Just a quick warning, I wont be able to publish for a week or two because of school. -REN

It was the thrashing that woke me.

"Get off of me!" Enid's claws glint in the dim light that radiates from the circular window.

"You promised shopping!" Yoko's blurry face comes into view and I scramble to grab my glasses, "Wait, Gwen, why are you here?" The vampire lets go of Enid, spotting me in my groggy presence.

"I fell asleep here." I insisted but Yoko didn't believe me.

"Sure." Was her response as Enid buried her face in the crook of my neck with a yawn.

"Canis, we have to go." I mumble, rubbing the were wolfs back gently.

"Give me five more minutes." Enid all but envelops me in a hug and I bite my tongue, trying not to whimper at the pain erupting in my stomach.

Yoko takes notice of my actions and sends me a sly look, "Enid, Gwen's still injured."

"Oh, sorry."  Enid scrambles off of me with an apologetic look on her face.

"It's fine. Honestly Canis." I quickly add the last part when the blonde raises her eyebrow.

"You two should probably get changed." At Yoko's words I tilt my head down to inspect what I'm wearing. Black sweatpants and a blue tee. 

Enid heads towards the closet to get dressed and I turn to Yoko, "What did Enid say last night that made you scream?"

"How do you know that I was the one who screamed?" 

"First, it was right after Enid muttered something. Second, it seems like the same reaction you had while we were painting the canoe. And third, just the way that you look at both of us right now." A crooked smirk forms on my lips, "What did you hear?"

"She said that-" Enid bounces into the room, causing Yoko to abruptly stop talking.

"Lets go guys!" Enid takes my hand and Yoko's arm as we head down the stairs, reaching the main door before Enid stops suddenly, "Where's Davinia?"

"She found a dree in her closet that matches the requirements." Yoko shrugs, "It's just the three of us now."

"Wait, what requirements?" I ask as we finally reach the shuttle.

"You need formal clothes to match the theme this year. And the colors are black and red in support of the vampires that the normies made into monsters." The dark haired girl winks, "Like me!"

Enid rolls her eyes, "You weirdo."

"Why thank you." The vamp flashes her fangs and sits down, Enid and I following close behind.

-Short Little Time Skip-

Once we reach Jericho, Enid drags me to the main dress shop while Yoko goes to grab the three of us coffee.

"How about this one?" Enid twirls around in her fourth dress, a sparkly red one.

"I think anything looks good on you." I grab a short, black, leather jacket and place it around the wolf's shoulders, "But this wound definitely enhance the whole look."

After she changes back into her hot pink shirt and pants we walk over to the register, "Just these two things please." I place the dress and jacket on the counter.

"Of course." The cashiers tag states that her name's Aubrey, "Anything for you?"

"No thank you." I hand her the money, "I'll be getting a suit."

"Alright. Have a good day you two!" Aubrey hands me the bag and waves us out the door.

"So Enid, where's the tailor?" I thread my fingers with hers.
