7. Slugs

"Your finally up." Skylar rolled her eyes as Hope stood up in bed, smiling wide. "Why're you..." Skylar twirled a hand around Hopes face. "That?"

"Just a little happy." Hope smiled as one of the bugs crawled up to Skylars ear.

"Alright then." Skylar smiled before changing and walking out the door, unknowing of the slug inside her ear.

"Hey, uh Skylar." Jed called to her as Skylar had started to walk out of the lounge.

"Yeah?" Skylar turned around.

"We, uh the wolves were wondering if you wanted to join in. On our part of the talent show." Jed assumed. "Cause you're a hybrid but the witches are doing their own thing, and you have nothing to do."

"And they also know I'm so good at backflips, and every other trick in the world."

"Also that." Jed nodded.

"Alright. I'll see you for practice at what time?"

"About 3. We preform right after the vamps, so don't be late." Jed assured her. "We need all the practice we can get."

As the vampires preformed, Skylar got ready backstage, placing on her leather jacket and a stupid shirt where all of the wolves were matching.

"Hey, cutie." Josie came up behind her and wrapped her arms on Skylars shoulders.

"Hey." Skylar smiled.

"You'know, I'm always doing the right job, and I'm sick of it." Josie noted, slightly trailing her hand up Skylars colarbone. "You wanna get out of here?"

The two of them stood out in the cold, and Skylar held out her hand, twirling Josie around her fingertips and dipping her down.

Skylar bit her lip as she pulled Josie up, faces nearing for a second. "You're beautiful." Josie smiled, trailing her finger down Skylars jawline.

"How about, we go out into the woods." Skylar smiled. "Then we can have a little, fun." Skylar encouraged.

As soon as they headed onto the small wooden stairs, Skylar was immediatly pushed back. Josie ran her hand down Skylars chest, then pushed herself down to kiss her. Josie was more rough, but Skylar didn't mind, wrapping her arms around Josies neck right before a blast of wind separated them, knocking Skylar down into a wall as Hope appeared and cast a spell on her.

"What happened?" Skylar muttered, ears hurt and eyes blurry. Hope stepped on a slug before helping Skylar up.

"You alright?" Hope asked.

Skylar's eyes and ears opened up. "Yeah. Yeah, for sure." She muttered.

After the wolves amazing preformence with too many tricks to count, it was finally the witch factions turn. Skylar stood on the upper part of the auditorium, watching from above as the lights shown on Josie.

She looked nervous, but as soon as her eyes met Skylars, she could feel everything else disappear. "Standing in the shadows, I thought that I earned it...Feeling invisible, Believing. I deserved it, I can't remember, What I was waiting for, So no more." The lights turned on, revealing the rest of the witches. "I'm climbing over walls that I've made, I'm finding my place, On the stage." Josies eyes never left Skys as she continued to sing, finally stopping off as the whole crowd cheered.

Sky gave a whistle for Josie, who met her eyes and smiled gladly at her, Sky doing the same. Sky suddenly broke off the eye contact by coughing and looking away, but Josie continued to stare at the dark-haired girl.

Skylar sat in the lounge with the other wolves plus MG, Landon and Kaleb as they all joked around and talked about random things.

"Y'know, Skylar isn't that bad of a singer herself." MG assumed.

"No, I'm not that good." Skylar down-played herself.

"Come on, girl, sing for us!" Kaleb said as the others started urging her to go on.

"Alright." Skylar said as Landon pulled out a guitar.

"Damn bro, where you hiding that?" Kaleb muttered as Landon started to play.

Skylar rubbed her hands together before she started to sing. "She's got good taste."

"Good taste." Kaleb whispered along.

"Take off our clothes, By the fireplace," Skylar continued. "She looks just like a dream, The prettiest girl I've ever seen, From the cover of a maagazine."

Josie stood in the doorway, listening to every word that sang out of Skylars mouth. The way her eyes drifted across the room.

"I can't wait to buy you things, A brand new diamond ring, This is more than just a fling." Skylar sang as she got into it. "In the car, Cruising around with you, And my baby, You know that I got you. Hit the road, I'm taking off with you, Not in a hurry, There's something about you." Skylar stopped mid lyric as she saw Josie in the doorway, and Landon stopped playing when Skylar stopped singing.

Josie disappeared from the doorway before Skylar even got up, both of them flushed a red color.

"Well, that's a nice way to end the night." Kaleb said as he got up, patted Sky on the back, and walked to his room as everyone else started to leave too, leaving Skylar in the room as she flopped onto the couch.

"It would be nice to wake up next to her." Skylar muttered under her breath.
