked at Serena, but kept his eyes on Rose. She smiled. She had always been such a girly girl. She screams on rides, always has to have her nails polished and wouldn't be able to live without her favorite channel bag. She had always had a thing for Erik, but she was still on the fence about him. Did he really change? Or does he just want to get in everyone's pants... She debated in her mind his intentions. She remembered some of the really good times they had, even when she helped him study for exams. She was snapped back to reality when Erik started talking again. "You know what I can't wait for? Halloween and all the Fright Night shows and carnivals. The Haunted Houses? Where you can be anything you want for a whole day? Wouldn't it be cool if you turned in to whatever it was you dressed up as? Even if it was Cinderella-like and ended at Midnight? I mean, think about it. You could be a vampire, a witch, a ghost... Even a werewolf. How bad ass would that be?"

Serena froze. She started scratching her head. She could feel her werewolf side itching to transform. "Ya...Haha... As long as it's not permanent..." She laughed. She hated when people wanted to be a werewolf. Or any other creature for that matter. There in Campbellton, they didn't have to worry about any other creatures like vampires, ghost and sirens. There town was safe, well at least for now. She also hated that she was a werewolf. She wanted to be normal. But she wasn't, so she would just have to deal with it. They moved up some more and she guessed they had about 5 minutes until it was their turns on the ride.

Bianca
When the ride finally came to an end Dante climbed off of the grey horse and helped Bianca down off of Periwinkle. "Wanna go to the fun house?" Dante asked. Bianca looked over to the creepy house, it couldn't be that bad... She thought. They walked over and waited for not even a minute before they went inside. It started off as a mirror maze, they went through but they kept getting separated. "Dante! Where are you?! I found the stairs!" She yelled out. She looked to her left and saw 2 Dante's while at her right was 3. "Dante?" She said reaching out to one of the Dante's, but it was a mirror. She turned and saw the real Dante in front of her. She gave him a hug, wrapping her arms around him. She let go of him and realized, of coarse, she was blushing again. She grabbed his hand, but she was nervous. "Let's stick together..." She suggested.

They walked up the stairs and through the crazy halls. At the end of the hall were some silly mirrors. She laughed as they stopped in front of each mirror. "I'm tall!" She giggled. Being only 5'4, looking tall was impossible without heels. They both laughed as she walked to the next mirror. "Now we look like oompa loompa's!" She exclaimed. Dante was smiling, "Short and fat!" He laughed. His laugh was so cute. They walked up to the final mirror and it was probably meant to make you look skinny, but it made them look like they were standing really close together. She was smiling, a sweet and innocent smile. "Can I tell you something?" She asked, looking up at him, still in front of the last mirror.

Dante

Dante loved the fun house mainly because they were funny on how the abstract your view of yourself. He sort of lost Bianca through the house of mirrors for a minute. "Dante! Where are you?! I found the stairs!" She yelled out. She looked to her left and saw 2 Dante's while at her right was 3. "Dante?" She said reaching out to one of the Dante's, but it was a mirror. She turned and saw the real Dante in front of her. She gave him a hug, wrapping her arms around him. She let go of him and realized, of coarse, she was blushing again. She grabbed his hand, but she was nervous. "Let's stick together..." She suggested. Dante blushed a bit as he and Bianca walked around the fun house. When they got to the silly mirrors both of them started to laugh. Especially since when he was making the silly faces in the mirrors. "Can I tell you something?" She asked, looking up at him, still in front of the last mirror. Dante looked from the mirror and stopped making silly faces. "Sure?" He said with a smile.

Serena
"Even if it was for a night, I would prefer not to get all furry, or turn into Dracula. Anyways, why would you need to dress up? You are pretty darn scary-looking, just the way you are." Rose teased Erik. Erik grinned, "It's true. What do you think? Did the blue mohawk look better after all? Maybe I'd turn in to a rockstar for the 24-hour period of Halloween." Serena laughed. Being a rockstar would be much better than a werewolf... She thought. Finally, they were entering the rides. "Here we go!" Erik yelled. Serena was scared, she looked over to Erik. She grabbed his arm as the roller coaster started. every click of the carts going up built the anxiety. Serena was the first to scream, of coarse. She loved the rides, but they made her a bit uneasy. Not enough to puke but it's not the best feeling. After they got off, Serena was a bit pale. "That was awesome! You hardly made a peep Erik!" She noticed. She smiled as they all walked along, looking for another ride.

Bianca
"Sure?" He said with a smile. She started rubbing her hands together, nervously. "I... um..." She didn't know how to word it... But she wanted to tell him how she felt. She had done this before, said she wants to say something but doesn't say what she wanted. She looked at her shoes and could feel him wondering what was going wrong. She looked up and kissed him. She felt awkward as she pulled back and looked away again. "I didn't know how to say it..." She said looking up into his eyes.

Dante

Dante began to ponder what Bianca wanted to ask him he was starting to worry. "I... um..." She didn't know how to word it... But she wanted to tell him how she felt. She had done this before, said she wants to say something but doesn't say what she wanted. She looked at her shoes and could feel him wondering what was going wrong. She looked up and kissed him. She felt awkward as she pulled back and looked away again. "I didn't know how to say it..." She said looking up into his eyes. He looked at Bianca and he couldn't help, but blush as he received a kiss from her. Dante felt like those cartoons where the character does like a million back flips bouncing off the walls and cheering. Looking back at Bianca who looked awkward at what she did. He smiled at her and hugged her twirling her around. "I had no idea!" He exclaimed happily as he returned a kiss to her. Dante was on cloud nine right now.

Bianca
He smiled at her and hugged her twirling her around. "I had no idea!" He exclaimed happily. She couldn't completely tell how he felt when he spun her around. Did he take it as a joke? But then he kissed her back. Her stomach was instantly filled with butterflies. She looked over and saw more people coming up the stairs. "Race you!" She yelled, running to the wooden slide. Sliding down she was laughing as she saw him come down after her. She stood there, with one leg bent, with a cute little grin plastered on her face. "I think I need some more cotton candy.." She giggled. She didn't know why, but she felt extra outgoing. They walked around and watched the little kids parading around with stuffed animals. They walked by the games, the ones that have yellers. "Come on up! I think you are perfect for this game! Wanna win something for the beautiful lady?" Dante stopped and had an ambitious look on his face. "You don't have to..." She explained but he went up to the booth anyways.

It was one of those water shooting games. One where you shoot the bulls eye and get a prize. The yeller had a mini water gun and started squirting Bianca as Dante was playing. Obviously flirting with her, but she showed no interest. "So your boyfriend is winning you a prize?" He said sarcastically. She shook her head, "He's not my boyfriend..." She replied. Which put a big smirk on the carni's face. He kept squirting her with the water gun, which made her foundation on her arms come off. But she had totally forgotten about it. After Dante won her the pink stuffed dog she smiled. She reached out to grab it, not noticing all her bruises were showing.

Dante

Dante was so happy that Bianca liked him a bit more. "Race you!" She yelled, running to the wooden slide. "Come on up! I think you are perfect for this game! Wanna win something for the beautiful lady?" Dante stopped and had an ambitious look on his face. "You don't have to..." She explained but he went up to the booth anyways. After Dante won her the pink stuffed dog she smiled. She reached out to grab it, not noticing all her bruises were showing. He smiled as Bianca took the pink stuff dog which made him happy. Dante then notice the bruises on her arm they were recent from what he could tell. Grabbing her arm gently he looked at them and looked at her. "Who did this?" He asks with a stern voice, but still very much concern. The werewolf side of him was getting antsy now after seeing bruises. Dante felt the anger of werewolf inside of him needing to protect was starting to take over. He felt his back muscles tense and starting to twist a little bit wanting to change.

Serena
"That wasn't bad, now was it." Rose winked at Serena, who was looking a little pale. Rose hardly seemed phased. "So what next?" Erik rolled his eyes, laughing. "Raging Rapids?" Erik suggested. "I bet we get on the ride in less than 10 minutes!" He called out behind him, darting further in to the 'cave like' entrance that spiraled around. Serena watched him run off. She looked at Rose and they both jogged into the cave. He seemed tired and short of breath. "Need to take a rest old man?" Serena joked. She loved being a tease, especially with Erik. They stood in line, walking every few minutes. "I think we should check in with Dante and Bianca later.." She said. She always felt as if she was Bianca's mother, or older sister. Always caring and worrying about her.

Bianca
Grabbing her arm gently Dante looked at them and looked at her. "Who did this?" He asked with a stern voice, but still very much concern. She immediately yanked her arms back and put them behind her back. "I uh... I don't know what you're talking about..." She said. Of course she knew what he was talking about, but she would never tell him. "I fell down the stairs..." She lied. She turned back into her shy, timid self. She squeezed the pink dog and twirled her hair.

Dante

"I fell down the stairs..." She lied. She turned back into her shy, timid self. She squeezed the pink dog and twirled her hair. Dante could tell she was lying right off the bat. Mainly he was reading the signs she was giving off, but for now he would drop it. He didn't feel right about doing so, but for now it maybe the best option. "Ok. . . If you say so." Dante says gently as he looks away from the bruises. "But if something happens" he says putting emphasis on the word 'happens.' "Just tell me okay. I'll be more than willing to help in any means necessary."
