A Bite of Reality

Chapter One

Kat's POV

"KATERINA BROADLY GET YOUR BUTT HERE NOW!" I hear shouted from downstairs.  

"Just give me a minute," I say, trying not to laugh at the same time. I have one last check in the mirror, just to make sure I look fine in my pale blue strapless dress. With a smile at my reflection, I grab my purse and walk downstairs to be greeted by my other half, Sophie, with her low cut black dress which suits her blonde hair and petite body perfectly.

"Fuck you and your perfect body." I say to her "why can't I look like you?" 

"Because you're already practically perfect in every way, my little angel." She answers with a large amount of confidence. I really can't help but laugh. 

"I'm sorry but last time I checked, I wasn't Mary Poppins, Soph" I say, which makes her laugh too. 

"Like I give a crap. Hurry up, we can't be late for the biggest party of 2012!" She states, while linking arms with me. I roll my eyes, but follow her.

"Why am I even invited? I didn't even think Nate knew who I was." I mutter, annoyed at the fact that I had to spend 5 hours getting ready for a party which will probably only last 3.  

"You're invited because Nate has very well acknowledged you, and my sources tell me that he's into you."  

"Bullshit. Your sources?" This time I start giggling as I slide into the passenger's seat of the car. 

"Yes, my sources, you little bitch. Nate is my brother's best friend remember? He came over a few days ago and I couldn't help but listen in when he said you were hot." Sophie says, which makes me stare at her to see if she's joking, even though she's got a serious look on her face "Can't say I don't blame him, I mean, if I were a dude, you would be screaming my name in bed every single night of the week."  

"Oh my god" I say, laughing like a complete idiot with a completely shocked expression stuck to my face.

When we finally get to the party, I see that there's over hundreds of people here, ready to celebrate and get drunk at Nate's 18th. I really don't believe Soph when she says that Nate thinks I'm hot. I mean, come on! Nate is probably the most popular guy at our school, while I'm just the nerdy chick who moved here to England from Australia at the start of this year who just happened to be in Nate's English class. He could have any girl at this school, yet crushes on me? Yeah, no.

"Sophie! Kat! You guys made it!" I turn around to see Nate standing in there, with a smile plastered to his face, staring at me.  

"Happy Birthday, Nate," I say, sending a smile back at him. I look to my left to see that Sophie has already ran off somewhere, leavings to be my awkward self with Nate. Thanks a lot, bitch, I think to myself. I turn back to face him to see that his brown eyes are already looking into mine.  

"Well?" he says, leaving me confused.  

"Well what?" 

"Don't I get a birthday hug?" he says, pouting his bottom lip out, making him look so fucking cute yet sexy at the same time. I laugh as he spreads his arms out and wraps them around me.  

"Come on," he whipsers in my ear, let's go dance".

Later than evening, when only a few of us - which includes Soph and I, Nate, his friends Matt and Kyle, and another guy who is never actually met before - are left, we decide to sit around the dim campire. We're all just talking and laughing and I'm quite sure that everybody but me is drunk. I walk over to drinks table to find the last can of Lemonade sitting there, waiting for me to pick it up and drink it. I grab it, only to be grabbed by something myself. I turn around and laugh, seeing the drunk Nate struggling to stand straight and steady.

"Hey Kaaaaat." he says, slurring his words, causing me to laugh even more. 

"Hi Nate. Had a bit too much to drink, have we?" I answer him. 

"What? No! I'm not drunk." he says with a matter-of-fact tone. 

"Are you sure? You seem a bit tipsy," I say, pushing him a little bit, to see if he falls over. He stumbles a bit, but gets back on his feet and laughs. 

"See? Not drunk." "Nah, I think you're drunk. "Really?" "Truly." We continue for a minute or two.

"Well," He says, taking a step closer towards me, "if I were drunk, would I do this?" that's when he presses his lips to mine and pulls me close. I wrap my arms around his neck and smile against his lips, before pulling away. 

"Hmm..." I say, trying to tease him, "would you?"  

"I'm quite sure I would, actually, but let's just see if I remember it tomorrow and then you can be sure if I really was drunk or not." He answers confidently, making me laugh. 

"Well, until tomorrow I can wait." I say before kissing him again. He smiles and wraps his arms around me and rocks me side to side. I look back at the others to see the unknown guy staring right at me.

"Hey, who's that guy over there next to Kyle?" I ask Nate, looking at him as he turns around.  

"That's Matt." He says while laughing "God, and you say I'm drunk" 

"No, I know that's Matt, you idiot" I tell him, now laughing as well. "I mean the guy on his right. I don't think I know him." 

A confused look streams across Nate's face. 

"There isn't anyone on Kyle's right, Kat." 

"What?" I ask "Yes there is, he's right there..." Now I'm the confused one, because I look back and no ones there.  

"But, I could've sworn..."  

"Hey come on," Nate says, throwing his arm around my shoulder "Let's just go back and sit down."

So we walk back together, talking and laughing at the strangest things. We sit back down where we were, Nate next to Matt, and me next to Sophie. I give it to myself to look and see if that guy who was next to Kyle was back there. Once again, no one was sitting there. Wow, maybe I am drunk. Did someone spike my lemonade? Without a second thought, I go back to listening into the conversation the others are having, which mentions some stupid vampire movie that's recently come out.

"We should all go together!" Giddy Sophie says, making me roll my eyes. 

"Yeah, no thanks. Count me out" I mutter, which gets me an evil glare from Sophie. 

"Oh no bitch, you're coming. It's Breaking Dawn Part 2, the final movie!" She says, clearly excited. 

"Soph, you know I can't stand any of that vampire shit." 

"Noooo, you're coming either way." Nate chips in, which makes me warm on the inside, knowing that he wants me along. 

"I'll think about it." I tell them, "For God's sake, you'll probably forget all about this by tomorrow, you're all so drunk." which causes them all to argue with me. 

"I'm not drunk!" "I've only had 5 beers" "Nah, I'm smashed" The last remark coming from Kyle, making me and all the others laugh.

What happened next was just weird.

Out of nowhere, a massive gush of wind blew past, blowing out the campfire, leaving us with no light except for the lamppost far across the road, and the moon. I feel two strong arms grab me, and before I had a chance to scream, something was injected into my neck, leaving me drowsy and for everything around me to get darker as I fall into an unconscious lump in a stranger's arms.
