Love Struck

CHAPTER 17

"Shit." Benjamin Peeper mutters while going through his camera. "I was not able to get a picture of Bethany Badger like he wanted." He walks down the deserted street to meet his client.

He looks over his shoulder but sees nothing. He feels as if someone is following him. People hate his kind of photography, and who can blame him? He even considers himself despicable and he enjoys it. He wants to watch the world burn.

He will tear his lesser halves apart, piece by piece. They may have fame and fortune, but that will soon be his. They may be two years older, but he is two years smarter.

He knows the secrets of everyone in the city. From the Rainplex sisters to Jay Bellwood. He also suspects who the Crystal Keepers are. They are obvious as can be. Angelic does not even wear a mask.

Benjamin stops at a yoga studio. He loves checking out all the fine women working out. No men are allowed inside, but the windows give him ample viewing pleasure.

There is only one woman inside. The mayor must have ordered a new curfew.

The girl is wearing skin tight pink yoga pants and a pink strapless tank top. She has the fairest skin he has ever seen with the curliest pink hair and the purplest of eyes. She gracefully dances in the yoga studio to no music. When she spins and their eyes connect. Benjamin's heart skips a beat.

The mysterious bombshell winks at him. She waves for him to come in. His hands and feet go numb. Does a girl actually like him? He takes his chance to make a move. He opens up the door to the studio.

The girl kneels on the hardwood floor to roll up her pink yoga mat. "Name's Amanda Lust." She smiles. "And you are?"

Benjamin is quick to his knees. He puts a hand on her back and his other on the mat to pretend to help her. "Benjamin Peeper."

He slowly moves his hand down her back. Amanda lets out a small moan. Her face flushes red. She assists him by placing his hand on her ass.

"Right there." She breathes heavily. "God I am so horny."

It is every teenager's dream to be in his situation. After she finishes rolling the mat, he pinches his thigh. He is not dreaming. He shakes his head to get in the game. He kisses her on the cheek.

She turns her head, kissing him on the lips. She quickly pulls away. "You suck at kissing. But fuck it." She leans back in as they continue.

Amanda Lust had a subpar time. Benjamin Peeper only lasted a minute. She is fast asleep on the hardwood floors of the yoga studio, but that is fine by her. It is time for Lilith to dream walk.

The corset wearing, winged fiend is ready to cause some trouble as night begins to set. As people fall asleep, she can see windows leading into their souls. She runs her hand on the glass as it ripples. She is walking on clouds as new windows begin to appear.

Those windows belong to the citizens of Blueblaze. She is looking for five windows in particular. Ninjak is the biggest threat. Like her, the dreamers take on their peak appearance.

But in Dream World, she is at her most powerful. She snaps her fingers as her wings and tail retract. Her black latex knee-high heel boots, black fishnet stockings that go up to her thighs, a black latex mini skirt, and a black backless latex corset all become red. A red cloak appears on her as her lips become as red as blood.

She is cosplaying as someone named Red Riding Hood, who she saw on some digital box Angela was watching. Angela had annoyed her most of the day, sewing for no reason. She was all on her about getting the Ugoneagems, but she is slacking off. She did not even dive into the water to kill Frost Wave.
