Stay! Away... from the sociopath

Ten: X: Bang, Bang, Ouch!

Insider scene of Friday's introductory party.

In stepped Aubrey, Frieda, Ingrid, and Rihanna at the party scene. The party was already in full buzz with music at its loudest, and drinks of all sorts; blood, vinegar, holy water, spirits, cocktails, and other assortments. People crowded the dance floor and every corner of the hall, turning into daredevils overnight.

"I wanna introduce you to someone, Rihanna," Frieda said, snaking her hand around Rihanna's waist, and pulling her along.

"I guess it's just you and me," said Aubrey to Ingrid.

The latter giggled and squealed when she saw a friend. "I'm sorry, Aubrey." she ran off.

Aubrey sighed. "Oh well, I wasn't born with a twin." She walked up to Fawkes and his gang who were having a fun time playing pool and drinking.

"Evening fellas. Room for one more?" she said.

"Kindly help yourself." Oliver, Fawkes's twin brother replied, with a warm smile.

Aubrey reciprocated the gesture with a warm smile. She picked up the stick, aimed, and shot. She watched with a smirk as all the balls entered into holes.

"Here," Fawkes handed her a red cup which Aubrey arched a brow at. "It's cocktail. Cheers to beginners' luck," he smirked.

"Cheers," Aubrey said. She and Fawkes downed their cups. Fawkes is a Vampire and Fae hybrid, so he had human blood and nectar mixed in liquor.

The music tempo had picked up and it vibrated in their bones. They held eye contact for a very long time.

"Let's dance," he said leading the way to an extreme corner on the dance floor.

They danced, grinding on each other, having fun like the rest of the supernatural beings in the hall.

After a while of dancing, the heat could be felt from every corner of the field, and it had an effect on Fawkes.

He grinned seductively, pulling Aubrey closer to himself by the waist, aiming for a kiss. As he leaned in—,

A passing-by Demon witnessed the scene and frowned. He'd spotted Aubrey when she walked in. He was the first to smile at her and she smiled back even brighter than his. It warmed his heart. He would have approached her if not for a friend who needed his help in moving the food to the bar. When he returned, she was nowhere to be found and now, he's seeing her with another man, getting comfy.

He stormed off.

—Aubrey pulled away, clueless of who saw them. Fawkes frowned, his hands were still on her waist.

"I'm not interested, Fawkes. Kindly let me go." Aubrey said in a voice different from her normal tone. She used her Siren voice on him. She knew it was the only way for him to let her go.

The Vampire-Fae hybrid slid his hands off her waist. "I'm sorry," he said.

"No wahala (problem). Thanks for the dance." She left him and mingled with her other friends. She saw a familiar Demon who was helping with the drinks at the bar. She flashed a smile at him and he weakly smiled back.

Meanwhile, in another area, Frieda was busy introducing Rihanna to all her friends, male and female included, and her hand never left Rihanna's waist for once. It even dropped lower to her hips at some point.

Rihanna ignored it, thinking she was drunk. Frieda had been gulping whatever liquor she passed by whilst flirting with every male and female.

Frieda introduced her to a couple of Nymphs but Rihanna found it hard to focus. The smell of passion fruit, cedar, and honey intoxicated her. Her eyes trailed around the place searching for where the pleasurable fragrance emitted from.
